Su Lin took a deep breath, dusted himself off, stood up, and bowed deeply to Senior Li with utmost respect: "I will remember this favor forever and never forget it."
He was truly sincere; Senior Li's kindness to him was simply too great!
This was no ordinary empowerment from a martial arts hermit. During the empowerment, Su Lin almost confirmed a fact: Senior Li's cultivation had long since broken through the limitations of the martial arts system!
He was not as close to immortal as Su Lin had once guessed, nor did he have one foot in the immortal realm; rather, he had long since crossed that threshold!
Senior Li didn't have the concept of cultivating immortality and establishing a foundation. He didn't understand the principles behind it, but he still managed to surpass the Foundation Establishment stage by relying on his extraordinary talent and using martial arts to achieve immortality. He was at least comparable to half a Golden Core level expert!
What a terrifying concept this is!
Using true qi energy far inferior to spiritual energy, without mastering any cultivation techniques, and with even lower-level resources and martial arts skills, he forged his own path to immortality! It was a genuine path to immortality through martial arts!
If it weren't for the empowerment given to Su Lin, and if it weren't for the intervention of a mysterious figure in the world situation... with Senior Li's extraordinary talent, he could definitely lead this martial arts world into a more mysterious realm, guiding the birth of a more powerful martial arts civilization as a world leader!
If another thousand or hundred years pass, this world will probably no longer be a martial arts world, but a completely transformed fantasy world!
Such people are practically born geniuses! They are treasures of the world!
In the body of a single living being, the wisdom and spirit of the entire world are gathered!
Senior Li almost sacrificed a world system's transformative opportunity to help Su Lin lay a solid foundation.
That's right, this is just laying the foundation.
During the initiation, Su Lin had several desires to establish his foundation. He had a clear understanding that this time he could fight for the possibility of reaching the Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment!
He is undergoing a highly improbable transformation, aided by an almost world-class stroke of luck! He will definitely achieve the Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment!
However, Su Lin's progress towards Foundation Establishment was forcefully suppressed by Senior Li.
He did not want Su Lin to establish his foundation here. He did not understand the Dao of Immortality, but based on his rich experience and intuition, he felt that Su Lin could still prepare and pursue a more perfect opportunity!
To think about it from another angle, to be able to use a lower-level system to forcefully suppress the foundation-building process of a higher-level system without harming Su Lin himself... his talent is so strong that it is almost unprecedented in history, and such a dazzling person cannot be seen in many worlds!
Senior Li is truly a genius, a true master of creation!
Only Su Lin felt it most deeply. Only now did he realize how much he had underestimated Senior Li.
Senior Li is not some long-established, invincible being, but rather a being who has just begun his journey and has not yet reached his peak! He can still reach even greater realms! He can still venture into even more incredible domains!
Unfortunately, I still ended up relying on my parents for financial support.
It's a pity that he ruined the future of a truly exceptional genius.
"You've been in meditation for so long, it looks like you're about to succumb to inner demons, with more distracting thoughts?"
Senior Li, with his keen insight, frowned and looked at Su Lin: "Is my initiation going to be a waste?"
"No."
Su Lin shook her head gently, feeling extremely guilty and unsure how to answer.
"Too unrestrained, how will he achieve great things in the future?"
Senior Li pointed at Su Lin and cursed him with great contempt: "You're not even as good as your father. Look at how useless he is, yet he's still honing himself. Although it may not be the right path, at least he doesn't have so many distracting thoughts."
Su Lin's gaze involuntarily fell upon the pool. His cheap father had been in meditation for seven whole months, and there was still no movement; he was as if he were dead.
Without a doubt, Su Qingyang is also undergoing a transformation and sublimation.
A person like Su Qingyang is fearless in any desperate situation, and nothing can defeat him.
That mysterious man was merely a brief darkness destined to be pierced by his sword, a stepping stone for him to grow stronger.
If it weren't for Senior Li's example, Su Qingyang would also be an invincible genius in the world, admired by all living beings, and perfectly flawless.
Only Senior Li has the right to call him a piece of trash.
It's truly unpredictable how things can turn out this way. There are actually two such incredible people in one world, much like the rivalry between two brilliant strategists.
"elder brother..."
Xiao Linlin walked gently to Su Lin's side and tentatively tugged at Su Lin's sleeve. She had a lot to say to Su Lin, including the news Chu Mo had sent and the established plans.
But Su Lin didn't respond; he just gently patted her little hand.
None of that matters now.
Under her incredulous gaze, Su Lin took out the forced recruitment order from his pocket.
Su Lin respectfully presented the token to Senior Li and said in a low voice, "This junior humbly requests Senior Li's assistance. I am willing to serve you with the utmost respect and filial piety, and pave a new path for you."
Xiao Linlin stared wide-eyed, almost unable to believe her eyes and ears.
Is my brother... coming clean?!
She had never seen Su Lin like this before, so respectful to an NPC, even bowing his head obediently, sincerely trying to make amends.
In her daze, she seemed to understand something.
In this world, nothing wins people's hearts more than force; it is virtue.
The gratitude was so deep that even the proud Su Lin was willing to kneel and bend his knee.
