Chapter 3331 Fusion of the Physical Body

"Anran, how do you feel about Xuezhou's condition?"

"Perfect!"

In the control room, Luo Burang was still somewhat uneasy, and kept glancing at Zhang Xuezhou inside the tank while observing the data.

He asked Ren Anran, and Ren Anran's answer was very simple, but it was full of trust and affirmation.

"It's absolutely perfect!"

On the instrument, Zhang Xuezhou's data was impeccable, and everything was within the safe range determined by Luo Burang.

But Luo Burang felt a vague sense of unease.

"You'll understand when you're able to enter the sinkhole in the future," Ren Anran explained. "Xuezhou's body has been tempered to an extremely high degree. He has been nurtured by spiritual energy, and his physical potential is at its strongest. Entering the seventh sequence is as easy as eating and drinking. The danger of the physical transformation he seeks should be within a reasonable range!"

Ren Anran knew Zhang Xuezhou all too well.

Zhang Xuezhou would never attempt something if he wasn't absolutely certain of its success.

Zhang Xuezhou is the type of person who seeks good fortune and avoids misfortune; he will stop as soon as he senses danger.

She wasn't worried that Zhang Xuezhou might suddenly risk his life and die.

Zhang Xuezhou did not die at the hands of Wang Jiangtao, nor at the hands of Song Xianzong, nor at the hands of the ferocious beast. He also defeated Donghua and gained his freedom. Having experienced so much, it would be a joke if Zhang Xuezhou were to die suddenly due to his cultivation.

Ren Anran was not worried about Zhang Xuezhou's condition. She believed that Zhang Xuezhou could control himself and that even if there was danger, it would at most be a close call.

She remained very calm, even observing Zhang Xuezhou's condition with extreme care and attention, in order to seek any possible assistance.

Unlike Grian and the others, Zhang Xuezhou's body inside the jar emitted a faint white light.

This means that when Zhang Xuezhou's body develops a resistance layer, his physical body technique also operates accordingly.

"Unfortunately, the methods of evasion are too complicated!"

Any complex task can be mastered through practice, and Ren Anran believed that the longer she worked, the less difficult the evasion techniques would become for her.

However, the limited time meant that she could not master the techniques of physical body manipulation and other evasion techniques, and could only carry out the initial stage of learning.

Zhang Xuezhou created a quick fix for physical body techniques, but Ren Anran could only dabble in it and could not continuously climb to the top like Zhang Xuezhou.

“The art of evasion has its uses, but it is ultimately scattered, which leads to many drawbacks. It is only suitable for specific situations and specific applications,” Zhang Hao said.

"Dispersion can lead to unification!"

"Disaster!"

Zhang Hao waved his hand.

The art of avoidance works like a magnet, repelling and eroding through repulsion.

It's practically a pipe dream to think that so many opposing forces could be integrated together.

Zhang Hao has mastered the art of evasion, each of his techniques having been honed over a long period of time, resulting in extremely high evasion power. However, he is also bound by the independence of his evasion techniques.

They all seem to belong to the category of evasion techniques, but each evasion technique has its own characteristics.

While it's theoretically possible to combine evasion techniques, it's like trying to combine nine different sword techniques—the difficulty is simply too high.

“Finding this unified node is very difficult,” Zhang Hao explained. “He wanted to rely on the resistance layer to become a transit point, but I felt that the resistance layer was insufficient!”

The resistance layer is very strong. Zhang Hao studied the body's ability to withstand blows. He must say that the effect of this human-beast transformation is very unique. A simple drug impact gives him the physical body of a great demon undergoing tribulation.

More importantly, the resistance layer can protect the divine consciousness and guide the body to have all-round protection without any blind spots. This kind of all-round protection is something that the physical body of a great demon lacks.

Taking the seventh sequence's resistance layer out of the equation, the Emperor felt that the resistance layer surpassed the capabilities of many evasion techniques.

Most importantly, the resistance layer is easy to form, making the formation of the physical resistance layer much simpler than practicing avoidance techniques.

However, transforming the resistance layer into the foundation of evasion techniques, thereby enabling numerous evasion techniques to be constantly available, is essentially impossible. "What about adding physical body techniques?" Ren Anran asked.

“Not enough,” Zhang Hao shook his head and said, “The Body Technique is a technique that unlocks the body’s ability to withstand blows. This technique is not an evasion technique, and it consumes a lot of cultivation resources. Moreover, the difficulty increases as you progress in cultivation. It is purely a technique that tortures the physical body. Only ascetic cultivators can possibly master it!”

The cultivation of physical body techniques is extremely difficult, and it is common for people to spend their entire lives in vain.

This technique is very similar to the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts. The difference is that one requires a lifetime of practice, while the other results in physical paralysis, a walking corpse, and a swift death. Neither is considered a normal or good cultivation technique.

Two cultivators have turned the theory of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts into reality, while no one has yet reached the pinnacle of the Body Techniques, as no one has mastered the theoretical limit of the 108,000 acupoints.

Zhang Xuezhou is clearly far from his limit. The Emperor felt that Zhang Xuezhou's physical skills were just for fun, and that this level was far from sufficient.

"Xuezhou's body is growing, almost one millimeter per second, and the rate of his growth has accelerated!"

Luo Burang's deep voice broke the private conversation among the group.

"How much of my brother's body's resistance level is left?" Zhang Manqian asked after a long silence.

"Around 45%. To be on the safe side, I've already added the medicine a second time!"

"Nearly half is still left!"

Zhang Manqian gritted her teeth, a hint of worry creeping into her eyes.

“Don’t worry, Xuezhou’s physical growth is benign,” Ren Anran said. “He didn’t grow any mutated parts like Zhao Tianhua did!”

"That's true!"

Luo Burang nodded.

Zhang Xuezhou's body inside the tank is growing, having grown ten centimeters compared to his normal state, and this growth rate is continuous and even accelerating.

However, Zhang Xuezhou did not develop any tumors or mutated limbs; his body remained perfectly intact.

"Pay close attention to the gene-based medicine inside the container and ensure that there is enough medicine in the container," Ren Anran instructed.

"I've prepared five doses of the medicine for a normal person for Xuezhou. As long as he needs it, I can prepare and administer it promptly," Luo Burang nodded and said, "There's no need to worry about that!"

Zhou Xin possessed a powerful physical body, and the amount of beast extracts he consumed when entering the seventh sequence was nearly ten times greater than that of Chang Kongluo. Zhang Xuezhou, on the other hand, not only had a powerful physical body, but also possessed weak genes, with his gene types being chaotic and disordered. Luo Burang had made ample preparations for this, and even left a plan for subsequent configuration, and would fully support him whenever needed.

His assurance relieved Ren Anran.

Inside the tank, Zhang Xuezhou's height had exceeded two meters, and his body had become increasingly robust.

The three-meter-high solution tank looked rather small, and its capacity seemed insufficient.

Rays of light floated across his body, as if testing him back and forth.

Zhang Xuezhou's face remained calm, seemingly without any concern for his own seventh sequence; instead, he was constantly trying different ways to combine them.

After a long while, as his body became increasingly bloated inside the jar, Zhang Xuezhou began to recite.

"The Art of Harmony Between Heaven and Man!"

Ren Yisheng whispered.

No one achieves success overnight, and Zhang Xuezhou is clearly trying various methods.

This is something that pioneers often do: if they can't rely on luck to succeed occasionally, they can only rely on the tedious method of trying one thing at a time.

As Ren Yisheng's gaze swept towards the ceiling of the research institute, he saw a faint light fall down, and Zhang Xuezhou's body became soft and fluid, expanding and contracting repeatedly.

"Is he about to cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts?"

Zhang Hao frowned.

However, he soon discovered that Zhang Xuezhou's condition was different from that of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.
