Chapter 3158 Stakeholders

"Brother, you have an exceptional talent for cultivation. Even if you haven't reached the seventh sequence, your strength is still quite formidable among the higher levels!"

"I'm so anxious!"

On Zhang Xuezhou's third day at the research institute, Zhao Tianhua passed through the blockade and entered the institute.

Very few people are able to visit the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum.

But everyone at the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum gave Zhao Tianhua a strong sense of crisis.

The younger generation is catching up step by step, not only matching their own level, but also demonstrating combat effectiveness that is in no way inferior to Zhao Tianhua.

Both Zhang Manqian and Ning Que are quite formidable fighters. Moreover, Ning Que possesses an extremely terrifying research ability in gene combat techniques, not only able to adapt his own gene combat techniques but also able to point out the shortcomings of others.

Zhao Tianhua felt not only that newcomers were beginning to emerge, but also that he, as a veteran, was likely to be swept away and killed on the beach.

A few years ago, Zhao Tianhua was a top general in the Red Alliance. Apart from Zhou Xin and Chang Kongluo, who were both in the seventh rank, he didn't respect anyone else. Zhao Tianhua also had the confidence to do so.

Now, there are countless seventh-sequence individuals, and talented young people are constantly emerging, making it difficult for even the most skilled sixth-sequence individuals to keep up with the times.

Most importantly, Zhao Tianhua felt that he was highly replaceable and that his value was constantly decreasing.

The seventh sequence has become his current pursuit, and only by breaking through this threshold can he feel more confident.

"There's an eighth sequence after the seventh," Zhang Xuezhou laughed. "Since you can't get the seventh sequence right now, it's not bad for you to focus on building your mental foundation in advance. The eighth sequence requires a certain amount of mental strength!"

"If I can't even pass the seventh sequence, how could I possibly pass the eighth sequence!"

The bear-like ferocious beasts that Zhao Tianhua needs are rare.

Despite searching for information for decades without success, and even now with the top leaders of many major countries constantly exchanging resources and information, Zhao Tianhua has still not been able to obtain any relevant information.

If in the past we could wait a little longer, now that the Aomeijia Alliance has suffered a biological disaster, the country has only barely restored its ability to transit through Qinmeng, very few people are going to Qinmeng, and it is extremely difficult to obtain relevant information.

Without accurate information, Zhao Tianhua's own journey would be like searching for a needle in a haystack, let alone retrieving a living ferocious beast to bring back to Xijing City.

“We are currently seeking a solution to the problem of extracting the ferocious beast,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “This obstacle has not only stopped you, but also a considerable number of others!”

"What are your current ideas?" Zhao Tianhua asked.

"Currently, one approach is believed to be through gene-catalyzed reactions, allowing extracts from ferocious beasts that do not fit the body to act throughout the body," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Another approach is to modify the extracts from ferocious beasts so that there are no longer different types of extracts that stimulate the resistance layer. The third approach is to find the reaction equation for the human body's derived resistance layer, thereby achieving a similar effect through synthetic drugs!"

"Any progress so far?" Zhao Tianhua asked.

"Brother, you can join in!"

Zhang Xuezhou has a need for gene sequences, but it's not to the point of being an essential need.

His physical body techniques have a similar effect to a resistance layer, and his realm techniques grant him control and domain effects over minor, intermediate, and major supernatural powers.

Different cultivation methods eventually sparked the same ideas, freeing him from being fixated on one particular direction.

But Zhang Xuezhou also hopes to solve the related problems, since the effects of gene sequencing are real and tangible.

Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou vaguely sensed that if the physical body technique could be combined with the resistance layer, he would have a high probability of achieving the supernatural transformation of the physical body technique, thereby achieving the effect of another world and thus having the possibility of rapidly advancing to a higher level.

For Zhang Xuezhou, while he enjoys the convenience of having two bodies from different worlds, he also has to bear the corresponding risks.

How to empower himself, who lacks initiative, to withstand risks is something he has been constantly working on; it is his survival instinct, and even the direction of his spiritual practice. Zhang Xuezhou eagerly anticipates advancing his spiritual practice from different angles, thereby creating his own strength.

In his early years, he only hoped to survive; now, he wants to live better and even wants to explore the world to its limits.

It must be said that the Giant Tree Contract had a profound impact on him, and the New Emperor's decisive attack on Daojun also touched Zhang Xuezhou.

Whether it's a foolish impulse or a challenge to authority, the answer will vary depending on individual perspectives.

In Zhang Xuezhou's mind, he preferred the latter.

Fearless of authority and unbound by the framework of predecessors, only by slashing the seemingly impossible sword in one's heart can one perhaps create a true self.

Zhang Xuezhou has not yet reached the state of true self, but he can sense that he must do all of these things to move forward before he can break free from the idealistic self.

Spiritual practice is not just about cultivating the mind; a simple change in mindset cannot lead to one's true self. It requires continuous verification of success through practical actions in order to naturally progress.

Overcoming the obstacles of the seventh sequence may be part of the process.

"I don't understand these research topics!"

"If you don't understand research, you can cooperate with Luo Burang in testing. Laboratory testing may have some risks, but you will definitely be the first to come into contact with the original formulation, and the effect should be stronger than conventional drugs!"

"Xiao Luo has been a bit irritable lately. Is he having some trouble with his research?"

"He just doesn't want to communicate with people he doesn't connect with. Listen to how gentle his voice is through my communicator!"

Zhang Xuezhou took the communicator and communicated with Luo Burang.

For capable people, they do not tie themselves to one particular area.

Luo Burang has a team researching catalysts, as well as going to Dongshan to cultivate realm techniques. He also constantly refines the sequence lock and promotes the growth of weak gene sequences. His daily life is so fulfilling that he doesn't want to say another word.

Zhao Tianhua, who was cultivating at the Imperial Mausoleum in Dongshan, had met Luo Burang dozens of times, but none of the conversations had gone well.

Only when Zhao Tianhua agreed to join the test did Luo Burang's voice on the communicator sound more joyful.

"The extracts from my tall beast are too hard to find. I've been thinking of doing experiments once that little brat reaches the sixth sequence. With Brother Zhao joining, we can start testing ahead of schedule!"

Luo Burang himself has weak genes from blood transfusions, so he has a need for gene catalysts. The ferocious beast extract was identified before the blood transfusion, and the Crimson Alliance has extra backups, so there is no problem with lacking resources. The one who really needs it is Luo Gaogao.

Luo Gaogao, who devoted himself to communications research, suffered from sequence lag and was almost squeezed out of the core of the outstanding young generation, but eventually returned because of Luo Burang.

The boost from the sequence lock allowed Luo Gaogao to improve at an extremely fast pace, and Luo Burang's personal guidance far surpassed that of others.

Luo Gaogao has performed exceptionally well in the recent struggle among the younger generation and has the opportunity to attempt to derive the resistance layer of the seventh sequence in the coming years.

Luo Burang clearly wanted to prepare his son in advance, rather than waiting until a need arose to solve the problem.

And the most important point is that Zhang Xuezhou himself has needs.

Luo Burang had no doubt that he lacked support from the rear when he was in need.

All the personnel and resource support involved will be handled by Zhang Xuezhou and others. He is just taking advantage of this opportunity to give Luo Gaogao a chance.

Similar to sequence locks, early ownership and late ownership are two different concepts.

To appeal to the general public, it is essential to be accessible and adaptable. This applies to sequence locks as well as the drugs they research. Being an early adopter carries risks, but also inherent advantages.
