Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Chapter 137: 115, a peerless genius_2

It seems the style of this research institute is all about being “outdated.”

But thinking about it, that makes sense, given that the Pureblood Human Path inherently has archaeological traits.

All the related objects are excavated from ruins.

It’s not like Genetic Fusion and mech transformation, which are all about high-tech.

“Director, you look so haggard, how long have you been cooped up in there without coming out?”

Song Yuyan casually picked a chair to sit down on, slinging her legs over the arm in a carefree manner, and looked at Liu Chuanwu as if it were all normal.

Liu Chuanwu said listlessly, “Almost half a month now, constantly researching the content of the Blood Tempering Technique initiation chapters. Sadly, there’s still no progress, it’s a bit tough to handle.”

“Ah, it’s mainly the lack of support from martial arts geniuses.”

“The current state of the Pureblood Human Path still relies on martial arts geniuses with extremely high bodily talents to break new ground.”

“If the talent isn’t there, it just isn’t, more people won’t bring about a qualitative change.”

“However, now that Zi Chen has joined, the Pureblood Human Path will definitely make great progress.”

Liu Chuanwu smiled and began to introduce Song Yuyan to Lin Zichen, saying, “Don’t be fooled by your Sister Yan’s casual appearance, she was once the second top scorer in the Capital City’s college entrance examination.”

“It’s only with your Sister Yan’s contribution that the Pureblood Human Path has made significant strides these years.”

“The biggest development was helping me, who had been stuck at the second Body Refining for decades, to successfully complete the third Body Refining eight years ago, achieving the feat of an Ordinary Ninth Rank Pure Blood Human crushing a higher, lower-rank Genetic Integrator.”

As he said this, Liu Chuanwu’s eyes were full of gratitude for Song Yuyan.

If Song Yuyan hadn’t given up the Genetic Integrator path and resolutely chosen to join Tianren Pavilion to shine, it would’ve likely ceased to exist by now.

“Surprising, right? Back in the day, I was the second top scorer in the Capital City’s college entrance exam!”

Song Yuyan looked at Lin Zichen with a teasing smile and said, “My physical test scores back then were even higher than yours. Feeling a bit outdone?”

“Okay, we get it, you’re amazing, don’t demoralize the younger generation,” Liu Chuanwu glanced at Song Yuyan, then turned to Lin Zichen to reassure him:

“Zi Chen, although your physical test data from the high school exams wasn’t as good as your Sister Yan’s, that was just an exam. Life is so long, and there are plenty of examples of accumulating knowledge to achieve success later on. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to surpass Sister Yan, I have high hopes for you.”

Jokingly, I’m the Capital City’s top second placer – how could a Nanjiang Province’s high school top scorer compare to me?

Song Yuyan watched with a carefree demeanor, but deep down she was quite proud.

However, as much as she thought about it, she still said with a smile, “The Director is right, as long as you accumulate enough, it’s very possible to rise to the top. Surpassing me isn’t impossible.”

Tianren Pavilion had finally recruited a martial arts genius; they needed to cherish him, offering plenty of encouragement so he wouldn’t leave dissatisfied.

Liu Chuanwu looked at Lin Zichen and asked, “By the way, how is your progress with the Blood Tempering Technique I gave you over the summer break? Have you learned to control your blood?”

Lin Zichen: “I’ve learned it.”

Liu Chuanwu asked again, “Has your Biological Level evolved to Ordinary Fourth Order?”

Lin Zichen: “Yeah, it has.”

Liu Chuanwu, very satisfied, smiled and said, “Good, you’ve learned blood control and your Biological Level has evolved to Ordinary Fourth Order. Starting today, you can begin Tempering Skin.”

“Next, let your Sister Yan guide you on how to do it.

“Aim to complete Tempering Skin by the first semester of your freshman year, and then start on Tempering Flesh during the winter break.”

“Like your Sister Yan, she successfully completed Tempering Skin in less than three months as a freshman. She has quite a bit of experience and insights on that front, and with her guidance, you will surely complete Tempering Skin smoothly in your first semester of college.”

“Also, your Sister Yan is one of the most skilled instructors at the Martial Arts College. When it comes to teaching, no one dare claim they’re first if she says she’s second. With her guidance, you will avoid many detours.”

“Therefore, over the same period, you’re likely to go further on the Pureblood Human Path than she has.”

Liu Chuanwu, afraid that Lin Zichen might be put off by the dilapidated state of Tianren Pavilion’s base and consider leaving, kept offering big promises to encourage him, praising him as a prodigy.

Lin Zichen saw his worry and caught on to the promises, simply saying, “Don’t worry, Director. As long as the triple benefits are realized, I will stay at Tianren Pavilion for all four years of college.”

Stay for four years?

Wasn’t it just for half a year?

Liu Chuanwu thought he had heard wrong and quickly asked to confirm, “You say you’re going to stay at Tianren Pavilion for four years?”

Lin Zichen: “As long as the triple benefits keep coming, I can stay in Tianren Pavilion as long.”

“Haha, that’s great!”

Liu Chuanwu was overjoyed: “As long as you stay committed to the Pureblood Human Path here at Tianren Pavilion, I promise you the triple benefits will always be there, and you won’t miss a thing!”

Originally he worried that Lin Zichen wouldn’t stay long, but now there was no need to. As long as there were triple benefits, he could keep him.

As for the issue of funding, it could be solved by spending time with a few old friends.

After calming down a bit, Liu Chuanwu quickly realized something.

Possibly, Lin Zichen’s statement that he would stay at Tianren Pavilion as long as there were triple benefits meant that he truly believed in the principles of Tianren Pavilion. Even without the triple benefits, he might have stayed anyway.

Asking for triple benefits was just taking advantage of the situation.

After all, if it’s free, why not take it?

Realizing this, Liu Chuanwu didn’t feel like he was at a loss, but rather that he had gained something instead.
