those with broad backs and sturdy frames are suited for hard-body training; Zhou, the deputy branch master of Qinghe Branch, lost his hair young—perfect aptitude for Iron Head Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others require a professional bone-reader to determine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Li Rui’s Wu Bone, it’s nearly impossible to discern by sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, many great clans and sects cultivate a bone-reader to avoid missing martial prodigies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They determine bone structure the moment a child is born, tailor training accordingly for those with exceptional structure—they win at the starting line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can a peasant martial arts master compete?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second is insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to bone structure, insight is far more elusive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It cannot be measured by physical means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s not entirely undetectable—children who speak in full sentences at one, compose poetry at three, demonstrate insight beyond ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In martial training, it means some grasp a martial art quickly, others slowly—the fast ones have superior insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, compared to bone structure, insight is less practical in martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because insight’s greatest use is creating new martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unless one is already a renowned martial master, creating new arts is meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, many talented disciples with mediocre bone structure but excellent insight are often overlooked, eventually fading into obscurity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Improved insight mainly raises a martial artist’s ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rui carefully sensed the changes in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from a clearer mind, there seemed to be no other changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps the effects of improved insight will only become apparent over time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah He, I give up, I give up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shulin plopped onto the ground, panting heavily, one hand braced on the earth, the other waving frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang He reluctantly lowered his wooden sword, still eager for more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shulin, you’ve grown so weak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shulin rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have I grown weak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s you who’s grown stronger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roared inwardly, but never voiced these words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shulin rose, feeling gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, Liang He, and Liu Tong joined Tianyi Hall around the same time, their skills once nearly equal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was even slightly stronger than Liang He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his family background was far better than Liang He’s commoner status; since his uncle, the branch master, became deputy branch master, he never lacked for martial arts manuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now Liang He defeated him in just ten moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was only the beginning—the gap between them would only widen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said Liu Tong, after transferring to the Civil-Martial Hall, shone brightly in the latest assessment and had already gained some fame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, among Tianyi Hall’s three disciples, he alone was a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shulin naturally felt gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that he didn’t work hard—it was simply that his talent couldn’t match theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the upcoming assessment, he felt even worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang He noticed Zhou Shulin’s low spirits; since being guided by Master Li, he could better sense others’ emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately guessed Zhou Shulin’s mood stemmed from the assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shulin, you train diligently and have improved greatly—I’ve just improved faster. You’ll still earn a fine rank in the assessment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shulin felt somewhat better: “Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang He nodded seriously: “Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had once been aloof, with almost no friends in the Heaven and Earth Alliance—Zhou Shulin was one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to lose his only friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply comforting Zhou Shulin by saying he was strong would have no effect—no one was foolish; only truthful encouragement truly worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shulin finally grinned: “Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect to match Liang He or Liu Tong—just to stay in the branch’s Seven Halls was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang He’s expression changed, bowing respectfully: “Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shulin turned and saw Li Rui standing behind him, unseen until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly spun around and stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“M-Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rui saw his two disciples training earnestly and nodded approvingly: “Good. Keep training—the assessment is coming. Don’t tarnish Tianyi Hall’s reputation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then realized Tianyi Hall had no reputation to speak of, so added: “Your master is old now. The future belongs to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two boys instantly blushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approval from the Master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang He, neck flushed, said: “Master, I won’t let you down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rui patted both boys’ shoulders: “Good. Keep going.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he walked into Tianyi Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first inspected the first and second floors, then selected a book: The True Interpretation of Nan Hua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One cup of tea, one book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Rui sat comfortably on a wooden chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This life — not even a prince would trade for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1147,"2026-06-19T22:01:09.077Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a05ae1bb2fa6f2eb007553ad4c54f34f3fca7e59b9218059b998143ef3b65c6f","eternal-green-immortal-sovereign-chapter-47","eternal-green-immortal-sovereign-chapter-45",866,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-green-immortal-sovereign-cover.jpg"]
