Chapter 996: Perfect Bloodline
The disciples of the Ancestor of Wisdom were all exceptionally gifted and extraordinarily intelligent. They undoubtedly stood at the pinnacle among the countless Reaper clans.
However, they had devoted all of their talent to learning. They had poured all their time into research. They studied humanity and explored the path of evolution. Thus, their individual combat strength was rather average.
"How do you survive in the world of Reapers without great strength?" Li Xiaofei had posed this question to Link out of sheer curiosity.
Link responded with a faint smile and replied, "Strong? Are we stronger than the Ancestor of Wisdom, our teacher?"
Li Xiaofei was momentarily stunned.
Link continued, "With the protection of our teacher, the Ancestor of Wisdom, our safety is guaranteed. We only need to act according to his will."
Li Xiaofei nodded in agreement. The reasoning was sound. Li Xiaofei remained on the Sacred Mountain for the next several dozen days.
He kept to himself, rarely venturing out. Aside from cultivating, he focused on familiarizing himself with every accessible area of the Sacred Mountain, excluding the restricted zones.
He even trained alongside Link and the others. He observed their research up close. Because of their absolute trust and loyalty toward the Ancestor of Wisdom, Link and the other disciples did not shy away from Li Xiaofei’s presence. On the contrary, they eagerly shared their research findings with him and engaged in discussions together.
"Very few people are willing to seriously listen to us talk about these 'useless' matters, even though these studies are personally led by the Ancestor of Wisdom. Almost none of the King-ranked or clan leaders show any interest," Link said in delight.
