959 Tempering 3 (1/2)

Everyone took Dyon's words differently.

Some who had been too scared to attempt their own trials resolved in their hearts to do so.

Some who had already taken their trials, but decided to cower here after facing the tough competition of the tower resolved themselves to cower no longer.

While others still became angry at Dyon's words, as though he was personally attacking their character.

In the end, Dyon was content that at least some individuals took his words the right way. Those who chose to become angry had no future to speak of and were destined to forever remain mediocre.

The path of cultivation was one rife with struggles and hardships, if you weren't willing to face them head on, did you deserve to cultivate at all? And even if you did, and you somehow made it through, muddling in mediocrity, there was no doubt in Dyon's mind that people with such weak mindsets would be destroyed under their tribulations.

There was no denying that Dyon had been gifted with a lot of luck in his path, and he would never deny such a thing.

Nearly from the beginning of his journey, he was blessed with a great master who gave him all the tools he could ever need. And then after that, he met a man he was truly proud of becoming the successor of.

However, he would have never received either of these opportunities if he had chosen to remain in his mortal realm. If he had chosen to cower, and stay behind his computer screens and gadgets, he would have never worshipped the 25th White Mother as his master, nor would he have ever met the Demon Sage.

He had to suffer through all sorts of hardships during his time in Focus Academy, even being pushed to the point of near death twice before he received his first opportunity to truly improve.

Although Dyon was lucky, one could never say that he hadn't worked for what he received.

Donari fell into deep thought hearing Dyon's words, before he nodded in the end and walked away without saying a thing.

It took a moment for the battles to start up again after the 'heated' exchange between Dyon and Donari, but finally, under Evangeline's guidance, it did.

Dyon's words had risen his place in the hearts of those four beauties, albeit for vastly different reasons between them.
