"The Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound Fighting Technique does indeed require high-grade blood serums!"

Zhang Manqian also successfully acquired the fighting skills she needed.

For practitioners of Gene Fighting Technique without Lineage background, seeking combat techniques is perfectly normal. Only those with Lineage -based combat techniques, like Luo Gaogao, might seek suitable gene-based weapons or a certain number of high-grade blood serums.

Zhang Manqian also needs high-end blood transfusions.

There are more than a dozen people in Western Capital who practice the Tiger and Crane Dual Forms. Correspondingly, the tiger blood serum that Zhang Manqian focuses on is quite expensive, far exceeding the price of Zhang Xuezhou's crane blood serum.

When Zhang Xuezhou asked her, Zhang Manqian held up five fingers.

"It seems our demand is quite high!"

Zhang Manqian's five fingers don't represent fifty or five hundred, but at least fifty million.

Although Zhang Manqian needed less blood serum than Zhang Xuezhou, the increased competition drove up the price of the serum.

"This is a crucial period," Zhang Manqian laughed. "But it's not just us who's worried; every family's kids are worried. The expenses are roughly the same as ours!"

Zuo Teng, who controlled the Lineage's two martial arts schools, spent three years raising 15 million.

If relying solely on this kind of wealth, even with access to blood serum, it would take Zuo Teng nearly ten years to reach the Third Sequence.

Consequently, some risky behaviors become inevitable.

It's not just Zhang Xuezhou who's delusional about becoming a raw material supplier; Zuo Teng and others are no exception, and this might even include Luo Gaogao and his ilk.

The Third Sequence is not particularly useful; this rank is far from having the right to speak or make decisions.

However, this sequence level is where the sequencers gather the most. If one does not reach this level, one will undoubtedly be beaten by the seasoned veterans in the sequencer group, making it difficult to develop in areas such as the Qin Meng Ruins.

Whether actively or passively, the new generation will all strive for the Third Sequence after passing through the corresponding sequencing stages.

"Our family's finances can't support such extravagance all at once, but I've recently come across some great stuff. Let's learn how to use it together!"

The sequencing conference yielded satisfactory results, but whether we can live up to those results is another matter entirely.

Aside from Song Fengying, who showed little emotion upon receiving the retractable grappling hook-type genetic weapon, many others were both happy and worried.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't care about all that; his family couldn't just force him to pay if they couldn't afford it.

His current situation doesn't allow him to rush into the ruins of Qin Meng to hunt.

But while one door closes, another opens; besides Gene Fighting Technique, they also possess realm-based techniques.

Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou acquired the Person-Fixing Technique and Acupoint-Fixing Technique within those seven days.

While the Acupoint-Fixing Technique may be of little use, the Person-Fixing Technique is likely to be applicable to the real world.

Zhang Xuezhou took notes and also translated haltingly with great interest, encouraging Zhang Manqian to think about it some more.

"Why do I feel like this 'Person-Fixing Technique' is somewhat similar to An Ran's pseudo-psychology?"

After listening to it once, Zhang Manqian couldn't help but have some thoughts of her own.

"But you have an extra technique!"

If we were to summarize the differences, Zhang Manqian believes that pseudo-psychology merely studies the psychology of others, while the Person-Fixing Technique" can be used to perform magic on people in order to obtain some kind of practical guidance.

"There are some similarities," Zhang Xuezhou nodded and said, "But this technique requires someone with vast knowledge to truly deduce and calculate it!"

"Is it accurate?" Zhang Manqian asked.

"While I wouldn't say it's a sure thing, once you've cultivated to a certain level, you should have at least a 50% chance of being right!"

"A 50/50 accuracy rate?"

Even if the success rate of deductive calculations is less than 50%, even a 10% success rate, or even just 1%, can sometimes play a significant role.

Zhang Manqian was clearly very interested.

She had witnessed some possible futures and was curious about related techniques, even considering mastering them.

The current challenge lies in the accuracy of Zhang Xuezhou's translation, which also requires her to study related pseudo-psychology.

But right now is a window of opportunity for them to improve their skills, and Zhang Manqian feels that they can learn more from them.

Having entered the fourth stage of Mental Strengthening, her current learning ability, while not as outrageous as Zhang Xuezhou's, is indeed quite strong in terms of learning comprehension.

What takes some people eight or ten days to learn, Zhang Manqian only needs to learn in one or two days.

"There's a wonderful aspect to mastering this technique," Zhang Xuezhou said. "It doesn't focus on predicting what your opponent will do at a certain point in the future, but rather on predicting what abilities they will use against you when you encounter such an opponent!"

"Really?" Zhang Manqian exclaimed in surprise, "If you can predict your opponent's attack capabilities, wouldn't that mean you can win every battle?"

That makes sense!

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

The fortune teller class is good in every way, and has many strong abilities. The only drawback of the fortune teller class is that none of them are good at fighting.

This means that even if fortune tellers know what methods their opponents use to attack them, they lack the corresponding countermeasures.

However, when applying this deduction to other people, the accuracy is significantly reduced without having oneself as a reference point.

Of course, even so, people still have great trust in the divinations of fortune tellers, and often ask them to make predictions when it comes to a decisive battle.

Physiognomists possessed powerful auxiliary abilities and were highly sought after in the past. If a faction didn't have several high-level physiognomists, it would be looked down upon.

With strong support abilities but unreliable personal skills, it was inevitable that Xiangmen would be eliminated in the Southern Jambudvipa Continent.

Zhang Xuezhou might dare to mess around in real life, but if he were in the Han Dynasty, he wouldn't utter a single word about the Person-Fixing Technique, Acupoint-Fixing Technique, or physiognomy.

"I want to learn, and I want to be very good at it!"

Relying on muscle memory and visual judgment to fight is clearly insufficient to defend against an opponent.

Even though Zhang Manqian had strong perception and her Tiger and Crane Dual Forms cultivation had reached an extremely high level, she still couldn't avoid being beaten more than ten times when fighting Luo Gaogao.

With the aid of physiognomy's predictive abilities, she would undoubtedly resolve any confrontation with ease, perhaps even without taking any damage.

Zhang Manqian was excited, feeling that after the Supreme Purity True Technique, she had obtained another useful skill from Zhang Xuezhou.

"We've got a lot more to offer!"

While Zhang Manqian was chatting happily, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but chuckle.

"I also have nine other evasion techniques here. If you master those techniques to their fullest extent, they can be incredibly useful!"

The nine techniques of evasion are all defensive skills, but these defensive skills were once possessed by the Heavenly Court, and their corresponding levels are extremely high.

However, the nine major avoidance techniques involve 108,000 acupoints. Even if each acupoint only has one character, Zhang Xuezhou would have to translate at least 108,000 characters to translate one technique, not to mention the connections between acupoints and the steps to activate them.

The sheer volume of the nine evasion techniques left Zhang Xuezhou speechless.

He had no choice but to select techniques that were quick to translate and had relatively little content.

"So much!"

Zhang Xuezhou patiently explained the techniques he possessed, Zhang Manqian was momentarily convinced of Turkalando's judgment, feeling that Zhang Xuezhou had gone to the realm of gods to learn divine techniques.

Listening to Zhang Xuezhou's introduction of the Water Avoidance Technique, Fire Avoidance Technique, Lightning Avoidance Technique, Wind Avoidance Technique, Dust Avoidance Technique, Poison Avoidance Technique, Curse Avoidance Technique, Grain Avoidance Technique, and War Stopping Technique, Zhang Manqian felt that Gene Fighting Technique was simply being rubbed into the ground.

If you have so many skills, fighting will be much easier.

As long as they can avoid poisonous water, fire, electricity, and swords, it means that many special firearms and sharp weapons will be difficult to use against them.

The Grain Avoidance Technique and other abilities provide the ability to sustain oneself for a long time when food is scarce.

Anyone with these conditions will have a survival ability in the wild that is many times greater than that of others.

Zhang Manqian initially thought that due to her lack of high-end blood serum, she could only do some ordinary training, film some TV series like Swordsman, and then work as a live streamer to make some money. But now, with Zhang Xuezhou filling her life with so much content, Zhang Manqian feels that her life is so full that she has no friends and simply can't find time to be lazy.

"When we're more capable, let's travel abroad together!"

Zhang Xuezhou didn't specify whether they were going to the Thousand Islands Alliance, the Qin-Meng Ruins, or the British Alliance State, but Zhang Manqian knew that they would go wherever their abilities allowed.

"What about Duoduo?"

After being happy for a long time, Zhang Manqian finally noticed something was wrong.

The persistent little tail following Zhang Xuezhou was gone.
