"Hey, look! Isn't that Lin Tian?"
"Where? Let me see."
The two looked across the street at a boy dressed in white. He kept walking, seeming to be in a hurry.
"That's definitely him! I heard he just awakened Authority [Mind's Eye]? Doesn't that make him useless?"
The boy beside him seemed displeased. "Lin Tian's parents died for their country. He's the son of heroes. For that alone, you can't call him useless!"
"Besides, weren't you the one who said he was your role model?"
"Oh, give me a break! Him, the son of heroes? In my eyes, he's nothing but trash."
The other boy wanted to defend Lin Tian a little more, but he was cut off immediately.
"Stop making excuses for him! Trash like him doesn't deserve to be my role model!"
With that, he left without looking back. As he watched Lin Tian's departing figure, a flash of purplish-black light flickered through his gloomy eyes...
Throughout Yatuo City, people sang praises of Lin Tian's parents' heroic deeds. With mortal bodies, they had slain gods against all odds, shocking the entire nation. Lin Tian had therefore been given the title of "son of heroes."
Countless people envied and admired him, taking Lin Tian as their role model. Everyone believed he would inherit his parents' Authorities and perhaps even surpass them in one stroke, becoming a new generation of powerhouse on East God Star!
But everything changed three days ago, when Lin Tian awakened his Authority. No one could believe that their former role model had awakened the weakest Authority! No one could accept that they had idolized someone so useless!
For a time, curses rose from every side. Lin Tian went from being admired by all to being mocked by all. His talent became a topic of conversation.
