The Pure-Blood Human Path! Another Fierce Warrior Joins the Ranks!

After coming out of the bathroom, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan dried their hair and went to bed.

The two chatted for a while before going to bed.

Shen Qinghan mentioned that Yuan Dongzhi only mastered the skill of remotely controlling the blood and qi in other people's bodies a year after integrating the genes of the Deep Blue Jellyfish King.

She, on the other hand, mastered it in less than half a month, demonstrating a talent far surpassing Yuan Dongzhi's.

She planned to hide her mastery of the skill of manipulating qi and blood, and learn from Lin Zichen to conceal her trump cards.

Once you've mastered even more advanced techniques and become stronger, then you can reveal your ability to control qi and blood.

Since I've already demonstrated enough genius to obtain any resources, there's no need to reveal my full potential.

Hiding your cards is the right choice.

Lin Zichen smiled and said to Shen Qinghan's plan, "Okay, you've grasped the essence of it."

The two chatted like that, making small talk.

When it reached 11 p. m.

Lin Zichen suddenly thought of a question.

He turned to Shen Qinghan and said, "I told you before that you are also Pure-Blood Human, and I asked your master if you could follow the Pure-Blood Human Path. Your master said no, saying that your blood and qi are too weak."

"But then I thought about it again, if you can control other people's blood and qi remotely, there's no reason why you can't control your own blood and qi to temper your body."

"Most importantly, you and I are both special beings. What ordinary people can't do, we can."

As he spoke, Lin Zichen sat up, looked at Shen Qinghan lying beside him, and said seriously, "I'm going to teach you how to temper your body with qi and blood now. Try it and see."

We are all special beings... Shen Qinghan suddenly felt like she had been confessed to, like she was fighting against the whole world with her sweetheart.

But... I didn't feel ashamed; instead, I felt wonderful.

"Hanhan?"

Seeing that Shen Qinghan was somewhat dazed, Lin Zichen called out in confusion.

Hearing this, Shen Qinghan snapped out of her daze and quickly sat up in bed, her eyes resolute. "You're right, we're special. I'm sure I can also temper my body with my blood and qi!"

In the time that follows.

It was late at night.

Lin Zichen was patiently teaching, and Shen Qinghan was diligently learning.

Two and a half hours later.

1:30 AM.

Shen Qinghan suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "It's done! Xiao Chen, I did it!"

She has successfully mastered the Blood Tempering Technique!

They can use their Mental Power to control their own blood and energy, and temper their physical body!

To be able to follow the Pure-Blood Human Path like Lin Zichen!

Lin Zichen was somewhat surprised to see that Shen Qinghan had actually mastered it.

Two and a half hours ago, he had only thought of letting Shen Qinghan give it a try, without having much hope for it.

Because the Blood Tempering Technique has a learning curve.

According to Liu Chuanwu, one's Qi and Blood strength must reach at least the Ordinary Tier 4 in order to have enough Qi and Blood power to temper the physical body.

However, Shen Qinghan's current Biological Rank is only ordinary Tier 2, yet she has mastered the Blood Tempering Technique.

They can use their qi and blood to temper their physical body.

This is a bit surprising.

"Xiao Chen, I can enslave the genes of Exotic Beast to gain Exotic Beast abilities, and you can devour the Exotic Beast Meat to gain Exotic Beast abilities, and you both follow the Pure-Blood Human Path. Now we truly Peerless Twin Stars!"

Shen Qinghan hugged Lin Zichen excitedly, her pretty face flushed with excitement.

Lin Zichen smiled and said, "That's how it should be."

He was happy for Shen Qinghan and was also very excited, but he didn't show it on his face like she did.

It's just my personality.

Shen Qinghan is the type to wear her heart on her sleeve, while he is the type to remain calm and composed.

In the days to come.

Whenever Shen Qinghan was in the dormitory, she would practice the Blood Tempering Technique with Lin Zichen, using her blood and qi to temper her physical body.

With a body tempering master like Lin Zichen by her side, Shen Qinghan didn't take any detours.

The entire process is accelerated in a straight line, resulting in rapid body quenching.

In less than half a month.

Shen Qinghan successfully completed the Skin Tempering in one go.

The Biological Rank evolved directly from ordinary Tier 2 to ordinary Tier 3.

Although not as efficient as Lin Zichen, it was far superior to Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan.

And there's something really amazing about it.

Shen Qinghan had clearly achieved a complete Skin Tempering process, increasing the strength of her skin, but the feel of her skin was no different from before; it remained supple and smooth.

If it weren't for the skin strength test, where Lin Zichen forcefully slashed her hand with a fruit knife, he would have doubted that her skin hadn't been properly tempered.

A few days later.

It was a sunny morning.

Shen Qinghan had no classes in the morning, so she stayed in her room wrapped in a blanket and slept in.

Lin Zichen woke up early, but didn't rush to get out of bed.

He sat with his back against the headboard, browsing the Mission System on the school app on his phone, thinking about taking on some off-campus tasks to earn Credit.

After browsing for a while, I remembered that I had said I would take Shen Qinghan to see blood to toughen her up.

After carefully selecting for half an hour, they finally chose a task involving catching drug dealers both inside and outside the city.

Mission: Capture a 21-person drug trafficking gang. They are armed, but have no mechanically modified humans or Gene Fusionist. Location: Suburbs of Shanhai City.

Award: 50 Credit.

The reward for this mission is only 50 Credit, which means it's not too difficult. It's perfect for taking Shen Qinghan to see blood and experience the feeling of fighting.

Okay, this is the task I've decided on...

Thinking it over, Lin Zichen accepted the task from the system and unlocked more task details.

This mission will begin at 11 p. m. tomorrow. You need to report to the Shanhai City Public Security Headquarters two hours in advance, and then work as an external support officer to arrest drug dealers.

To put it bluntly, he's just a thug.

Lin Zichen suspected that the Mechanical Cyborg he saw when he was a child were likely outside helpers hired by the security headquarters.

"Xiao Chen, when did you wake up?"

Shen Qinghan woke up groggily, and looked at Lin Zichen with sleepy eyes, asking a question.

"I've been awake for over an hour."

After saying that, Lin Zichen continued, "I just accepted a mission on the school app to catch drug dealers both inside and outside the school. I have to go to the public security department to participate in the operation tomorrow night at 9 pm. You'll come with me, and I'll show you some blood."

"OK."

Shen Qinghan agreed without hesitation.

Lin Zichen handed her the phone and said gently, "Then it's decided. Take a look at the task details first, I'll go make breakfast."

"Um."

Shen Qinghan responded and took the phone from Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen didn't stay in the room long. He quickly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and left, heading straight for the refrigerator.

I had only taken a couple of steps when the doorbell rang.

"Ding-dong!"

Upon hearing the doorbell, Lin Zichen immediately used his senses to see who was coming so early in the morning.

Then, he sensed that it was Li Moyu standing outside the door.

What is he doing here?

Lin Zichen was puzzled.

Without giving it much thought, he quickly went to open the door for Li Moyu.

"Creak--"

The door opened.

Upon seeing Lin Zichen, Li Moyu, standing outside the door, went straight to the point. "Lin Zichen, I took on an off-campus mission last night to kill an Ordinary Rank 7 Water Monster. It's risky for me to do it alone. Do you want to come with me?"

"The reward for this mission is 100 Credit. We'll split it 50/50 after it's done, 50 Credit each, and the Water Monster's carcass will also be split 50/50."

"Splitting things 50/50 doesn't mean I'm taking advantage of you. I went home last week and, with my dad's help, I fused with another piece of the Demon Eye Giant Ape Gene. My current strength is at the level of Ordinary Rank 6. Once the Demon Eye Giant Ape Gene is fully activated, my strength can directly increase to the Ordinary Rank 7."

"His strength is no weaker than yours, and might even be stronger."

Li Moyu rattled off a whole bunch of things right off the bat, and then asked again, "So, how about we team up?"

Lin Zichen politely declined. "No, I prefer doing tasks alone; it's more liberating."

He can complete the task by himself and earn all the Credit; there's no need to find a teammate to share them.

Unless her teammate is Shen Qinghan.

As for tasks that are extremely difficult and almost impossible to complete by himself alone, requiring a team, he wouldn't even glance at them.

He doesn't accept tasks he's not 100% confident he can complete, lest he suffer a setback.

Li Moyu looked disapproving. "Lin Zichen, how can you enjoy doing missions alone?"

"With your strength and status, you must know about the existence of the Origin Land."

"The Origin Land is the lair of Exotic Beast, teeming with Exotic Beast. Without a team, humans would find it impossible to move an inch inside."

"As the future stars of humanity, we will inevitably enter the Origin Land sooner or later. Moreover, because we are of similar strength and are classmates, we will most likely become teammates in the future."

"Therefore, the four years of university are the best period for us to form a team and get to know each other. Given this, how can you refuse to go out on missions with me?"

Even if we're not teammates when we go down to the Origin Land later, it won't stop us from teaming up now.

"We're evenly matched, so teaming up would help us improve our teamwork and learn more about team play, preparing us for entering the Origin Land later. Don't you think so?"

"Honestly, if you don't take advantage of these four years of university to practice and team up with others, and instead go and be a lone wolf, you'll definitely regret it later."

"They might not even have a chance to regret it; they could die the moment they enter the Origin Land."

Li Moyu was incredibly talkative; once she started talking, she couldn't stop. In just half a minute, she had delivered a long and detailed explanation to Lin Zichen.

He speaks so fast that his tongue almost gets tied in knots.

Lin Zichen nodded in agreement, saying, "You're right. During these four years of university, it's indeed necessary to team up with others to complete tasks and develop teamwork skills."

He felt that Li Moyu made a lot of sense; being a lone wolf was not advisable, and one had to learn to team up with others.

And teammates need to be of similar skill level.

After thinking it over, the only suitable candidates were Song Yuyan and Liu Chuanwu.

Everyone here is a regular Tier 9; their strengths aren't that different.

However, Liu Chuanwu is the Dean, and he is usually busy with important matters, so he probably doesn't have time to do tasks.

Most importantly, they have their own unique way of making money and don't need to do tasks to earn Credit.

After eliminating those, only the mature and sophisticated senior, Song Yuyan, remained.

Hmm, while my strength isn't too far ahead of Sister Yan's yet, I should find some time to arrange a mission with her...

Lin Zichen thought to himself.

Seeing Lin Zichen's agreement, Li Moyu assumed he had agreed to team up with Lin Zichen and nodded in satisfaction.

"Excellent, this young man is teachable!"

Just as he was trying to finalize the specific details of forming a team with Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen spoke first, "You just mentioned the Origin Land. How much do you know about Origin Land? Could you tell me about it?"

"Don't you know much about it?"

Li Moyu was somewhat puzzled by this.

Judging from the strength Lin Zichen has shown since the start of the school year, his family background must be extremely strong, otherwise they wouldn't be able to cultivate such a peerless genius like him.

With such a powerful family background, there must be many strong individuals in his family who frequently visit the Origin Land; there's no reason he wouldn't know about it.

"I don't know much about it."

Lin Zichen answered honestly.

Li Moyu was very puzzled, but she didn't dwell on it too much. After organizing her thoughts, she quickly gave him a brief explanation of the Origin Land:

"The Origin Land this place is a very complicated topic, and it would take at least half a year to explain it all."

Therefore, I can only give you a brief summary.

"To sum it up in one sentence, the Origin Land is a place where opportunities and dangers coexist."

"If we want to evolve into Rare Tier powerhouses who can fly and escape into the earth, Epic- level powerhouses who can withstand nuclear bombs with their bare bodies, or even Legendary Tier powerhouses who can move mountains and fill seas, then we must go down to the Origin Land."

"The Origin Land contains abundant evolutionary resources, rare and precious materials, Exotic Fruit, and rare and exotic Exotic Beast —it has almost everything. Staying there for a year is equivalent to staying on Earth for ten years, or even a hundred years."

At this point, Li Moyu shook his head. "Conversely, Earth is lacking in evolutionary resources, making it difficult to even cultivate a Rare Tier powerhouse, which is truly tragic."

After listening to Li Moyu's words, Lin Zichen fell into deep thought.

Liu Chuanwu previously stated that the creatures in the Origin Land have been trying to invade Earth, and some powerful figures speculate that it might be because there is something they want on Earth.

So the question arises: what exactly is it about Earth, a planet with scarce evolutionary resources, that would drive life forms from its Origin Land to such a desperate attempt to invade?

"By the way, when are you free? We can discuss a time to go and kill that Sea Monster."

After briefly introducing the Origin Land to Lin Zichen, Li Moyu steered the conversation back to teaming up for quests.

Lin Zichen: "I didn't say I wanted to team up with you."

Li Moyu: "Then what you just did...?"

"You've misunderstood. I just agreed with the idea of training in a team, I didn't say I wanted to team up with you."

After saying that, Lin Zichen suggested, "I think Ma Xiwei is a good match for you. The skill gap between you two isn't too big, and she's very pretty. You could try teaming up with her."

"What do you mean I'm about the same strength as her? Are you looking down on me?"

Li Moyu as if her tail had been stepped on, and her emotions immediately flared up.

Lin Zichen: "That's not what I meant."

"Ha, I think that's exactly what you mean!"

Li Moyu flicked her bangs that were covering her eyes as she spoke, looking annoyed. "You think you're superior just because you won the Newcomer King the Year award? You think you're in a league of your own? Fine! Just wait and see how I beat you up in the Newcomer Tournament next semester! I'll teach you how to be a humble person!"

Lin Zichen was speechless. "Li Moyu, you're being a bit too sensitive. Even the villains in my novels aren't as easily angered as you."

Novels? What novels? He writes novels too?

Li Moyu's eyes lit up, and she momentarily forgot her annoyance. Curious, she asked, "What novel did you write? Tell me the title, and I'll search for it."

"Alright, I won't embarrass myself by showing off. If there's nothing else, I'll go back inside."

Lin Zichen didn't want to waste time with Li Moyu, so he closed the door and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Seeing this, Li Moyu quickly reached her hand through the crack in the door to prevent it from closing, and said to Lin Zichen, "Tell me the title of the book, and I'll give you a reward of 100,000! If 100,000 isn't enough, I'll give you a reward of 1 million! I'll help you top the bestseller list!"

A million-dollar reward?!

Good heavens, the landlord's foolish son!

Lin Zichen quickly pushed the door open, his face immediately breaking into a broad smile. "I've been thinking about it. Novels are written for others to read, there's no point in hiding them. The title is <Childhood Sweetheart: The Pretty Boy Behind the Goddess>."

What kind of weird book title is this?

Li Moyu frowned slightly, suspecting that Lin Zichen had just given a book title as a perfunctory answer.

But then I thought, wait a minute, I'm going to tip him, he must be talking about the book he wrote himself.

A promising Newcomer King Mengnan actually wrote this kind of novel about a womanizer?

Tsk tsk, you really can't judge a book by its cover.

Time flies.

Before we knew it, it was 7:30 p. m.

After dinner, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan went out together and took a taxi to the Shanhai City Public Security Headquarters.

The two are scheduled to join the security guards in arresting drug dealers at 11 p. m. tonight, so they need to arrive two hours early.

The drive from Shanhai University to the Shanhai City Public Security Headquarters takes about an hour.

Leaving at 7:30 is just right.

On the bus.

Shen Qinghan was a little nervous and held Lin Zichen's hand tightly.

This was the first time in her life she had faced ruthless criminals, especially armed drug dealers; it was hard not to feel nervous.

Lin Zichen knew she was nervous, but he didn't comfort her as usual.

I thought I'd let her overcome it and change gradually on her own.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated.

Lin Zichen took out his phone and saw that it was a donation notification from the author's assistant who uploaded the novel.

[You have received 10 million Qidian Coin as a reward from "Second Young Master Li"] x10

No way? He really tipped me 1 million?

Lin Zichen was completely stunned when he saw the 10 donation notifications on the author assistant's backend.

Shen Qinghan leaned on his shoulder and saw the donation information on her phone screen. She was so shocked that she opened her mouth wide.

My tension vanished instantly, replaced by shock.

After a moment of shock, she exclaimed in disbelief, "Xiao Chen, this reader is so rich! They actually tipped you a million!"
