To be fair, Di Nuosi was not bad. Among the younger generation, he could be considered decent, but he was definitely not among the top-tier talents. Among the younger heirs of the various Magic Beast Master families of the same generation, Di Nuosi was probably the worst.
The reason outsiders thought he could seemingly be compared with them was entirely because Li An De La, as clan leader, had abused her authority for personal gain, investing a huge amount of resources in her own son. This included top-grade Mental Strength nourishment potions that even Star-level experts could not enjoy.
With such a vast amount of resources piled onto him, Di Nuosi's performance was honestly somewhat disappointing. The other Magic Beast Master families had complicated internal power structures and many younger disciples to support. Although direct-line descendants received somewhat more resources, the difference was not excessive. It was completely impossible for one person to monopolize the resources of most of the younger generation the way Di Nuosi had.
Yet even after so many resources had been poured into him, he had only barely caught up with the direct-line descendants of those families. He could only be described as average—not so hopeless that he was beyond saving, but as for carrying the future of the family, honestly, no one was optimistic about him. With Di Nuosi's aptitude, reaching the Life Sea was virtually impossible. Like his mother, the middle stage of the Star level was already the ceiling of his life. And that was only because he had been born into this family. If he had been born a commoner, even reaching the Dragon level would have been questionable...
So, to return to the question, was Di Nuosi worthy?
From an impartial perspective, naturally he was not. With the Wood Elf Emperor
