Controlling the Division of Mental Power

"This situation is absolutely awful!"

Ren Yisheng rarely lost his temper.

However, the repeated malfunctions of the advanced medical technology at the Jishi Medical Center in the Academy District prompted him to convene a meeting with more than twenty key medical personnel to reprimand them.

"Dean, I was responsible for procuring the X432 body repair technology; there's no way there could be a problem!"

"The patient's condition is right before our eyes, the data is right before our eyes. If it's not a problem with X432, then where is the problem?"

The brief protest lasted only a few seconds.

In medicine, only the results serve as proof.

No matter how standardized the pharmaceutical procurement process is, and regardless of the doctor's moral character, the medical outcome will provide the most direct proof.

Good is good, and bad is bad; they have to accept the outcome.

"I truly have a clear conscience!"

Ren Yisheng stared intently at the purchasing director, his gaze almost piercing through the man's soul.

As a top-tier master of the Mind-based sequence, Ren Yisheng possesses unparalleled advantages in personnel replacement.

He can roughly distinguish who has ulterior motives, who is a parasite, who is diligent and ambitious, and who is worth cultivating, simply by constantly interacting with Ren Yisheng.

His ability to make such judgments cannot be 100% accurate, but it is sufficient for Ren Yisheng to manage the medical institution he belongs to.

Zhang Xuezhou's renewed medical problems are not a good thing, but from another perspective, Ren Yisheng turned it into a good thing.

Under his persistent pressure, several responsible persons had no choice but to accept personnel changes and begin to relinquish their power, which did not cause panic among the staff of Jishi Medical Center.

"Brother, I've never seen anyone want to sleep after breaking through to the fourth stage of Mental Strengthening. Did you really break through?"

Inside the other medical observation room, Ren Wuyang also found it difficult to understand Zhang Xuezhou's condition.

Not to mention the abundant energy brought by the X432 body repair technology, simply entering another level of mental state will bring boundless energy, and it is normal to not sleep for several days.

But Zhang Xuezhou dozed off after only a few words, which was not normal behavior at all.

"Breakthrough!!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head; the nap had restored his energy considerably.

The scenes he had witnessed earlier still lingered in Zhang Xuezhou's mind, leaving him with mixed feelings.

On the one hand, Zhang Xuezhou hoped that what he saw was true.

On the other hand, Zhang Xuezhou also sensed a sense of unreality.

This is almost like him seeing another world through the eyes of reality; his eyes couldn't possibly have that ability.

But his mental strength couldn't possibly be diminished by having a dream.

Zhang Xuezhou made numerous guesses, but still couldn't get the most accurate answer.

He could only calm down and wait for the possible verification in the future.

This scenario gave Zhang Xuezhou a glimmer of optimism, and he no longer felt as hopeless as before.

If Dong Zhongshu and the others could really pull him out of the flood, Zhang Xuezhou felt he might be able to survive, after all, he was a cultivator, not an ordinary person.

He not only possesses strong physical abilities, but he also has Technique Method skills.

"I must diligently cultivate the techniques to evade these spells!"

If there was any way Zhang Xuezhou could survive falling into the water, it was only by activating the Water Avoidance Technique with its 3,811 acupoints.

Compared to the theoretically highest possible number of 108,000 acupoints, the Water-Avoiding Technique doesn't open up that many acupoints, but this is likely to allow him to barely cling to life.

As long as Dong Zhongshu and the others are fast enough, and he hasn't drifted too far, Zhang Xuezhou felt he still had hope of being rescued.

For some, this is a method of avoidance that offers neither output nor control, but Zhang Xuezhou discovered that it is the most suitable technique for him to cultivate.

For him, everything he has done since his debut has been based on the premise of survival.

Only if his life is saved can he talk about anything else.

The same applies in the real world. No matter how high one's level of Gene Fighting Technique is, or what sequence one belongs to, being deliberately targeted will inevitably restrict one's abilities.

Compared to all sorts of confrontations, Zhang Xuezhou believed that survival techniques could cope with countless changes.

He responded to Ren Wuyang verbally, but his mind was already pondering many questions.

"The fifth layer of spiritual power brings a control effect. You can try it if you want; it will work once you try it," Ren Wuyang recommended.

He's already tried!

Ren Anran, who was accompanying him, kept a close eye on Zhang Xuezhou's face.

Zhang Xuezhou's face had previously been ashen and filled with despair, but then returned to a calm and serene state of mind, free from distractions.

But she had just sensed a glimmer of hope and a small joy in Zhang Xuezhou's heart.

While answering Ren Wuyang's question, Zhang Xuezhou was clearly distracted by other thoughts, which went unnoticed even by a Sequencer of Ren Wuyang's caliber.

This represents a differentiation in spiritual strength, and also signifies that Zhang Xuezhou has reached a higher level.

When her eyes met Zhang Xuezhou's, Ren Anran trembled slightly, as if Zhang Xuezhou had also sensed her inner world, which made her lower her head slightly.

"You tried it on my sister?" Ren Wuyang asked in surprise.

"My Kunpeng Fighting Technique currently only has intimidation power, and its level is too low to be suitable for demonstration," Zhang Xuezhou said, regaining his composure. "I haven't even tried it on your sister."

"Come on, give me a go, as long as you can distinguish the strikes... Ouch!"

The stinging pain of falling into the fiery abyss came instantly, and Ren Wuyang couldn't help but cry out. A chill ran through his body, and the counterattack of the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique was about to be triggered and collide almost instantly.

When Ren Wuyang Ren Wuyang managed to stop the Gene Fighting Technique and shake off its effects by relying on his mental strength, a hint of lingering fear appeared in his eyes.

"I'm really annoyed by people with strong mental fortitude; this is practically an underdog's way of defying the powerful!"

Ren Wuyang muttered to himself, feeling envious, and then took a tissue to wipe the blood from below his nostrils.

The Dragon Elephant Combat Technique has always been used to suppress those of a lower rank, but when it encountered someone like Zhang Xuezhou, whose Gene Fighting Technique were just beginning, the opponent was using his powerful mental strength to forcefully enhance the power of the fighting technique.

Based on the current gene sequence order, Zhang Xuezhou possesses the ability to disrupt the rules.

The opponent is a sequencer in Gene Fighting Technique, but their strength far exceeds that of a sequencer.

Ren Wuyang knew very well that those sequencers would inevitably be crushed, and that he could withstand the impact.

If Zhang Xuezhou were to attend the sequencing conference, he would practically be guaranteed a top-ranking position. Barring any remote targeting, Zhang Xuezhou's chances of winning would indeed be very high.

"The realm technique of the Sunflower Manual brings control over the technique, which seems to have a slight benefit to Gene Fighting Technique as well. When you win and propose to the organizing committee to develop fighting techniques, you should focus on control," Ren Anran said.

"Huh?"

"If you have a better technique for achieving higher realms, then disregard what I said!"

Ren Anran blinked.

She rarely exhibited this uncertainty when talking to people her own age, but she had to admit that the boy she had firmly grasped three years ago now possessed a mental strength equal to hers.

Furthermore, because the other party's cultivation level was higher, their spiritual power was even more profound.

If they were to fight each other, Ren Anran was quite certain that the two would be evenly matched at the beginning, but she would inevitably run out of steam after a long time.

This greatly increased her interest in Zhang Xuezhou.

"You seem to know a lot about boundary techniques?"

Ren Anran's advice was very accurate.

To Zhang Xuezhou's surprise, Ren Anran actually discerned the nature of the Yin Yang Great Compassion Nine Heavens Incantation and even sensed a possible connection.

However, the opponent's Law Power was so weak that it was like a small flame that could be extinguished by a gust of wind.

Such judgment should not be found in a cultivator who has just Realm Entry of cultivation.

If this judgment wasn't made by Ren Anran spying on him, then the other party likely possesses an extremely keen perception of realm techniques.

Such people may not be geniuses in cultivating realm techniques, but with continuous development, they may acquire the ability to deduce, research, and even perfect techniques.

A genius in cultivation can at most become a master of a certain era, while the latter has the potential to leave their mark on the cultivation system.

For the first time, Zhang Xuezhou looked Ren Anran in the eye with complete honesty.

The path of cultivation is long and arduous, and he certainly hopes he won't be walking it alone.

Ren Yisheng's words are very accurate. It is impossible for a person to be good at everything, especially since Zhang Xuezhou is in various complex situations and lacks the possibility of calmly conducting research.

If one wants to move forward with great strides, or to have more possibilities in the future, Zhang Xuezhou believes that a qualified companion is invaluable.
