Chapter 369: Techniques
After returning to the Mystic Palace Tower from Ink Mountain, Chen Chuan contemplated the information shared by Cao Guiqi, which revealed even more internal details.
According to this senior student, the Third Limit was a challenging stage, but the collision of the two worlds had unexpectedly opened up new possibilities.
With the crisis came an opportunity.
On a personal level, Chen Chuan was determined to pursue this path relentlessly, but at present, cultivation resources seemed only accessible through the government and companies, a rather limited and singular approach.
Chen Chuan sensed that Cao Guiqi had deliberately avoided mentioning something, probably due to the sensitive nature of the matter. He understood that it likely involved complex and confidential issues, but this also implied that the path wasn't entirely blocked; it was just not an easy one to take.
At this thought, Chen Chuan couldn't help but think of He Xiaoxing, a teacher who didn't operate within Central City. How did he manage his cultivation resources?
Chen Chuan speculated that he might have joined an organization with access to the Rift, most likely the Purefaction. From Instructor Wen's situation, it was clear that the Purefaction was not to be underestimated.
This seemed like another path, and he could try to make contact. However, Chen Chuan was aware that every demand came with a cost. With the current unclear situation and his lack of involvement in the World Ring's recruitment, he decided to wait. It would be best to wait for news from Gao Ming before taking any action.
Chen Chuan needed to gather more information from various sources before deciding on the right path.
But...
Suddenly, something crossed his mind. He left the living room and went to the training room, where he opened a cabinet and retrieved an item—a glass tube containing a liquid that emitted a faint glow.
This item was obtained from You Xing, and it had been stored with other cultivation drugs. However, after some research, Chen Chuan couldn't find any matching information about it, neither in the market nor on the Wu Yi Platform.
Now, he wondered if this could be one of those special drugs. The possibility was high.
You Xing was no ordinary person. A Third Limit fighter not only possessed the skills of a Resonator but also had an independent Resonance Nest and the ability to utilize ghost stories. Thinking about it, he realized that You Xing was indeed a talented individual.
Such abilities couldn't have been achieved without support. Recalling the images from the Resonance Nest's light screen, Chen Chuan suspected that it might have been a rift created by the collision of the two worlds.
If so, the item in his hand could very well be what he thought it was.
To confirm, he could test it, and even if it wasn't, there was no harm done. With his Second, he could handle any potential damage without much worry.
However, Chen Chuan didn't attempt it immediately.
It had only been about a month since he attained the Third Limit, and his Altered Organ was still in a rapid growth phase, showing no signs of slowing down. He decided to wait until this growth stabilized before considering using such items, which would take at least one or two months. So, he put the item back.
Returning to the training room, Chen Chuan prepared to practice his Biofield Domain techniques.
Just as he started, Gao Ming's communication came through: "Brother-in-law, I've arranged a meeting with Fusion Boundary. It's set for this Rest Day at the Shu Tian Xia Hotel."
"Thanks, Gao Ming," Chen Chuan replied.
As soon as he finished this conversation, a notification appeared on his World Token, indicating an incoming call from the Handling Bureau platform. He answered, and a young voice introduced himself:
"Greetings, I'm Chai Mi, the liaison officer for the Special Action Execution Team at the Handling Bureau. You can just call me Little Chai."
When Chen Chuan became an official execution agent, he learned about the team's specifics through the internal platform. This team had no hierarchical structure and was specifically formed for Third Limit fighters.
Each member had their own armed special vehicle and a dedicated liaison officer.
The liaison officers were responsible for information communication. If there was any news, the bureau would contact the agents through these officers.
Chen Chuan responded, "Hello, Officer Chai. Is there a situation at the bureau that requires my attention?"
Chai Mi explained, "The bureau is currently tracking a Viper Organization, which is suspected of being involved in the trafficking of Grade B forbidden items. Due to a shortage of personnel for the pacification operation, the bureau hasn't been able to carry out a raid. Since you're available, Agent Chen, the bureau needs your participation."
A series of images and text appeared on Chen Chuan's World Token, providing information about the Viper Organization. This group was formed by extremist elements that split from the Mi She Sect due to dissatisfaction with its commercialized approach.
Initially, they established their own sect, but it has now become a semi-mercenary criminal organization with little connection to religious groups.
The Viper Organization had attracted the bureau's attention due to its leadership comprising Third Limit fighters, but there hadn't been enough manpower to address the issue.
"He now understood that the Handling Bureau had access to a considerable amount of combat power, but most of it was dedicated to protecting government officials and securing vital city nodes, guarding against more extreme incidents.
In the case of Wei Wu Sheng, since it didn't involve any central city companies or political figures, it was classified as a Level Three or lower security incident. As such, only limited forces could be dispatched for the pacification operation, which allowed Wei Wu Sheng to repeatedly slip through the net. This indicated that the people behind Wei Wu Sheng were well aware of the boundaries they couldn't cross.
On the other hand, the Viper Organization had crossed the line of a Level Three security incident, making them a priority target for immediate action once the necessary personnel were assembled.
After reviewing the information, he responded, "Liaison Chai, let me know when it's time to take action."
Chai Mi replied, "Sure, once the specific action plan and timing are confirmed, I'll immediately notify Enforcement Officer Chen and arrange for a special vehicle to pick you up."
After ending the communication with Chen Chuan, he returned his focus to his own training. With the help of Teacher Jiang's three field domain templates, he gradually became proficient through repeated practice.
In just two days, he had mastered the ability to alter his field domain at will, wherever and whenever he wanted. Since the template was relatively simple, he could almost make it seem real.
This was more than enough to deal with fighters who didn't specialize in this aspect. But to be honest, could such fighters truly pose a threat to him? Teacher Jiang had mentioned that no true power among the Third Limit Fighters was one-dimensional. Therefore, they should also excel in field domain manipulation. He needed to consider these fighters as his potential opponents.
So, he still had a long way to go.
After mastering these field domain templates, he needed to further refine his ability to discern and sense. Thus, he utilized simulation resources to summon Hong Fu, who could simulate various field domain effects, from weak to strong. Once he reached the Third Limit, the simulation resources allowed him to practice for eight hours daily. In just two days, he became familiar with and mastered these techniques.
At this point, he felt he had learned enough for now and sought out Teacher Jiang again for guidance on his next steps in cultivation.
Teacher Jiang first tested his cultivation results and, finding them proficient, suggested, "Trainee Chen, you can try to master some more complex templates now.
I'll provide you with a platform where you can purchase templates or even adjust and construct your own. The ultimate goal is to deceive and conceal yourself from your opponents.
Beyond this point, I can't teach you much more, as it's all about accumulating experience. But I can share some of my own experiences with you."
"Please do, Teacher Jiang," Chen Chuan said.
"The field domain contains a wealth of information, including emotions, willpower, physical condition, and the activity of altered organs," Teacher Jiang explained. "With more experience, you can not only understand your opponents better but also compare and differentiate between their strengths and weaknesses, thus rectifying your own path."
After saying this, he smiled and added, "And beyond these, I'll share with you the most powerful technique in field domain combat."
Chen Chuan was a bit surprised. Was there such a thing as the most powerful technique in this context? Based on his experience, there was no ultimate technique in fighting; only the most suitable one. He didn't believe in a one-size-fits-all solution.
But Teacher Jiang slowly explained, "The ultimate technique in field domain combat is to make your opponent feel despair, even if you expose your own information. This strikes a devastating blow to your enemy in battle, causing a deep-seated impact that sometimes leads to spiritual despair, shattering their confidence and even their courage to face you in combat."
As he looked at Chen Chuan, he continued, "Once you reach a certain level of power, you won't need to conceal your field domain; instead, you can release it without restraint."
Chen Chuan paused for a moment, nodding in agreement.
Teacher Jiang's words were indeed true, though they might seem blunt on the surface. It was a technique because strength was always relative; one needed to clearly discern their opponent before applying specific tactics.
This primarily required a certain level of proficiency in field domain manipulation; otherwise, it would be a blind display of power, inadvertently revealing one's true abilities to the opponent.
If one could truly reach this level of mastery, many opponents weaker than them wouldn't even require direct confrontation. Their field domain alone could dismantle the opponent's fighting spirit on a mental level.
Chen Chuan sincerely expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Teacher Jiang. I find this technique very useful."
Seeing that Chen Chuan understood, Teacher Jiang felt relieved and said, "It's good that you find it useful. Beyond this, I don't have much more advice to offer. Remember to share your future insights with me."
"I will," Chen Chuan assured him.
