Pei Jinye finished his steamed buns and, not long after, returned to the back mountain with Tang Huoyang.

Tang Huoyang was still babbling nonstop, “Now everyone has two theories, first, that the laboratory was secretly established by the Old Gods Association. Second, that the laboratory was established by Sky God International. Do you know why? You should ask me, ask me quickly.”

Pei Jinye:

Reluctantly he said, “You tell me.”

With one hand, he lifted a stone weighing hundreds of pounds as if he had no interest in these matters at all.

Tang Huoyang lowered his voice and said, “I’ve heard that the current rumor is that the rift between Sky God International and the Old Gods Association stemmed from such forbidden experiments. Previously it was genetic experiments, now it’s biochemical experiments, and who knows what other unknown forbidden experiments there could be….”

“Xinghua Construction originally announced bankruptcy last year. Sky God International expressed interest at the beginning of this year, but surprisingly, they never came to an agreement. It’s said that a high-level executive of Xinghua Construction was against it….”

“However, as far as I know, this executive died in a climbing accident two months ago. Whether it was really an accident, we can’t say.”

Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye did not understand and said, “Why are they so keen on these forbidden experiments?”

Tang Huoyang curled his lips: “Apart from some with ulterior motives who fantasize about destroying the world, there are also some pitiful people who dream of changing their destiny…. And most of these people are ordinary human beings.”

Pei Jinye seemed to think of something.

Tang Huoyang said with a meaningful tone, “Ever since the Federation’s Intelligent Brain [Star Ring] was established and set up humanity’s barrier, the Gene Age unfolded…. The Transcendent emerged too, but not everyone could awaken as Transcendents, which prompted a part of the population to become unsettled.”

“Even some animals can awaken, and they think it’s the creator’s unfairness, so they attempt to change themselves through genetic technology…. I’ve heard many such stories, but hardly any of them are successful….These people either die on the spot during the experiment or end up sinking into a state where they become neither human nor ghost, a monstrous existence…. It’s also quite sad.”

Pei Jinye fell into thought, “Then according to your logic, both Sky God International and the Old Gods Association are interested in these experiments, but they are both comprised of Transcendents, aren’t they?”

Tang Huoyang fell silent and, after a moment, carefully said, “Have you heard of the [Sacred Ruins Mountain Talks]?”

Pei Jinye shook his head.

Seeing this, Tang Huoyang glanced around, pulled Pei Jinye to a small grove in the back mountain, and then said in a low voice, “Not many outsiders know about this; I also heard it from my brother…. Many years ago, several big shots arrived at Sacred Ruins Mountain, including high-ranking officials from the Federation and representatives from various powers, supposedly also including previous generations of leaders from Sky God International and the chief of the Old Gods Association. They discussed one issue then: whether human beings could possibly awaken as Multi-System Extraordinaries.”

Pei Jinye’s gaze suddenly became serious, “So what did they say?”

“What else could they say? These were the elite of humanity, and even they were unable to awaken as Dual or Multi-System Extraordinaries. The leader of the Old Gods Association then brought up the subject of genetic experiments and candidly admitted that the Old Gods Association had already embarked on such experiments, using death-row inmates….”

Tang Huoyang sighed, “It’s said that the leader of Sky God International berated this behavior at that time…. The matter eventually reached the Intelligent Brain [Star Ring], and the verdict given by [Star Ring] was almost an impossibility…. I don’t know the specifics…. But afterward, the Old Gods Association was besieged by the Federation….”

Pei Jinye fell into thought.

If it truly were possible to awaken as a multi-system Transcendent, and if it were fairly common, then he would no longer need to be on tenterhooks.

But he knew clearly now.

Even if it were true, he wouldn’t rush to acknowledge it.

A drop of ink in a glass of water is too conspicuous.

Tang Huoyang was still talking about something, but Pei Jinye could no longer listen. He didn’t know what his future held, but getting stronger was now the imperative.

As for the Intelligent Brain [Star Ring]…. To Pei Jinye at present, it felt far too distant from ordinary people.

“What is the relationship between [Star Ring] and Xing Tian?”

Startled by the question, Tang Huoyang then replied without hesitation, “When [Star Ring] was upgrading years ago, it placed one of its subsystems in each of the Five Continents to protect human beings. It remained at its main base to upgrade and self-check. These years, Xing Tian and the other four subsystems have performed well, so they have not been recalled….”

Pei Jinye nodded thoughtfully.

All of a sudden, Tang Huoyang clicked his tongue.

Pei Jinye looked over, puzzled.

“I just remembered something,” Tang Huoyang said in a low voice. “Someone has exaggerated your recent encounters with Sun Ruofan and reported it to Fang Tianjian.”

Pei Jinye frowned, “What do you mean?”

Tang Huoyang whispered, “Fang Tianjian has been chasing Sun Ruofan, but the girl isn’t interested, and Fang Tianjian doesn’t dare to show his feelings due to her father’s status. Now, someone seems to be targeting you, so they exaggerated the story and told it to Fang Tianjian, and that kid said a lot of inappropriate things last night.”

Pei Jinye looked over.

Tang Huoyang chuckled, “Who doesn’t have a few friends these days. If someone can spill the beans to him, someone else can spill them to me. But honestly… brother, I really can’t beat Fang Tianjian.”

Pei Jinye silently looked at him.

Tang Huoyang raised his hands, “I’m a waste, okay, no need to scold anymore.”

Pei Jinye didn’t really take the Fang Tianjian matter to heart.

After exfoliating, his strength had increased significantly.

Of course, this couldn’t have happened without obtaining the Strength Attribute Fragments… they added quite a bit.

On the other hand.

Having witnessed Teacher Chang’s skills firsthand, he was increasingly finding that by compressing blood energy in its purest form and using it with the Technique “Quake”, it could enhance the explosive force of his power by several times!

Right now, he was still researching how to materialize the first Blood Qi Lotus.

Half past eleven in the noon.

Pei Jinye and Tang Huoyang had just left the back mountain when two boys guarding the entrance of the martial arts field looked at each other and then left their spots.

“I chatted with Uncle Three, I’ll head over now, is there anything you don’t eat?”

“I’m good with blood-nourishing stuff.”

“…All right then.”

When Tang Huoyang arrived at the entrance, he didn’t see the sedan, so he immediately called the chauffeur to ask where he had parked the car.

The chauffeur’s phone was unreachable.

Tang Huoyang’s expression changed.

“What’s going on?” Pei Jinye looked over.

Tang Huoyang said gravely, “I can’t get in touch with my driver, wait, I’ll make a call to ask about it.”

Pei Jinye nodded.

Tang Huoyang called a friend who worked in public service, looked around, and then said, “It’s in Hibiscus Lane… yes, check outside the lane… okay, I’ll wait for your news, he told me he would arrive shortly just five minutes ago.”

It barely took ten seconds.

Tang Huoyang had already found out that the reason his chauffeur hadn’t arrived was that both the man and his car had been towed away by the traffic authority.

“What the fuck!” Tang Huoyang cursed furiously.

The friend on the phone said, “Old Tang, there’s something fishy about this. Your driver had been here for less than five minutes, which strictly speaking isn’t a violation… it’s more like someone is timing this to mess with you.”

“Chaotically, check for me who the bastard is playing tricks on me!”
