Levi finally knew why the Hidden Dragon’s first batch had failed.
Destroying to rebuild had been the right move.
The Hidden Dragon plan had been fine.
However, crippling the body did not seem to reach actual “destruction.”
The multiple times that Levi managed to improve his technique was when he was nearing death.
In a way, he was remolded into an even greater being after toeing the line of life and death.
Every time, Levi was confident that he would win.
He had to live.
He could not die.
Therefore, the technique always pleasantly surprised Levi.
In a way, he was reborn every time after his near-death incidents.
With that rebirth came the increase of his powers.
However, the Hidden Dragon’s plan was different.
The destruction was intentional.
It was a forced stage.
Therefore, they had not truly felt desperation.
They only wanted to master the technique to make themselves stronger.
The determination in them had not been strong enough.
Levi skirted at the edges of life.
His willpower and desire to survive were immense.
That was not the case for the students in Hidden Dragon.
They wanted to become stronger, but Levi only wanted to live.
That was why he was capable of training in that technique.
That was the core of the issue.
No wonder these hundred people never made it.
In fact, they ended up crippled.
A smile flashed past Levi’s lips.
To him, it seemed like now was the best time, for they were crippled, and hope was gone from their lives.
In a way, they were like rabid dogs.
Being crippled was equivalent to being dead for those proud geniuses.
This moment was their moment of desperation.
They craved to return to normal.
They desired to return to the top of the mountain.
They had achieved the destruction of the mind.
In other words, they were in a similar situation as Levi’s previous near-death experiences.
At that very moment, their minds were occupied by intense emotions.
It was time for them to train in that technique.
“I honestly have no idea why you’re here to visit them. They’re just failed experiments. A bunch of rubbish that Erudia has to provide for. All they can do is spend the rest of their lives in a daze until they die!”
That was the thought that everyone had for the first batch of students.
They were lowlier than the beggars on the street.
Most had trouble even moving a finger.
“Enjoy your time looking at them. I’m irritated by the very sight of them.”
The man who had brought Levi there shot the crowd a look of disgust before leaving.
“Levi, why are you here? Are you here to laugh at us?”
“If not for your technique, we’d never have become crippled people!”
“All we can do is wait for our deaths now!”
The group of people went wild with fury when they saw Levi.
To them, Levi was their archenemy.
Levi’s method had been what caused their tragedies.
“No. I’m here to give you a chance to live again,” Levi said with a chuckle.
“What? Live again?”
“Are you trying to return us to normal? That’s impossible!”
They were stunned by his words.
Levi nodded in confirmation. “Yes, that’s right. I’m going to make you return to normal.”
“That’s impossible!”
The majority did not believe in him.
Yet, there were a few who shouted, “Quiet down!”
Then, they turned to Levi and asked, “Elaborate.”
“Do you remember the technique I’ve trained you in?” Levi queried.
“You’re just mocking us! I wish I could kill you right now.”
Upon hearing Levi’s question, many screamed and shouted.
“No, quiet down. Listen to him,” Floyd shouted.
“Listen to me. Now you’re suitable to learn this technique. Not only will it restore you to normal, but it’ll also enhance your abilities.”
