Rejection

"A true expert's skill is immediately apparent; Committee Member Zuo has done Xuezhou a great favor this time!"

Beside the X432 medical instrument, Ren Yisheng repeatedly tried to suppress Zhang Xuezhou, but he found it difficult to soothe Zhang's dire condition.

But when Zuo Quan put the turquoise necklace on Zhang Xuezhou, Ren Yisheng felt that everything seemed to loosen up a bit.

Zhang Manqian unleashed the Supreme Purity True Technique once again, and Ren Anran also raised her hand and repeatedly cast spells until she finally succeeded.

Whether it was useful or not, everyone used every means at their disposal.

Even with Zuo Quan, an outsider, present, Ren Anran and the others did not hold back their methods.

But Zuo Quan was clearly not paying much attention to Ren Anran and the others at the moment. He was muttering to himself, feeling that the mess left by Zuo Luo was about to be finished.

Little did he know that Zuo Luo was up to such a massive scale; he was practically risking his life for it. No wonder Zuo Luo needed his help to get back to Western Capital City.

Zuo Quan felt like he was holding a small steering wheel, but he wasn't driving a car or an aircraft; he was steering and orienting a giant cargo ship sailing into the distance.

The more Zuo Quan thought about Zuo Luo's control methods, the more sweaty he became.

He not only had difficulty controlling the direction, but he was even starting to get completely stuck to the left.

Zuo Quan was not as skilled as Zuo Luo in terms of star level, but he was still experienced. After a short while of encountering the situation, his eyes began to show specks of purple light.

If Ren Yisheng and the others hadn't been nearby, he almost wanted to unleash a mesmerizing light in an instant, enveloping everything in a state of illusion under his control.

But Zuo Quan knew very well that if he did that, given the ruthless nature of the Sequence Committee, he would most likely be turned into a specimen. This forced Zuo Quan to suppress his instincts and instead fall into a state of exhaustion and adjustment.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Zuo Quan finally heard Ren Yisheng's exclamation of praise.

This made his body relax, and the faint purple light in his eyes faded in an instant.

"Did Committee Member Zhang successfully push forward the sequence?"

Zuo Quan exclaimed, and the hallucinations of the sun, moonset, tides, and giants before his eyes faded, revealing Zhang Xuezhou sitting still in the medical equipment.

Compared to Zhang Xuezhou's previous frantic struggles, Zhang Xuezhou is now calm, and his expression has even softened.

As long as he wasn't blind, Zuo Quan felt that the other party's dangerous period had passed.

But Zuo Quanzhen had never seen a family's succession pushed to such a life-or-death point.

Of course, Zuo Quan hadn't seen much of the world, and he lacked experience in entering the Fourth Sequence, and he rarely observed others entering the Fourth Sequence.

In areas where knowledge was unknown, Zuo Quan's theoretical knowledge was clearly insufficient, and he refrained from offering opinions rashly at this time.

"Whether he can succeed depends on himself," Ren Yisheng said solemnly. "Both he and I have advanced mental combat techniques, which differ slightly from the normal sequential progression."

"Well... there does seem to be a slight difference!" Zuo Quan agreed.

"If he survives, his sequence will advance one step; if he doesn't, then..."

What would happen then?

"Mental disorder is hardly normal, and may even lead to dementia, which is a drawback of mental combat techniques!"

Ren Yisheng sighed.

His posture wasn't entirely pretentious in front of Zuo Quan; it was simply the truth.

However, Zhang Xuezhou's initiative did not involve the Fourth Sequence, but rather the seventh chapter of the Mental Strengthening Chapter.

This was a critical juncture that nearly cost him his life back then, and it's not something an ordinary person could overcome quickly by simply injecting two doses of medication.

Zhang Xuezhou is undoubtedly no ordinary person, but Ren Yisheng's confidence still has some shortcomings.

He felt everything was happening too fast and too hastily.

If Zhang Xuezhou had prepared for six months or even just one or two months, or even half a month, a week, or three to five days, Ren Yisheng would have felt much more at ease.

However, Zhang Xuezhou didn't even have three to five days to prepare, and he may have already stepped into this high-risk endeavor the moment he regained consciousness.

The other party didn't even communicate with him to discuss it, yet they completely believed what they provided.

This trust had reached a point where it was beyond words, but it also left Ren Yisheng feeling uncertain.

Zhang Xuezhou's expression calmed down, but Ren Yisheng still frowned. After his gaze met Zuo Quan's, he looked at Ren Anran and Zhang Manqian.

In Ren Anran's eyes, he saw urgency, but compared to Ren Yisheng, Ren Anran was as composed as Zhang Xuezhou was just over ten days ago.

At that time, Ren Anran was lost in thought and in danger, while Zhang Xuezhou remained calm and composed.

There is clearly an extremely high level of trust between these two people. Even if the other party is about to fail, this trust will not manifest as despair, but rather as a calm handling of all related matters.

In Zhang Manqian's eyes, Ren Yisheng saw a sense of resentment and self-blame.

But Ren Yisheng must tell the truth: Zhang Manqian is already excellent enough.

Having enough resources to enter the sequence is not difficult, but being at the very front of the sequence is extremely difficult.

Excluding Zhang Xuezhou from the Third Sequence, Ren Yisheng felt that the Scarlet Alliance State had reached Zhang Manqian.

This was also the person he arranged to go to the Aomeijia Alliance to participate in the Sequence Conflict, and who directly won the Third Sequence Conflict with overwhelming strength.

If given some time, Ren Yisheng believes that Zhang Manqian Zhang Manqian go even further and achieve even greater success.

Zhang Manqian may not be able to strike across different sequence levels like Zhang Xuezhou, but Zhang Manqian has undoubtedly played a very stable role. Excluding special cases like Zhang Xuezhou, her opponent has almost firmly established herself at the corresponding sequence level, and this advantage may even continue.

There's nothing wrong with feeling resentful and guilty; it can help one rid themselves of pride and complacency, and it can also spur them on to move forward.

The people present were undoubtedly in a very healthy state of mind, and each had their own thoughts.

All four pairs of eyes eventually turned to Zhang Xuezhou, who was inside the X432 device.

"Committee Member Zuo, can you hang two more of your lucky charms for him?" Ren Anran suddenly asked, "Because of Zuo Teng, Xuezhou has always trusted you a lot!"

"I also have great trust in Committee Member Zhang and will not be stingy with these things!"

Zuo Quan nodded repeatedly.

Among the new generation of alternate committee members, Ren Anran's excellence is undoubtedly second only to Zhang Xuezhou. This is also the person that Zuo Quan and Zuo Luo want to win over, and they want to bring him to their side through manipulation.

The Ren Household is now extending an olive branch, and even willing to believe in the lucky gemstone because of Zhang Xuezhou's recommendation. This makes Zuo Quan very happy, as he feels that he doesn't need to repeatedly verify his luck through the torment of being tested by luck and misfortune.

To be honest, as long as one is willing to believe in them and follow them, Zuo Quan really doesn't care whether the control process is cruel or peaceful.

What they demanded was control of the Scarlet Alliance State, in order to lay the groundwork for future actions, rather than establishing a dynasty under white terror.

Zuo Quan reached out and pulled, and a ruby ring and a sapphire ring slipped off his finger and were put on Zhang Xuezhou's middle finger.

"It's over!"

He had just put on the rings when the two rings and the turquoise necklace began to shimmer, their effects almost simultaneous.

Just as Zuo Quan was trying to find out where the effect would appear, he saw two streams of clear mucus spurt from Zhang Xuezhou's nostrils.

This sent a chill down his spine; he knew he had messed things up terribly.

The seed that Zuo Luo had painstakingly controlled that night was surprisingly expelled by Zhang Xuezhou at this moment thanks to good luck.
