Back then, Lao Chen and Xu Shanji didn’t know each other.

Both of them are still young. After all, among the ranks of warriors, even those in their fifties or sixties are considered to be part of the younger generation.

Of course, this only depends on the individual's ability and level. If a person's highest martial arts talent can only sustain him to the level of a third or fourth-level warrior, for example...

Then there will not be any qualitative leap or gap between his age and that of ordinary people.

For him, this age is probably similar to that of a middle-aged person.

However, people like Xu Shanji and Lao Chen have shown outstanding talents since childhood, and one was born into a family that develops cutting-edge armor and has an outstanding spiritual level.

The other one comes from the Chen family, which has consistently produced generals who have defended the country throughout the ages.

Then, with their talent and strength, they have a lifespan of at least two hundred years old. For them, those in their forties or fifties are just young people, not even middle-aged adults.

The story of their acquaintance began with Lao Chen.

In fact, although Lao Chen has basically never been in a relationship in his life, he still remains a virgin.

But when he was young, he once had an opportunity, a chance for mutual love, but it was obstructed by someone with ulterior motives.

Coincidentally, the woman who developed a liking for Lao Chen was Xu Shanji's cousin.

Because of the martial arts reproductive restrictions, Xu Shanji believed that the Chen family was obsessed with martial arts...

The Xu Shanji family, throughout the dynasties, has been famous for its outstanding spiritual level and for developing and mastering cutting-edge armor.

Therefore, the two families actually took completely different paths, which indeed caused the two people to miss opportunities.

Because of their genetic inheritance, the Xu family, as an important family in the country's scientific and technological research and development, has a very restricted marriage pattern.

Only by combining with people of the same outstanding spiritual level can offspring be born who inherit their excellent genes.

When someone with excellent talent in martial arts is combined with someone with excellent spiritual level, the pure power of their offspring becomes mixed due to the completely different genetic advantages of the two.

The offspring that may be born will have considerable talents in both mental abilities and martial arts strength.

However, due to the conflict, it is very likely that no single aspect will reach its peak or be particularly outstanding.

In addition, it is impossible for the Xu family to abandon the spiritual level that they have always been good at.

As the saying goes, the eldest brother is the oldest, and Xu Shanji is the current generation of the Xu family, a child of destiny with outstanding spiritual level and martial arts talent...

Xu Shanji, who was regarded as his cousin, rejected their relationship. During that period, Old Chen, who had always been indifferent to the world and trained in martial arts under the guidance of his father, practiced even more diligently.

Maybe this is not a problem for Old Chen. After all, his heart has become numb. During the Chen family's many years of martial arts training, he has never experienced the nourishment of love, so he will not reminisce about it.

In fact, Lao Chen was not as petty as Xu Shanji thought. He had even forgotten some details of what happened back then.

What's more, I already have Manager Liu, so these were just trivial matters in the past.

People who follow the martial arts path are magnanimous. When Old Chen thought of this, and then observed what Xu Shandong had just said because he was afraid that he would interfere, he couldn't help but feel how broad-minded he was.

At this moment, Lao Chen's mind was full of mental activity, unexpectedly rich. He thought that he was not as rich in thoughts as Xu Shanji and his mental powers...

It happened so long ago, but you still remember it so clearly. It would be fine if you just remembered it clearly, but you also have paranoia...

Both families have contributed a lot to the Central Kingdom, so only Old Chen dared to have such thoughts.

other people?
I would never dare and would never have the slightest disrespect for Xu Shanji.

However, Lao Chen was still unwilling to give in. He was not satisfied with Xu Shanji's reaction just now and said, "Xu Shanji, give up. Zhang Chaoqiang will not agree to become your disciple!"

I'm afraid Lao Chen was the only one in the audience who called Xu Shanji by his name directly.

Lei She, who was standing aside, had no chance to say anything. He could only watch it all in amazement.

And facing Xu Shanji's obvious pause in expression and movements...

Old Chen naturally saw that the other party really wanted to accept Zhang Chaoqiang as his last disciple.

This is because, no matter how powerful a person's martial arts skills or mental strength are, his eyes can reflect many things.

For example, desire.

From Xu Shanji's eyes just now, Lao Chen saw the desire, as if the father of Central Country's science and technology in front of him was no longer a pure...

A well-mannered young man...

It's more like a beast, a complete beast!

Inside, there is only a beast that is eager for prey.

And this so-called prey is none other than Zhang Chaoqiang, the Zhang Chaoqiang who was discovered by Xu Shanji and possesses perception and synthesis abilities that others do not possess!
Such an outstanding person, no matter who it is, would definitely want to recruit him into his own team!

"I have already told you clearly what happened back then. Why did you come here to stop me today?"

Xu Shanji frowned, and the two of them suddenly changed from being calm and peaceful...

Lao Chen: "I'm not as petty as you, and I won't use your tricks to interfere. I just know from my understanding of Chao Qiang that he doesn't need a so-called closing master, and he won't agree to be anyone's closing disciple!"

Because, in Zhang Chaoqiang's nature, Lao Chen could feel a special power.

This kind of power can perhaps be called nature. Zhang Chaoqiang's nature is like that of a monster, he is free.

In a state of freedom, he can better display his talents and abilities, instead of shutting himself in and practicing day and night like those big families.

That kind of state and life is definitely not what Zhang Chaoqiang wanted.

This is also the absolute reason why Old Chen is certain that Xu Shanji will never be able to successfully recruit Zhang Chaoqiang as his disciple.
However, Xu Shanji certainly would not agree with the other party's point of view.

Xu Shanji: "As long as you don't play any tricks, I have my own plan and can successfully recruit Zhang Chaoqiang into my school!"

Lei She next to them had already started to cover his ears. He didn't want to know about the serious conversation between the two of them at the moment, nor did he want to get involved.

In a short period of time, the situation quickly turned into a tense one. However, this situation was not noticed by the other spectators off the field. They were still immersed in the atmosphere of the game and the speculation of the players on the field.

Among them, a small number of people on the field believed that Xu Shanji's excitement just now was more directed at Zhang Chaoqiang.

But it is a small part after all.

At this moment, even though Zhang Chaoqiang was already on the field, he had already completed the rearrangement of nearly one-third of the molecular sequence structure in the plates of the giant artificial synthetic crystal core spiritual power center...

The original spiritual power state has temporarily become extremely disordered due to the arrangement of molecules, and even temporarily lost its spiritual power effect.

Therefore, under the current situation, he still looks like he is not exerting much strength at the scene...

This seemingly easy-going, but not at all easy situation led to the audience's unanimous opinion that Zhang Chaoqiang was in the final of this concentration event...

Waterloo.

After all, this might be his first time contacting her, and he may not be as experienced as others.

Most people focused their attention on Gu Yizhen, who represented Zhongzhou City. His eyes were firm and his body seemed to be under tremendous recoil.

Therefore, most people have absolute confidence in him.

As for Xinyun City contestant Wu Ma Mengchao, Jiangnan City contestant Dang Zhenpeng, Yangyun City contestant Yang Yunqing, Jingran City contestant Xiang Yunlian and others, those who are optimistic about them...

I'm afraid it's only the families behind them.

This is very realistic and true.

In addition, under the current circumstances, it is really impossible to know who the final winner will be until the last moment.

In this current situation, the one who is under the greatest pressure on the field...

It's not the contestants like Xinyun City contestant Wu Ma Mengchao, Jiangnan City contestant Dang Zhenpeng, Yangyun City contestant Yang Yunqing, and Jingran City contestant Xiang Yunlian who have no idea how to compress the plate and can only try again and again.

Not really. Gu Yizheng has tried to compress the pure spiritual power in the artificial synthetic crystal core to one eighteenth of the original through his own efforts! Even though his results are amazing...

It's Zhang Chaoqiang. He is not only the player with the greatest actual pressure, but also the one with the fastest progress under the synthetic state!

So far, he has successfully arranged nearly half of the process of artificially synthesizing a portion of the plate's pure spiritual power into a molecular particle sequence of the crystal nucleus.

However, such a process has already consumed more than half of his mental energy.

At this moment, Zhang Chaoqiang's mental power was far lower in intensity and content than the spiritual power contained in his body. In this situation, he could only hold on by force.

The rapid consumption of mental energy caused a lot of sweat to spurt out from the top of Zhang Chaoqiang's forehead.

"The difficulty has increased. I'm afraid this juncture is the most important."

Under the competition field, Xu Shanji clearly saw the current situation of the competition field. He knew that Zhang Chaoqiang had already entered the most critical moment of sequence molecular arrangement.

It determines whether the next action can proceed smoothly, and also determines whether the pure spiritual power of a synthetic crystal core can be successfully compressed to one-thirtieth of the original...

It’s at this very moment!
However, it seems that everything cannot proceed in the smoothest way.

Because when Xu Shanji kept his eyes on Zhang Chaoqiang, he suddenly noticed that Gu Yizhen, who was standing next to Zhang Chaoqiang, seemed to have reached his critical point...

In the next moment, Gu Yi was hit by the strong recoil force because of the compressed spiritual power.

The whole person flew towards the ground like a cannonball, tilting his body and flying out...

Then it crashed into the barrier of the synthetic space.

My goodness! The sudden unusual movement startled the audience who were already paying close attention.

Before they could be shocked, Gu Yizheng returned to the side of the giant artificial crystal core spiritual power center...

That’s right, the force just now did make him feel somewhat uncomfortable, but the most important thing at the moment, of course, is to compress it as soon as possible.

Even when I tried to compress that portion of pure spiritual power into one twentieth of its volume, it was far beyond my tolerance...

Zhang Chaoqiang is...

When Gu Yi was about to enter the compression process again, he suddenly noticed Zhang Chaoqiang's strange behavior.

The change in his spiritual power was not large, and it didn't seem like it was being compressed at all, but the overall state was far different from theirs.

His intuition told him that he seemed to be using another method to compress the spiritual power.

Gu Yizhen, who had excellent learning ability, stopped his great efforts instantly to perform a miracle. He was very curious about what Zhang Chaoqiang was doing.

Although he could not know everything, in the gaps between his thoughts, Gu Yizheng, whose comprehension and understanding abilities far exceeded those of ordinary people, was also moving towards discovering clues...

When Gu Yizhen made an unusual movement just now, Xu Shanji was worried. He was especially worried that Zhang Chaoqiang would be disturbed by Gu Yizhen next to him...

Thus all previous efforts were wasted.

Fortunately, Zhang Chaoqiang's stability has always been outstanding, not to mention that he has also directly abandoned his sensory ability to the outside world.

In this state, he was not affected by any external influences and continued to arrange his own molecular sequences.

Soon, his mental power was drained again and again. This speed made Zhang Chaoqiang somewhat unable to cope with it...

Afterwards, not only the sweat on the forehead, but also the snot, also flowed down involuntarily...

This phenomenon was also captured by Gu Yizhen.

how come?
"Why is Zhang Chaoqiang having a runny nose? This is a sign of an urgent lack of spiritual power. Why is he like this? The spiritual power consumed by compressing spiritual power is not much, why..."

Suddenly, Gu Yizheng guessed why Zhang Chaoqiang's mental strength dropped drastically...

Could it be that Zhang Chaoqiang is planning to change the microscopic structure sequence of spiritual power?

Gu Yizhen was horrified. How could he do this?
After trying it, he even felt that it was several times more difficult than compressing it with brute force!
