Wei Lanshan looked at 99's conflicted expression and felt amused. So she wasn't always completely unruffled after all; these vast stores of knowledge had finally stunned her.
Those delicate brows knitted together, and her beautiful eyes were full of confusion.
99 began asking questions. "Doctor, does the Jingsu Alliance have dealings with other Alliances?"
Wei Lanshan said, "Very rarely. The cost of long-distance travel is too great. We're simply far, far too distant from the other Alliances. Without a Star Chart, spacecraft can easily lose their way in the universe."
They could also easily be struck by erupting celestial bodies or fall into unknown regions of space, and likely never emerge before their lives came to an end.
Thus, citizens of the Jingsu Alliance only traveled or worked within their own Alliance's star systems.
When she had come from Gaia to Tianning Star, she had heard that Star Charts for five Alliances had already been completed. They were probably preparing to establish friendly exchanges with the other Alliances by now.
As long as they connected to the Central Brain, they would know.
99 asked, "Then how did you learn of these Alliances' existence?"
Wei Lanshan said, "By capturing various signal sources from the depths of the universe. We established signal contact with them and shared information from within our respective Alliances."
99 mulled over Wei Lanshan's words again. They could detect all kinds of sounds from the depths of the universe and even transmit information through them. Just how advanced had their technology become?
By civilization standards, they were likely already at the pinnacle.
99 asked, "Physical ability has a limit, but Martial Skills do not. Is that right?"
Wei Lanshan felt gratified. She had not expected 99's thinking to be so meticulous.
Wei Lanshan said, "Right. There is no end to the martial path."
99 asked, "Where were the Alliance's Martial Skills inherited from?"
The moves Wei Lanshan used looked very familiar.
In her previous life, in order to protect that person, she had worked brutally hard at studying martial arts. She knew at least something about the fighting styles of every school and sect.
That was why 99 could be certain that Wei Lanshan's Martial Skills shared the same origin as hers. She desperately wanted to know who had taught Wei Lanshan these Martial Skills.
Wei Lanshan said, "From the even more ancient era of Ancient Martial Arts. Back then, humanity did not have these large-scale weapons. They could only fight with their own strength. Martial Skills were inheritances possessed by families alone and were never passed on to outsiders."
99 thought of Wei Lanshan's breathtaking Martial Skills. She had fought five people alone and still had strength to spare, leaving 99 so shocked that her mouth had hung open.
After hearing Wei Lanshan's explanation, 99 became certain that she came from an Ancient Martial Arts family.
99 asked, "Shangyue Star is an Ancient Martial Arts star system. Did the Alliance's Ancient Martial Arts all come from that star system?"
Wei Lanshan said, "Most did. A small portion was taught by Li Zhengfeng to his seven disciples, and his disciples then passed it on to their own disciples."
99 stared at Wei Lanshan in astonishment. The woman before her was actually the descendant of a disciple of Nine-Star Marshal Li Zhengfeng.
No wonder she had been able to take her and escape, and no wonder her strength was so astounding. There was probably no one more powerful than her in the entire Tianning Star System.
That basically confirmed that Li Zhengfeng had come from the same place as her. He had merely arrived five hundred years earlier.
99 asked, "Are there divisions of rank among Alliance citizens?"
Wei Lanshan said, "On the surface, there are no rank divisions. But when the Central Brain issues IDs, it does so according to one's initial Mental Power and physical ability values.
"In other words, the Central Brain judges a person's status, but that is not the final standard."
"There's another system that can change one's status rank," 99 said with certainty.
Wei Lanshan said, "Yes, you're very smart. The Central Brain adjusts the permission level an ID can obtain according to each person's contributions to the Alliance. For example, my contribution to the Alliance is first-class. Contribution values are divided from first to ninth class, with one exceptional class. In the Alliance's history, only Nine-Star Marshal Li Zhengfeng ever received it."
99 asked in confusion, "What counts as contributing to the Alliance?"
