Hearing Liu Feng's words, the little girl's body jolted violently again, and she asked in disbelief, "You... you said you were sealed before too?"

With a chuckle, Liu Feng suddenly discovered that in front of this child who had also been sealed, he felt an immense sense of accomplishment. Very smugly, he once again struck a pose of gazing up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle and said leisurely, "That's right. When I was seven, someone sealed me too, but now I've broken that seal!"

Broken? The little girl's gaze changed again, but she didn't notice Liu Feng's incredibly showy pose at all. In a voice already trembling, she asked nervously, "You... you mean you can... can break seals?"

Perhaps Liu Feng's words were simply too shocking; the little girl asked this almost word by word, as if she had used up all the strength in her body.

Feeling that his dashing pose had been ignored, Liu Feng immediately felt a sense of defeat. With a helpless bitter smile, he nodded and said, "That's right. As long as you can tell me everything about the seal on your body, I can help you remove it."

Liu Feng's words carried tremendous confidence, making the little girl's body jolt once more, but a look of uncertainty appeared in her eyes, as if she were considering whether this fellow who sounded so sure of himself was just bragging.

Liu Feng was not boasting. If speaking in terms of strength, Liu Feng, who had only just entered the Soul Formation realm, was merely equivalent to intermediate rank. The cultivation method of the Eight Realms of Divine Soul was completely different from the other cultivation methods on the Falan Continent. The first realm, Awakening, and the second realm, Soul Absorption, granted no strength whatsoever, while the third realm, Soul Fusion, was when one began to enter initial-rank strength. The fourth realm, Soul Formation, was when one began to enter intermediate rank, and by the fifth realm, Soul Refining, one reached high rank. Following this pattern, the sixth realm, Peak Restoration, was the terrifying saint rank, while the seventh realm, Soul Departure, and the eighth realm, Divine Soul, were the legendary demigod and god ranks.

When Liu Feng had defeated the noble young master who clearly possessed fifth-level strength in the duel, what he had relied on had not actually been his own strength, but rather the power of the Judgment Reincarnation Spear taught to him by his ancestor, which was simply far too domineering.

However, even if Liu Feng's current strength was still the sort that didn't even enter the ranks on the continent, when it came to breaking seals, Liu Feng, who possessed the Devour skill, could absolutely be called a master-level figure. No matter what kind of seal it was, as long as Liu Feng was given enough time, there was basically none he could not break. That was why he was so confident.

But clearly, the little girl now had deep doubts about Liu Feng's confidence, and this made Liu Feng so depressed he nearly had the urge to cough blood. Although this little girl didn't look very old, her thoughts were far heavier than those of an ordinary person.

"Little sister, do you know? If your seal is removed, you'll be able to awaken normally like your clansmen, and you'll also be able to use your race's true abilities!" Liu Feng said softly in a ** voice, looking at this moment exactly like a big bad wolf holding a piece of candy to lure away Little Red Riding Hood.

However, this Little Red Riding Hood was clearly very clever and was not tempted by the big bad wolf's ** at all. She still did not speak, remaining deep in thought.

Letting out a powerless groan, Liu Feng was anxious but had no way around it, so he could only wait patiently. After a full minute passed, the little girl suddenly raised her head, a trace of determination flashing in her eyes as she said faintly, "In any case, I've already become your slave now. Trusting you once won't hurt."

At this point, seeing Liu Feng look as if he was about to cough blood again, the little girl said softly once more, "Have you heard of Moon God Elves?"

Moon God Elves? Liu Feng froze, then shook his head. He had only heard of elves; he had never heard of these Moon God Elves before.

"Moon God Elves are also a type of elf, but they are an extremely rare and ancient race. It's very normal that you haven't heard of them!" the little girl said faintly. Although her tone was very calm, no matter how Liu Feng listened, he felt there was a hint of mockery at his ignorance in it.

"The greatest difference between Moon God Elves and other elves is that their racial skill is unique!" Ignoring Liu Feng's wild guesses, the little girl continued.

"And what is on my body is not a seal in the traditional sense. It is precisely the result of the Moon God Elf race's special racial skill—Purification—being used," the little girl said, her tone still indifferent.

Not a seal? It was Purification? Liu Feng's body jolted violently, but he grew even more confused. Whether it was these Moon God Elves or some racial skill called Purification, Liu Feng had never had the slightest impression of them. It was as if he were listening to a heavenly scripture.

The little girl did not care at all whether Liu Feng could understand and continued, "This Purification skill was originally a positive support skill that could remove all negative conditions. And even if it were used on an ordinary person, besides strengthening their physique and improving their talent a little, it would have no harmful effects."

"However, nothing in this world is absolute. The Falan Continent has a long history, and there have always been a very few people whose bodies, from the moment they were born, are filled with enormous energy that ordinary people do not possess. You could call such people geniuses, and they appear only once in a thousand years, because the speed at which they cultivate and the achievements they later attain are both extremely terrifying."

After pausing, the little girl continued, "But when a Moon God Elf's Purification skill is used on this kind of person, it produces an effect similar to a seal, imprisoning all of their energy and turning them into trash who cannot cultivate!"

"Do you understand?" the little girl asked faintly, but in those eyes that had originally been wise, there appeared a trace of helpless indignation and sorrow. Clearly, she was one of these people too.

Energy imprisoned! Trash who could not cultivate! Hearing these words that had once happened to him and were all too familiar, Liu Feng's face was already full of shock. His feeling had indeed been right. The seal on his body back then and the one on this little Gema Tribe girl now were absolutely identical. They were not true seals, but merely the result of the Purification skill being used.

Only, why had the Purification skill been used on him? Also, this Purification skill was a racial skill unique to the Moon God Elf race, but Liu Feng clearly remembered that the seal on his body had appeared when he was seven, and the person who had cast it was very likely his mother, Doreen. But in his memories, Doreen was a normal human. How had she become connected to the Moon God Elves?

Most importantly, although Liu Feng now understood the origin of the seal on his own body, he still could not understand why Doreen would make her own child give up achievements that would have earned him the reverence of tens of thousands in the future and instead turn him into trash mocked by others every day.

"What's your name? Why did someone use this Purification skill on you too?" Liu Feng fiercely shook his head, throwing aside his doubts as he asked.

In the haze of it all, Liu Feng seemed to have a faint illusion: the secret behind this little Gema Tribe girl being sealed seemed to have some inexplicable connection to the seal within his own body...
