Ning Fan was not surprised when he heard this.

He knew he had a problem before he came to the upper city.

The last unsolved mystery that Li Tiandao left him was...

Why is it that for all these years, Ning Fan is the only one who can use Wuxiang?

Ning Fan has actually been thinking about this issue for some time.

Moreover, in his own heart, he already had an answer.

Now all I need is an opportunity to confirm my guess.

At this point, Xu Jiang's words were basically about to reveal the truth.

"I'm not human."

Ning Fan said calmly.

Compared to his calmness, Xu Jiang, who had originally planned to give him a "surprise", was actually confused.

He blinked, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

In his opinion, Ning Fan shouldn't be feeling this way.

"You... knew this a long time ago?"

“I’ve thought about that possibility.”

Ning Fan's smile was somewhat complicated. "It's just that I wasn't sure before. Now that you said the problem lies with me, I feel... this possibility is very high."

Xu Jiang stared at Ning Fan for a while, then nodded slightly.

"According to the information I received, you are indeed not entirely human."

Ning Fan looked towards the upstairs.

That is the location of Ning Ze’s room.

Not entirely human.

This sentence is very telling.

Ning Fan even suspected that he was a strange beast before.

But he eventually denied this speculation because he said that Ning Ze was a very normal child.

He has normal fertility.

In this case, he may be different from ordinary people, but he is still within the scope of humanity.

"When I was looking through some historical documents, I found that the Upper City was once controlled by a large family."

Xu Jiang smiled and said, "Yes, you heard it right. Almost the entire Upper City belongs to this family."

Li family!

These two words immediately flashed through Ning Fan's mind.

This is exactly the information that Li Tiandao had provided him before.

Ning Fan had never doubted the story Li Tiandao told him, and now from Xu Jiang's words, he was even more certain of the authenticity of this information.

"As for how this family was destroyed, I haven't found any relevant information. It seems that they disappeared suddenly, and with their disappearance, new forces emerged in Upper City, which also changed the situation in Upper City."

Ning Fan nodded slightly.

Although he knew the truth about these things, he did not interrupt Xu Jiang, but waited for him to finish telling everything he knew.

"Among these newly developed forces, there exists a very special family."

"This family's surname is Li."

"And the big family that I just told you about that rules the Upper City is named Li."

"With this in mind, I took a closer look at this family out of curiosity."

"And it was by chance that I discovered a big problem."

"They are particularly knowledgeable about 'transformation'!"

"This family isn't very strong, but they can push the limits of humankind."

"For example, someone with only the strength of a First Desolate could, under their 'transformation', display a strength comparable to that of a Third Desolate."

"Of course, this kind of forced breakthrough of the limit also requires a price to be paid."

"If you repeatedly use strength beyond your capabilities, you'll lose your sense of self."

"This is also the reason why this family, despite possessing such special technology, has never been able to grow stronger."

"And the strange thing is that this Li family... suddenly disappeared hundreds of years ago."

"Just like the powerful Li family before, they disappeared very suddenly. There is no information about them anymore."

"It's like they just vanished from Uptown."

Hearing this, Ning Fan's eyes fixed.

He seemed to know the background of this mysterious family.

This family is the group of people who once researched strange beasts!

Their technology was once "divided" by the Li family, and their entire family was wiped out.

But through Xu Jiang's description, Ning Fan immediately thought of that year...

There are survivors in their lineage!

And the survivors still retained certain skills.

After the Li family completely lost their dominance over Shangcheng, they began to use their remaining technology to reappear and try to rise again.

But Ning Fan has not figured out why they were destroyed afterwards.

"And long after they disappeared, the present-day Peak City rose."

A hint of hatred unconsciously flashed in Xu Jiang's eyes.

Even after so many years, his hatred for Diancheng has not diminished.

He had never thought that Ning Fan's life experience could be connected to Diancheng.

"Coincidentally, the rise of Diancheng is precisely due to the same technology that can break through the limits."

"However, this technology is more refined and can ensure that combat effectiveness is maintained without losing self-awareness."

"They have found a balance. Although the improvement effect is not as good as that of the mysterious family in the past, the key is stability."

"And it is based on this technology that the people of Diancheng have created a cultivation method that is different from others."

"The Storm Fist is an idea derived from this training method."

Although Ning Fan listened attentively, Xu Jiang still explained, "I'm not saying this because I want you to know more about Diancheng in advance, but because this matter also involves your life experience."
