Chapter 3479 Only after crossing the threshold can one know the height of the mountain.
In the North Rehe region, there is a temporary wall. The wall is not high, and anyone can easily climb over it, but this wall has separated the world into two parts.

Those in the North Jehol region all hope to enter the inner wall, but the threshold for entry is the seventh sequence.

"You and Zhang Xuezhou are on good terms, could you ask him to pull some strings? My draw number 136 is way too far down the list!"

"Even Ren Wuyang didn't pull any strings, so how could I possibly ask Zhang Xuezhou to do the same?"

"Ren Wuyang is ranked forty-sixth. He doesn't need to use connections. It's people like us who get our numbers through a lottery who need to use connections. You're ranked one hundred and forty-second!"

"That's how the lottery works, nothing to say. But you should concentrate, or you might fail to meet even the basic requirements for the sixth sequence!"

"The queue is still long; I can easily step into the sixth sequence!"

On the top floor of the A6 Research Institute, Zuo Teng kept scanning the area with binoculars.

There are many like Zuo Teng who care about the B13 Institute's sequence, and many people hope that the laboratory's progress will be accelerated so that it will be their turn to enter the seventh sequence.

The sixth and seventh sequences are only one step apart, but they are worlds apart.

The body develops a resistance layer, thus possessing sufficient tolerance for error. This does indeed bring a completely different level of confidence, which is a basic condition for facing the ferocious beast Qin Meng.

"The seventh sequence might not be as good as we imagined!"

Many faces can be seen through the telescope. Zuo Teng observed Zhang Xuezhou the most, but then focused on Zhang Manqian.

Zhang Manqian is a highly representative figure among the younger generation. Few Sequence members can match her in unarmed hand-to-hand combat, not even the older generation of Sequence members. Only Ning Que can barely hold his own.

When Zuo Teng returned from the operation more than a month later, he noticed that Zhang Manqian's face did not show joy, but rather a heavy expression.

This made his heart skip a beat, and he quickly realized that Zhang Manqian had not achieved the success she had imagined after entering the seventh sequence.

"The seventh sequence isn't good enough?" Zuo Denggao retorted, unconvinced.

"Only after crossing the threshold can one know the height of the mountain!"

Zuo Teng put down his binoculars.

After Zhang Manqian left the fighting ring of the Sequence Committee, he took over the mantle. Although his performance was not as outstanding as Zhang Manqian's, no one knocked him off the ring.

Zuo Teng was inferior to Zhang Manqian, and by observing Zhang Manqian's situation, he knew that he had entered the seventh sequence.

He was well aware of the pressure Zhang Manqian was under; the effort required for any new generation to break into the ranks of the older generation was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

This is a clash between the younger and older generations of geniuses, and it's extremely difficult to break into the fray.

But getting in is still just a hurdle.

Zuo Teng took out the visual device, which contained a video recording of Zhang Xuezhou delaying Zhao Tianhua's failed experiment. The flying force of the circling maneuver remains unmatched to this day.

Only by getting in there can they see Zhang Xuezhou's true abilities.

Zhang Xuezhou himself is a threshold; by overcoming Zhang Xuezhou, one can see an even higher level.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to rise in social class. For those of them who are at the top of society, it is not much different to want to leap up. They also face various difficulties. If it weren't for the fact that Zuo Teng and others had the advantage of being close to the source, how could they have obtained the opportunity to quickly master the sequence lock and draw lots?

"We sent more than twenty people, how come only a dozen or so came back? The rest of them are all dead?"

Zuo Teng focused on observing the emotions of the crowd, while Zuo Denggao counted the number of people. He muttered something, which made Zuo Teng's already uneasy heart race.

"He messaged me!"

Observing Zhang Xuezhou's leaping flight repeatedly was of no use, but the communications Zhang Xuezhou sent out were truly useful. After all, Zhang Xuezhou rarely sent out communications, and when he did, it involved important matters.

"It was a mass message, I received it too!"

Zuo Denggao muttered a complaint, and after only one glance, he quickly dropped the binoculars and communicator.

"We were supposed to be ranked 136th in the lottery, so why do we have to submit our genetic data for a physical test rehearsal now? Damn it, I haven't even reached the sixth sequence yet, how am I supposed to take the physical test!" Zuo Denggao shouted, looking anxious like an ordinary person facing an adult exam.

He rushed to the training room of the A6 Research Institute, while Zuo Teng's expression changed slightly.

Cutting-edge technology has always been a mystery, even for Zuo Teng and others who are in charge of the A6 laboratory.

The process of advancing an experiment can sometimes be slow, but it can also be accelerated by opening up a certain link, thus bringing forward the timeline time by time.

Zuo Teng believes that the technological links leading to the seventh sequence have been updated again, which is why the speed has been accelerated once again.

Zuo Teng had no confidence in himself after the seventh sequence, but he had no complaints about himself after the sixth sequence.

With a confident reply, Zuo Teng quickly received confirmation.

"Teng, come here now!"

The reply on the communicator caught Zuo Teng somewhat off guard. After all, his lottery number was relatively late. Judging from the content of Zhang Xuezhou's reply, he was likely to be among the first to respond, and because he was so close to Zhang Xuezhou, he was ranked at the front, possibly even the first one.

Why would I reply so quickly?

If possible, Zuo Teng would like to have a case study for reference.

After slapping himself on the right cheek, Zuo Teng pushed open the window and jumped out.

His body was as light as a ghostly leopard. When he landed from a height of more than ten meters, he only bent slightly before running away.

The few miles were a short distance for Zuo Teng. In just a short while, he saw the familiar B13 Research Institute and could see Zhang Xuezhou and others through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"I really am the first one!"

The research institute's reception room was filled with faces of seventh-sequence individuals. Zuo Teng quickly replied to the message, and because he was so close and fast-moving, he became the first visitor to arrive.

"Teng's here, come on in!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved, and Zuo Teng, having received permission, jogged in after him.

"I haven't prepared my genetic data yet!"

Zuo Teng greeted everyone as he entered, bowed to several familiar faces, and then awkwardly explained to Zhang Xuezhou.

"No problem, not having the data just means you'll have to put in a little more effort. Show me your own genetic fighting techniques a few more times!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, indicating that there was no major problem.

Pushing himself into the seventh sequence was the fourth thing he mentioned, which was of relatively low importance, but Zhang Xuezhou needed to use these things to warm up and force himself into a research state, thus moving from the familiar to the unfamiliar.

His situation is somewhat similar to the "padding" behavior before upgrading equipment in a game; after padding, he will have more confidence.

Daojun's Flying Knife Technique and Innate Qi Technique have complete contents, which only require Zhang Xuezhou to dictate and translate. The Great Wilderness Creation Scripture was taught by Jin Guang, but it lacks the demonstration process taught by Emperor Jin Guang. Zhang Xuezhou only has the traces of Zhu Jiuyin's accelerated learning, so it is not easy to translate it completely and accurately.

Not to mention Zhang Xuezhou's caution, Zhang Hao also looked serious upon learning the relevant information.

He knew that Zhu Jiuyin had a chance, but Zhang Hao never thought that Zhu Jiuyin might possess the Yang Shen Dao inherited from Hongjun.

Obtaining a legacy does not guarantee that a cultivator will become stronger or reach higher levels, but only by obtaining a legacy can one make comparisons and thus have the possibility of getting closer.

Even though a thousand years have passed and Zhang Hao's current identity is completely different, he still clearly remembers the experience of being defeated by an emperor with a single palm strike, and he can't forget it.

He misjudged Zhang Xuezhou's identity in his early years, which led him to study the content of "Mr. Ren".

Now, he truly has the opportunity to access Hongjun's cultivation methods.

Just as Zuo Teng said, "Only after crossing the threshold can one know the height of the mountain." Only after making contact could he determine how big the gap was, and he worked hard to move closer to Hongjun's direction. As for whether he could surpass him, he left that to the future.
