The Time Discrepancy of the Sequencer Grand Gathering
"So, it seems even less likely that the professor can escape trouble?"
The proposal from the Allied Sequence Committee is beneficial to many, but it does little to help the Ren Household.
Ren Yisheng did not meet the requirement of being ninety years old, but the fight between Ren Yisheng and Chang Kongluo was the fuse. Chang Kongluo was already imprisoned, so there was no way to release Ren Yisheng.
Listening to Ren Anran and Ren Wuyang's accounts, and combining what he had heard with what he had heard himself, Zhang Xuezhou finally concluded that Ren Yisheng was going to be very difficult.
"It's still better than the previous result!"
Ren Anran's face also showed unconcealed frustration.
However, compared to only punishing Ren Yisheng, extending the punishment to include those who have fallen into the water, and even considering that a large number of elderly individuals will eventually end up in their twilight years, is not too difficult to accept.
"Fortunately, our mental illnesses don't lead to random fighting," Ren Wuyang fear.
"This is merely a drawback of the Mental Strengthening Chapter," Ren Anran said. "We lack effective control over these latent emotions..."
Ren Anran murmured.
As if remembering something, she kept muttering to herself, following Zhang Xuezhou, the bodyguard, with a blank expression.
"If we could obtain the Yin Yang Great Compassion Nine Heavens Incantation and the Yin Yang Great Joy Nine People Incantation, it might give us a chance to increase our control over ourselves!"
Ren Anran didn't come to her senses until the car she was in started moving.
She would undoubtedly grasp at any straw, even if it was just a possibility.
This not only concerns Ren Yisheng, but also them, and even many other people.
"The Realm Technique enhances one's self-control?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously, "Is there any theoretical basis for this?"
"It's always better to try than not to try," Ren Anran said. "After all, there's no harm in practicing!"
"These two realm techniques are troublesome!"
If it weren't for the difficulty in finding a replacement, Zhang Xuezhou would have already switched to another realm technique.
Seeing Ren Anran clutching at him like a lifeline, he had no choice but to agree to the terms.
"If we're talking about mental illness, your symptoms are the safest, brother!"
After Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran finished speaking, Ren Wuyang sullenly tried to strike up a conversation.
He felt that there was no one in the world who made him feel safer than Zhang Xuezhou.
No one would be worried about having someone like Zhang Xuezhou who sometimes sleeps for days on end.
Even though Zhang Xuezhou is in his twilight years and still possesses remarkable abilities, Ren Wuyang believes that everyone feels the same way.
"Hi!"
Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand dismissively.
However, Ren Anran's reminder did give Zhang Xuezhou a slight idea.
If the Yin Yang Great Compassion Nine Heavens Incantation possesses mental control abilities, it might be quite useful in helping him resist the possession of extraterrestrial demons.
Ren Anran's speculation was that she wanted to control her hidden emotions, but Zhang Xuezhou associated it with something else entirely.
He ultimately felt that his continuous and in-depth study of the Yin-Yang School's traditions was worthwhile.
With many lingering resentments put aside, Zhang Xuezhou felt a little more at ease.
"Dad's trapped now, and I need to take over a lot of administrative matters!"
"I will be taking over some of the work at Jishi Group!"
With some things settled down, Ren Anran and Ren Wuyang also began to discuss the changes that needed to be made in the absence of Ren Yisheng.
"By the way, bro, you still have eleven months until the competition. Make sure you don't miss the deadline," Ren Wuyang reminded him. "My dad used to calculate your lucidity period and wanted to use some factors to postpone the sequencing conference, but now he's stuck, and we don't have that kind of say. We can't interfere with the sequencing conference anymore!"
"Was I still sleeping after the sequencing conference started?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise.
"You've never had this habit of sleeping seven days straight before; you had no problem competing back then," Ren Wuyang said. "But given your current situation, you'll likely sleep for at least two days during the competition."
"I'm going to sleep for two out of three days of competition?"
Upon hearing Ren Wuyang's announcement of the date for the sequencing conference, Zhang Xuezhou felt completely disoriented.
He didn't know when the chaos caused by the clash between the Emperor and the extraterrestrial demons would be resolved, but his accuracy in terms of time was clearly unreliable.
If the seven-day interval is reduced to six days, it might cause him to miss the competition at the sequencing conference.
If the interval is changed to five days...
Zhang Xuezhou pondered this in his mind, then compared it with the competition dates, which made him even more upset.
If the travel time cannot be restored to a state of one or two days, he will face the risk of being eliminated.
"I'll look into this!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
He took the communicator and began sending the relevant information to Zhang Manqian's contact number.
"You mean you need me to lead the team through the qualifiers and make it to the top 128, the top 64, or even the top 32?"
The communication received a prompt response.
"Perhaps you'll be the one to play in the round of 16," Zhang Xuezhou replied.
"I feel like it's over," Zhang Manqian replied. "My Tiger and Crane Dual Forms can't handle this kind of competition!"
The original strategy was two tigers leading three sheep, but now it's Zhang Manqian leading Song Fengying, Zhang Weimeng, and Wang Li to compete, which looks more like a casual game now.
Having witnessed Zhang Xuezhou's marksmanship, if Zhang Xuezhou manages to find a gun in a round, it undoubtedly means the game is over.
But Zhang Xuezhou was unable to participate, and Zhang Manqian felt things were going to be difficult.
"My marksmanship isn't due to talent, but rather the near-absolute lock-on ability within a hundred meters granted by the True Spirit Realm. I'm guaranteed to hit my target even with blind firing," Zhang Xuezhou suggested. "Why don't you try and see if you can reach the True Spirit Realm?"
For Zhang Manqian, the focus of her training remains on Gene Fighting Technique.
However, if she needs the ability to shoot with 100% accuracy, Zhang Manqian needs to enter the True Spirit Realm.
When Gene Fighting Technique proved insufficient to decisively defeat the enemy, Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to pin his hopes on marksmanship.
The fifth-rank Crane Form Fist and Tiger Form Fist, when combined, are no match for four hands with two fists, but spear skills are a possibility.
With Zhang Manqian's agility combined with her marksmanship, Zhang Xuezhou believed that once she entered the True Spirit Realm, Zhang Manqian would achieve an unparalleled level of strength at the Sequencing Stage.
With her extremely keen mental perception and locking ability, Zhang Manqian may even possess the ability to evade firearms, thus posing a potential threat to higher-ranking individuals.
"Then... shall I give it a try?"
Just thinking about the nausea and vomiting side effects of the Origin-Nurturing Pill makes the cultivation of realms incomparably unfriendly.
Zhang Manqian's main reason for learning cultivation techniques was to improve the endurance of the Supreme Purity True Technique.
Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation techniques were disjointed, which led Zhang Manqian to focus her energy more on the Crane Form Fist and Tiger Form Fist, two complete sets of Gene Fighting Technique.
Even though Zhang Xuezhou displayed incredible power and defeated Song Xianzong a few days ago, she never denied her path of primarily cultivating Gene Fighting Technique.
After all, her cultivation does not involve intimidation, making it difficult to achieve a perfect combination of Gene Fighting Technique, realm techniques, and Mental Strengthening.
But with Zhang Xuezhou urging her repeatedly, Zhang Manqian had no choice but to completely shift her focus.
The shift in focus over nearly a year makes it difficult for her to achieve her intended goals in Gene Fighting Technique skills, which undoubtedly involves a significant element of gambling.
However, with Zhang Xuezhou absent from the competition, Zhang Manqian had to rely on the effectiveness of firearms.
If they don't change their practice, their chances of losing are 100%.
Only by entering the True Spirit Realm can she lead the team to avoid being eliminated in the early stages, until Zhang Xuezhou regains consciousness and participates in the competition.
It's hard to say who among the young people has the strongest Gene Fighting Technique, but when it comes to marksmanship, once you step into the True Spirit Realm, you will undoubtedly reach a kingly level within a distance of over a hundred meters.
This will give Zhang Manqian an extremely strong advantage.
