Eh, what number am I up to now?
When Wen Zhihao woke up, he found that his breathing was still even, qi flowing in and out like the waves on the beach.
Knock knock knock! “Disciple, get up!”
Wen Zhihao startled, his heart rate beating faster in an ingrained reaction to commands.
…Wait, why did he have to listen anyway? Wen Zhihao released a stressed breath. He got up, placed everything in his spatial storage, and sedately opened the door.
Zhang Wu was an Early Stage Golden Core cultivator, dressed in the golden inner disciple robes. His face was dark with annoyance, eyes flicking with distaste over Wen Zhihao’s rumpled appearance. “It’s time for morning sword practice. Don’t delay it for everyone else!”

The thought of swinging a sword and doing exercise made Wen Zhihao feel tired. “What if I want to become a talisman cultivator instead?”

Zhang Wu’s face went from annoyance to anger. “Stop making excuses! Shidi, get out this minute! Are you looking down on the Sect??”
The qi around Zhang Wu fluctuated like sharp pinpricks.
Wen Zhihao grimaced a little. “Okay, okay, stop yelling.” I’ll indulge you, he thought to himself. While Zhang Wu looked like he was Wen Zhihao’s age, maybe the ancient times made people angrier and more juvenile?
“Good!” Zhang Wu said, even angrier. He turned on his foot and walked quickly. Stomped, really. Wen Zhihao followed him, mildly wondering if Zhang Wu would go into that infamous qi deviation due to his anger. Or maybe it was simply Zhang Wu’s nature, rather than a heart demon.
The outer sect disciples’ sword training area was near the outer parts of the Golden Sun Sect, relatively near the Outer Battlegrounds. The field itself was a large paved square, flanked on the sides with buildings. Dull-yellow robed disciples stood in neat lines, swords in their hands, and many of them looked with unfavourable expressions at Wen Zhihao. None of this made Wen Zhihao more inclined to the idea of sword practice.
“Get into line!” Zhang Wu said.
Ah, crap. “Eh, shixiong, I forgot my sword,” Wen Zhihao realised. He forgot to pick it up when he lost that fight during the Intra-Sect Competition.
Zhang Wu’s eyes went red with anger. “You forgot your sword? What kind of cultivator are you???”
“…I left it at the Battlegrounds, I’ll return quickly.”
Zhang Wu’s eye twitched. “Hurry up!”
Respectful of Zhang Wu’s inner peace, Wen Zhihao walked quickly to the Outer Battlegrounds. There was an inner sect disciple named Qian Jiarui in charge of things, and when she heard about Wen Zhihao’s forgotten sword, her face took on a distasteful expression.
“Yes, I know exactly where your sword is. You, out of the hundreds of outer sect disciples, was the only one to forget their sword.”
Wen Zhihao gave a sheepish smile. “This junior disciple has bothered you.”
The inner sect disciple passed him back his sword, and he headed back to the training field.
Zhang Wu had already started everyone on the basic forms. From the glare across the field, Wen Zhihao got the message. He went to stand at the back and got into position.
Wen Zhihao: Kids (Zhang Wu) these days are so strung up. Better not stress them out, it’ll be bad for their development ╮( ˘_˘ )╭
Yeah, kids these days😐
thanks for the chapter~
old man Wen Zhihao shaking his head at the kids…Well, at least he doesn’t yell at them~
He is indeed very generous 🤣
Wen Zhihao is great ^_^
yes, yes a very good parent who knows the right way of a child’s upbringing, patient and kindness is key as they say ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Wen Zhihao is very up to date~
Wen Zhihao is so relatable 🤣🤣
😆😆 thanks!
Kids these days-
Man, Wen Zhihao, I might start calling you old man ah- >->
🤭🤭🤭🤭 He definitely feels like an old man.
Many people said you’ll get old faster if you often get angry and snapped up like that ┐(´ー`)┌
Thank you for the chapter!❤️
TRUE!!! Awww, a missed opportunity for Wen Zhihao to say that XD
Exercise… Even the word gives me a rejection feeling.
😅 agreed….
Agreed! It just requires so much effort…
Kkkkk forgot the sword for practicing sword! I relate! Kkkk once forgot the medical pass going to the clinic kkkkk
This is the first original novel I’ve read on this site, and I think I actually like it…….shocked
Yay!!!!
For someone who is very lazy, intensive exercise (probably sword practice) makes me super uncomfortable and miserable. If I was in that world I wouldn’t even have the energy to feel anger.
*gives you hugs *
*Hugs bafflinghaze back *
Even walking so so tough 👁️👄👁️ I wanna lay down like a salted fish the whole day. Specially now that it’s summer time.
omg yess I love napping when it’s summer (and I like staying in warm bed in winter….)
The way of the salted fishes 👉😗👈
I hate moving around so much I almost failed my PE classes
If I’m not wrong after the Nascent Soul stage in cultivation, it should be Divine, demi god and then immortal? I’ve seen many with these stages so I assume it is too if not, well whatever, we’ll find out soon
ooh those are good stages too.
lmao, old man wen zhihao has returned. Thanks for the chapter
Old Man Wen never left in his heart 🤭🤭
Wen Zhihao is forced to train with a sword. Ay, the talismans would really have been better for his occupation as salted fish. 😅
I wonder how the original Wen Zhihao acted for them to dislike him this much?
oh, Zhang Wu? Zhang Wu is just an angry baby XD
Thank you for the chapter 😊
Kids these days I swear 乁 ˘ o ˘ ㄏ
Hahahaha
Yes… Definitely my kind of MC 😄❤️
I’m glad you like Wen Zhihao 😆😆😆
Thank you for another chapter!
Thank you for reading 🥰🥰
