   I hope all my godparents will take a look at this book. Aside from the first chapter being a bit long-winded and setting up, the rest is truly fantastic, a fantasy with a large ensemble cast. If you don't like it, feel free to criticize me. This book is entirely handwritten; I've poured a tremendous amount of effort into it. I know hard work doesn't guarantee success, and relying on sympathy won't get you anywhere. I just want to give my work a chance. The following is an excerpt from the novel. If you like it, feel free to read it. I, Tianjiao, would like to thank all my godparents and give you all a big thank you. Content: I activated the Burning Heaven Technique, slammed my right foot into the ground, and used the momentum to lunge forward, pulling my right fist behind me. Then, like an arrow released from a bow, I slammed it towards Yin Hong's face. She didn't move. Only when my fist was less than three inches from her nose did she activate the Fire Phoenix Technique, then gently raised her right hand, palm up, her five fingers brushing against the inside of my wrist. Despite using very little force, she completely neutralized my full-force punch. At the same time, her palm pressed against the back of my fist, her fingers clenched, and with a sudden burst of force, she pushed me several meters away. "Not only is your punching speed slow, but your power is also weak. Using the Burning Heaven Technique on you is a complete waste." The words had barely left her lips when Yin Hong was already beside me, her fists and feet raining down on me like a storm. A hook punch struck my jaw, sending my head snapping back. Before the fall was even over, a low sweeping kick slammed into the back of my knee, causing my knee to buckle and I to kneel forward. The instant I fell, her knee struck me head-on. I managed to cross my arms to protect my chest, but I was still forced to roll backward several times before crashing to the ground. My vision blurred, and I tried to push myself up with my hands, but halfway there, Yin Hong swept her leg across, kicking the side of my ankle, causing me to lose my balance and fall to the ground again. Then came my back, shoulders, waist... The relentless attacks were like a storm, each strike landing precisely on the point where I could muster the strength. I turned around and unleashed the full power of the Burning Heaven Technique, frantically swinging my arms in an attempt to defend. But Yin Hong's attacks were too fast; I couldn't defend at all. When I blocked her head, she kicked me in the abdomen; when I blocked her abdomen, she punched me in the face. Soon, my vision became increasingly blurry, and I could only rely on instinct for a nearly ineffective defense. When the final, heavy hand chop struck my neck, I collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, barely alive, blood continuously flowing from my seven orifices.

    I'm shamelessly recommending this as a traditional cultivation novel. There's no reincarnation, no time travel, and no cheat codes. It's a female protagonist story; she comes from a military family and is exceptionally talented. This chosen one must diligently cultivate, as talent is merely the entry point, and what truly determines how far she goes is perseverance and hard work.
