The last to come on stage...
Chu Xuan murmured softly, then turned to Wu Xian and asked calmly, "It seems you've gained quite a lot from eliminating the 'Forgotten Ones'. Have you already broken through the fourth-stage gene lock?"
"Oh? How do you know that!"
Wu Xian was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this. Although he had already prepared to tell Chu Xuan so that the latter could have an idea when formulating plans, it was still somewhat surprising for him to have guessed it out of thin air.
"It was just a reasonable judgment."
Chu Xuan looked at Wu Xian casually and said with a slight tone.
"The demon team, as one of the two special reincarnations, consists of elite reincarnators created by the supreme god. Each member possesses outstanding talent and, as long as they survive a few terrifying reincarnations, they will easily grow up."
Based on your previous description, there should be no shortage of powerful individuals in the demon team, and there's even a possibility that some have unlocked the fourth-stage gene lock."
"But in the terrifying reincarnation, the supreme god arranged for us to face the demon team in a group battle and even made an appearance behind them. This means that in the supreme god's evaluation, the Zhongzhou team is now stronger than the demon team."
So I have reason to judge that at least one member of the Zhongzhou team has unlocked the fourth-stage gene lock, and without a doubt, you are the most likely candidate."
"Alright, it's indeed a reasonable inference, and there's no denying that."
After listening to Chu Xuan's analysis, Wu Xian felt speechless intuitively, then spread out his hands, saying candidly, "No more pretending, I have indeed broken through the fourth-stage gene lock."
"Not only that, even the most troublesome heart demons have been thoroughly suppressed by me. With good luck, perhaps it won't take long for me to awaken my own light of mind, and then further advance to achieve the fourth realm."
Speaking, Wu Xian recounted his journey of breaking through to the fourth stage with the pressure from Zhao Yingkong, as well as his subsequent experience of eradicating the "Forgotten Ones" in the realm of the mind.
When discussing how to suppress the heart demon, he omitted other things about Wu Xian.
But Chu Xuan seemed to have noticed nothing wrong and instead showed some interest in the relationship between Zhao Yingkong's main and sub-personalities.
He asked Wu Xian if it was possible to awaken Zhao Yingkong's main personality during battle, adding another fourth-stage combatant to the Zhongzhou team.
"This may not be feasible."
Wu Xian's expression showed slight helplessness: "Previously, she consumed too much of her own light of mind while protecting Yingkong. Now she has fallen into a deep sleep again. Even if I have a way to forcefully awaken her, whether or not she will cooperate with the Zhongzhou team is still uncertain."
"However, based on my observations, Yingkong's physical condition has reached a fairly powerful level due to the prolonged activation of her fourth-stage gene lock."
Next, as long as the sub-personality breaks through the third-stage gene lock and raises the bloodline level of the Golden Horned Beasts, the strength it can exert should be sufficient to deal with some newly promoted fourth-stage members."
Chu Xuan: "That means, with proper handling, the Zhongzhou team will soon have two fourth-stage combatants... And not to mention Zheng Zha, whose third-stage gene lock has reached a bottleneck, but the fire of career still has room for improvement."
If he is trained to be able to consistently unleash a force equal to or slightly weaker than the "Angry Fire Lotus," then, conservatively speaking, he can still be considered a fourth-stage combatant."
At this point, a brief flash of white light suddenly appeared on the surface of Chu Xuan's glasses: "This way, the Zhongzhou team has already had one fourth-middle-level combatant, two power levels comparable to fourth-early-level ones, and other members will digest the gains from this terrifying reincarnation. Even if we are surrounded and attacked by the other three teams in the next group battle, we have a good chance of winning."
Of course, there's another possibility: that the demon team operates in a similar pattern to the breeders, intentionally lowering the supreme god's ratings in recent terrifying reincarnations, making their actual combat power much stronger than expected. There might even be multiple fourth-stage members. This is something we must be prepared for."
"Yes, there is indeed a possibility for this..."
Upon hearing Chu Xuan's inference, Wu Xian nodded in agreement.
If we follow the performance of the demon team in the original work, they do indeed act like a breeding team, but under the improvements of Fu Zha and Fu Chu, they have become a team that believes in the survival of the fittest and the jungle law.
That's right. The strong get stronger, and the weak won't be too weak either.
And given the character of demon Zhezhá, if a member in the team lags behind, he will never hesitate to personally eliminate them and lower the supreme god's evaluation of the demon team at the same time."
Of course, that was the plotline in the original work. Now, with the flutter of my butterfly wings, some things should still change."
For example, the copy of Zheng Zha and Luo Li. If there haven't been any unexpected incidents, their current situation should be much better than in the original plot. Perhaps when they meet in the God and Ghost Legend, the copy of Zheng Zha might come to thank himself and even have a possible collaboration between the two teams...
Oh! Right, I almost forgot about the copy of Chu Xuan."
This guy is different from Chu Xuan; he truly has no sense of emotion or morality, and he doesn't care about such things at all. His only goal is to eliminate any existence that could threaten him, and for that, he can do anything.
And Zhao Zhuikong, that mental patient, is also a unstable factor.
No matter what else, considering my current ambiguous relationship with Zhao Yingkong, if the other party discovers it, there's a high probability that a commotion will occur. And that guy's light of mind is particularly thorny. If it can't be dealt with in time, who knows what kind of mess they might cause."
"Ah..."
"Life is hard, beautiful boy sighs."
Wu Xian temporarily kept these concerns to himself and then had a brief discussion with Chu Xuan about the direction of further enhancement for everyone, as well as the preliminary plan for the group battle.
After finishing these tasks, he said goodbye to Chu Xuan and, after the other returned to their personal room, ambled happily towards the direction of Zhan Lan's room. It was clear that he was preparing to use the "persistently pestering" technique to pry open the door first.
As for the things to come, it will become much easier... As the saying goes, "There's nothing a good night's sleep can't fix," if it can't, just keep sleeping until you sleep it away!
Wu Xian was very confident in this. Steel body should be used like this!
Thinking this in his heart, Wu Xian had arrived at the door of Zhan Lan's room. He raised his hand to knock on the door while calling out with a voice that was beyond cheesy, "Lanlan, my heart and little precious, I'm your favorite Xiao Xiaoxi!"
"The previous thing was my fault, but between me and Yingkong, nothing really happened, there are reasons for it. Please open the door and listen to my explanation!"
