Wuyi felt Liwei's presence behind him. He could smell her unique bloodline Qi.
"You," she said.
Unlike other statues that could take energy from demonics or other beings, the Statue of Knowledge and Light had no other direct sources of energy to absorb. They only depended on passive absorption or energy that other statues shared. However, since the Statue of Valor and the Statue of Shadow required a lot of energy to be summoned, the energy shared with the Statue of Light and the Statue of Knowledge was very limited. The Statue of Knowledge had no other direct option. But the Statue of Light had one direct source to draw large quantities from—her. So whenever Wuyi was with her, the statue would keep urging him to take her Qi as much as he could. Wuyi turned. He almost had her in his arms. It was like hunger.
"Something is different! There feels something righteous and celestial about you," she said.
He sighed. "No," he said. "Nothing like that."
