"If Shaxon had truly intended to take him as an apprentice, he wouldn't have waited until today," Carl said, gently shaking his head. "In my hometown, there's a saying: 'An empty ear of grain often holds its head high, while a full one always bows to the ground.' Those with wisdom always possess the humility to bow their heads. It's just that some people overdo it."
Burn chuckled upon hearing this. That was true enough.
Those who wanted to take Shaxon as an apprentice mostly did so with an attitude of charity, grandly calling it a test. Unfortunately, the people from the Tower were straightforward. They directly accepted anyone with talent and would consider character later. This perplexed those who had been keen on taking Shaxon as a disciple. But there was no helping it; joining the Six Rings Tower offered the chance to go to the Kaliem Continent. Everyone knew what choice to make.
