The courtyard of Xuanling Sect basked in the golden glow of late morning. The first three disciples—Ling Wei, Yien, and the third disciple—trained under the watchful eyes of their Immortal Teachers: Cosmic Tortoise, Sword Sovereign, and Nine-Tailed Fox.
Xuán Wèi, invisible to all but himself, glanced at the system panel. A sharp pulse caught his attention.
[Potential Disciple Detected – Golden Talent]
Name: Tian Xu

A slow smile curved Xuán Wèi's lips. Ah… the final Level 1 disciple. Perfectly rare… and the right teacher will unlock their true potential.
Arrival of Tian Xu
Through the misted sect gates stepped Tian Xu, a figure whose presence seemed to bend the air. Broad-shouldered yet graceful, his movements radiated natural strength and calm authority. His piercing eyes glimmered with intelligence, as if the universe itself whispered secrets to him.
Xuán Wèi's voice rang clear across the courtyard. "Tian Xu, your body and fate are unlike any in history. Xuanling Sect calls you. Will you pledge your strength and loyalty?"
Tian Xu's eyes narrowed. "And if I refuse?"
Xuán Wèi's lips curved faintly. "Refusal would waste gifts even the heavens envy. Here, your potential will be refined and amplified. Accept, and become a true pillar of Xuanling Sect."
After a moment, Tian Xu bowed. "I accept."

MC's Subtle Guidance
Appearing invisibly beside Tian Xu, Xuán Wèi whispered, "Your body is exceptional, but talent alone cannot carry you. The Celestial Crane will sharpen your mind, precision, and Dao. Trust your teacher… or face humiliation."
Tian Xu smirked, his pride unshaken. Humiliation? I welcome it. I will rise above.
