He knew that to survive in this dog-eat-dog world rife with conspiracies, while strength was crucial, adaptability was just as important.
Because of this, an undercurrent of Slaughter and cold severity unknowingly took root in Long Ao's character.
Seemingly impressed, Kuang Ao spoke with a detached air. "I've heard your story. I must say, you're quite a special case. I'm surprised—why couldn't you achieve an Endless Cycle of Inner Strength ten years ago?"
"I don't know either."
"The matter is indeed peculiar. However, I greatly admire your persistence and refusal to give up. Not everyone could be like you."
Long Ao just smiled and said nothing.
「Nebula City.」
