Chapter 756: Struck OutTranslator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
What did extraordinary humans hold in the highest regard? Power? Wealth? Their own strength?
It was none of these. Their systems were all they held in the highest regard.
As long as their systems were still around, even if they had lost everything, they could still reclaim it all.
As long as their systems were still around, they would still have room for further improvement and bright futures before them.
Their systems represented hope.
So, having his system cut off made Tom feel as if his life had lost all hope.
In actuality, Fang Xingjian had only cut off the Wolf God system from Tom. So, Tom retained the abilities he had gotten from the werewolves’ physique, Ghost Wolves’ physiques, and hellhounds’ physiques through the system. He still possessed the power he had from before.
However, having these were useless. It was because losing his system meant he had also lost all possibility of improving.
Having his system cut off by Fang Xingjian made Tom feel as if his spine had been broken. He grovelled before Fang Xingjian, begging and imploring Fang Xingjian to return his system to him.
‘Relying on the system in the long term brings about endless confidence and strength. However, it seems that it’s also because of this that when one’s system is robbed from them, they would also break down faster than anyone else.’
Fang Xingjian could not be bothered with Tom and kicked out, sending Tom flying several tens of meters away till he landed on the lawn outside the hall.
Outside the lawn, the second generation huge wolf, that Fang Xingjian had captured as his watchdog, was groveling on the ground. Seeing the people passing by and hearing all the news that had been spreading around the past few days made him both excited and restless.
His excitement was naturally because he could witness the downfall of the Douglas family.
The restless feeling was, of course, because he would also targeted by the attacks.
‘I wonder how is Tom, my master?’
Just as this huge wolf was thinking about his previous master, Tom landed on the lawn before him with a loud thud.
The huge wolf immediately perked up and got to his feet. “Master? Are you here to save me?”
However, how could Tom possibly care about him at this moment? Tom’s mind was currently filled with the thought of how he had lost his system. Almost at the moment he landed on the ground, Tom scrambled up like a dog, crawled backed to the hall, and continued to kneel before Fang Xingjian.
The huge wolf followed Tom and immediately saw a scene which he found unbelievable. ‘My master…’
Tom continued to stay sprawled on the ground while imploring, “I beg of you, please return my system to me. I promise that I’ll never go against you or the Douglas family ever again. I’ll do whatever you want me to.”
When the many extraordinary humans in the hall saw this scene, not only did they feel terrified, they also had the feeling of a fox mourning for the death of a hare. They also possessed systems of their own. So, they could not imagine how despaired they would be if they were to lose their systems despite retaining their current powers.
However, those who had these thoughts did not include the three magnates from the Radiant Congress and Cyrus. The former three had determinations of steel, and having made progress for many years, they would still be as powerful and full of potential without their systems. The latter, on the other hand, hated his own system.
However, the ability Fang Xingjian displayed of being able to seize systems still caused them to go on an emotional roller coaster.
The one person who was the most terrified at the moment was Tang Song, who was still in Fang Xingjian’s hands. Looking at Tom, Tang Song was also filled with despair. He thought of how it would feel worse than death to have his system robbed from him.
