Since the age of 14, Kang Shi had found himself stuck at the Sixth Heaven of the Martial Warrior Realm. Despite relentless efforts, his attempts at cultivation proved futile, with his progress seemingly evaporating into thin air. The stagnation persisted, and as he reached the age of 18, four years had elapsed.
Among his peers in the clan, who were of similar age, even those with supposedly inferior aptitude had surpassed him in strength. Kang Shi, once considered a young genius, now found himself at the very bottom of the clan hierarchy.
Despite occasional bouts of dejection over the past four years, Kang Shi never abandoned his commitment to cultivation. However, the recent clan competition served as a breaking point. The stark contrast between his efforts and the results became unbearable for him.
At just 18 years old, Kang Shi perhaps carried the burden too heavily. The struggle weighed on him, and the pressure seemed insurmountable.
