Connecting

The Mental Strengthening Chapter boasts advanced development, which has allowed Ren Yisheng and his team to maintain a significant lead.

Zhang Xuezhou had never felt anything about his previous defeats, since most of his opponents were stronger than him, and he took his losses in stride.

Ren Yisheng still retained some of his own pride, until Zhang Qiaoen trampled it to pieces.

The high-level Mental Strengthening Chapter combined with the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique is very powerful, but it is not at the level of being invincible to other techniques of the same series.

If Zhang Qiaoen can do it, others might be able to do it too.

All Ren Yisheng can do is try his best to uncover shortcomings and explore new possibilities.

For Ren Yisheng, this was a rare and devastating experience, and it also made him need to organize what he had learned.

"Besides Huang, you can also talk to Luo Tianming or Committee Member Chang Kong and discuss it together," Zhang Xuezhou suggested.

"That makes sense!"

Ren Yisheng nodded, indicating that he would not work in isolation and study in isolation, but would communicate with others.

Some initial investments are unavoidable, but as long as they bring returns, Ren Yisheng believes that investing is a very necessary thing.

He touched it for a while, then, looking pale, joined Luo Tianming's private live stream.

"Old Luo!"

The way Ren Yisheng addressed him was quite polite, but Luo Tianming, who was studying the antidote and seeking spiritual longevity, did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

With his former strength and Lineage backing destroyed, Luo Tianming reverted to being the shrewd and smiling eunuch he once was, completely losing his former aloof and domineering demeanor.

His body was still immobile, completely submerged in a heavily funded X446 solution tank, with only a small area around his head that he could control.

He responded to Ren Yisheng with a smile, addressing Ren Yisheng as 'Professor Ren,' and his words were equally polite.

"That's more like a proper exchange!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded repeatedly as he looked at Luo Tianming.

He had some questions for Luo Tianming, such as whether Luo Tianming was involved in controlling the die-hard elements who were trying to restore the Luofu Dynasty, and whether Luo Tianming knew any details about the relationship between Luo Zhong and Huang Daoxian.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou is currently certain that Zhang Qiaoen's inside man in Western Capital City is most likely unrelated to Luo Tianming, since Luo Tianming is unlikely to gain any benefit from such an event, nor can he get involved in the recent riots.

These questions can be asked to Luo Tianming separately later. After all, Luo Tianming's live broadcast room is like a robot, always open every day and every hour. He doesn't want to disturb Ren Yisheng's academic discussion at this time.

"It's rare for you to gather everyone together to discuss this. As long as you give the shout, I guarantee that Lao Luo and the others will flood into the live broadcast room like a flood," Luo Tianming said ingratiatingly.

"Let's brainstorm together," Ren Yisheng said. "Xuezhou has been recommending you, saying you have exceptional analytical and deductive abilities in the area of Mental Strengthening Chapter."

"I still have a long way to go," Luo Tianming said modestly. "My current level is only barely at the fourth chapter level. Without proper guidance to move forward, I hope Professor Ren can provide more guidance on my path!"

"Sharp!"

Even Ren Yisheng couldn't help but admire Luo Tianming's talent in cultivation.

Luo Tianming simply said that it was barely at the level of the fourth chapter, which was the level that Ren Wuyang had practiced for more than ten years to achieve, and Ren Yisheng's situation back then was not much better.

This is related to Luo Tianming's many years of experience, the reasons for his dramatic rise and fall, and his current situation.

Of course, Luo Tianming's talent is one thing, but he is still inferior to Zhang Xuezhou.

If one acknowledges Zhang Xuezhou's learning abilities, Ren Yisheng feels that Zhang Xuezhou's progress is truly terrifying. Given the opportunity, Zhang Xuezhou learns as much as he is given, seemingly without any obstacles.

He had considered the comparison and praised Luo Tianming with a smile.

After Zhang Xuezhou made several adjustments, the live stream started attracting viewers.

Chang Kongluo and the others obviously wouldn't be glued to the Flying Entertainment Livestream app like Luo Tianming, but they could be notified via pop-up messages.

Zhang Xuezhou rattled off a few words, which served as a proper notification to everyone.

Soon after, people started joining the live stream.

"Humble little Zuo Jin the live stream!"

"Old Luo has entered the live stream!"

"I've somehow ended up in the live stream!"

"Born extraordinary, one should consider oneself extraordinary—this is what they've entered the live stream about!"

Nineteen former committee members were listed in a pop-up window, but thirteen of them ultimately entered the live stream.

Of course, the other six people were infected with the virus and will be unable to participate in this kind of live broadcast for the time being.

"Chatting?"

Through the screen, Ren Yisheng immediately realized that Chang Kongluo and the others were in the Sequence Conference Room.

The matters discussed in these meeting rooms are all confidential; let alone live streaming, even entry and exit are extremely restricted.

"How about you participate next time, and I'll have a chat with Elder Luo first?" Ren Yisheng asked.

"No," Chang Kongluo waved his hand and said, "There's nothing shady here. You're all qualified to participate in the sequence meeting, so there's no harm in listening!"

"It's fine to listen to what they say, let them say what they want, we'll say what we want, it's none of our business," Zhu Bufan said. "Never mind them, let's talk!"

"That's right, it's pointless to just talk back and forth. It's more practical to have a discussion," Li Qi agreed.

"Speaking of which, they're still discussing Xiao Ren's old age issues right now, and I think we should still offer our support," Zhong Rang said awkwardly. "It's just that we old fogies are being excluded; they even want to lock us up too!"

"If we could be sure of our remaining lifespan, we wouldn't be in such a passive position," Zuo Lianguang said unwillingly. "Even if we were imprisoned for a year before we died, I wouldn't have uttered a single complaint. Now we've been in there for several years, and all this trouble has happened. It's absolutely terrible!"

"I understand how you all feel. I am currently undergoing medical treatment, but if my condition stabilizes, I would be very willing to return to the Old Age Mansion," Ren Yisheng said with a slight smile.

Looking at the group of former committee members in front of him, Ren Yisheng felt that this riot had unleashed a host of big troubles.

Although what Zuo Lianguang and others said made a lot of sense, Ren Yisheng felt that only a minority of people in Western Capital City could survive nineteen consecutive twilight events, considering that these nineteen people represented nineteen twilight events.

In previous years, some people would rather hide in Qinmeng than stay in Western Capital City. It wasn't until their mansions were built in their later years that people like Li Yingbo stayed in Western Capital City for many years.

"No, Ren, we support you staying out there and making a difference, preferably leading the committee forward," Zuo Lianguang said.

"You've done us a huge favor this time. If you hadn't taken care of Zhang Qiaoen and her gang of lackeys, none of us would be alive today!"

Chang Kongluo nodded in agreement.

Chang Kongluo was inexplicably imprisoned after fighting with Ren Yisheng, and then imprisoned in the Old Age Mansion as a demonstration.

He was indeed somewhat annoyed with Ren Yisheng, feeling that the other party was a jinx sent from heaven.

But after being entangled in many matters and saved by Ren Yisheng, Chang Kongluo felt that things were even.

Without Ren Yisheng, Zhou Rihui and the others would have died, and those trapped in the twilight mansion would have been killed as well, and wouldn't have survived to this day.

Whether to support Ren Yisheng's entry into the Sequence Committee, and whether past mistakes could be corrected, Chang Kongluo and others obviously wouldn't cause trouble. Apart from envying Ren Yisheng for being able to leave the old mansion, they had no other opinions.

"I'm just a patient. While I wouldn't say I'm terminally ill, I'm certainly quite disabled and can't play any significant role!"

Ren Yisheng had wanted to join the Sequence Committee from an early age.

He had felt somewhat resentful even months ago.

Having witnessed the riots, Ren Yisheng felt that the prestige in front of the stage was not easy to maintain, especially since the risk of being targeted was too high for someone with such a major flaw as himself.

He wasn't a useless idiot Zuo Jin. Once he entered the Sequence Committee, he would inevitably be in a leading position and would definitely be treated as a special case.

Like Zhang Xuezhou, he is neither suitable nor possible to join the Sequence Committee at present, and it is even less suitable for him to be exposed.

For Ren Yisheng, he would delay as long as possible, until Ren Anran or Ren Wuyang were capable, or until he himself could truly secure his position on the Sequence Committee. Only then would he have real confidence.
