Chen,The undiscovered genius

Liang Chen stood before the imposing figure clad in green attire,scales glinting like jade down hid neck,my name is Liang Chen,allow me to take the entry examination ",Liang Chen asked,his small voice trembling slightly.

Shen Yu's gaze pierced through Liang Chen,his expression unyielding,"your innate spiritual energy is low,child,This won't be enough to access the Medusa tower,Try next time "

Liang Chen's eyes dropped,his petite body sagging as he bowed his head,then turned to leave,his footsteps echoing in the silent room,a hint of despair trailing behind him.

Shen yu gazed at the small boy,Liang Chen and nodded thoughtfully,"such persistence,too bad,he can't enter the poisonous blood pool?"

A man seated on a wooden chair adorned with intricate curvings that shimmered in the crystal light stood up and addressed shen yu,"hmm,he stretched his body,"that is the last participant of the day,I can't believe we failed to get a formidable apprentice to train, your highness will be furious about this!"

Shen yu nodded sympathetically,"Hey, don't worry,I am sure she will understand the situation our clan is facing,We can't afford to be selective in these desperate times!"

Liang Chen emerged from the towering pagoda,his eyes fixed on the imposing structure as he spoke with determination,"failed to enter you fully,but I promise,one day,I will definitely become a man worthy of honor...I won't let my mother's dreams go to waste."

As he gazed up at the night sky,a vision materialized before him,a beautiful woman whose face shone like the stars,her features radiant and ethereal,her presence was fleeting,Yet it left a indelible mark on Liang Chen's heart.

Liang Chen descended the stairs passing by a towering statue of a half human, half serpent woman cradling a pot, eternally pouring water that shone like starlight into the void,He stepped into the streets,where magical light crystals cast an eerie glow, struggling to pierce the darkness.

Liang Chen walked with his head bowed ,his eyes fixed on the ground,his mind consumed by sorrow and disappointment,The weight of his failure in the entry test hung heavy on his shoulders.

As Liang Chen walked,a group of troublesome kids emerged from the shadows, blocking his path,bam,he collided with them, Liang Chen looked up and he gaze met some awkwardly dressed kids.

"Hey, Liang Chen,we saw you were the last to be test...or should I say,the last to fail",they jeered in unison,their laughter echoing through the once quiet streets.

Liang Chen his voice trembling with anger shot back,"Ah, atleast I have spiritual energy in my body,Look at you all,he pointed a finger angry,"look at you,you have none..."

The boys' expressions darkened, their fists clenched, ready to strike,in that moment,they pushed Liang Chen to the ground, landing with a splat in the mud."haha,look at you,you are when you deserve,just like your worthless family....in the mud!",the boys laughed, pointing their fingers at Liang Chen,their mockery piercing the air.

Liang Chen strained to extract himself from the mud,his hands slipping as he struggled to find traction,just as he managed to stand,one of the boys with blonde hair sneered and kicked him Back to the mire.

Liang Chen's ands flew up to his face,but it was too late,mud splattered across his cheeks, sticking to his skin like a damp shroud,He touched his face, feeling the cool,gloopy texture of the mud.

The boys jeers still lingered in the air as they departed, leaving Liang Chen to confront the deepest shame of his life,"Haha, insensible Liang family,all of you are just weaklings!,their mocking voices echoed,""Look at him, wallowing in the mud like the illegitimate child he is.",the boy with blonde hair pointed a scornful finger at Liang Chen before they vanished into the night.

Crushed, Liang Chen remained in the mud for what felt like an eternity,his tears falling line autumn rain,but as the minutes tickled by,he slowly came back to himself, realizing the lateness of the hour,that is when he saw her,a gentle soul with a compassionate smile,her hand extended towards him like a lifeline.

Liang Chen's gaze net hers,and he grasped it firmly.

The girl's face,a picture of pity and kindness drew closer as she pulled Liang Chen towards her,in that moment,his face almost nestled in the softness of her chest,a haven of warmth and comfort,her eyes shining like stars on a clear night.

Yun cheeks flushes with embarrassment s h quickly withdrew, pushing Liang Chen back in the mud,"Oh,Liang Chen,I am sorry,she extended her figure towards him,"I didn't mean to...Her voice trailed off as she suddenly turned away,her shyness evident.

Liang Chen emerged from the mud ,a wry smile on his face,"No need to apologize,he wiped mud from his clothing,"you are not like those other kids,you are kind....." But Yun ting's expression turned fiery as she spin around,"Are you kidding me, Liang Chen?you just let those jerks walk all over you, don't you ever get tired of being their doormat?"her voice arose with a mix of frustration and concern etched on her face.

Yun ting's fists clenched in indignation,"Those idiots,how dare they bully you,just wait until my heel lands in them,I will leave marks on their faces that will last a lifetime."

Liang Chen still wiping mud from his hands, gently touched yun ting's arm to calm her down,"don't worry,Yun I,one day,I will rise to the skies and become an everlasting star", Liang Chen said,his eyes gleaming with determination.

Yun ting turned around,her expression softening with a sigh,"hmmm,I can't wait for that day.But did you pass the entry examination?",she asked, already knowing the answer.

Liang Chen's face darkened,and Yun ting didn't press further, instead,she patted his shoulder gently,"Don't worry,shen yu and his comrades may not see your genius,but I do,my cutie pie",Yun ting said with a warm smile.

She pinched Liang Chen's cheeks playfully, making him yelp in Surprise,"ouch that hurts!"

"Don't bother about it",yun ting said,her voice gentle as she took hold of Liang Chen's hand,a soft smile spreading across her face as Liang Chen's eyes met hers,her eyelids fluttered softly.
