When Lucian heard Charlie’s question, he shook his head and said, “I don’t know where the Hubbert Battalion is. When I went to the Hubbert Battalion, I was taken there in a coma, and I was also taken out in a coma when I left. Moreover, the Hubbert Battalion’s base is not much different from the dead soldiers’ base. They are all underground buildings and could even be called an underground city. The students at Hubbert Battalion live in this underground city. I didn’t see the sun or moon while I was at Hubbert Battalion for twenty years.”
Charlie was horrified and asked, “Twenty years without the sun. I can understand that the dead soldiers did not have a choice, but you have the right to choose, so why didn’t you resist or escape when you got there and found that it was a dark life?”
“Why would I?” Lucian said without hesitation, “The twenty years in Hubbert Battalion went by in the blink of an eye. Every minute and second there was incomparably fulfilling. In the twenty years there, I broke through from an eight-star martial arts expert to the Illuminating Realm, and from the Illuminating Realm to the Dark Realm, followed by the second and third levels. In my eighty-five years of life, the twenty years when I lived in Hubbert Battalion were the most fulfilling!”
Charlie did not expect that Lucian, who looked like he was only in his early sixties, was actually eighty-five years old.
Still, Lucian was a Dark Realm expert, after all. The natural lifespan of a Dark Realm expert was over one hundred and twenty to a hundred and thirty years old. So, it only made sense for him to look younger than his actual age.
When Lucian mentioned the Hubbert Battalion, he had an expression filled with regrets as he said, “I still feel regrets about my cultivation speed back then in the Hubbert Battalion. I was not able to reach Hubbert Battalion’s promotion standard. If I could have broken through level four of the Dark Realm during my twenty years there, I would have been able to stay there for another ten years or more...”
It was only then that Charlie came to a sudden realization.
Not everyone had the same luck as himself to be able to master Reiki quickly and obtain a strength stronger than that of martial arts experts directly.
In order to obtain refinement in their cultivation, the vast majority of martial arts experts had to cultivate non-stop every day for decades.
