Chapter 50: I Have A Rare Physique? Oh No....
One week after beginning his journey as a cultivator, Han Xuhan finally shed his identity as a mortal and entered the first layer of the Skeleton Monarch Technique while cycling his qi under Elder Kong’s observant eyes.
He had received a substantial amount of help from the Elder while breaking through, for which Xuhan was very grateful.
With the passing of time, he had managed to gauge Xuhan’s talent in cultivation compared to his peers. The discovery had shocked both of them greatly.
No, he wasn’t an amazingly talented hidden gem, like he had hoped. His aptitude for cultivation was in fact nearly trash-tier.
After asking around, Han Xuhan learned that more than 80% of his fellow disciples had taken barely half a week to break into the first layer from being a normal mortal.
The only redeeming quality he discovered about himself was perhaps his comprehension. He could adapt and bulldoze his way through complicated lessons, cultivation techniques, and mathematical aspects with much more ease compared to his fellow disciples, something that the Elder appreciated while teaching him.
For example, a couple of days ago, elder Shi was describing the subtle differences between bloodlines and how they affect one’s body by circulating through the blood vessels. Nearly none of the disciples understood the process or the theory at first, being ignorant of the physiological knowledge of the human body at a molecular level.
The only vessel they cared about was the meridians where qi flows.
But Han Xuhan easily managed to identify the keywords and understood how the bloodline characteristics blended with the blood corpuscles and made tiny changes at the molecular level.
Of course, none of the magical aspects or mutations could be explained scientifically. But he wasn’t interested in pursuing harmony between science and magic. So he just marked the inexplicable parts as [cultivation magic] in his notes and left it at that.
However, this was already an exceptional level of comprehensive ability from the viewpoint of the Elders. So Han Xuhan received more care from them as a result.
