"Your father's amazing." Elizabeth said. "Despite having his Spirit Orb atrophied, he can still fight so well using his Talent Abilities."
"A Spirit Orb is essential for our growth, but it is not necessary." I said. "My father and many other hunters have grown stronger even without cultivating it. In a way, even Ellergest too. He was a Rank 3 yet he held much more power than that. The Rank of a Spirit Orb doesn't mean everything."
"You're not wrong, but even then…" Elizabeth wondered. "I wonder if your father's strength is just from his Farmer Talent?"
"Most likely not just that…" I said, thinking about it more deeply. "He has most likely continued cultivating his Ki and Mana together. He has developed a Physique, and with the Dragon Potions I gave to him, which he has drank over time, he most likely developed it even more. There are many ways to grow stronger after all."
