Advantage

Ancient martial arts, which were primarily about killing and conquest decades or even centuries ago, struggle to adapt when they are abandoned by the times.

The advent of firearms and ammunition rendered ancient martial arts seem pathetic; ten years of arduous training could not withstand a single bullet. The emergence of Gene Sequence, on the other hand, completely relegated ancient martial arts to the dustbin of history.

Although many elderly people rely on ancient martial arts as a foundation for their physical strength, making their sequence strength extremely powerful, no one is willing to endure the arduous years of practicing ancient martial arts anymore in the face of the rapid and convenient advancement of Gene Sequence.

Once people have indulged in luxury, it becomes difficult for them to be frugal. Boosting their Gene Sequence can rapidly and significantly increase their strength, giving them the abilities of masters who have trained for twenty or thirty years in just a few years. No one would choose the slow and painful training of ancient martial arts in their impoverished state.

Moreover, practicing ancient martial arts not only requires painful and torturous training, but also relies on the use of various secret medicines.

Most prominent families possess one or two top-secret ancient martial arts techniques. These techniques require extremely complicated and complex elixirs, with the requirements increasing as you advance in the family. It's a process that is both laborious and unrewarding.

Laying a basic foundation like Zhang Xuezhou is not difficult; the secret medicine is just the introductory stage.

Luo Tianming spoke eloquently and enthusiastically, showing no trace of his former Gaogao. He even introduced the top-secret "Thousand Threads Entangling Body" technique from the past.

In an era without guns and Gene Sequence, being approached by someone like Luo Tianming, who excels at intricate webs and entanglements, meant disaster.

This is a pure and ruthless killing technique, so it's normal that it's kept in top secret.

Now, even though Luo Tianming has brought out the Thousand Threads Entanglement Technique, hardly anyone practices it.

He spoke eloquently about his most treasured skills, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

"These ancient martial arts are truly the essence of wisdom!"

"This is a treasure trove that humanity has refined over thousands of years. Even if our ancestors went astray, they corrected themselves over a long period, thus forming unique and effective abilities!"

Zhang Xuezhou praised the exquisite ancient martial arts remedies mentioned by Luo Tianming, while Luo Tianming mentioned that ancient martial arts killing techniques had undergone countless refinements and developments, almost reaching their limit.

This is the limit of the physical body, and also the ultimate goal that their ancestors could achieve by exploring incorrect cultivation methods.

The continuous relay of thousands of years has also resulted in these ancient martial arts that have been eliminated by the times, which is undoubtedly a great tragedy.

There was a hint of desolation in Luo Tianming's eyes, the brilliance of ancient martial arts in the past gone.

Even if such ancient martial arts, which have been phased out by the times, are kept secret, their current value is indeed not high.

"You can go to my residence, find the safe in my room, and then enter the code 74516 to see everything that's entangled in my affairs!"

After speaking for a while about being entangled in a thousand threads, Luo Tianming's voice gradually faded.

He was left with only a healthy mind; his broken body could hardly support him to communicate for long periods of time.

This forced Luo Tianming to let Zhang Xuezhou search for it on his own.

His code wasn't new; Zhang Xuezhou had known it once before.

"Take good rest. If you have any questions about Poison Avoidance Instruction, feel free to leave me a message or contact me. See you next time!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved goodbye to Luo Tianming and then left Luo Tianming's live stream.

Luo Tianming's amiability surprised Ren Anran, but this amiability also reflected Luo Tianming's unspeakable despondency.

This made her feel a little sad, realizing that no one is eternally powerful. Luo Tianming, who was once so powerful that no one dared to Ren Yisheng, had finally come to an end.

"I wonder what level Luo Tianming Poison Avoidance Instruction?" Zhang Manqian asked.

"He Realm Entry, so what level is he at? He's still just getting started," Zhang Xuezhou replied.

"You only taught him the Poison Avoidance Instruction and not the Realm Technique?" Zhang Manqian asked in surprise.

"His body is disabled, and his ideas are mainly based on ancient martial arts techniques, so it won't be easy for him to Realm Entry. It will take some time to promote the Poison Avoidance Instruction successfully," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Without studying 'Questions and Answers' to resolve doubts, the chances of an ordinary person Realm Entry are only one in ten thousand," Ren Anran said.

"These technical terms are indeed a headache. I used to find them hard to understand, but after reading Xuezhou's 'Questions and Answers,' I suddenly understood a lot. For the first time, I felt that the cultivation realm was not so difficult," Zhang Manqian nodded.

"Hey, Gaogao..."

Zhang Manqian and Ren Anran chatted for a few minutes, while Zhang Xuezhou, who was standing nearby, began communicating with Luo Gaogao.

Zhang Xuezhou lacked time to search for Luo Tianming's residence, and he also needed to avoid suspicion.

He handed the matter over to Luo Gaogao Luo Gaogao, who readily agreed without asking any questions or requiring Zhang Xuezhou to provide any relevant documentation.

"You have a good relationship with the Luo Household!" Ren Anran turned to Zhang Xuezhou and smiled.

Zhang Xuezhou and Luo Tianming communicated like old friends, and Luo Burang that he was allowed to freely enter Luo's laboratory. Zhang Xuezhou and Luo Gaogao, on the other hand, had almost no gaps in their communication.

It's not surprising that Zhang Xuezhou has good relationships with certain people or families; what's surprising is that he maintains good relationships with almost all three generations of people—old, middle-aged, and young—and even had a relatively good relationship with Professor Luo Hui Zhang Xuezhou the past.

This was a very strange interaction, one that Ren Anran felt she could hardly replicate.

She looked at Zhang Xuezhou with great interest, finding it difficult to understand how Zhang Xuezhou had achieved this level of social interaction and how he could switch between different social roles so easily.

"I was just messing around, and it just so happened that I interacted with them at different times, this..."

"The reason must be that Xuezhou interacts with them on an equal footing, right?"

Ren Anran asked curiously, and Zhang Xuezhou explained that he thought the reason was coincidental, while Zhang Manqian believed that this situation was formed only through equal interaction.

"Equality isn't something we can simply choose to achieve. For example, when I interacted with Luo Tianming in the past, he would always act like a senior and would never communicate with me on an equal footing," Ren Anran said earnestly. "Even now, it's difficult to achieve equality with committee members like Li Yingbo and Zhu Liangping. Even Uncle Wang treats us as juniors!"

"Then if we raise our strength to the Fifth Sequence, the situation will change, right?" Zhang Manqian said.

"If we advance to the Fifth Sequence and change the situation, how will Luo Gaogao and the others look at us?"

Ren Anran asked with a smile.

Ren Anran is an expert in pseudo-psychology, but even she would find it difficult to replicate Zhang Xuezhou's interpersonal skills.

If Ren Anran were to find a more accurate answer, she would say that Zhang Xuezhou must have held a significant advantage when interacting with these people, thus bridging the gap in their status and power.

In other words, Zhang Xuezhou consistently engaged in advantageous negotiations, possessing numerous desirable assets that facilitated the attainment of equality between the parties.

However, it is rare for lower-level people to possess what higher-level people lack, and even if someone achieves this once through good fortune, it is difficult to repeat it repeatedly.

After spending a long time together, Ren Anran finally realized that Zhang Xuezhou's greatest strength was not his individual ability, but his unparalleled social skills.
