From Mortal Body to Immortality

"A mechanical augmentor?!"

Gao Feng looked at Yang Meng in disbelief, never imagining he would choose such a path.

"But your family situation..."

Gao Feng seemed to realize something, but the words he was about to say were swallowed back down.

Yang Meng calmly looked at Gao Feng and slowly said, "I know that with my family background, pursuing the path of a mechanical augmentor is hopeless, but... not long ago, an augmentics company approached me, willing to sponsor me to become a mechanical augmentor."

"I am a second-stage martial artist. With my martial arts talent, if I don't pursue pure martial arts, I can become even stronger with the mechanical augmentations provided by those augmentics companies, perhaps even stronger than some ordinary mechanical augmentors."

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

Gao Feng was silent. He hadn't expected his most valued student to give him such a blow. This was something Gao Feng could never have imagined.

A bitter smile appeared on Gao Feng's face. He shook his head and said, "But do you know that once you become a mechanical augmentor, your martial arts talent will be completely wasted?"

"Mechanical augmentors are powerful, but they also have a fatal flaw. Without a complete physical body, mechanical augmentors cannot properly cultivate martial arts and techniques. They can only rely on quick fixes."

"Your martial arts talent is so outstanding, and you have a good chance of reaching the fourth stage in the future. Once you become a mechanical augmentor, your talent will be completely wasted. What will you do when those augmentics companies stop sponsoring you?"

"Don't you see through their intentions in sponsoring you?"

"What will you do when the augmentics company stops sponsoring you?"

Gao Feng still wanted to persuade Yang Meng. After all, among the martial artists in the entire elite class, Yang Meng's talent was definitely one of the highest.

His blood energy limit had even reached 80 units, surpassing 80% of the martial artists in the Human Federation.

However, no matter how Gao Feng tried to persuade him, Yang Meng still looked at Gao Feng calmly and said softly, "But... as a martial artist, I am looked down upon by those mechanical augmentors and cultivators. I am clearly a genius, so why do people still despise me?"

Although his voice was calm, Lu Sheng, who was beside him, could hear the strong unwillingness hidden in Yang Meng's calm words.

To be honest, Lu Sheng didn't understand when he heard that Yang Meng wanted to switch to mechanical augmentation.

After all, this mechanical augmentation thing...

Lu Sheng shook his head. If he had the talent for immortal cultivation, he might switch from martial arts to cultivation. As for mechanical augmentation, forget it. Augmentations can't be grinded for proficiency.

"I am a genius! Not some trash. I have clearly become a second-stage transcendent, but those first-stage mechanical augmentors and even cultivators still look down on me!"

"I don't want to be so useless. I don't want to be an object of contempt in the eyes of others!"

"As for the intentions of those augmentics companies, Teacher Gao, I understand what you're saying, but... I believe that with my talent, I will satisfy those augmentics companies!"

After saying that, Yang Meng took a deep breath and looked at Gao Feng, his expression gradually becoming firm.

"I know that Teacher Gao has put too much effort and resources into me, but my mind is made up. The path of martial arts... I, Yang Meng, will not take it!"

"Martial arts... I will continue to walk this path!"

Yang Meng frowned slightly and snorted coldly, "A stubborn fellow. One day you will regret your decision!"

After saying that, Yang Meng left Gao Feng's office directly, not caring about the emotions of Lu Sheng and Gao Feng.

As for Gao Feng's previous sponsorship and guidance to Yang Meng, he didn't mention it at all, as if it had never happened.

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

Gao Feng sat blankly in his chair, looking at the emptiness in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

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

After a while, Gao Feng looked at Lu Sheng. The somewhat disheartened Gao Feng vaguely remembered the conversation between Yang Meng and Lu Sheng just now, and a reluctant smile appeared on his face.

"Since you are so confident in martial arts, I hope you can maintain this confidence and continue on!"

Hearing 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 good, but... he had a cheat!

As long as there was proficiency progress, he could fill it up sooner or later!

Looking at Lu Sheng's smiling face, Gao Feng's somewhat cold heart finally warmed up a bit. He rubbed his temples, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "I sponsored Yang Meng too much before, who knew it would have such consequences."

"I don't have too many resources to spare now. How about this, I will be in the office for the two days of the weekend. If you want to find me, just come directly. I will guide your martial arts all day on the weekends."

Gao Feng said such words, obviously completely giving up on Yang Meng and shifting his attention from Yang Meng to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Gao Feng's full-day guidance on the weekends was a rare opportunity for Lu Sheng.

Although he could get guidance from Li Mo before, it was clear that Li Mo's attainments in Longevity Stance were obviously not as good as Gao Feng's.

If he switched to Gao Feng's guidance, his Longevity Stance and even Five Elements Fist could improve faster.

At that time, his cultivation would also improve faster with the increase in proficiency of his techniques and martial skills!

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng said gratefully.

"Thank you, Teacher Gao!"
