Dragon Canon

Zhang Sheng, a peerless prodigy, was just going about his business when he accidentally altered the fate of Wei Yuan, a baby boy who had just been born in the Wei estate.

Their karmas became permanently bound since, and the master and disciple would eventually go on to change the world.


As the author’s unserious synopsis summarized rather succinctly, this is a novel about an industrial revolution unfolding in a Xianxia world.

The beginning of the story starts off in what seems like another Xianxia/Wuxia world, but it quickly becomes apparent that things aren't quite what they seem.

If you pay close attention, you'll notice sprinkles of “Huh?” here and there that keeps you intrigued. I really don’t want to spoil anything, but let's say it's something like finding a digital watch in the Middle Ages.

Later, in two hundred chapters or less if memory serves me right, Wei Yuan would stumble upon one of the sources of the incongruity and open his eyes to the almighty power of industrialization.

From that point onward, it's it’s “Oh?

You’re bringing a sword to a gunfight?

How cannon of you!”, baby!

Official Blurb:

Wei Yuan originally had no grand ambitions, but in the torrent of the times, he had no choice but to embark on the path of fighting wars and expanding territories.

He continued until he had traversed every mountain pass, never reaching old age.
