Four Traveling Together

Some call intimidation-based fighting techniques invincible, as they can suppress almost all low-level fighting technique practitioners.

However, some people call intimidation-type fighting techniques the weakest among all fighting techniques. The reason for this is simple: intimidation-type fighting techniques can only be used against the weak. They are at the bottom of the same level and may even be challenged successfully by someone of a higher level.

If it weren't for the existence of the Mental Strengthening Chapter, it wouldn't be surprising if the Ren Household were challenged by people who surpassed their ranks.

However, the fact that the Luofu royal family meticulously researched and classified it as top secret, and that Master Ren abandoned the Imperial Sword to risk practicing it, suggests that this may very well be the right path to Gene Fighting Technique or even genetic immortality.

The greatest secret the Ren Household obtained from the Luofu royal family was not the secret medicine, but the Mental Strengthening technique that aided in the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique.

This was cultivation content kept under the noses of the major Lineage in Western Capital, and Ren Yisheng even shared it with certain people.

But even today, very few people persist in practicing spirituality.

The reason for this is simple: on the one hand, practicing the Mental Strengthening Chapter takes a lot of time and energy; on the other hand, practicing the Mental Strengthening Chapter does not provide much assistance to other Gene Fighting Technique.

Ren Anran watched Zhang Xuezhou release the Supreme Purity True Technique attention until Zhang Xuezhou glanced back at her, at which point she quickly withdrew from the perception.

"Professor Ren once mentioned that you are skilled in palmistry, physiognomy, and handwriting analysis?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"How?"

Ren Anran's eyes narrowed before she gave a questioning response.

"I'm very interested in this. Can I learn from you?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"The library has these kinds of books, but many people have read them, and very few have actually learned anything about this pseudo-psychology," Ren Anran said after a few seconds of thought. "I can only explain the relevant information; I can't guarantee you'll learn it. Just don't suspect me of holding anything back!"

"Even if I don't learn it, it's good for passing the time!"

Zhang Xuezhou forced a smile.

He was somewhat traumatized by Ren Anran's sudden confession and worried that too much contact with her would cause related memories of Ren Anran to resurface. However, Zhang Xuezhou could not tolerate Ren Anran's blatant spying.

He doesn't possess these spiritual perception abilities, but Zhang Xuezhou isn't dead. Having frequented the homes of various powerful figures, he's extremely sensitive to this kind of prying.

Zhang Xuezhou had to admit that among all the people, Ren Anran was the boldest and most unscrupulous; she practically lifted his clothes to get a closer look.

But Ren Anran is perhaps the most perceptive of all these people.

When Zhang Xuezhou received treatment from Ren Anran in the past, Ren was even able to estimate the approximate balance of his e-wallet.

If there was anyone who could be compared to Ren Anran, Zhang Xuezhou could only think of Hongku, who was skilled at scheming.

Rather than passively spying, Zhang Xuezhou obviously wouldn't just sit and wait for a response, so diverting Ren Anran's attention became inevitable.

He wouldn't choose leisurely chatter, but instead used extremely dry pseudo-psychological content for communication.

Something's not right!

Ren Wuyang was cleaning the living room, shook his blood-loss-laden body and watched Zhang Xuezhou and his sister sitting there having a serious discussion.

Ren Anran spoke casually, her content imaginative and unrestrained, while Zhang Xuezhou followed along step by step, even asking questions about parts he found difficult to understand.

Watching the two interact so harmoniously, Ren Wuyang felt a strange unease for some reason.

"It was the stark difference in my sister's attitude towards Brother Xuezhou that caused the disparity, but it wasn't enough to make me feel uneasy. Could it be that my blood loss is causing my mind to become tense? But half a bowl of blood shouldn't be a problem, especially since I just took iron supplements... It seems like Brother Xuezhou initiated the contact. He's been avoiding my sister, so why would he take the initiative?... Could it be that An Ran's senses were detected?"

On his first day back home, Ren Wuyang discovered that the operation had failed.

They handled the tasks assigned to them by Ren Yisheng terribly.

Judging from Zhang Xuezhou's current proactive and trouble-making manner, Ren Anran probably wouldn't be able to spare any attention to perceive Zhang Xuezhou.

In fact, Zhang Xuezhou never practiced cultivation at all, whether it was related to realm cultivation techniques, Technique Method, or Mental Strengthening Chapter.

This made it extremely difficult for Ren Anran to perceive Zhang Xuezhou and imitate his Zhang Xuezhou.

Since Zhang Xuezhou's focus in life was not on spiritual practice, no matter how long Ren Anran spent with him or how much effort she put in, Ren Anran would not be able to gain anything.

But Ren Wuyang couldn't directly tell Zhang Xuezhou, "My sister wants to come and see your cultivation, and try to simulate the most orthodox cultivation method." He couldn't even describe Ren Yisheng's vague guesses.

"Young man, you still need to cultivate yourself eventually. Let's spend some more time together and see!"

Ren Wuyang had no choice but to suppress his thoughts, and he lay on the sofa, exhausted from blood loss.

Ren Wuyang lacked the physical fitness from training, and he also lacked the energy to think. While he was resting in a daze, he heard a startled shout of "Whoa!" and only then did Ren Wuyang wake up.

"Who are you? Why are you in my house? Wait, this isn't my house, why am I in someone else's house?"

Zhang Weimeng, Zhang Weimeng emerged from his writing frenzy, exhibited symptoms of mental confusion to varying degrees; this could even be considered a post-writing syndrome.

"My dad..."

He has temporary amnesia!

Before Zhang Xuezhou could finish speaking, Ren Anran responded quietly.

As someone who suffers from amnesia, she knows Zhang Weimeng's symptoms all too well.

A doctor cannot heal himself, but Ren Anran still has some ability to treat those whose abilities are far inferior to hers.

A strange light appeared in her eyes, and her soft, almost murmured words made Zhang Weimeng stare blankly.

Several minutes later, Zhang Weimeng shook his head vigorously, as if he had come back to his senses.

"Son, how many days have I been writing this book?" Zhang Weimeng shook his head and said, "I've been practicing the Sunflower Manual and Mental Strengthening lately, and I feel like I'm getting into the creative cycle faster than before."

"The Sunflower Manual?"

Ren Wuyang was taken aback, realizing that a new technique had appeared.

Zhang Xuezhou was focused on Zhang Weimeng's current state, while Ren Wuyang was emphasizing the 'Sunflower Manual' that Zhang Weimeng had mentioned, and Ren Anran was slowly withdrawing her mental energy to comfort him.

"The fifth chapter of Mental Strengthening has this kind of ability?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.

"A mild dose of medicine can cure illness, while a strong dose can kill," Ren Anran replied. "This is a calming power developed from the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique; it doesn't belong to Mental Strengthening abilities."

"So that's how it is!"

Zhang Xuezhou slightly disappointed.

He thought Mental Strengthening was omnipotent, but he didn't expect Ren Anran to use an ability from the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique.

However, Zhang Weimeng and Song Fengying recently found a reliable doctor who can quickly restore their memories whenever they lose them, thanks to Ren Anran's magical combat techniques.

"I heard you've practiced a kind of intimidation-based fighting technique called Kunpeng," Ren Anran said, blinking. "If you want to incorporate additional mental abilities into your fighting technique, you can make a similar request to the Sequence Committee after achieving a high ranking at the Sequencer Conference."

"You can make any request?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"Yes," Ren Anran nodded.

"If you don't choose to adapt your training to the Three-Star Combat Technique already provided by the Sequence Committee, but instead want to modify and extend your existing fighting techniques, the champion group can make three requests, the runner-up group can make two requests, and the third-place group can make one. The requests not only limit the number of times you can make them, but excessive requests will also have limits to development," Ren Wuyang interjected. "For example, if you want to fly in the sky while practicing Crane Form Fist, such an excessive request, even if it's custom-made, it's normal if you can only fly three or five meters after several years of practice. After all, they only provide theoretical deductions, and whether you can actually do it depends on the individual."

"So that's how it is!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded, indicating that he understood the rules.

"Theory is not the same as practice," Ren Wuyang cautioned. "If you have the opportunity to create the Kunpeng Fighting Technique, be sure not to aim too high or too far, lest you achieve something theoretically possible but be unable to actually carry it out in practice."

"The main reason is that there are limitations to the genes in the human body, making it impossible to achieve the theoretical perfection of the gene chain," Ren Anran said, regaining her composure. "And the blood serum can only provide temporary enhancement. Once you start cultivating or using martial arts, it will cause depletion, which will inevitably be more harmful than beneficial."

"Some Lineage ' high-level members need to inject a blood serum after each battle," Ren Wuyang said. "The price of the blood serum is another matter, but this method of injection..."

"The price of blood serum is another matter. Any injection of blood serum above the Third Sequence costs tens of millions or even hundreds of millions," Ren Anran disagreed.

The brother and sister discussed it for a while, while Zhang Xuezhou and Zhang Weimeng watched and learned from their experience.

Even after the meal was over, the topic was still ongoing.

As night fell, Ren Anran once again entangled with Zhang Xuezhou, and the two fell into a discussion of pseudo-psychology, while Ren Wuyang set his sights on Zhang Weimeng.

"The Sunflower Manual, this is it!"

Seeing Ren Wuyang's keen interest in martial arts novels, Zhang Weimeng enthusiastically recommended his handwritten version of the Sunflower Manual.

"To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself? What does that mean?"

"This cultivation method easily induces agitation, leading to hallucinations of sexual intercourse. Therefore, cultivation seems to require a calm and tranquil mind, which necessitates a 'snap'..."

Zhang Weimeng made a chop gesture towards his lower body, which made Ren Wuyang gasp.

"So cruel, is this technique very powerful?" Ren Wuyang asked in a low voice.

"Number one in the world, isn't that amazing!"

Zhang Weimeng looked proud.

Ren Wuyang had just thought that it was better not to learn this technique, but Zhang Weimeng's serious expression made Ren Wuyang break down.

"If I could possess the greatest skill in the world, what would a single blow be? As long as it's properly preserved, it's not like I can't reattach it after I've mastered it!"

Since Zhang Weimeng had already practiced the Sunflower Manual, Ren Wuyang felt he could accept it.

After all, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't have been bad at teaching his own father.

He had found out the details and felt he had gained a great deal that night.

"The content is a bit obscure and hard to understand. What's this 'circulating qi' and 'voiding qi'? Shouldn't it be about directing Law Power to flow through acupoints? Oh well, it's all the same idea, and there are diagrams anyway..."

Looking at Zhang Weimeng's handwritten Sunflower Manual, Ren Wuyang quickly memorized its contents as he flipped through it.
