Chapter 442: Frog in the Well (2/2)

Xue Wei wanted to get stronger and improve his fighting ability alongside igniting his potential. If he stayed within the main camp, he would be wasting time.

It took them an extra day to reach the main camp. The main camp was located in a city that had been emptied of civilians. All the houses within the city now gave shelter to the soldiers.

As they landed just outside the city, they found that a general was waiting for them. This was not one of the generals that Xue Wei had worked with previously, this was a genuine King ranked expert, and he was not to be belittled.

Most of the soldiers looked at him with reverence and slight fear. Their goal in life was to become an Emperor or a King, but they knew how difficult this task was.

They were not even aware of the ranks above the Emperor, only Xue Wei and his friends knew of the vast world beyond their own, and the reason they knew about it was because Xue Wei had been in contact with Hui Yue and Lan.

These two experts were on another level than the ones within this world, and Xue Wei understood that he should not clip his own wings. He should not aim for the Emperor rank but aim for the world that was outside, for the many worlds that he could enter when he became a deity.

He now understood that there was no 'strongest' rank; one could always grow stronger; it was just that the stage that would change.

Xue Wei did not look down on the other experts, whose aim was to become a King or Emperor ranked expert, as his goal was similar to theirs, once upon a time.

It was just that now he knew that he was once upon a time a frog in a well. The frog thought that the well was the whole world, until the day where it ventured outside and noticed that there was a world on the other side, and that his entire world was but a fraction of the real world.

But although Xue Wei was aware that all these soldiers were like the frog in the well, he was not planning on telling them the truth.

They were happy with their goals in life, and while some might become even more driven by hearing the truth about the worlds beyond their own, others would despair.

Also, he was not a person who would like to invite trouble. He did not care for the people he did not deem his own, and thus he was not interested in helping them out, especially not since they might become mad and turn on him when the things they believed in were shaken up in front of them.

While Xue Wei was looking at them all with narrowed eyes, the two men who had led them to the main army camp saluted the King ranked general, before they, and the many Golden-Winged Eagles, all flew away in the air.

Now the groups of soldiers were on their own, standing in front of the strongest expert they had encountered in their time within the army.
