The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 5917

“Havenʼt I trained diligently all this while?” Truettʼs voice was shaking. “Have I not done everything well enough?”

“No.” Yegor stared into Truettʼs eyes. “As Yegor Sadlerʼs 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 Skynetʼs young master to have things go your way.”

“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.”

“Think about it. How long have you been stuck on the Yuraeceon Daelm Rankʼs Fifth Tribulation?”

“All 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.”

Yegor stood up and let out a sigh.

“However, mental fortitude plays a huge part in the leveling-up of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank cultivators, especially during the later stages.” Yegor looked at him. “You 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.”

He continued, “That’s why I’ve agreed to let James defeat you in the battle. You shouldnʼt blame him. It was all my idea.”

“How could I blame him?” Truett sighed. “It’s my fault that my powers and cultivation are not good enough.”

“You still donʼt get it.” Yegor tapped lightly on Truettʼs forehead. “The problem lies not with your cultivation but in your mental fortitude.”

“If you donʼt 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.”

Truett heaved a deep breath. “What do I do now, then?”

“It’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 canʼt possibly rely solely on battling others to raise Skynetʼs reputation, right?”

Truett nodded as he got to his feet. “Donʼt 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.”

Truett bowed slightly and walked out of the room.

As he watched Truettʼs receding figure, Yegor poured himself a cup of Qhairos again.

A faint smile hung on his face. “Finally, there’s someone who can keep him grounded.”

Then, Yegor downed the liquor in a gulp.
