Huang's Perception

Having escaped the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, Zhang Xuezhou no longer felt the same urgency for cultivation in reality, and he even stopped caring about Xuanming's Xuan Qi Heavy Armor.

However, Zhang Xuezhou has cultivated a habit of self-cultivation over many years and understands the importance of planning ahead. He still proceeds with the tasks at hand in an orderly manner.

Moreover, he genuinely wanted to master 'fast and slow' at will, and even develop a domain power like Donghua's.

This would not only facilitate leading many people freely in and out of that distorted space, but also help him understand Donghua's strength, thus avoiding difficulties in resisting them in the future when they become enemies.

"It's been a while since I've seen you. I'm also very curious about what's behind that space!"

"Everyone's not in such a mess now, so I'm bringing a camera in to film some videos!"

Luo Burang, who came to the B13 Research Institute to deliver the catalyst, unusually made a sarcastic remark about Zhang Xuezhou, to which Zhang Xuezhou responded with a rather helpless tone.

"It seems there's no safe way to get in or out of there!"

As soon as Zhang Xuezhou said he was filming with a video camera, Luo Burang knew that the venue would be difficult to access.

For researchers with a strong thirst for knowledge, the specific benefits they gain are not so important; what matters is experiencing the unknown and thereby gaining a deeper understanding.

Luo Burang was quite envious of Zhang Xuezhou's ability to enter and exit, and inquired about the conditions under which Zhang Xuezhou could enter and exit.

"The difficulty of the Ninth Sequence is exceptionally high. Even if you only need a catalyst to reach it, the difficulty of successfully advancing these things to that level is extremely high," Luo Burang said regretfully. "I feel that this kind of catalyst research is like the equipment upgrades offered by some unscrupulous game companies. They clearly expend a lot of effort, and it seems like you can reach it with just a click, but what they give us is to start all over again from scratch!"

"The catalyst thing will definitely work," Zhang Xuezhou said, waving his hand to reassure her. "We'll use some metaphysics when the time comes; this kind of thing needs metaphysics!"

"From the heart?" Luo Burang asked with a smile.

"Truly from the heart!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded, and Luo Burang, at a loss for words, could only agree to Zhang Xuezhou's joking remark.

"Zhang Hao, the younger brother in our family, is actually so knowledgeable that he could be our teacher!"

Nowadays, the B13 Research Institute is not a place that anyone can come to; even Luo Burang needs an invitation to enter.

The Emperor was a new face at the research institute, and he looked somewhat similar to Zhang Xuezhou. Even though Luo Burang didn't like to build relationships, he still asked him a few questions.

"Zhang Hao has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Whether it's Gene Sequence or catalyst-related topics, you can let him take a look. He might gain some unexpected insights!"

"Oh?"

Luo Burang's question was simple, but Zhang Xuezhou's reply was anything but. This caught Luo Burang's attention for a few seconds before he finally tried to start a conversation about everyday matters in an attempt to strike up a conversation with the Emperor.

Given the function f(x)...

Hearing Luo refuse to give the Emperor a math test to assess his math skills, Zhang Xuezhou was at a loss for words.

The Emperor was very cooperative, occasionally pondering and occasionally answering the relevant questions.

Zhang Xuezhou once spent three months cramming for the adult exam. The Emperor started from scratch learning all the basic content, and then crammed for all the subjects of the adult exam. His learning speed was astonishing.

Although Zhang Xuezhou could do it right now, the speed was truly inhuman and gave Zhang Xuezhou a real jolt of excitement.

The Emperor is still working hard at his age, but he's only in his thirties and his mentality is already showing signs of laziness. Zhang Xuezhou really needs to adjust this.

"Let me go through the sequence!"

Zhang Xuezhou is at the Fourth Sequence level, and he clearly hopes to complete the Fifth Sequence and Sixth Sequence in one go.

This involves issues of gene conversion and blood drug alteration. He only hopes that his gene conversion won't be too unorthodox, otherwise it will cause some trouble.

"It feels like you guys are playing around!"

Zhang Manqian looked at Zhang Hao, who could answer difficult adult exam questions in a short time, then at Zhang Xuezhou, who was advancing in the sequence as easily as eating and drinking, then at her own hands, and then at Ren Wuyang, Ren Wuyang equally expressionless beside her.

Once you've seen it all, nothing seems surprising anymore.

Ren Wuyang was so devastated that she became withdrawn, while Zhang Manqian regained her confidence through the Aomeijia immigration community, realizing that it wasn't that she was incapable, but rather that others were simply too outrageous.

Such individuals are extremely rare, either born with high intelligence or experiencing unrepeatable life circumstances, which explains their rarity.

"They must have things they can't do either, right?"

Only after Zhang Manqian nudged Ren Wuyang Ren Wuyang he give a dry reply.

"You've been observing closely for so many days, you must have some understanding by now," Zhang Manqian said.

"Natural advantages are unique and cannot be replicated, and opportunities acquired later in life cannot be caught up with. Once you get on this platform, you will move forward in sync with others; if you don't get on, you can only look up to others," Ren Wuyang said, pursing his lips.

"I don't want to hear your lectures, I just want to know how to get closer," Zhang Manqian said. "An Ran used to be just an average genius, but she's caught up!"

You can't replicate her life!

Ren Wuyang looked at Zhang Manqian.

Looking up, Zhang Manqian is far from Zhang Xuezhou and the others, but if Zhang Manqian just looks down slightly, she can see a vast expanse of despairing geniuses. It's a distance that these people can't catch up to even if they try their hardest. Even Xu Zhihui, who possesses the Sequence Lock, had to suffer a bitter defeat.

Zhang Manqian is clearly not satisfied with dominating the younger generation, nor does she care about the reputation of fighting beyond her rank. Instead, she wants to step into the Sixth Sequence, or even reach the Seventh Sequence or a higher level.

"The difference between you lies in the fact that your spiritual energy is not on the same level. One is the brilliance of the bright moon, and the other is the light of a grain of rice. This gap is difficult to bridge!"

Ultimately, it was the 'Wilderness' residing within the Soul Jade that provided Zhang Manqian with the answer.

"While they appear to be cultivating their Gene Sequence, they actually focus on spiritual cultivation as the mainstay, developing secondary branches as a result," Huang Dao said. "The threshold for achieving this level of cultivation is extremely high, making it incredibly difficult to imitate!"

"Do you mean you're suggesting I focus on the Mental Strengthening Chapter?" Zhang Manqian asked.

"It's not just you, it involves me too," Huang said.

"Can you still cultivate?" Zhang Manqian asked doubtfully.

"It wasn't possible before, but now there's a chance!"

Looking at the young yet mature emperor, Huang felt that he was the perfect role model he wanted to emulate.

The moment the Emperor stepped out of the distortion, 'Huang', who was guarding Zhang Manqian, sensed him.

The other party possessed a near-perfect physical body and was constantly being challenged and elevated by new knowledge.

'Huang' was very lonely. Suddenly seeing such a kindred spirit, he did find a little courage in his heart and wanted to step out of his comfort zone that he had been accustomed to for thousands of years, and then make a breakthrough in just a few decades.

The struggle failed, and everything turned to dust.

If he succeeds, he will no longer need to live a life of mere survival, and will be able to obtain what he truly desires.

Huang had a vague feeling that drastic changes in the world might occur within these decades.

Many people will be transformed if they keep up with the pace.

Once this opportunity is missed, it will be extremely difficult to repeat it later, and everything will be just as Zhang Manqian felt, with a gap that can never be bridged.
