Hidden Secrets

Gene Fighting Technique need further development and improvement.

For Zhang Xuezhou, his ability in realm techniques was constantly being improved before he developed his own unique combat system.

Whether he runs, escapes, launches sneak attacks, or confronts his opponent head-on, Zhang Xuezhou's style is gradually taking shape.

Zhang Manqian is still quite far from his level.

Zhang Manqian is still in the process of pursuing power, thinking about obtaining the strongest sequence fighting techniques, rather than developing in a coordinated manner.

This is not to say that Zhang Manqian's thinking is lacking, but rather that Zhang Manqian possesses too little knowledge. She repeatedly uses only three Gene Fighting Technique, making it impossible for her to build a systematic approach.

For this style to take shape, Zhang Manqian needs to enter the Fourth Sequence at least, so that she can fill in the gaps according to her own genetic type.

Even with the Zhou Household's help, Zhang Xuezhou felt that it would be extremely difficult to create a cohesive whole by simply copying others' ideas.

The requirements for fusing various fighting techniques into one are extremely high, and only someone like Zhang Manqian could possibly master them all.

Zhang Xuezhou made comparisons, including with Wang Haoran, Ren Yisheng, Zhou Rihui, Wang Jiangtao, and Zuo Lianguang, and he felt that this stage was likely to be in the Sixth Sequence.

This basically corresponds to the many needs of the Realm Technique in the Body Transformation Realm.

Following normal development, aside from a handful of Gene Fighting Technique that pursue the ultimate, it's difficult to say that anyone can gain an advantage in high-sequence development.

"In other words, it's difficult for my sister to gain an advantage in the fourth and Fifth Sequence by relying on Gene Fighting Technique," Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"No one can always take the lead and gain the upper hand. Don't look at me; I was beaten to a pulp before. I only managed to become the top of the Fifth Sequence by fighting relentlessly and ruthlessly, making others afraid of being injured," Zhou Rihui said. "If it involves a life-or-death battle among Fifth Sequence individuals, I might not be the one to survive!"

"Your margin for error is higher than others; few will be willing to trade blows with you. Only in life-or-death battles will people fight without regard for the consequences!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

Zhou Rihui, who holds the top spot in the Fifth Sequence, is not invincible in the Fifth Sequence.

Zhang Xuezhou's friend in the Aomeijia Alliance, Batia, is the chief of the Fourth Sequence in the Montes Lineage. This is not because Batia is so powerful that the Fourth Sequence is unstoppable, but more likely because Batia excels in defense and has a higher margin for error than others, just like Zhou Rihui, which allows him to rise step by step.

Having received Zhou Rihui's personal confirmation and hearing about Gene Fighting Technique, Zhang Manqian breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Zhou Rihui and the others were not as unapproachable as she had imagined.

This is quite different from Ren Anran.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't do anything to Ren Anran, but Ren Anran felt at ease, and her thoughts even jumped to the topic of getting their marriage certificate.

Of all the symptoms, mental illness is the most difficult to cure, and only proper guidance can help people avoid psychological traps, thereby achieving inner strength and ultimately leading to outer strength.

"Speaking of An Ran mentioned that Leiata City is covered in poisonous powder, which has turned it into a suitable 'place' for cultivating the Poison Repelling Technique," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Filling in any gap is still filling in the gap. When you are improving your sequence abilities, you can try combining realm techniques with combat techniques. As long as your Poison Repelling Technique ability improves, cultivating realm techniques will be much easier!"

When Zhou Hui happily went to find Zhou Yueyan on Sunday, Zhang Xuezhou also discussed suggestions with Zhang Manqian.

"It's difficult. I haven't been able to figure out an effective way to combine fighting techniques with realm techniques," Zhang Manqian said. "During the sequencing phase, I could still use Supreme Purity True Technique by running and dodging, but nowadays, fighting makes it hard for me to have time to use them. When I sparred with Zuo Teng, Luo Gaogao, and others, I had absolutely no time to process the moves, and my Supreme Purity True Technique level is gradually falling behind my physical abilities."

"That's just because you haven't been exposed to enough fighting techniques and Technique Method," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I have a physical technique with 108,000 acupoints. If you cultivate it to its full potential, it will be stronger than Zhou Rihui's Black Armor Combat Technique, and may even surpass the abilities of Committee Member Zhou Xin!"

"The art of the physical body with 108,000 acupoints?"

Zhang Xuezhou's skills are indeed excellent, but everything is more like a castle in the air, visible but untouchable.

The Poison Repelling Technique already gave Zhang Manqian a huge headache; adding another technique with 108,000 acupoints would undoubtedly cause her memory to collapse.

Leaving aside spiritual practice, even memorizing this content means that only a very small number of people can do it.

"You can also spend more time with Ning Que. He's very skilled in this area and even created his own Ning-style Sanda (Chinese kickboxing). It might be helpful to you!"

"He said he was going back to his hometown to cultivate himself, I reckon we won't see him for at least six months."

Zhang Xuezhou also recommended Ning Que.

Ning Que may not yet meet Zhang Manqian's skill level, but Luo Zhong is very likely related to Ning Que. Perhaps a casual, heartfelt suggestion from Luo Zhong could benefit Zhang Manqian at any time. However, Ning Que's return to his hometown caught Luo Zhong somewhat off guard.

After some discussion, Zhang Manqian ultimately decided to follow Ren Anran to the Tuer District of the Thousand Islands Alliance to promote the Poison Repelling Technique and seek a higher level of artistic skill to improve her Supreme Purity True Technique casting ability.

For Zhang Manqian, who has entered the Third Sequence, if she falls into a tier adjustment period, she will indeed need to make up for her shortcomings in other areas.

Zhang Xuezhou readily agreed to the plan.

The Tuer District is not only suitable for cultivating the Poison Repelling Technique in Leiata City, but also for the giant moths, which are the size of eagles, providing Zhang Manqian with very practical practice opportunities. With Ren Anran accompanying her, the chances of the two encountering an accident are also relatively low.

This time, it wasn't the unpredictable Zhang Household Zhang Xuezhou who chose to go out, nor was it Song Fengying was running around doing live streams; it was Zhang Manqian who was preparing for a long journey.

Zhang Xuezhou and Zhang Manqian discussed their plans to fill each other's vacancies.

In the twilight years at the mansion, Chang Kongluo is also seeking to fill the void.

Besides longevity drugs, he also needs mental stability and to avoid confusion.

This involves Chang Kongluo's pursuit of the Mental Strengthening Chapter.

After some discussion, Chang Kongluo heard Luo Tianming's slightly surprised voice for the first time in the Twilight Mansion.

"Can it really extend lifespan?" Luo Tianming asked in a hoarse voice.

"I have no reason to lie to you," Chang Kong said calmly into the communicator, shaking his head. "The research papers and the finished drug are already out, and Qimeng Haig even came all the way to Western Capital City to ask for the medicine. If you just asked around, you'd know that the old man risked entering our Alliance States. You can think I lied to achieve my goal, but Qimeng Haig wouldn't come all this way to lie to you!"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

Luo Tianming was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

Little did he know that the good-for-nothing he had given up on back then would make a comeback and even develop the life-extending drug he had always dreamed of.

Although the efficacy of the life-extending drug is unknown, the fact that Qimeng Haig came to him seeking it suggests that it must have some effect.

For these people who live on a tightrope every day, a single medication means a period of peace, and they don't need to worry about suddenly losing their minds at some point.

Even if it's three months, two months, one month, or even half a month, it will make a difference for them.

For them, as long as they can obtain the relevant manufacturing process, the drugs can be supplied continuously, which is not a problem for them, the upper class.

"Luo Burang has already been exchanged. Who produced the drugs?" Luo Tianming asked.

"You think I'd say that?" Chang Kongluo chuckled.

"Then I'll go ask around. I don't believe I won't be able to find the relevant people after the paper is published," Luo Tianming scoffed.

"It's a bit of a pity that Chang Kongyinghao is in charge of the paper," Chang Kongluo shrugged. "That rebellious son isn't very capable, but he's reliable enough. He'll probably classify the paper as top secret and then try to advance the researcher's professional title through other means."

"You old coward, always scheming against people! You should have been slapped to death by Luo Chong back then!" Luo Tianming cursed.

"I just don't want to be a guinea pig, and I also want to seek common development," Chang Kongluo shook his head and said, "What exactly is hidden in the Mental Strengthening Chapter that makes you want to use so many of us as cultivation experiments?"

"Mental Strengthening... Aren't you going to ask Ren Yisheng about it?" Luo Tianming sneered.

"Perhaps he's completely unaware of it!"

The sound of rain falling from the sky made Luo Tianming frown slightly.

"I need to share your life-extending medicine!"

No elderly person can resist the temptation of longevity, and Luo Tianming was no exception.

Even without knowing the specific life-extending effects, Luo Tianming felt that he needed to have what Chang Kongluo possessed.

Luo Tianming wasn't unable to find out who made the drug, but it would take him time and opportunities to leave the Old Age Mansion. All these factors made him feel that the gains were not worth the losses.

He quickly stated his request, which prompted Chang Kongluo to nod slightly in agreement.

"Tell me about Mental Strengthening!" Chang Kongluo asked.

"The Mental Strengthening Chapter was likely Luo Chong's reliance on his invincible dominance back then, and also the source of his confidence in his attempt to achieve immortality," Luo Tianming said in a low voice.

"What?"

"I feel that the Mental Strengthening Chapter that Ren Yisheng possessed seems to belong to Luo Zhong, but it's somewhat similar yet not quite the same," Luo Tianming said. "I suspect it might have been obtained by Ren Aiguo from Luo Zhong, but Ren Aiguo only learned a small part of it, and when he passed it on to Ren Yisheng, it was all fragmented and incomplete!"

"Based solely on intuition?"

Chang Kongluo's doubts corresponded to Luo Tianming's affirmation.

Luo Tianming had interrogated Luo Zhong for decades, and what he had learned was not just a feeling, but a fact he had determined from numerous fragments of conversation.

This Mental Strengthening Chapter reveals the secret to Luo Chong's survival despite having only a head.

However, what Ren Yisheng and others obtained was too little; this Mental Strengthening Chapter was far from the level that Luo Zhong had cultivated.

If Luo Tianming wants to follow in Luo Zhong's footsteps, he must gather the many master-level figures of the Twilight Mansion to explore together and uncover the true essence of this Mental Strengthening Chapter.

That was the immortality he had dreamed of all his life.

But before he obtained this information, Luo Tianming's true desire was to survive.

Two years, one year, half a year, one month—no matter how long or short the time, every extra day he lives brings him more hope.
