Chapter 97: Father and Son Betray Each Other
"Shen! Do you know what you just said?! Admit your mistake now!"
Jie stood up from the ground in an instant, looked at Shen in disbelief, and stretched out his hand, trying to press Shen to the ground.
But Shen opened his hand.
"No, Jie, I am very sober, because I understand one thing."
Shen looked at his father who was also standing there in a daze, and spoke word by word.
"Because I am the son of Master Ku Shuo, I have more opportunities to try and fail than others, and I have more and better conditions. What is easily available to me, for you, requires you to give up your dignity and make every effort to obtain it!"
He still can't forget that night.
That was the night when his father was going to accept Jie as his disciple. At that time, Jie was not this glorious name representing discipline and self-restraint, but Gou Fu.
The name of a farmer's son, similar to Ergou's name in the Earth world.
At that time, Jie came to the Temple of Balance and kept doing odd jobs. His thin body was doing the work of an adult, but no master of the Balance sect wanted to teach him.
Because his foundation is too weak.
Most martial artists start training at the age of four or five, and by the time they are seven or eight, they have become accustomed to the increasing difficulty and volume of training.
When Jie arrived at the temple of Hengjun, he was the same age as him, twelve years old.
This is an age when one has definitely missed the best time to learn martial arts.
In terms of habits, character, and physique, how can a farmer's son compare to a family with warriors from all generations?
This is not something that can be changed by simply removing hair and cleansing marrow. Qualification is one aspect, but character and habits are the most important.
A person who has practiced martial arts since childhood will definitely have greater endurance for martial arts than an ordinary person who has never practiced martial arts, and his body will be able to easily withstand increased training.
Moreover, he was thin and small, and looked malnourished.
So, after his father revealed the idea of taking him as his apprentice, he almost risked his life to become his father's apprentice - his father asked him to fight against Jie, who had never learned martial arts. Although he showed mercy, when his father approved of Jie, Jie was no longer recognizable as a human being. Not only did he lie in bed for a whole month, he could only drink soup while in bed.
There was no other way. He couldn't let his father off. Once he did, Jie would no longer have any hope of being accepted into the sect.
But what is the result?
The young man named Goufu proved himself through his own efforts and will, proving that he deserves the balanced magic and martial arts, and deserves the highest honor "Eye of Twilight".
And the son of Twilight Eyes, the proud child in everyone's eyes, was not overshadowed by the other party's efforts and will? !
So!
How many people are buried like Jie and Gou Fu? !
Shen was very dissatisfied with this. Ionia's system was too backward. Just as what was said in the book, when other countries and nations were moving towards the next social stage, Ionia could not even be considered a feudal society!
The world is filled with all kinds of unfair, inhumane rules and tests!
Although some of them are necessary, what he sees more are the pathetic iron chains set by interests, partisanship, inferiority complex and fear of being surpassed!
These iron chains continue to devour the lives of Ionia's young people and continue to devour the hope of this land.
Therefore, he will judge this unjust world and those ignorant rules that prevent this world from becoming a better place!
Ordinary people don’t know which rules still need to be followed, which rules no longer need to be followed, which rules are for their own good, and which rules are meant to restrict them in order to make them more obedient.
But he knows! He has eyes that can see the spiritual world and the real world clearly, he has powerful force, he has a companion who sees everything clearly and starts to work hard, and he has this firm heart that fights for the happiness of others!
So, he will be the judge!
"Shen! Do you know what you are saying?!"
Ku was furious, looking at his rebellious son, his idea was to let Shen follow the source of trouble named Li Ke, so that he could realize more clearly the importance of the Discipline of Balance and become a qualified and outstanding disciple of the Discipline of Balance.
But Shen let him down!
He wants to skip the Law of Balance and become a god!
"Of course I know! Father, the world is always changing, but the Order of the Balance has never changed. Is this really a balance?!"
Shen looked at his father and even felt like he was looking down on him.
"Or, father, can you firmly believe that every rule you enforce is correct?!"
Ku Shuo took a deep breath and covered his chest. He pointed at his son tremblingly, unable to believe that his son dared to question his honor, the glory and discipline he had fought for his entire life!
But the judge just added another blow.
"You are just a person who is bound by the glory and rules of the old times and is unwilling to move forward!"
Ku said that the magic sword in his hand fell to the ground. He covered his chest and breathed rapidly, thinking in his mind what went wrong to make his son, who had always been very obedient and well-behaved, become so rebellious.
A leader who questions his father's words, questions his master's words, and questions the ideals he is loyal to!
But even so, he still hoped to convince his son.
"Because we're human! Humans can only do so much!"
Most of the rules of the Order of the Balance came from this, because humans have their limits, and in the face of cruel reality, they can only stick to what they can stick to and do what they can.
Although it is inhumane, thousands of years of inheritance tell them that it is right.
However, the judge still has his own opinion.
"But father! You think you are God! Only God can tell how much a human can accomplish! And your answer admits that you also have doubts about the law of balance!"
Ku said he felt like he couldn't breathe, and Shen felt the same way. He didn't want to turn against his father, but the concepts and ideas he saw from Li Ke, as well as the obviously effective path, caused him to diverge from the path he had always believed in.
In the eyes of Shen who was suffocating, the person in front of him was not only his father, but also himself who adhered to the Law of Balance. He was accusing himself together with his father of being unfilial and destroying the Law of Balance.
However, the more he thought about what he had seen, the more determined his eyes became, and the 'Shen' standing next to his father became more and more illusory.
Finally, balanced disciple Shen.
Completely disappeared.
He slowly drew out his steel knife and assumed a stance imitating Li Ke's.
"Come on, father, either kill me or let me go."
Ku closed his eyes in pain and pulled out his steel knife.
he wants……
Clean up the house!
