Alright, **readers**, let's recap.
- I **dominated** the elite training grounds.
- I **crushed** the strongest Luo geniuses.
- I **walked through** every challenge like it was a warm-up.
- And now?
I was **exhausted.**
Yeah, I know—shocking, right?
The **Earth Shattering Hand** was powerful, but using it **too much**?
It drained me like crazy.
And guess who **wasn't happy about that?**
**My father.**

### **Luo Tian's Wrath**
Back at the Luo estate, I barely had time to catch my breath before my **father's voice boomed.**
"Zin."
I turned my head slowly.
Luo Tian stood there, arms crossed, his **aura pressing down on me like a mountain.**
Uh-oh.
I **casually** tried to walk past him. "Hey, Father! Great day, huh?"
A hand landed **on my shoulder.**
Oh. I was **not escaping this.**
He **leaned down**, staring straight into my eyes.
"What," he said slowly, "did I tell you about **overusing** the Earth Shattering Hand?"
I cleared my throat. "Uh… that it's amazing?"
"ZIN."
I flinched.
Fine. No escaping.

### **The Lecture of a Lifetime**
Luo Tian exhaled sharply. "Do you even realize how much energy that technique consumes? You were barely standing after the Bloodsteel Arena match!"
I tried to argue. "But I won."
"**At what cost?**" His voice was sharp. "If you were in a real battle, would you have survived after exhausting yourself?"
I didn't answer.
Because I **knew the truth.**
I had been so focused on **overpowering everyone** that I hadn't considered the **consequences**.
If I kept relying on **one technique**, I'd become **predictable**.
And in this world, predictability meant **death.**
Luo Tian's gaze softened slightly. "I won't stop you from using it, but you need to **control** it. Learn other techniques. Master your endurance. Otherwise, even a monster like you will fall."
I sighed. "Fine, fine. I get it."
His smirk returned. "Good. Because someone else is about to teach you."
I blinked. "What?"
And then—
A **new voice** entered the room.

### **The Great Elder's Arrival**
"Luo Zin."
I turned.
Standing at the entrance was **Great Elder Luo Cheng**.
The oldest, wisest, and **most powerful elder** of the Luo Family.
His **eyes** held the weight of **decades of experience.**
And for the first time in a long while, I felt… **curious.**
He studied me for a moment before speaking.
"I have watched your growth," he said. "Your talent is undeniable. But raw power alone is not enough."
He stepped forward.
"You rely too much on **overwhelming force.** A true warrior must be versatile."
I tilted my head. "So what, you're here to scold me too?"
Luo Cheng chuckled. "No. I am here to train you personally."

### **A New Path Begins**
The **entire room** went silent.
Even my **father's eyes widened slightly.**
Because the **Great Elder had never taken a personal disciple before.**
And now?
He was offering to **teach me.**
A slow grin spread across my face. "Now this… sounds interesting."
Luo Cheng smirked. "Then prepare yourself. Because starting tomorrow, your real training begins."
I clenched my fists.
A new path was opening before me.
And I **couldn't wait to walk it.**

### **Ending Hook**
Luo Zin has **caught the attention of the Great Elder**, marking a new turning point in his journey.
But what techniques will he learn? And how brutal will his training be?
