The Fusion of the Fleshly Body

An Ran, how do you feel about Xuezhou's condition?

"Perfect!"

In the control room, Luo Burang was still somewhat uneasy, and kept glancing at Zhang Xuezhou inside the tank while observing the data.

He asked Ren Anran, Ren Anran's answer was very simple, yet it was filled with extreme trust and affirmation.

"It's absolutely perfect!"

According to the instruments, Zhang Xuezhou's data was impeccable, and everything was within the safe range determined by Luo Burang.

But Luo Burang felt a vague sense of unease.

"You'll understand when you're able to enter the sinkhole," Ren Anran explained. "Xuezhou's physical tempering intensity is extremely high. He's been nurtured by Spiritual Qi energy, and his physical potential is at its peak. Entering the Seventh Sequence is as easy as eating and drinking for him. The danger of the physical transformation he seeks should be within a reasonable range!"

Ren Anran knew Zhang Xuezhou all too well.

Zhang Xuezhou would never attempt something if he wasn't absolutely certain of its success.

Zhang Xuezhou, on the other hand, is the type to avoid danger and will stop whenever he senses impending peril.

She wasn't worried that Zhang Xuezhou might suddenly risk his life and die.

Zhang Xuezhou did not die at the hands of Wang Jiangtao, nor at the hands of Song Xianzhong, nor at the hands of ferocious beasts. He also defeated Donghua and gained his freedom. Having experienced so much, it would be a joke if Zhang Xuezhou were to die suddenly due to his cultivation.

Ren Anran was not worried about Zhang Xuezhou's condition. She believed that Zhang Xuezhou could control himself and that even if there was danger, it would at most be a close call.

She remained remarkably calm, even observing Zhang Xuezhou's condition with extreme care and attention, in order to seek any possible assistance.

Unlike Grean and the others, Zhang Xuezhou's body inside the jar emitted a faint white light.

This means that when Zhang Xuezhou's body develops a resistance layer, his physical body techniques also activate.

"Unfortunately, the methods of evasion are too complicated!"

Any complex task can be mastered through practice, Ren Anran believed that the longer she practiced, the less difficult the evasion techniques would become for her.

However, the limited time meant that she could not master techniques such as physical body manipulation and could only learn the initial stages.

Zhang Xuezhou created a quick fix for physical body techniques, but Ren Anran could only dabble in it and could not continuously climb to the top like Zhang Xuezhou.

"The art of evasion has its uses, but it is ultimately fragmented, which leads to many drawbacks. It is only suitable for specific situations and specific applications," Zhang Hao said.

"Dispersion can lead to unification!"

"Disaster!"

Zhang Hao waved his hand.

The art of avoidance works like a magnet, repelling and eroding through repulsion.

It's practically a pipe dream to think that so many opposing forces could be integrated together.

Zhang Hao has mastered the art of evasion, each technique refined over a long period, resulting in extremely high evasion power. However, he is also bound by the independence of his evasion techniques.

They all seem to belong to the category of evasion techniques, but each evasion technique has its own characteristics.

While it's theoretically possible to combine evasion techniques, it's like trying to combine nine different sword techniques—the difficulty is simply too high.

"Finding this unified node is difficult," Zhang Hao explained. "He wanted to rely on the resistance layer to become a transit point, but I feel the resistance layer is insufficient!"

The body has a very strong resistance layer. Zhang Hao studied this ability of the body to withstand blows. He must say that the effect of this human-beast transformation is very unique. A simple drug impact gives him the physical body of a great Lightning Tribulation.

More importantly, the resistance layer can Divine Sense and guide the body to have all-round protection without any blind spots. This kind of all-round protection is something that the physical body of a great demon lacks.

Taking the Seventh Sequence resistance layer as an example, the Emperor felt that the resistance layer surpassed the capabilities of many evasion techniques.

Most importantly, the resistance layer is easy to form; promoting the formation of the physical resistance layer is much simpler than cultivating avoidance techniques.

However, it is virtually impossible to transform the resistance layer into the foundation of evasion techniques, thereby enabling numerous evasion techniques to be readily available.

"What about adding physical body techniques?" Ren Anran asked.

"Not enough," Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "The Body Technique is a technique that unlocks the body's resistance to attacks. This technique is not an evasion technique; it consumes a lot of cultivation resources, and the difficulty increases as you progress in cultivation. It's purely a technique that tortures the physical body, and only ascetic cultivators can possibly master it!"

The cultivation of physical body techniques is extremely difficult; it is common for people to spend their entire lives in arduous training without achieving success.

This technique is very similar to the Eight-Nine Mystical Art. The difference is that one requires a lifetime of practice, while the other results in physical paralysis, a walking corpse, and a swift death. Neither is considered a normal or good cultivation technique.

Two cultivators have turned the theory of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art into reality, while no one has yet reached the pinnacle of the Body Techniques; no one has mastered the theoretical limit of the 108,000 acupoints.

Zhang Xuezhou is clearly far from his limit. The Emperor felt that Zhang Xuezhou's physical skills were just for fun, and that this level was far from sufficient.

"Xuezhou's body is growing, almost one millimeter per second, and the rate of his growth has accelerated!"

Luo Burang's deep voice broke the private conversation among the group.

"How much of my brother's body's resistance level is left?" Zhang Manqian asked after a long silence.

"Around 45%. To be on the safe side, I've already added the medication a second time!"

"Nearly half left!"

Zhang Manqian gritted her teeth, a hint of worry creeping into her eyes.

"Don't worry, Xuezhou's physical growth is benign," Ren Anran said. "He didn't grow any mutated parts like Zhao Tianhua!"

"That's true!"

Luo Burang nodded.

Zhang Xuezhou's body inside the tank is growing, having increased by ten centimeters compared to his normal state, and this growth rate is continuous and even accelerating.

However, Zhang Xuezhou did not develop any tumors or mutated limbs; his body remained perfectly healthy.

"Pay close attention to the gene-based medicine inside the container and ensure that there is enough medicine in the container," Ren Anran instructed.

"I've prepared five doses of the medicine for a normal person for Xuezhou. We can prepare and administer it as needed," Luo Burang nodded. "There's no need to worry about that!"

Zhou Xin possessed a powerful physical body, and the Changkong Luo of beast extracts he consumed when entering the Seventh Sequence was nearly ten times greater than that of Zhang Xuezhou. Zhang Xuezhou, on the other hand, not only had a powerful physical body, but also possessed weak genes, with his gene types being chaotic and disordered. Luo Burang had made ample preparations for this, and even left a plan for subsequent configuration, ready to fully support him should any needs arise.

His assurance relieved Ren Anran.

Inside the tank, Zhang Xuezhou's height had exceeded two meters, and his body had become correspondingly robust.

The three-meter-high solution tank looked rather small, and its capacity seemed insufficient.

Rays of light floated across his body, as if testing him back and forth.

Zhang Xuezhou's face remained calm, seemingly without any concern for his own Seventh Sequence; instead, he was constantly trying different ways to combine them.

After a long while, as his body became increasingly bloated inside the jar, Zhang Xuezhou began to recite.

"The Art of Unity of Celestial Person and Heaven!"

Ren Yisheng whispered.

No one achieves success overnight, and Zhang Xuezhou was clearly trying various methods.

This is something that pioneers often do: if they can't rely on luck to succeed occasionally, they can only rely on the tedious method of trying one thing at a time.

As Ren Yisheng's gaze swept towards the ceiling of the research institute, he saw a faint light fall down, and Zhang Xuezhou's body became soft and fluid, expanding and contracting repeatedly.

"Is this about cultivating the Eight-Nine Mystical Art?"

Zhang Hao frowned.

However, he soon discovered that Zhang Xuezhou's condition was different from that of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art.
