"Qinghan, you clearly walk the path of Genetic Fusion, how could Ye Zhou's leader say you are following the Pureblood Human Path?"

"Han Han, Ye Zhou's leader just said that you've undergone Body Refining once, what's that about? Your skin looks soft and supple, like it could be broken with the flick of a finger. That doesn't seem like skin that has been tempered."

Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan stood in front of Shen Qinghan with puzzled expressions, asking questions in turn.

Shen Qinghan didn't know whether to answer or not.

She also didn't know how to answer.

Eventually, she could only look at Lin Zichen helplessly, hoping he would help her out of the predicament.

Lin Zichen was used to this.

Quickly, he calmly explained for Shen Qinghan, "Han Han's constitution is very special. When the Exotic Beast Gene is injected into her body, it doesn't fuse with her genes but is controlled by them."

"After successfully controlling them, she can manipulate these controlled Exotic Beast Genes at will."

"With just a thought, she can activate these genes or put them into hibernation."

"When I saw that she hadn't fused with the Exotic Beast Gene and was still a Pure Blood Human, I taught her the Blood Tempering Technique to see if she could walk the Pureblood Human Path."

"Then, with the gene of the Azure Jellyfish King within her and the ability to control liquids at her command, she quickly learned the Blood Tempering Technique and successfully embarked on the Pureblood Human Path."

"Similarly, because of her ability to control liquids, her efficiency in practicing the Blood Tempering Technique for Body Refining is extremely high."

"It's almost as good as mine."

"She quickly achieved Body Tempering Great Accomplishment in one try."

"However, because her Biological Level is not high and her Qi-Blood strength is low, the quality of her Body Refining isn't adequate, resulting in the situation where even though she has achieved Body Tempering Great Accomplishment on her first try, her Biological Level is only that of an ordinary Sixth Order."

"Simply put—"

"With her feeble Qi-Blood strength, she originally wouldn't have been able to practice the Blood Tempering Technique."

"She could practice it only because she had the ability to control liquids and take shortcuts."

"And the cost of taking shortcuts is that the quality of Body Refining is significantly reduced."

After finishing, Lin Zichen added, "As for her skin looking like it could be broken with the flick of a finger, it is just that—it only looks that way. In reality, the strength of her skin has already reached the level where it's impervious to swords and spears."

After listening to Lin Zichen's explanation, Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan finally understood Shen Qinghan's situation.

Basically, Shen Qinghan could cultivate both paths, possessing the abilities of a Genetic Integrator while also cultivating the Blood Tempering Technique and walking the Pureblood Human Path.

For Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan, this was incredibly unbelievable and hard to accept as truth.

But the reality was right before their eyes, and they had no choice but to believe it.

Taking a moment to gather their thoughts,

Song Yuyan looked at Shen Qinghan and said, "Han Han, can I study your hand? I want to see if you've truly achieved Body Tempering Great Accomplishment in one go."

"Sure, you can,"

Shen Qinghan nodded obediently.

Seeing her consent, Song Yuyan quickly took one of her hands and began testing the strength of it, prodding and pinching.

Without testing, it was fine, but upon testing, she was suddenly filled with life's skepticism.

Shen Qinghan had truly achieved Body Tempering Great Accomplishment in one go.

Whether it was the skin, muscles, or bones, all showed clear signs of having been tempered.

At the same time, all had strength impervious to blades and spears.

But why, why did her skin feel so soft and smooth?

And why were her muscles not firm at all but rather too soft, with an excellent feel?

Normally, any part of the body that has been tempered by Qi-Blood would to some degree lose some beauty and feel, in exchange for increased strength.

So the question arises.

Why, even though Shen Qinghan has already achieved Body Tempering Great Accomplishment one time, did her body not lose even a hint of beauty and feel?

Does that make sense?

Obviously, it does not make sense, right?

Song Yuyan couldn't understand and could only look up at Shen Qinghan with puzzlement in her eyes, staring at her beautiful face that was unrealistically pretty, and asked, "Han Han, why is your skin so soft and smooth, and your muscles so supple, even though you've achieved Body Tempering Great Accomplishment?"

Without waiting for Shen Qinghan to answer, Lin Zichen spoke on her behalf, "It's due to her special constitution."

"What kind of miraculous constitution is this!"

Song Yuyan was incredibly envious, continuing to caress Shen Qinghan's hand lovingly while saying, "If only I had this kind of special constitution, I could save so much money on skincare products."

Hearing Song Yuyan mention saving money, even Lin Zichen found it difficult to keep a straight face.

This mixed-race beauty wasn't serious, was she?

To have such an incredible special constitution and only think about saving money on skincare products?

Where is the vision, the horizon, the dream?

No wonder even with an annual salary of a million, she still scrimped on rent and utilities, forcing herself to make do with an old and chaotic research institute for accommodation.

It seemed she was utterly obsessed with saving money.

While Lin Zichen was inwardly criticizing Song Yuyan,

Liu Chuanwu glanced at Yuan Dongzhi, hesitated for a moment, then finally took the plunge and said to Shen Qinghan, "Qinghan, since you're following the Pureblood Human Path, why don't you join our Tianren Pavilion?"

There in front of everyone, especially front of Yuan Dongzhi, he was trying to entice her disciple into joining Tianren Pavilion.

"What do you mean by this, Liu?"

Yuan Dongzhi's brows furrowed slightly, and she looked at Liu Chuanwu with displeasure as she questioned him.

Caught trying to poach his ex-wife's protégé in public, Liu Chuanwu lacked confidence, but thinking of the matter concerning the strengthening of Tianren Pavilion, he chose to assert boldly, "She hasn't fused with the Exotic Beast Gene; she's taken the Pureblood Human Path. It's only reasonable for her to join Tianren Pavilion."
