Chapter 5, cast aside like a worn-out shoe

In his impression, He Qing from the experimental class is introverted and simple, and usually does not talk much

However, it is now heard that there seems to be another path to approach supernatural powers, which immediately doused the fervent heart that had just begun to ignite.

So, the old techniques were discarded just like that?! Qin Cheng was very unwilling.

Wang Xuan shook his head; although the old professor was very fond of him, he did not possess such great authority. In this ancient technique research project, he was merely invited to impart knowledge of the ancient techniques and did not participate in anything else

What criteria do they use to select people? Qin Cheng is dissatisfied and feels that it is very unfair to Wang Xuan

Because he does not believe in immortals or Buddhas, his study of ancient arts has never been motivated by those myths; rather, it is simply because he enjoys exploration and wants to see how far the path of ancient arts can lead.

Qin Cheng inquired of Wang Xuan whether he had gone to speak with the old professor who taught them the ancient techniques, to see if there was any way to resolve the issue concerning the new star

On one occasion, while peeling an apple, my sister left a deep cut on her finger. At that time, my younger sister was in another city attending to some matters. Although they were far apart, she felt a corresponding pain in her own finger.

Therefore, Qin Cheng finds it somewhat puzzling that He Qing, who clearly exhibited resistance, was ultimately selected

Wang Xuan also felt a bit emotional; when he first heard it, he was momentarily lost in thought. However, this girl was the most special, while the others and their matters were barely acceptable.

After a long while, Qin Cheng finally came to his senses, feeling somewhat disheartened

... ...

Qin Cheng was serious and earnest: "At present, the opportunity to head towards the new star is becoming increasingly precious. If one can access supernatural powers and be at the forefront, everything you desire is possible!"

What exactly has the new star discovered? Apart from mysterious phenomena, has it also found a true path leading to the extraordinary?

Because Wang Xuan's ex-girlfriend comes from an extraordinary family

For example, there is a pair of twin sisters in the class who often have inexplicable sensations between them. When the younger sister is unexpectedly frightened, the older sister also experiences palpitations at the same time

It is reported that He Qing was initially not interested in the old techniques; he only enrolled after hearing that graduating would guarantee a decent and high-paying job

He has always been skeptical of ancient techniques in the past, but now he hopes that the myths of the past can be traced and brought back to life

The investors of the old technique research project have dug up and investigated this matter from He Qing's youth, which shows how deeply they understand him

Moreover, behind the old technique research project are some financial magnates, and no one dares to act recklessly.

Wang Xuan is doing well, remaining in the old land, and can still gather with those few people again

Clearly, if true, this would trigger unimaginable impacts, both in terms of concepts and certain transformations in the real world

No! Although the number of interactions has been limited, Wang Xuan understands the personalities of her family members well enough to know it would not be like this. Moreover, it has been over a year since they parted ways, and there is no longer any connection between them

A portion of the students in the experimental class remained, never giving up, waiting for the final opportunity. Now that the results have been revealed, they are filled with immense disappointment

Wang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "I estimate it should be related to a keen mind and the ability to unleash potential far beyond that of ordinary people; in short, it has slightly touched upon the realm of the mysterious"

The new star has chosen the extraordinary, officially abandoning the old techniques

Whether immortals ever existed is of no concern to him; his beliefs are steadfast, and he is validating this path through his own experience

During the selection of students for the experimental class this time, the two of them were chosen at the first opportunity

On that day, the final list of those selected to go to the new star was confirmed, and indeed no new members were added

Wang Xuan gazes at the starry sky. Did immortals, deities, and other mythological figures appear in ancient times?

He had seen the first batch of selected names, leading to this inference

Is this even possible? We have such a monster in our class! Qin Cheng was dumbfounded, having never heard of this matter before.

Although these ingredients are extremely rare and prohibitively expensive, the combination of various ingredients does not yield a particularly impressive flavor

The special food transported from deep space is truly a rare treat; it feels like each meal is a fleeting experience. Initially, I found the taste to be terrible, but now I feel a sense of reluctance to part with it.

It was at that moment that he solidified his conviction, vowing to earnestly delve into the ancient arts and to overcome all difficulties on this path moving forward

An incident once occurred involving He Qing. When he was fourteen years old, he witnessed his younger brother about to be struck by a speeding car. He rushed forward without hesitation, forcefully pushing his brother out of the way, but was himself run over by the car. However, he was not injured; he only bore dark marks on his body where the tires had passed.

Although the old techniques are now abandoned

"You weren't selected this time; could it be that her family exerted influence to suppress you, preventing you from going to the New Star?" Qin Cheng suddenly considered this possibility

Qin Cheng was astonished; he had spent a considerable amount of time and expended a great deal of energy to uncover some secrets through connections within his family

What is going on with He Qing?" Qin Cheng asked in confusion

At that moment, everyone was shocked, some were unable to comprehend, and ultimately could only conclude that he had unleashed some mysterious potential of the human body in a life-and-death situation

When he learned of those secrets, he felt a surge of excitement in his heart, believing that he had finally grasped the truth, and that studying ancient techniques was aimed at accessing supernatural powers

He shook his head, stating that even if there were conclusive evidence indicating that the Immortals once existed, it would merely serve to instill confidence in those who came after, but it held no significance for him

Qin Cheng sighed, lamenting for his friend, who had truly mastered the old techniques but was abandoned, all because a glimpse of the supernatural power at the end of deep space had emerged, revealing another path!

Qin Cheng and Wang Xuan had a lengthy conversation, reminiscing about several friends from their class who had left early, and both felt a sense of melancholy.

At this point, Qin Cheng took a moment to calm his emotions and spoke again: "Therefore, I have some hope that you can achieve great success in the path of ancient arts. How wonderful it would be if those myths and legends were true! One day, you could use ancient arts to counter supernatural forces, suppress the beings from the extraordinary realm of the new stars, and make them understand how wrong it is to abandon ancient arts!"

After calming down slightly, he let out a heavy sigh, realizing that everything was unrealistic and that the so-called legends were baseless

Qin Cheng sighed, recalling a former girlfriend from New Star, who had also exerted various pressures on Wang Xuan at the time. That girl's family was quite powerful and had directly issued warnings several times in the past.

This phenomenon is inexplicable

Wang Xuan was very calm, having long anticipated this outcome

The two individuals are conversing while having breakfast

As night falls and the stars twinkle, the two engage in an open and candid conversation

Although some people had a premonition, they still felt very upset

The flight she missed that day unfortunately met with an accident

However, Wang Xuan has already inferred more through his observations, suspecting that there is another path that touches upon supernatural powers

However, looking back now, it is evident that some individuals in the early days sent their children from the New Star to learn the old arts, clearly preparing them to engage with supernatural forces, which must have had some underlying context.

In a few days, I will be going to the New Moon. Wang Xuan, I feel somewhat conflicted; I truly hope you have the opportunity to go to the New Star, to come into contact with supernatural powers, and to embark on that new path. However, I also feel that they casually discard the old techniques, treating them as worthless, which is quite excessive. We have all been abandoned!

Wang Xuan shook his head: "We have been apart for more than a year, so I won't go to see her off, lest her family finds out and overthinks, causing her distress. Let us each be well."

The two individuals were quite moved

The first group of selected individuals each possesses their own unique qualities. For instance, there is a girl with extraordinary perception, and one of her most notable experiences occurred when she felt extremely anxious before boarding a flight, believing she was ill and that there was a problem with her heart, which prompted her to seek medical attention at the last minute

Qin Cheng asked him: "Aren't you going to meet your girlfriend? She is about to return to New Star, and if you don't go now, you really won't have another chance. It will probably be difficult to see her again in the future."
