Recovery

If he's not idle, it's perfectly normal for Zhang Xuezhou to be so focused on his work.

Looking at Zhang Xuezhou, who could guide the direction of Gene Sequence with just a few words, Ren Anran felt that Zhang Xuezhou had become accustomed to hard work over the years, and it would not be easy for him to get out of this state.

Being constantly preoccupied with interests and conflicts makes it difficult to reflect on oneself, which is why Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly sought quick success.

Zhang Xuezhou found it difficult to calm down in this state.

Ren Anran felt that Zhang Xuezhou's decision to go into seclusion for six days in order to rescue her was extremely rare.

"Perhaps he really can't stop!"

Although they were very close, Ren Anran really didn't know anything about Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation journey.

Judging from Zhang Xuezhou's current temperament, even if Zhang Xuezhou were to choose a different path in life, it would likely be done in a hurry.

Without this kind of hurried and rapid response, Zhang Xuezhou would have found it difficult to get to where he is today if he had been more leisurely, let alone continue to climb upwards in another world.

"If only the Xuezhou could one day master the laws governing its operation, perhaps I could go and help, or perhaps the Emperor could even come to discuss the Dao face-to-face, allowing me to understand the true Only Me and my True Self!"

Zhang Xuezhou's memories were erased, and the Void Furnace also lost its related memories. Whenever Ren Anran thought of that distorted, dark abyss world, her heart was filled with emotions that were hard to suppress.

She touched the bronze tortoise that Ning Que had given her, trying to find the connection between them.

For Zhang Xuezhou, who is highly likely to engage in a spiritual confrontation, the Xuanqi Heavy Armor is a crucial factor in distinguishing him from the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

If Zhang Xuezhou can also obtain the protective power of the Xuanqi Heavy Armor, his chances of winning the competition will definitely increase by three points.

She was clearly eager to contact the true owner of the bronze tortoise.

The unremarkable bronze tortoise resembled an antique-style craft, yet Ren Anran found it to be lively and dynamic.

In a daze, Ren Anran felt the bronze tortoise in her hand stretch out its four legs and begin to swim like a fish.

She was holding the bronze tortoise, but somehow she stepped on its back.

Waves of dizziness and darkness washed over Ren Anran, and then she heard a sigh.

"I made a mistake, messed it up, and it's gone! If I had known the Luck Bead would dissipate, I should have just taken it in the first place. This little girl came riding on the Black Tortoise; it seems I've really killed Huangdao!"

In the darkness, the lamentations, like a subwoofer at maximum power, boomed and sank as deep as thunder.

Ren Anran's greatest insight came from the Emperor. When the Emperor waved his hand, he could summon wind and clouds and unleash lightning. Anyone who fell into the Emperor's palm would be devoured by countless lightning bolts and leave no trace. This power was so direct and visibly terrifying.

The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon that Zhang Xuezhou faced nearly killed them, leaving only a fragment of their remains. Although Ren Anran knew that the other party had once been very powerful, she did not have the detailed knowledge of it.

But the current lamentations are undoubtedly another kind of powerful and direct experience, and also the second insight that Ren Anran has gained.

What the zodiac gave you, we can give you in return!

She stood on the bronze tortoise's back, the booming sound filling her ears, and the dizzying darkness flashing before her eyes, but Ren Anran still managed to shout out, trying to communicate with it.

"You took my profound energy, you must take it back!"

As the deep voice continued to enter her ears, Ren Anran realized that the plates of her Xuanqi Heavy Armor were gradually dimming.

This is a powerful armor that Huang Fortune Body could not withstand even the slightest impact from, and it could also withstand a piercing mental attack.

Ren Anran was spared three high-probability fatal combat incidents thanks to the Xuanqi Heavy Armor, and also survived the agonizing process of the Fire Crystal melting sequence lock thanks to the Xuanqi Heavy Armor.

She never imagined that the Xuanqi Heavy Armor would detach from her so easily.

The power that can be obtained through supplication is very strong, but it can also be taken away.

Ren Anran can accept unexpected gifts, but she will not become dependent on them to the point of being unable to break free from the Xuanqi Heavy Armor.

However, she was extremely anxious. This might be her only chance to negotiate. The other party's bronze tortoise might be waiting for an opportunity to approach her and retrieve the Xuan Qi Heavy Armor. If the Xuan Qi Heavy Armor was gone, the bronze tortoise might be useless and might be abandoned by its owner.

Can you hear my voice?

Amidst the deafening noise, Ren Anran's shout was extremely faint.

Even though she didn't care about the dissipation of her Xuan Qi armor, her efforts to speak have had no effect so far.

"If it were Xuezhou standing here..."

In reality, Ren Anran has zero experience dealing with powerful cultivators who are beyond the scope of the realm.

Her communication with the Emperor was an occasional occurrence, and the maintenance of this occasional occurrence was inseparable from Zhang Xuezhou's help, which led to their continued contact for several years afterward.

Ren Anran's situation worsened after being led to Western Kunlun by the Emperor; she nearly died within a few days.

In terms of social skills, Ren Anran is indeed far inferior to Zhang Xuezhou.

At this point, she found herself in a situation where communication was futile; no matter how she called out or shouted, the other person ignored her completely.

It's like a wealthy person wouldn't care at all about a beggar's curses about being rich and heartless; no matter what Ren Anran says, it's useless.

In this situation, Ren Anran could only think about what Zhang Xuezhou would do if he were in this situation.

"Wait a minute, we have the Luck Bead!"

Her mind raced, and Ren Anran tried her best to recall the communication methods Zhang Xuezhou might use.

Of course, Ren Anran didn't know what a Luck Bead was, and she didn't have one.

This doesn't fit Ren Anran's usual way of communicating, but it's extremely suitable for Zhang Xuezhou.

"What?"

The incessant chatter ceased, and the color of the Xuanqi Heavy Armor did not dim further.

Two enormous eyes appeared in the dizzying darkness, and when Ren Anran looked at them, it felt as if she were looking at two suns.

"Do you have a luck bead?"

Below the enormous eyes was darkness, but within that darkness seemed to lie a gigantic mouth and nostrils, Ren Anran could even feel a burning heat.

"We have the Luck Bead," Ren Anran said. "I can introduce you to my friend. He defeated Huang Dao and can perfectly replace him in your relationship!"

"Defeat the Zodiac? It seems your friend is that emperor the Zodiac mentioned. I told him to be careful, but he wouldn't listen. Now he's suffering the backlash for who knows how long!"

A surprised voice came from the darkness.

The heavy armor of profound energy on her body was reduced to wisps; it did not continue to disappear, but it also did not fully recover.

If Zhang Xuezhou had been the one facing Xuanming, things might not have ended this way. After all, Ren Anran and Zhang Xuezhou had known each other for so many years, Ren Anran had never seen Zhang Xuezhou suffer a loss.

But she is not Zhang Xuezhou. Ren Anran can be compatible with Zhang Xuezhou in many ways, but Ren Anran is very weak when it comes to moving upwards and finds it difficult to take the lead in a limited discourse.

She could only quickly hand over the task, and had no choice but to let Zhang Xuezhou, who was capable, do more work.
