"Isn't this One-Finger Divine Supreme Purity True Technique?"

Ren Wuyang saw two cultivation manuals at Zhang Weimeng's place.

One book is the "Sunflower Manual," and the other is the "One-Finger Divine Skill."

He was somewhat unfamiliar with the former, but undoubtedly very familiar with the latter.

When he was at the Ren Household villa, Zhang Xuezhou taught him the first level of the Supreme Purity True Technique, and he is currently practicing it.

Ren Wuyang flipped through the "One Finger Divine Skill" manual and saw that in addition to the first level, there was a progressive second level and a third level that truly exerted its effect.

This made him gasp, completely unexpected that Zhang Xuezhou had casually given these important documents to Zhang Weimeng.

He didn't have a photographic memory, but as long as he slowly turned the pages and read through, Ren Wuyang was still able to memorize a lot of the content.

After chatting idly with Zhang Weimeng for an hour, Ren Wuyang finally stepped out of the room with a happy expression.

"Old man, I've got a great find today! Quickly get me a temporary phone number so I can organize the information and send it over for you to see!"

Ren Wuyang returned to his room and quickly dialed the number of the Academy District Medical Center. When Ren Yisheng answered, he couldn't help but share the good news.

"What contact number? What do you mean by 'tidy up'? Can't you just drive over and deliver it?" Ren Yisheng said.

"You really want to keep up with the times? Never mind, I'll drive over in a bit!"

Ren Wuyang quickly gave up the idea of persuading Ren Yisheng.

He put down the communicator, rummaged through the contents of his memory, and then quickly began to write.

What Zhang Weimeng's secret manual looked like was exactly what he was holding.

People with high levels of mental maturity do indeed have an advantage over ordinary people.

After an hour of sketching, Ren Wuyang quickly packed up his drafts and then left Xuanshi Building, heading straight for the Academy District Medical Center.

"It seems Brother Wuyang went out for a late-night snack!"

Zhang Xuezhou was still awake in the room.

Through the crack in the door, Zhang Xuezhou looked at Ren Anran, who was still sitting opposite him, and reminded her that it was time for her to go back to her room.

"I don't like eating late-night snacks," Ren Anran shook her head and said, "Eating too many late-night snacks can easily lead to bodily dysfunction."

"That's right," Zhang Xuezhou nodded. "I don't have the habit of eating late-night snacks either!"

"Good habits must be maintained," Ren Anran said. "Anything good is the result of perseverance!"

"We must persevere! Let's continue our discussion of physiognomy!"

Looking at Ren Anran across from him, Zhang Xuezhou found it difficult to remain calm.

He felt that Ren Anran seemed to see right through him.

When Ren Yisheng uses his spiritual senses to investigate, he does not observe for long periods of time, but only for tens of seconds or even a few seconds. However, Ren Anran's perception has lasted for several hours.

This includes both afternoon and evening hours.

This mental perception lasted for an extremely abnormal duration, much like Zhang Xuezhou continuously casting spells for several hours.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that Ren Anran was acting very strangely. Just thinking about Ren Anran's previous confession made Zhang Xuezhou feel a little panicked.

He wasn't ready for this yet, and if possible, he hoped Ren Anran wouldn't regain those memories.

Seeing Ren Anran's extremely determined gaze, Zhang Xuezhou's eyes darted around for a moment before he started talking about 'physiognomy' again.

"Alright then, let's continue our discussion on physiognomy!"

Ren Anran nodded.

She had been trying to steer the conversation toward cultivation, but Zhang Xuezhou kept interrupting her when she was about to start, forcing her to give in.

If she possessed a lot of mental calculation skills, then Zhang Xuezhou was all about timing and execution.

The other party seems to be extremely adept at taking the initiative, and this control is particularly evident in equal interactions.

What experiences honed your communication skills?

Zhang Xuezhou's abilities are not special, but it would take considerable experience to acquire them, which is an ability that a second-year university student should not possess.

Even Ren Anran was led by the nose.

This is exactly the same as two years ago when she held the power of discourse and led Zhang Xuezhou around, except that now everything has been reversed.

"We will begin discussing the twenty-second type of bone structure, known as the 'Suspended Drum Bone.' People with this bone structure have prominent, round, and large foreheads. If they also have a square and large nose, they are destined for high official rank..."

Ren Anran spoke eloquently.

As she spoke, she kept glancing at Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou, who listened attentively and occasionally responded.

"He's completely focused, without any distractions, genuinely learning physiognomy from me!"

Whether Zhang Xuezhou listened attentively or thought seriously could be seen from their interaction; it didn't require her to use much mental strength to perceive it.

Aside from Ren Wuyang's departure causing Zhang Xuezhou to lose focus somewhat, Zhang Xuezhou's performance during his studies was impeccable.

The other person was like a learning machine, constantly understanding and memorizing what she said.

If she talked for three to five days, Ren Anran felt she would have revealed all her tricks of pseudo-psychology.

This caused her some liver pain.

However, Ren Anran also sensed a very peculiar emotion in Zhang Xuezhou during their continued interactions.

The other person seemed afraid of her.

"Why are they afraid of me? Did I use the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique on them before? But I only recently entered Chapter 5 of the Mental Strengthening Chapter, and I haven't scared many people in that time, except for that trash Wang Li... Wait, when did I acquire the abilities of Chapter 5 of the Mental Strengthening Chapter? I seem to..."

Just as one's hands and feet are used naturally as long as they are on the body, Ren Anran also uses her strength naturally whenever she thinks of it.

When she recalled the relevant content, she realized that she was missing a part when she broke through to the fifth chapter of the Mental Strengthening Chapter.

"I remember Zhang Xuezhou went to help with the pain relief, but Wang Jiangtao came, and then I got another injection. At that time... there was a voice telling me to bite Wang Jiangtao's ear... and then, I can't remember anything else!"

Ren Anran's memory came to an abrupt end.

She will forget meaningless memories of life, and she will also forget some recent events due to brain stimulation.

But Ren Anran was certain that she must have done something outrageous that caused Zhang Xuezhou to feel afraid of her.

"Did I go too far by unleashing the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique on him several times in a row? Oh well, I'll try to be a good person and not give him any more badwill. Wait, why did I suddenly lie down?"

Ren Anran continued to speak, while Zhang Xuezhou kept asking questions.

But as if he had suddenly lost consciousness, Zhang Xuezhou was asking a question one second, and the next second he had closed his eyes and collapsed onto the bed.

"Is it time to drift off to sleep again?"

Ren Anran looked at Zhang Xuezhou, who was lying motionless on his side on the bed.

She remembered seeing Zhang Xuezhou asleep when she was in the hospital ward; he was lying in bed then, not acting as outrageously as he is now.

Given Zhang Xuezhou's condition, if the other party had a knife stuck in his back, there's a high probability he'd collapse immediately.

"This is even more outrageous than my forgetfulness?"

Ren Anran pulled open Zhang Xuezhou's eyelids and saw two completely dull eyes beneath them.

She stared intently at his eyes for a few seconds.

In the dim light, Ren Anran seemed to see a glimmer of fire and faint murmurs.

"As long as the void remains, I shall endure forever!"

"Those who believe in me will have eternal life!"

The language was unfamiliar, but what the other person said was clear to her.

The low murmurs finally became clear, and when Ren Anran was startled, she felt her mental energy being continuously drained away.

Like a vast ocean, Ren Anran felt all her spiritual power being poured into Zhang Xuezhou's eyes.

Before she could forcibly control her mind, Ren Anran felt as if she had bumped into a golden light.

A strange voice rang out, "How outrageous! Can't I even borrow a path to help you?" Ren Anran felt as if her head had been struck by a heavy hammer.

Her proudest achievement, Chapter Five of the Mental Strengthening Chapter, saw her mental power suddenly shatter like a small boat encountering a storm.

Amidst the raging waves, Ren Anran didn't know how long she had been adrift.

Ren Anran was only jolted awake by the incessant beeping of the communicator at her waist.

She glanced around and realized she was already standing in front of the living room window. It was brightly lit outside, and a whole night had passed in the short time it had taken.
