Today's third update: Chapter 858! 3/4!
Xu Kun froze and pressed, "Are you sure?"
Li Taibai nodded. "Although the elders of my Li Family never told me that person's name, this matter is an open secret among the upper echelons of the Imperial Capital!"
"And supposedly, that member of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan merely received some guidance from this person. She could hardly be considered a true disciple, barely qualifying as a registered disciple!"
"You know as well that in powerful races like the Seven Royal Races, even those with a Tier-SSS Bloodline are not all that rare. Just like someone such as Sima Dai, a new batch always emerges every few years!"
"That person was originally descended from an ordinary family within the Nine-tailed Race, yet she unexpectedly awakened a Tier-SSS Bloodline. Her circumstances were hardly ideal. There were predecessors before her and newcomers after her. Without a family to back her, what did having an SSS-tier talent amount to?"
"Yet through her own efforts, she defeated those before her and suppressed those who came after, becoming one of the peak powerhouses of the Nine-tailed Clan. She benefited from this person's guidance back then!"
Holy shit!
Even among SSS-tier Talented Individuals and bloodline wielders, there were enormous gaps!
It was like the difference between a dragon prince born in the Dragon Palace and a Golden Phoenix born from a chicken coop!
Don't think that just because bloodlines were of the same rank, they started from the same line!
Looking across powerful races like the Three Saint Races and Seven Royal Races, the advantages provided by one's background could not be ignored. Forget those powerful races—among humanity alone, in Huaxia alone, at Imperial Capital Academy alone, how many people on the Dragon-Tiger Rankings did not come from prominent families?
