 Chapter 3000: A Waste Without Even a Guardian

Lei Hao's brother?

Looking at their human forms, they didn't look very similar. 

Brothers usually have some resemblance, so Lin Moyu immediately guessed they weren't full brothers.

Lei Hao took a drink, let out a big burp, and exhaled a cloud of alcohol breath, making Lei Wang frown.

Lei Hao said, "You want spots?"

Lei Xuan frowned, looking matter-of-fact, "You're not using your spots anyway, keeping them is just a waste. Why not let me allocate them?"

Lei Hao laughed loudly, "So what if I waste all my spots? Why should I let you allocate them? Who do you think you are?"

Lei Xuan's face changed slightly, anger rising, "Don't forget, I'm your big brother."

Lei Hao laughed even louder, "We just have the same father. If I acknowledge you, you're my big brother. If I don't, you're nothing."

Lin Moyu now roughly understood - the two were likely half-brothers with the same father but different mothers.

A powerful beast often has many mates. Children from different mates, though sharing a father, may not have deep feelings for each other.

Many brothers even kill each other to compete for resources.

The victor often represents having a strong bloodline.

The weak have only death as an option.

Survival of the fittest is fully displayed among beasts.

Compared to humans, it's much more brutal, but similarly, competition among beasts lacks the cunning and scheming of humans - it's mostly straightforward.

Like Lei Hao's attitude towards Lei Xuan, and Lei Xuan directly asking for ancestral ground spots.

If this happened among humans, it certainly wouldn't be done this way.

Lei Xuan was now in an awkward position. He looked coldly at Lei Hao, containing his anger, "You should know these spots are useful. If the clan elders learn you're wasting them like this, it won't be good."

Lei Hao chuckled, "Then go tell them. I'm wasting the spots. If there's an issue, let the elders come find me."

Seeing Lei Hao was completely unreasonable, Lei Xuan suddenly changed tack, "If you have any requests, you can say so. We can discuss it."

Lei Hao said bluntly, "No requests. I just don't like you and don't want to give them to you. I know you want to use the spots to gain favors. If you want spots, have that person come kneel before me and beg. Then I might give him one."

Lei Hao's words were arrogant and unreasonable.

He was completely disregarding Lei Xuan.

Lei Xuan wanted spots to gain favors and build relationships, while Lei Hao demanded those people come kneel and beg him - an impossible request.

Lei Xuan's face turned ashen, his purple skin faintly turning white, his fists clenching audibly.

If it were anyone else, they would either attack immediately or storm off angrily.

But although Lei Xuan was angry, he didn't attack or leave.

Lei Xuan lowered his voice, "Lei Hao, we're still brothers after all. Don't push things too far. Although Father dotes on you and the elders give you some face, you need to weigh many things carefully. Don't go too far."

"The use of spots is a rule set by our ancestors, for the benefit of the whole clan."

Lei Hao took a big drink, "How I do things is none of your business. I'll say it again - if you want spots, have that person come kneel and beg me. I might deign to give him one."

"Don't waste your breath here. My spots are also part of clan rules. I can give them to whoever I want. Even the elders can't interfere."

Lei Xuan's gaze flickered, a hint of killing intent appearing in his cold eyes. Then his gaze moved from Lei Hao, swept over Lin Moyu and the others, and finally he turned to leave.

He left without a word.

After Lei Xuan left, Lei Hao drank two big bowls of wine and said loudly, "What bad luck to have such trash show up."

Lin Moyu smiled, "He wanted to kill you just now."

Lei Hao said, "Very normal. I want to kill him too, but I can't yet. When I reach Dao Venerable realm, I'll definitely finish him off."

Lin Moyu said, "You're half-brothers. Doesn't your father intervene?"

Lei Hao said, "You know about raising venomous insects? This is our clan's competition model. The victor becomes king, the loser dies."

"But between him and me, I can only be the victor. He's destined to die, so there's no need to pay him any mind. He's just a future dead man."

As he said this, Lei Hao seemed full of confidence.

It wasn't that he was arrogant or overly confident in himself, but that he was stating a fact.

This made Lin Moyu curious about where Lei Hao's confidence came from.

Lin Moyu thought of the guardian behind Lei Hao. If someone tried to kill Lei Hao, that guardian would surely intervene.

But Lin Moyu wasn't sure if the guardian would intervene in a fight between clan members.

Lin Moyu probed, "What about that guardian?"

Lei Hao, slightly drunk, said, "That's right, I have a guardian and he doesn't. So I can only kill him, he has no chance of killing me."

"That Lei Xuan kid, just because he was born a few thousand years earlier and his cultivation is a bit higher than mine, he doesn't understand shit."

"My bloodline is far beyond his comparison. A fool without even a guardian, what's he worth?"

Combining Lei Hao's words with his own knowledge, Lin Moyu gained a clearer understanding of the beast race's system.

The beast race greatly values bloodlines. While bloodlines don't determine everything, they do indicate potential to some degree.

Those with strong bloodlines may not necessarily become the strongest.

But those with weak bloodlines can never become strong.

This principle is deeply rooted among beasts, with no exceptions.

Lei Hao has a strong bloodline, so he has a guardian behind him to protect his life and ensure he grows smoothly.

Moreover, the power of the Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger bloodline truly manifests after reaching Dao Venerable realm.

The gap between bloodlines becomes increasingly apparent after entering Dao Venerable realm, eventually becoming insurmountable.

Lei Xuan was born thousands of years before Lei Hao, but his realm is only one small level higher.

In fact, Lei Hao might reach Dao Venerable before him - this shows the difference in bloodline strength.

Because of his extremely strong bloodline, Lei Hao is already being groomed as a future clan leader candidate.

So Lei Hao knows some clan secrets that Lei Xuan is unaware of.

In fact, a huge gap has already formed between them, and it will only grow larger.

When Lei Hao becomes a Dao Venerable, even if Lei Xuan also reaches that realm, he won't be Lei Hao's match.

The same techniques will be more powerful in Lei Hao's hands.

Lei Hao dismissed Lei Xuan without concern, quickly putting the matter out of his mind.

But Lin Moyu remained inwardly vigilant. Lei Xuan's parting glance had clearly shown resentment towards him and his group.

Perhaps he thought Lei Hao had given the spots to Lin Moyu, hence his reaction.

Moreover, Lei Xuan's ability to endure made Lin Moyu feel it was better to be cautious.
