Chapter 244: 167. Yuan Dongzhi’s Co-optation

In a certain office.

Yuan Dongzhi looked at Lin Zichen, still feeling somewhat incredulous as she said, “Zi Chen, your performance in the third stage surprised me, even astonished me.”

“Only a freshman during winter break, not even 20 years old, relying solely on the body of a Pure Blood Human to possess strength that’s comparable to an Ordinary Ninth Order fighter, this is truly unheard of.”

“This level of power, even many seniors at Evolution College can’t reach it.”

“Before witnessing your punch sending a robot, whose strength is at the peak of the Ordinary Eighth Order, flying, I always thought you were irrational, that you shouldn’t walk the Pureblood Human Path, just squandering your talent.”

“Now, I feel that you really should walk the Pureblood Human Path, trying to break the world’s perceptions.”

“The path of a pioneer is always exceptionally hard in the early stages.”

“During this period, don’t be afraid of becoming mediocre, you must persist in going forward.”

Yuan Dongzhi spoke earnestly.

She wanted to see if the Pureblood Human Path that Liu Chuanwu had always believed in could truly become the path to salvation as he envisioned.

After listening to Yuan Dongzhi’s words, Lin Zichen nodded, “Hmm, I will keep going.”

“Zi Chen, would you mind if I check your body?”

After speaking, Yuan Dongzhi added, “It’s okay if it’s not convenient; you can completely refuse. After all, inspecting someone else’s body, trying to pry into their secrets, is a big taboo for evolvers.”

Then why ask?

Playing the open strategy game, huh?

Lin Zichen couldn’t help but complain inwardly, but in the end, he wanted to forge a good relationship with Yuan Dongzhi to facilitate obtaining her help in the future, so he calmly nodded, “It’s convenient.”

As he spoke, he applied “Natural Camouflage” to alter his physical state slightly, making his body appear more normal.

Suddenly.

Under the gaze of the female military officer and Shen Qinghan.

Yuan Dongzhi walked up to Lin Zichen, took his wrist in her hand, and with a thought, released her spiritual power into his body, carefully probing.

Then, an expression of incredulous shock immediately surfaced on her face.

Tempering Skin, flesh, and bones, all had been refined once!

It was a Body Tempering Great Accomplishment!

Biological Level as high as Ordinary Ninth Rank!

To say that the Biological Level is only Ordinary Eighth Rank, able to exert the power of an Ordinary Ninth Rank with the blessing of natural strength and the Blood Tempering Technique, it’s all lies!

The true strength is Ordinary Ninth Rank!

“How does the investigation look?”

The female military officer looked at Yuan Dongzhi and asked.

She noticed the fleeting shock on Yuan Dongzhi’s face and was very curious about the results of Yuan Dongzhi’s probe.

Gathering her thoughts, Yuan Dongzhi replied, “His Biological Level is only Ordinary Eighth Rank, but the robustness of his body can compare to that of a Genetic Integrator in the early stages of Ordinary Ninth Rank, which is quite shocking.”

She did not tell the truth, choosing to help Lin Zichen conceal his real Biological Level.

Even though she and the female military officer were close in their youth, she did not share the truth about Lin Zichen with her.

“Ordinary Eighth Rank, and the body’s strength can compare to a Genetic Integrator in the early stages of Ordinary Ninth Rank?”

The female military officer looked incredulous, “That’s too exaggerated. The Pureblood Human Path feels invincible when it comes to body strengthening. If it can indeed break free of the ordinary biological constraints, the future looks bright.”

In the time that followed.

Yuan Dongzhi and the female military officer took turns asking Lin Zichen questions.

Both of them knew the limits, only asking simple questions that didn’t involve any privacy issues.

For instance, how the Blood Tempering Technique is cultivated, what it feels like to cultivate it, and what resources are needed during the process.

Lin Zichen answered all these questions one by one.

About half an hour passed.

The conversation came to an end.

Lin Zichen didn’t stay long, leaving with Shen Qinghan.

Before returning to the dorm, they went to eat at the dining hall.

Upon entering the dining hall, they ran straight into Li Moyu and Luo Yongjian who had finished their meal.

Li Moyu asked curiously, “Lin Zichen, your strength is now so formidable, is it all because you improved through cultivating the Blood Tempering Technique?”

He had some understanding of the Pureblood Human Path researched by Liu Chuanwu and knew about the Blood Tempering Technique.

“Yes.”

Lin Zichen replied sparingly.

After getting this response, Li Moyu couldn’t help but feel some regret, “Just after the college entrance exams, President Liu also approached me, suggesting that I try the Pureblood Human Path.”

“But at that time I was full of prejudice against the Pureblood Human Path, not even considering it.”

“Now I think about it, I, whose bodily talent far surpassed my peers, should’ve tried it for about half a year.”

“If it didn’t work out, I could switch to the Genetic Fusion Path; if it did, what a windfall.”

“Unfortunately, I lacked foresight back then, my vision wasn’t long-term enough.”

“Otherwise, I might be as strong as you now, or possibly even stronger.”

Li Moyu spoke more regretfully, as if he was about to beat his chest in frustration.

He wished he could go back to right after the college entrance exams and accept Liu Chuanwu’s invitation to walk the Pureblood Human Path.

Lin Zichen just smiled and didn’t speak.

Regret not walking the Pureblood Human Path?

The fact is, you would have regretted if you did.

The Pureblood Human Path is not for everyone.

The cultivation of the Blood Tempering Technique has very high requirements for one’s bodily talent.

So high that without ‘cheating,’ it’s impossible to proceed.

A case in point is Song Yuyan; she was the second rank in the Beijing college entrance exams with extremely high talent.

After choosing the Pureblood Human Path, she’s now become mediocre.

If Li Moyu had chosen the Pureblood Human Path, most likely, he would have ended up the same as Song Yuyan.

…

At night.
