In the realm of the Three Heavens (三天 - Sān Tiān), where powerful clans dominate the land, a young boy named Raiko (雷光 - Léi Guāng) is born with an extraordinary gift: two powers, a rarity in the world of cultivation. His right-hand power is the most coveted, a forbidden force that can potentially revive his long-lost clan. Yet, this power comes with a heavy burden his father, a once-powerful leader, instructs him to hide this power until he reaches the level of Immortal Gods (神灵 - Shén Líng).

Living under the constant shadow of his lineage, Raiko is forced to conceal his true abilities, blending in with the other children who have only one power. He is enrolled in Mist Dragon Academy (雾龙学院 - Wù Lóng Xué Yuàn), a martial arts academy for outcasts, where he hides his strength and pretends to be weak. The academy is filled with individuals who, much like him, possess their own secrets, and it’s here that Raiko will discover his true path.

As Raiko trains secretly, he makes friends who are unaware of his hidden potential, including Li Xin (李欣 - Lǐ Xīn), a strong-willed girl who is a rising star within the academy, and Zhang Tian (张天 - Zhāng Tiān), his most loyal friend. But the academy is only a stepping stone on his journey. The world beyond is filled with power struggles, ancient secrets, and legendary treasures that could alter the balance of the realms.

Raiko sat in the dimly lit dormitory of Azure Sky Academy, staring at his right hand. His fingers trembled slightly, as if the power within them was restless, eager to be unleashed. But he couldn't not yet.

The words of his father echoed in his mind:

"The world does not understand power like ours. If they see it, they will fear it. And fear leads to destruction."

A knock at the door broke his thoughts.

It was Lian Mei, her voice sharp yet controlled.

Raiko sighed, pulling himself up. "Come in."

The door creaked open, and Lian Mei stepped inside, her violet eyes scanning the small room. She leaned against the wall, arms crossed.

"What happened last night?" she asked.

Raiko hesitated. He knew exactly what she meant his fight with Bai Zhen.

"Nothing special," he said, looking away. "Just a normal sparring match."

Lian Mei's expression darkened. "Don't lie to me. I was watching."

Raiko's jaw tightened. He should've known she'd be observing. Lian Mei wasn't just any student; she was one of the sharpest minds in the academy.

She took a step closer. "You're hiding something."

But then, she said something that sent a chill down his spine.

"…You fight like someone who's suppressing their own strength."

Raiko forced a smirk. "And what if I am?"

Lian Mei studied him carefully. "Then you're either very smart… or very stupid."

He chuckled. "I'll take that as a compliment."

She shook her head. "Be careful, Raiko. If the wrong people notice, they won't let you stay in the School of Losers. They'll drag you into something bigger."

Raiko's expression darkened. He already knew that. The world wasn't kind to those who had power.

And he wasn't ready to reveal just how much power he truly had.

Later that evening, as Raiko walked through the training grounds, he felt a presence behind him.

"You fought well yesterday," a voice said.

Raiko turned to see Wu Jiang, a senior student known for his brutal combat style. Unlike Bai Zhen, Wu Jiang wasn't the kind to fight for fun he fought to dominate.

Wu Jiang smirked. "And I'd like to see it for myself."

Raiko's muscles tensed. Another fight? He had just finished dealing with Bai Zhen.

"I'm not interested," he said, walking past him.

But Wu Jiang wasn't the type to take 'no' for an answer.

He stepped in front of Raiko, blocking his path. "I wasn't asking."

Raiko sighed. He could already see where this was going.

The other students started gathering, sensing a fight about to break out.

Lian Mei stood in the distance, shaking her head.

But as Wu Jiang's crimson aura flared, Raiko knew he might not have a choice.
