"It wasn't me who ruined Zoro's important seed; it was Zoro himself who didn't handle it well!"

"The seed he had stored and cultivated got stuck in Zhang Xuezhou's head, and it just so happened that it clashed with Zhang Xuezhou's advancement sequence, almost Zhang Xuezhou him!"

"Zorro's technique is subpar, what does that have to do with me!"

"I didn't expect Zuo Luo's methods to be so inadequate; he couldn't even control Fourth Sequence individual!"

"Given his six-star strength, this kind of unstable control and rejection should occur at the seventh or Eighth Sequence level!"

Outside the X432 instrument, Zuo Quan's expression kept changing.

A multitude of thoughts kept surfacing in his mind.

It looked like clear, transparent viscous liquid, but this was the seed that Zuo Luo had planted in Zhang Xuezhou's head.

Normally, this seed should germinate and grow, thus becoming deeply rooted and influencing the subspecies until it forms a false memory reflex, burying Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou's true memories and making him completely obedient to them.

However, the seeds that Zhang Xuezhou rejected clearly did not grow; instead, they became rotten seeds.

This is an extremely rare occurrence, and a rare failure for the Spirit Plant like Zoro into a subspecies.

This shouldn't have happened. Zuo Luo, the six-star plant, shouldn't have stumbled on Zhang Xuezhou either. But when Zuo Luo was implanting the subspecies that night, Zhang Xuezhou was completely out of his mind, and they worked hard for most of the night without success.

Now, however, the consequences of failed implantation are also emerging.

Before Zuo Luo could recover, the seed had already been expelled from Zhang Xuezhou's brain.

Despite having the strongest protective abilities of the subspecies, Zuo Luo not only suffered personal injuries but also lost two of the three subspecies slots granted by his talent, leaving only Zuo Teng, who went to Qin Meng, to survive.

"Zorro is finished!"

Zuo Quan respected Zuo Luo quite a bit. After all, Zuo Luo, a six-star plant, was no joke. After possessing three subspecies, Zuo Luo could kill him as easily as swatting a mosquito.

However, with the death and crippling of the two subspecies, and Zuo Teng not being considered a high-ranking expert, Zuo Luo's position undoubtedly became precarious.

"You looked down on me, refusing to relinquish your own Star Power in exchange!"

Zuo Quan felt that Zuo Luo was a bit too unlucky. After Pei Jing's scheme failed, the other party should have planted the fortune of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum, or even taken over part of the fortune, so that the fortune could be turned around and return to normal.

Although this inevitably cost Zuo Luo and even weakened Xingzhu's strength, it was still better than failure.

At this moment, the death and crippling of the subspecies prove that Zuo Luo has fallen into a low point in his fortune, which even makes Zuo Quan reluctant to get close to him.

He kept thinking and considering the consequences of his actions.

"My luck only slightly increased the chances of success. If others have a 10% success rate, I might have 20%, 30%, or 40%, but it won't turn zero into one. Even without my help, Zhang Xuezhou would likely have been able to do the same thing, it would just have taken a little longer. Besides, even if I hadn't mentioned it, Zuo Luo might not have known!"

He pondered it over and over, and finally felt that there would be no bad consequences for him. It was all Zuo Luo's own fault, and had nothing to do with him. Even if he hadn't come to give Zhang Xuezhou the three lucky ornaments, the other party would have had a high probability of doing so.

"Is this cerebrospinal fluid leaking from its nostrils?!"

"Don't worry, Xuezhou isn't afraid of physical damage, as long as he's still breathing!"

"You guys need to think of something, my brother has really messed up his head!"

"Don't panic, stay calm, wait a little longer, I'll call Gao Tingsheng over right now!"

While Zuo Quan was quickly thinking, Zhang Manqian, Ren Anran, and Ren Yisheng also spoke up one after another.

Bleeding is not a problem, but bleeding from the brain is a much bigger issue. Even Ren Yisheng could hardly remain calm. He felt he needed to quickly summon Gao Tingsheng to check on the situation, as only Western Capital City had the ability to perform surgery and provide swift treatment.

"Don't call him Gao Tingsheng!"

Just as Ren Yisheng was about to take out his communicator, he heard Zhang Xuezhou let out a low cry, followed by a shattering sound.

"Hold your heads and back down!"

He opened his eyes and couldn't help but shout.

But in just a brief moment, the scene before his eyes was one of darkness and light, switching back and forth in an instant, making it difficult for Ren Yisheng to concentrate.

A feeling like a heavy hammer slammed into his heart, Ren Yisheng couldn't help but reach out and push.

The sounds of soaring dragons and the heavy thuds of giant elephants echoed past, and only then did Ren Yisheng feel as if everything had returned to normal.

He looked at Ren Anran, who was swaying unsteadily, and then at Zhang Manqian, whose nose was spurting blood. He quickly waved his hand, covering her up.

"Left..."

When Ren Yisheng glanced at Zuo Quan, he saw Zuo Quan's head disappear, replaced by a swaying purple flower.

This is almost identical to the purple gladiolus in bloom recorded by everyone, except that the flower on Zuo Quan's head is larger and more vibrant.

Ren Yisheng's thoughts raced through his mind, he initially intended to leave Zuo Quan alone, but considering Huang Daoxian behind Zuo Quan and the complex relationships they had built up, he steeled himself and covered Zuo Quan up as well.

The explosion was accompanied by shattering and a shockwave like a storm, scattering countless fragments of instruments. The sparks from the circuit malfunction flashed and disappeared quickly as the power was cut off.

The dull thud sounded like dynamite exploding underground. Just as Ren Yisheng crouched down, dozens of pieces of equipment fell down.

Fine scales appeared on his body as he embraced Ren Anran and Zhang Manqian.

Ah~

Behind Ren Yisheng, Zuo Quan let out a low cry of pain, and then a series of impact sounds landed on Zuo's body.

Having broken free from the intimidating influence of Zhang Xuezhou's unconscious actions, Zuo Quan clearly returned to normal and began to speak out normally.

At this moment, Ren Yisheng was caught in a dilemma: ignoring Zuo Quan was also problematic. He had no choice but to protect Ren Anran and the others, and after turning his back to shield them, he lay down on the ground, letting the falling heavy objects crash down on him.

As for the case of Zuo Quan, the other party needs to make a judgment first.

If Zuo Quan believes he has inadvertently revealed traces of the purple gladiolus and then tries to escape or resort to underhanded tactics, Ren Yisheng will teach him a lesson about the Eighth Sequence.

If Zuo Quan acts as if nothing happened, Ren Yisheng will also deny what he saw, indicating that he was unable to protect the other party due to his protective measures. In that case, an apology will suffice.

He made up his mind and let Zuo Quan be smashed by various pieces of broken equipment.

"It hurts!"

After Zhang Manqian belatedly realized she was no longer under the influence of the intimidation, she cried out in pain. The sounds of impact, cracking, and explosion in the lounge ceased, and everything seemed to fall into calm.

Ren Yisheng pushed aside a large ceiling light and electrical components on his body, while Ren Anran laboriously pushed aside a metal plate lying beside her. Only then did the light from outside appear in everyone's eyes.

"Xuezhou's spiritual power has transformed into physical power. Fortunately, the loss of control did not occur in the research lab!"

Ren Anran murmured softly, her heart pounding, but her face wasn't filled with fear, but rather with an indescribable joy.

Zhang Xuezhou's rest room was so rudimentary that it usually only had a bed. Recently, an X432 medical device was installed to repair brain injuries, which also involved some necessary room lighting.

Because there was little debris piled up here, the impact of the mental shockwave causing shattering and explosions was not too high, and the resulting damage was limited.

After Ren Yisheng covered himself with his body, Ren Anran only suffered two marks that looked like sword wounds, while Zhang Manqian had more than ten bleeding wounds, as if she had been slashed more than ten times in a short period of time, but not to the point of breaking bones.

"Committee Member Zuo, are you alright?"

It was only at this moment that Ren Yisheng glanced at Zhang Xuezhou, who was also slowly wriggling in the ruins, and pushed Zhang Manqian and the others back a few steps to the door and lean against the wall before he whispered a question.

But when a cracking sound came from the roof, Ren Yisheng's expression changed as well.
