The old turtle was slightly taken aback; he hadn't thought that Sun Wukong would see the matter in such a way.
But upon reflection, it seemed there was a sliver of truth to it.
Being uncivilized meant being a beast, and even after gaining intelligence, one would retain primitive instincts.
And although these instincts were cruel, they were the best way to survive, as well as the innate survival skills of the Demon Beasts.
Sun Wukong started walking towards his spiritual platform, clearly not willing to discuss the matter further as he had more important things to do.
After witnessing the old turtle in battle, he suddenly had a realization and naturally understood some tactics in combat.
The reason for enlisting the old turtle was simply to have someone to discuss with and to receive more advice.
