Chapter 695: Subjugation Force
Chapter 695: Subjugation Force
Qi Qianyang perched on the large bird, flying eastward out of the central city. After over an hour above the sea, he spotted an island.
The bird gradually descended, and when they were just a few dozen meters above the ground, Qi Qianyang stood up and leaped from the air.
Below him was a large reef by the sea, and standing on it was a man in his late thirties. This man was another instructor from the Swamp Training Camp, and upon seeing Qi Qianyang, he asked, "Did you succeed?"
Qi Qianyang glanced at his arm, and a cracking sound emanated from his once limp arm. The flesh and bones were gradually correcting and healing, and within a few minutes, they were completely restored.
Qi Qianyang clenched his fingers, sensing the altered organization's feedback, and nodded, "I succeeded."
He had cultivated one of the Pure Sect's three secret transmission force techniques, the Subjugation Force. This technique allowed him to regulate various parts of his body and, when mastered, enabled him to coordinate every subtle altered organization within his body, unleashing his full life potential.
The Subjugation Force's specialty was that once it had endured an opponent's force or been damaged by a particular force, the altered organization could adapt and withstand that force if it was restored within a certain timeframe.
The next time he faced an enemy, the force's impact on him would be significantly reduced, or even have no effect.
This time, Qi Qianyang's challenge to Chen Chuan was not without calculation. He had a plan to endure Chen Chuan's force and increase his chances of victory.
Although there was some scheming involved, Qi Qianyang didn't think it was wrong. After all, in combat, one must use all means necessary, and the ultimate goal was to defeat the opponent. Moreover, his force dictated that this approach was more reliable and suited him better.
The instructor on the reef spoke up, "Instructor Qi, although you succeeded, the traces you left are too obvious. The opponent you mentioned will likely guess your intentions from your actions afterward."
"Knowing won't make a difference," Qi Qianyang dismissed the concern.
Qi Qianyang didn't care. He let go of his hand and said, "I've taken the initiative. Would he hastily cultivate another force in a hurry?"
The instructor across from him agreed with this statement, but he still believed that Qi Qianyang's approach was too crude and lacked consideration for the process.
This time, to accommodate Qi Qianyang, a third-limit fighter trained in the camp, had sacrificed himself, and two others were still not completely free.
Such individuals were challenging to cultivate; in the fifteen years since the camp's establishment, only a handful had reached this level. A more thoughtful plan could have resulted in a more reasonable and less costly solution, but Qi Qianyang was too impulsive and didn't care about the consequences for others.
"Instructor Qi, I must remind you to value these individuals," the instructor said. "Although they are now under our command, they are the product of the teacher's cultivation. You should cherish them, not treat them as expendable pawns."
Qi Qianyang scoffed, "These people are meant to be used. I admit they might face danger, but why should I consider their well-being? I am their master; they must obey my commands."
The instructor shook his head, "The teacher would never approve of your words."
Upon hearing the mention of the teacher, Qi Qianyang's expression finally showed a hint of reverence. He said irritably, "Don't bring up the teacher. When I was with the teacher, you didn't even know where you were."
Qi Qianyang seemed uninterested in further conversation and turned to leave. After a few steps, he paused as if remembering something. "Wait and see. Once I expel the Pure Sect's branch, the teacher will approve of my actions."
The instructor watched Qi Qianyang leave, shaking his head. He muttered to himself, "Instructor Qi, you don't understand. The teacher's thoughts have never been like this."
After leaving the Processing Bureau, Chen Chuan immediately drove to Weiguang District to meet with Chang Dong and Gao Yanjun. He briefed them on the previous encounter.
Chang Dong said, "He made such a big commotion just to challenge you, Instructor Chen?"
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and replied, "I believe the location he chose for our battle is somewhere in the Convergence Zone."
"So, he wants to take advantage of the home field," Chang Dong added.
"That doesn't make sense either," Chang Dong continued. "If that were the case, there would be no need for him to go out of his way to meet you personally. There must be another intention."
As he thought further, Chang Dong suddenly realized a detail he had almost overlooked. His expression changed as he looked at Chen Chuan and then at Gao Yanjun. "I think I know what he's up to."
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Chang Dong said, "That person learned many secrets of our Pure Sect. His primary cultivation is the Subjugation Force, a secret technique that can be passed on to a fighter and has a subsequent, continuous cultivation method. He might have taught the Subjugation Force to Qi Qianyang."
Chang Dong then explained the characteristics of this force and concluded with a serious warning to Chen Chuan, "Instructor Chen, your force might have been endured and adapted to by him. Be extremely cautious if you encounter this person again."
Chen Chuan listened intently, and his heart immediately understood the situation. No wonder they had gone to such great lengths and even arranged an escape route; if this was the case, then it all made sense.
As for Percival Harford, it might have just been a coincidence, but he could tell that Qi Qianyang's gaze held a hint of recklessness, as if he was about to write down whatever he wanted to do on his face.
If this was the case, he could only blame Harford for appearing at the wrong time and place.
As for their opponent's power, he wasn't particularly worried. Zhou Yuan's power could emulate various martial arts, and it was the least likely to be restrained by a single technique.
Moreover, even if the subjugation force was mysterious, there was still a certain limit to what it could withstand. Under greater strength and speed, even the same power would exhibit different levels of might.
Chen Chuan said, "Our Pure Sect's secret technique? I'd like to experience this power for myself."
Veneration District, underground station, 4:40 p.m.
Xu Chan carried a box and walked out of the elevator, heading towards the train parked in front. Behind him followed three people, all wearing special protective cover garments.
This time, upon entering the Convergence Zone, the higher-ups had assigned him three execution team leaders, and each leader had two members, forming a ten-person squad.
Among them was one person from the Processing Bureau, two from the Defense Department, and all the team members, including the squad members, had extensive experience in the Convergence Zone.
All three team leaders possessed Heart Strength, and Spirit Sense was a technique only mastered by those with extremely high talent. Currently, only Xu Chan in the team had reached that level.
However, their ten-person squad was just a small part of a larger team, and they had a whole team backing them up. This time, a large number of elite forces had been mobilized.
After arriving at the team's base in the Convergence Zone, the front section of the route would be escorted by the military, and the base's logistics would provide support.
So, for the initial part of the journey, they didn't have to worry about anything, but once they ventured deeper into the Convergence Zone, things would be different. There, they would receive no support and would have to rely entirely on themselves.
The group boarded the train and sat down in the soft chairs.
Xu Chan checked the time; the train would depart in ten minutes. Just then, the World Credential rang, and he tapped it, "Specialist?"
Specialist Liang's voice sounded, "Old Xu, I've arranged for the message to be sent to the Pioneer Team that was dispatched earlier. If they receive it, they might be able to help you."
Xu Chan said, "Thank you, Specialist."
In the 6th book of the 19th book, there is no mistake!
The members of the Pioneer Team were indeed highly skilled and very familiar with the Convergence Zone. However, it was difficult to receive messages from them once they ventured deep into the Convergence Zone, and they had their own tasks, so this could only be a backup option.
"Old Xu, be careful."
Xu Chan said, "Understood."
After ending the call, a short while passed, and a few short horn blasts sounded. The train beneath them began to move slowly, heading towards the Convergence Zone.
Jiyang District, near the port.
A convoy was driving along the dedicated road on the sea dike. Wen Guanli sat in his own car, observing the situation outside and receiving messages from various places.
He hadn't slept for four days and four nights, and when he felt tired, he would eat nutrient paste and adjust his breathing method.
This work situation hadn't occurred in a long time since he took on the role of Investigation Supervisor.
But he had no choice but to endure it. This time, he was nominally responsible for the security of the Linax Federation's diplomatic team, but in reality, he was there to monitor and control them. His task from above was to do everything possible to delay and obstruct these people from entering the Convergence Zone.
Due to the Linax Federation's differences with the Union, their relationship with the Great Harmony Government had always been strained. As a result, their company only had a few affairs departments and outposts in the Central City, and they lacked a formal channel to enter the Convergence Zone.
So, they could only choose a covert path.
However, completely blocking them was unlikely. They could block the channels within the Central City's urban area, but it was challenging to control the channels beneath the seabed, as those were in the hands of the City Council.
As long as the Linax Federation promised sufficiently generous conditions, the City Council would open the channels.
He rubbed his forehead; the current situation required strengthening surveillance beneath the seabed. After all, due to the relationship between the two countries, the City Council wouldn't dare to openly engage in such actions.
The interference from the Council and the company was significant, and sometimes he had to step in personally to withstand the pressure.
But no matter what, he had to persevere. The tighter the seal he created and the longer the obstruction, the more time he could buy for Xu Chan.
At this moment, the convoy's speed suddenly slowed down.
He frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
"Report, it's Han Guanli's car ahead."
"Oh?"
A convoy approached from the opposite direction, and as the two main cars passed each other, the windows on both sides were lowered.
Wen Guanli looked at Han Guanli, who was sitting in the main seat, and said with a smile, "Han Guanli, what a coincidence."
