    I've long been wanting to read a Manga similar to The Breaker or a novel similar to Romance of Dragons and Serpents. Where Qi doesn't make you suddenly be able to fly or shoot fireballs and fights are more smart and technical.

    Xianxia's and Wuxia's have been so popular these days that no one seems to remember the 'actual' martial arts stories that don't revolve around shooting fireballs and stuff.

    The real wuxia is just martial arts tho ,well with a not so exaggerated form of internal energy , but that also exist in Romance of Dragons and Snakes and the Breakers.

    Bro, although that's in the future, it's both Sci-Fi and Xianxia. Doesn't have anything to do with hand-to-hand combat.

    It exists but it isn't exaggerated to the point people spit fireballs.

    However, it's already stepped out of the external martial art genre.
