Chapter 136: Stranger

After testing the effect of [Quick Self-Healing].

Lin Zichen did not castrate himself to verify his bold idea.

Instead, he went out to the research institute.

Start a new day of learning the text of Blood Tempering Technique.

As soon as Lin Zichen walked into the research institute, Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan surrounded him and asked him about the Catwoman mission.

On Saturday night, Liu Chuanwu saw Ma Zhenhe go to see Director He, who was in charge of the task system.

I saw the two of them started arguing after a disagreement.

In the end, they even took direct action.

The matter became a big deal.

The reason for such a big fuss was that the information about the Catwoman mission accepted by Ma Zhenhe's daughter was seriously wrong.

Catwoman's true strength is ordinary level nine, but the mission says ordinary level six, a full three levels short. She almost killed Ma Zhenhe's daughter, and Ma Zhenhe was so angry that he quickly went to find Director He to settle the score.

Director He also had a bad temper. He said that it was normal for the task to have errors, and was dissatisfied with Ma Zhenhe making a fuss over nothing. He started to fight with him while arguing.

Afterwards, Liu Chuanwu returned to the research institute to share this interesting story with Song Yuyan, and then learned from Song Yuyan that Lin Zichen had also accepted the Catwoman mission and completed it, which greatly aroused the curiosity of the two.

"Zi Chen, that catwoman's biological level is as high as ordinary level nine, and your biological level is only ordinary level six. How did you complete this task?"

Liu Chuanwu was puzzled.

Song Yuyan, who was standing by, thought about how she had previously said that she would accompany Lin Zichen to do the mission for free and that there would be no need to divide the credits afterwards, but Lin Zichen politely declined.

In response to this, she speculated, "Zichen, do you have any powerful relatives in your family who accompanied you on that catwoman mission? That's why you were able to kill a catwoman whose biological level was as high as the ordinary ninth level?"

Facing their curiosity, Lin Zichen told the truth: "No one helped me. I killed the cat girl alone."

"Your biological level is only an ordinary level six. How did you manage to kill an ordinary level nine catwoman alone? Are you sure you are not kidding?"

Liu Chuanwu was full of disbelief, thinking that Lin Zichen must be joking.

But when I thought about it carefully, I felt that Lin Zichen was not the kind of person who would make such a joke, and I was immediately confused.

"Did you set a trap?"

Song Yuyan thought about it and felt that if Lin Zichen was not joking, then he must have set a trap and used the trap to defeat the strong with the weak.

However, Lin Zichen unexpectedly said, "No, it was a one-on-one duel the whole time. I killed her purely by relying on my physical strength."

He said this calmly, but the two people who listened were very uneasy.

Killed Catwoman solely by relying on physical strength?

What's the meaning?

Are you still hiding your strength?

Liu Chuanwu suddenly thought of this and asked with a quickened breath, "Zichen, you're not going to tell me that you're actually hiding your strength, are you?"

"Well, I hid it. Actually, my real strength is just ordinary ninth level."

After he finished speaking, Lin Zichen's eyes narrowed, and he instantly released a biological pressure as high as the ordinary ninth level, which made the hair of the two people in front of him fly.

H-How is this possible?!

Feeling the powerful pressure emanating from Lin Zichen, Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan were dumbfounded, both of them staring blankly, as dumbfounded as wooden chickens.

Lin Zichen's biological level is actually as high as the ordinary ninth level?!

He is just a freshman who just started school!

This is not scientific at all!

Looking at the two people who were stunned in place, Lin Zichen calmly said: "In fact, as early as the summer vacation, I had already completed the first body tempering, and now I am in the second skin tempering."

In front of Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan, he felt there was no need to hide his progress in body tempering.

After all, this is just one of many trump cards, and an inconspicuous one at that.

If exposing this trump card brings more benefits than disadvantages, then it can be exposed in exchange for benefits.

After spending these days together, I have a better understanding of Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan.

Lin Zichen felt that the two men were decent people and could be trusted, and that exposing his body tempering progress in front of them would be beneficial.

Advantages: In the future, he can let Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan help him study the acupoints to open the acupoints.

Harmless place: Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan will definitely not expose his body tempering progress to outsiders, and will ensure that only the three people in the research institute know about it.

In short, today's showdown was the result of Lin Zichen's careful consideration over the weekend.

"I have accomplished the body tempering in one go?!"

After hearing what Lin Zichen said, Liu Chuanwu was stunned.

After a moment of reaction, he became very excited and laughed out loud, "Haha, God will not let down those who work hard, God will not let down those who work hard!"

"My years of persistence, Liu Chuanwu, have finally paid off!"

"Zi Chen, with you here, the pure-blooded humans will surely achieve great success. By then, your name, and the name of Tianren Pavilion, will surely shock the world!"

At this moment, Liu Chuanwu felt like he was dreaming.

He painstakingly studied pure-blooded humans for many years, until his family fell into poverty and his wife and children left him, and he still couldn't make any significant progress.

Finally, on this day many years later, he met a peerless genius who was extremely suitable for the blood quenching technique!

With such a peerless genius leading the way, pure-blooded humans will surely shine brightly on Earth and become the most powerful weapon for human salvation!

This is it - God rewards hard work!

After calming down for a moment.

Liu Chuanwu looked at Lin Zichen and said with a smile: "Zichen, your physical talent is really exaggerated. If you didn't have any source power in your body, I would have suspected that you were an alien from the source land."

"The aliens in the source land?"

Lin Zichen felt that he had heard some extraordinary information.

Liu Chuanwu explained: "Since there are strange beasts in this world, then correspondingly, there must be strange people. However, strange people are generally in the source land, not on Earth, so we can't encounter them at all."

"ah?"

Song Yuyan, who was standing by, said in surprise, "Do extraordinary people really exist?"

Although she had joined Tianren Pavilion for ten years, Liu Chuanwu had never told her about this.

For a moment, she felt that she was being treated differently. Lin Zichen told him about this as soon as he arrived, but I have been working in the research institute for ten years without telling me. How biased!

"Dean, what is source power?"

Lin Zichen grasped the key words and was curious about it.

Liu Chuanwu stroked his beard and replied, "Source power is a type of energy unique to the creatures of the Source Land, similar to Qi, blood, and spirit."

Similar to qi, blood and spirit?

Lin Zichen asked again: "How can the source power be used? What are the specific effects?"

Liu Chuanwu said, "I'm a little confused about this. After all, I've lived for so many years and have only come into contact with two extraordinary people."

Song Yuyan asked with some confusion: "Dean, where did you meet this alien? Your biological level has been stuck at the ordinary ninth level, and you can't enter the source land at all."

"Sister Yan, are there any requirements for entering the source area?"

"Yes, the standard set by the higher-ups is that if you want to enter the source area, your biological level must be high, otherwise you will just be cannon fodder."

"I see."

Lin Zichen nodded, having gained new knowledge.

Song Yuyan looked at Liu Chuanwu and urged, "Dean, you haven't told us where you met the strange person yet."

Liu Chuanwu replied, "I met them both on Earth. One is a female disciple my ex-wife took in from somewhere ten years ago. The other was encountered in a mysterious, ancient ruin, the same one where the Blood Tempering Technique was discovered."

"Found it in the ruins?" Song Yuyan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Could it be a dead body lying in a coffin?"

"He was indeed lying in a coffin."

After saying this, Liu Chuanwu solemnly warned the two of them, "The secrets I'm telling you today must not be spread outside. You must keep them confidential, understand?"

Song Yuyan patted her chest proudly and assured: "Don't worry, Dean, I'm very tight-lipped and have never leaked any secrets."

"Well, I believe you."

Liu Chuanwu nodded and looked at Lin Zichen. His expression was even more serious than before as he warned, "Zichen, regarding your strength, at this stage, you must not exaggerate or over-exaggerate it beyond the world's understanding. Otherwise, you will definitely be targeted by the pagans and bring unnecessary danger upon yourself."

"It's dangerous even in school."

"Paganism is so pervasive these days that no one can say for sure if there are any pagans among the upper echelons of humanity."

Liu Chuanwu gave an example: "More than forty years ago, there was a vice president of Beijing University who was actually a pagan. When he led a team into the source area, he set up a trap and killed everyone in the team. It almost brought Beijing University to its knees, and it took almost ten years to recover."

Song Yuyan was a little surprised when she heard this: "I was born and raised in Kyoto. I didn't even know about such a big thing happening at Kyoto University."

"It's normal that you don't know. This matter was suppressed very tightly back then. If there were no information channels, it would be impossible to know."

After saying that, Liu Chuanwu looked at Lin Zichen again and suggested to him, "Zichen, if you want to take on tasks that match your abilities and earn credits in the future, use your sister Yan's account to do so."

"Your sister Yan's biological level is the same as yours, an ordinary ninth level. Use her account to accept missions. You can fully display your strength during the mission without worrying about your strength being exposed."

"When you, as a pure-blooded human, break free from the shackles of ordinary levels and evolve into a higher-level creature, I will find you a backer who can protect you. Then you can show off your talents and make a splash."

Lin Zichen: "Okay, I understand."

Song Yuyan asked curiously, "Dean, you've mentioned this backer many times. Who exactly is he?"

Liu Chuanwu: "It's not convenient to talk about this now. When Zichen breaks through the shackles of ordinary levels with his pure-blooded human body, you will naturally know."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Zichen looked at Liu Chuanwu and said, "Dean, do you have any information related to the Origin? I want to learn more about it."

Whether it is strange beasts, strange people, or strange religions, they are all inseparable from their source.

This made him curious about the source.

Liu Chuanwu shook his head: "I don't have any information on this. Everything about the source has always been confidential."

"My current understanding of the origin is basically from my ex-wife and some records in the ruins."

"But you don't have to rush to learn. Before the biological level evolves to a high level, knowing more about the origin will be of no use."

"Because you can't enter the source, your knowledge of the source is completely useless."

"For now, this is all you need to know. To us, the vast majority of creatures in the Origin Land are enemies. These enemies are constantly trying to invade Earth. As for why they want to invade Earth, some experts speculate that it's because Earth has something these Origin Land creatures desire."

As he finished saying the last sentence, the cell phone in Liu Chuanwu's pocket rang.

As soon as the call was connected, a charming woman's voice came from the other end.

Sounds like he's in his early forties.

Liu Chuanwu walked aside and started chatting and laughing with the woman on the phone.

After chatting for a short while, he hung up the phone and came back to tell Lin Zichen and Song Yuyan, "An old lover of many years asked me to have dinner with her. I won't be staying at the institute any longer. If you have anything, please contact me on WeChat."

After saying this, he left the institute in a hurry.

"The dean is really hardworking. He's helping Tianren Pavilion attract investment again."

Looking at Liu Chuanwu's hurried departure, Song Yuyan couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Zichen didn't feel anything. He walked silently to the sofa in front and sat down, lost in thought.

Strange beasts, strange people, strange religions, source power...

All of the above elements are inseparable from their origin.

What exactly is the origin?
