Chapter 88: Levels of Genius
Chapter 88: Levels of Genius
Starlight Corporation, Heavenly City Division.
As the leader of his faction within the company's Heavenly City Division, Luo Ben received an order to make things difficult for Lou Qinglan.
However, upon learning that Lou Qinglan had arrived at the division with a Martial Artist named Ji, Luo Ben felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
The Ji family was going to break their agreement and get directly involved?! He immediately contacted his superiors, and after their investigation, they discovered a misunderstanding.
What Ji family?
It was clearly a commoner with the same-sounding surname!
Luo Ben found this amusing, but at the same time, he felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Lou Qinglan bringing him here wouldn't just be to scare them, would it?
He contacted certain departments on the Third Satellite and, after paying a certain price, obtained Ji Jingqiu's immigration application documents.
[Celestial Human Five Limits]
These four red characters made Luo Ben feel the crisis once again.
Although it wasn't as if the Ji family's involvement would lead to a direct confrontation—me against the Ji family?—it still caused him to furrow his brows.
If this person were to establish himself and become a Martial Artist heavily supported by the company, there would be no way for Luo Ben to find a reason to bring down Lou Qinglan.
Lou Qinglan's female disciple would also use this opportunity to solidify her position.
This was something the higher-ups would least want to see.
On the Four Guardians Star, ordinary people had to undergo regular check-ups after staying for a month to prevent mental pollution. Yet, various families were still eager to send their members here, not for profit, but to invest in nurturing Martial Artists, each year pouring in money with other intentions.
From a practical perspective, a genius Martial Artist was their greatest achievement.
Even in the talent-rich Core Zone, Celestial Human Five Limits were an extremely scarce "resource."
This represented a threshold, a gateway to touching upon the Superior Body.
In recent years, Starlight Corporation had only cultivated two Body Tempering Art geniuses.
Originally, Luo Ben's faction had nurtured a female Martial Artist who had broken through the Fourth Limit and was expected to reach the Fifth Limit this year.
Unfortunately, she had passed away in a recent operation.
If she were still alive, Luo Ben wouldn't have worried about the threat posed by the person Lou Qinglan brought.
Although the person had broken through all five limits, they hadn't established a deep connection with the headquarters; it was merely a part of Lou Qinglan's personal network.
When investing, while talent was essential, being part of the company was even more crucial.
However, Luo Ben always felt that opportunities and crises could be mutually convertible.
Ji Jingqiu's arrival made him keenly sense an opportunity.
It was a perfect chance to pull another Five Limits genius into his faction.
In recent years, the company had cultivated two Five Limits geniuses. One was named Zhang Xiangyang, who was currently cultivating his body essence and was close to completion, while the other was named Gong Chen, who had broken through the Fifth Limit at the end of last year and was still in the preliminary stages of cultivating his body essence.
Zhang Xiangyang aside, Ji Jingqiu's arrival didn't pose a threat to Luo Ben.
But the same couldn't be said for Gong Chen.
The company's resources were always limited, especially certain crucial resources for cultivating the Superior Body.
These were limited!
Even the company had to wait when there was a shortage!
With Zhang Xiangyang already in the picture, it was impossible for the company to simultaneously support two people cultivating the Superior Body.
Therefore, Ji Jingqiu's arrival posed a threat to Gong Chen.
If this year's quota was already filled, he would have to wait at least a year.
In his prime, would Gong Chen be content with waiting for a year?
Luo Ben saw this as a perfect opportunity.
Gong Chen, after joining the company, had never joined any faction. Perhaps this was a chance to draw him to his side! Luo Ben opened his terminal, sent Ji Jingqiu's information to Gong Chen, and expressed his intention to meet.
A moment later.
Gong Chen sent him an invitation.
Luo Ben stood up, straightened his clothes in front of the mirror, and strode out of the office, heading towards Gong Chen's exclusive training ground.
In the company, only seed Martial Artists who had broken through the Fifth Limit were eligible for the privilege of having their own private training grounds.
After knocking on the door, Luo Ben entered a small room within the training ground.
A young man with a handsome appearance but a slightly pale complexion sat in the middle of the room with his eyes closed, meditating.
The room was filled with the lingering scent of purifying incense that had not yet burned out.
Luo Ben glanced over, and beside him were special potions to aid in mental cultivation.
These were all sponsored by the company to assist Gong Chen in mastering the Visualization Diagram.
As soon as Luo Ben sat down cross-legged, the young man opened his eyes, and a divine light flashed in them, startling Luo Ben. Could this guy be close to completing the Visualization Diagram?
Luo Ben got straight to the point, stating his intention and extending an invitation to Gong Chen while explaining the current situation.
"You're different from Zhang Xiangyang. He signed the S Protocol, while you only signed the A-Level Protocol. Although your binding is slightly higher than Ji Jingqiu, it's not enough for the company to fully support you."
"Plus, Ji Jingqiu is now with Lou Qinglan, and some factions above will naturally lean towards Lou Qinglan's side in this selection. Compared to him, you have no advantage!"
The original text is available on the 6th 9@ Book/Bar!
Gong Chen opened the personal message sent by Luo Ben and said calmly, "The Celestial Human Five Limits is a threshold, but it doesn't mean that every Body Tempering Art martial artist is qualified to cultivate a superior body."
Luo Ben's gaze intensified, "Do you think he's not qualified to compete with you?"
Gong Chen's expression remained calm, "Cultivating a superior body, the Body Tempering Art is just the first threshold. The difficulty of the subsequent steps far exceeds your imagination."
"Are you talking about martial wisdom?" Luo Ben thought of something and asked tentatively, "I remember you broke through the fifth limit in just seven months?"
Among those who had reached the Celestial Human Five Limits, some took three to four months, or even one to two months to naturally break through the limit, while others relied on external forces to break through the fifth limit. This was naturally incomparable.
"The time it takes to break through the limit doesn't represent martial wisdom." Gong Chen shook his head and said calmly, "Cultivating a superior body, not to mention the subsequent Mind-Electric Surgery and inscribing laws into the flesh, even the previous corresponding Visualization Diagram and a series of forbidden knowledge are not easily mastered by ordinary people."
Luo Ben seemed to recall something, "That's right, I remember you broke through the fifth limit at the end of last year and received the Visualization Diagram from above, but you haven't completed it until now."
Gong Chen nodded slightly, "The superior Visualization Diagram is not something that can be easily comprehended."
Luo Ben's eyes shone, "How much longer do you need?"
Gong Chen contemplated, "Next month, I should be able to achieve merit completion."
Luo Ben laughed, "If even you need half a year to comprehend it, that kid with the surname Ji will definitely need no less time. In half a year, your body essence should be mostly cultivated!"
Gong Chen's gaze deepened,
"The Visualization Diagram is just the beginning. The next step is to master forbidden knowledge, which is the most dangerous and tests one's mental cultivation. Only then can one gather psychic energy, and the difficulty of gathering psychic energy, Luo Manager, you know."
Luo Ben's eyes sparkled, suddenly feeling that all his previous worries were completely unnecessary. However, he didn't give up the opportunity to show goodwill to Gong Chen, saying,
"As long as you can always stay ahead of him, I dare guarantee that the company's next sponsorship will definitely be yours!"
Gong Chen revealed a faint smile and spoke with a confident and carefree tone,
"This bit of confidence, I, Gong Chen, still have!"
...
...
Ji Jingqiu opened the terminal, which contained the latest compilation of the Galactic Martial Hall's Divine Skill Chart, just sent by Zhang Yaode.
Among martial artists, this was also known as the Godly Skill Chart.
It was divided into body technique cultivation methods, Visualization Diagrams, and combat skills.
Only those of superior rank could be included.
Ji Jingqiu first flipped to the page of Visualization Diagrams.
He saw the Dragon Tiger Wind and Cloud Visualization Diagram, the core of the Dragon Tiger Dojo, ranked ninth on the chart.
Ranking first was the Ji Family's Celestial Human Chess Sword Visualization Diagram.
This made Ji Jingqiu immediately doubt the authenticity and fairness of the chart.
After reading the top ten, he still didn't see a certain name, and his doubt turned into certainty.
It wasn't until he discovered that there was a sub-list under the Visualization Diagrams column that he felt satisfied.
He clicked on it and saw—the Fire Mansion Buddha Hell Visualization Diagram, the only one in the world.
