Parrying Plasma: The Demonic Cultivation of a Mecha Traitor

Baili Chen was the undisputed sovereign of the Bloodbane Demonic Cult, a ruthless mastermind who bathed the ancient martial world in terror. That is, until he wakes up in the year 3042. Transmigrated into the frail body of a junk-scavenger, he is greeted by a blood-stained courier drone delivering a stolen Star Network chip. Installing it forces a terrifying identity swap: the system registers him as Gao Chenxing, the recently assassinated golden-boy commander of the Tiangang Interstellar Academy. Thrust into an elite military world where physical combat is an obsolete joke replaced by colossal mechas and laser shields, Baili Chen must survive under the crushing scrutiny of his new peers. Chief among them is his fierce rival, the elite pilot Kira Feng. Told in alternating perspectives between the cold, calculating demonic cultivator and the hyper-competitive Kira, the tension skyrockets when an assassination attempt forces Baili Chen onto the battlefield without a functioning mecha. He shocks the entire galaxy by stepping out of the cockpit and deflecting a heavy plasma cannon bare-handed using a demonic-infused Tai Chi movement. With his bio-mech panther Ying at his side, can the ancient tyrant conquer a high-tech galaxy?
