Ferocious Beasts Together
The mainstream genetic discourse at the top of the Scarlet Alliance State frequently touches upon the issues of humanity and bestiality.
When rational control is lacking, a person's animalistic nature will inevitably emerge, leading to all sorts of unbridled behavior.
When the abilities of foreign genes in the body are highlighted, humans gain bestial power, but this also brings a stronger bestial nature to their hearts.
Whether it's the First Sequence or the current mainstream Sixth Sequence for prevention, the higher the sequence level, the higher the possibility of the bestial nature being unleashed.
No matter how self-disciplined one's behavior is, this animalistic influence is unavoidable.
Among the many professors, those who hold this view constitute a significant force, and they also oppose the widespread promotion of Gene Sequence.
Age is a powerful weapon against animalistic instincts. Whether it's the recklessness of youth or the difficulty of controlling one's behavior in old age, these instincts can flare up.
Many young people only begin to study Gene Sequence around the age of eighteen. This is not only due to physical maturity, but also to important psychological factors.
Younger people can organize and standardize things, but for older people, who occupy high positions, standardization is almost impossible.
Cai Guoli is a giant in Lianzhou Province, enjoying the best conditions and controlling the province's resources in the past. He is also one of the top combat forces in Lianzhou Province.
The fact that Cai Guoli can manage a large province and improve his Gene Sequence that he is not a corrupt and decadent person occupying a high position, but a person with high intelligence, emotional intelligence, self-discipline and other high qualities.
Clearly, he has lost control.
Before Zhang Xuezhou could finish reciting the rarely used Shangqing True Technique, a roar came from afar. A ferocious beast with tiger stripes on its skin but lacking fur appeared from behind a pile of rocks more than a hundred meters away. Then, Cai Guoli suddenly stood up, letting out a series of low growls that were hard to suppress. His body gradually bent down, and he tried to walk by supporting himself with his hands.
"Go... go further away!"
Cai Guoli stared at Wang Haoran with bloodshot eyes, then looked at Zhang Xuezhou, and tried to speak as he roared in a low voice.
He showed signs of pain on his face, but he couldn't control his behavior.
Patches of bluish-black color appeared on every part of his body, and his fingernails transformed into hooks resembling bird beaks, while jet-black hair continued to sprout from all over his body.
His body's genes went out of control, which led to a lack of rationality. Cai Guoli's face was ashen.
However, he clearly still retained a sliver of rationality. He not only shooed away Zhang Xuezhou and the others, but also crouched down like a wild beast, glaring menacingly at the ferocious beast in the distance, without considering Zhang Xuezhou and Wang Haoran nearby as threats.
"Song Xianzong has reversed the chaos of his twilight years; try your best to hold on!"
Zhang Xuezhou shouted.
When Cai Guoli bent his fingers and gripped slightly in his direction, Zhang Xuezhou's Qingzhen technique was immediately suppressed, and he was pulled away by Wang Haoran, who was guarding him.
"Leaving aside the risks of Committee Member Cai's later years, that ferocious beast is the real killer!"
Wang Haoran felt a chill in his hands and feet, realizing that this area was too risky.
At this point, the situation is still at a stalemate and under control. However, if a fight breaks out, Cai Guoli will inevitably lose control, and the behavior of the ferocious beast will be difficult to predict.
Zhang Xuezhou possesses a suppression ability almost equal to Ren Yisheng's, and he is also fast, but Zhang Xuezhou reaction speed is extremely poor compared to those of higher- Sequence Holder.
While everyone else can dodge and weave in close combat, Zhang Xuezhou would inevitably be killed in one move.
"Get rid of that ferocious beast, then I'll try casting the spell!"
Zhang Xuezhou out a soft exclamation.
The Shangqing True Technique is not only a technique he rarely uses, but its application is also extremely limited, making it difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to improve his Technique Method.
Just as a doctor lacks practical skills without patients, they become flustered and overwhelmed when actually treating patients, and no amount of theory can make up for this deficiency.
There was little difference between Zhang Xuezhou releasing the Supreme Purity True Technique at this moment and...
He couldn't help but miss the leaves of the poisonous tree on Broken Soul Ridge.
In a short moment, they moved more than ten meters away. Zhang Xuezhou glanced at Wang Haoran, Wang Haoran did not argue but instead tried his best to find a place to cover his body.
In a crisis, each person's words can express their stance on the matter. Wang Haoran tends to stay away from danger, while Zhang Xuezhou wants to try the power of magic again and try to control the situation as much as possible.
The two had different opinions, but Wang Haoran was willing to lend a helping hand.
Zhang Xuezhou's style of doing things isn't exactly admirable, but if he were the one in crisis, Zhang Xuezhou would be the most lovable person.
Different stances lead to different perspectives.
Wang Haoran had previously collaborated with Zhang Xuezhou and others in the Thousand Islands Alliance and was well aware of Zhang Xuezhou's character.
For this reason, he trusted Zhang Xuezhou implicitly, and there was virtually no gap in their cooperation.
With a swift stride, Wang Haoran leaped into the rubble, the throwing blade he had used before now caught in his hand and began to spin rapidly.
The two had previously cooperated to target ferocious beasts, thus escaping their pursuit, so this attack was a familiar and easy task for them.
"We must do everything we can to avoid the backlash that Committee Member Cai might cause!" Wang Haoran warned.
"If he falls into chaos, then there's no high risk for me!"
"What?"
Wang Haoran exclaimed in surprise, but the flying blade in his hand did not slow down. It spun even faster than when he attacked the ferocious beast, waiting for the beast to get closer.
The ferocious beast and Cai Guoli roared from time to time, but the sounds of their clash did not come as expected. After only a few dozen seconds, only the faint footsteps of approaching figures and Cai Guoli's heavy breathing could be heard.
Something's not right!
Wang Haoran peeked out to check the situation after reminding Zhang Xuezhou when he suddenly felt a heaviness in his head, as if the drowsiness he felt during a cold was washing over him.
"Hey!"
At the same time, Zhang Xuezhou shouted, instead of calling out "three, two, one" as previously agreed.
Just as Wang Haoran managed to spin the flying blade in his hand, a painful roar came from afar, and Cai Guoli rushed towards the place where the two were hiding.
"This is bad!"
Wang Haoran shook his head vigorously, and his groggy mind cleared up a bit.
Just as he was about to grab Zhang Xuezhou and move him away from their hiding place, he heard Zhang Xuezhou shout again, and Cai Guoli then rolled on the ground, clutching his head.
Another furless tiger-skinned beast roared in the distance, but its previous relaxed demeanor was replaced by wariness. It paced back and forth with small, shuffling steps, watching Zhang Xuezhou with extreme alertness.
"This ferocious beast possesses the ability to attack with its mind; it even seemed to have taken control of Committee Member Cai just now!"
Zhang Xuezhou used his first deterrent to drive away the ferocious beast, and his second deterrent to control Cai Guoli.
Even after losing control of their behavior, Sequence Holder retain physical strength and can still react instinctively to fight, but their mental defenses will decrease.
This is the experience Ren Yisheng gained from testing Pei Jingshi.
Zhang Xuezhou's previous ability to intimidate and suppress was enough to influence Pei Jing. After his Mental Strengthening reached the seventh chapter, the level of his influence also reached the Seventh Sequence. He could also control the ferocious beasts for a short time, which was enough to suppress the Sixth Sequence.
Before Cai Guoli, whose mental defenses had been weakened, could even get close, he was pinned to the ground by Zhang Xuezhou and began to struggle.
At the same time, Zhang Xuezhou also looked astonished.
He clearly never expected that he would one day encounter a 'ferocious beast companion'.
The hairless tiger-skinned beast before them could also use mental abilities, and even influenced Cai Guoli, possibly pushing him further into a state of mental derangement.
