Chapter 533 - Mentality

Translator: Yorasu | Editor: Fireclaws

At night, in the main hall of the Tian family’s residency...

Tian Zi stood there dejectedly while being reprimanded by a middle-aged man in front of him. Tian Zi didn’t dare refute him. For being born under such a prestigious family, he is very well aware of the hierarchy levels.

“Do you know how much the Tian family has invested in you?”

“In order to make you become the chairman, how much resources have I used on you? I can clearly see success, yet you actually failed in the entrance exam!”

“You can’t even beat a mere Su Hao, you trash!”

The middle-aged man screamed at the top of his lungs.

This man is one of the Tian family elders and the third uncle of Tian Zi. In order to allow the Tian family to gain more influence, he didn’t choose his own son with decent talent! Instead, he chose the most dazzling talent in the family, Tian Zi! However, the result wasn’t as he expected.

Tian Zi lowered his head and didn’t refute his words.

“Humph!”

“A full twenty years of investing in you!”

“I do not wish to see the same thing again for the second time. Otherwise, I don’t mind substituting you with someone else.” The middle-aged man warned in a cold and stern voice.

“Yes.” Tian Fu replied in a low voice.

“Alright, get out of here...” The middle-aged man’s sigh could be heard echoing in the hall before he finished his sentence.

“Isn’t it enough?”

“You actually dare to talk back?” The middle-aged man glared at Tian Zi, but then realized that it wasn’t him who said that, “Who?”

“I’m asking you, is it enough?”

“Boom!”

A heavy aura suddenly appeared.

Everything in the hall instantly shattered. A figure appeared and destroyed everything nearby with a gentle tap, with a pair of cold eyes he looked at the middle-aged man. Without uttering a word, those eyes glanced at Tian Zi for a second, “Tian Zi, come over to my place.”

“Yes, master.” Tian Zi respectfully replied.

“Swish~”

That aura vanished as if nothing just happened.

Bidding farewell to the middle-aged man, Tian Zi turned and left.

“Damn you Tian Zi. You actually sought help from your master to protect you...” That middle-aged man was about to continue his words but recalling the scene earlier and the identity of that man, he could only internally curse.

At the backyard, Tian Zi quietly knelt in front of a hut, “Master, I’m sorry. I have shamed you.”

“Are you afraid?” The voice was clear and clean.

“I...” Tian Zi didn’t know how to answer. When he recalled the entrance exam today, he was like a fool, being toyed by Su Hao. He had tried his best, but Su Hao still surpassed him with a full 3 credits. At that time, Tian Zi suddenly realized that the gap is definitely not something he could ignore.

It represented an absolute gap in strength!

Was he afraid?

Tian Zi was unsure.

“What do you think is shameful?”

“I didn’t obtain first.” Tian Zi honestly replied.

“Is being first really that important?”

“Huh?” Tian Zi was at a loss.

First is obviously important. Since young, he has always been at the top and under everyone’s focus. However, since his failure in the college entrance exam, everything began to change. The attitude of his family and his third uncle all began to change. Especially after this failure, the difference in treatment was very obvious.

If it was before, would his third uncle act like this?

Thus, he wanted to take everything back!

As long as he gets back the top spot, everything will be restored to normal!

The Tian family would once again pay attention to him, and his third uncle would continue to invest in him wholeheartedly. Was there a problem with this idea?

Tian Zi couldn’t help but think in this direction.

“In your opinion, why did I accept you as my disciple?” There was a hint of disappointment in the voice.

Tian Zi didn’t know and dared not answer. Accepting him as a disciple, wasn’t it because of his potential? Or perhaps, because he is from the Tian family? Or maybe, his ability talent?

“I accept you as my disciple because you have a chance to be the strongest esper!”

“Boom!”

Tian Zi felt a shock in his mind.

The… the strongest esper?

Tian Zi could hardly believe that he actually has the opportunity to become such a figure? The so-called legendary figure?

“Between the peak of world realm and the strongest esper, there was an insurmountable barrier and your talent, battle intent has the best shot to break through this barrier. Thus, the reason I accept you is because you have the chance to be the strongest esper. However, there is a condition...”

Tian Zi carefully listened.

“You have to reach the peak of world realm first!”

“If you can’t even reach the peak of the world realm, becoming the strongest esper will just empty talk. If you die before becoming the strongest esper, no matter how good your ability talent is, what’s the use?”
