On the second month of Li Tian's physical training, the baby had already managed to complete the hidden mission. To his disappointment, the mission did not disappear. Rather, the system had converted it into a daily mission.

A little more than a decade had passed since Li Tian's first birthday. Over the years, Li Tian's life could be described in one word. Unfathomable. In the entire Li Clan, no one had not heard of the young master's feats. If it were not for the fact had placed a confidentiality jammer on everyone, many stories would've spread around Ningguo, where the Li Clan was located. Aside from the Li Clan, probably only the three other major clans had some inkling what was going on with Li Tian.
Going in chronological order, every other year, Li Tian did something inexplicably crazy for his age.
At age 2, Li Tian had become fluent in Mandarin and English (The people did not know that he was fluent in English in the first place) and was able to converse with his language teachers at an adult level.
At age 4, Li Tian had studied finished General Education in the land of Hua, which allowed him to begin his education in Strategies.
At age 6, Li Tian had the physique that rivalled the 9- and 10-year-olds in the Li Clan. He was able to beat many of them in the physical test standard set by the Li Clan.
At age 8, Li Tian shocked the entire clan when they realized that the toddler had begun cultivating. The craziest part about all of this was when they found out that he was already at the 6th level in the Qi Gathering Realm and his cultivation technique was not belonging to any of the clan's cultivation methods. This meant that without any help, he had already begun cultivating by himself.
At age 10, Li Tian's Strategies learnings had reached a point where the boy had finished studying almost every written text available in the Li Clan's arsenal. He was even invited into several battles under the tutorship of his uncle, Li Kang.
Finally, at the age of 11, turning 12, with a stronger and more stable foundation, Li Tian broke through into Qi Refinement Realm, blasting all the previously held records by geniuses in the land of Hua.
Unlike the rumours that had been going around about how Li Tian was in the 1st level of Qi Refinement Realm, Li Tian was in the peak level of Qi Refinement Realm. This was the highest point he could reach based on the cultivation instructions of the Chaos Destruction Manual. Currently, Li Tian was missing two-thirds of the manual. He wouldn't want to risk damaging his body without some guidance from the manual. After all, the four-elemental to six-elemental change had not affected much in the way Li Tian had to cultivate in the Chaos Destruction Manual. For a SSS Tier Intelligence human, such a change was more than welcome.
The key issue was that his growth was far too abnormal. From the beginning, Li Tian had requested the system to hide his cultivation level from everyone. He did reveal a little bit of his cultivation to avoid further training from the Li Clan. He wanted everyone to think that he was self-sufficient on his own.
At this age, the once chubby and cute little Li Tian had grown up to become a young and handsome lad. He had long jet-black hair, tied up in a long ponytail, eyes that exuded confidence and bursting energy. His thin, but sturdy built, in addition to his scholarly robes, made him look very educated. Even though this was the technological era, many people from the major clans still wear the traditional robes as compared to many ordinary counterparts.
This year, Li Tian finally turned 12, which was the Li Clan's official age for any child to be granted the rights to exit the Li Clan compound. Although Li Tian had left the compound many times before, they were all to head towards the Li Clan military bases so that he could get some practical experience leading an army. Now, there would be no more rules that would restrict his movement.
Only when Li Tian had reached the peak stage of Qi Refinement did the system finally stop providing him follow up missions on his physical training. To say that the system had not given him a moment to rest in the past decade was not an understatement. There were constant missions being pumped out by the system to grow his Stat attributes. Many times, he had to stay up late at night to complete the mission, for fear of losing his beloved anime.
'No more late night one-finger handstands… No more five-hour horse-stance… No more 5 km caterpillar crawls…' A shudder went down Li Tian's spine.

Over the past decade, the system had placed a strong emphasis on his Strength, Stamina, Agility stat, where every time Li Tian completed his daily mission, which got increasingly hard, he would gain 100 Exp in those three Stats. As for Perception, which was higher than the rest, grown quicker with Li Tian's Cultivation method. With a larger Qi pool than any cultivator his age (Due to his maxed tier Intelligence), Li Tian's cultivation speed needed to be faster than others or else he would fall behind. He needed to intake more Qi and run more Qi cycles concurrently. This aided in the Perception stats growth consequently.
The newly added Martial Arts Proficiency was linked to any martial style that holistically improved a martial cultivator, without the particular use of weapons. This coincided with Hua's University's Brawlers Department, where these naturalist martial cultivators believed that their body was a weapon.
With regards to Strategies and Sword Proficiency, it seemed like the system finally relented and gave Li Tian missions in Strategies, which he was more interested in, as compared to Sword proficiency, which he was only practicing for his clan's sake. Some of the missions included guiding and commanding a small platoon in the army, to which, he completed perfectly. His uncle, Li Kang, always welcomed the young child into the camp whenever he wanted to learn on the battlefield.
As promised by his grandpa, Li Tian had recently received a state-of-the-art laptop that came with the greatest specifications for his further studies in Strategical Analysis. This was what Li Tian had been looking forward towards. Unlike Li Tian, every other child was still restricted by this rule of no technology, until the ages of 16. Li Tian's plan succeeded, granting him the chance to gain a laptop four years in advance. Sadly, Li Tian was still not given a phone.
In the ten years of training, the system never once gave Li Tian another set of anime to watch. As a result, Li Tian was forced to just stick with the big three that he had received from the system. It was unfortunate, but he made do with it. He had probably watched the same animes more than ten times already. The day he received the laptop, Li Tian immediately accessed the internet and started to browse through the world's plethora of entertainment. With newfound time, Li Tian started to binge the new animes of this world.
Ever since he stopped having to go for lessons and could now 'revise' by himself using the laptop, Li Tian would lock himself up in his quarters and not come out except for meals. At dinner time today, Li Xian, Ming Guang Rong and their twins sat patiently, awaiting for their youngest to arrive. These past few days, his parents got worried, while his siblings got curious.
"Has little bro gotten himself a girlfriend on the internet or something?" Li Xi tapped his finger on the table as he guessed what his brother had been doing in his room.
"Hmm? That could be a possibility. Li Tian is at the age of 12 and may probably start to develop feelings for people of the opposite gender," Li Mei agreed with her brother. Her eyes squinted a little as she made her own devious assumption, "Or maybe of the same gender…"
