Chapter 5917
The Almighty Dragon General
"Haven't I trained diligently all this while?â Truett's voice was shaking. âHave I not done everything
well enough?â
âNo.â Yegor stared into Truett's eyes. âAs Yegor Sadler's son, you need to work harder than everyone
else. You need to have exceptional powers but keep a low profile. That would prove that you did not
misuse your status as Skynet's young master to have things go your way.â
"Your ego and arrogance grew as others kept heaping praises on you. Those are the very things that
are stopping you from improving in your cultivation. They also limit you from seeing our worlds and
your surroundings objectively.â
âThink about it. How long have you been stuck on the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank's Fifth Tribulation?â
âAll you ever cared about back then was to find more battle opponents or to look for superb
signature skills. Yet, you completely overlooked the importance of improving your mental fortitude.â
Yegor stood up and let out a sigh.
âHowever, mental fortitude plays a huge part in the leveling-up of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank
cultivators, especially during the later stages.â Yegor looked at him. âYou must let go of those
arrogant, egotistical thoughts that are holding you back. With a calm and humble heart, you will be
able to achieve more improvements.â
He continued, âThat's why I've agreed to let James defeat you in the battle. You shouldn't blame
him. It was all my idea.â
âHow could I blame him?â Truett sighed. âIt's my fault that my powers and cultivation are not good
enough.â
"You still don't get it.â Yegor tapped lightly on Truett's forehead. âThe problem lies not with your
cultivation but in your mental fortitude.â
âIf you don't change your mindset, you will never be able to defeat James even if he teaches you all
his signature skills and knowledge. That's because you are not as humble and steadfast as he is.â
Truett heaved a deep breath. âWhat do I do now, then?â
"As I said, return to the Timaeus Sect right away.â Yegor replied, âFollow James and train diligently.
Forget all about those impractical titles and focus on leveling up from the Yuraeceon Xaelm Rank'âs
Seventh Tribulation.â
Truett fell silent. In his opinion, he would not be able to do much even if he returned to the Timaeus
Sect with his current level of power.
"You still don't want to go?â Yegor arched his brow. âWell, James is about to join the Timaeus Sect's
test and hopefully earn the chance to explore Forladtt Land. You've heard of the Forladtt Land
before, right?â
Truett's eyes shone with excitement. âForladtt Land?! Timaeus Sect is planning to send their
members to Forladtt Land?â
Yegor smirked. âAre you finally motivated now?â
Truett responded, âWe may come across valuable treasures or great opportunities in a place like the
Forladtt Land.â
âRemember this. James may be lower in terms of his cultivation rank. However, he surpasses you
when it comes to matters of mental fortitude, knowledge, and perseverance.â Yegor reminded him.
âIt'll only benefit you to learn alongside him. Moreover, I have high hopes for you. I'll hand over
Skynet to you in the future. You can't possibly rely solely on battling others to raise Skynet's
reputation, right?â
Truett nodded as he got to his feet. âDonât worry, Dad. I may not fully understand why you are
asking me to do this yet, but I know that you only wish for me to improve. I'll meet with James and
follow him to the Forladtt Land for sure.â
Truett bowed slightly and walked out of the room.
As he watched Truett's receding figure, Yegor poured himself a cup of Qhairos again.
A faint smile hung on his face. âFinally, thereâs someone who can keep him grounded.â
Then, Yegor downed the liquor in a gulp.
