A Similar Person
"Former Committee Member Luo Tianming!"
Ning Que already possessed considerable talent, enabling him to successfully cultivate and enter the Realm Entry as depicted in novels. With the added influence of Luo Zhong, his innate advantages were almost at the top of the Scarlet Alliance State.
Zhang Xuezhou had never underestimated his opponent, especially now that Ning Que's strength had increased to the Seventh Sequence, giving him the ability to participate in actions and discussions.
He wasn't stingy either; with a try-it-out attitude, Zhang Xuezhou also invited Ning Que when he passed on his teachings to everyone.
Daojun cultivates the Golden Core Technique, which involves Technique Method and Realm Technique that are somewhat different. Ren Anran participated in the discussion the most, followed by Zhang Hao. The three of them translated the three flying knife techniques into a localized form.
Even Zhang Hao frowned when it came to cultivation, feeling that Daojun's abilities were difficult to replicate.
However, Zhang Xuezhou mentioned that Daojun's Innate Qi Technique involves top-tier mental attacks, which is an extremely rare mental ability and may even become a technique in a derivative field. This cannot be taken lightly by Zhang Hao and the others.
The discussion went nowhere, so Ning Que recommended someone who had been almost forgotten.
"Former Committee Member Luo can accurately control flying needles using his mental power. He can currently control a toothbrush to brush his teeth, wipe his face with a towel, and even successfully control the injection to change detoxification solutions!"
Ning Que spoke eloquently, mentioning Luo Tianming's flexible use of mental abilities.
Luo Tianming is the mastermind behind controlling Luo Zhong's head; he is driven by selfish motives and wants to extract Luo Zhong's secrets.
From Luo Zhong's and the royalists' perspective, people like Luo Tianming deserve to die.
From the perspective of young people in the new era, Luo Tianming is undoubtedly cruel and ruthless.
However, from the perspective of the Scarlet Alliance State, Luo Tianming's actions prevented Huang Daoxian from succeeding for decades and prevented the Scarlet Alliance State from becoming Huang Daoxian's home ground, thus making an irreplaceable contribution.
This is a person with extremely complex character, and he still maintains the treatment of a high-ranking Scarlet Alliance State, but few people contact him.
Even though Zhang Xuezhou once only lamented reincarnation and retribution, Luo Tianming ultimately lived out the life Luo Zhong had once lived.
He hadn't expected Luo Tianming to be so resilient, still seeking change and progress.
"I think we could invite former Committee Member Luo to discuss this; perhaps we can find a starting point," Ning Que said cautiously.
I'll visit him next month!
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
Luo Tianming is far inferior to Daojun, but Luo Tianming is the entry point for the localization of similar abilities.
Through continuous exploration and experimentation, and after a long period of cultivation, Zhang Xuezhou and others will surely be able to replicate some of the Daojun's Technique Method powers in the future. However, it is not their style to avoid taking shortcuts.
It would take far too long for Zhang Xuezhou to replicate Daojun's abilities. Even with a fragment of Daojun's flying knife, he mentioned that he would normally need fifty years of cultivation before he would be qualified to use it. If he were to enter the real world, the difficulties he would face would be even greater.
If a breakthrough can be found with Luo Tianming, cultivation may become simpler and more feasible, and may even be improved and adapted.
"Old Luo's ability to inflict torture and violence is unparalleled; he's the strongest among us old-timers!"
Zhu Bufan glanced at Luo Burang before interjecting with his assessment of Luo Tianming.
Despite his shortcomings, Luo Tianming is indeed very outstanding.
Because he was unable to reproduce, Luo Tianming went through a series of selection processes to choose his successor.
Whether it's Luo Hui, who has already gone mad and passed away, or Luo Burang, who is currently supporting the development of the Scarlet Alliance State's Gene Sequence, or even Luo Gaogao, who is constantly achieving good results in developing satellites and communications, every member of the Luo Household is extremely outstanding.
Having eliminated the worries of Lineage, Luo Tianming was already extremely focused and mostly single-minded.
After the civil war with Luo Hui, Luo Tianming's body and limbs were corroded and destroyed by heavy metal toxins, leaving only his head intact. It is highly likely that he entered a state of extreme monotony and focused concentration, making the most of his remaining physical abilities, and developing them to a certain extreme, which is more profound than that of others.
"Why would Luo Tianming be willing to see you?" Zhang Xuezhou asked, quite curiously.
"He probably investigated my background and learned about my performance in the Sequence Arena. He wanted to adopt me as his son and then invited me to go," Ning Que replied honestly.
"Have you recognized a godfather?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"I didn't admit it!"
"You're not admitting to something so good? It won't hurt you to admit it. I would have admitted it long ago!"
Having learned of the potential source of assistance, Zhang Xuezhou temporarily put aside his discussion of the Three Flying Knife Techniques. He relaxed and couldn't help but tease Ning Que repeatedly.
"I can't accept favors without having done anything right," Ning Que shook his head and said, "Besides, I sense he has suicidal intentions. If I recognize him as my godfather and he properly inherits some of his family's wealth, he might truly die without any lingering attachments!"
"It's not fun with just a head left; it gets really uncomfortable after a while!"
Zhang Xuezhou pondered for a moment and couldn't help but nod in agreement with Ning Que's guess.
Luo Tianming seeks longevity, but Luo Tianming would never seek longevity that leaves him with only a head.
Having witnessed Luo Zhong's living hell, Luo Tianming wouldn't consider repeating Luo Zhong's life if he didn't harbor any obsessions.
"I'll see if I can have a word with him when I get to Brampada, just in case he doesn't refuse to adopt Ning Que as his son and then find someone else instead. Ning Que resisted the temptation and didn't accept anyone, but if someone else does, Luo Tianming might really be gone!"
"It's very difficult for communications from the Aomeijia Alliance to reach China. Can you really dissuade Luo Tianming from committing suicide in just a few words?" Zhu Bufan asked doubtfully.
"It's about 50/50. We should give it a try," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If he can live a long life and participate in related research, I think that would be a good thing!"
"Heroes are not judged by their origins; if someone truly has ability, that's definitely a good thing!"
Zhang Hao nodded.
The more Zhang Hao got to know Zhang Xuezhou and the more he understood the country and community Zhang Xuezhou belonged to, the more incredible things he felt.
The Scarlet Alliance State still faces problems such as poverty and wealth, as well as class antagonism, but Zhang Hao feels that this may be his ideal world, a dream they have pursued in the past but have never realized.
This is not a small group of people banding together, but rather a process of standardization, adjustment, and development that has spread to all aspects and continues to extend downwards.
This is a kind of orderly norm. Even if the older generation dies, including people like Zhang Xuezhou, this order can be maintained and continued, and a younger generation can take over the baton and develop the industry.
Zhang Xuezhou and others were not merely cultivators; they established order, balanced cultivation resources, and guided the direction for the future.
The Gene Sequence took a sharp turn at the Seventh Sequence, causing what was originally an unsustainable development to take a completely different turn.
The most crucial point is that Zhang Xuezhou didn't just talk the talk; he actually paved the way forward.
Zhang Hao thought Zhang Xuezhou was incredibly perceptive, managing to discover that Lu Ya's throwing knife technique aligned with relevant developments, thus contributing to the Gene Sequence.
More importantly, Zhang Xuezhou was able to obtain Lu Ya's most secret skills, which means that the once arrogant Lu Ya may have been nearing the end of his life, thus allowing Zhang Xuezhou to obtain the right to inherit his skills, or there may be another possibility.
When Zhang Hao considered the possibility that Lu Ya would have no choice but to submit after his defeat, his heart skipped a beat, feeling that this possibility was too far-fetched.
"By the way, Lu Ya once shot Donghua with a knife. I don't know if Donghua dodged it, or if his body could withstand it. How do you feel about your original body...?"
"What? Lu Yazi stabbed me in the body?"
"Yes, he must have discovered that your body was being possessed, and that's when he drew his knife!"
"Then I might be finished!"
Zhang Hao whispered something.
Zhang Hao valued his own cultivation development, but he didn't value it to the same extent as he cultivated in Kunlun, since promoting cultivation in this world was too difficult.
His many desires were primarily to advance his cultivation, then seek entry into the Sinkhole No. 2, and finally to gain the ability to return his soul to Kunlun, thereby finding an opportunity to reclaim his physical body. His next best option was to keep the Empress away from Donghua, and his worst option was for the Empress to discover something amiss and be killed by Donghua, in which case he would seek to escape with the Empress's soul.
"My body can withstand Lu Ya's blade, but it's impossible for it to be completely unaffected. If Donghua hadn't used the Kunlun Formation to dodge, and had instead been accidentally struck by the blade, my physical body would inevitably wither and die in the long run!"
Zhang Hao was somewhat disheartened.
If his physical body deteriorates, his best plan will no longer be effective.
Of course, the bad news for the Emperor was much more favorable for Zhang Xuezhou.
If he weren't incapable, he would have loved to go directly to Western Kunlun to cause trouble for Donghua.
