Chapter 1052
(Unedited)
…
A tall man wearing a blue cultivator's robe is sitting calmly on a chair beside the bed. His eyes are glued to the young teen in front of him with complex emotion in them. Xin Jong did not know what his young boy changed and how he has the guts to fool his own father for a very long time.
For almost four years, he thought that his son has turned into a fool that did not know anything but to stare at the horizon. He did not know what his son was thinking when he decided to bury his talents. But deep in his heart, he knew that all of this happened because of him.
He knew that he has failed as a father.
That is the reason why, ever since he gained his strength back, he did not rest until he gained a name for himself and became one of the officials in the city. With his strength and abilities, he was able to rise through the ranks from a mere soldier to an official..
When he discovered that his son suddenly became someone who would just stare in the air like a fool, he decided to provide him with a good home.
With Xin Jong's strength and power at the 10th level as a Ki fighter, the town's officials did not hesitate to give him a high position in the town's military. For four years he works himself every day and helped the town with many of its problems especially against the beasts in the forest.
Xin Jong then became known as 'Indestructible Jong'.
In the battles against the beasts and people who violate the laws of the town, Xin Jong would always be the forefront character. He got the name 'indestructible' because he would always be protected by a strange power in which his body would never get hurt.
Well, in truth, from that day when the father and son were kidnapped he blames himself for taking the pendant that his son gave him while sleeping. The pendant is a bit uncomfortable to wear when sleeping, so he would always take it off. And because of that, he almost lost his son.
From then on he told himself to always wear the pendant no matter what, and it has helped him in every dangerous turn.
The pendant seems to amplify its defensive barrier 3 levels above the level of the user.
He did not know it before, but now that he knew it, Xin Jong did not dare remove it from his body.
Will he get angry or will he feel happy? He did not know how to react at this time. In fact, seeing his son like this made him happy. But knowing that his son lied to him made him angry at himself and also at his son for not trusting him.
”This… Papa… I…” Xin Ja wanted to say something but he did not know what to say.
His mind is already blank and all of his excuses are gone.
”When…” Xin Jong said in a low voice.
”Papa… Sigh… Since… Since the beginning.” He said.
Upon hearing this, Xin Jong went silent and stood up from his seat. His expression is a bit heavy as he walks to the door.
”Follow me outside…” he said.
Xin Ja felt a bit helpless, he could not deny the fact that he lied to his father. Although he has his reasons, it still did not excuse him for lying.
With a heavy atmosphere between father and son, the two soon reach the inner courtyard of the manor.
Suddenly, Xin Jong moved like a gust of wind. His right hand is already formed into a claw directed at Xin Ja's throat.
Upon seeing this, the reaction of Xin Ja is not slow. He subconsciously uses his Shadow Step skill to dodge the claw attack from his father.
After dodging he heaves a sigh of relief. However, the attack did not stop right there.
Xin Jong forces a fist with his left hand and punches towards Xin Ja's ċhėst. His father is not using his Ki and just using his raw strength, but the gust of wind already carried powerful force that made the skin of Xin Ja crawl.
He shifted his head to the side and still uses Shadow Steps to dodge.
Wham! Wham!
The sound of the air breaking the sound barrier almost deafens Xin Ja's hearing. Although he could dodge the punches, yet his body still suffers from the aftershock of the force alone.
Suddenly, he somersaulted back and quickly flicks a few formation flags in the area.
