Chapter 264: Of course there's a prodigal killer

The Zhen Clan was famous for being the foremost "hero forge" of the Pearl Scale Empire, their modus operandi being able to turn even the greatest of wimps into the fiercest of warriors.

However, even miracle factories could produce something beyond their usual products.

Enter Zhen Wang, a prodigy warrior from Zhen Shi's generation.

Born with a crazy high amount of aether of the highest quality, the Zhen Clan masters knew that they had to carefully cultivate this young sprout into their fiercest warrior yet.

They...mostly succeeded.

At the tender age of fifteen, he broke through to the Aether Master stage on sheer talent alone.

At the age of twenty, he entered the Grandmaster stage and was allowed into the inner circle of the Zhen Clan and became a disciple of the famed Zhen Ancestor, an Aether Overlord of great renown.
