When Tao Linlin was a child, he showcased extraordinary talent, boasting a prodigious innate inner spiritual power of 80. For him, raised in a small city, he already stood as the top-of-the-line. This was also his proudest time. In their little town, he was always the best of his peers, ranking first in all professions within the school.
He scored the highest and became the first student from their small town to be admitted to the Spirit Furnace Academy in the past hundred years. He still clearly remembers the day he left the small town. Many people, both those he knew and didn't know, came to bid him farewell. Many even gave money to his parents, wishing him to do his best and bring honor to the town. It was then that he determined he would strive hard to become a true powerhouse.
With staunch faith and determination, he held his head high when he arrived at Spirit Furnace Academy, becoming a member. But on the very first day he set foot in the academy, he was dealt a heavy blow.
