Next Day, at the airport.
Liu Zhi was sitting on the flight with the old Huang's granddaughter.
He was staring outside the window, lost in thought.
"Liu Zhi, what are you thinking about?" Old Huang's granddaughter asked, staring at him intently.
"Why are you the one coming with me?" Liu Zhi asked, still looking outside the window.
He was not interested in this training at all, but his dad forced him to go without giving him any other choice.
"I am also joining that training camp."
Huang Mei replied and stopped pestering him.
A few minutes later, the flight took off.
At the airport, Liu Ran was watching her brother flying away from her; she was feeling slightly emotional. As she stared at the flight flying away from eye sight.
Her mom and dad were also standing beside her. Watching her brother and their son fly away from them.
"Liu Ran, don't worry, it's not like he won't be coming back."
Her mother gently patted her head, trying to comfort her.
"I am not worried, Hmph!" Liu Ran quickly started, turning her head away.
…
The flight finally landed, and Liu Zhi walked out of the airport with Huang Mei.
A black car was waiting for them there. They quickly sat in as the Huang Mei asked the driver, "Where are we going?"
"Miss Huang, we are going to the Qin Family's old mansion." The Old Man replied, starting the engine.
"Is this training camp operated by the Qin Family?" Liu Zhi asked with some interest.
The Qin family is one of the strongest families, leading humanity through the centuries, to stand tall in the galactic era.
"Mister, I don't know anything about that, but it should be." The driver replied modestly.
"Oh…"
"It's look like quite a major event. If the Qin family is operating this training camp, then it makes sense why Dad was eager for me to win this martial arts tournament."
His Dad once dreamed of joining the Interstellar Federation as high ranking official, but he failed the exam.
Wanting his son to fulfil his dream, not caring if his son is interested in it or not?
The car reached the Qin mansion, and a few guards came to escort them inside. As they were walking in, they met a few other people coming to this training camp.
This group consisted of four people, and when they reached the main hall, there were already more than twenty people around their age sitting there.
After settling down, Liu Zhi quickly started to scroll through his bronze mirror, looking at yesterday's reward, which he had fused.
He sat on the corner table and looked at his new fusion skill.
Soul Devourer
A special skill belonging to the hunger pathway, and fusing it with the soul pathway gives birth to Soul Devourer.
"Not bad, finally, a soul skill-related skill, which has some real use." Liu Zhi was happy with this skill; after all, he had just gotten the transformation skill, which he could actually use, unlike that zombie transformation skill in past.
He was already quite happy with this howl, and he had also gotten a peach of life, which can increase lifespan by 1000 years, for any being.
Overall, it was a great howl, and he still has three simulations left for today. There was no way these kids could compare with him.
Suddenly, the hall fell into silence, and Liu Zhi put the mirror back into his pocket and looked at the middle-aged man walking in with an extremely handsome young boy, his body emanating a strange aura, making his heart beat faster.
It was his instinct which develop after thousands of simulations; his understanding of others' power had become an instinct.
He could feel that the old man and the boy were special, but he wasn't feeling much of a threat from them, except for the old man, whose power he was unable to guess.
The Old man walked onto the stage, prepared in the centre of the hall, and spoke in a gentle voice, "All of you are the few strongest martial arts geniuses of our planet. Some of you may lead humans even deeper into this universe."
"First of all, those who had already unlocked their gene locks should come forward."
The old man announced, in a low voice, which was reaching everyone's ears.
Hearing the old man's words, almost everyone except Liu Zhi stepped out from the crowd.
The Old Man Qin gave a glance at everyone and was a bit shocked to find that there was someone coming here, without even unlocking their gene lock.
"Fuck! It looks like another drama is coming…"
Liu Zhi continued standing in his place as he internally sighed, knowing well about his situation, he couldn't possibly scream out about the skills and power he got from the simulation.
"Kid, you haven't unlocked your gene lock yet?" The Old Man Qin asked while his right hand caressed his long white beard. The old man was dressed in an ancient-style robe. As he stood in his place with the support of the young man.
"Well, I am already quite strong, so normal drugs available in the market can't help me unlock my gene locks, as for the advanced ones, I haven't tried them." Liu Zhi replied casually.
"Oh, then you can do it now." The Young Man supporting the old man Qin threw a bottle filled with blue liquid at Liu Zhi.
Liu Zhi caught the bottle and gave him a glance, and found the old man had nothing to say about it.
"Ok"
Gulp~ Gulp~
After gulping down the whole bottle, Liu Zhi felt nothing except for its bad aftertaste, which was torturing his taste buds.
"See, these drugs are useless. I need some advanced drugs."
Seeing this, the Young Man was quite shocked, because the bottle he gave him was already the specially modified drugs, which were even more potent than the advanced drug available to unlock gene locks in the market.
"Kid, let me see your strength, so I can get a suitable drug for you." Suddenly, the old man spoke, as he let go of the boy's hand and walked towards him with slow steps.
