For the very first time, Xiao Ming could feel the fetus of an inner demon in his heart due to those devastating words Shen Wu had said. He could not help examining himself again to reflect on his previous actions through out the year.
"How could I still remain mortal when even the smallest child in the clan has at least the Spirit Condensation stage cultivation? Is there any risks involved with my cultivation that bars Uncle Xiao to let me cultivate? My physique?... Could it have been complicated and affected my foundation and crippling my spiritual base?..." Xiao Ming asked himself a barrage of questions in his thoughts. He had to rectify this problem once and for all and prove that Shen Wu wrong.
"I don't believe I'll resign to fate and continue living as a mortal. My legends and deeds would never be written off the sands of time. I'll never live a short and unfulfilled life... haha" Xiao Ming roared later on with a satisfactory mocking laughter.
