After Song Chu finished laughing, the smile faded from his face, and his tone gradually grew heavier. As if adding an explanation, he said, "There are actually many people like you and me."
"We descended into this world carrying a mission. We aren't here to muddle through life aimlessly, but to help Governor of Ranzhou dominate the world, unify the Nineteen States of Cang Ming, and completely crush our greatest enemy!"
"Otherwise, all living beings in the world we originally came from might die because of our defeat!"
"I was the first awakened one to come into contact with Governor of Ranzhou and break through the barrier of memory."
At this point, he looked seriously at Wan Haihao. "Just now, I only mentioned the first and second points. Finally—and most importantly—recruiting you ahead of time isn't so you can go to the battlefield and kill enemies."
Wan Haihao, who was working hard to digest this new information, suddenly felt slighted. He was somewhat indignant.
Although he taught swordsmanship in this small town and rarely traveled outside, he considered himself to have trained in the sword every day with utmost dedication, never slacking for even half a day. By now, he definitely possessed the genuine strength of a swordmaster.
If not for his lack of extraordinary aptitude, he might even have become renowned throughout history.
"I'm not looking down on your combat strength."
Song Chu's insight was also extremely sharp. He changed tack and said, "You're too sensitive. As expected, you lack guidance from a philosophy and a goal... Back on Earth, you were a guardian and an idol to many of your junior brothers and sisters..."
With that, he shook his head. "Actually, among our batch of elite society members, you were already in the first echelon of combat power."
