The hand that was extended was thus retracted with a casual nonchalance.
"I don't need it."
Li Guanyi replied.
A faint ripple appeared in the eyes of the Ancient Red Dragon.
"Oh?"
"The power of a Grandmaster, the legendary abilities, even the Emperor's Destiny, and the power of Dragon Energy, I am willing to help you with these. Do you not long for them?"
Li Guanyi replied, "Of course I want them, but..."
He looked at his own hand and softly said:
"Elder Zu foresaw that narrow thread of vitality, and our mentor brought down the Academic Gatekeepers pressing on the heads of students across the land. My comrades and I fought unified battles across the world, and then perished in war."
"They did not want me to stand out."
"And then to absorb the Qi Fortune of the people, pressing down on them."
"To absorb the fortune of the people and transform it into the prowess of one individual, such means."
Li Guanyi's fist suddenly clenched.
"I don't want it."
