林凡今天的心情，糟透了。

iving in a small, ordinary sect, he was naturally an ordinary kid. The only thing more ordinary than him was the sect's reputation, which was the butt of jokes in nearby areas. Their only claim to fame was a slightly older-than-average sect master who hadn't made any groundbreaking achievements in decades.

Despite the sect's mediocrity, the expectations placed on its members were sky-high. Every single child had to practice the sect's core cultivation technique, the "Azure Dragon Transformations." It was supposed to be a powerful, awe-inspiring method, but for林凡, it was a living nightmare.

The first time he tried practicing it, he felt like a fool. His internal energy barely moved, and the movements he made felt as clumsy as a dog trying to walk on its hind legs. The other kids, all of them gifted or at least normal, progressed rapidly. Within months, some could already sense the faintest hints of cultivation, while林凡 was still struggling to remember the basic stances.
