Naming Technique of the Night
In the neon of blue and purple, under the thick steel sky, at the forefront of this surge of data, lies the world post-tech revolution. It's also the dividing line between reality and illusion. Steel and flesh, past and future. In this place, the world outside and inside coexist. Everything in front of us feels like a wall of time within reach. The darkness is slowly creeping in. But hey, my friend, you gotta know, we can't just counter darkness with softness. Gotta use fire.

Qing Chen struggled back to his bedroom and lay down. The self-healing ability of a Transcendent far exceeded that of ordinary humans, and it was uncertain how long it would take for him to recover this time.
"Yi, are you there?" Qing Chen asked.
"I am here," came Yi's voice from the phone.

"Familiar," Yi answered straightforwardly, "The first life-and-death trial hammers the muscles, the second the fasciae, the third the bones, the fourth the skin, the fifth hammers the True Qi, the sixth brings about the grand completion of True Qi, and the seventh steps into the realm of transcendence, becoming a Demigod."
These seven stages correspond respectively to the F, E, D, C, B, A, S ranks, each rank's life-and-death trial involving a different Genetic lock.
