Chapter 32 - Awaken and Transcendent are different

"Aren't vampires and werewolves mortal enemies? Is there no reproductive isolation between these two species?"

Li Rui rubbed the tooth marks on his arm and wiped the saliva with a paper towel, asking curiously.

In all the myths, vampires and werewolves were antagonistic races. Why were Luo Li's parents so strange?

The fantasy version of Romeo and Juliet?

"It is the blood race! Not vampires! You racist!"

Luo Li retorted, but she squatted on the ground and looked up at Li Rui. Her posture was not imposing and persuasive.

"The blood race and werewolves have no reproductive isolation, but only rarely produce offspring, so I am a genius that contains the advantages of the two major races!"

"So, you are a mule?"

"Ah! You're so annoying! You are the mule!"

Luo Li jumped wildly.

Suppressed by Luo Li's bite, Li Rui frowned with some doubts.

"Special races like you should have surpassed humans since childhood. Why didn't I see you in the junior high school competition?"

This was what Li Rui just realized.

If there was an alien such as Luo Li, or if an awakened person participated in the game, he would not have been able to fight against them.

In high school, they popped up like mushrooms from the ground. Where did they live before?

"Eh? Don't you know? Awakeners are prohibited from participating in U15 competitions, and Transcendent people are prohibited from participating in U18 competitions."

"What? Awakener and Transcendent don't mean the same thing?"

Li Rui always thought that they were just expressed differently.

"Not the same. Awakeners are not necessarily Transcendents, and Transcendents are not necessarily Awakeners."

Luo Li muttered, organizing her thoughts. She explained carefully. "Generally speaking, the Awakeners specifically mean that ordinary humans suddenly activate the hidden power in the blood or the soul at a certain point in time, but they continue to grow to a certain stage, and when it officially enters the lowest energy level, they are called a Transcendent."

"Black Iron Stage?"

"Yes, all-powerful beings who have entered the ranks are called Transcendents, but not all Transcendents are Awakeners!"

"For example, we who are born not human, don't need to awaken. From birth, we have more power than mortals. In addition, each civilization has its own path finders. They use mortals to absorb the world through cultivation. The strength of growth is not necessarily lower than the awakening."

"Oh, get it, an Awakener is a narrow concept, which means human beings who are awake but not advanced. A Transcendent is a broad concept. All intelligent life with Transcendent power can be called Transcendents."

Li Rui suddenly realized.

These two words had a certain overlap, so he had not figured out the subtle differences.

"You can understand it this way."

Luo Li nodded in agreement.

"Then get to know me again. My name is Li Rui, I am an Awakener."

He smiled and put out a hand to Luo Li. She froze for a moment and quickly reacted with a beautiful smile.

Putting her hands on the waist side, as if carrying an invisible skirt, Luo Li stooped slightly towards Li Rui. "Princess Vandro Frost Wolf-Margaret Robin, I'm honored to meet you, dear Li Rui."

After curtsying, she took Li Rui's hand and gently shook it twice.

The white, smooth, and tender hands were in the palm of his hand. Li Rui could not feel any rough calluses. These hands were not like the hands that practiced martial arts all year round!

The two of them faced each other and the corner of their mouths raised a smile tacitly.

The gap in their hearts was gone, and the relationship between them seemed to be closer.

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

Rubbing Luo Li's head, Li Rui smiled and walked out.

"What's delicious food? Do you have any new discoveries?"

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

Knowing that Li Rui's mouth was discerning, Luo Li was very interested in the good things he said.

Perceiving the magnificence on his arms, Li Rui's muscles had a trace of stiffness.

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

"There is a Sichuan restaurant not far from the school. Your favorite duck blood in chili sauce is very authentic."

Speaking of this, Li Rui suddenly had a thought.

No wonder… Vampires liked to eat duck blood in chili sauce. It seemed there was nothing wrong…

It was just that the elegant appearance of a vampire holding a red wine glass with virgin blood in his mind collapsed. Every time Luo Li ate duck blood in chili sauce, she would eat till she was extremely satisfied.

"Duck blood in chili sauce? Wow!"

Luo Li shouted excitedly, pulling Li Rui and running.

Their appearance of holding hands and running across the campus crushed the ignorant young students' hearts.

On this day, at least half of the whole school students sent out their 'broken relationship' moments…

…

"Little Wei, I'm back. I brought your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, and kung pao chicken."

After returning home, Li Ruigang changed his shoes and found that Li Wei was lying on the dining table. The exercise books were scattered all over the place.

Looking at the teammate data in the status panel, Li Rui silently put the dishes on the table, then returned to his bedroom to wash and change clothes and ignored her.

'Every day I go home and see my sister pretending to be dead… Is it so difficult to write an assignment?'

"Ooooooo… Brother…"

After Li Rui changed clothes, Li Wei immediately rushed to hug his waist.

Her snot and tears all rubbed against him.

"What happened again?"

Li Rui gently hugged her and kissed her grievous face.

"Can I not do homework?"

"No."

There was almost no hesitation. Li Rui ruthlessly broke her fantasy.

"Ah… Bad brother, I hate you!"

Li Wei got up and ran to the dining room and cried pitifully.

She cried while still eating the sweet and sour pork ribs.

Looking at her choking and gnawing on the ribs, Li Rui in the living room could not help smiling and thinking about the information he got today.

The battle with Yi Kaicheng and Luo Li only gave him experience points, no gold coins… Sure enough, he still had to kill life to get gold coins.

Maybe… The so-called gold coins were the manifestation of the soul, vitality, or other gadgets of the kill target.

But what were the basic shards?

Looking at the 13-point basic shards on the panel, Li Rui was puzzled.

There was no such thing in the game!

System: "Shards are necessary elements for equipment upgrades, and all special attributes require the rule fragments of the plane to be smelted and recast."

Li Rui's pupils shrank suddenly. This meant that the equipment upgrades would be more difficult than imagined!

Gold coins… Gold coins…

Finger tapping gently on his thigh, Li Rui pondered for a moment. He took out his mobile phone and called Wang Lei.

Editor note: So it seem Awaken and Transcendent are different I wish author tell me earlier so I can just left "awaken" and "Transcendent" word along time waste spending time on deciding which is better. <O^O >
