Chapter 1084: Awakening, A Myriad of Changes (III)
Zhang An floated away, coming to a place within the ancient town where many student puppets dwelled. Some were playing cards, others were idly chatting, and a couple were reading. They had nothing else to do while trapped in their puppet bodies. Life was too boring!
“Teacher!” Everyone rose when they saw Zhang An.
“All of you know of my thoughts on this matter,” Zhang An said calmly. “Li Hao will be crafting bodies of modern humans today. There are four spots available to us in this first batch. That’s not a lot, so who is willing to have a body of the new age?
“I’ve mentioned it before, but I will explain it again. If you accept a body of new humanity, Li Hao is the discoverer of the new dao. He knows best how many and where the dao meridians are. He might be making that knowledge public now, but he may not be willing to announce newly discovered dao meridians in the future.
“He will not display all of his secrets indefinitely! Therefore, the only way to keep up with the times is to set the past behind!” intoned the dean. “Step forward if you are ready to make the decision. If not, do not put yourself up for the opportunity! Save it for those who need it.”
“Then if we are to attack New Martial...” asked one of the student puppets after a prolonged silence.
“Then attack!” Zhang An answered. “The modern age is your side since you have pledged yourself to it. Are you to withdraw from your own path? Blowing hot and cold, being of two minds about a decision is the most dangerous and wicked!”
“Then... if we meet those of our father or ancestor’s generation...”
“There will be no pointless fighting,” Zhang An frowned. “Li Hao is not that kind of person! If there really comes a day in which that occurs... then choose your family! I recommend choosing your family over loyalty, and choosing loyalty over affiliation. Family is greater than loyalty, loyalty is greater than affiliation. That is what is meant to be a human being!”
Some breathed out with relief at his words.
“Then teacher means that if... battle doesn’t involve our family, just the modern remnants of New Martial, then... we can let loose and really fight?”
