Chapter 2226 The Same As Three Years Ago
Over a hundred of Levi’s disciples arrived, followed by Levi’s Team Of Secret Warriors.
There was no need for them to conceal themselves, for they were fighters by now.
After Levi’s departure, Floyd became their leader so they could continue contributing to Erudia.
“Master!” they greeted him excitedly.
They were as delighted as Azure Dragon and the rest.
After hearing news of Levi’s return, they rushed over to North Hampton.
“Good, good. You’re all fighters now!” Levi praised as he flashed a satisfied grin.
Just like Azure Dragon and the rest, Floyd and his men were now capable fighters.
Floyd himself was on par with Azure Dragon, Kirin, and the like.
So was Shade, the leader of Team Of Secret Warriors.
If the team was this strong three years ago, Levi wouldn’t have to keep them in hiding. He could’ve just ordered them to take down anyone who tried to go against them.
Even the Lab of Gods wouldn’t be spared.
They had progressed a lot.
Though his disciples and subordinates had become fighters, Levi wasn’t rejoiced at all.
That was because his final hope had been snuffed out.
None of his disciples had continued using the technique book.
Their bodies were full of mixed elements and energies.
Clearly, they had practiced different skills and techniques over the years. They also took various medications and even modified their DNA with the latest technology available.
They ended up using all means available to improve their strength.
As they succeeded in turning stronger, everyone else revered them like gods.
If one got a choice to become ten times or ten thousand times stronger in three years’ time, what would one’s choice be?
Unquestionably the latter, of course.
They had achieved what they wanted.
Levi swept his glance over his disciples who were all fighters, but none of them stuck to using his technique book.
He shook his head in resignation.
Nonetheless, it was hardly their fault, as he did the same thing in the past.
Though he didn’t give up on the technique book, he didn’t pay much attention to it and placed his hope on the Forbidden Technique.
His trump card was the Forbidden Technique, so he naturally neglected the basic techniques and ended up stuck at the same level for some time.
Most importantly, his mentor reminded him not to use the Forbidden Technique unless it was the last resort or risk facing more troubles ahead.
It wasn’t until much later that Levi realized that this was a test set by his mentor.
The Forbidden Technique was powerful enough for Levi to be invincible three years ago, but it also ended up being a huge hurdle as he became dependent on it.
It was a test meant for him!
Luckily, Levi was trapped in the Prison of Darkness later on before everything dawned on him.
Some things might seem to be beneficial but would end up being one’s biggest obstacle.
Hence, Levi gave up the Forbidden Technique and focused on delving into the basic techniques to get to where he was today.
It was all part and parcel of growing up.
However, Levi’s growth was different. After all, they took a shortcut to advance in the fastest way possible.
Without the gathering and accumulating process, it would be a disadvantage for their development in the future.
“Master, you…” Floyd trailed off as he scanned Levi hesitantly.
When everyone else was saying that Levi was only an average fighter in this era, he refused to believe it.
He was of the opinion that Levi could progress if the latter was fortunate enough.
Alas, that didn’t happen.
Levi was still the same person he was three years ago.
“Well…”
Taking in his strange reaction, Levi asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Master, is your strength the same as it was three years ago?” Floyd blurted out.
