Hello.

In a certain empire lives Han Nao, the son of a famous general, famous for his desire to eat, his laziness, his detachment from life and his ability to write wise sayings in an outstanding, calligraphic handwriting. In addition to eating, he likes to read and watch crystal movies with descriptions of heroes' exploits. In fact, the prologue describes the plot of one of them).

It goes without saying that such a great man cannot languish in obscurity, and sooner or later he will also become equal to the heroes of these stories. A great teacher will come, immediately see his talent and give him a pill that will awaken his Tyrant Body and make him break through to the Core stage, perhaps even higher. Of course, he is ready to make sacrifices and if the pill will be bitter - it's nothing, he will just drink it with something sweet. In the meantime, he'll write something clever...

++Life is a never-ending battle, and one must defeat oneself every day!

But from the point of view of his father and everyone around him, he is a lowly pig, a disgrace to his ancestors, unwilling to train his spiritual power under the pretext of "poor health" and under the protection of his doting mother. However, he is ready to train, but not very hard and certainly not today. First he has to eat a five-course dinner, finish the crystal with the hero's exploits, and tomorrow... Well, no, not next week. On this occasion, by the way, it wouldn't hurt to write something wise.....

++If you are worthy, you are worthy - and that is enough!

By the way, I really like the statements, and the way they fit with reality is very ironic.

So one (not so) lucky day, the youngest Qi Grandmaster in the empire agrees to be his mentor and starts training him. Brutal, ruthless, using sticks, fists, and hunger. After all, weakness and laziness are only temporary hardships!

Our MC immediately realizes that this teacher is actually a vile villain who deceived the Emperor, his father, and everyone around him to poison his life - the most worthy of people. The situation is aggravated by the fact that the villain likes to use MC's phrases out of place, misquotes characters from his favorite crystals, and, in general, is disgusting on the face, devoid of taste, manners, mercy, and any virtues inherent in a noble man.

But there is no choice, and he starts to train, dreaming of someday becoming strong enough to defeat the despicable teacher. However, what the hero can't deny is determination, so he tries to defeat him regularly, but without much success. Evil is strong and ruthless...

After some time, the hero becomes stronger but does not feel happy because ahead of him are waiting for training, training, and more training. And his heart is broken... This is the turning point in the story.

I'll dispense with spoilers, but the hero leaves the manor and begins his journey to strength, exploits, and revenge. The way it happened surprised me. But in fact, already in the middle of the book, the idea is approximately clear - and yet it is interesting enough that these guesses do not interfere with the enjoyment of the story, full of irony, jokes, and quite a strong plot. Besides, who's to say this conjecture is correct? Let's do it without spoilers.

If you've read xianxia and other books in related genres, you'll find quite a few amusing references.

It's a 9/10 for me, straight up highly recommend giving it a try. Just read at least a couple chapters, not just the prologue. The prologue is not about the protagonist at all, it just shows on what stories he made a picture of the world around him. And, spoiler - those stories are very far from reality. And, at the same time, close to it.
