The human head silhouette was very clear, highlighting the ntorship-apprenticeship system that Awakened individuals were fervently dedicated to the original cultivation thods.
In fact, the ntor-apprentice system was once quite popular in the Imperial, giving off the vibe that "only Awakened individuals who engage with this system have class."
However, the Imperial rulers discovered it was too easy to form factions this way, so they carried out targeted suppression.
Under such deliberate suppression, this trend quickly faded away.
Now, those who can maintain the ntor-apprentice system are basically fanatics of the system.
Thinking of this, it couldn’t help but ask, "May I ask if your ntor is still alive?"
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes upon hearing this, "Are we that close? If you don’t show so sincerity, I’m really leaving."
The human head silhouette pondered for a mont, then spoke, "This array is very important to , na your terms."
"Don’t even think about the array," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Are you waiting for to restore my cultivation level, then co and take it by force?"
It even guessed that? The human head silhouette was a bit surprised upon hearing this: It knew I want to rely on the array to restore my cultivation level?
However, it thought about it and didn’t find it strange; true strength cannot be bragged about, it must co with corresponding abilities.
Yet, it couldn’t lose its montum, "So, are you trying to take it from for free?"
It could see that the other party was coveting this array, so it felt sowhat reliant.
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I never take things by force... but since you spied on first, I can make an exception."
"Are you kidding ," the human head silhouette couldn’t help but retort, "You are moving soil on my territory... Wait, you’re setting up?"
If the other party used this information to search for his main body, it would indeed cause him so trouble.
"Setting you up?" Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but sneer, "Do you even deserve that?"
"I bought this place with an Imperial land deed, you say it’s your territory, so I ask you... Where’s your evidence?"
What Imperial land deed... The human head silhouette wanted to burst out, is already supre, why care about this?
It’s not being unreasonable, but in such a desolate place, who would want to sell land, and who would be bored enough to buy land?
So it claid it first, thinking it was its own.
But at this mont, it had to admit, "Fine, you have a point. I don’t care much about these details."
"I originally planned to discuss with you later, but you just had to call out."
"I’m really moving out," Qu Jianlei answered seriously, "Leaving this place for you... even the land deed?"
"You little scher, don’t play these tricks," the human head silhouette spoke faintly, "State your conditions, I know you’ve thought it through."
Both sides understood, so let’s get it all out in the open.
"The array cannot be given to you, even borrowed, because what you offer isn’t worth it," Qu Jianlei stated calmly.
After a pause, seeing no response from the other party, he continued, "You’re capable of possession, it seems?"
"Possession?" The human head silhouette was stunned upon hearing this, then chuckled bitterly.
"Joking with you, just wanted to see your strength... I won’t cooperate with the weak."
"Is that so?" Qu Jianlei didn’t believe half of what it said, "Aren’t you quite fond of the Dark Attribute?"
The human head silhouette sighed, "You aren’t without inheritance, aren’t you clearer about the side effects of possession than I am?"
"If there were three alternatives, who would want to possess? Not to ntion that pathetically low success rate."
Qu Jianlei spoke gravely, "What if I help you beat soone half to death?"
"Half to death..." The human head silhouette’s voice lowered, seemingly analyzing the feasibility.
Then it suddenly reacted, "So you’re not planning to lend the array?"
"Not necessarily," Qu Jianlei wasn’t good at bargaining; he preferred speaking the truth, "But I’ll need to see your stuff first."
The human head silhouette thought for a mont and replied, "To , possession is too risky..."
"Cut it out," Qu Jianlei interrupted without hesitation, "Then you’ll just have to stay here forever."
"Maybe soday you’ll encounter another destined individual."
"Alright, you win," the human head silhouette sighed helplessly, "But possession, I need to consider compatibility..."
"They must be young, no lower than B-level, male, and preferably Gold Attribute, and without family..."
"Expand your horizons," Qu Jianlei coldly interrupted, "Gold Attribute Supre, male... is that enough?"
"Possession... Supre? Gold Attribute?" The human head silhouette’s voice trembled, "And you want to beat them half to death?"
It’s not that it was narrow-minded; this was about capturing a Supre of a specific attribute!
Choosing a specific attribute among many Supres is already difficult, not just as simple as one-fifth.
Every Supre has their own social circle, be it relatives or close friends, and matching attributes might not make it easy to act.
Also, everyone knows that defeating a Supre is easy, but killing is very difficult, let alone capturing alive,
If you really piss off the Supre, at the very least, they can destroy themselves with a fiery explosion. You won’t even have a chance to capture them alive.
Qu Jianlei nodded, "See, I knew it, there’s always a way around things."
"A workaround, my ass!" The silhouette of the head was initially pleased, but upon hearing this, it cursed furiously, "I’d rather borrow your array!"
In the end, seizing control is a last resort. Isn’t it better to use Spiritual Qi to restore oneself?
Seeing you so frustrated, I’m actually more at ease! Qu Jianlei spoke calmly, "So... you don’t want it?"
Upon hearing this, the silhouette of the head was at a loss for words; if it didn’t want it, it wouldn’t even have the chance to seize the Supre.
Then it rembered sothing else, "With your superior skills, after seizure, you should be able to use your array, right?"
After seizing, his cultivation level would decrease, unable to exert combat power above the Supre.
Even seizing the Supre doesn’t allow one to exert the original combat power of the Supre, leading to severe disharmony between the body and soul.
"It’s a bit early to discuss this now," Qu Jianlei said coldly.
"I think right now, you should first tell who exactly you are and what your current state is!"
In this conversation, the basic frawork was roughly set, which shows that if there’s genuine interest, nothing is impossible to discuss.
However, for Qu Jianlei, figuring out the other’s identity was very important.
This entity claid to be with the Divine Text Association, a group he was deeply averse to, though he believed that the other was most likely bluffing.
The silhouette of the head hesitated for a mont, reluctantly saying, "In this situation, what’s there to say about identity? Just consider a dead man."
People have their pride, especially those who once aspired beyond the Supre, whose self-esteem is surely not lacking.
"Then there’s nothing to discuss," Qu Jianlei declared without hesitation, "I also have enemies, and I won’t enhance the power of my foes."
This reasoning is flawless. As the apex of Awakened beings, the Supre simply can’t just enjoy the privileges without bearing any responsibilities.
Their responsibilities are inevitably linked to the distribution of topmost benefits, so how could they not have enemies?
Without knowing the other’s background, if soone aiding his enemies appeared out of nowhere, wouldn’t that make him a laughingstock?
You must understand, this is not rely a Supre; it’s soone who once transcended the Supre!
The silhouette of the head could understand this, but he really didn’t want to reveal his identity and could only sigh, "I truly have no face to speak of."
"Rest assured, with my current mindset, even if you are from the enemy’s camp, I wouldn’t dare acknowledge them."
This reasoning is also valid, but Qu Jianlei snorted, "So, you really do have a camp?"
What on earth are you focusing on? The silhouette of the head was sowhat frantic, "I have none, not anymore!"
"So you did before," Qu Jianlei actually pressed on this point, "Which camp, the Divine Text Association?"
"I’m from your camp, alright?" The silhouette of the head was a bit on edge, "Stop asking, can’t I just follow you?"
"No," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I don’t want comrades with unclear origins!"
"My origins..." The silhouette of the head pondered for a mont and sighed heavily.
"Can we not talk about this? Instead, I could tell you how I ended up like this."
Qu Jianlei’s stubbornness kicked in, but after thinking for a mont, he nodded, "Go ahead."
To be honest, he was also curious about how an Awakened being ended up in such a ghastly state.
However, the silhouette of the head was perhaps ashad of his condition and explained the entire process very simply.
In summary, he was originally a genius-level Supre, and when he hit a dead end, he researched the path beyond the Supre himself.
According to his account, there are "very many" people in the Imperial researching the path beyond the Supre.
These people are mostly Supre and are quite outstanding, making it understandable that none could persuade the others.
Qu Jianlei found this scenario very normal; just because he got along well with Qinghu Supre didn’t an anything, the latter was just trying to absorb knowledge.
With Qinghu’s pride, once she attempts to transcend the Supre, she will definitely trust her own judgnt more.
The silhouette of the head believed his theory was correct, yet he could not get recognized, and no one was willing to try his theory.
So he had to walk the path of "proving the way with his body" — because he also did not agree with others’ theories.
And then... he beca like this.
Upon reaching this point, he couldn’t help but express his resentnt, "Actually, I consider myself successful; only a minor slip occurred."
Was that a minor slip? Qu Jianlei listened, a bit speechless; you’ve already turned yourself into sothing unrecognizable!
"So how did your situation co about?"
The silhouette of the head was silent. If, when he proposed the advancent theory, any Supre had been interested, he would have been happy to explain.
But now that he’s ended up like this, being asked about his theory seed a bit mocking.
After a mont of silence, he let out a light sigh, "It happened just as you imagined."
