Peerless Genius System

Chapter 705: Candidate.

That night, people in Xia Hai noticed that the thunderstorm was different than usual. The ‘thunder’ from the sky was not really the thunder sound.

……

……

Xiao Luo’s injury was too innumerous. Even with System’s healing ability and advanced medical equipment, the healing process was much slower; and needed more time to heal.

When he regained consciousness, it was already the third day.

When he opened his eyes and found himself lying on a big soft bed. The decor of the room was very luxurious and elegant. At the same time he recovered his consciousness, the scene of Su Li being taken away flooded his mind. The scene was unforgettable and touched his soul. He sat up from the bed with a jerk while panting and sweating profusely; as if he waking up from a nightmare and

“Mr. Xiao Luo!” A light call suddenly rang in his ears.

Xiao Luo turned his head and saw Ji Siying. She got up from lying on the edge of the bed. Her beauty was slightly dampened because she was exhausted. It was not difficult to take in that she had been here with him; to take care of him while he was unconscious.

After a pause, he spoke slowly in a grated voice, “How many days have I been unconscious?”

“Three days.” Ji Siying answered.

Xiao Luo smiled bitterly, “It has already been three days…”

He very much wanted to rush into that damned Secret Land right now and bring back Su Li. As he thought of this, he clenched his fist subconsciously.

However, apart from Su Li, he also left out one person and immediately asked: “Miss Venom, is she… not dead?”

Ji Siying did not answer him immediately, but bowed her head and said in a low voice, “She is not dead, but the situation is not very good.”

Xiao Luo closed his eyes, and his mood turned depressed. This made his hatred fpr the Light Clan to magnify to hundreds of times.

“Siying, can you give me some time alone? Just for a while.”

“En, ok.”

Ji Siying looked melancholy. She wanted to take care of Xiao Luo, but was told that she couldn’t.

“Siying.” When she arrived tat the door to the room, Xiao Luo suddenly called her.

“Hmm?” Ji Siying stopped and turned back.

“Thank you for taking care of me!” Xiao Luo smiled.

Ji Siying’s face immediately bloomed into a sweet smile, “I am willing to take care of Mr. Xiao Luo.”

Xiao Luo nodded.

……

……

After Ji Siying left, Xiao Luo took off his hospital gown and went into the bathroom to take a bath. His wounds healed without leaving any trace nor scar.

After three days without shaving, there was now a subtle beard on his face. When he looked at himself in the mirror, he thought he was looking at a homeless person. The sink in the bathroom was equipped with a razor. He picked it up and began to shave meticulously with some water.

A little while later, Zhang Gu and Dong Fangshuo Yu came in to see him; King Kong was also on their heels. They asked a lot of questions, but Xiao Luo was not interested in answering them.

Not long after they left, the old man surnamed Long and Xiao Quanren came.

Seeing Xiao Quanren, Xiao Luo fell into a brief consternation. He never expected to meet him here. Moreover, it seemed that he and the NSA’s mysterious old man were acquainted with each other. Their relationship looked solid.

“Old man, it seems that you already know everything. Then tell me everything about our Xiao Family.” Xiao Luo was extremely curious about this.

Xiao Quanren nodded and told what he knew.

“Xiao Luo, our Xiao Clan came from the outside world. We set foot in this world thousands of years ago. The Clan coveted the living environment of the Secret Land, but failed to defeat the Light Clan. In the end, they withdrew from the Secret Land and settled in Luo Village. Teacher was one of the earliest members of Xiao Clan at that time.

After he came to Luo Village, he put down roots and after several generations, the present Xiao Clan came to be. However, our bloodline fell into a deep sleep. In this millenium, only three people have awakened their bloodlines; one is my father, one is myself, and the other is you.”

From the outside world?

Invasion?

Teacher?

Bloodline?

These words stunned Xiao Luo. They were not original inhabitants of Earth.

He then asked one of his most puzzled questions, “What does ‘from the outside world mean’ ?”

“It means not from this planet.”

Xiao Quanren sighed lightly. “This was handed down from previous generations. And I don’t know if it is true or not.”

“Of course it’s true.”

Old man Long suddenly echoed at this time. “This old man has dealt with the first generation of your Xiao Clan. It was this old man who told them Secret Land’s existence, saying that the environment there is much better than here. That it was much suitable for living. Allowing them go to the Secret Land was my idea.”

“…” Xiao Luo.

“…” Xiao Quanren.

“Don’t look at me with those eyes. You could only blame your race’s abnormal fighting power, especially when your eyes turn red from anger. Your combat power suddenly increases by several times. We worked so hard to reach the state through our own cultivation, but you just achieved it when you were born. If this old man didn’t do that, this world would have been claimed by the Xiao Clan long ago.”

“Senior, you don’t have to feel guilty. If it weren’t for you allowing the Xiao Clan to retreat here, we wouldn’t be here. We are grateful to you.” Xiao Quanren said.

“Guilt?”

Old man Long laughed. “This old man has never felt guilty. This old man was just protecting his world. This old man has a clear conscience.”

“…” Xiao Luo.

“…” Xiao Quanren.

“Young man, in fact, when I saw you for the first time, I learned that your last name was Xiao, and I went to Luo village. I guessed that you were from the Xiao Clan but didn’t expect you to awaken your bloodline. Your strength was on the same bar as the first generation of Xiao Clan from one thousand years ago.

This old man was sorry for the situation three nights ago. The sword king of the Light Clan barely tied the battle and I failed to bring back your wife. It seems that this old man is really old and out of his prime. It’s time for me to find a successor. And finally after living for thousands of years, a suitable candidate has appeared.” Old man Long looked at Xiao Luo with burning eyes.

“What does the senior mean?” Xiao Luo had a bad feeling.

“The candidate this old man is referring to is you. The first generation of the Xiao Clan family is very aggressive. But after breeding here for thousands of years, you have already integrated into this world. Passing to you the heavy responsibility of guarding this world will leave this old man at ease.” Old man Long said.

“I’m sorry senior, I don’t want to be a guardian. I only want to get my wife back.” Xiao Luo politely declined.

Xiao Quanren stared at him, “Xiao Luo, Senior Long has placed his trust in you. You should do it, don’t say such silly words.”

He really wanted to knock on Xiao Luo’s forehead. This was the strongest person in the world. It wasa good thing to follow Old Man Long’s footsteps.
