Lin Yuan hates one thing more than anything: coming in second.
He was born into an ordinary cultivation family. His talent wasn't bad, but he was never a true prodigy either. Others had better spirit roots, more pills, and stronger masters. It seemed all he could do was practice a little more than everyone else, then practice a little more again.
But hard work couldn't make the gap simply disappear.
At the family tournament, he gave it everything he had and still came in second.
Over time, Lin Yuan gradually realized that he seemed to have a talent that wasn't quite a talent: once he truly learned something, he rarely forgot it, and once he had truly learned a lesson the hard way, he rarely made the same mistake twice.
If one failure wasn't enough, then ten.
If he couldn't catch up in a year, then ten years.
From a small family to a sect, a province, a kingdom, and then the vast cultivation world beyond...
Lin Yuan kept encountering people who shone brighter than he did, and kept chasing after them.
He wasn't the fastest.
But he wanted to know just how far he could go.
It feels more like a martial arts novel than a fairy tale, and the fighting is very detailed.
Not bad, innovative
