New found potential

     Lin zhong keeps taunting Robert and then Robert speaks up in a shaking voice

" how....how do you know all this " then Lin zhong pauses for moment and says

" oh so don't you get it , when the crystal fused its power with you , l also fused with you so l took a peek at your memories , do you think without strength that you can defend or protect those who you love , when you sought a solution to end all this you couldn't get any , and a chance have been given to you and you already given up without even trying , how do you Know if you don't even try , face the dark and harsh reality in this your world they is no such thing as a Free man's land , as you think of your self a weakling do think people will give a damn about you, no, if you keep been weak people will trample over you because you are a weakling , you will just be a stepping stone for them , face The dark reality of life , face the dark , let it change you it's like been thrown into the abyss of total darkness , you must fight the darkness to get out , don't let the darkness consume you instead let it change you and make you know how life just is, reach the light as you raise from the abyss of darkness , do you really think you can get to the top without taking the rough road , do you think you win against all odds with your pathetic self ,do you think you can make people see the best part of you without strength and wealth , when an opportunity comes towards you grab it for it comes only once,miss that opportunity you miss your will to live , so the choice is yours to make , what do you fight for , what is your will of fire and now you have the strength and power within your grasp why not make the best of it " Lin zhong tells Robert to his face and the old man keeps quiet then Robert begins to think to himself .

' for all my life I have been seen as a trash , weakling and a loser by others , l couldn't even protect my brothers from bullying , never the less stand up to my bully's , l couldn't step in to protect my parents dignity from been shattered from taunting , l couldn't do anything to protect them , am l just a loser or what ' he says as he tears up.

we are in the 25th century were technology has advanced greatly and making everyday life easy , cities now have a more futuristic looks and design , and transportation has become smooth and fast thanks to the technologically innovation that has changed alot of ways we travel , Al are now intelligent than ever and different gadgets has been upgraded to really smart devices , and every home is a smart home with their own unique Al system , thanks to advanced technology the medical sector has been efficient and more reliable in treating complicated illnesses and new medical equipments and technologies has been made to combat all types of diseases , and drugs are now more efficient than ever , it has been a great changer for mankind , as we been able to combat climate change and reduce it's effect , fossil fuels and nuclear power plants had been shut down and destroyed ,and now we use clean and reliable energy , ensuring a clean and greener future for our planet ,also it has been a giant leap for mankind in the space exploration sector , space flights are now most faster , as better and new spaceships are been faster and flights are more fast , efficient and they travel at hyper Sonic speed , making space exploration easier as mankind is exploring the solar system and stars and planets beyond the milky way , even a space exploration bace called lunar was established on the moon to monitor the Earth's orbit and and any strange unfamiliar sightings even mars has been colonized , humans first landed on mars in 21st century and robots and artificial plant grower's were dispatched to start the Terra forming of mars and now mars has a earth like resemblance , this was mainly done to cub the over population Crisis then on earth Earth's population was reduced from stagaring population of 11.9 billion people to 6 billion people and now earth has a stable population and while mars has a population of 5.9 billion people .

we may all think we are in a technologically advanced and peaceful era but that's wrong military weapons are getting more deadly , nuclear warheads are now more destructive than ever thanks to new tech , they are still dictators around the world and leaders who are hungry for more power to rule their people with an iron hand , what if they wage war against each other to try and bring the other down how many people will suffer , how many lives will be lost , what damage Will it bring how destructive will it be , then Robert imagines

a war scene .

he walks in middle of a city street that is badly damaged , explosions are heard every were, as buildings crumble and people running for their lives , sounds of gunshots could be heard , and then multiple rain of bullets are fired on civilians, as bodies drop to the floor , people's body parts littered every were , he feels like the whole world turned to a living hell , in front of him was a bloody massacre of innocent civilians , both the bodies of women and children littered the floor , and the soliders kept firing , but still yet he couldn't do anything to save to them then he turns back and sees his family in the middle of the war as they call out to him to run he notices a missile heading for them , he runs towards to try and protect them from the incoming missile , he runs as fast as he could but his legs couldn't carry him any faster , he stretches out his hand to them as he gets closer to them but then the missile lands on them and he is blown away by the impact and shockwave as he flys in mid and lands badly on the road as multiple cracking sound came from his body as his whole body's bone was broken and he was in a bloody mess but was barely alive , he couldn't move , he laid there helplessly and could only watch his family die in front of him , the explosions was great that their remains couldn't be seen , Robert could only cry then he closed his eyes , as the people he swore to protect were killed in front of him and he couldn't do anything .

so that's the way it is without strength

l can't win nor fight back but now l have chance l can turn the tables and be able to fight back and also stand strong against all odds , he felt like he was in an empty void and then he snapped back to reality

" what the heck did just experience now Mr Lin zhong " Robert asks him as he breathing heavily and tears filled his and he clenched his fist tightly as anger raged inside him he remembers all the awful times

" looks like your inner mind had shown you what it's like when you are without power and strength , you just lose those around you , your inner mind is a way of conquering your fears " the old man says as he strokes his beard

then Robert falls on his knees and kowtow's to Lin zhong saying

"Master Lin zhong please accept me as your disciple and l accept the mission , please master Lin zhong guide me on the path of cultivation and teach me to be a great warrior " he says respectfully then Lin zhong looks at him and says

" get up now boy l accept you as my disciple, your tears aren't weakness but a sign of a new found potential in you , so your training begins from these night , and one thing you need to have the crystal by side all times, so Know what you fighting for and your will of fire " Lin zhong tells Robert who was full of determination and affirms to Lin zhong words and Roberts path of cultivation begins .
