Story

Giovanni stood as the undisputed champion of the martial realm until jealous rival factions betrayed him in battle, destroying his internal energy and slaughtering his closest comrades. Left for dead in the ruins of his fallen sect, he renounced the hollow pursuit of worldly fame and tournament titles forever.

Rebuilding his shattered physique through secret acupuncture techniques, Giovanni dedicates his remaining days to treating impoverished villagers caught in the brutal crossfire of greedy warlords. When ruthless tyrants threaten his defenseless patients, he unseals his silver needles as lethal weapons, fighting solely to preserve peace across the realm.
