Struck Out

What did extraordinary humans hold in the highest regard? Power? Wealth? Their own strength?

It was none of these. Their systems were all they held in the highest regard.

As long as their systems were still around, even if they had lost everything, they could still reclaim it all.

As long as their systems were still around, they would still have room for further improvement and bright futures before them.

Their systems represented hope.

So, having his system cut off made Tom feel as if his life had lost all hope.

In actuality, Fang Xingjian had only cut off the Wolf God system from Tom. So, Tom retained the abilities he had gotten from the werewolves' physique, Ghost Wolves' physiques, and hellhounds' physiques through the system. He still possessed the power he had from before.

However, having these were useless. It was because losing his system meant he had also lost all possibility of improving.
