Setbacks and direction
"Zhao Tianhua's path is difficult!"
Having ensured Zhao Tianhua's survival, Zhang Xuezhou located Luo Burang, who was undergoing intensive nutritional supplementation at the A6 Research Institute.
Zhang Xuezhou boasted that his body could resist drugs, but after examining Zhao Tianhua's physical condition, he had no confidence in following Zhao Tianhua's path.
For Zhang Xuezhou, this approach to promoting the Seventh Sequence was too risky, and the potential consequences were obvious.
He had some alternatives, such as creating a cultivation environment and using the "Entwining Dragon and Circling Pillar True Fire Refining Golden Body" to temper his body, thereby reducing the negative effects, but overall it was still not worth the effort.
"We can only try a compromise: using high-quality beast extract to neutralize the reaction," Luo Burang whispered. "Zhao Tianhua's body can withstand this kind of modification, but if I were to repeat it like this, I would surely die!"
"The risk is indeed very high," Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
"The first plan wasn't entirely without merit," Luo Burang said. "It at least proves that gene splicing is feasible, and that our bodies aren't incapable of undergoing segmented modification. Unfortunately, our bodies can't withstand the impact of the modification process. If Zhao Tianhua's body were stronger, perhaps we could arrive at a different conclusion!"
"I heard from Lao Zhao that you referenced the tenth sequence morphology in Gene Sequence theory in order to extend the potential of this plan!"
"A single beast extract can never achieve the best of all things; only a comprehensive gene extract can possess multiple beast transformations, thereby achieving the desired changes. I did indeed consult some sources!"
"If Lao Zhao can recover, he'll be considered half a triple- Sequence Holder!"
Zhang Xuezhou chuckled.
If we compare Gene Sequence to internal and external martial arts, Luo's refusal to leave represents external martial arts based on external conditions, while the control and domain promoted by Zhang Xuezhou and others are more like internal martial arts.
In the future, those with external powers will be able to fly, run, and swim, with virtually no defects in their bodies.
Internal strength refers to the ability to form one's own domain within a certain range, thereby achieving group control within that domain.
It's impossible to say which one is better, but Zhang Xuezhou felt it necessary to explain or demonstrate the power of control to Luo Burang, which also required a certain understanding of the field.
This explanation will not change the course of the experiment, but it will broaden Luo Burang's horizons.
Perhaps at some point, Luo Burang might come up with a solution to the problem.
More importantly, Luo Burang needs encouragement.
This was probably the first major failure since Luo Burang took the lead in scientific research. Even the usually proud and arrogant Luo Burang felt frustrated and could only pin his hopes on the changes brought about by Zhang Xuezhou and others hunting high-level ferocious beasts.
"The control you mentioned seems to be Luo Zhong's concept of life magnetism. He believes that the stronger a person's spiritual power, the more magnetic field the individual will generate. This magnetic field can produce enormous power, and if it expands to a sufficient intensity, it will form a life magnetic field, thereby influencing a certain area!"
Luo Burang didn't seem to need to delve into a difficult concept like a novice; he even mentioned Luo Zhong from the past.
Luo Zhong still holds a significant place in Zhang Xuezhou's heart; the other party is exceptionally outstanding in both mental strength and physical abilities.
But without realizing it, Zhang Xuezhou discovered that he had surpassed Luo Zhong in the past.
Whether it was the blow he delivered with the Spirit Wood Staff or his ability to replicate the body of the High Ancestor Emperor, both were no less powerful than Luo Zhong's performance back then.
Luo Zhong was probably stuck at Zhang Xuezhou's current level, only he didn't have as many tricks up his sleeve and lacked a strong physique.
Luo Burang had come into contact with Luo Zhong, and was even almost possessed by Luo Zhong. This not only gave Luo Burang a powerful mental strength, but also left some memories in Luo Burang's mind.
These memories are not usually apparent, but they are awakened from the depths of the mind when stimulated by related content.
"Luo Zhong's ideas are very advanced," Zhang Xuezhou said.
Even if Luo Zhong were placed in the contemporary era, he would still be a pioneering master whose achievements would inevitably surpass those of Ren Yisheng, and might even have given rise to the life magnetic field in his philosophy.
Fifty years ago, Luo Zhong's ideas were almost universally accepted.
As an emperor who once stood at the pinnacle of the world, Luo Zhong's ideas were ahead of their time, and Zhang Xuezhou and others still haven't even surpassed his level.
"He spearheaded the Heavenly God General Project, which aimed to increase spiritual power, but it encountered repeated failures in pushing human experiments, and he was the only one who survived," Luo Burang said. "This was an accident that led to the collapse of the Luofu Empire, and I..."
Luo Burang's fingers trembled slightly as he rested in the medical device.
He seems to be repeating Luo Zhong's failure.
His extraordinary talent was inherited from Luo Zhong; in reality, he could only be considered a replica of Luo Zhong.
Luo Burang, who has never experienced failure, does not have a fearful mindset, but when he encounters similar major scientific research failures, the sense of frustration from the depths of his memory will resurface.
Even though he appeared calm and composed in public, Zhang Xuezhou still noticed his true feelings.
"Luo Zhong very arrogant. Everything revolves around him. He's always been alone," Zhang Xuezhou said in a deep voice. "You're different. We have two teams in the research institute. Zhou Yueyan's team is also involved in research on catalysts and other aspects. We also have external expansion capabilities, and we've even discovered several types of fire meteor creatures. Our understanding of technology and the world far surpasses what we've seen before!"
"Fire Meteor... Fire Meteor, I remember there was a Fire Meteor creature's remains in the Thousand Islands Alliance!"
Zhang Xuezhou's encouragement greatly reduced Luo Burang's sense of defeat. He pondered for a few seconds, then looked at Zhang Xuezhou.
"Qin Meng's ferocious beasts are a genetically mutated subspecies. I want to study these self-proclaimed superior fire meteor beings," Luo Burang said.
"This is easy to discuss, Li Yingbo can definitely handle it!"
"The power of these advanced beings shouldn't be grafted on, but rather inherent in their bodies. If we can unravel the mysteries of their Gene Power, perhaps we'll have a chance to uncover the reaction equations for the human body's derived resistance layer!"
A glimmer of light reappeared in Luo Burang's eyes.
Lacking the corresponding gene Sequence Holder, the Thousand Islands Alliance could not use the blood serum or extracts of the Fire Meteor creatures, and the remains and related materials of past Fire Meteor creatures would be relatively well preserved.
Luo Burang used extracts from non-corresponding ferocious beasts to stimulate the formation of a resistance layer in Zhao Tianhua's body, making him a pioneer in this field. He is also interested in exploring new research directions.
"I heard you beat up Steel Hao and Clark in Brampada. Are you even stronger than Zhao Tianhua?"
Luo Burang lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds before raising his head to ask Zhang Xuezhou.
This made Zhang Xuezhou laugh several times.
He's not like Zhao Tianhua, who's stuck in the Seventh Sequence. If you want him to test a new drug, there have to be at least a few successful cases before he's willing to push his body to try it.
It must be said that Zhang Xuezhou is good at recommending others to be the top leader, but he himself is not good at it.
"You know I also need to transport food supplies to Professor Ren and the others, so it's not suitable for me to participate in related experiments right now. If you have such needs, you can contact Zhou Yueyan; she's very strong!"
He was also the type to sacrifice his friends rather than himself, so he quickly recommended a second-in-command to Luo Burang.
Whether Luo Burang can persuade Zhou Yueyan to cooperate is another matter entirely.
