Martial Arts Ain't Anything Special - Chapter 8: Divine Art (1)

“Your servant is Majestic Star ‘Panther Head’ Lin Chong, from this day forward I am your woman!”

Nine soul pets, nine fetters.

A hall of robbery souls, a bizarre adventure.

I looked down at them and they called me by my name.

I look up to the sky and write my legend.

“My name is Xia Lin, and I am the Lord of the Soul of Myriad Tribulations!”

- Description from novelbuddy

Living on the streets of Orchard's Reach, Sen never dreamed about becoming a cultivator. He barely even knew what cultivation was, let alone wanted to do it. When fate intervenes, though, he finds himself the disciple of a cultivator. Like all who find themselves on the path to defying the heavens, Sen will have to decide what kind of person he wants to be and what kind of mark he wants to leave on the world.

Varian only wanted to end the war with the Abyssals and bring peace so that no one would lose their dad like he did.
