Maxing Out His Resources

Ren Anran had participated in a sequencing conference, where her team finished as runner-up.

The championship team is an all-female team.

This became a sensational news story in Western Capital and even in the Scarlet Alliance State's genetic combat circle.

The main group in this group is a trio of women, consisting of Zhu Shengnan, Zhen Mei, and Jiang Feng.

These three individuals all practiced giant ape-type Gene Fighting Technique. Not only did they possess extraordinary divine strength, but their fighting skills were also outstanding, making even men pale in comparison.

When Zhang Xuezhou saw Luo Gaogao, he saw that the extremely tall Luo Gaogao had her head down and back hunched over, and was obediently following behind the three women.

I am Zhu Shengnan!

Zhu Shengnan is from the Zhu Household in Western Capital. Professor Zhu Liangping has an older brother named Zhu Wei, and Zhu Shengnan is Zhu Wei's daughter.

The other person was a full 1.8 meters tall, a head taller than the average woman and considerably taller than the average man.

But unlike the women Zhang Xuezhou had imagined, whose faces were full of flesh, Zhu Shengnan's face was extremely small, even delicate, against the backdrop of her robust body.

If she didn't have this muscular physique, she would be the ideal woman for many men.

What made Zhang Xuezhou need to adjust his breathing was the immense power of his opponent's Qi and Blood, an aura akin to that of a military commander, which easily exerted a sense of oppression when the opponent closed in.

For Zhang Xuezhou, who is skilled in mental power, to have this feeling, the other party's sequence level must be at least the Third Sequence or higher, or the Fourth Sequence, or even the Fourth Sequence at its peak, or even the Fifth Sequence.

Upon their first meeting, Zhu Shengnan clearly intended to project an aura of confidence.

Or perhaps this is simply their way of interacting.

You are indeed stronger than Gao Gao!

Zhu Shengnan secretly reached out her hand several times, but then lowered it again, ultimately failing to grab Zhang Xuezhou as she had grabbed Luo Gaogao.

"After all, he's the top student this year, and he can beat Gao Gao like a dead dog," a woman behind Zhu Shengnan laughed. "My name is Zhen Mei. If you think I'm beautiful, then we can be good friends!"

It's not easy for anyone with a big, burly build to look beautiful.

Living in the wilderness in Qinmeng year-round is no less arduous than Zhang Xuezhou's journey through the Southern Jambudvipa Continent and the Northern Kuru Continent.

Exposed to wind, rain, and sun, Zhang Xuezhou aged several years back then. The twenty-year-old looked like he was twenty-five or twenty-six. If it weren't for Jinlongyu (a brand of fish) that made him look young again, Zhang Xuezhou's appearance would not have been good either.

Compared to Xu Shengnan's naturally exquisite appearance, Zhen Mei at this moment looks more like a middle-aged woman in her thirties.

But the other person didn't seem to care about appearances at all, and instead made casual jokes.

"Then we're already good friends!"

Zhang Xuezhou also avoided directly addressing questions about the other person's appearance or any related topics such as inner beauty.

He extended his hand, which surprised Zhen Mei for a moment, before she quickly reached out and shook his hand in return.

"It's rare to see someone like you. Gao Gao only agreed with our beauty after we beat her up," the third-ranked woman said happily. "I knew you had good taste. My name is Jiang Feng."

Compared to Zhu Shengnan and Zhen Mei, Jiang Feng is thinner and has fairer skin.

Compared to her strength in gene-based combat, Jiang Feng is actually more outstanding in the technical field, involving a wide variety of related technologies.

This is also a necessary coordination within the team; a team where everyone is only good at fighting would find it difficult to survive in Qinmeng.

These three women are clearly very outgoing and open-minded; even their somewhat carefree nature makes them difficult to dislike.

"Hello!"

Zhang Xuezhou politely extended his hand.

A heavy handshake came through, and his palm made an unnatural cracking sound.

This caused Zhang Xuezhou's body to automatically reflexively enter a fighting state. He raised his eyes and then stared at Jiang Feng.

His hand felt as if it were being clamped in a pair of pliers, while Jiang Feng's forehead began to be covered in a layer of cold sweat.

"Jiang Feng suffered a loss at Ren Wuyang's hands, but she never expected to suffer a loss at your hands as well!"

Zhu Shengnan reached out and squeezed, and as Jiang Feng released Zhang Xuezhou's right hand, she was immediately thrown behind by Zhu Shengnan.

"You can influence those in the Third Sequence; your strength is far greater than I imagined," Zhu Shengnan said. "Don't worry about Jiang Feng; she'll be convinced after a beating!"

"Well!"

"If you can beat me up, I'll be convinced of your worth," Zhu Shengnan said, reaching out her hand.

I can't beat you!

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head repeatedly, his right hand, which Jiang Feng had been gripping and squeezing, loosening and clenching to relieve the pain in his muscles and bones.

He could target Jiang Feng, but Zhang Xuezhou was well aware of the hierarchical levels to which his deterrence could be applied.

He currently possesses immense energy, but the Kunpeng Combat Technique responsible for its output is inadequate. Even with his powerful mental strength, the scope he can target is limited.

His current strength is similar to that of a Fourth Sequence practitioner who has mastered intimidation-type combat techniques. He can barely target Third Sequence at close range, and can also target Second Sequence- order practitioners at long range. He has the ability to target First Sequence practitioners from a hundred meters away.

The higher the level targeted, the less lethal his Kunpeng Combat Technique becomes.

Even if he exerted all his strength, he could only make Jiang Feng tremble with fear and break out in a cold sweat when targeting her; it was difficult for him to go any further.

Zhang Xuezhou felt a pang of regret, but Zhu Shengnan and the others were in a state of utter turmoil.

They risked their lives and used all sorts of resources, and had been on the front lines for several years, but in just one encounter, Jiang Feng was subdued.

This aligns well with Ren Wuyang's description of Qin Meng, and even Ren Wuyang's description remains somewhat conservative, differing entirely from the descriptions given by Luo Gaogao and others.

Ren Wuyang naturally mentioned the strength of his own group, saying that even their successors were of considerable stature, with outstanding individuals such as Zhang Xuezhou and Zhang Manqian among them.

In the descriptions of Luo Gaogao and others, Zhang Xuezhou's glory was more like that of only the sequencing stage. Once Zhang Xuezhou entered the sequencing stage, it was very difficult for him to move up. If everyone else had moved forward quickly for two or three years, they could all have easily surpassed Zhang Xuezhou.

Coupled with the disadvantages of their family background, not only Zhang Xuezhou, but even Zhang Manqian, found it difficult to advance quickly in the sequence stage.

"Wow, Gao Gao, you're so blind! It's no wonder you got humiliated at the sequencing conference!"

Zhu Shengnan looked at Zhang Xuezhou with great interest for more than ten seconds before slapping Luo Gaogao on the shoulder.

The crackling sound made Luo Gaogao stagger, but he dared not retaliate and could only force a smile.

"If it weren't for the need to build a satellite to attract investment, I would have thought Brother Xuezhou was trash, and almost missed out on him," Zhu Shengnan said discontentedly. "A man like you never says a word that's reliable!"

"I!"

Luo Gao opened his mouth.

He felt more wronged than Dou E.

He never imagined that Zhang Xuezhou would be able to compete against members of the champion team from the previous two years.

Although Jiang Feng did not utilize her fighting skills, Zhang Xuezhou was completely unreasonable.

In just a few months, he still couldn't understand how Zhang Xuezhou had risen so high.

This forced him to ask Zhang Xuezhou for an explanation, lest Zhu Shengnan truly see him as a villain.

"It's nothing much. I just got twenty vials of mid-range Crane Blood Serum on credit from Professor Luo Hui, and five vials of high-grade Crane Blood Serum on credit from Professor Zhou Yueyan!"

Zhang Xuezhou replied casually, which not only silenced Luo Gaogao, but also left Zhu Shengnan speechless, unable to utter another word of complaint.

Before even leaving the gates of Western Capital, Zhang Xuezhou had already maxed out his resources.

Twenty vials of mid-range blood serum and five vials of high-end blood serum.

That's what they have to rely on.

Even if Zhu Shengnan and others had been busy for several years, with the support of their Lineage, they still hadn't exhausted themselves to this extent.
