Chapter 501: Li An in the Eyes of the Sky Thief, the Unreasonable Li An

In the City Lord's Mansion.Tong Zheng slowly opened his eyes.His injuries had almost healed thanks to the Guild Master's miraculous treatment.Memories flooded back.The image of him being overlooked by the King of Space resurfaced in his mind.His first reaction was horror, followed by anger."I saw clearly, it was a human!""Master, it was a human who attacked me!"Just as he finished shouting, he realized the Guild Master wasn't in the ward at all. Only the dull, God-level figure remained."The Guild Master said if you wake up, he'll invite you to the rooftop to watch the fight."Tong Zheng didn't respond, but rolled back the blanket and ran towards the rooftop.Looking down, he saw everything in the arena.Li An stood in the center of the battlefield, surrounded by six contemporary champions from six families.The sun rose.The morning breeze blew, lifting the Guild Master's dark hair. "Has the fighting reached this point?" Tong Zheng's face was filled with surprise and disbelief.But he quickly recovered and said, "Wait, no, Master, I've been attacked by a powerful human!""Yes." The president nodded slightly."You won't care?" Tong Zheng's face was filled with disbelief."Why should I?" the president asked. "Before you left last night, I told you that once you step through this door, you've become a master. In the future, the sky is high, birds fly freely, the sea is vast, fish leap freely.""I won't care about you anymore.""This is the last time."Tong Zheng's face changed slightly, and he said, "This..."The president continued, "I'm curious, when did I ever say Zhuge Tianming was inferior to me?"Tong Zheng's face changed slightly, and he quickly said, "You...you didn't say that, but you are a Sky Thief.""You are a supreme being who has lived from the ancient times to the present day. Zhuge Tianming has only been famous for a few thousand years, so it's natural that he is inferior to you!" The president shook his head in self-mockery, saying, "This world isn't what you think it is.""Leave the City Lord's Mansion.""I won't care about you anymore."Hearing this, Tong Zheng immediately knelt and frantically asked, "Did I cause trouble for you, Master?""I, I, I didn't know it would be so serious."The president remained expressionless. "I'll say this one last time. You've already completed your mastership. I won't care about anything in the future.""It doesn't matter what you do or say.""Because you have nothing to do with me anymore.""Go down."The president shook his head and waved his hand. Tong Zheng was gently blown away, landing on the ground.The president looked at this boy born with a Taoist body, his face expressionless.He had lived for too many years.Almost nothing could stir his heart.Whether Tong Zheng lived or died, it was of no concern to him.But Tong Zheng asked him if he was really inferior to Zhuge Tianming.After living for so long, why would he be inferior to a powerful figure who had only been famous for a few thousand years?In reality, he understood the truth.Just as Li An had said.The path of cultivation is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat!The celestial beings attacked again and again.He retreated again and again.His heart of the Tao had long since fallen to the mortal world, as insignificant as a mayfly.Others, however, bravely forged ahead against the current.Living a long life is meaningless.If you don't dare to advance, you won't be strong, only weak.Just like Li An before him.Why is he stronger than others of the same age?Because he has multiple talents?In this era, there are countless super-prodigies with three talents.And then there are the monstrous beings like the Heavenly Cripple and the Heavenly Enlightened, who share the same origin as the Tao.Why is he the one standing here, and not others?Not just because he always chooses to advance.But because he has made this choice more often.He has faced far more difficulties than his peers. Because Zhuge Tianming elevated him to the position of the Son of Fortune.From then on, the killing calamities continued.These geniuses from the Eight Great Families may not have encountered a single killing calamity in their lives.Chu Yunluo, Ji Lie.These two simply faced a single Dao Heart decision and chose to move forward. One condensed the Dao Fruit, the other awakened his bloodline.This demonstrates that their talents are comparable.The difference lies in that life-threatening Dao Heart decision, which Li An has made countless times at his age.And each time, he chose to move forward, without even a moment's hesitation.He stepped forward, and became the young man now renowned throughout the world, holding the world in awe.So, he is at the Second Level of the Dao Fruit.It makes sense.No, it's actually a bit unreasonable.Last night, the president collected all of Li An's experiences and carefully examined them.At the beginning of the story, Li An was essentially a discarded child of the human race!The source of his fortune lies elsewhere. He was a scapegoat, pushed out by Zhuge Tianming to take the knife!Actually, that's not quite true.If he hadn't blocked the knife, he would have been a pitiful scapegoat.But if he had, he would have been the Li An he is today.Li An blocked it, time and again, blocking the butcher knife that Zhu Tian had drawn against him.The most interesting of these is Li Wu Ce.This man, whom Li An hated, had actually been protecting him.At the time, Li An, freshly turned eighteen, full of vigor and ambition, had walked out of Tianshui City, unaware of the number of people who wanted to kill him.Li Wu Ce couldn't stop those people, but he could tell them that the one who wanted to kill Li An the most was himself.Come, let me do it!He used the most foolish scheme, creating a seemingly unstoppable catastrophe, to demonstrate to Zhu Tian his determination to kill Li An.To this end, he even broke with his adoptive father, Shuang Han.Whether this is true or not is unclear.But it's likely true.Li Wu Ce was the director, and Shuang Han was his actor. But Shuanghan himself might not even know it.The best way for an actor to deliver a flawless performance is to make them unaware they're acting.In the information he'd gathered, many people wrote that Li Wuce didn't care about Li An as a person, only about his dream as a talent.This was completely wrong.Li Wuce cared deeply about Li An's safety.Because he was a Sky Thief, he had witnessed Li Wuce's youth with his own eyes.He was a child identical to the current Li Shaoshu.He was humble yet kind, and he considered his brother, Li Huofei, his closest and dearest person.That year, ten-year-old Li Wuce couldn't even lie, and would blush at anyone's teasing.Li Huofei's descendants were his closest relatives.It was impossible for Li Wuce not to care about Li An.The most interesting fact was a truth Li An only learned later.His grandfather, who had already reached the Intermediate Third Realm, died at an unusually young age because of Li Wuce's manipulation. When Li An was eight years old, Li Wuce attacked his grandfather.The Sky Thief confirmed that Li Wuce loved Li An, so he used the Stone of Time to revisit the events of that time.Sure enough.The truth was revealed.One day, Li An was playing in the backyard of his ancestral home, unaware of the arrival of a distinguished guest—Li Wuce!Li Wuce took one look at Li An and immediately noticed something was wrong with the little guy.Most people's innate runes only fully converge by the age of twelve.But Li An was truly gifted. Even at a young age, the aura of dreams began to surge.Li Wuce saw it.He realized the seriousness of the matter.This generation of his brother's lineage might be in trouble.Li An might have forgotten it himself.When he was seven or eight, Li Wuce had teased him.Or perhaps Li Wuce had erased this part of Li An's memory.Anyway, one day, Li Wuce told his grandfather about this incident. "I might have to kill you, for Li An.""But I won't necessarily kill you. I'll leave you with a hidden illness.""If Li An doesn't have the gift of dreams, and I was mistaken, I'll remove it.""But if he does, you'll die from it."The Li family knew the magnitude of the dream gift.His grandfather, for the sake of his precious grandson, chose to agree.Li An was completely unaware of all this.In the eyes of the Sky Thief, after the deaths of Li An's family, the person who loved him most in the world was Li Wu Ce.Frost Cold was an accident.Zhuge Tianming was also a soft-hearted man.He chose to place Frost Snow beside Li An to give the child a glimmer of hope.With Frost Cold as a shield.With Li Wu Ce providing counsel from behind.If Li An had fought hard, he might have had a chance of survival.This was Li An's beginning. Innate dreams, combined with the acquired, artificially bestowed source of luck, suffice to call him a star destined for doom.He faced the calamities of the heavens.And all he had were Shuanghan and Li Wuce.No surprises.Whether in the human realm or beyond, Li An was constantly surrounded by calamities.Yet, unexpectedly, he survived time and again.Looking back now, it seems as if everything was predestined.But the Sky Thief understood that it was a defiance of fate.He should have been dead.All the high-ranking officials in the human realm knew this!Suzaku knew it!Liu Dahu knew it!The human figure with the condensed sword spirit knew it!That's why Li An was so favored by those powerful individuals!That's why, at the Sword Draw Conference, after Li An chose to merge the three realms into one, exchanging his life for theirs, Zhuge Tianming made up his mind to allow the Tyrant's Shadow to descend upon him, granting him the greatest opportunity the human race could offer him!Because this was what the human race owed him! All of this made the Sky-Thief feel that Li An's current state was completely unreasonable!He had endured so much hardship.He had made so many fate-altering Dao-heart decisions.How could there only be the Second Heaven?He should be even stronger than he is now!This was also why the Sky-Thief had done nothing these past few days, just watching Li An.In all his years, this was the first time he had seen someone so resilient and so arrogant!He looked down.The referee gave the order.The six chosen ones surrounding Li An moved!This level was actually not easy to pass.Those were six geniuses, two of whom had already achieved Dao Fruit.It was mainly because the team was so well-organized.Tank, Yuan Jia from the Jisheng Hall.Assassin, Jin Huang Man.Ranged marksman, Che Rihong.Ranged mage, Wuji Hai Leiji.Support, Lei Ju Jiang Lu.And then there was Ji Lie, a strategic-level weapon capable of blasting Li An half to death. If these six men work well together, Ang Lee will be in for a tough fight.Two fists are truly no match for four, let alone twelve.Let's see.
