Sanctification of the Flesh

On the rooftop of the building.

There are four people.

They are Lin Zichen, Shen Qinghan, Yuan Dongzhi, and Female Officer.

Among them, Yuan Dongzhi looked at Lin Zichen and asked with great curiosity, "Zichen, what have your living habits been like since you were a child?"

She wanted to fully understand Lin Zichen's lifestyle in order to analyze the reason for his extremely high mental strength.

Solving math problems that require mental effort can certainly improve mental strength.

However, raising it to the level of Ordinary Rank 8 is too exaggerated and seems unrealistic.

To possess a mental strength equivalent to the average Ordinary Rank 8 before the age of 20, there must be other factors at play.

Lin Zichen answered honestly, "I've loved reading since I was little. Before I even started school, I was already reading for an average of 10 hours a day."

"Aside from reading, I spend the rest of my time either exercising, watching the news, or searching for various learning videos online."

"It's fair to say that learning has been a constant throughout my life."

There's no exaggeration in this statement; that's how he learned it from a young age.

Starting to read books in infancy has made him invincible among his peers today.

Of course, the support of the Biological Attribute of "Use-Disuse Evolution" and "Heavenly Human Wisdom Root" is indispensable.

"Really? You're that studious?"

The Female Officer looked puzzled, thinking Lin Zichen was exaggerating.

He hasn't even started school yet, and he's already averaging 10 hours of reading a day? Is that even human?

You know, it's in a child's nature to love to play.

It's simply unbelievable to expect a child who hasn't even started school to read for 10 hours a day.

Most importantly, how many words can a child who has never been to school recognize?

Are you suggesting we only look at picture books?

The Female Officer was filled with doubt.

Meanwhile, Yuan Dongzhi, who was standing next to her, was lost in thought.

After a moment, Yuan Dongzhi finally spoke up, "If what you're saying is true, then your current strength must be the result of a combination of talent and hard work."

"Especially considering they're not even old enough to start school, the sheer volume of learning they have is extraordinary."

"Being extraordinary is a common trait among top geniuses."

"..."

The group chatted briefly on the rooftop.

Soon, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan went downstairs back to the Special Training Room to continue training their qi and spirit.

As soon as the two left, the Female Officer looked at Yuan Dongzhi and said, "You, a student from Mountain University, seem to have been hiding your true abilities all along."

Yuan Dongzhi said calmly, "That's good. Hiding one's talents is a good habit."

Second floor.

Special Training Room.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan had only been downstairs for a short while when it was time to call it a day for dinner.

Lu Tianrong said to everyone, "Meet at 2 PM on the third floor of this building. The third floor is where the weapons are stored. Everyone can choose a weapon that suits them."

After saying that, he turned and left the Special Training Room without saying another word to the others.

The trainees started discussing it, very curious about what kind of weapons they had.

Shen Qinghan was also very curious about this and kept talking to Lin Zichen about it.

Lin Zichen chatted with her as he walked downstairs to the cafeteria for lunch.

Arrived at the canteen.

I got my food.

The two found an empty seat and sat down to eat.

Not long after they started eating, Li Moyu and Luo Yongjian came over with their food trays and sat down to eat with them.

"You wouldn't mind sitting down to eat together, would you?"

Li Moyu asked with a smile.

"You're already sitting down, what's the point of asking this question..." Lin Zichen thought to himself, but calmly replied, "Of course I don't mind."

Just then, Luo Yongjian saw Ma Xiwei, who had just finished getting her food, stood up, waved to her, and called out, "Sister Wei, come sit with me!"

Hearing his call, Ma Xiwei walked over and sat down next to Shen Qinghan.

"Lin Zichen, when we were in the Special Training Room before, you said that your high mental strength was related to doing math problems all the time. Is that true?"

Li Moyu asked while chewing her food.

The reason he came to sit with Lin Zichen was that he wanted to know the answer to this question.

"Yes, really."

After finishing his sentence, Lin Zichen added, "Besides doing math problems frequently, I also really enjoy reading, which helps improve my Mental Power."

Upon hearing this, Li Moyu shook her head. "If you have to do math problems and read books, it's better not to improve your Mental Power. It would be more cost-effective to directly fuse with the genes of Exotic Beast related to Mental Power."

Luo Yongjian agreed, "Indeed, doing math problems and reading books is a waste of time."

"Moreover, the fact that Brother Chen can develop such a high level of mental strength through doing math problems and reading books must be inseparable from his talent."

"People like us, whose Mental Power talent isn't outstanding, simply can't replicate it."

Both Li Moyu and Luo Yongjian were well aware that Lin Zichen's method of enhancing Mental Power was not suitable for them.

Ma Xiwei looked at Shen Qinghan and asked, "Qinghan, what about you? Your Mental Power is also very high. Do you also like doing math problems and reading like Lin Zichen?"

Shen Qinghan smiled and said, "I wouldn't say I like it, but I've been doing things with Xiao Chen since I was little. Whatever he does, I do too."

Ma Xiwei, then fell into deep thought without saying anything more.

2 PM.

Upstairs from the Special Training Room is the Weapon Room.

Lu Tianrong said to everyone, "The weapons here are all made of B-Grade Alloy. Their offensive properties are such that they can cut through iron like mud, and their defensive properties can stop bullets."

"Feel free to look around and try things on. Just choose one that suits you and don't choose based on its appearance."

"Ten days later, I will take you outside for combat training, where you will form teams to hunt down Exotic Beast or Heretic Cult. Whatever weapons you choose today, that's what you'll bring into battle."

After Lu Tianrong finished speaking, he added, "Alright, everyone, stop standing around and go choose your weapons. Once you've chosen, we'll start practicing how to use them."

Upon hearing this, everyone began selecting weapons.

Lin Zichen glanced at the weapons around him and found that they were all melee weapons, such as knives, swords, spears, and Wolf-Tooth Mace.

He didn't really need these weapons, so he just glanced at them and didn't go up to choose any.

First, he doesn't like using weapons; he prefers to use his fists or kicks directly.

Secondly, the strength of the B-Grade Alloy is not even as high as the strength of his body Tertiary Body Tempering, so carrying it would only increase the burden on his body.

"Xiao Chen, what kind of weapon do you think would suit me?"

Shen Qinghan tried several methods but couldn't decide, so she had to seek Lin Zichen's advice.

Lin Zichen said gently, "If you don't have a particular preference for weapon type, then try to choose a weapon with a large attack range."

Shen Qinghan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll see if there are any weapons with a wide attack range."

After saying that, she started spinning around again, following Lin Zichen's instructions to choose a weapon with a large attack range.

After going around more than half the circle.

Ultimately, she chose a 2-meter-long spear.

This is one of the weapons with the largest attack range that she could find in the Weapon Room.

Including the wingspan, the attack range is about 2.5 meters.

Like the spear, there are weapons with a wide attack range, such as Guan Yu's broadsword.

But Guan Yu's broadsword was too heavy, and she didn't feel comfortable holding it.

Most importantly, she prefers stabbing to slashing.

At the same time.

Everyone else had also chosen their weapons.

Li Moyu liked strength, so she chose a spiked Wolf-Tooth Mace.

Ma Xiwei preferred agility and chose a pair of light, double swords.

Luo Yongjian didn't choose it; he already had his own sword, which was also made of B-Grade Alloy, so there was no need for him to choose the weapon here.

"Instructor, don't you have any firearms?" Zhang Kai asked Lu Tianrong.

As Mechanical Cyborg, he looked down on the cold weapons here, finding them too primitive.

Lu Tianrong said, "There are only cold weapons."

After saying that, he added, "This special training is to improve your combat effectiveness in the Origin Land. Because of various restrictions, it is impossible to use firearms in the Origin Land; only melee weapons can be used. That's why we are specifically training you to use melee weapons."

Zhang Kai: "But I'm Mechanical Cyborg, I don't have the chance to go down to the Origin Land, so I can't use cold weapons."

Lu Tianrong disagreed. "Cold weapons are also very necessary on Earth. When you run out of ammunition and the enemy is still alive, cold weapons are the only weapons you can choose."

After hearing this, Zhang Kai remained silent and obediently went to select weapons.

He finally understood: the Machine God Group was just there to accompany the prince in his studies, to be the sparring partners for the Gene Fusionist.

This so-called special training program for Military District is specifically designed for Gene Fusionist.

As for Lin Zichen, this genius who followed the Pure-Blood Human Path, he was an exception.

Judging from previous years, the freshmen who chose the Pure-Blood Human Path were generally weak and not qualified to participate in the Military District's special training.

Lin Zichen, however, is stronger than other Gene Fusionist of the same age, which is why he is qualified to represent Mountain University in this competition.

If Lin Zichen can truly break through the shackles of ordinary creatures with his Pure-Blood Human body, he will also join a group of Gene Fusionist geniuses to Shine and Contribute in the Origin Land.

"Has everyone chosen their weapons?"

Lu Tianrong played on his phone for a while, then, seeing that it was almost time, looked up at everyone and asked.

The people responded sporadically, all saying they had made their choices.

Seeing this, Lu Tianrong told everyone to gather Martial Platform.

In the center of the Weapon Room, there is a standard large Martial Platform where people who have chosen their weapons can go up and test them to see if they are suitable for them.

Soon, everyone had gathered Martial Platform.

Seeing that Lin Zichen's hands were empty, Lu Tianrong couldn't help but ask, "Lin Zichen, where's your weapon?"

Lin Zichen: "Reporting, Instructor, I am used to fighting unarmed and do not need weapons."

Lu Tianrong: "Weapons can greatly enhance your combat power, so please choose one."

Lin Zichen: "No need, Instructor."

Lu Tianrong frowned slightly, feeling that this Mountain University genius was a bit too arrogant.

Most of them passed the Camp Entrance Assessment and are now very arrogant.

I've seen arrogant geniuses like this before; they can be easily dealt with...

Thinking it over, Lu Tianrong said to everyone, "Now that everyone has chosen their weapons, let's start familiarizing ourselves with them."

"The best way to get familiar with someone is to spar with them on the Martial Platform."

At this point, Lu Tianrong looked at Lin Zichen with a half-smile and said, "Lin Zichen, you said you're used to fighting with your bare hands, I'm quite curious. How about this, you go up on stage first and let everyone see your strength."

"Good."

Lin Zichen is extremely concise with words.

After saying that, he leaped onto the Martial Platform, waiting for others to come up and challenge him.

Lu Tianrong looked at the others and said, "Anyone who wants to go on stage and challenge Lin Zichen, just go up there."

"I'll do it!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a dark-skinned figure leaped onto the Martial Platform.

He is a genius in the Military District — Zhao Yuanzhong.

Holding a machete, Zhao Yuanzhong's eyes were filled with fighting spirit as he said, "Lin Zichen, are you ready?"

Lin Zichen: "Come on."

The moment his voice fell, Zhao Yuanzhong suddenly exerted force with his calves, his figure flashed, and he instantly rushed in front of him, slashing his knife towards his chest.

This strike was incredibly powerful.

The sharp blade made a whistling sound as it scraped through the air.

If you get hit by the blade, you'll either die or be seriously injured.

Faced with such a terrifying strike, Lin Zichen showed no intention of dodging.

Just as the blade was about to fall, he calmly raised his hand and grabbed it!

Catching a blade bare-handed!

Using flesh and blood to withstand a blade that can cut through iron like mud!

Then, with a sudden burst of force!

"Snap!"

A cracking sound rang out.

The large machete, made of B-Grade Alloy, was instantly covered with shocking cracks on its blade.

Then, to the disbelief of the audience, it instantly shattered into pieces and scattered all over the ground.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

"He crushed a machete made of B-Grade Alloy with his bare hands? Is this even human?"

"This power is too formidable!"

"This is really outrageous! Is this the legendary Sanctification of the Flesh?"

Everyone in the audience was stunned and gasped in surprise one after another.

Zhao Yuanzhong, as his opponent, was so shocked that he was completely numb.

There is mental numbness, and there is physical numbness.

How can he be so strong?!

On the other side.

Lu Taiyuan glanced at Lin Zichen, who was unharmed on the stage, and then at the pile of shattered blades at Lin Zichen's feet. He was utterly shocked.

At this moment, he finally realized that it wasn't Lin Zichen who was arrogant, but rather that he had underestimated Lin Zichen and the Pure-Blood Human Path enhance their physical bodies.

"A-Zhong, you get down here, let me go up and teach him a lesson!"

Liu Ruihe, also a genius in the Military District, looked at Zhao Yuanzhong on the stage and shouted.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanzhong swept away the shards of the blade in front of him with one foot, then jumped off the Martial Platform and replaced Liu Ruihe.

Liu Ruihe leaped up from the crowd and landed heavily on the Martial Platform with a thud.

Holding a heavy Wolf-Tooth Mace, he looked at Lin Zichen and asked, "Ready?"

Lin Zichen: "Come on."

Without wasting words, Liu Ruihe took a step forward and rushed in front of Lin Zichen in the blink of an eye, swinging the Wolf-Tooth Mace in his hand and smashing it down on him.

"When!"

A clear, crisp sound rang out.

Lin Zichen threw a punch, which collided heavily with the incoming Wolf-Tooth Mace.

Despite the impact of the Wolf-Tooth Mace, Lin Zichen's fist remained undamaged.

On the contrary, Liu Ruihe, who was wielding Wolf-Tooth Mace, was so shaken that his hand split open and bled.

At the same time, several more "click" sounds rang out.

The Wolf-Tooth Mace, several times harder than a broadsword, also developed countless cracks and instantly shattered into pieces, crashing onto the Martial Platform.

Such a powerful physique... Liu Ruihe stared at the fragments of the Wolf-Tooth Mace at his feet, his face filled with shock.

"Brother Hezi, it's my turn to go down!"

Another Military District genius in the audience wanted to go up and challenge Lin Zichen.

Liu Ruihe didn't say anything, and left the stage with pieces of the Wolf-Tooth Mace scattered all over the ground.

Just as that Military District's genius was about to take the stage.

Lu Tianrong, the instructor, couldn't take it anymore and quickly spoke up to stop him:

"Alright, stop challenging him. The weapons here can't even scratch Lin Zichen. If you break a few more weapons, my job as an instructor is over."

Looking at the fragments of machetes and Wolf-Tooth Mace on the ground, Lu Tianrong felt completely numb.

Weapons made of B-Grade Alloy are worth over a million each.

In the blink of an eye, two items were damaged.

If this kind of damage continues, I'll definitely be held accountable by my superiors.
