Chapter 2285 Final Request

Chapter 2285 Final Request

They gave up on that, sensing his unyielding attitude. "Then... we have one final request of you."

"I will not entertain any requests to harm her. If you want to kill her, then train hard and break through to the Master Realm." This was the way of Martial Artists, after all.

"Our final request does not require you to hurt her," N'Kulu stared at him. "If anything, we hope you will do the opposite." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Rui frowned. "Opposite?"

The air grew heavy as N'Kulu gritted his teeth. "We request you to... mate with her."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Seconds passed as Rui stared at them, using the SOUL System to see if this was their native sense of humor.

"...Excuse me?" Rui narrowed his eyes. This time, his son, K'Ahru, made the same request.

"Please, if you have any desire to help us, then mate with my sister and let her bear your child!"

Rui grew disgusted as father and son pleaded for him to impregnate Master K'Mala. "You... do you intend to kill her when she's pregnant?"

"...She was trying to develop more systems of thought," Rui realized. "That was what she called it," her brother nodded with a depressed expression. "She tried her very best to teach it to all of us enthusiastically, but..."

"You ridiculed her, probably scoffed at her thought techniques and systems of thought as a bunch of nonsense," Rui snorted, seeing right through them. "She must've given up on trying to teach all of you about systems of thought."

To their credit, none of them tried denying it. They lowered their heads with shame at Rui's words as he hit the nail on the head.

"Had I known that it was the key to breaking through to the next rank, I would have celebrated her achievement—"

"I don't care for that," Rui snorted. "It doesn't matter what you would have done. What matters is what you did. Now, continue."

His brother heaved a regretting sigh. "The incident caused a bit of a rift between her and the rest of her tribe. Even before, she had never been extremely intimate with the tribe's culture. Yet, once she started cultivating thought, and after she was ridiculed for doing so, she grew even more distant to the clan."

Rui could easily see where this was going. "Then, she broke through to the Master Realm."

The former chieftain nodded with a dark expression. "And once she did, the last embers of warmth in her eyes faded away. It was as though she no longer saw us as humans anymore. She looked at us, her own blood, as livestock."

"...I knew it," he muttered. "Tilt to psychopathy caused by the Master Realm."

He suspected it the moment he saw the reports from the Martial Union, yet hearing their testimony on the matter sealed the matter.

"So, this is what the Reign of the Master Realm must have been like." Master Ceeran remarked. "I suppose it truly isn't an exaggeration."

Just like Rui, Master Ceeran had never been around to see the Reign of the Master Realm; they were too young to have been alive during that era.

It was why there was a pronounced difference in the way that older Martial Artists talked about it. A majority of Martial Artists who were alive during the Reign of the Master Realm were not Masters back then. In other words, they had all experienced the oppression of the Reign of the Master Realm.

While younger Masters like Rui and Ceeran didn't treat it as a joke by any stretch, they certainly took it nearly as seriously as the older ones did.
