Li Jie spoke in a serious tone "They are fricking monsters... when I saw their powers in real life, I was so shocked... even our tanks or any firepower didn't stand a chance in front of them."
"Some of them are walking nuclear powerhouses which could easily destroy a city."
Zhao Tian frowned inquisitively "If our country has that much power, wouldn't it have been the ruler of this world? World wars and countless global conflicts, triggering widespread devastation would surely happen plunging humanity into an era of unrelenting chaos."
A chuckle left Li Jie's lips "Our country does not have a monopoly on this kind of energy they call astral energy, Tian. There are strong cultivators in most of the powerful nations in the world."
"Every country has signed a peaceful treaty with the cultivators refraining them from damaging public properties and keeping their existence as a secret."
"In every nation, there exists an individual known as the 'Ombudsman', who serves as the highest authority in the realm of cultivation and is responsible for supervising the actions and operations of fellow cultivators within the boundaries of the country."
Hearing all of this, Zhao Tian narrowed his eyes "It all seems so complicated."
Li Jie laughed with a casual shrug "Well, they are dangerous entities. Cultivators are even hired as bodyguards for some high-profile people and government officials."
Zhao Tian spoke, "Then there will also be people who could hire cultivators to assassinate a person."
Li Jie gave a nod "Yeah, you are right. There is also a large secret organization within the government to keep an eye on these cultivators."
"A secret organization to keep an eye on them?" Zhao Tian asked intrigued.
Li Jie thought for a moment and spoke "Let's say, you are joining a boxing match, and if the opponent is secretly a cultivator. Can you beat him? The answer is no."
"So that's why this organization exists to supervise these fields so the cultivators don't get in the way of normal people. If not, cultivators would dominate in every field... and the Olympics would turn into a war haha."
"That makes sense..." Zhao Tian muttered under his breath.
Li Jie's smile widened "I even had doubts about you first because of your impressive display of strength and speed in basketball. But later I found out that you are not a cultivator, you just have great physical strength."
Zhao Tian could only smile bitterly, speaking about basketball he suddenly remembered something "That's right. Old man... do you know Quon Chen? Is he also a cultivator?" he asked as he had a small match with him before.
"Quon Chen..." Li Jie murmured his name in thought and spoke "Oh, him... that junior student. He begged me so that he could play basketball."
"Since he is a cultivator, he really couldn't play in major games but he really likes to play the game, so he asked me to at least let him play within the university and I agreed."
'So that's why he is holding back against the match with me...' Zhao Tian realized and a sigh left his lips.
"Seems like you are getting so interested in this cultivation and stuff." Li Jie asked with a curious smile and Zhao Tian nodded "Anyone would be interested to know about people who use superpowers."
Li Jie sighed heavily "Well, then since it's you..." he stood up and walked to the side. With a practiced hand, he reached for a concealed lever, causing a hidden door to creak open and there was a safe locker in the space.
