"Very well, since you insist, let’s give it a try then."

With that, he turned around to open the big door behind.

"Which laboratory are you planning to take him to?" Elder Yun asked Shen Wanchen as he opened the door.

Shen Wanchen pondered for a moment and said, "Let’s start with Lab 8."

"Lab 8?" Elder Yun said blandly, "You’re overestimating this kid, he can’t handle Lab 8. Take him to Lab 10 instead."

Shen Wanchen frowned and said, "Xu Zhou has already opened 120 acupoints, Lab 10 is too slow, I’m afraid..."

The laboratories are numbered 1 through 10.

The ones ranked higher have more significant effects but come with greater costs.

Lab 10 is the most basic one, and Xu Zhou, being almost at 120 acupoints, would find it mostly ineffective there.

Yet Elder Yun simply said, "No matter how much of a genius he is, Lab 10 will suffice for him."

"I’m not underestimating him, but how many prodigies have perished inside? Lab 10 is his maximum tolerance."

Elder Yun continued, "Even in Lab 10, he can stay for a maximum of 10 minutes; he must come out by then."

"Otherwise, if he loses his life, don’t blame me for not warning you."

Clang!

The door opened.

Shen Wanchen shook his head, said no more, and led Xu Zhou inside.

Once inside, Xu Zhou saw that Elder Yun didn’t follow, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

For some reason, seeing Elder Yun always made him feel uneasy.

At this moment, Xu Zhou didn’t dwell on it.

He looked at Shen Wanchen and curiously asked, "Dean, why is this place sealed as a forbidden zone?"

"Because this is the research institute of the previous dean," Shen Wanchen replied.

The previous dean’s research institute?" Xu Zhou was even more puzzled.

Shen Wanchen pondered briefly and then said, "In the era of the previous dean, the cultivation method of the True Martial Department was different from now."

"For example, for the First Grade, we use the method of Qi-Blood explosion, but at that time, the True Martial Department didn’t need such a painful process."

"Back then, the method used by the True Martial Department was to use the secret powers of the five viscera to open the acupoints."

"The secret powers of the five viscera?"

"Yes, the human body itself contains many treasures, acupoints have their own secret powers, and the five viscera and six organs also contain supreme secret powers." freewёbnoνel.com

"The method of the people of the previous dean’s era was to forcibly open acupoints using the secret powers of the five viscera."

"This method is indeed effective because the secret powers of the five viscera are extremely powerful. In that era, everyone in the True Martial Department could easily reach more than 140 acupoints."

Shen Wanchen’s eyes revealed a look of reminiscence: "At that time, it was a true golden age. Talents emerged one after another in the True Martial Department, and powerful warriors were unbeatable on the Guang Han Battlefield."

"Back then, Earth Star even sent a peace treaty, wanting to cease fighting with us, which was also the origin of some people later wanting to coexist peacefully with Earth Star."

Xu Zhou was in a daze, knowing the True Martial Department was strong back then, but not expecting it to be this powerful!

But soon, Xu Zhou questioned, "Then how did the True Martial Department decline?"

Shen Wanchen sighed and said, "Because those who walked that path usually died young, far too early!"

Xu Zhou was stunned, dying young?

"Martial Artists above the Fourth Rank have a lifespan of 200 years, those of the Seventh Grade have over 300 years, and Ninth Grade Martial Artists live for at least a thousand years."

Shen Wanchen lamented, "But that generation, most didn’t even live past 50! The youngest died even before turning 20."

"It wasn’t dying in battle, but from exhaustion of life force!"

Xu Zhou held his breath.

"How could this be?"

Shen Wanchen spoke grimly, "There are many reasons, but the fundamental one lies in the acupoint-opening method of the previous dean’s generation!"

"They borrowed the secret powers of the five viscera, but borrowed things ultimately have to be repaid."

"The secret powers of the five viscera are greatly related to lifespan, and the Divine Martial Department only cultivates the five viscera after reaching the Fourth Rank, opening up the secret powers of the five viscera, thus breaking the mortal limit of lifespan to reach two hundred years."

"But the previous dean’s path required forcefully extracting the secret powers of the five viscera at the First Grade, and the cost of doing so was depleting their lifespan."

"They used the secret powers of the five viscera to open acupoints, consuming a large amount of lifespan; in essence, that generation’s strength was paid for with their lives."

Hearing this, Xu Zhou understood.

It turned out the previous dean’s path would deplete one’s essence!

Opening the secret powers of the five viscera prematurely came at the cost of one’s own lifespan. Even if they later advanced to high grades, the damaged foundation could not restore the lost lifespan.

As a result, that generation fell one after another.

Shen Wanchen sighed lightly: "They were pioneers, explorers; before walking that path, no one knew what would happen later."

"No one could have anticipated such an outcome."

Xu Zhou was filled with respect; the previous dean’s generation had taken the lead and laid the foundation for the True Martial Department. Although they ultimately perished, they remained worthy of admiration.

As they spoke, the two walked into a black tower.

Immediately upon entering, Xu Zhou’s expression changed.

Ahead, a young girl dressed in colorful clothes was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The girl’s skin was extremely white, whiter than snow.

She seemed to sense the newcomers, raised her head, and revealed a flawless, exquisite face.

Xu Zhou was somewhat surprised; how could there be someone inside this forbidden zone?

The girl stood up and spoke, "Which laboratory are you going to?"

"Lab 10," replied Shen Wanchen.

The girl gave Xu Zhou a curious look, then said, "Lab 10 is in the deepest part. Students with lower talent shouldn’t exceed half an hour inside."

Shen Wanchen nodded and led Xu Zhou away.

Once they were farther away, Shen Wanchen spoke softly: "She is the previous dean’s disciple, named Cheng Dong’er."

"She has long since passed away; what you saw was her Spiritual Body."

"Spiritual Body?"

Xu Zhou widened his eyes slightly.

Shen Wanchen did not explain further and continued walking forward.

Xu Zhou quickly caught up.

In place, Cheng Dong’er looked toward Shen Wanchen’s direction, with a hint of curiosity on her delicate face: "Lab 10?"

"That lab hasn’t been opened in a long time; it’s specially for useless talents. Didn’t the instructors send a failure over? Shouldn’t failures be thrown into the Divine Martial Department?"

Cheng Dong’er muttered to herself as she got up, her feet white as jade stepping on the ground, floating in Xu Zhou’s direction.

She wanted to see what was special about this failure, to actually be noticed by the True Martial Department.
