"Yes, you're right!"

"Yes, that's it!"

It was somewhat difficult for Zhang Weimeng and Song Fengying to reach Zhang Manqian, who was far away in the Thousand Islands Alliance, but contacting Zhang Xuezhou was not a problem.

Zhang Xuezhou was currently planning his journey back to Western Capital City, and pondering where he would have to spend the next twelve days if his journey was delayed.

To Zhang Xuezhou's relief, the Airbus was not delayed and took off on time.

Just before boarding the Airbus, Zhang Xuezhou also received news of the controversy between Zhang Weimeng and Song Fengying.

He was currently preparing a response to Changkong Luo and the others, since he was artificially preparing the medicine, not mass-producing pills, and couldn't supply so many people in large quantities.

When Zhang Weimeng and Song Fengying's communication messages came through, Zhang Xuezhou quickly responded.

"Son, you can't just brush things off in this kind of situation," Zhang Weimeng replied. "You agree with what your mother said, and you agree with what I said, but our theories on this matter are opposing. It's unreasonable for you to try to please both sides!"

"You're absolutely right," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I also think there's something wrong with the Gene Sequence, and there will be all sorts of obstacles to its development!"

"I knew it! This kind of Gene Sequence that turns people into monsters? In a novel, this would be Evil Dao, a demonic cult that everyone would condemn!" Zhang Weimeng said.

"But the Gene Sequence does indeed bring tremendous power," Zhang Xuezhou advised. "This is also the only large-scale individual power that our society currently possesses; in the event of a disaster, only these people can provide resistance!"

"How can it be the only one? Don't we still have your Purple Cloud Divine Skill?"

Zhang Weimeng mentioned the Cultivation Method he practiced.

This is a product of Zhang Xuezhou rebranding the "Yin Yang Great Compassion Nine Heavens Incantation," and it's also a cultivation path that many people find difficult to adapt to, causing them headaches in their practice.

Zhang Xuezhou believed that advancing Gene Sequence required finding one in a thousand suitable gene types, while choosing to cultivate Realm Technique required finding one in ten thousand, or even one in a hundred thousand.

Compared to the Realm Technique that require adaptation to different environments, the threshold for Gene Sequence is undoubtedly much lower.

Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou's Realm Technique has already pushed onto an unknown path, making it difficult to make any progress at present.

Zhang Weimeng's excitement stemmed from experiencing the profound mysteries of cultivation, but not yet reaching its limit.

"Wait, you mean after three years of seclusion, you can project your internal energy a hundred meters outwards, and almost touch something a hundred meters away?"

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but think about it for a while, and when he came back to his senses from Zhang Weimeng's rambling, Zhang Xuezhou realized that there was a big problem.

Song Fengying didn't take the Gene Sequence seriously, thinking that everyone was practicing it this way, so it was fine. The Flying Sheep Wall Running suited Song Fengying's profession, and this fitting promotion made Song Fengying's relatively simple Gene Sequence go smoothly.

Zhang Weimeng kept a low profile, and while he traveled around gathering inspiration for his writing, he preferred to stay at home. Zhang Xuezhou never imagined that staying at home would lead him to the True Spirit Realm.

Zhang Xuezhou is the most skilled in Realm Technique, followed by Ren Anran; the two of them belong to the first tier.

The second tier consists of Ren Yisheng, Zhang Manqian, Zhang Weimeng, who reside in the True Spirit Realm.

The third tier consists of individuals like Wang Haoran, Qin Wenhan, Song Bu'er, and Song Fengying, who are in the Body Control Realm.

The fourth tier consists of Ren Wuyang and Song Sijia, Blood Penetration Realm.

Zhang Xuezhou never imagined that Zhang Weimeng could quietly rise to the second tier, after all, his father didn't seem like a cultivation genius.

The theories described by Zhang Weimeng are simply the paths that Zhang Xuezhou had previously taken.

When he came to his senses, Zhang Xuezhou realized that his conclusion was based on practical experience, while Zhang Weimeng was based entirely on reasoning.

Combining his own novels with actual cultivation practices, Zhang Weimeng seems to have deduced some cultivation theories and even applied them to his own practice.

If it weren't for the fact that using the Spirit-Forging Pill required the accompanying Poison Avoidance Instruction Technique, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Zhang Weimeng hadn't reached the limit of his cultivation.

"This works?"

Zhang Xuezhou knew that Zhang Weimeng's novels created an extremely rich martial arts world, and some of the martial arts could even be explained in a self-consistent way. However, he always regarded the novels as fictional and never thought that Zhang Weimeng could deduce the Realm Technique and Gene Sequence from them, or even estimate the differences between the two after continuous development.

The key point is that Zhang Weimeng's deduction is correct.

This is somewhat similar to those old scholars in research institutes who deduce Gene Fighting Technique; they may not be able to master the techniques themselves, but that doesn't diminish their profound theoretical understanding of Gene Fighting Technique.

"Dad, since you're so interested in the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, I also have a Soaring Sky Manual here. When combined with the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, it can create a truly ultimate technique. Would you like to take a look?"

Zhang Xuezhou had a sudden thought: Zhang Weimeng could try the theoretical deduction.

"I also have a Lesser Formless Divine Skill. Once you master it, you will be able to ingest all the poisons in the world and be unafraid of any toxins. It will also allow you to continuously take elixirs for cultivation," Zhang Xuezhou said.

Are you trying to fool me?

Really?

"I feel like something's not real?"

"How can it not be real? Look at me... or rather, you take a gun and try your marksmanship. As long as you lock onto your opponent with your internal energy, you and the gun will become one, and you can hit the bullseye every time within the range of your internal energy!"

Zhang Weimeng thought Zhang Xuezhou had a bunch of math olympiad problems, but after Zhang Xuezhou organized these problems, he wrote "First Grade Elementary School Math Problems" on the cover.

The contrast is striking: Zhang Xuezhou's secret martial arts manual seems to be beyond the reach of ordinary people, yet it has been repackaged to make Zhang Weimeng feel that it's not so difficult.

Of course, it was quite a struggle for Zhang Weimeng to understand the information provided by Zhang Xuezhou.

But after a few days of being lost in the Unseen, his mind would often suddenly clear, and he would figure everything out.

Listening to Zhang Xuezhou's recommendation, Zhang Weimeng put down the communicator and looked at the toy air gun in his hand.

He held the air rifle in one hand and fired ten shots in quick succession, all of which hit the ten most difficult targets on the wall.

"Brother, you experts shouldn't come here and ruin our small businesses. It's not easy for us to make a living..."

The vendor, looking dejected, took his gift and came down, pleading with Zhang Weimeng to stop shooting, saying that if he did, he would go bankrupt.

Zhang Weimeng glanced at the vendor, then raised his hand to look at the air gun.

Without realizing it, he seemed to have acquired Zhang Xuezhou's ability to hit the target with every shot, just like he did in the Youth Challenge.

Zhang Xuezhou's repeated confirmations made Zhang Weimeng understand the origin of this skill.

His ability to extend his internal energy by a hundred meters was not a mental illusion, but a genuine skill he had developed.

Song Fengying's "Flying Sheep Wall Running is useless; once someone is locked onto by this kind of internal force, a single spear thrust is enough to hit them.

After considering all the options, Zhang Weimeng felt that practicing the divine skill given to him by Zhang Xuezhou was the only truly effective approach.

As for the Gene Sequence in Western Capital City, Zhang Weimeng felt that they were all Evil Dao and would lead to the wrong path in the future.
