Chapter 716: Preparation for Departure
Chapter 716: Preparation for Departure
By noon, Chen Chuan had organized all the items he needed to bring and categorized them into a sturdy box half the height of a person.
For this trip to the Convergence Zone, he didn't require the assistance of others; he alone was sufficient.
If it were a regular mission, the squad members could be of great help, but this time, the opponents were the Coalition and the elite fighters of the Linax Federation. Each of them was extremely powerful, and fighters below this level would only hinder such a battle. Instead, they would become a liability.
However, Chen Chuan had no such concerns, and he could better demonstrate his strength alone.
But instead of bringing any assistants, he decided to bring Chao Ming.
Aerial reconnaissance was always useful, helping him detect enemy traces and potential dangers in advance.
Although the Convergence Zone lacked a large-scale communication field, Chen Chuan could bring a small domain creature to maintain a communication distance of one to two kilometers, which was sufficient. Even without these, he could still communicate with Chao Ming using his own field and mental connection.
Apart from allowing the Altered Organization to grow within the Central City and performing some special training exercises, Chao Ming rarely received any significant challenges.
The growth of the Altered Organization depended on two factors: the environment and the opponent. This required sufficient external stimulation to force out the potential inherent in these organisms.
The Convergence Zone was undoubtedly an appropriate place, although the creatures there were also extremely fierce. With Chen Chuan present, they could face them together, and it would be a good opportunity to cultivate Chao Ming.
There was just one issue: the Convergence Zone had a certain type of infection. The body tissue of fighters would undergo self-activation transformation. Currently, this infection also affected foreign organisms to a certain extent, although not as severely as it did to humans.
The garrison usually dealt with this situation by using drugs, which could develop resistance with long-term use. However, since the organisms brought in were mostly treated as consumables, they wouldn't necessarily develop resistance, so this wasn't a significant concern.
However, the same approach couldn't be applied to Chao Ming.
Chen Chuan contemplated and then accessed the Defense Department's database, where he retrieved various breathing techniques. After comparing them, he identified the key elements and, based on Chao Ming's characteristics, tailored a set of breathing techniques specifically for him.
Due to time constraints, Chen Chuan chose to directly imprint this set of breathing techniques into Chao Ming's consciousness using mental imprinting, simultaneously penetrating with his force to help Chao Ming become familiar with the techniques.
Under Chen Chuan's force coordination, Chao Ming formed a preliminary physical memory of the techniques in less than thirty minutes. After Chen Chuan withdrew his force, Chao Ming was already able to autonomously execute this set of breathing techniques, and all that was left was continuous practice.
Chen Chuan nodded, indicating that he would observe how Chao Ming fared in the Convergence Zone. If Chao Ming couldn't adapt, he would take drugs and have someone bring him back.
After finishing his tasks, Chen Chuan consumed several nutrient bars and then moved to the side, sitting cross-legged to examine the information Specialist Zhuan had passed to him through mental imprinting.
After a general review, he found that Specialist Zhuan was correct. The method to reach the fourth limit was not inherently difficult; the main challenges lay in the preparatory work and the foundation laid beforehand.
Additionally, some drugs were required for this process.
The box Specialist Xue had given him contained the necessary drugs for promotion.
These drugs were also very difficult to obtain. Although they weren't as strictly controlled as pure essence, they were almost unavailable on the market. If one needed them, an application had to be submitted to the higher-ups. Those not affiliated with any faction would likely undergo repeated questioning, as the channels for advancement were strictly controlled.
Fortunately, after joining the Pure Sect, this obstacle no longer existed. All these drugs were obtained through the sect's channels, directly allocated by the headquarters, eliminating the need for Chen Chuan to find other means.
Thus, a hurdle that could have potentially blocked Chen Chuan's progress was effortlessly overcome. This was the advantage of joining a sect, though it varied among different sects, each with its own rules.
As for the green tangerine Specialist Xue had given him, its purpose seemed unclear. However, Specialist Xue had told him to consume it when he deemed it appropriate, assuring him that it would serve a purpose.
After all, the mental cultivation method Specialist Xue had taught him might have some unique aspects.
As Chen Chuan was contemplating his next cultivation step, a notification sound came from the boundary token in his ear. It was a message from the Defense Department, confirming his departure time for tomorrow morning at five o'clock.
He nodded in agreement, the timing was perfect for Xu Captain's team, as they were unaware of the current situation and the sooner they entered the Convergence Zone, the better.
Glancing at his watch, it was just past 1:00 p.m. He had already made the necessary arrangements at the bureau, ensuring each squad member was accounted for, and the Fusion Border Division was also under control.
Regarding the Liang Wei Zhong Yu case, he had given instructions to proceed with the standard protocol, disregarding any other concerns for the time being. He would address the specifics upon his return.
However, this time, he wasn't sure how long it would take to complete the mission in the Convergence Zone. Once inside, communication with the outside world would be impossible. It was essential to inform a familiar person beforehand.
He stood up and contacted Gao Ming, informing him of his mission. This way, if there were any calls from his aunt's family, Gao Ming could provide an update on the situation.
After making the necessary arrangements, he left the training room, freshened up, changed his clothes, and exited the house. He got into his car and drove towards Wei Guang District.
Upon reaching Green Tree Street in the Military Family Zone, he entered through the gate, greeted by the guards' salutes. He made his way to the lawn where he had been before.
Chen Xiao Jin was training diligently. After his previous guidance, his progress was evident, and it was clear that he had been practicing rigorously during this time, without a hint of slackness.
Notably, his physical fitness had improved significantly, which was not something achievable through ordinary training alone. It seemed that the Enlightenment Seed was taking effect.
Chen Chuan had distributed Enlightenment Seeds to everyone, and currently, only Lu Fang, Wei Dong, and Luo Kai Yuan showed clear signs of improvement. The others hadn't benefited from the seeds, but now it seemed that Chen Xiao Jin was also making progress.
At that moment, Chen Xiao Jin noticed Chen Chuan stepping out of the car, and he immediately became ecstatic, running over and bowing respectfully, "Teacher Chen."
Chen Chuan observed that Chen Xiao Jin was more lively than before, likely due to his progress, which boosted his confidence.
Chen Chuan could tell that although Chen Xiao Jin had been determined, deep down, he had always felt inferior. This was because he believed he couldn't measure up to his older siblings, and his father, Chen Bitong, was disappointed in him. So, he had been working tirelessly to prove himself.
In a 1619 book, there was not a single mistake!
However, talent is innate, and it's not something that can be easily compensated for through mere effort.
But things were different now. The Enlightenment Seed had enhanced his potential, and although he still had a gap to bridge with his older siblings, it wasn't insurmountable. With his determination and perseverance, he could go far.
Chen Chuan said, "I just saw your practice, and you've been following my instructions. From now on, you can increase your practice sessions to eighty times a day if you don't feel any discomfort. After ten days, you can increase it to a hundred times daily, and we'll discuss further when I return."
For some reason, Chen Xiao Jin blurted out, "Teacher Chen, are you going to the Convergence Zone?"
Chen Chuan glanced at him and nodded. "I'll be back soon. During this time, stay here and continue practicing. Don't go out."
Chen Xiao Jin nodded earnestly. "Teacher Chen, I'll wait for you to come back."
Chen Chuan acknowledged with a sound.
After a while, he drove off, leaving the Military Family Zone and heading towards the Shen Wei District. He stopped in front of the martial arts school where Lu Fang was located.
The reason for his visit was a message from Lu Fang, who felt that his altered growth was very evident, and his martial arts skills had improved rapidly. This situation had never occurred before, and he wondered if it was due to the Enlightenment Seed.
Chen Chuan, who hadn't seen him before, couldn't comment. But after entering and observing Lu Fang with his mental field, he said, "Lu, if I'm not mistaken, your body is on the verge of reaching the third limit."
Lu Fang was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. Although reaching the third limit had always been his goal, he hadn't been closely monitoring his progress. He hadn't expected this answer, and his emotions were a mix of excitement and disappointment.
Chen Chuan, however, wasn't surprised. Lu Fang's talent and aptitude were among the best in his class, which was why he was the vice president of the Vigorous Heart Society.
If he had had the opportunity to enter the Central Academy back then and gained sufficient resources, he might have already reached the third limit.
To reach the third limit, a specific method was required, and the best approach was to harness the power of one's breath and energy flow. Initially, his technique was taught to him by Cao Gui Qi.
At his current level, looking back, he had developed many techniques of his own, especially after acquiring spiritual power, which enabled him to do many things that were previously impossible.
After some thought, Chen Chuan said, "Lu, relax and don't overthink it. I need to go out for a while. When the time is right, I'll come back and tell you how to break through this restriction."
