Pain.
Another Unfamiliar Room.
A Bloodstained Floor.
His Arm Missing.
--------------------------------------
He noticed an obstruction on his leg when he bolted up but ignoring that, he was sweating from the agony of a dream, the pain just felt too real. A slight pain was felt in his arm when he was fully awake, only he ignored it. Faint lines were trailing down from his shoulder blade to his inner arm - an image that looked like a tribal tattoo in the form of a vicious dagger with deep curves and emanating an slight, but undetectable aura of bloodlust.
He was lying on what could be described as a hospital bed, just the mattress had been replaced with a jelly type substance which would help speed up one’s recovery. Seeing the calendar on the wall, Satsui knew had been out for three days, with his body unexpectedly gaining benefits that not even Satsui could understand. Even without thinking about anything, he immediately noticed that there were massive changes. He could feel other people's auras. This, normally would be impossible for him. His cultivation was much too low to detect the people in the school after all.
The principle of sensing someone's aura was that the practitioner trying to sense someone would have to be on the same rank and stage, or even above to perceive that person's aura. Considering his cultivation was below even an “average Lìliàng Practitioner”, he failed to perceive every person's aura, even if he tried.
His head had become a walking library Previously he had only read up to the Advanced stages of support spell books, but he could immediately perceive incantations which were among the Advanced stage which he hadn’t memorised. His mind was like a mini encyclopedia of spells, fighting styles and even weapons.
Being shocked at his own miraculous changes, he forgot to inspect the obstruction on him. It was a girl around his age. Her deep red hair was laid along her shoulder and was laid along the side of the bed. About C cup and about 5’6, only 2-3 inches smaller then Satsui himself.
She was Li Hui, and the reason that she was labelled as a genius was due to her getting past the bottleneck of Lìliàng Realm when she was only 14. The future prospects would be immeasurable of such a person if she could continue breaking through.
Practitioners would cultivate by bringing their essence through the twelve standard meridians. This would help train the body and Qi. Due to the special body that Satsui had, he was unable to cultivate that and was basically doomed to stay at the lowest level forever as his “Crimson Palace”*(1) was unable to produce enough essence for him to send it through his meridians.
Sending the “essence” throughout one’s body would slowly convert it into qi, and once it had done a full loop around the body following all 12 meridians it would be stored in a separate “pocket” of the Crimson Palace. When the practitioner had fully refined his essence into Qi and been enlightened by the heavens, would they finally be able to step into the Jīng Realm.*(2)
Many normal people failed to break past the Lìliàng Realm Saint Rank, as they failed to cultivate their essence fully and/or could not gain enlightenment. This was why there was so many adult Lìliàng Realm Saints around, and many struggled to advance past Lìliàng.
The average rank of a 30 year old was a Jīng Realm Warrior, due to the many people who had gotten stuck at Lìliàng Saint or Jīng Practitioner. Li Hui however had gotten past the Lìliàng Stage and had enlightment at the age of 14, and her power towered far past the average practitioners.
The ranks of the Taifu Continent had Five different stages, with Five Ranks.
Lìliàng Realm Practitioner - Stage 1 Rank One
Lìliàng Realm True Practitioner - Stage 1 Rank Two
Lìliàng Realm Warrior - Stage 1 Rank Three
Lìliàng Realm Emperor/Empress - Stage 1 Rank Four
Lìliàng Realm Saint - Stage 1 Rank Five

Past the Lìliàng Realm Would be the Jīng Realm
Jīng Realm Practitioner … - Stage 2 Rank One
Jīng Realm Warrior … - Stage 2 Rank Three
Jīng Realm Deity … - Stage 2 Rank Five
(et cetera)
The only differences between realms would be the fifth rank, with them changing as they go further up.
The realms were Lìliàng, Jīng, Jīng Shén, Chi and Xiàng.
The Different Rank Fives in order are Saint, Deity, Demigod, God, and Highgod.

The girl on his leg had stirred, probably due to the jolted movements from Satsui. She was a mysterious girl who some believed to have a powerful backing. She would avoid anyone and everyone when possible, even her family. She seemed to have stuck to Satsui at the start of the first school year school though, regardless of his inability to train.
This alone wouldn’t be a problem, if she didn’t avoid every other person than her family or Satsui.
Her temperament was different from others to begin with too, as she didn’t mind protecting him. Weak failure, and spoiled by the genius.
She was only “interested” in Satsui.
Many of the insults which were thrown at Satsui when he was probably about the two being together most of the time. Whether she was an opportunist or was interested in him for whatever reason, it evidently wasn’t due to the clan.
“Failure” and Genius
Only this was no longer the “Zhuque” Satsui of the past.
A New Person.
Someone who wouldn’t give up.
> Author Wrote: I'm BACK! *who actually cares though*
> Enjoy the chapter which has been edited for like a week bit by bit
>
> *(1) - Crimson Palace - For anyone who reads wuxia / xianxia novels it’s the dantian in the heart
> Using this i’m only going to be emphasizing the use of the middle dantian, and it’ll just do everything the others do.
>
> *(2) - for people versed in Chinese stuff wuxia/xianxia / or are Chinese they probably know Essence is 精 (Jīng) which might confuse them. I’m literally just writing it out randomly, with no explicit detail towards Chinese culture. I just wanted to try to write a book, and I for some reason liked the idea of writing a Xianxia. So, for anyone who actually does truly understand this and is confused by me, I’m sorry. If i know about what I’m writing and i change it, I will do one of these to say though.

> I can't really be bothered to go through it at the moment and will check it sometime else though, unless someone points out a problem. Last week of School holiday anyway, so I'll go and do the homework I've procrastinated.
