As Humans, We Cannot Avoid Selfish Desires

Although it has no significance for the overall situation, if they can become leaders of the Esper, their families can gain enormous benefits from it.

Even knowing it was wrong, they still did it.

As human beings, we cannot avoid having selfish desires.

Even Saint can kill their opponents on trumped-up charges over academic disputes; how much more so these elderly people who already have children?

There is no need to doubt their determination to dedicate themselves to the country.

However, having this determination doesn't prevent them from wanting to do more for their children.

Whether it's Kun Hu, Lin Kai, Xue Wu, or Shi Luo, they all come from influential families in Huaxia. From birth, they stand at an end that ordinary people can never reach in their entire lives.

Of course, their family is not an ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years, but rather a family that achieved its status through military merits during wars.

They were merely enjoying the twilight of their ancestors' legacy.

They are proud of this, not because of their own status, but because of the honor of their ancestors.

If possible, what they want is a pure battle between Esper, a battle in which both sides give their all, without any ulterior motives.

But reality is often disappointing.

Interests have truly entangled too many things.

Especially in a family like theirs, it's rare to see anything truly pure.

"Just do your best."

"Whether I can stand in that position or not is not important to me. Unlike you, I don't care about what they think."

"I just want to know if there's a gap between me and Qin Tian and the others. With the Black Rhino Armor and the Flame Dragon Armor, who is truly stronger?"

Lin Kai said calmly.

Kun Hu always considered his elders' feelings. No matter how much he disliked something, he could never refuse under their expectant gaze.

This is Kun Hu's flaw.

Although his elders saw him as filial and obedient, both Lin Kai and Kun Hu themselves felt he was cowardly.

Filial piety does not mean that one must obey the elders.

Adults should learn to make their own choices. Parents' advice can be taken as suggestions, but they should not be blindly followed.

Since coming of age, Lin Kai has always made his own decisions, and he takes full responsibility for any regrets he may have made in the future.

"That's the biggest difference between us."

That's what I admire most about you.

Kun Hu took a deep breath and said with a wry smile.

Lin Kai didn't want to say much to Kun Hu on this point, because no matter how much he said, Kun Hu wouldn't change his mind.

What do you think of the fight between Zhang Daolong and Chen Bing from Wudang?

He asked Kun Hu.

Neither of them used their full strength, not even a tenth of it.

"The information revealed in the video alone is insufficient to determine who is stronger between the two."

"However, in terms of skill, Zhang Daolong is far superior to Chen Bing."

This is only natural.

As Taoist Sect second most outstanding genius in the Daoist Heavenly Pride after Xuan Zhen, Zhang Daolong had no flaws in either Daoist techniques or martial arts. His swordsmanship, palm techniques, and fist techniques had reached an unimaginable Realm.

Although each Isshiki was simple, he was able to turn danger into safety every time, neutralizing Chen Bing's attacks.

However, Zhang Daolong's superior skills did not mean that he could easily defeat Chen Bing. In fact, Chen Bing was the one who was dominating Zhang Daolong during the fight.

Because her Superpower, both in terms of destructive power and chilling aura, are far too strong.

Skill alone has its limits.

This remains true even with the Reiki Revival.

Chen Bing seemed to Detect the limits of Zhang Daolong's skills, and every attack he launched was just enough to save him from danger.

Neither side used their full strength in this battle, so it would be foolish for anyone to mistake that for their true power.

Are you confident you can beat him?

Lin Kai then asked.

"Zhang Daolong?"

"The armor's enhancement to us is too great, so great that ordinary First Sequence poses no threat to us. You should know that."

The enhancements that the Five Elements Armor provides to them are unimaginable to ordinary people, and are something that even the most elite First Sequence can only dream of.

Moreover, their Superpower are among the most outstanding in the First Sequence.

The enhancement is naturally even more powerful.

Although the Cultivation Method of the Taoist Sect and Buddhist Sect are extremely powerful once mastered, in Kun Hu's eyes, there is an absolute gap between the two.

The Cultivation Method is a product of our ancestors' observation and understanding of the "Tao" of Heaven and Earth and all things; the Five Elements Armor is the condensation of elements between Heaven and Earth.

There are inherent differences between the two.

Not only Daoist techniques, but also the Devil Fruit and Teigu obtained by Huo Yu, Chen Bing, and Xue Wu were not taken seriously by them.

Whether it's Logia- type or Mythical Zoan, they aren't very valuable in Kun Hu's eyes. Only a small number of Paramecia Devil Fruit are considered extremely valuable.

For example, the Paw-Paw Fruit can repel anything, including pain, fatigue, and injury; the Op-Op Fruit can freely divide and combine any person or object, and even exchange Mind Stone.

The Press-Press Fruit Gravity; the Soul-Soul Fruit -Soul allows one to easily seize the souls and lifespans of others and freely manipulate their souls.

There are also the Revive-Revive Fruit (Revive-Revive Fruit), the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, and the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, all of which possess abilities that can be described as bug-like; if developed properly, they are enough to quickly turn an ordinary person into a powerful being.

Kun Hu doesn't know if Devil Fruit have an upper limit, but it's highly likely they do.

Devil Fruit, with the exception of a very few special Devil Fruit, the vast majority of them, no matter how much they are developed, cannot extend the lifespan of their host.

Devil Fruit have a concept called "Awakening," which is a breakthrough after Devil Fruit has been developed to its limit, allowing the user to develop even more powerful abilities.

But once Awakening, it seems to be the ultimate limit.

Whether there will be more to come, they don't know, because the progress of One Piece has stopped.

A reason, its veracity unknown, is circulating online in Japan.

The author of One Piece, like Spirit God, Feather God, or Sword God, was blessed by the Deity and possessed a true Devil Fruit.

As for what kind of Devil Fruit is, there are rumors circulating online.

The first thing that came to mind was the Flower-Flower Fruit. Drawing with two arms was too tiring, but with Flower-Flower Fruit, drawing as many as you could do was a breeze.

However, considering that One Piece has stalled, the Flower-Flower Fruit is immediately ruled out.

Some speculate that it is the Chop-Chop Fruit, which is also the fruit that the author once said he most wanted, because it could be used to defend against Swordsman.

Or perhaps it's the Nika Fruit of the Mythical Zoan, since it's the protagonist's ability, and in a sense, it should be the author's favorite ability.

There are many rumors, but none of them have been confirmed.
