"Hearing that Bai Fu had been ambushed but had managed to defeat the attackers in a one against ten scenario, Yuan Yi remained very calm.

This was the Bai Fu he had high hopes for, so such combat achievements were hardly surprising.

However, after learning the specifics of the battle, he could no longer remain calm.

"That is..."

Yuan Yi stared intently at the video footage where Shadow Fu was still composedly commanding the Spiritual Ability Army.

Others might not notice anything special about Shadow Fu, mistaking her at first glance for Bai Fu's flat-chested sister, but as the person who had provided Bai Fu the 'Apostle's Path,' how could he fail to see the problem?

"True Name. This is definitely a Spiritual Ability Life born after the bestowal of the True Name!"

Whoosh!

Yuan Yi, overwhelmed with emotion, swept his hand across the table in a subconscious gesture, knocking everything onto the floor.

The sudden commotion startled Ranie, who was talking to him through a communicator. Having been a student to the teacher for many years, this was the first time he saw his teacher lose his composure.

"Teacher, what on earth has happened?" Ranie asked anxiously.

"Seeker, a Seeker, and probably not just an ordinary one!"

Yuan Yi paced back and forth in the room, his excitement clearly abnormal.

He had bestowed the 'Apostle's Path' to Bai Fu partly as an investment and to curry favor with her, but also to test whether Bai Fu was truly a Seeker.

A Seeker, to put it plainly, is one of the pioneers who first reached the Super Supreme Realm in the journey of Superpower exploration.

They were the forerunners in the journey of Superpower exploration, and they opened new paths in the pursuit of eternity for intelligent life, hence they were called Seekers.

Due to the passage of time, many Seekers have faded away, but not all have perished. In the pursuit of eternal life and the path of eternity, many Seekers engaged in cunning strategies.

Some Seekers transformed themselves into mechanical or digital life forms, aiming to ascend mechanically and become the Mechanical God for eternal life.

Others started to modify their own bodies at the genetic level. They integrated genes from other Longevity Species or outright changed their species, achieving a form of 'Evolution' that was atypical.

This 'Evolution' was cross-species, discontinuous, and entirely different from the 'Life Ascension, Racial Evolution' that came with power improvement, and it carried immense risks. Some became monsters as a result, while others increased their power tremendously.

Other Seekers chose to start from the spiritual level, extracting their spirit from their flesh and injecting it into another body with exceptional talent, starting their cultivation anew.

Given their undiminished strong will, these Seekers would advance rapidly in their re-cultivation, reaching the peak in a much shorter time, after which they could continue pursuing eternity.

This approach was not without risks: they could suffer memory loss and inevitably face a fragmentation of their spirit. With too much fragmentation, there was no turning back, but risk-wise, it was much less than genetic ascension.

Yuan Yi had always suspected Bai Fu was the third type of Seeker because her advancement speed was simply too fast, faster even than the Oath Lord, that martial fanatic. But he had no evidence.

Now, [Shadow Fu] is solid evidence that Bai Fu is a Seeker!

'The Apostle's Path' is Advanced Knowledge at the Dominator Level. Normally, for a Catastrophe Level individual to master it, it would take twenty to thirty days, or even months.

Not Bai Fu, though. Just over ten days had passed, and not only had she mastered the 'Apostle's Path,' but she also used the True Name to create a Spiritual Ability Life. What else could she be, if not a Seeker?

Of course, it might be possible that Bai Fu had already mastered this knowledge before obtaining the 'Apostle's Path' from him, but this also suggests that Bai Fu could very likely be a Seeker.

Because, if you count it up carefully, Bai Fu has only advanced from Catastrophe to this point in two years. In that time, she also had to improve her power, master Dominator Level Advanced Knowledge, and carry out various tasks—she is a master of time management!

"Should I go see her now?"

"No, that's not right, it's too purpose-driven and might cause her to react negatively."

"Moreover, it's very possible she's in a state of memory loss right now, otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to collect Advanced Knowledge everywhere."

"It's prudent not to rush over, but I can do her a few favors while she's amnesiac, so when she recovers her memory, my chances of getting her help will be much higher."

Yuan Yi's mind was racing, quickly devising various strategies to benefit Fu.

His main goal in befriending a Seeker was to learn the Seeker's methods of prolonging life.

He was too old, so old that he had started to fear death.

He had collected so much knowledge along the way; if he were to die without digesting all of it, he would never rest in peace.

...

As Yuan Yi continued to ponder his strategies for Fu, Bai Fu, who was oblivious to these developments, was still in pursuit of Frank and others.

However, her offensive had significantly weakened compared to before.

How could it not?

With Julia no longer carried on her person, the myriad percentage-based consuming skills she had employed during those few minutes of all-out exertion had drained her Spiritual Energy.

Currently, without the boost from Spirit Blessing and unable to unleash the Dark Force Field, she had ample attributes but could scarcely use any skills, forced to throw out only low-cost Prayer Cards."
