Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment before answering, "The first generation of Genetic Transformation Potion... I got through it."
"Genetic Transformation Potion... is it really a thing?" Flower Scorpion was instantly shocked, "What do you mean by ’got through it’?"
She may be an Elite Level Adventurer, but she had only a superficial understanding of the related information.
"It was originally poison," Qu Jianlei replied flatly, "It needs a conditioning potion to neutralize... even then, few can withstand it."
"You endured it without neutralization..." Flower Scorpion understood.
But precisely because she understood, she didn’t dare ask, finally speaking after a long silence, "Like those Ultimate Warriors?"
She vividly remembered encountering those two Ultimate Warriors — no one could forget it.
"I’m not sure if those two are Genetic Warriors," Qu Jianlei sighed lightly, "Even if they were, they didn’t use the first-generation potion."
Flower Scorpion gasped again, "So, they want to capture you and dissect you?"
"I don’t know what they want to capture me for," Qu Jianlei answered calmly, "But I am not without a background."
He now trusted Flower Scorpion quite a bit, but human nature couldn’t withstand tests, so it was necessary to boast a little appropriately.
"You certainly have a background," Flower Scorpion had no doubt about this; she had once been conscripted by the Sai Family and knew the incident well.
If you say that the Sha Qu from back then was just a lucky orphan, she believes that.
But for the surviving Sha Qu to luckily have the current strength of Black Heaven, she absolutely doesn’t believe it.
Now her Tai Chi Thirteen Sabers were just passable, she knew this couldn’t be conjured up out of thin air.
What’s more, is Black Heaven really dumb? She couldn’t see it at all.
"Anyway, this matter isn’t over," Qu Jianlei commented flatly, "Once I become stronger, I’ll definitely retaliate."
Flower Scorpion was silent; she wanted to ask: can you not seek help from the forces behind you?
However, things couldn’t be done that way; she already knew quite a few secrets today, more than enough.
And these secrets truly made one’s heart tremble with fear.
After much contemplation, she asked again, "By cultivating like you, can I also become so powerful?"
Qu Jianlei glanced at her casually, "The Water here is too deep; even a hundred and eighty of you couldn’t make a splash."
"I’m not afraid of being submerged," Flower Scorpion answered without hesitation, "I’m only afraid of not being strong enough."
Qu Jianlei wasn’t surprised by this answer; nearly two years of interaction was enough for him to understand her nature.
But he still stated, "Yet, most people fall on the road to becoming stronger, this path isn’t as easy as you think."
"I don’t care," Flower Scorpion had already made up her mind, "How many adventurers die of old age, anyway?"
This was reasonable, but Qu Jianlei still shook his head, "Cultivation Techniques are not lightly passed on, you need to understand this, take it slow."
He wasn’t sure if there was a spatial overlap with Blue Star here; before figuring it out, he wouldn’t casually pass on Cultivation Techniques.
"I understand," Flower Scorpion nodded, aware of how precious means of strengthening herself were, she couldn’t help but be anxious.
But she still couldn’t help feeling regret, "Mainly because if I’m too weak, it won’t be convenient to coordinate with you in battle."
"Don’t even think about coordination," Qu Jianlei waved his hand, stating bluntly, "When the real battle comes, just run."
Flower Scorpion instantly felt a bit stuffy in her chest; though my strength is lacking, am I that useless?
"At least I can drive and pick you up."
Qu Jianlei gave her a cool glance, "If you encounter those two Ultimate Warriors... what are your odds?"
