Lin Taichu smiled. "Hardship is only to be expected. If you want to grow stronger, how can you avoid suffering?"
The prince nodded, a little more admiration in his eyes. "You have a good mindset. You're unlike those noble young masters who complain the moment they suffer a little. By the way, the weapon you used before was a trident. That's an Atlantis weapon, isn't it? Have you been to Atlantis?"
Lin Taichu was startled. He hadn't expected the Prince to recognize a trident. After considering his words, he said, "I encountered danger at sea before and was rescued by people from Atlantis. I stayed there for a while, and they gave me this trident as a token of thanks."
The Prince gave an acknowledging sound and did not press further. He merely said, "Atlantis is a kingdom in the deep sea. Its people are all skilled in the water. Being able to form a connection with them means you have some fate with them."
Then he changed the subject and asked, "What are your plans next? Do you intend to continue training?"
"Yes," Lin Taichu said. "I feel that my abilities still aren't enough. I want to travel to more places, meet more formidable people, and become stronger."
The prince nodded. "It's good to have ambition. But there's no need to rush your training."
"If you stay at the Prince's Mansion, you can spar with the Guards here in your spare time. They may not be your equal, but they can still help you hone your skills. Besides, I know quite a few people in the Jianghu. When the opportunity comes, I can introduce you to them."
Lin Taichu knew that the Prince was trying to win him over, so he quickly said, "Thank you for your consideration, Prince.
