Ning Que was physically weak and unable to activate the Gene Fighting Technique.

But Ning Que can unleash the 'Nine Swords of Dugu'.

As long as Law Power is not lacking, this is another power system within the body, and it will not be limited by physical power.

"This is a divine strike!"

Zhou Yueyan conducted the test.

Ning Que stopped the wound he had intentionally created on his fingers.

Looking at the almost healed wound, she spat out a technique that had been passed down from ancient times in the Scarlet Alliance State.

Zhou Yueyan could even find this technique, which consisted entirely of scribbled symbols, in the Zhou Household's collection of books.

This was something Zhou Xin hadn't even grasped, while Ning Que had already mastered it.

The source of this learning was Zhang Weimeng's novels.

"Someone in the Zhang Household definitely knows this kind of divine fighting technique," Zhou Yueyan said. "Their level of divine fighting technique is not just above Ning Que's second level."

"What are you trying to say, sis? What does it matter to us whether Zhang Xuezhou and his friends can use supernatural powers? So what if they can!"

Zhou Rihui muttered something to himself on Sunday.

As Zhou Yueyan's test subject, he was responsible for things like pricking his fingers with a knife.

This experiment made Zhou Rihui a little unhappy, after all, his mood hadn't been good lately because of Zhou Xin's matter.

If Zhou Yueyan hadn't dragged him out, Zhou Rihui felt he would still be on the training field enduring heavy physical training and constantly venting the pressure he was under.

He urged Zhou Yueyan a few times, and then was met with a look from Zhou Yueyan as if she were mentally challenged.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that? Do I need to recharge my IQ again?" Zhou Rihui complained.

"Don't you want to know how many levels Zhang Xuezhou and the others have mastered this divine fighting technique?" Zhou Yueyan asked.

"I don't want to know," Zhou Rihui said sincerely. "I never pry into other people's private affairs!"

"Recharge my personal account with 20 million, and I'll tell you about the possibility of promoting the healing of your internal wounds," Zhou Yueyan said.

"Do you really want to top up?"

Zhou Rihui was taken aback, then looked at Ning Que, who was obediently cooperating with the test, and then at Zhou Yueyan.

"Are you saying that Zhang Xuezhou has the ability to heal my internal injuries? But Dad said that only the Qin Meng Secret Stone can fully restore me," Zhou Rihui asked doubtfully after realizing what was happening.

Just tell me if you're willing to try!

Zhou Yueyan belatedly recalled that she seemed to have seen a sign for "Tursin XX Treatment" outside the B13 Research Institute in North Rehe.

Having spent so many times going in and out of the rudimentary B13 laboratory in search of emetics, Zhou Yueyan hadn't really paid much attention to those random things. Only now, as her memories faded, did she belatedly realize the problem.

Zhang Xuezhou was preparing medicine to save himself, and he may also have found a way to treat others.

Zhou Yueyan had doubts about whether Zhang Xuezhou could cure Zhou Rihui, but she figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

It's good if it can be cured; there's no loss if it can't be cured.

Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou not only possesses the ability to fight with divine power, but his opponent's ability to tame strange beasts is also likely related to ancient Technique Method.

This also indirectly proves that Zhang Xuezhou possesses abilities that differ from the current mainstream of society.

After assessing the situation, Zhou Yueyan became more certain of her guess and decisively persuaded Zhou Rihui.

"Holy crap!"

Whether it's modern medicine or mystical martial arts, Zhou Rihui will try anything as long as there's a glimmer of hope.

There's no loss if you try and fail, but if you succeed, it will undoubtedly bring enormous benefits to your body.

While accumulated illnesses and injuries in a healthy person may not be fatal, their onset in old age can cause immense suffering for many.

The accumulated illnesses and injuries of those in Sequence Holder not only affect their individual performance but also hinder their advancement in the ranks. However, those in Sequence Holder cannot rely on regular training to continuously move forward; they need to fight to strengthen their individual abilities and to constantly drive leaps in power.

In such a process, not only physical injuries are possible, but death is also quite normal.

But the sheer power of it will attract countless people to pursue it.

No one doesn't yearn to be stronger, and no one doesn't crave everything that comes with strength. This is the nature of living beings and an inevitable pursuit for humankind.

The added influence of his Lineage forced Zhou Rihui to move forward.

He quickly nodded in agreement, which made Zhou Yueyan hesitate a bit.

She's smart enough to have lost 20 million to Zhang Xuezhou; a brute like Zhou Rihui might even sell off his entire fortune.

"Their lab has blood sample preparation capabilities and has ordered raw materials from us several times. Take four hundred blood sample culture media to them for treatment," Zhou Yueyan said after thinking for a moment. "Zhang Xuezhou said he'll be going to Qinmeng next week, so you should go now before he runs away again!"

"Four hundred culture media cost twenty million? Is a single doctor's visit there really that expensive?" Zhou Rihui clicked his tongue in amazement. "That's equivalent to the cost of two high-end medical treatments."

"We charge 20 million for these culture media, but aside from the equipment and labor, our actual raw material costs are only a few hundred thousand. You're not even willing to pay that much?" Zhou Yueyan said with exasperation, "This is much better than him asking for it himself."

"Does he charge a high price?"

"Don't ask. Asking too much will annoy me, and besides, I have to play along!"

Zhou Yueyan grabbed her long, straight black hair, making a mess of it. She felt that this kind of life would last a long time, and she might even have to ask Zhang Xuezhou for money.

Zhang Xuezhou can afford to stall for time, but the Zhou Household certainly cannot.

Over the past decade, as long as the conditions for targeting the ferocious beast could be met, Zhou Yueyan felt she would support it no matter the cost, even if Zhang Xuezhou had ulterior motives.

Zhou Yueyan fears that the money will be spent but the goal will not be achieved, ultimately leading to a lose-lose situation.

However, Zhou Yueyan's current investment direction is almost singular. At least during the years when Zhou Xin is healthy, the best way for her to cooperate is to promote drugs that are effective against ferocious beasts without side effects, and the only option is to invest in Zhang Xuezhou.

"Sister Zhou, Brother Zhang said on the phone that he can continue to support me, but he can't return to Western Capital City for a while. Can I go to the research institute there with Brother Zhou?" Ning Que interjected softly.

"Have your brother Zhou get you a certificate so you can work at the research institute later!"

Zhou Yueyan waved her hand to indicate that things were easy to handle, and urged Zhou Rihui to go see a doctor as soon as possible.

"If this ancient technique is truly effective for Rihui, then our Zhou Household will have to forge a long-term alliance with the Zhang Household to avoid future troubles for Rihui and me when we need medical treatment. I wonder if it can cure the old injuries I sustained from overtraining in my youth..."

Seeing Zhou Rihui leave in a hurry, Zhou Yueyan couldn't help but ponder.

"Speaking of which, the Ren Household and the Zhang Household are practically in cahoots. If the Zhang Household possesses miraculous healing techniques, why couldn't they cure Ren Yisheng?"

"Wang Haoran been acting very strangely lately, not only fleeing Qin Meng but also the Thousand Islands Alliance. His tendons in his hands and feet were severed; could it be that the Zhang Household healed him?"

What exactly is Zhang Xuezhou's illness?

"Sinkhole No. 2?"

"Did he, like Naggs, experience the effects of the sinkhole, thus gaining the potential to break through to higher sequences?"

"But he has weak genes; he's even stopped asking me for the Crane Blood Essence. He must have hit a genetic bottleneck!"

As Aristocratic Clan, the Zhou Household's upbringing was unlikely to involve much wisdom or scheming.

Zhou Yueyan thought for a long time, only to find that her mind was in complete turmoil.

She was already an exceptionally outstanding descendant of the Zhou Household, but Zhou Yueyan found it difficult to sort everything out.

Zhang Xuezhou may seem weak, but he also seems irreplaceable.

At least for the Zhou Household, this is indeed the case.
