However, he harbors a mysterious countdown device on his arm, invisible to others, which has been ticking down for three years, foretelling a dramatic shift in his destiny.

As Bai Le steps into the examination hall, the countdown hits zero, unveiling the 'Intent Blade' – a mystical system bestowing extraordinary martial abilities upon him. Despite his inherent talent deficit, Bai Le is thrust into the most challenging level of the virtual secret realm, propelled by a quest from the Intent Blade. Choosing the perilous Abyss level challenge, he seeks to demonstrate his true value and possibly unearth hidden talents.

The martial lineage of Bai Le's late parents, renowned martial arts masters, fuels rumors about his sudden emergence. His odyssey through the martial examination transcends physical tests, plunging him into a quest for self-discovery and the enigmas of the Intent Blade. Bai Le's tale, set against a backdrop of spirit Qi and emerging talents, is a tapestry of martial arts legacy, self-exploration, and the secrets of a world in flux.

As Bai Le advances, a sinister shadow looms, hinting at a conspiracy linked to his parents' untimely demise. Will he unravel the mystery in time, or will the dark forces in the Metaverse thwart his journey towards truth and self-mastery?
