Chapter 105: 103, The origin of life_2
Translator: 549690339
This is the bond between childhood sweethearts who grew up together.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Lin Zichen saw a very unexpected name in Liu Chuanwu’s personal relationships column.
Ex-wife: Yuan Dongzhi.
Son: Yuan Xusheng
Daughter: Yuan Xiaoyi
Yuan Dongzhi?
Isn’t that Han Han’s cheap master?
What a coincidence?
Son Yuan Xusheng, Daughter Yuan Xiaoyi, did they change their last names to their mother’s after the divorce?
Liu Chuanwu seems a bit miserable…
The more Lin Zichen thought about it, the more he admired Liu Chuanwu.
With the combat power that Liu Chuanwu had just displayed in the video, if he had undergone genetic fusion when he was young, he probably would be at least at the same level as Yuan Dongzhi by now.
He wouldn’t need to shout joyfully to the sky after barely winning, bloodied, against an instructor at the school like he did in the video.
He wouldn’t need to be scorned every day while recruiting students everywhere.
Hmm?
Suddenly, Lin Zichen noticed something was off.
The profile pictures of Yuan Xusheng and Yuan Xiaoyi were both gray.
Are they both dead?
Lin Zichen wanted to click and see more about these two, but with Liu Chuanwu there, he curbed his curiosity and didn’t click.
After seeing that Lin Zichen finished browsing the encyclopedia, Liu Chuanwu smiled and said:
“Although I don’t look as young as other genetic integrators of the same age, being able to maintain my current appearance at nearly a hundred years old is enough to show that human potential is great, and that pureblood humans have a promising future.”
“It is also for this reason that Tianren Pavilion exists, and why so many aspiring individuals are willing to join Tianren Pavilion to explore the evolutionary path of pureblood humans,” he added.
As he said this, Liu Chuanwu’s tone suddenly became serious, “What is Tianren? To prevail over nature is to be a Tianren!”
“Here, ‘human’ refers to pureblood humans!”
After finishing, Liu Chuanwu lowered his voice back to a calm tone and continued, “The mainstream view now is that without genetic fusion or mechanical modification, humans’ potential is locked at an ordinary ninth rank.”
“But in truth, it’s the genetic fusion and mechanical modification that truly lock the potential.”
“Genetic fusion, derived from exotic beasts, will never surpass exotic beasts, offers no future and will only end with humanity’s gradual defeat to the invasion of exotic beasts, resulting in extinction.”
“The same goes for mechanically modified humans.”
“Keep in mind, many of the materials for mechanical modification come from the bodies of exotic beasts, again derived from exotic beasts, and thus cannot surpass them.”
Liu Chuanwu, feeling a bit thirsty from talking, took a sip of sugary water and then continued, “Tianren Pavilion doesn’t oppose genetic fusion and mechanical modification, but opposes putting all our bets on these two alone.”
“I believe the right approach is to rely on genetic fusion and mechanical modification to hold out initially, and during this period, research other paths to prepare for the later stages.”
“And developing the potential of pureblood humans is a path worth investing resources to research.”
Having talked so much and for so long, seeing that it was almost time, Liu Chuanwu went straight to the point, “Lin Zichen, I sincerely invite you to join Tianren Pavilion, to work together for the future of humanity!”
“I am convinced that you can become the first pureblood human to break the shackles of the ordinary ranks!”
The pitch was finally complete.
Unfortunately, my heart was utterly unmoved…
Thinking this, Lin Zichen did not respond to Liu Chuanwu’s invitation but curiously asked, “You’ve talked about the Body Refining Technique for so long, what exactly is this Body Refining Technique?”
Seeing Lin Zichen ask this, Liu Chuanwu thought he was interested in joining Tianren Pavilion and enthusiastically explained with a smile on his face:
“The Body Refining Technique of Tianren Pavilion refers to the ‘Blood Tempering Technique,’ which comes from an ancient ruin.”
“As the name suggests, ‘Blood Tempering Technique’ is about using Qi-Blood to refine the body, strengthen the flesh, and enhance one’s combat abilities.”
“The records in the ruins state that when the ‘Blood Tempering Technique’ is cultivated to its highest realm, one can achieve a holy body, fly to the heavens and tunnel into the earth, and have fists that can break mountains and rivers. In modern terms, it means having the ability to rip apart steel beasts with the body of a human.”
“However, the ‘Blood Tempering Technique’ can only be practiced by pureblood humans.”
“Genetic integrators have impurities in their blood, which is not pure, and they cannot practice it.”
“It’s the same with mechanically modified humans; their bodies are not whole, and Qi-Blood cannot circulate throughout, so they can’t practice it either.”
“Aside from the Blood Tempering Technique, other Body Refining Techniques unearthed from the ruins are also only practicable by pureblood humans.”
“This is why we firmly believe that only pure blood humans have a future, while Genetic Integrators and Mechanically Modified Humans do not.”
After finishing, Liu Chuanwu asked again, “Lin Zichen, would you like to join our Tianren Pavilion, practice the Blood Tempering Technique, and follow the Pureblood Human Path?”
Lin Zichen politely declined, “I feel that I still know too little about the so-called pure blood humans, so I’ll just wait and watch for now.”
Liu Chuanwu earnestly advised, “You could join us for a year on a trial basis. If after a year you feel it’s not suitable, you could still choose Genetic Fusion. But once you choose Genetic Fusion, your blood will no longer be pure and you’ll be unable to practice the Blood Tempering Technique.”
“I still want to take my time to understand more,” Lin Zichen again refused.
Liu Chuanwu, not giving up, once again persuaded, “Really, Lin Zichen, your physical talents are so high, it would be such a waste if you didn’t at least try the Pureblood Human Path.”
“In our eyes at Tianren Pavilion, that student with a 16% Genetic Fusion compatibility from Nanjiang Province isn’t worth mentioning in front of you, not even comparable to a hair on your body.”
“We’ve always believed that you, with the top biometric data, are the true top scholar of Nanjiang Province.”
“If you choose the Genetic Fusion Path and compete with her, you might not outperform her, but if you decide to follow the Pureblood Human Path, you’ll definitely crush her in the later stages!”
While delivering this last sentence, Liu Chuanwu involuntarily raised his voice a little.
Shen Qinghan felt extremely awkward upon hearing this.
She pondered how she had been sitting there the whole time without saying a word or provoking anyone, yet she had been shot while lying down.
Lin Zichen was unaware if Shen Qinghan felt awkward, but he knew Liu Chuanwu was about to feel extremely embarrassed.
“That student with a 16% Genetic Fusion compatibility from the province, that’s her.” He pointed towards Shen Qinghan sitting beside him and said to Liu Chuanwu.
Liu Chuanwu was initially stunned, then so embarrassed he could have drilled a hole in the floor that would fit a three-room apartment.
Seeing the half-hour deadline had arrived, Lin Zichen stood up with a smile and said, “Thank you for the mobile phone and the sweet drink, but half an hour is up, and we have other matters to attend to, so we’ll be leaving now.”
After finishing, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were about to leave.
Liu Chuanwu became anxious.
He had been recruiting for so many years and Lin Zichen was the first talent he had encountered who was willing to talk with him for so long.
He felt there was a chance to invite Lin Zichen to join Tianren Pavilion and did not want to give up this opportunity.
Therefore, in desperation, he shouted to Lin Zichen as he was about to leave:
“Half a year, just join us for half a year to give it a try!”
“During this period, we’ll offer you double the benefits that Evolution College provides you!”
“No, double is not enough, we’ll give you triple!”
Normally, students at Evolution College start their first Genetic Fusion at the end of the first semester of their freshman year.
Joining for just half a year would not conflict with Genetic Fusion, so he thought Lin Zichen would agree.
Triple?!
Upon hearing this, Lin Zichen’s eyes lit up, and he immediately turned back and sat down in his seat, saying very seriously,
“As you know, I’ve always had great respect for the philosophy of Tianren Pavilion, I’ve decided to bring my talent to Tianren Pavilion and contribute to the cause of pure blood humans!”
Whether the philosophy of Tianren Pavilion was right or wrong, he wasn’t sure.
The one thing he could be sure of at the moment was that being someone with the Biometric Attribute [Survival of the Fittest], he didn’t need to follow the path of Genetic Fusion.
Therefore, now that Tianren Pavilion promised to provide triple the benefits, he had no reason not to join.
Such a teachable young man!
Seeing Lin Zichen’s decision to join Tianren Pavilion, Liu Chuanwu couldn’t help but show a look of admiration.
Then came a sharp pang in his heart.
Offering three times the benefits to this kid, how much funding would that require?
Sigh, it seems he would have to shamelessly approach wealthy women for fundraising again.
He hoped that the kid would prove to be impressive and that in the coming half-year, he would bring some breakthroughs to their research.
Otherwise, it would be a loss…
While Liu Chuanwu was thinking about all this, Lin Zichen suddenly remembered a previous doubt.
He looked at Liu Chuanwu and curiously asked, “By the way, I have a question I’d like to ask, do you know what Origin Land is?”
How did this kid come to know about Origin Land?
Liu Chuanwu felt puzzled but wasn’t overly concerned and quickly replied, “That’s a place believed to be the cradle of life, the exotic beasts that exist on Earth all come from Origin Land.”
