On this vast Kunxuan Continent, strength reigns supreme. From small villages with hundreds of households to the Ye Lin Empire where they are, it's the same everywhere.
The adulthood ceremony varies greatly among different families, but at its core, it aims to select outstanding youths for cultivation. If one performs too averagely during the ceremony, they will only be able to do simple work in the village afterward. While this isn't destitution, life and status will inevitably be a notch lower than others.
Zuo Feng stood remotely in a corner, watching the crowded masses. Those tedious adulthood ceremonies always gave him a headache, so he intentionally arrived late by half an hour.
The ceremony was not yet over, and watching the group of youths in the center being manipulated like puppets, Zuo Feng couldn't help but feel secretly glad about his decision.
