Xie Ming looked at Wu Li, "Le Yuan, on the surface, is a multinational large-scale bioproduct company, mainly producing various vaccines, neurotropic drugs, and health products."
"But in reality, the investors behind Le Yuan have always been a mystery. It is rumored that many world-class tycoons, conglorates, and families are behind it. They have substantial funds and unfathomable strength, whether in lawful circles or the underworld. I also only recently found out that the notorious Dark Clown from the Underworld has always been part of Le Yuan."
Wu Li slightly frowned; he hadn’t expected this issue to involve such a massive entity.
Xie Ming said, "This ti, it was the people from Le Yuan who actively reached out to , proposing to cooperate with the Shared Guardian Association."
"Cooperate?" Wu Li looked at Xie Ming, "Although I don’t understand business, if Le Yuan is as powerful as you say, why would they seek a collaboration with the Shared Guardian Association?"
Xie Ming nodded, "Exactly. I had the sa doubt initially, but they convinced that they do have a need to collaborate with the Shared Guardian Association."
Wu Li asked, "What for?"
Xie Ming looked at Wu Li and spoke word by word, "Transcendent human abilities."
Wu Li’s eyes widened, "What’s that?"
Xie Ming smiled and spread his hands, "I thought it was ridiculous at first, but there truly are so idealists in this world, and there are people pursuing things that current technology cannot achieve."
Wu Li asked, "Such as?"
Xie Ming replied, "Such as longevity."
"You should know there are many anti-aging drugs in the world, but the ones you can actually buy on the market all perform poorly. Many countries are actually continuously doing related research secretly; many top tycoons or influential people can access anti-aging drugs or thods that are not publicly available, and in this area, Le Yuan’s achievents are leading the world!"
Xie Ming’s tone beca a bit excited, "The people from Le Yuan disclosed to one of their results, that their anti-aging drugs have actually extended the lives of people on the brink of senility! And this, is just a byproduct of their actual research projects."
Wu Li frowned, "The actual research projects, you an, Transcendent human abilities?"
Xie Ming nodded, "Le Yuan’s core project has always been Transcendent human abilities. As for what it specifically entails, they have not told yet, but one thing is certain, so of the byproducts they developed during the research process are enough to drive those at the very top of the pyramid crazy! That’s why so many top tycoons and powerful families support Le Yuan from behind!"
Wu Li asked, "What do they need the Shared Guardian Association for?"
Xie Ming responded, "They said their experint has reached a critical stage and now requires human trials, and the subjects are best if they are proficient in martial arts."
"Ha?"
Wu Li found it preposterous, "Why must it definitely be people proficient in martial arts? Proficient in which martial arts, Traditional Martial Arts from Hua Country?"
Xie Ming shook his head, "They didn’t specify the exact reason but hinted at sothing: among the martial arts worldwide, Hua Country’s Ancient Martial Arts place the greatest emphasis on the cultivation of the spirit, and their experint needs such people. They are not simply looking at physical fitness or individual combat ability."
"Focus on the cultivation of the spirit?"
Wu Li pursed his lips, this indeed was the case, if one were to set aside the differences in techniques and philosophy, the biggest difference between Hua Country’s Traditional Martial Arts and modern Combat Skills is: many Traditional Martial Arts focus on the cultivation of the spirit.
Tai Chi talks about the void and solid, all things returning to unity; Bagua talks about yin and yang, the changes of trigrams; Xingyi talks about the rise and fall of one Qi, the mutual generation and overcoming of the five elents...
In the early stages, these concepts don’t really affect martial artists; understanding them or not, neither impacts the power of your punches nor your progress. But the higher you climb, such as after reaching the Master Level, the more it emphasizes the cultivation of the spirit.
If one can’t comprehend the Fist Intent, they will never hope to reach the Grandmaster Realm, and many advanced techniques will also be unattainable. For instance, Wu Li’s self-invented Ultimate Moves, Suru Seal, Transformation of Peng, etc., if the spiritual realm isn’t sufficient, despite having the physical fitness, they still couldn’t be executed.
Thinking this over, Wu Li felt that Le Yuan’s requirent for people proficient in martial arts didn’t seem entirely nonsensical.
Thinking further, if Le Yuan was as powerful as Xie Ming described, even if they needed to conduct dangerous human experints, needing people with strong physical abilities, wouldn’t they be able to find them in abundance? Why bother seeking cooperation with the small Shared Guardian Association?
The only thing the Shared Guardian Association could offer was people proficient in martial arts, especially martial artists like He Ye, who had achieved clarity in Fist Intent; their spiritual cultivation was far beyond ordinary people.
"So, you agree to cooperate with Le Yuan, you providing boxers from the Shared Guardian Association proficient in martial arts, and Le Yuan promised you so benefits in return?" Wu Li asked coldly.
Xie Ming looked at Wu Li, "Of course I didn’t agree right away, I want to understand first how they conduct experints, and whether it would cause any harm to the subjects."
"They assured that the experint is gentle, just requiring our boxers to cooperate with them in collecting so data. The higher the cooperation from our boxers, the better the experintal results. This is also why they seek collaboration with instead of directly taking people by force! In fact, they completely have the capacity to do so, but they didn’t, because this experint needs mutual cooperation to be completed."
Wu Li scoffed, "I guess you definitely told Master He, but he didn’t agree."
Xie Ming’s tone faltered, helplessly saying, "Old He indeed didn’t agree. He mainly doesn’t trust Le Yuan, considering we’ve never interacted before."
Wu Li retorted, "Nonsense, if it were you going to cooperate in their experints, would you be willing?"
Xie Ming fell silent.
That’s just how it was, neither side understood the other; suddenly saying they want to take you for experints, no matter how nicely put, who knows what the specifics are?
Xie Ming took a deep breath, looking at Wu Li, "I know what your concerns are, and I didn’t say imdiately that we should let Old He and others cooperate with Le Yuan to do experints. We could slowly get to know each other, get familiar, then gradually try bit by bit, but they refused to even try, straightaway saying no!"
"If it were , I wouldn’t be willing either," Wu Li said coldly.
Xie Ming suddenly burst out, loud, "Do you think I’m doing this just for myself? I’m doing it for everyone, for the Shared Guardian Association!"
"Do you know what conditions Le Yuan offered? As long as we cooperate with Le Yuan, all the mbers of the Shared Guardian Association wouldn’t have to live in fear every day! No more worrying about when we might get robbed or kidnapped! No more deaths!"
PS: As ntioned before, phenona that surpass human limits will appear in the later stage, but the story won’t go down a fantasy route.
Indeed, the Grandmaster Realm in so aspects is already considered beyond human limits, categorized as non-human.
