Chapter 5

Qin Cheng was taken aback. He had spent a long time and expended a great deal of energy to uncover some secrets through his family connections.

But now, Wang Xuan had deduced even more through his own observations, suspecting that there was another path to touch the supernatural.

"So, the old techniques are just being discarded like this?!" Qin Cheng was very unwilling.

When he first heard those secrets, he was very excited, believing that he had finally uncovered the truth. He studied the old techniques to touch the supernatural.

It was at that moment that he firmly resolved to seriously study the old techniques and overcome all difficulties on this path.

But now, he heard that there seemed to be another path to approach the supernatural, which immediately poured cold water on his heart, which had just heated up.

It took Qin Cheng a long time to come back to his senses, feeling quite disheartened.

What exactly had the New Star discovered? Apart from mysterious phenomena, had they found a true path to the extraordinary?

Clearly, if true, this would cause unimaginable shock, both in terms of concepts and certain changes in the real world.

Qin Cheng was serious and earnest: "At this point, the opportunity to go to the New Star has become even more precious. If we can touch the supernatural and be at the forefront, anything you can imagine is possible!"

The two of them chatted while having breakfast.

"Special food transported from deep space, it's getting rarer with each meal. At first, I thought the taste was terrible, but now I feel a bit reluctant to let it go."

The two of them were quite reflective.

Although these ingredients were very rare and extremely expensive, the combination of various ingredients did not taste very good.

Qin Cheng asked Wang Xuan if he had talked to the old professor who taught them the old techniques to see if there was a way to solve the problem of going to the New Star.

Wang Xuan shook his head. Although the old professor liked him very much, he did not have that much power. In this old technique research project, he was only invited to teach the old techniques and did not participate in other aspects.

"What are their criteria for selecting people?" Qin Cheng was dissatisfied, feeling that it was very unfair to Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I guess it has something to do with a keen mind, releasing potential far beyond that of ordinary people, and touching the mysterious realm in some way."

He had seen the list of the first batch of selected people and made this inference.

For example, there was a pair of twin sisters in the class who often had inexplicable sensations. When the younger sister was startled, the older sister would also feel a sudden palpitation.

Once, when the older sister was peeling an apple and cut her finger deeply, the younger sister, who was in another city at the time, felt pain in the corresponding finger, despite the distance.

This phenomenon was inexplicable.

When selecting students for the experimental class, they were chosen first.

"What about He Qing?" Qin Cheng asked, puzzled.

In his impression, He Qing in the experimental class was introverted and simple, and did not talk much.

It was said that He Qing was not interested in the old techniques at first. He only enrolled because he heard that a decent and high-paying job would be guaranteed after graduation.

So Qin Cheng could not understand why He Qing, who clearly had resistance, was eventually selected.

"Something happened to He Qing. When he was fourteen, he saw his younger brother about to be hit by a speeding car. He rushed over without hesitation, forcefully pushed his brother away, and was run over by the car himself. However, he was not injured, only leaving a black mark on his body from the tire."

At the time, everyone was shocked and could not understand it. In the end, they could only believe that he had burst with some mysterious potential at the critical moment of life and death.

The investors in the old technique research project had investigated this incident from He Qing's youth, showing how deeply they understood him.

The first batch of selected people all had their own special qualities. For example, there was a girl with extraordinary perception. The most famous incident was when she felt extremely anxious before boarding a plane, thinking she was sick and had a heart problem, and went to see a doctor out of fear.

As it turned out, the plane she missed that day crashed.

"Is that even possible? We have such a monster in our class!" Qin Cheng was dumbfounded; he had never heard of this before.

Wang Xuan was also quite reflective. He was also stunned the first time he heard it, but this girl was the most special. The others and their stories were more or less acceptable.

...

That day, the list of those selected to go to the New Star was finally confirmed, and indeed, no new names were added.

Some people in the experimental class stayed behind, never giving up, waiting for the last chance. Now that the results were revealed, they were extremely disappointed.

Some people had a premonition, but they were still very upset.

Wang Xuan was very calm, having anticipated this result.

Qin Cheng sighed, feeling sorry for his friend. He had truly made a name for himself in the old techniques but was abandoned because the supernatural power at the end of deep space had revealed a glimpse, and another path had appeared!

The New Star had chosen the extraordinary and formally abandoned the old techniques!

Qin Cheng and Wang Xuan talked a lot, discussing the few friends who had left the class early. Both felt a sense of loss.

Wang Xuan was fine, staying on the old earth, and could still meet up with those few people.

Qin Cheng asked him, "Aren't you going to see your girlfriend? She's about to return to the New Star. If you don't go now, you'll really have no chance to see her again, and it will be hard to meet in the future."

Wang Xuan shook his head: "We've been apart for more than a year. I won't go to see her off to avoid causing her family to overthink and creating trouble for her. Let's just be at peace."

Qin Cheng sighed. Having a former girlfriend from the New Star had also put various pressures on Wang Xuan. Her family was quite aggressive and had come to the old earth to warn him several times.

"Could it be that her family is behind your not being selected, trying to suppress you and prevent you from going to the New Star?" Qin Cheng suddenly thought of this possibility.

Because Wang Xuan's former girlfriend's family was not ordinary.

Even though the old techniques were now abandoned.

But looking back, some people had sent their children from the New Star to learn the old techniques, clearly preparing to touch the supernatural. They must have had some background.

"It's not that!" Although he had limited contact with her family, Wang Xuan understood their character. They would not go to such lengths, especially since they had been apart for more than a year and had no further interaction.

Moreover, the old technique research project was backed by some powerful families, and no one dared to tamper with it.

As night fell and the stars twinkled, the two of them talked about everything.

"In a few days, I'm going to the New Moon. Wang Xuan, I have some mixed feelings. I really hope you have the chance to go to the New Star and touch the supernatural, to step onto that new path. But I also feel that they are discarding the old techniques like trash, which is too much, and we have all been abandoned!"

At this point, Qin Cheng calmed down and continued: "So, I also hope that you can achieve great success on the path of the old techniques. If those myths and legends are true, how wonderful it would be. One day, you could use the old techniques to resist the supernatural and suppress the beings in the extraordinary realm of the New Star, making them realize how wrong it was to abandon the old techniques!"

He had always been skeptical of the old techniques, but now he hoped that the myths and legends of past generations had some basis and could be realized.

But after a moment of calm, he sighed again. It was all unrealistic; the so-called legends had no basis.

Wang Xuan looked up at the starry sky. Did the immortals and myths of ancient times really exist?

He shook his head. Even if there was solid evidence that the immortals had once existed, it would only give future generations confidence, but it had no meaning for him.

Because he did not believe in immortals or Buddhas. He studied the old techniques not because of those myths but because he liked to explore and wanted to see how far the path of the old techniques could go.

Whether the immortals existed or not, he did not care. He was firm in his belief and was testing this path with his own experience.

I heard that voting for the moon tonight will be quadrupled, which is too brutal. Even double is not enough. If you have a moon vote, please give it to "Deep Space Beyond."
