Taking in a Disciple?

================¶¶================

"I will make you strong enough to clear the Sword Tower and become a Core Disciple in three months," Arthur declared.

These words took Balor by surprise, leaving him momentarily speechless.

"What?!" Balor managed to utter in response.

Arthur had just proposed something that seemed utterly impossible.

Balor knew that his talent was mediocre at best. His only strength lay in his unwavering willpower, but he believed it wouldn't be sufficient.

His cultivation would always lag behind the true geniuses. Balor was among the few who knew that Arthur hadn't concealed his true strength but had achieved his current level of cultivation in just six months.

Whenever Balor attempted to compare himself to Arthur, he couldn't help but feel inadequate. He recognized that his leader belonged to an entirely different league.

They were worlds apart.

Meanwhile, Arthur, aware of Balor's thoughts, smiled and said, "You heard me correctly."
