The blazing sun rose high in the early morning, casting its light upon the vast lands below.
In a verdant and dense mountain forest, the sun was slightly dimmed, and the air was tinged with coolness.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
In the thick forest, a young figure dressed in blue was running. His steps were steady and his body was like a monkey’s, extremely flexible.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, the young man’s figure stopped. He clapped his palm at an old tree in front of him.
“Roar!”
From his palm, a faint sound like a dragon’s groan seemed to ring out.
“Bang!”
The next moment, the young man’s palm hit the thick tree trunk. The two collided, and a loud cry immediately sounded.
Rustle!
Many leaves fell from the ancient tree as it shook. A distinct palm print was left on the old bark.
The young man looked and saw that only a shallow handprint was left. His delicate face could not help but grow bitter.
“This Moving Dragon Palm is the lowest level of low-grade martial arts, but even after cultivating for three whole months, I still can’t gain insight regarding its essence.”
“My aptitude is really such rubbish. It’s been a year since I came to the Lin Clan Sect Residence as a main division disciple, but my martial arts is still at the first tier. I haven’t made any progress at all. It’s no wonder I can’t understand martial arts.
“But I’ve worked so hard to enter the main division from the subdivision. Do I really have no way of fighting back against the humiliation and the snide looks from the main division disciples have been giving me this past year?”

The young man clenched his fists. His eyes shone brightly with a hint of unwillingness, but also with a hint of helplessness.
The young man in blue was called Lin Han.
He was originally a subdivision disciple from the influential Lin Clan Sect Residence not far from the mountain range.
However, because of an opportunity that arose, Lin Han and his childhood friend Lin Meier came to the main division, where the Lin Clan was the most powerful.
Lin Han had thought that if he came to the main division of the Lin Clan Sect Residence, he would achieve great success and become an admirable powerful warrior that stood over others.
However, reality was cruel. It had been a year since he came to the main division of the Lin Clan Sect Residence.
A whole year!
Lin Han was unable to break through the most basic first tier of martial arts. Moreover, his insight towards martial arts was extremely poor.
He was indeed the ‘trash heap’ and ’embodiment of mediocrity’ that the other main division disciples called him.
Lin Han had been depressed for half a year prior to this.
However, six months ago, Lin Han found out that his childhood friend, Lin Meier, who he used to be extremely close with, had suddenly started to alienate him and mingled with a certain genius disciple from the main division.

Since then, every time Lin Meier saw him, her eyes would be full of disdain and disgust. For some reason, it gave birth to a deep feeling of unwillingness in Lin Han’s heart.

So, he pulled himself out of his depression. He wanted to prove himself worthy by cultivating hard.
However, even after half a year, he had not made any progress with his martial arts cultivation. It was as if he was stuck in the first tier. It made Lin Han’s heart fall into despair.
Despite that, he insisted on training his mind and body in the mountains every day, fighting with wild beasts.
