The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 499 - Failed

Tibur Xero was the leader of the Xero Clan, one of the five families supporting the kingdom. He was an Inner Core cultivator, truly a powerful person and deserving of praise. Their ancestors were the one who served and fight with the emperor during his expiditions around the world.

Thus, people had nothing but respect for this clan. And Tibur Xero was Asner's father. He was currently watching his son taking the test. He was a bit nervous but confident about his child. Asner had been training more than everyone so that he could catch up. He didn't rely on the kingdom source to get stronger. He relied on himself. And as a father, he was very proud of him. Anyway, he was wishing his son good luck now.

"Boom!" The moment Asner punched the bag, a small explosion was made. But it just that. Tibur Xero knitted his brows and saw the numbers shown above.

780. 20 points less to pass the 800 quota. Tibur Xero couldn't help but feel broken for his son. Asner had been looking for this day to become part of the Higher Office and serve the kingdom. Yet, reality slapped him with this.

"Impossible..." Asner couldn't help but reveal a pale expression. He was very sure that his power was already enough to topple the 800 physical strength quota. Yet, what was this? Did he miscalculate? Perhaps. However, this reality was like a cold water pouring down on him.

His dreams... how could he attain it now that he failed this test? Although he could take the test next year, it was too long to wait. Furthermore, he didn't know how to improve without being a member of the Higher Office. After all, he already consumed all of his talent and needed resources to become stronger. His family could no longer support him with this so he needed to rely on himself.

"Hah, and here I thought that you're going to pass this little exam. It seems like I expected too much from you." Then suddenly, a mocking voice sounded. It came from a young male elf with a sneering expression, "Well, what can I expect from a trash who can only rely on the kingdom's source?"

"Landine..." Asner gritted his teeth in frustration. He couldn't refute the words because he really failed the test.

Landine was one of Raser's lackeys. He was the type of elf that supported anyone who would he greatly benefit with. And as of now, he was clinging on Raser's thigh. He also came from a prestigious family, but not on Xero Clan's and Raser's clan level.

And now, Landine saw an opportunity to humiliate Asner so he didn't hold back. Of course, he didn't know that Asner's father was here too. If he did, he wouldn't dare to run his mouth.

"How does it feel to be a failure since you were born?" Landine wasn't finished and mocked Asner, "Having the talent to be strong using the source, your talent is useless since no one is yet to control it unless you become an ancient emperor. Truth be told, you're pitiable. You're pity to the point that I want to trample on you right now."

Landine's twisted logic made the other young ones here had a goosebumps. The chill running down their spines was so cold that they shuddered. As much as possible, they didn't want to antagonize Landine, someone who's twisted and Raser supporting behind him.

"And?" Asner couldn't contain it anymore, "So what if my talent relies on the source? At least, I am exceptional. But how about you? Will you have the chance to become stronger? With your talent, I think you will likely remain being a Foundation. Never stepping on the outer core bounds. If there's more pitiable than me, don't you think it's you?"

"You..." Landine was angered. He knew that Asner wouldn't back down unless he was helpless, yet he didn't expect to hear such vicious words from this person. After all, Asner was one of thos who exercised restraint most of the time.

But what Asner said was true. Landine had a poor talent that it was disgraceful. Unless he worked hard like Asner, he shouldn't think about stepping on the core realms.

"What me? If you want to rebuke my words, then prove me wrong." Asner was not someone to be bullied. He was a prideful elf belonging to the Xero Clan. How could he shame his clan here?

Tibur Xero smiled as he saw his son fighting back. That's right, his son didn't need to think of the consequences. He just needed to defend himself as long as he was right. Tibur Xero didn't nurture this son in vain, and it made him happier. In the future, Asner would be the one leading the clan and perhaps, the whole kingdom too.

Everyone could see the veins popping out of Landine's head. The words had gotten straight to his heart that it was shameful and hurtful at the same time.

Jin Rou sighed. He already had enough of this episode and needed to something about this situation. He walked up to the elder who was managing the machine and said with a normal and polite tone, "Elder, Asner should have passed the test. But an interference outside happened, leading to this situation."

Everyone was silenced when Jin Rou said these words. Even Tibur Xero was surprised. What was he talking about?

The elder was puzzled and wanted to confirm it, "What are you talking about?"

"I mean, there is someone who interrupted Asner while taking the test." Jin Rou said with a confident tone, "And you, as an elder, nearest from Asner. You must have felt it too, right?"

"..." The elder couldn't answer immediately. His expression was complicated and Tibur Xero knew something was going on. He wanted to show himself up and ask but he decided to watch first and see what would unfold.

Jin Rou was full of smiles. One lie from this old man and he would sure to walk him down to hell.
