It's interesting to see a character with a cultivation "disability" that is not hated or berated. The MC is simply seen as a talented youth with an issue, but not one that can't be overcome. I enjoy characters seeing his talent and hard work and valuing him even though he is behind others. I'm 60 chapters in and have not lost my suspension of disbelief.

I highly recommend this novel as it's quite a gem. The translator/s also did well translating the novel. Thank you! The protagonist of the novel is Li Yuan, a talented and hardworking young man who tries to get into a top school without 'awakening' a martial arts spirituality. Spirituality is quite important as it allows you to get more resources like a higher cultivation manual that allows you to cultivate faster. Awakening a spirituality also gives you extra points on the college examination, so it's a big deal. Students who have awakened spirituality are placed in the elite class, while the others are in the ordinary class. Li Yuan, in his third year of high school, didn't manage to awaken his spirituality despite his talent, so he worked harder and met people who can be considered to be his Bole. It's blood boiling to see how Li Yuan, a person who didn't awaken his spirituality, gradually rises to the top. He's also from an ordinary family, so they struggle to provide for his cultivation resources. Of course, he doesn't immediately get strong and become the number one among his generation. It's a gradual process. There's a lot of characters appearing here and there. Most of them don't just fade off the background, having a presence from time to time. I actually didn't expect to cry two times for a side character as I got attached to them, too. Overall, it's a novel worth reading to. Give it a chance, you might like it.

I can only recommend this Novel. It is really good.

Amazing novel. World background is nothing new. The cliche alien invasion, rise of martial arts etc. What's not cliche is that unlike those typical novels, there are no arrogant young masters, shameless mc, scheming villains,... The highlight of the novel is its characters. Iam, generally a person who does not care much about other characters which is not mc. But after reading this novel, the character portrayed in it are my favorites. mc's uncle who is weak, typically i would hate these kind of characters who would only drag down and become a burden to the main character. But here i have nothing but admiration towards the character. even though weak, the uncle character really helps in shaping the character and heart of the mc, which really helps him. He doesn't depend on any one. These type side character in this novel, aside from uncle, there was also a school teacher who lied to a poor student that he won scholarship but actually was paying from her own pockets, then there is also tantai feng, which is one of my favourite characters. The next noteworthy part is character development, which was well thought and nicely executed. mc doesn't directly start as op, and he doesn't have a cheat which can make him strong overnight. He becomes op because his own talent and hardwork. The things iam not fan of is patriotism and racism. This novel strongly shows patriotism and self sacrificing mentality. But in the particular world background it is necessary. so it's not forced or unnecessary. The only minus point is racism. I don't quite understand why all Chinese people hate Japan so much. Although it was only shown in one tournament arc, it negatively affected my reading experience. So overall a 4.8 ⭐

I have only read 32 chapters, but the novel is promising. Reminds me of good ol World's Best Martial Artist vibes somewhat. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

Love it so far. Anyone knows where to read the MTL?

I don’t usually leave reviews but is a good book not to fast or slow
