-Chapter 1~Just the Beginning-

My name is Ryu Snowsui.

I'm considered a rare talent in the Snowsui Family. I was already at the peak of Earth cultivation at the age of five. As I said, I'm part of the Snowsui family. One of the many families, famously known as the top ten families in the kingdom of Xian Fang.

Even though we are from a great family, we are only a part of the branch family. Because of this, we are poor. Making it difficult to cultivate and breakthrough. Not to mention that we also are usually beaten for being “weak”. Even though we hide our levels to seem as weak as possible. This is because even though we are part of a branch family, we managed to cultivate higher and higher due to the family's’ determination over the years. But we hide them so we won't get picked to join the army, making sure every family won't die on the battlefield.

At the age of eight, I was in an accident. This accident almost got me drowned in the Moonlit Pool. For clarification purposes, the Moonlit Pool is a very dangerous lake. It's infamous for its high spirit pressures, terrifying creatures, and its depth, just to set the scene of how deep it is, it could literally crush you; mind, body, and soul.

Now at the time, I was being bullied, but what was different from this time to all the others was the fact that they just pushed me into the waters of this lake. Once I fell in, the darkness swallowed me hole. And had no idea what happened afterwards.

Later, I was informed that the water had broken a couple of my bones, but the worst part was that it crushed my meridians. Having been a rare talent, I managed to get to the third rank of Cloud Spirit before the accident. Because of this, the branch family helped me regain my physical strength back. However, my martial arts wouldn't go up. They said it was due to the meridians. Eventually, I went to the Spirituality Divine Docter, who said that I could never be healed from the injury. Lucky, there was a form of martial arts that didn't need the meridians, External Strength.

So every day since then, I've been training so that I could prove that doctor wrong. “I will become the strongest out of the family, then the world; Alive or deceased. Whatever it takes.” I say huffing with determination. However, that's easier said than done, so I picked up a sword.

-End of Chapter one-

P.s. I also want to thank my good friend Logan for helping me with this novel.

And also if u wanna know what kind of training Ryu is doing, its hand-to-hand combat and various kicks. So real martial arts... Aka self-defense for now. So hand-to-hand combat + meditation = External Strength
