Since the age of 14, Kang Shi had found himself stuck at the Sixth Heaven of the Martial Warrior Realm. Despite relentless efforts, his attempts at cultivation proved futile, with his progress seemingly evaporating into thin air. The stagnation persisted, and as he reached the age of 18, four years had psed.
Among his peers in the n, who were of simr age, even those with supposedly inferior aptitude had surpassed him in strength. Kang Shi, once considered a young genius, now found himself at the very bottom of the n hierarchy.
Despite asional bouts of dejection over the past four years, Kang Shi never abandoned hismitment to cultivation. However, the recent npetition served as a breaking point. The stark contrast between his efforts and the results became unbearable for him.
At just 18 years old, Kang Shi perhaps carried the burden too heavily. The struggle weighed on him, and the pressure seemed insurmountable.
Adding to his distress, the engagement that had been arranged since his youth hung in the bnce. If he failed to impress in the recentpetition, the girl promised to him might break off the engagement and choose another suitor.
Gu Chaoyan, witnessing Kang Shi’s torment, sighed with relief when the news came that the engagement had been spared for the time being. Yet, she understood the immense emotional toll such circumstances could inflict on a young soul.
Determined to alleviate Kang Shi’s burden, she resolved to excel in the uing tasks on his behalf. Rising from the bed, she disyed newfound vigor, casting aside the disheartened demeanor.
As she opened the door, weing sunlight flooded the room. The brightness reflected in her eyes as she made a silentmitment to support Kang Shi.
He, still grappling with his emotions, squinted at the radiant sunlight streaming in, perhaps finding a glimmer of hope amid the challenges thaty ahead.
He was about to cultivate when a servant, responsible for Kang Shi’s daily needs, entered from outside.<div>
In their n, individuals’ treatment hinged on their cultivation level. Those with insufficient cultivation often found themselves without anyone to attend to their needs. Despite Kang Shi not being entitled to such services, his father, the n Leader, still provided him with a servant.@@novelbin@@
However, the servant held little regard for Kang Shi, addressing him with apathy and leavingzily after delivering the message that the n Leader requested his presence.
Unwilling to waste time with such a person, Gu Chaoyan sought out the n Leader.
From what she now understood, Kang Shi’s father, the n Leader, faced declining status within the n due to Kang Shi’s stagnant cultivation. The elders wielded significant power, and it seemed Kang Shi’s father was losing control.
Given Kang Shi’sck of progress, despite his father’s position, he was looked down upon throughout the n. Gu Chaoyan sighed in relief, realizing it was yet anotherplex situation.
She decided to approach the matter gradually.
Upon reaching the n Leader, Kang Shi was met with a worried expression. The n Leader informed him about the impending visit of the n Leader of the True Martial Race and his youngest daughter to discuss the marriage.
“The n Leader invites you in,” the indifferent servant had conveyed.
As Kang Shi stood in front of his father, the n Leader, the elder continued, “They should be talking about your marriage. As for you, perform wellter and say that you will definitely study hard and train hard. Your cultivation will definitely rise. No matter what the True Martial Race says or how they make things difficult for you, you just have to endure it.”
“We can’t cancel this marriage. If we do, we won’t have the support of the True Martial Race. Our lives in the n in the future will be even more difficult.”
“Shi’er, I’m fine, but you can’t. You’re still young. You have to have someone to rely on.”
“Do you understand? If you do, we’ll go over in a while. You’ve always performed very well in the past. Just perform as usual this year.”
