But Iz didn't need to demonstrate that he had grasped a second Root Magic.
"Not even a little bit?"
"Right. Not even a little bit."
'Tch... so unassailable, are we?'
Lu Cang couldn't be bothered to discuss the topic any further.
'Iz probably wasn't lying to me. It was just annoying to think that he'd grasped Root Magic so much faster than I had.'
So he changed the topic. "What did you talk to An Zheng about yesterday?"
"We discussed a few things about the Root Source. And those missing records you mentioned—I helped him recall some things."
"Oh..."
"So, how is he now?"
"His condition is quite poor. He has reached the end of his life and has, in fact, already used many medicines to prolong it."
"But the backlash he suffered from pursuing the Root Source was also severe. The effects have essentially canceled each other out, so he'll barely manage to live out a normal lifespan."
