    i looked through the forums via title but it seems no one has directly asked the question.
    given what little i know of Chinese wu is martial... i think...and the main character's name is Lin Dong, so i assume it translates to something about his martial path or something...please let me know what it means

    A Martial Upheaval of the Universe is my take on it.

    Martial arts move everything in heaven and earth
    Wu=martial
    Dong=move
    Qiankun= refers to everything within heaven and earth(go look up wuxiaworlds explanation of the dao)

    Martial movement upheaval is probably the one that's the most commonly accepted.

    Not really. 我動我的沙發=I move my sofa
    So 武動乾坤= martial arts move everything in heaven and earth.
    The word before 動 is the subject. The words after is the clause
