Chapter 706 - Confusion (2/2)

The higher one’s vision was, the more one would realize that there were things in this world not understood through common sense!

“I want to increase my strength immediately.” Xiao Luo now had a great desire for strength.

“Sure. I admire young people like you the most.”

Elder Long stroked his nonexistent beard and said with a smile, “However, I have not the ability to raise your strength in a short period, so the only choice for you is to go to Mount Tianshan.”

Mount Tianshan?

To find Gu Qianxue’s master?

Xiao Luo frowned unconsciously and asked, “Do you mean Tianshan Elder?”

“Yes, she is my junior sister and is good at cultivating potential greatness in a person’s body. Since you have awakened the Xiao Clan bloodline’s power, as long as you cultivate and improve the bloodline power of yours, your strength will be comparable to the four major kings of the Light Clan,” Elder Long said and nodded stiffly.

Gu Qianxue’s master was the Guardian’s junior sister?

The revelation stunned Xiao Luo for quite a while before he came back to his senses. He had already expected the Tianshan Elder was someone who had a powerful background, but he never expected her to be the junior sister of the guardian. Just like the guardian, she was an old monster that had lived for thousands of years.

…

…

Before going to Tianshan, Xiao Luo called Zhang Dashan and his younger sister, Xiao Ruyi, and instructed them to manage Luo’s Workshop and Jin Yitang well. As for Su Xiaobei, she had Su Canye and Mother Su, who had already changed drastically, so there was no need to worry about her.

And Lady Poison, Fu Yiren, was lying in a crystal coffin in NSA’s technology building, soaked in a fragrant poison. Her eyes were closed, just like sleeping beauty, and her breathing was shallow.

Elder Long told him that Fu Yiren had a unique physical constitution due to the toxins in her body. She did not die after receiving that palm strike. Instead, she fell into a kind of unconscious state, which was a self-preservation mechanism of her physical constitution and needed to be nourished with poison. It was only a matter of time before she awoke.

This made Xiao Luo feel more assured and less guilty.

Walking with Ji Siying down the main road of the NSA headquarters, Xiao Luo kept his head down, frowning as he thought about something.

He had his reservations about the system that had fused within him. The so-called berserk state of the system was the awakening state of his bloodline power. And if the system kept repeating that this was a gift, but not the power of the Xiao clan bloodline, then who was the liar? Was it Xiao Quanren from Luo Village, or was it the system?

The answer was obvious—the system was lying!

In the beginning, the system claimed that it came from a parallel universe where the technology there was 100,000 years ahead of his time. However, if it was 100,000 years ahead, why couldn’t it give him the ability to defeat the King of Swords from Light Clan? After all, it was enough to destroy this world easily.

Could there be a mastermind behind all of this?

What was the truth?

Xiao Luo frowned. When he recounted the abilities exchanged in the system, he realized that most of them were directly or indirectly related to strength. Although there were thousands of abilities in the system, the abilities he redeemed seemed to have a specific trend of evolution, and it was to increase his strength. In the end, he even got the strongest power the system could give him.

Suppose there was a mastermind behind this who constantly pushed him to become stronger. Then, what was the goal of this mastermind?
