Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 212 - 45: Muscle Realm? Instant Kill with One Spear
It turns out that this forest area is actually the headquarters established by the Xuanjing Bureau in Jiangbei Province.
Their living in such an environment is indeed enviable and jealousy-inducing. Compared to here, the Inner Ring City is just like the Great Radiation Zone.
Zhang Lingfeng even saw butterflies and bees; there seems to be a complete ecological cycle system here.
"Follow me."
Under the guidance of the Xuanjing Bureau personnel, Zhang Lingfeng entered a house where staff members were already waiting. There were Mental Telekinesis Masters, Pharmacists, and a piece of equipment he had never seen before.
"Sit down and don’t move."
Lin Qiao’an said.
Zhang Lingfeng obediently complied. The equipment had special tools that wrapped around his arms and legs with a cool touch.
Then a Mental Telekinesis Master, after a brief exchange with Du Fei, came over to Zhang Lingfeng with a smile, releasing waves of mental power to envelop Zhang Lingfeng’s entire body.
The Sea of Consciousness is extremely mysterious, both powerful and fragile.
Generally, no Mental Telekinesis Master would dare to use their mental power to probe someone else’s Sea of Consciousness unless they harbor malicious intent, attacking the other’s Sea of Consciousness with their mental power.
Otherwise, during the probing, if any wavering occurs, at best the probed person’s Sea of Consciousness gets heavily damaged, at worst both Seas of Consciousness collapse.
Therefore, assessing Sea of Consciousness data is generally done through instrument testing.
Of course, if one’s Sea of Consciousness value far exceeds the other by more than the seventh level, it’s possible to gauge the other’s Sea of Consciousness value through mental telekinesis.
But the person before him clearly did not have this capability.
Moreover, their goal wasn’t to assess Zhang Lingfeng’s Sea of Consciousness value; rather, it was to detect through mental power waves whether there was any remaining genetic potion in Zhang Lingfeng’s flesh.
Whether his Demon Talent, recognized by the Star Realm System, was augmented by genetic potions.
Any genetic modification leaves behind hidden dangers and flaws. Perhaps in the short term, cultivation advances rapidly, but at a certain point, all physical indices plummet unless genetic modification is continued.
In other words, one genetic modification means lifelong genetic modification, creating a dependency on genetic potions, and potentially leading to genetic backlash, losing control, and other extreme phenomena.
Thus, the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance provides different resource subsidies to those enhanced through genetic modification compared to those who rise through cultivation techniques.
Once it is confirmed that Zhang Lingfeng has used genetic potions, it would solidify the fraud by Wang Dashan and others in swindling cultivation resource subsidies, labeling this incident as a group fraud case.
Therefore, the first test was to check whether Zhang Lingfeng had used genetic potions. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
The examination was meticulous.
It lasted a total of an hour, during which two other Mental Telekinesis Masters were switched in.
Initially confident and assured, Du Fei grew increasingly stern, learning from the instruments and Mental Telekinesis Masters’ feedback that Zhang Lingfeng had never used genetic potions, nor was he genetically modified.
The examination equipment belonged to the Xuanjing Bureau, and so did the Mental Telekinesis Masters, instead of people like Huang Ling. Thus, the truth was that Zhang Lingfeng had never used genetic potions or undergone genetic modification.
Now they only needed to investigate the Star Realm System in South City to check if any manipulations had occurred, and this task was underway with a soon-to-come response.
"The system is fine."
"The Seven Great Star Systems Alliance has conducted its investigation and issued task orders to Yan Fei and others to oversee Zhang Lingfeng’s cultivation."
Lin Qiao’an promptly reported to Du Fei after receiving feedback.
"Even if the talent is genuine, it’s impossible for Zhang Lingfeng, at such a young age, to be a Flesh Realm Martial Artist, let alone cultivate Spear Technique to the Fourth Transformation and Body Tempering Technique to the First Transformation. A high school martial arts student being considered likely to become both a Master of Gun Technique and a Body Tempering Master, isn’t this absurd?"
Du Fei still found something amiss.
"Have you forgotten, the Divine Sect also reported that he’s a Basic Mental Telekinesis Master."
Lin Qiao’an reminded.
"I haven’t forgotten; have you arranged the upcoming examinations?"
Du Fei snorted.
"Everything is ready; additionally, Huo Guoqiong has used authoritative power to request that all investigated parties can witness Zhang Lingfeng’s examination process firsthand to clearly understand their mistakes, with feedback from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance allowing for individual viewings."
Lin Qiao’an added.
"Now of all times, they still dare to make demands of me. Fine, according to the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance’s instructions, arrange separate rooms for each to watch Zhang Lingfeng’s examination process together. I’ll be curious to see their expressions when Zhang Lingfeng’s metrics aren’t as outrageous as they reported."
Du Fei sneered.
"Yes, I will arrange it immediately."
Lin Qiao’an stepped back once more.
"Where is this place?"
Zhang Lingfeng, holding a silver long spear, arrived in a desolate ruin.
Everywhere was overgrown with weeds, strangled by withered vines, in dilapidated skyscrapers, many of which had collapsed, all devoid of human presence.
Above was a pale yellow sky.
Zhang Lingfeng felt like he had arrived in the Great Radiation Zone.
Here, airborne pollutant levels were much higher than in the Outer Ring City, with all weeds and plants in shades of withered yellow, as if he had stepped into a lifeless wasteland.
