Chapter 32 Awakening and Transcendence

"Aren't vampires and werewolves sworn enemies? There is no reproductive isolation between these two species?"

Li Rui rubbed the tooth marks on his arm, wiped off the drool with a tissue, and asked curiously.

In all the myths, vampires and werewolves are irreconcilable and opposing races. Why did Luo Li's parents appear as a pair of aliens?

Fantasy version of Romeo and Juliet?

"It's a vampire! Not a vampire, you're racist!"

Luo Li retorted, covering her head, but the posture in which she squatted on the ground and looked up at Li Rui was neither imposing nor convincing.

"Strigoi and werewolves are not reproductively isolated, but they rarely give birth to offspring, so I am a genius who combines the advantages of the two races!"

"So you're a mule?"

"Ahh! You are so annoying! You are a mule!"

Luo Li jumped up frantically.

After suppressing Luo Li's bite, Li Rui frowned suspiciously.

"A special race like you should be far superior to humans since childhood? Why didn't I see you in the junior high school competition?"

This is what Li Rui just realized.

If there were an outlier like Luo Li, or an awakened person participating in the competition, it would be impossible for him to kill all directions.

And in high school, they popped up like mushrooms in the ground, where did they die before?

"Eh? Don't you know? Awakened people are forbidden to participate in U15 competitions, and superhumans are prohibited from participating in U18 competitions."

"Huh? Don't awakened and transcendent mean the same thing?"

Li Rui always thought that they just expressed things differently.

"It's different. An awakened person is not necessarily an extraordinary person, and an extraordinary person is not necessarily an awakened person."

Luo Li pouted, organized her words, and explained seriously: "Generally speaking, an awakened person refers to ordinary human beings who suddenly activate the hidden power in their blood or spirit at a certain point in time, but when they continue to grow to a certain stage , when it officially enters the lowest energy level, it is called a transcendent."

"The black iron steps?"

"Yes, all powerful beings who have entered the stage are called superhumans, but not all supernatural beings are awakened!"

"For example, people like us who are born aliens don't need to be awakened. From birth, there is power far beyond ordinary people in the blood. In addition, every civilization has its own seekers. They, as ordinary people, through cultivation, absorb the power of the world. With great power, the upper limit of growth may not be lower than that of awakened ones."

"Oh, I understand. Awakened is a narrow concept. It refers only to humans who are awakened but have not advanced yet. Transcendent is a broad concept. All intelligent life with extraordinary power can be called Transcendent."

Li Rui suddenly realized.

There is some overlap between these two words, so he has not been able to figure out the subtle difference.

"It's almost understandable in this way."

Luo Li nodded in agreement.

"Then let's get to know each other again. My name is Li Rui, and I am an awakened person."

Smiling, she stretched out her hand to Luo Li. She froze for a moment, but quickly reacted, showing a beautiful smile.

Putting her hands on her waist, as if holding an invisible skirt, Luo Li bent slightly towards Li Rui: "Princess Fanzhuo Frostwolf——Margaret Robin, have you met my dear?" Your Excellency Li Rui."

After saluting, she held Li Rui's hand and shook it lightly twice.

Holding the white and tender catkins in his palms, Li Rui couldn't feel any rough calluses. These hands didn't look like they had been practicing martial arts all year round!

The two looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths smiled tacitly.

The estrangement in their hearts disappeared, and the relationship between them seemed to be one step closer.

"Let's go, take you to eat delicious food."

After rubbing Luo Li's head, Li Rui walked out with a smile.

"What's delicious? Have you discovered anything new?"

Holding Li Rui's arm, Luo Li hung half of her body on his arm.

Knowing that Li Rui has a big mouth, Luo Li is very interested in the good things he said.

Sensing the magnificence on his arm, Li Rui's muscles stiffened a little.

Trying to calm down the throbbing in his heart, he forced himself to forget the touch on his arm and changed the subject.

"There is a Sichuan restaurant not far from the school. Your favorite Maoxuewang is very authentic."

Having said this, Li Rui was suddenly taken aback.

No wonder... Vampires like to eat Maoxuewang, there seems to be nothing wrong with it...

It's just that the elegant image of drinking virgin's blood with a red wine glass collapsed in her mind. Every time Luo Li ate Maoxuewang, her nose and tears would fly together.

"Mao Xue Wang? Long live!"

Luo Li yelled excitedly, pulled Li Rui and ran away.

The figure of the two holding hands and running across the campus broke the hearts of many ignorant teenagers and girls.

On this day, at least half of the people in the school posted their "broken love" circle of friends...

……………………

"Xiao Wei, I'm back and I brought you your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, as well as Kung Pao Chicken."

Back home, Li Rui had just changed his shoes when he found Li Wei lying on the dining table with the exercise books scattered all over the floor.

After glancing at the teammate data on the system panel, Li Rui silently put the dishes on the table, then went back to his bedroom to wash and change clothes, ignoring her the whole time.

Every day when I go home, I see my sister pretending to be dead... Is it that difficult to write homework?

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

When Li Rui changed his clothes and came out, Li Wei immediately rushed up and hugged his waist.

All the snot and tears rubbed against him.

"what happened again?"

Li Rui gently picked her up and kissed her aggrieved face.

"Can you not do your homework?"

"no."

Without any hesitation, Li Rui ruthlessly broke her fantasy.

"Wow... Brother, you are a badass, I hate you!"

Struggling to get off Li Rui, Li Wei ran to the restaurant and cried pitifully.

While crying, I still forgot to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs.

Seeing her choking and gnawing ribs, Li Rui in the living room suppressed a smile, thinking about the information he got today.

The battles with Yi Kaicheng and Luo Li only gained experience points, but no gold coins... Sure enough, you still have to kill lives to get gold coins.

Maybe... the so-called system gold coins are the realization of the soul, vitality or other things of the killed target.

However, what are the fragments of the basic law?

Looking at the 13 basic law fragments on the panel, Li Rui was puzzled.

There is no such thing in the game!

System: "Law fragments are necessary elements for equipment upgrades. All special attributes need to be smelted and recast from the law fragments of this plane."

Li Rui's pupils shrank suddenly, which meant that upgrading equipment would be more difficult than imagined!

Gold coins... gold coins...

Tapping his fingers lightly on his thigh, Li Rui pondered for a moment, then took out his terminal and called Wang Lei.
