Evolving infinitely from ground zero

The benefits of this are far more significant than the threefold benefits given away.

Song Yuyan also saw Lin Zichen’s approval of the Tianren Pavilion’s ideals and her fondness for him grew immensely. She beamed like a blooming flower and said,

“I like you, junior. Come, Sister Yan will teach you how to perform Tempering Skin. I guarantee you that you’ll finish one cycle of skin-tempering in your first semester of freshman year, and then, while the students from Evolution College and Mechanical Academy have yet to grow, you can brutally thrash them with your powerful flesh and blood!”

Lin Zichen replied indifferently, “No need, I’ve already completed a cycle of skin tempering during the summer vacation.”

Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan both had question marks floating over their heads, at first thinking there was something wrong with their ears.

Lin Zichen’s words were akin to a young child who had just learned to speak, telling their parents that they had learned calculus, which was shocking.

Song Yuyan was the first to react, saying, “You must be joking. You were by yourself at home during the summer vacation, with no one to teach you skin tempering. It would’ve been great if you could even master blood control, so how could you possibly learn skin tempering, and to temper your full skin at that!”

Lin Zichen explained, “The translated version of the Blood Tempering Technique had detailed annotations; I studied it for a few days and learned how to temper skin.”

Studied it for a few days? Not quite.

In truth, it only took half an hour to learn blood control, and then he intuitively mastered the technique of skin tempering.

“Zi Chen, you must be mistaken; you might think you’ve done skin tempering, but you actually haven’t.” Liu Chuanwu, too, was incredulous and after speaking, insisted, “Come on, stretch out your hand and let me see, I need to confirm it.”

Lin Zichen didn’t hurry to extend his hand but instead, with a thought, used the Biometric Attributes [Natural Camouflage] to disguise his biological status.

Biological Level disguised as Common Tier Five.

Body Refining progress disguised as one cycle of Tempering Skin.

During the summer vacation, he had not skimped on researching his nine biometric attributes.

After some research, he discovered that the [Natural Camouflage] attribute could not only hide his vitality to conceal his Biological Level but also mask other states of his body.

After camouflaging his attribute status, Lin Zichen extended his right hand for Liu Chuanwu to examine.

Liu Chuanwu grabbed his arm, and after briefly feeling and pinching it, his face was immediately covered in shock, expressing disbelief, “How can this be possible, it’s really one cycle of skin tempering!”

Hearing this, Song Yuyan quickly stepped forward to feel Lin Zichen’s arm as well.

When she discovered that Lin Zichen truly had undergone one cycle of skin tempering, her entire world was rocked, her face filled with doubt about life itself, “What’s going on, how did you do this, this is completely unlike biology!”

Liu Chuanwu took a deep breath, steadied his emotions, and with trembling lips, asked, “Zi Chen, what is your Biological Level now?”

“Common Tier Five.”

Lin Zichen answered calmly.

Upon hearing this answer, Liu Chuanwu could no longer suppress the excitement within him, his face bursting with exhilaration as he loudly exclaimed towards Lin Zichen,

“A genius, a peerless genius!”

“Secure, the Pureblood Human Path is secured!”

“Haha, with you here, the body of a Pure Blood Human will definitely break the shackles of ordinary creatures and evolve into an Advanced-level Creature!”

While Liu Chuanwu was getting excited, Song Yuyan felt somewhat deflated to the side.

She couldn’t figure it out, and looking towards Liu Chuanwu, she asked, “Director, what’s going on? His physical talent clearly isn’t as high as mine. Why is his practice of the Blood Tempering Technique so much more effective than mine?”

Liu Chuanwu calmed himself once more and after thinking a bit, he explained,

“In this case, it can only be said that Zi Chen is highly compatible with the Blood Tempering Technique, just like how Genetic Fusion and mechanical modifications have compatibility, practicing the Blood Tempering Technique also has compatibility.”

Practicing the Blood Tempering Technique has compatibility too? Was there such a thing?

Song Yuyan’s emotions were complicated.

She had always believed that as a martial arts prodigy, she would definitely lead others on the Pureblood Human Path in the future and become a pioneer of Pure Blood Humans.

However, she was now witnessing someone who was even more suitable for the Pureblood Human Path than herself, and it unavoidably left her feeling a bit disheartened.

But that feeling of disappointment vanished in a flash, replaced by excitement and eagerness.

Who was more suited for the Pureblood Human Path wasn’t important at all.

What mattered was that someone could pioneer the Pureblood Human Path, leading everyone to go further.

Rather than she herself pioneering and spending a lifetime stuck at the Ordinary Ninth Rank without evolving, it would be far better to honestly follow behind Lin Zichen, treading the path he’d walked—easier and less trouble.

As for the role of pioneer, it was trivial compared to evolving into an Advanced-level Creature!

Having realized this, Song Yuyan looked towards Liu Chuanwu with excitement and said eagerly,

“Director, we should quickly publicize Zi Chen’s potential to attract more geniuses to Tianren Pavilion and get more funding!”

Liu Chuanwu waved his hand and said, “Not at all; let’s keep the news of Zi Chen being highly suitable for the Pureblood Human Path between the three of us for now.”

“Why, Director?”

Song Yuyan was puzzled.

Liu Chuanwu explained, “Previously, I publicly promoted Tianren Pavilion to recruit geniuses, but now that we have the right genius, there is no need to continue publicizing and recruiting. It takes too much time and energy, wasting time we could use for research.”

“It’s not about having a lot of geniuses, but about having the right ones. Too many people might not necessarily lead to a qualitative change, but it will certainly dilute our resources.”
