The Legendary Man novel Chapter 951

The Legendary Man Chapter 951-“Our next meal? Well, I just hope this meal won’t be our last. I have yet to complete my research. I don’t want it to end like this…” Charleigh mumbled as he munched on the meat.

Ksana then whipped out a huge bottle of hard liquor and chugged on it before saying, “I really don’t know what you were thinking, Charleigh. Why abandon your life as heir to the throne in Rodunst to carry out some genetic research? Now, look where it has gotten you. Not only does your own family reject you, but you will also only be a pawn to either Chanaea or Remdik, regardless of which side you end up with. You have a great talent for cultivation, but you used all of it in your research instead. Sure, you became an Archmage, but you might’ve gotten past Divine Realm long ago if you focused solely on cultivation instead. What is it that drives you to make yourself suffer like this?”

Charleigh, who was lying on the ground, looked up at Ksana and the bottle of hard liquor as he replied, “Let me have a sip of that hard liquor, and I’ll tell you.”

Ksana glanced at the bottle before picking it up and pouring the booze directly into Charleigh’s mouth.

After gulping down the hard liquor that he never tried his entire life, Charleigh flashed Ksana a wry smile and asked, “Would you believe me if I told you that someone had cursed me?”

A curse?

Ksana shot him a confused look and shook her head lightly in response.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Charleigh let out a helpless sigh as he replied, “Let me put it this way. The reason behind my rapid cultivation progress is that I am able to grasp cultivation methods quickly. It wouldn’t even be an overstatement to say that I get this strange sensation after seeing a technique being performed once. It’s like asking yourself what one plus one will get you. You already know the answer without having to perform the calculation.”

“That’s why I said you’re a genius. It’s a shame you didn’t put that talent of yours to good use,” Ksana exclaimed as she recalled the younger days of being forced to drink Holy Blood and training really hard.

“It’s not like I wanted it! This talent is exactly what cursed me! I used to just be a guy who was talented at cultivation, but a powerful cultivator arrived in Rodunst as a guest when I was fourteen. He told us that modern medicine has proven genetics to be the determining factor of humanity’s development, and he proposed that we use genetic technology to filter out all the special genes cultivators have. After that, we could modify the genes of embryos so they’ll be born with the potential for cultivation!” Charleigh exclaimed with his teeth tightly clenched.

His eyes went wide as though he had recalled something terrifying as he continued, “You have no idea how his proposal opened up the doors to my research. I used to be a proud and arrogant man who wanted to be number one in everything. When I heard that no one had applied the theory that the cultivator proposed, I felt a strong urge to do so. I then went down the path of doing research on genetic technology and couldn’t stop myself at all. Did you really think I never considered getting past Divine Realm before conducting my research? Well, just so you know, one has to overcome their inner demons in order to reach Divine Realm. Mine is the desire to perfect my genetic research, which is clearly an impossible task!”

Ksana was a little shocked when she saw the veins on Charleigh’s forehead bulging from frustration.

She was aware of the fact that one had to overcome one’s inner demons as part of Divine Tribulation, but she never thought it would be his research on genetic technology.

Although she had no idea what genetic technology was all about, she could understand why the ability to produce Grandmaster Realm cultivators was an overpowered skill to have.

Otherwise, Chanaea and Remdik would not have gone to such extreme lengths just to get him.

“I may not be able to understand what you’re talking about, but I think I can relate to your pain,” Ksana said while appearing to be in deep thought.

Charleigh shook his head. “No, you don’t. As I went down the rabbit hole of my research, I couldn’t even bring myself to cultivate anymore. The only thing I see when I close my eyes is all the scientific data I’ve collected from my experiments. I mean how else do you think Jonathan was able to catch me? Given my cultivation level, I—”

Ksana grabbed her backpack and jumped toward the side before he could finish his sentence.

Boom!

She had just dragged Charleigh aside when a gigantic battle axe came hurtling through the sky and landed right where they were a second ago.

Ksana slowly wore the backpack on her back as she looked up at the sky.

Three figures could be seen descending rapidly with their parachutes open.
