Law of the Jungle (Book 13): A Wuxia Progression Fantasy Adventure Series
The battle against the Bohao cultists is nearing its climax. While the demon world has been freed from their grip, the cultists still thrive in the world of humans, having entrenched themselves at the very top of the Phoenix Clan.
To claim victory, the Seekers must discover a new source of power—one strong enough to stand against even the mightiest cultists. Now all they need to do is obtain it and survive. The Heavens would disapprove of anything else!

Thirteen and last
To much of the same thing over and over, the mc was a idiot and his wife was one too. Instead of killing one of the characters it just dragged on and on about how much they hated her. I have read thirteen of fourteen books of this series just to say I tried to finish a series but will not continue, the story is over for me

The Law of the Jungle series by Vasily Mahanenko proved to be a gripping blend of wuxia-inspired progression fantasy and survival-driven adventure. It takes the familiar “might makes right” premise and builds it into a richly layered world where Qi cultivation, territorial dominance, and personal ambition all collide.
From the very first book, the stakes are clear: in this world, strength isn’t just an advantage, it’s the only currency that truly matters. Mr. Mahanenko crafts a setting divided into zones, each brimming with danger, opportunity, and the constant threat of betrayal. The pacing is brisk, with battles and breakthroughs coming in satisfying waves, yet there’s enough breathing room for character growth and moral dilemmas to take root.
If you enjoy fast-paced progression fantasy with a martial arts flair, morally complex characters, and a world where every victory comes at a cost, you will definitely want to add the ‘Law of the Jungle’ series to your TBR, it is well worth diving into.
Happy Reading…

Succbus
This is the thirteenth book of the Wuxia Progression series. More gains, more enemies, and people with even more power. Will Zander be strong enough? An interesting turn on this one. We get to see more of the librarians and dig deeper into the cults. Curious to see where the next book takes us. The series as a whole is building to a breaking point…

Excellent
The plot continues to surprise! Was at the edge of my seat reading the last chapter of this book. Can't wait for the next one!

I loved this series once, and I'm almost ashamed to say I can't be bothered to even finish those at 80% mark. I'm don't with this series. I just can't.
