2 No worries, boy

He woke up.

"And so your martial talent is..." said an old man.

'Hmmm?' He couldn't emit any sound.

Raden saw the old man's face twitch...

"Well...Peak Mortal Grade!"

Many people in the crowd were shocked...then their gazes transformed in disappointment and some even in anger and resentment.

'Owww...I know how this is going to end'

His father was watching...by his eyes, Raden could understand that there was sadness hidden in his smile.

'Wait a moment...he isn't my father! Is this a dream? Or maybe...'

'Nope I don't think that this is a lucid dream...otherwise, I'd be omnipotent'

He couldn't help but to be excited and scared at the same time.

'But if so why can't I control my body?'

Raden heard a metallic voice.

'Oh, a system' 'How many cliches do you intend to throw at me eh, heavens? The underestimated boy and then a system? Well...it's not like I'm displeased by this, b-baka!'

'Ok. When I joke with myself I feel lonely, lonely as an astronaut that was left alone in the deep space because his friend betrayed him in order to have enough food and... I should stop, for my own good.'

While he was thinking Jin Liang returned to his room, closing himself from the world. He took a pearl from his pockets and brought it to his chest.

"M-mother" He muttered.

Tears started flowing between his cheeks moistening his pillow. The pearl seemingly shined for those tears, but it was only for a fleeting moment.

"C-can you give me the power to..." "To...I want to make them understand. U-understand to not make fun of me...To not make fun of my father...and you"

'Don't worry boi, with me in posses of your body I'll let you soar in the skies! Well...if the system is good'

At that moment his father entered the room.

Jia Liang hugged his son.

"You don't have to worry about that...You can compensate for your lack of talent with enough resources and mastering the arts..."

"As if the elder would let you use the clan's resources" He replied weakly.

"They would if you were to master our arts!"

"Ahah! I don't want to master those arts!"

"Ahhh" He sighed "Do you really care about their lives? They are ants after all. Such a weak-minded person like you wouldn't live long in the cultivation world..."

"But it disgusts me."

"Even I at your age didn't like to do that, but as I grew I understood that power was more important."

"It still disgusts me."

"Remember in two days will arrive the delegate so...you should at least try"

Jia Liang concluded "...I have to go."

He watched for the last time his son. He sighed with eyes full of worry and closed the door.

"Sigh...to become stronger...at the end, power is what matters in this world. But then if I were to be chosen by discount delegate I wouldn't have to continue training those arts." "But then at the trial, I would have no combat art to show" "Ahhhh..."

A moment of pondering. It was only a moment.

A resolute glint in his eyes.

He would become stronger! He would defy the bounds of his talent, he would show them all his prowess!

He closed his eyes imprinting that objective in his soul.

At that moment the pearl resplended with a beautiful sky blue light.

<<Created a connection with the host>>

<<Obtained Mid Sky Grade Book 'Soul Arts Vol. I'>>

Jin Liang started sleeping to simply forget about everything...his talent, his clan, the mother he had never seen. Everything.

He couldn't predict how great he would become...

'Is...Is he talking about humans? No! No! No! I didn't want to end up in a deconstruction of a chinese novel, I wanted a true one!'
