Chapter 591 Son of a Tyrant

“Xiao Zhantian?”Li An raised an eyebrow, his previously heavy mood lifted by the name.“A good name!” He had just been worried about whether the Demon Realm would receive aid from the Heavenly Realm, and then he encountered a boy named Zhantian.Very auspicious!Good-looking, and with a pleasant-sounding name, Li An was very friendly towards him.“How old are you?”Xiao Zhantian: “I’ll be eighteen in four months.”“Under eighteen?” Li An frowned, saying, “The army has rules; minors are not allowed to enter the front lines. Why aren’t you at military school? What are you doing here?”From Xiao Zhantian’s expression and posture, Li An could tell that this boy must be studying at a military academy.“I… graduated,” Xiao Zhantian said nervously.At this moment, Lin He, standing to the side, took out Xiao Zhantian's resume and smiled, a rare occurrence for him: "This kid is your fanboy.""He was just saying, 'We were both on the battlefield when we were fifteen or sixteen,'""Take a look at his resume before deciding whether to take him on."Lin He said, handing the resume to Li An.Li An lowered his head and carefully scanned the resume, becoming increasingly alarmed with each reading.An orphan.From childhood to adulthood, he was always first in his grade, gaining admission to the best high school in the human realm, the High Heaven Academy, with the aura of an absolute genius and protagonist. He even held the top spot for two years there.All his subjects were either perfect scores or just two points shy of perfect scores. An undisputed super genius, only lacking a bit of natural talent, not reaching the Infinite level; otherwise, he would have had a chance to enter the Temple of Cultivation.Only SSS-level, Crimson Flame, whose ability is to amplify all of his attributes and inflict powerful fire elemental damage.At this moment, Li An still didn't realize who he was facing.The next second, he said calmly, "Show me your talent."He then looked up at Xiao Zhantian.The other man stood up, his fists clenched.In an instant.Crimson flames surged, engulfing his entire body, flames flickering wildly at the corners of his eyes.With just one glance, Li An was struck dumb, even uttering incoherently, "What!?"Lin He, standing beside him, paled slightly. How could Li An react with such an exaggerated expression?Even when facing the Awakener or anyone else back then, he had always been incredibly composed.This reaction was unprecedented."Wh...what's wrong?" Xiao Zhantian couldn't help but feel a surge of tension.But only Li An knew what was happening.He was someone who had been possessed by the Tyrant back then!The aura, the eyes—it was exactly the same!Especially these flames.Li An reached out to touch them, the shock on his face intensifying even further! The fire was almost identical to the fire on the Spear of Godslaying, the only difference being a paler color and a lower temperature. But what realm was the Spear of Godslaying at? What realm is Xiao Zhantian at now?In other words, once Xiao Zhantian's realm is high enough…The power of a tyrant.The demeanor of a tyrant!“Y-you-you…are you an orphan?” This time it was Li An's turn to stammer.“Yes, yes.” Xiao Zhantian was also a little uneasy, wondering what had happened to scare him, Li Shen, like this?“From childhood to adulthood? Never seen your parents?” Li An pressed.“Yes, as far back as I can remember, I’ve been in an orphanage. The director told me that one night he heard crying and then saw me, an infant, abandoned at the gate, and then he took me in.”These few words left Li An momentarily bewildered.He scratched his head, his mind filled with countless questions, but so chaotic. Which one should he ask?Aha!Here it comes. "Has anyone told you that your crimson flame is special?"Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhantian laughed and said, "You're overthinking it.""Ever since I was twelve and my talent was discovered, powerful figures from the Starfire Domain have sought me out, wanting to examine my talent.""He told me it was very similar, that my talent resembled that of the legendary Tyrant.""But in reality, they are worlds apart.""The Tyrant's flame is actually a manifestation of spiritual power, a kind of divine will, a power of purpose.""My flame is merely an element, and it doesn't possess the characteristics of the Tyrant's flame.""It's just similar." Li An thought to himself, "Impossible.There must be a connection."He asked again, "What was the name of that powerful figure who sought you out?""I don't know." Xiao Zhantian shook his head. "I haven't been able to find any information about that old man yet, but I'm certain he must be a super powerful figure, capable of causing the world to shimmer with a mere gesture.""An old man? What did he look like?" Li An frowned slightly."Blue hair, that's what I remember most vividly." Li An gasped upon hearing this, "Did anyone else ask you about it later?"Xiao Zhantian: "Yes, but I explained, and they said it was probably a misunderstanding."Li An suddenly fell silent.He was taking deep breaths, suppressing his emotions.Mr. Tianming said he had no connection to the tyrant, but who dared say they did?The truth speaks for itself.Others might be fooled by these few words.But for Li An, the fact that Mr. Tianming had personally sought him out was proof enough!I, Li An, am not blind, nor am I suffering from amnesia. I once shared a single thought with the tyrant; do you think I don't know what he looks like?!Wait.A title once tied to his life surfaced in his mind at this moment.Source of Destiny.Li An stared intently at the young man before him.In the past two years, no one really claimed to be the Source of Destiny anymore; it was only Li An himself who proclaimed it.Perhaps others had also realized that the truth wasn't so.Those shadowy gazes no longer focused on him.Who did they go to?The true Source of Destiny.Li An suddenly changed the subject, asking, "In the past two years, have you experienced anything strange?""For example, you felt like someone was following you, someone was watching you."Xiao Zhantian's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he said, "You... how did you know?""My eyes can see through everything." Li An pointed to his Eye of Dreams, using this as an excuse.But at the same time, he also confirmed one thing in his heart.Now, everyone knows that he is not the Source of Destiny, and those villains who are searching for the Source of Destiny will no longer come looking for this imposter.Therefore, at this juncture, Mr. Tianming delivered the Source of Destiny to his side and, through him, revealed his true identity.Xiao Zhantian—Son of a Tyrant!Li An put away the resume.Xiao Zhantian's heart tightened; this was the most important thing.Would Li An think I was too young and refuse to take me on?Li An turned around and said, "Come with me.""From today onwards, you will stay by my side."Xiao Zhantian's face lit up with joy, but Li An suddenly stopped, turned around, and said seriously, "But I have one condition." "No matter what happens, you absolutely cannot disobey my orders. If you dare to act without authorization, you will be removed from this place!"Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhantian nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, saying, "I wouldn't hesitate to die even if you asked me to!"Li An was immediately exasperated.You're asking me to die?This guy's thinking is messed up.
