328: Chapter 325 The Sixth Sense

Clack, clack~

The crisp sound of high heels stepping on the metal floor echoed. Li Changsheng walked ahead without looking sideways, while Ms. Lux followed closely behind, though a careful look would reveal her expression was somewhat grave.

Ding!~

The elevator doors opened, and the two walked directly inside.

Li Changsheng glanced at the electronic eye in the corner before quickly shifting his gaze forward.

They remained silent throughout the ride, but the moment they stepped out of the elevator, Lux took the lead and walked out first, leaving Li Changsheng slightly startled.

"Mr. Li, I'm very sorry, but I need to use the restroom. Please go ahead and begin your training."

As she spoke, Ms. Lux bowed slightly to express her apologies; everything seemed perfectly normal and reasonable.

Li Changsheng raised an eyebrow slightly. Watching Ms. Lux walk away and feeling the paper object that had been pressed into his palm, he couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

"The woman arranged by Old Zhou does have professional standards; she's just not very bold, but then again, it's better to be safe than sorry."

Li Changsheng had thought this beautiful lady would find a moment to talk to him privately, but it seemed she was cautious to the extreme.

Perhaps she was wearing a listening device, or some kind of camera.

He glanced around with his peripheral vision; there were electronic eyes everywhere, providing almost 360-degree surveillance with no blind spots.

"It seems trouble is coming. This should be a warning about the general situation of the laboratory."

Li Changsheng thought to himself. Although he had now stepped into the stage of Huajin, he knew very well that he was by no means invincible in this world.

After all, even back in the old society, those of the older generation—even Elder Sun, who was known as a Martial Saint—couldn't accomplish much against the tide of the times.

Although he had entered Huajin while at his youthful Peak, making him stronger than those Seniors of the past, and his physical fitness far exceeded ordinary people thanks to the support of the System, the current era was also progressing.

Forget about various firearms; even with tranquilizer guns or tasers, as long as there were enough of them, Li Changsheng would be finished.

"Careful, careful. Old Zhou, that unreliable guy."

Li Changsheng grimaced. The thought of having to face a small army gave him a headache.

However, he wasn't entirely without advantages now. A much more powerful reaction speed had already emerged upon his entry into Huajin.

It was almost like a state of sixth sense.

At this moment, whether Li Changsheng's eyes were closed or open, it was as if he had eyes in the back of his head, observing his surroundings from all angles without any blind spots.

However, the perspective from behind was very strange, like a sensation of internal imaging within the brain.

According to the senses of an ordinary person, there are generally five: eyes (sight), ears (hearing), nose (smell), tongue (taste), and skin (touch).

The sixth sense, in scientific theory, is called Extrasensory Perception.

In Buddhism, it can be called Heavenly Eye Power; in Daoism, it is known as the Heavenly Eye or the Niwan Palace.

In the scientific world, however, it is the Pineal Gland.

Studies have shown that the Pineal Gland possesses the complete structure of a human eye. This organ is located in the area between the eyebrows, right in the middle of the brain.

During human infancy, the skull is in a loose state—it hasn't closed yet—and there are several major fissures, including one at the brow.

At that time, the Niwan Palace, or the Pineal Gland, remains in a somewhat open state. However, because infants do not have much self-awareness, the sensation is not obvious.

But some people, when they were young, always saw mysterious images.

For example, Li Changsheng himself saw strange figures and heard voices when he was a child.

As the infant grows and the Niwan Palace closes, this unique ability also shuts down.

Therefore, Daoism also speaks of "returning to the Innate."

Buddhism has also been emphasizing the Wisdom Heart and Wisdom Root, a pure heart like that of an infant, the Bodhi Heart.

"This is interesting. Combined with Listening Energy, my current senses... seem to be able to keenly perceive every movement within thirty meters. If I encounter danger, I can respond immediately.

In other words, within thirty meters, as long as my legs aren't broken and my Qi is sufficient, no bullet can hit me!"

Li Changsheng chuckled inwardly. This was something that Genentech did not yet grasp.

In fact, after his Breakthrough to Huajin, their information had become severely outdated.

"The hallmark of Huajin is the integration of powerful perception and unified internal force. What comes after that? It seems the further one goes, the more the martial arts move toward internal levels.

Could my future path lie within the theories of the Daoist or Esoteric Buddhist sects?"

Li Changsheng was lost in thought. He knew that Buddhism spoke of a seventh sense, also called Manas-vijnana, while Daoism had related theories about the Primordial Spirit and the Conscious Spirit.

"If the Daoists are right and the human body is a Hidden Treasury, then could Hidden Power and Huajin be just the very beginning of opening that treasury?"

Pondering this, he had already begun heading toward the 10th Basement Floor.

Meanwhile, the group of researchers in the monitoring room gradually calmed down. It wasn't that they truly wanted to argue, but the temptation was simply too great.

While money was certainly a major reason for coming here to participate in research, for some top-tier talents, money was actually secondary.

The main draw was the ability to access the most advanced research equipment and conduct experiments alongside the most elite minds; furthermore, the company possessed unparalleled means to obtain research trials that were prohibited in the outside world.

"Alright, all of Li's data has been sent over. I plan to send it to the boss. It seems we should apply for the experiment as soon as possible. He is definitely the most incredible research subject we've seen in all these years, and he is our key to approaching God's Domain."

With that, Old Michael took a copied USB drive and walked straight into his office.

As soon as he left, another clamor broke out behind him.

Closing the door, those annoying sounds were finally blocked out.

He turned on the computer and sent the data, along with his own brief descriptions, to the person in charge here.

Before long, a video call request came from the other side.

"Professor Michael, are you certain the data you just sent is accurate?"

"Yes! Mr. Will, I believe I am beyond certain. It's truly incredible. I watched the real-time footage of his tests; it was staggering. I even suspect he might be an Incarnation of God on Earth!" Old Michael described excitedly.

Will, on the other end, waved his hand impatiently. He didn't believe in any nonsense about Incarnations of God.

"Old Michael, since you've confirmed it's true, I will send the data to headquarters. Alright, I expect the experiment can begin in a few days. Just wait patiently."

"Boss, there's a difficult problem at the moment. The Gene Project Group and the EP Project Group are arguing over who gets priority to use the test subject," Old Michael said with a troubled look.

He decided to push this troublesome matter onto the boss.

Will, however, didn't even think before saying indifferently, "Old Michael, you are the main person in charge of all projects. I think you should know very well that the gene project itself is just a front, a ruse to deceive people and secure funding.

Do you think that with the current computing power of human computers, you can handle the countless gene sequences of humanity? Remember, you are more professional than I am, but don't take me or the Big Boss for a fool!"
