In the world of the heavens, there are an elite few in history who transcend the word "genius." They rise through the ranks of cultivation with unparalleled speed, perform feats that defy common sense on a regular basis, and generally educate all who cross their path on just what it means for the difference between two cultivators to be as the difference between heaven and earth.

This…is NOT their story.

Xu Zuhui has never been considered a genius, or particularly talented, though no one would call him a failure either—no small feat in the cutthroat world of VRMMOs, the dominant form of entertainment on a dying Earth. Indeed, he is one of the lucky few to escape the terrible, ruined real world by uploading to a persistent virtual world based on the world of Cultivation.

But though his new body and new life comes with substantial perks, he will soon discover there are substantial risks as well. He’s far from the only strong talent in this new world, and few such people are happy to welcome more into their ranks. In what was supposed to be a virtual world, Xu Zuhui will soon find that the stakes he’s fighting for are very real…and he’ll have to become very strong indeed to survive the events the real hero of this world will inevitably drag him into.

Okay, let's do this." Chen Huan took a deep breath. "The forming of a Sacred Beast pact is a bit more formal and particular than some. Let's go inside, and I'll teach you the recitation."

Once we were in private, it only took a few minutes to go over the recitation of the oath between Sacred Beast and champion. "Okay, one last thing…I have to assume my true form for the oath."

So, I got my second look at Chen Huan's real body. Compared to last time, I could look at him more properly, and he did give me the impression now of being quite young. Chen Huan reared up his head. "All right…I'm gonna say it!

"I, Chen Huan of the Sunscale Serpent Sacred Beasts, swear to serve and obey the one I have chosen to become a Champion of Snake of the Zodiacs. My strength and my knowledge will be theirs to use, as I support their steps on the path to the Supreme Heaven."
