Yea there's an anime of this but it's only about 5 to 10 minutes each episode. I used to watch it but it got boring because there was no progress on the main story, only him getting stronger and stronger..
Both leads are great! I didn't even try ALP even though I love Xu Kai.
It's about both main characters before their time skip and time apart. That's why those beginning episodes seem complicatedand rushed and fast. It's at a good pace after.
