Chapter 25 - Chapter 25 Disheartened, Gao Feng's Decision

"Mechanical Transformer!!"

Gao Feng looked at Yang Meng in disbelief. He never thought Yang Meng would choose this path.

"But your family situation..."

Gao Feng seemed to have thought of something, but the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back.

Yang Meng looked calmly at Gao Feng and slowly said, "I know that with my family situation, the path of a Mechanical Transformer has no future, but...not long ago, a prosthetic company contacted me, willing to sponsor me to become a Mechanical Transformer."

"I'm a second-tier Martial Artist. With my Martial Arts Talent, if I don't follow the pure martial path and use the mechanical prosthetics provided by the company, I can become stronger, even stronger than some ordinary Mechanical Transformers."

"So... I'm sorry, Mr. Gao. I can't continue down the path of martial arts."

Gao Feng fell silent. He never expected the student he valued most to deliver such a blow to him. This was something Gao Feng could never have anticipated.

A bitter smile appeared on Gao Feng's face. He shook his head and said, "But don't you know that once you become a Mechanical Transformer, your Martial Arts Talent will be completely wasted?"

"Mechanical Transformers are strong, but they have a fatal flaw. Without a complete body, they cannot properly cultivate martial arts and techniques, relying only on fast-track methods."

"Your Martial Arts Talent is outstanding. You have the potential to reach the fourth tier. But once you become a Mechanical Transformer, your talent will be wasted. When the prosthetic companies stop supporting you, what will you do then?"

"Can't you see their intentions behind the sponsorship?"

"When the prosthetic companies stop supporting you, what will you do then?"

Gao Feng still wanted to persuade Yang Meng. After all, among all the Martial Artists in the Elite Class, Yang Meng's talent was the highest.

His Qi Blood Limit had reached eighty cal, surpassing eighty percent of the Martial Artists in the human federation.

However, no matter how Gao Feng tried to persuade him, Yang Meng continued to look at him calmly and said softly, "But... as a Martial Artist, I have to face the contempt of Mechanical Transformers and cultivators. I am clearly a genius, so why do others look down on me?"

Although his voice was calm, Lu Sheng could hear the deep-seated unwillingness hidden in Yang Meng's words.

To be honest, when Lu Sheng heard that Yang Meng was switching to a Mechanical Transformer, he didn't understand.

After all, being a Mechanical Transformer...

Lu Sheng shook his head. If he had talent in the Immortal Dao, he might switch from Martial Artist to cultivator. But as for a Mechanical Transformer, no way. Prosthetics can't grind proficiency.

"I am a genius! Not a waste. I am already a second-tier Transcendent, but even first-tier Mechanical Transformers and cultivators look down on me!"

"I don't want to be so useless; I don't want to be the object of others' disdain!"

"As for the intentions of the prosthetic companies, Mr. Gao, I understand very well. But... I believe that with my talent, I can make them satisfied!"

After speaking, Yang Meng took a deep breath and looked at Gao Feng, his expression becoming resolute.

"I know Mr. Gao has invested a lot of time and resources in me, but my mind is made up. The martial path... I, Yang Meng, will not walk it anymore!"

After finishing, Yang Meng looked at Lu Sheng and said indifferently, "I advise you to give up on martial arts early. Even though Emperor Bai is ahead, it's still the most looked-down upon of the three systems."

"If you have ideas, come find me. I can help you find some prosthetic companies to sponsor you."

Yang Meng had a good impression of Lu Sheng. After all, those who received special treatment from Gao Feng were not simple people, so he persuaded Lu Sheng before leaving.

Facing Yang Meng's words, Lu Sheng merely smiled slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, but... I have no interest in mechanical transformation."

"Martial arts... I will continue down this path!"

Yang Meng frowned slightly and snorted coldly, "Stubborn fool, you will regret your ideas one day!"

After speaking, Yang Meng left Gao Feng's office without caring about Lu Sheng and Gao Feng's emotions.

As for Gao Feng's sponsorship and guidance to Yang Meng before, Yang Meng did not mention it at all, as if it never happened.

For a moment, Gao Feng's office became quiet.

Gao Feng sat in his chair in a daze, staring at the emptiness in front of him, lost in thought.

It was as if someone had suddenly lost some kind of support.

A moment later, Gao Feng looked at Lu Sheng. The originally disheartened Gao Feng, remembered the conversation that just took place between Yang Meng and Lu Sheng and barely managed to smile.

"Since you have such confidence in martial arts, I hope you can continue with this confidence on your path!"

Listening to Gao Feng's words, Lu Sheng nodded and smiled as well.

What Gao Feng didn't know was that Lu Sheng's confidence in martial arts came entirely from his system panel.

Perhaps his talent wasn't great, but... he had hacks!

As long as he could accumulate proficiency, he could eventually max it out!

Looking at Lu Sheng's beaming face, Gao Feng's somewhat cold heart warmed a bit. He rubbed his temples and, after pondering for a moment, said slowly, "In the past, I invested too much in Yang Meng, which resulted in this outcome. Now, I don't have many resources left. How about this: I will be in my office all day on weekends. If you need me, just come over. I will guide your martial arts all day on weekends."

By saying this, it was apparent that Gao Feng had completely given up on Yang Meng and shifted his focus to Lu Sheng.

Hearing this, Lu Sheng's eyes brightened.

Having Gao Feng's guidance all day on weekends was a rare opportunity for Lu Sheng.

Although he had received guidance from Li Mo, it was evident that Li Mo's expertise in the Longevity Posture was not as profound as Gao Feng's.

With Gao Feng's guidance, his Longevity Posture and Five Elements Fist could improve even faster.

At that time, his cultivation would also advance faster with the proficiency in his techniques and martial skills.

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you, Mr. Gao!"
