"Skilled with spears, especially long spears!"

"Tiger Fist, you've got some strength!"

Luo Gaogao's three teammates include one person of the same age, and two others who are backup sequencing candidates specially prepared by a large Lineage to win the championship.

These backup sequencers are older and may not shine at the sequence level, but they have undoubtedly reached the limit of their level as sequencers.

The sequencing committee allows for the existence of these backup sequencers, but does not allow them to constitute too large a proportion of the participating teams, lest the winner be rendered meaningless.

In most cases, many teams adopt a three-plus-two format.

That is, three regular participants and two backup sequencers to assist.

How to make good use of these two backup plans and how to reasonably match the team are the problems that Luo Gaogao needs to face.

The starting lineup is hard to choose, and the backup players can't be replaced either.

For those who are considered "backup options," the most important mission of their partner's life is this grand event, after which they will devote themselves to their normal work.

Such talents with Lineage characteristics are becoming increasingly difficult to cultivate in recent years, and fewer and fewer people are willing to engage in decades of monotonous training. It is also very difficult to find individuals with such natural talent.

The two backup options for the Luo family are unique.

But the fundamentals of these two are so solid that they are hard to understand.

This is also Luo Gaogao's usual sparring partner.

"If you can withstand Lu Da's or Lu Er's attacks, or even take them down, your strength will be quite similar to ours!"

The person next to Luo Gaogao was of the same age as Zhu Kuang, who also belonged to an important Lineage in Western Capital.

He looked at his female teammate with considerable interest.

In a comparison under similar circumstances, women's physical strength is only about 70% of that of men. He does not discriminate against women, but he does not have much confidence in women's participation in such top-level events.

Luo Gaogao took a short test yesterday, while Zhang Manqian will have her real test today.

They don't need Zhang Manqian to be as good as them, as long as she's passable, there's at least room for improvement, and it would allow them to accept this new teammate recommended by Luo Hui.

"This kind of struggle is pointless; I won't engage in a game that offers no benefit!"

Zhang Manqian blinked.

Neither Professor Luo Hui's guarantee of a major scholarship nor becoming teammates with these individuals has yielded any tangible benefits at present.

Zhang Manqian doesn't act timidly.

She was prepared to test her skills and get to know each other before making her move; she didn't need to be subservient or compromise herself.

Luo Gaogao may lack teammates, but Zhang Manqian certainly doesn't.

Given the importance that Luo Gaogao and others placed on the sequencing conference, it was impossible for them to accept Zhang Xuezhou or join their team.

This makes it difficult for the two sides to have any real interaction before the sequencing conference.

She spoke up partly to see if there was anything she could gain, and partly to find out what arrangements Luo Gaogao and the others had made for their new teammates.

Zhang Manqian glanced at the empty laboratory.

Professor Luo Hui had already moved to another area of the laboratory, where he was routinely instructing several of his star students on experiments. Without Professor Luo Hui's attention, Zhang Manqian was still quite bold.

Her casual remark caught Luo Gaogao off guard for a moment.

"My grandfather said you have some foundation in Tiger Form Fist and Crane Form Fist, and he can give you Tiger and Crane Blood Elixir to strengthen them. If you can successfully master Tiger and Crane Dual Forms, you will at least have the ability to support me," Luo Gaogao said.

"I didn't see the Tiger Crane Blood Essence," Zhang Manqian said, waving her hand.

"The Tiger Crane blood serum is in that freezer over there," Luo Gaogao pointed to a freezer on the side and said, "It took my grandfather an entire night to prepare this blood serum!"

"Isn't it too easy to prepare a blood serum in just one night? Is it really effective?" Zhang Manqian asked doubtfully.

"The difficulty in preparing blood serum lies in cultivating the original culture medium. Only when the original culture medium is well-propagated can an excellent blood serum be produced," Zhu Kuang explained. "A single-gene advanced blood serum is worth tens of millions, and this kind of double-gene advanced blood serum is extremely rare. There are very few laboratories in the Alliance with this capability!"

"Will it work?" Zhang Manqian asked.

"It will definitely work," Luo Gaogao assured him.

"Have you tried it?" Zhang Manqian asked.

"No," Luo Gaogao shook his head.

How do you know it will work if you don't try it?

Zhang Manqian asked a question in return, which left Luo Gaogao speechless, and even Zhu Kuang didn't know how to respond.

The effectiveness cannot be proven without having used it.

Some people may trust Professor Luo Hui's reputation, but if they lack that trust, it's understandable to remain skeptical of blood products, since high-end blood products do indeed have a certain accident rate.

Why don't you give it a try?

Luo Gaogao looked around, pondered for a few seconds, and then asked.

"Is it harmful?" Zhang Manqian asked. "I was harmed by Zuo Denggao once before when I received a blood injection!"

"Zuo Denggao, bah! He's no better!"

Luo Gaogao's original teammate, Zhou Tianhao, was snatched away by Zuo Teng, which made him have a bad impression of the Zuo Household. When Zhang Manqian mentioned Zuo Denggao, he spat on the spot.

He hesitated to use the blood serum, but Zhang Manqian's unintentional but deliberate provocation of Zuo Denggao stirred up some youthful competitive thoughts in Luo Gaogao's mind.

"I, Luo Gaogao, am not like Zuo Denggao," Luo Gaogao said. "Those two brothers are both scoundrels, and they love to scheme against people. I wouldn't even deign to associate with them."

"Yes, we won't harm anyone, much less scheme against anyone," Zhu Kuangyi assured him. "If you don't believe me, just try it; it definitely won't do you any harm!"

Luo Gaogao and Zhu Kuang felt that Zhang Manqian's knowledge was seriously lacking.

For Zhang Manqian, a contestant in the sequencing arena, a lack of experience leads Zhang Manqian to be skeptical of many things.

In Zhang Manqian's eyes, Luo Hui was probably just a professor who studied genetic biology.

In reality, Luo Hui's expertise in genetic content is extremely advanced, almost at the forefront of international standards, and even highly beneficial to Gene Fighting Technique.

Luo Gaogao and Zhu Kuang believed that once Zhang Manqian knew she had gained benefits, she would definitely be firmly bound to their group.

"You're the ones who asked me to try this," Zhang Manqian said. "If I discover anything wrong with it, you must get me to the hospital immediately!"

"The Luo family has a sanatorium in Tangshan. The medical technology there is excellent, even more reliable than the Jishi Group," Zhu Kuang said. "They can treat any accident and heal it completely. You can rest assured!"

"Then let's give it a try!"

The two backup sequencers had no say, and Professor Luo Hui was not present; everything in the lab was decided by Luo Gaogao and Zhu Kuang.

Luo Gaogao carefully opened the freezer and took out a vial of injection that looked like red blood.

He shook the reagent bottle and then drew it out with a syringe.

"Will you inject yourself or should I help you?" Luo Gaogao asked.

"You do it," Zhang Manqian waved her hand, "Just in case something goes wrong, so you won't say it's my injection technique that's wrong!"

For those who study genetics, skills such as injection and dissection are fundamental, and self-injection is not difficult.

Looking at Luo Gaogao, Zhang Manqian couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

She originally intended to make a bet, testing the strength of Luo Gaogao's team while also making a quick buck of 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

After all, she was bound to lose during the test, which would make Luo Gaogao and the others look down on her, and she would inevitably get a beating. Zhang Manqian didn't want to get beaten up for nothing.

But Zhang Manqian didn't expect Luo Gaogao to actually use a blood serum.

Zhang Manqian was certainly familiar with blood serums, and with the help of the Ren Household, she knew where to buy them and their price.

Looking at the liquid in that small syringe, the value of which would make many wealthy people go bankrupt trying to buy it.

As the cool liquid was injected into her arm, Zhang Manqian immediately experienced an extremely rapid and strange sensation throughout her body.
