This is the bond between childhood sweethearts who grew up together.
âHmm?â
Suddenly, Lin Zichen saw a very unexpected name in Liu Chuanwuâs personal relationships column.
Ex-wife: Yuan Dongzhi.
Son: Yuan Xusheng
Daughter: Yuan Xiaoyi
Yuan Dongzhi?
Isnât that Han Hanâs cheap master?
What a coincidence?
Son Yuan Xusheng, Daughter Yuan Xiaoyi, did they change their last names to their motherâs after the divorce?
Liu Chuanwu seems a bit miserableâ¦
The more Lin Zichen thought about it, the more he admired Liu Chuanwu.
With the combat power that Liu Chuanwu had just displayed in the video, if he had undergone genetic fusion when he was young, he probably would be at least at the same level as Yuan Dongzhi by now.
He wouldnât need to shout joyfully to the sky after barely winning, bloodied, against an instructor at the school like he did in the video.
He wouldnât need to be scorned every day while recruiting students everywhere.
Hmm?
Suddenly, Lin Zichen noticed something was off.
The profile pictures of Yuan Xusheng and Yuan Xiaoyi were both gray.
Are they both dead?
Lin Zichen wanted to click and see more about these two, but with Liu Chuanwu there, he curbed his curiosity and didnât click.
After seeing that Lin Zichen finished browsing the encyclopedia, Liu Chuanwu smiled and said:
âAlthough I donât look as young as other genetic integrators of the same age, being able to maintain my current appearance at nearly a hundred years old is enough to show that human potential is great, and that pureblood humans have a promising future.â
âIt is also for this reason that Tianren Pavilion exists, and why so many aspiring individuals are willing to join Tianren Pavilion to explore the evolutionary path of pureblood humans,â he added.
As he said this, Liu Chuanwuâs tone suddenly became serious, âWhat is Tianren? To prevail over nature is to be a Tianren!â
âHere, âhumanâ refers to pureblood humans!â
After finishing, Liu Chuanwu lowered his voice back to a calm tone and continued, âThe mainstream view now is that without genetic fusion or mechanical modification, humansâ potential is locked at an ordinary ninth rank.â
âBut in truth, itâs the genetic fusion and mechanical modification that truly lock the potential.â
âGenetic fusion, derived from exotic beasts, will never surpass exotic beasts, offers no future and will only end with humanityâs gradual defeat to the invasion of exotic beasts, resulting in extinction.â
âThe same goes for mechanically modified humans.â
âKeep in mind, many of the materials for mechanical modification come from the bodies of exotic beasts, again derived from exotic beasts, and thus cannot surpass them.â
Liu Chuanwu, feeling a bit thirsty from talking, took a sip of sugary water and then continued, âTianren Pavilion doesnât oppose genetic fusion and mechanical modification, but opposes putting all our bets on these two alone.â
âI believe the right approach is to rely on genetic fusion and mechanical modification to hold out initially, and during this period, research other paths to prepare for the later stages.â
âAnd developing the potential of pureblood humans is a path worth investing resources to research.â
Having talked so much and for so long, seeing that it was almost time, Liu Chuanwu went straight to the point, âLin Zichen, I sincerely invite you to join Tianren Pavilion, to work together for the future of humanity!â
âI am convinced that you can become the first pureblood human to break the shackles of the ordinary ranks!â
The pitch was finally complete.
Unfortunately, my heart was utterly unmovedâ¦
Thinking this, Lin Zichen did not respond to Liu Chuanwuâs invitation but curiously asked, âYouâve talked about the Body Refining Technique for so long, what exactly is this Body Refining Technique?â
Seeing Lin Zichen ask this, Liu Chuanwu thought he was interested in joining Tianren Pavilion and enthusiastically explained with a smile on his face:
âThe Body Refining Technique of Tianren Pavilion refers to the âBlood Tempering Technique,â which comes from an ancient ruin.â
âAs the name suggests, âBlood Tempering Techniqueâ is about using Qi-Blood to refine the body, strengthen the flesh, and enhance oneâs combat abilities.â
âThe records in the ruins state that when the âBlood Tempering Techniqueâ is cultivated to its highest realm, one can achieve a holy body, fly to the heavens and tunnel into the earth, and have fists that can break mountains and rivers. In modern terms, it means having the ability to rip apart steel beasts with the body of a human.â
âHowever, the âBlood Tempering Techniqueâ can only be practiced by pureblood humans.â
âGenetic integrators have impurities in their blood, which is not pure, and they cannot practice it.â
âItâs the same with mechanically modified humans; their bodies are not whole, and Qi-Blood cannot circulate throughout, so they canât practice it either.â
âAside from the Blood Tempering Technique, other Body Refining Techniques unearthed from the ruins are also only practicable by pureblood humans.â
âThis is why we firmly believe that only pure blood humans have a future, while Genetic Integrators and Mechanically Modified Humans do not.â
After finishing, Liu Chuanwu asked again, âLin Zichen, would you like to join our Tianren Pavilion, practice the Blood Tempering Technique, and follow the Pureblood Human Path?â
Lin Zichen politely declined, âI feel that I still know too little about the so-called pure blood humans, so Iâll just wait and watch for now.â
Liu Chuanwu earnestly advised, âYou could join us for a year on a trial basis. If after a year you feel itâs not suitable, you could still choose Genetic Fusion. But once you choose Genetic Fusion, your blood will no longer be pure and youâll be unable to practice the Blood Tempering Technique.â
âI still want to take my time to understand more,â Lin Zichen again refused.
Liu Chuanwu, not giving up, once again persuaded, âReally, Lin Zichen, your physical talents are so high, it would be such a waste if you didnât at least try the Pureblood Human Path.â
âIn our eyes at Tianren Pavilion, that student with a 16% Genetic Fusion compatibility from Nanjiang Province isnât worth mentioning in front of you, not even comparable to a hair on your body.â
âWeâve always believed that you, with the top biometric data, are the true top scholar of Nanjiang Province.â
âIf you choose the Genetic Fusion Path and compete with her, you might not outperform her, but if you decide to follow the Pureblood Human Path, youâll definitely crush her in the later stages!â
While delivering this last sentence, Liu Chuanwu involuntarily raised his voice a little.
Shen Qinghan felt extremely awkward upon hearing this.
She pondered how she had been sitting there the whole time without saying a word or provoking anyone, yet she had been shot while lying down.
Lin Zichen was unaware if Shen Qinghan felt awkward, but he knew Liu Chuanwu was about to feel extremely embarrassed.
âThat student with a 16% Genetic Fusion compatibility from the province, thatâs her.â He pointed towards Shen Qinghan sitting beside him and said to Liu Chuanwu.
Liu Chuanwu was initially stunned, then so embarrassed he could have drilled a hole in the floor that would fit a three-room apartment.
Seeing the half-hour deadline had arrived, Lin Zichen stood up with a smile and said, âThank you for the mobile phone and the sweet drink, but half an hour is up, and we have other matters to attend to, so weâll be leaving now.â
After finishing, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were about to leave.
Liu Chuanwu became anxious. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He had been recruiting for so many years and Lin Zichen was the first talent he had encountered who was willing to talk with him for so long.
He felt there was a chance to invite Lin Zichen to join Tianren Pavilion and did not want to give up this opportunity.
Therefore, in desperation, he shouted to Lin Zichen as he was about to leave:
âHalf a year, just join us for half a year to give it a try!â
âDuring this period, weâll offer you double the benefits that Evolution College provides you!â
âNo, double is not enough, weâll give you triple!â
Normally, students at Evolution College start their first Genetic Fusion at the end of the first semester of their freshman year.
Joining for just half a year would not conflict with Genetic Fusion, so he thought Lin Zichen would agree.
Triple?!
Upon hearing this, Lin Zichenâs eyes lit up, and he immediately turned back and sat down in his seat, saying very seriously,
âAs you know, Iâve always had great respect for the philosophy of Tianren Pavilion, Iâve decided to bring my talent to Tianren Pavilion and contribute to the cause of pure blood humans!â
Whether the philosophy of Tianren Pavilion was right or wrong, he wasnât sure.
The one thing he could be sure of at the moment was that being someone with the Biometric Attribute [Survival of the Fittest], he didnât need to follow the path of Genetic Fusion.
Therefore, now that Tianren Pavilion promised to provide triple the benefits, he had no reason not to join.
Such a teachable young man!
Seeing Lin Zichenâs decision to join Tianren Pavilion, Liu Chuanwu couldnât help but show a look of admiration.
Then came a sharp pang in his heart.
Offering three times the benefits to this kid, how much funding would that require?
Sigh, it seems he would have to shamelessly approach wealthy women for fundraising again.
He hoped that the kid would prove to be impressive and that in the coming half-year, he would bring some breakthroughs to their research.
Otherwise, it would be a lossâ¦
While Liu Chuanwu was thinking about all this, Lin Zichen suddenly remembered a previous doubt.
He looked at Liu Chuanwu and curiously asked, âBy the way, I have a question Iâd like to ask, do you know what Origin Land is?â
How did this kid come to know about Origin Land?
Liu Chuanwu felt puzzled but wasnât overly concerned and quickly replied, âThatâs a place believed to be the cradle of life, the exotic beasts that exist on Earth all come from Origin Land.â
