Chapter 2288 Cannot Be The Strongest

“Sure. We’ll find a way to heal you, Zoey. You’ll be up again in no time. And please convince boss to pick one of the techniques to train.”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Once Zoey accepted the technique books, they knew Levi would pick one in the end. He just didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of them after all.

“Oh yeah. If someone tries to attack you guys again, just tell them our names if we’re not around.”

“Why don’t we leave something behind to prove we know them? I mean, tons of people don’t know Levi’s my boss. If they know we’re their friends, they won’t do anything to the boss and Zoey.”

Kirin and the others left something that could prove their identity. They were Divine Leaderboard fighters after all, and that meant they had power and prestige. Just the mention of their names struck fear and reverence in everyone.

“Sure. Thank you.” Zoey took the items too.

“Great. Now we don’t have to worry anymore. Go on with your work, guys. We need to find a way to heal the boss and Zoey.”

Azure Dragon and the others left. They went back to work so they could neutralize the chemicals in Levi’s body as soon as possible. Or at least they thought the weapons actually had an effect on Levi.

……

After they left, Zoey told him seriously, “I know you’re a proud man, and you can’t accept the fact that your disciples are actually tutoring you, but please, don’t let them down. If you really don’t like it, why don’t you just merge their techniques together and create your own? Take the best of everything and make a brand new technique, alright?

“I know you’re smart enough to do that. I just do.”

…

Zoey genuinely wanted Levi to get stronger. That way, Levi wouldn’t let everyone down, and he wouldn’t get embarrassed, and he could also get stronger. It was three birds with one stone.

Levi might do just that in the past. Merging all kinds of techniques together was something he used to do. After all, a lot of his skills were created through the Forbidden Technique.

Even back in the Prison of Darkness, he merged the Forbidden Technique with everything he mastered. In the end, he thought it was a viable method, since he could become absurdly powerful.

However, he could never be the strongest.

It was the same thing here. If Levi merged all the techniques together, he could create something absurd and raise his power to an unimaginable level, but he could never be the strongest.

Zoey smiled at Levi. “Try it out. I know this is acceptable to you. There’s nothing embarrassing about it. As long as you can create it, it’ll be your own thing.”

“No. I really don’t need it,” Levi rejected her suggestion outright.

Zoey asked, “You can’t still be practicing the same thing you did three years ago, can you?”

Levi nodded. “Yes. I’ll do it my own way. Quantity doesn’t always correlate to quality.”

Zoey shook her head, giving up on convincing him anymore. “I see. I’ll respect your choice. I hope you’ll gain something from it, but your chances are slim.”

“Master told me to practice your technique the last time we met, but I refused. She respected my choice and let me choose. I chose to go my own way, so now I’ll respect your choice as well.”

Levi smiled. “Alright then.”

“Oh, you saw what she really looks like, didn’t you? She must have done that because of me. I knew it. She spared you for my sake.”

When she thought about it, she quickly realized why Levi managed to see what Dark Emperor really looked like.

It’s for my sake.

After telling him a few more things, Zoey went back to heal herself.

Levi wanted to observe her, but Death Fiend sent a message to him.

This is going to be trouble.
