Features: A fantasy masterpiece surpassing the era of "Zhu Xian," a new masterwork of fantasy martial arts, a half-human, half-beast realm, a turbulent world filled with injustice, a perilous cultivation world, and strange "beastmen" brimming with animalistic instincts. Yang Qiang: The descendant of a loyal family, he suffers a sudden, dramatic transformation overnight, becoming a monster with a human face and a beast's body: tiger bones, python sinews, eagle eyes, bear hearts, leopard courage, wolf lungs, and shark liver—except for his brain, his body has undergone shocking alterations. Yet, it is precisely this extraordinary physique that sets in motion earth-shattering changes in the human world. At this moment, a mysterious cultivation world is stirring.
Beast Scholar: Living in a secluded "paradise" in the center of the sea, he possesses astonishing medical skills and unimaginable magic, able to reshape the heavens and earth, bring the dead back to life, yet he grows weary of the mortal world, choosing to stay with ten beautiful, immortal-like wives and enjoy the rare opportunity to ascend to immortality alongside the heavens.
Phoenix: A crow yearning to become the king of all birds, miraculously transformed by the Beast Scholar, not only gaining the legendary appearance of a phoenix but also, thanks to his parrot-like tongue, becoming eloquent in speech. He is revered by the world as the "divine bird." The phoenix accompanies Yang Qiang as he reenters the human world, and together, the man and the bird stir up a storm of bloodshed, also triggering intense clashes between the human world and the cultivation world.
Ancient legend holds that the higher an animal's intelligence, the less it should be eaten. Due to the indelible beast instincts within them, consuming their flesh is believed to corrupt the eater. Yang Qiang, a descendant of a fallen military family, possesses great talent but suffers from the lack of a chance to serve his country. When the court faces invasion from foreign enemies, Yang Qiang joins the army as an ordinary soldier. During a naval battle against the enemy, the commanding general's arrogance and overconfidence lead to the annihilation of the entire army. Yet, Yang Qiang is not destined for death. At the brink of life and death, he is saved by the Beast Scholar, who is deeply versed in the "Blue Satchel Book" by Hua Tuo. However, this act transforms him into a monster—a human-faced, beast-bodied creature, with most of his organs derived from beasts: bear heart, leopard courage, wolf lungs, tiger bones, and python sinews.
After his body is restored, Yang Qiang returns to the battlefield with the divine phoenix, sweeping through enemy ranks with his unparalleled "beast body" and achieving numerous extraordinary victories. He earns the favor of the foolish king and later catches the attention of the princess of the court. Yet, Yang Qiang's meteoric rise attracts the envy of the powerful. Not only is his fiancée killed, but even the sword immortal, who remains detached from worldly affairs, becomes his pursuer. Meanwhile, a terrifying emerges within Yang Qiang. The beast instincts from his organs gradually manifest, and disaster looms on the horizon.
