“Damn, this isn’t fair!”

Lin Tian sat down and didn’t get up after watching his sister easily finish off another group of living dead.

“Hm… what’s wrong? Did I do something wrong?”

“Of course not, you’re so nice to me, how could you do anything wrong… but I didn’t either! I’ve always been working hard! So why did it end up like this?”

Under Brother Xiao’s guidance, his sister was already able to comfortably make use of her powers, though still far from awakening all of it, she was still young and had plenty of time. Since it was innate, no one could take it from her and there was no rush.

Even though he knew her blood was strong and she was gifted, he never had any idea how much of a gap there was between them until seeing it firsthand. That gap was only going to get wider and he would never be able to catch up to his sister.

“Damn… damn it….”

He struck the ground repeatedly to release some of his pent-up feelings.

“How can I get stronger? …. Am I destined to be useless?”

He kept thinking about it, then he suddenly heard some sounds from a shrub behind and it sounded like there was someone hiding there.

“An ambush!?”

That shrub was behind Yao Zi, so if someone ambushed from there, she wouldn’t be able to react in time.

“No, I have to take a look!”

He couldn’t just watch his sister get ambushed, so he snuck into the bushes to finish off the enemies.

“Hmph, mere monsters want to try and ambush my sister! Die!”

“Fifth-level magic, ice comet!”

Lin Tian may not compare to her sister, but he was still experienced with moves within his ability. Soon a large ice ball flew toward the living dead and froze all of them and then shattered.

“Hehe, I’m still pretty amazing!”

One of his strongest points was his attitude, you can say he’s optimistic and naive or simple-minded, but he was happy after helping his sister, and his gloominess from earlier was swept away.

But there were still other unfortunate events waiting for him…

“Hehe, not bad, I wasn’t mistaken!”

A strange voice came from above him.

“W-who is it!”

Lin Tian jumped back and looked up and saw a strange person wearing a creepy mask. He was sitting in a black cloud wearing tattered white robes, his mask was also broken and stained with blood.

“Hello, I’m the third apostle… you may have heard of me.”

“W-what do you want!?”

“Hehe, don’t worry, I’m not here to ambush your sister, I did that earlier to draw you over.”

“Draw me over? … So your goal is me?”

“That’s right.”

“What are you going to do to me?”

Lin Tian thought about it and thought he was coming for him first because he was weaker and got angry.

“Hmph, do you think I’m easy to pick on? Don’t underestimate me!”

“You’re mistaken, I’m not trying to finish you off.”

“… Hah? Then what do you want?”

“Xiao Tian, don’t worry, just listen to me… I want you to come with me!”

The third apostle smiled and reached a hand out toward him.

“I know you’re bitter about not having talent, right? You want to get stronger, but you have no opportunity to, but your sister was easily able to get stronger, and it was an inherent bloodline ability… aren’t you angry seeing her? Aren’t you jealous, don’t you want to surpass her?”

“S-so what if that’s the case!?”

“Hehe, I know you’re angry… but you have to believe that this world is fair, you aren’t useless, you have your own innate gifts!”

“I… do I really?”

“Of course!”

The third apostle laughed when he noticed Xiao Tian wavering, “As long as you come with me, I’ll let you know how strong you are! I’ll open that door and let you see a whole new world!”

“… Open the door to see a whole new world?”

Am I really not useless? Do I really have my own innate gift that hasn’t been discovered yet? Can I see a whole new world by following this strange person?



Peh!

He may be dumb, but he wasn’t mentally handicapped!

“Hey! What the hell do you want!? If you want to fight, I’ll be glad to, but leaving with you… dream on! I’m not a three-year-old child, who would fall for that!”

“Tsk… so you aren’t that stupid.”

Even if you are trying to abduct a child you would give them some candy first as bait… but he didn’t give anything yet, so how could it work?

The third apostle regretted the fact he didn’t bring more black cores, and couldn’t forcibly take Lin Tian away. So should he just forcibly abduct him?

No. It would be troublesome if he startled Yao Zi, if she suddenly noticed her brother being abducted, wouldn’t she desperately try to catch up? Even he wasn’t confident he could take her on right now.

So, the third apostle could only try to use his words to persuade Lin Tian. Though he couldn’t compare to Lin Xiao, he already had a grasp on Lin Tian’s weakness.

“Do you think I’m lying? Do you truly believe you’re useless?”

“I-I’m not! I’m not even an adult yet, but I’m already a fifth-level magician!”

“Yes, a fifth-level magician at such a young age, of course, it’s nothing compared to those geniuses like Lin Xiao or Caesar, but it’s already excellent compared to an average person… but, do you think that’s your limit?”

“Limit? … Are you saying I’m not working hard enough!? I’ve put all my energy into studying magic and I meditate every day! I never slack off! I-I’m already doing everything I can… am I not working hard enough?”

“You are indeed working hard… but do you not understand that the harder you work on the wrong thing, the further you’ll go toward the wrong direction?”

“W-what are you trying to say!?”

“Haha, so you never knew!”

The third apostle laughed and stared straight into Lin Tian’s eyes.

“Xiao Tian, you possess unrivaled magic affinity… you possess the magic vessel!”
