Chapter 212: Ascension Technique Attempt
The rowdy scene within the pocket realm soon became history. All the visitors were transported out and only Li Lang’s group remained. Things became quieter as they immersed themselves back into their training.
Li Lang was currently organizing everything he had learned from the event before he attempted to break through again. It wasn’t his first time. He had tried previously, albeit using the traditional method. It was only now that he was prepared to use his Ascension Technique for another try.
It was sparked by the successful case of Xiao Dong. While this one-off instance of success didn’t prove his Ascension Technique worked, it showed that a breakthrough was still possible when one practiced it.
At the same time, all his other students were also motivated by Xiao Dong. They strived to replicate his success, and so far, there hadn’t been any particular accidents or successes.
The old Li Lang would’ve been appalled to employ such methods that had barely been tested on himself. It went against everything he had been taught. However, he also knew that it was no longer possible to adhere to such strict standards and cautious approaches. The best he could do was carry out empirical studies. Even so, he didn’t have all the time in the world.
There was no greater scientific community to support his work. He was at it all alone. If he wanted to follow the same standards he had previously used, he would likely die of old age before he made significant progress. To Li Lang, the urgency of his current situation was akin to that of total war. Everything had to be accelerated in the name of survival. It was the reason why technology often progressed so fast during times of turmoil.
The high stakes made many researchers throw caution to the wind. While resource allocation to critical research topics would increase significantly during such events, at the end of the day, it was the people who carried out the studies. They were the ones who would redraw the line that marked what risks were acceptable.
“Master!” Ruby cheerfully called out. “The auto-analyzer has finished!”
Hearing this, Li Lang paused his typing to look over at the technological marvel that enabled him to analyze the material composition of anything. This time, he had put Long Yi’s flesh in for analysis.
This wasn’t the first time he had done so, as he often monitored his Qi toxin levels back when Long Yi was still in the Energy Gathering stage. However, the reason he did so this time was because he had sensed that Earth-grade cultivation techniques had changed Long Yi’s body.
