[The life experiences in Lu Xinghe's profile will be recounted in his own memories.]
Eighty years ago, Great Xia's first God-Tier Classholder-a Starry Sky Guardian-used his life force as he lay dying to leave behind a prophecy that was still passed down to this day:
[When Great Xia faces a catastrophe that threatens its very existence, a Savior will emerge, turning the tide again and again, saving Great Xia from peril and the world from calamity.]
My name was Lu Xinghe.
At the beginning of this story, I thought I would be the Savior. I thought I would save Great Xia, save the Human Race...
Year 200 of the Transcendent Era, Nantang City, North China.
"Lu Xinghe! Legendary Class!!!"
At that year's Class-Change Ceremony, I was the only Legendary Classholder in North China. Every teacher and student in the school cheered for me.
Commander Zhou Yuan, who oversaw all of North China, had great hopes for me. He said I was talented, and as long as I worked hard, my future achievements would rival his!
Back then, I was brimming with ambition, my confidence almost at its peak. Commander Zhou Yuan treated me well, teaching me plenty of combat tactics and techniques.
As expected, I took first place in North China's college entrance exam.
I chose Huaxing University, one of Great Xia's foremost universities, and began my college life as the strongest incoming freshman.
Unfortunately, in the freshman tournament and Combat Exam during my first year, I lost to Elviedi, an exchange student from the Elven Royal Family, and only came second.
That was the first defeat of my life. My mentor and the president comforted me, explaining that the Elven Royal Family possessed powerful racial talents and innate spellcasting abilities that humans could not match.
I understood.
