Qing'an livestream
Zhang Xuezhou had little interest in forming cliques.
This viewpoint did not stem from his own personality, but rather from the rules of conduct he followed in the imperial court of Chang'an City.
He adhered to the life-saving rules of the imperial court in Chang'an City, and after returning to real society, he was unlikely to suffer from a split personality and would be keen on gathering gang power.
Zhang Xuezhou was extremely polite to everyone, maintaining a distance while preserving their friendships, unlike Ren Yisheng who formed a faction or clique.
He called out the names of many people in succession, without using any committee member titles or engaging in any formal greetings. This caused some people to look at him strangely, thinking that Zhang Xuezhou was either not used to his new role like Zhang Manqian, or that he had no intention of forming a group with the younger generation at all.
For some, if Zhang Xuezhou doesn't become the leader, then others have the potential to take the lead.
For some people, a group is not important if it lacks top-level experts of the same caliber.
For a moment, people exchanged glances, and some turned their attention to the screen of the display device.
"An Ran has gone to Qing'an Province!"
Is she participating in the Youth Challenge today?
"Right!"
Qing'an Province is an area controlled by Pei Jing, another powerful figure in the Scarlet Alliance State.
Pei Jing wasn't so powerful that no one could stop him; rather, he was far from the Emperor Gao, facing similar problems to Zhao Tianhua of Wanping.
People from the Northwest are tall and strong, while people from the Southeast tend to be lean and wiry.
After greeting everyone, Zhang Xuezhou went into the restaurant to eat while watching everything displayed on the monitor.
Ren Anran had not yet appeared at this time, Flying Entertainment Livestream's cameras focused more on the venue and the audience seats, allowing many viewers to understand the environment of the Youth Challenge and the relevant witnesses involved.
After watching for a while, Zhang Xuezhou asked Zhang Manqian about the relevant parts.
Zhang Manqian and Ren Anran returned to Western Capital City at the same time, but Ren Anran participated in the competition later and Zhang Manqian participated earlier, which led to completely different schedules for the two.
Zhang Manqian had already returned to the B13 Research Institute in North Rehe, while Ren Anran was still competing in Zhennan City, Qing'an Province.
"Well done! It seems the Poison Avoidance Instruction progressing smoothly!"
Before Ren Anran's competition even started, Zhang Xuezhou took the opportunity to look through past youth challenge records and found a video of Zhang Manqian winning the Guiluo Provincial Youth Challenge.
Barring exceptional circumstances, it would be difficult for participants like Zhang Xuezhou and others at the Sequencing Grand Gathering to obtain alternate committee member status.
Among their generation, only Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Manqian, and Zuo Teng were selected as alternate members. Even Zhou Tianhao was eliminated, targeted and knocked down from a distance. Luo Gaogao, Song Sijia, and others were all eliminated, and some of them didn't even make it into the Western Capital City contestants' circle.
To stand out among contestants from other provinces, one needs extremely comprehensive sequencing skills.
Zuo Teng launched a surprise attack and won the championship when many contestants were unprepared.
Zhang Xuezhou launched a suppressive firing attack, while Zhang Manqian attempted both close-range and long-range combat.
Zhang Manqian's long-range shooting is somewhat similar to Zhang Xuezhou's, which is obviously due to the ability to lock onto targets with her Law Power brought about by the True Spirit Realm. However, Zhang Manqian's locking distance is limited, maintaining around eighty meters. Once the opponent gets too close, Zhang Manqian has to resort to fist and foot techniques.
Zhang Xuezhou watched several intense fighting videos and accurately assessed Zhang Manqian's abilities.
If Zhang Xuezhou was still holding back, Zhang Manqian had to go all out to control the situation and defeat the Sequence Holder who were mostly around thirty-five years old.
"It would be better if the illusionary effect of that Spirit-Forging Pill was a little less severe. I often feel dizzy and lightheaded when I take that medicine, making it very difficult to improve my cultivation level," Zhang Manqian said.
"It's impossible to change it now, lest I create even more serious problems," Zhang Xuezhou said after considering the effects of his second-generation longevity drug. "Besides, I need to work on other drugs recently, and I need to use some of them!"
Zhang Xuezhou was equally troubled whenever he thought about the drugs that would promote the Longevity Formula. He was unsure whether he could match the drugs in the right way in reality, or whether he could stimulate his perception of how long his lifespan would be extended.
This relates to his connection with the Twilight Years Mansion and also involves exchanging R33 catalysts with Chimon Haig, which forces Zhang Xuezhou to put his mind to resolving it as quickly as possible.
"I have some other effective medicines. You should practice this Poison Avoidance Instruction more often," Zhang Xuezhou said while eating. "I'm assure you that everything is good; as long as your body can handle it, it will work well."
"The Poison Avoidance Instruction is far more difficult to master than Gene Fighting Technique!"
Zhang Manqian is also a top student; she became a top student through hard work and some talent, but Zhang Manqian still finds it difficult.
She believed that only a very few people with exceptionally special talents could successfully cultivate the Poison Avoidance Instruction.
With so many interconnected acupoints in the body, the probability of errors when activating the Poison Avoidance Instruction is extremely high. Developing an automatic, cyclical bodily instinct requires an extremely long period of training, far beyond what they can achieve in just six months.
Not to mention Zhang Manqian's headache, even Ren Anran was Poison Avoidance Instruction, Poison Avoidance Instruction was not much higher than Zhang Manqian's.
Compared to pushing forward with the Poison Avoidance Instruction, Zhang Manqian felt that reducing the side effects of pills would be more time-saving and labor-saving.
Moreover, the materials for developing the Spirit-Forging Pill are extremely abundant, so even if some waste occurs, it can be tolerated.
Zhang Xuezhou clearly didn't have time for these things and was heading in a direction where the pills were becoming increasingly outrageous. Zhang Manqian could only follow closely and try to solve the many problems left behind by Zhang Xuezhou.
Ren Anran is trapped by elixirs, just one step away from the Divine Ability Realm, while Zhang Manqian has stepped into the True Spirit Realm and finally realized the wonderful uses of the Realm Technique.
Once she locks onto an opponent, whether the opponent is near or far, she will be firmly locked onto them, thereby increasing the accuracy of her attacks.
This single ability, which allows her to almost completely ignore others' dodging abilities, nearly doubles her strength.
The Supreme Purity True Technique, which she used to possess, became difficult to apply in combat due to her increasing strength, causing Zhang Manqian to lose her dominant advantage. However, the ability granted by the Realm Technique has given her that possibility again.
Even relying solely on the Tiger and Crane Dual Forms and Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound Combat Technique, Zhang Manqian has the confidence to turn the impossible into the possible.
Her victory in the Guiluo Provincial Youth Challenge was partly due to the locking ability brought by the True Spirit Realm.
Ren Anran's skill in Realm Technique surpassed Zhang Manqian's by two levels, and his locking distance reached 350 meters, which made Zhang Manqian not worried about Ren Anran's combat ability.
Zhang Xuezhou kept reviewing Zhang Manqian's video recordings, while Zhang Manqian provided feedback on the use of techniques related to Realm Technique, Poison Avoidance Instruction, and elixirs.
Ren Anran has appeared!
It wasn't until someone called out from outside the restaurant that the two quickly adjusted their cameras and switched the screen to the live broadcast of the Qing'an Provincial Youth Challenge.
