Chapter 2545: Ice Flame Continent 2
Editor: Henyee Translations
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.
Adding to his distress, the engagement that had been arranged since his youth hung in the balance. If he failed to impress in the recent competition, the girl promised to him might break off the engagement and choose another suitor.
Gu Chaoyan, witnessing Kang Shi’s torment, sighed with relief when the news came that the engagement had been spared for the time being. Yet, she understood the immense emotional toll such circumstances could inflict on a young soul.
Determined to alleviate Kang Shi’s burden, she resolved to excel in the upcoming tasks on his behalf. Rising from the bed, she displayed newfound vigor, casting aside the disheartened demeanor.
As she opened the door, welcoming sunlight flooded the room. The brightness reflected in her eyes as she made a silent commitment to support Kang Shi.
He, still grappling with his emotions, squinted at the radiant sunlight streaming in, perhaps finding a glimmer of hope amid the challenges that lay ahead.
He was about to cultivate when a servant, responsible for Kang Shi’s daily needs, entered from outside.
In their clan, individuals’ treatment hinged on their cultivation level. Those with insufficient cultivation often found themselves without anyone to attend to their needs. Despite Kang Shi not being entitled to such services, his father, the Clan Leader, still provided him with a servant.
However, the servant held little regard for Kang Shi, addressing him with apathy and leaving lazily after delivering the message that the Clan Leader requested his presence.
Unwilling to waste time with such a person, Gu Chaoyan sought out the Clan Leader.
From what she now understood, Kang Shi’s father, the Clan Leader, faced declining status within the clan due to Kang Shi’s stagnant cultivation. The elders wielded significant power, and it seemed Kang Shi’s father was losing control.
Given Kang Shi’s lack of progress, despite his father’s position, he was looked down upon throughout the clan. Gu Chaoyan sighed in relief, realizing it was yet another complex situation.
She decided to approach the matter gradually.
Upon reaching the Clan Leader, Kang Shi was met with a worried expression. The Clan Leader informed him about the impending visit of the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race and his youngest daughter to discuss the marriage.
“The Clan Leader invites you in,” the indifferent servant had conveyed.
As Kang Shi stood in front of his father, the Clan Leader, the elder continued, “They should be talking about your marriage. As for you, perform well later and say that you will definitely study hard and train hard. Your cultivation will definitely rise. No matter what the True Martial Race says or how they make things difficult for you, you just have to endure it.”
“We can’t cancel this marriage. If we do, we won’t have the support of the True Martial Race. Our lives in the clan in the future will be even more difficult.”
“Shi’er, I’m fine, but you can’t. You’re still young. You have to have someone to rely on.”
“Do you understand? If you do, we’ll go over in a while. You’ve always performed very well in the past. Just perform as usual this year.”
