High Grade Spirit Roots are not cabbages.
That was my previous belief. Each one of them is guaranteed to reach the Void Refinent Realm given proper training.
Void Refinent Realms are isolated within the worlds’ cause and effect. They will survive everywhere they are placed into as they could convert anything to spiritual qi. Their powers affect dozens of galaxies, scaling as far as a huge fraction of the universe at once!
Even in higher dinsions, they are absolute units. Their “isolated” karma makes it possible for them to jump out of “ti”, revive the deceased, and affect the past and present without repercussions.
Simply put, their powers are unimaginable. Yet, seven of them appeared on Earth.
I have a strong feeling. This world has way more talented people than the ones on other cultivation worlds. Only, their potentials are buried due to the fact they couldn’t co in contact with immortal cultivation.
These people are forced to do a warrior build when their godly talents are suited to the mage build.
“You can’t do it yourself.”
I did not forget to reply to i’s alter ego.
{“What do you an I can’t?!”}
“Practicing is up to i. As long as she becos stronger, you can withstand more honkai energy.”
{“This is frustrating!”}
She crashed out.
“The separation of a natural stigma from its user is still in study. You have to trust Miss i’s abilities and perseverance.”
{“...”}
i’s alter ego stopped responding. It was then that i looked relieved. Her eyes glanced at .
“...To be honest, my mind is in a ss. But, I know what I should do. Please teach .”
She bowed to my direction.
“Catch this.”
“Oh?!”
I threw over a specially made eastern blade to her. Its length is a typical katana.
“Use your swordsmanship on .”
“..?”
Her eyes contained hints of puzzlent.
“Unsheathe it. Strike .”
“..!”
“Don’t worry about my well-being.”
Knowing her concerns, I took out a similar katana.
Shiing-!
I unsheathed it and grabbed its sharp end with my bare hands.
Then…
Crack-!
Shatter-!
The entire katana—from its grip to its blade—broke into countless small particles. i’s shocked look is a sight to behold.
“This is the first lesson. Supernatural things exist. Don’t try to reason out with your previous common sense. It will cause harm to yourself.”
Shi Tian’s specialized teaching session began.
*****
“Shishou. May I address you as such?”
“...That’s fine.”
i could not remove her eyes from Shi Tian.
Thirty minutes of punching cotton.
That sums up her experience of hitting him. Not once did she succeed. His reaction and raw speed did not exceed that of an ordinary human’s. Yet, he was able to evade all of her strikes.
His every movent seemingly predicted her sword’s path like an open book. Shi Tian emanated a mystical aura that ‘resonated’ with i’s katana. Every ti she felt like understanding what it was, she fell short.
Hence, the thirty minutes of training felt frustrating even to her who has great patience.
“Huff…”
i noticed her school uniform sticking to her body due to sweat. Her eyes widened as she saw her curves being highlighted.
Hum-!
Swoosh-!
Under her surprised eyes, the sweat on her body “disappeared”. The wet and sticky black school uniform beca clean again. It was as if her extensive training did not happen in the first place.
i looked at Shi Tian once more.
“It’s a spell. Convenient, isn’t it?”
She nodded.
“You will have to adjust your training routine. Your focus will be on spiritual qi. Don’t think of the honkai for now. Your father gave your daily schedule and…”
He gave her a set of jade slips, porcelain bottles, written books, and a silver ring. The ring, in particular, is his late second grade storage ring.
i saw him store the items he showed to the ring, to which he threw over to her side.
She looked back and forth between Shi Tian and the ring. A surge of heat ca to her face.
To this strange and mysterious man, i does not know what to feel. She instinctively felt safe with him around.
‘Is this… at first sight..?’
{‘You weakling. He is the one from two days ago.’}
‘..!’
Two days ago.
She recalled those vague mories.
i lost consciousness upon inhaling those fog. Her bodyguards are no exception. She felt her entire body being dragged over by soone. She felt the “danger” at that ti, but no matter how hard she called for help, she could not speak. Her eyes felt extrely heavy. Her body was not responding to her thoughts.
In this vague “dream”, she encountered an aurora. Its presence made her feel very safe.
Turns out, this aurora ca from Shi Tian himself!
i fell into a daze after that. She bid him farewell, returned to her classroom hungry, and went back ho. Her thoughts are mostly related to her shishou.
Only when she sat on her bed did she receive a mont of repose.
“It is him…” i finally registered Shi Tian’s first words a few hours ago. “He ca because of father.”
She opened her phone and ssaged her father.
Seeing him reply positively to their dinner tonight, i looked forward to it.

Ryoma is clueless about his daughter’s current state. His thoughts went to the conversation he had with Welt Yang two days ago.
“I understand your concern. However, you could have placed your daughter in danger.”
Raiden i’s status as the carrier of a Gem was revealed to the Sovereign. Ryoma knew the one who reported him is none other than Shi Tian, Anti-Entropy’s mysterious partner.
Welt Yang, Tesla, and Einstein trusted him. The rest did not matter. As such, there is sparse information about Shi Tian prior to his eting with Kiana.
Ryoma knew the Sovereign’s status as a Herrscher. He also knew about Kiana’s status as another human-aligned Herrscher. Shi Tian is also a Herrscher, just like them.
When he knew that Shi Tian has got sothing to do with the recently developed honkai corruption cure, Ryoma knew there was sothing else with Shi Tian.
That was when the said person approached him today. He appeared out of nowhere and knocked on Ryoma’s office.
“I can help her grasp her powers. I told Mister Yang about it and he agreed.”
When it cos to honkai-related matters, a Herrscher is definitely the best. He is also trusted by the Anti-Entropy trio. Ryoma knew the three of them very well—their trust is reserved to trustworthy people.
As such, Ryoma agreed to the tutoring.
Facing this ever-changing world filled with threatening dangers…
“I hope you can protect yourself.”
…all that mattered was his daughter.
