"Grandpa, how am I doing with my training?"
"Hmm! Not bad!!"
Xiang Yan had no further comments on Xiang Yu's performance.
This was because he was already deeply disappointed. Xiang Yu truly couldn't compare to Lin Tian.
Therefore, no matter how Xiang Yu demonstrated his skills, Xiang Yan could not be satisfied.
After all, Xiang Yu couldn't even match Lin Tian in martial prowess, let alone in other aspects.
If Xiang Yu had surpassed Lin Tian in military talent, Xiang Yan would have already replaced his own position and become a great general like Lin Tian.
Thus, although Xiang Yu seemed to be inferior to Lin Tian in one aspect, in reality, he was inferior in all aspects.
This also meant that all of Xiang Yan's hopes had been dashed.
His desire for Xiang Yu to revitalize the Xiang clan now seemed like a mere fantasy.
In such a situation, Xiang Yan's words were perfunctory.
After saying a few casual words, he left.
Xiang Yu found this situation inexplicable and somewhat at a loss.
He didn't understand why Xiang Yan appeared so disinterested, even though he had exerted his full effort and was stronger than before.
He then shifted his gaze to Xiang Liang and saw disappointment on his uncle's face as well.
This finally made him unable to hold back his questions.
"Uncle, is there something wrong with my performance? I feel like I've become stronger?"
"It's not that there's something wrong with you, it's just... alas! Child, if you can live well in the future, then live well. Our Chu kingdom has no chance to rise again!"
"How can that be? Even if the King of Chu surrenders, our Xiang clan can still lead Chu to a comeback!"
"It's impossible. As long as Lin Tian is in Qin, we will have no chance to rise again. None of us can match Qin's Lin Tian!!"
At this moment, Xiang Liang couldn't help but sigh.
Xiang Yu was also the hope of the Xiang clan in his heart, but after seeing Xiang Yu's performance, he felt his hope was extinguished.
This was because he also felt that Xiang Yu's performance was far inferior to Qin's Lin Tian.
Moreover, Qin's Lin Tian was so young, his existence alone would definitely suppress Xiang Yu for a lifetime.
This made Xiang Liang pity Xiang Yu, and at the same time, he had to remind Xiang Yu not to think about restoring Chu in the future, but to just focus on surviving.
Because as long as Lin Tian was in Qin, he would have no opportunity to restore Chu.
Their Xiang clan would never rise again.
Lin Tian's existence was simply too invincible.
When Xiang Yu heard Xiang Liang's words, he finally understood why Xiang Yan was dissatisfied.
This made Xiang Yu very angry, filled with a sense of injustice.
He then loudly questioned Xiang Liang.
"I had indeed heard of Lin Tian's name before. They all said he was the Sword God of Qin!"
"But even so, can his swordsmanship truly compare to my spear technique?"
"If I were on my warhorse, could he withstand even one of my spear thrusts?"
Xiang Yu's ability to lift a tripod was one of his most prominent advantages.
Therefore, he spoke his mind directly, claiming Lin Tian couldn't withstand a single thrust.
After all, his personal strength alone reached over a thousand jin, and with the charge of his warhorse, Xiang Yu was confident he could cripple both Lin Tian and his horse.
He didn't believe Lin Tian's strength would surpass his own.
At this moment, he was even more eager to gain Xiang Liang's affirmation.
However, upon hearing his words, Xiang Liang still shook his head helplessly.
"It's not enough. Although your abilities far exceed those of ordinary people, they are still insufficient compared to Lin Tian!"
"You might think Lin Tian cannot withstand your spear thrust, but I tell you explicitly, Lin Tian can cleave open a city gate with a single sword!"
"In terms of strength, he should also crush you!"
Strength was one of Xiang Yu's greatest advantages, but this advantage seemed to be no advantage at all in front of Lin Tian.
Not to mention, Lin Tian's killing power was even greater than Xiang Yu's.
Therefore, in terms of comparison, Xiang Yu had no comparison.
Upon hearing Xiang Liang's words, Xiang Yu was stunned.
Originally, strength was one of his greatest sources of pride.
He also didn't believe that anyone in this world possessed greater strength than him.
But after hearing that Lin Tian had cleaved open a city gate with a single sword, he had to ponder this matter.
Did Lin Tian's strength truly surpass his own?
To cleave open a city gate with a single sword, how much strength would that require?
Xiang Yu couldn't figure this out, but deep down, he still yearned for a duel with Lin Tian.
"I don't believe that Lin Tian has completely surpassed me. One day, I will test my skill against that Lin Tian!"
Xiang Liang's words ignited a surge of anger in Xiang Yu's heart. He felt compelled to have a match with Lin Tian.
Fueled by this anger, Xiang Yu trained even more diligently.
He seemed to have envisioned Lin Tian as his imaginary opponent, so with every move of his spear training, he exerted immense force, aiming for vital points.
After he had trained for a considerable time, a guard from the Xiang clan suddenly rushed in with a report, panic-stricken.
"This is bad! The Qin army has arrived! The Qin army has surrounded our Xiang clan!"
"Defend! Everyone, quickly defend!"
Such shouts reached the ears of countless people, instantly triggering a chain reaction.
"What? The Qin army is attacking? How is that possible?"
"It's over, it's over! Our Xiang clan is finished! The Qin army is attacking, how can our Xiang clan resist?"
"I knew it, I knew our Xiang clan couldn't escape. It's true, it's true!"
Although most members of the Xiang clan were soldiers, they were filled with fear towards the Qin army.
Firstly, the Qin army's combat record was too brilliant, and anyone would be intimidated.
Secondly, they were not a true army. Although they possessed some strength, their numbers and formations were vastly inferior to the Qin army.
Now, with the Qin army poised to annihilate them, it was a devastating blow.
With their current strength, they could not withstand the army's encirclement.
Therefore, at this moment, they were filled with despair.
However, at this time, some individuals displayed different reactions.
Among them, Xiang Yu's reaction was completely different from everyone else's. Xiang Yu was not filled with fear or despair; on the contrary, he was very excited.
"What? The Qin army is attacking? Is Qin's Lin Tian with them?"
"Today, I will definitely have a showdown with Qin's Lin Tian! Let's see who is more formidable!"
He had been eagerly anticipating a battle with Lin Tian just moments ago, and now the Qin army had arrived.
In his eyes, this was an opportunity bestowed by heaven for him to fight Lin Tian.
