“That…”

“Young Master Night, it’s not that they want to show off their runes. It’s just that their runes are too low-level. This is a normal phenomenon. Only high-level runes would be kept in the depths of a rune-master’s mind. As for low-level and mid-level runes, they would be automatically released from the body,” Vivienne softly explained for Lugh.

“There’s such a thing? I didn’t know about it at all.”

Lugh was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t expected there to be such a thing.

He had no way of experiencing such a problem. After all, his runes were purple runes from the start. They were top-notch runes, and he even had some golden runes. Their levels were even higher.

Lugh didn’t have any runes that were lower than purple. In addition, he did not have the relevant system’s understanding, which was why he was curious about this problem.

The moment Lugh said this, everyone’s gaze focused on him. Their eyes widened as they looked at him in surprise.

It can’t be. A common thought appeared in their minds.

Lugh couldn’t have all high-grade runes, right? If he did, then he would truly be a monster.

Even a 9-star rune-master might not be able to guarantee that the runes he condensed were all high-grade runes.

The condensation of high-grade runes was extremely rare.

They were all stunned.

They thought that Lugh’s runes were all high-grade runes. They would definitely be green runes.

If they knew that Lugh’s runes were all purple runes, or even golden runes, who knew what they would think.

When the time came, how shocked would they be?

Rexton’s face was filled with helplessness.

“The Lion Horse Guards are really inferior to the young master. He is too strong.”

“I agree, ” Vivienne also echoed.

Lugh was a little speechless.

The Lion Horse Guards weren’t weak?

He had only used two runic abilities, and they weren’t even the two most destructive ones.

Especially the runes that controlled the flow of water.

This time, he hadn’t chosen to control the blood in the Lion Horse Guards’ bodies. Instead, he had chosen to put the moisture in the air.

The reason he had done this was that these Lion Horse Guards were all rune-makers. When they were on guard, it wouldn’t be easy for him to control the blood in their bodies.

As for the other more exaggerated abilities, he did not use them.

With a casual use of the runes, he had wiped them out.

At first, they thought that even if they were weak, they could still hold on for ten to twenty minutes. In the end, it had only taken an instant.

Just like that, are you telling me that they are not strong?

It is because I am too strong.

Lugh really didn’t know what to say.

Hi pulled Clare over and said casually, “Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s go and see how the army is doing.”

If they continued discussing, he was afraid that he would lose himself in the crazy adoration of these people.

He had just killed a few useless lions and horses, yet he had become an expert.

He absolutely couldn’t lose himself in these compliments.

The Simon Empire was the weakest of the nine great empires. The true geniuses were all in the Xi Zhao Empire.

What he said was too powerful, and this weight was definitely not small.

The few of them walked along the ancestral path.

Thinking of the Runic Academy’s assessment, Lugh casually asked, “What exactly is the Runic Academy’s assessment about?”

“The Divine Monument.”

Expert Lorca replied, “The origin of the divine monument is very big.”

“Divine Monument?”

Lugh was stunned for a moment.

What was a divine monument?

He didn’t have any memories of this aspect in his mind. Moreover, he hadn’t seen any records of the divine monument in the books he had read.

…

Lugh had instantly resolved the crisis. Their hearts, which were hanging in the air, instantly settled down.

They were full of confidence in the safety of the road to the Xi Zhao Empire.

Even their words were much more relaxed.

Vivienne smiled and asked, “Do you still remember the twelve human ancestors I mentioned? The divine monuments were built by them, and their main purpose was to select geniuses among the human race.

“In the beginning, they always went to the tribe that needed the divine monument. Later on, the nine great empires were established, and these divine monuments moved back and forth between the nine great empires. However, later on, the rune-masters felt that it was too troublesome, so the Xi Zhao Empire established the first Rune Academy. These divine monuments were always placed in the Rune Academy, specifically to select talents for the human race.

“At that time, the Xi Zhao Empire was the strongest, which was why they had established the first Rune Academy. Naturally, the divine monuments were placed in the academy. There were a total of 108, which corresponded to the 108 stars in the sky. Each divine monument would produce a different illusion, which measured the students’ strength, comprehension, potential, and other aspects.

“In the history of the human race, there were only 16 people who lit up these 108 divine monuments. The one who used the shortest time was the Ritz Rune King, who was also the most powerful 9-star rune-master in the world. The latest one was Eich from the Ice Empire.

“She took two months, but she is still very powerful. In the last hundred years, no one except Eich has been able to light up these divine monuments.

Lorca continued, “There is a trend when the geniuses of the human race burst forth. That happens when there are a lot of geniuses in an era, but it soon turns into a period when there is a shortage of geniuses. It is very difficult for geniuses to be born in this period.

“The reason is very difficult for even the symbol kings to explain. They can only guess that it is caused by the flow of fate. The development of any matter will go through a decline from a climax and then return to a climax. It will fluctuate in this process.”
