Chapter 716: Ready to Depart
Chapter 716: Ready to Depart
By noon, Chen Chuan had meticulously organized all the necessary items and categorized them into a sturdy half-man-high box.
For this trip to the Fusion Ground, he didn't require the assistance of his team members; he was more than capable of handling it alone.
While squad members could be helpful for regular missions, this time they were up against the elite fighters of the Union and the Linaksis Federation, each with extraordinary combat abilities. Fighters below this caliber would only hinder such a battle, becoming a liability.
However, acting alone, Chen Chuan had no such concerns and could fully utilize his strengths.
But he wasn't going without any support. This time, he decided to bring Chao Ming.
Aerial reconnaissance was always useful, and Chao Ming's ability to detect enemy traces and potential dangers from above would be invaluable.
Although the Fusion Ground lacked a large field domain for communication, Chen Chuan could bring a small field creature to maintain a communication range of one to two kilometers, which was sufficient. Even without these, he could communicate with Chao Ming using his own field and spiritual connection.
In the Central City, Chao Ming had limited opportunities for growth beyond allowing the Anomaly Organization to develop naturally and performing some special training exercises.
The growth of the Anomaly Organization depended on two factors: the environment and external stimuli. Sufficient external stimulation was necessary to force out its latent potential.
The Fusion Ground was an ideal place for this, despite its ferocious creatures. With Chen Chuan's presence, they could face the challenges together, and it would be a good opportunity to mentor Chao Ming.
However, there was one issue. The Fusion Ground had a certain type of contamination that caused the body tissues of fighters to undergo self-activated transformation. Currently, this contamination also affected foreign organisms to some extent, although not as severely as it did humans.
The garrison typically dealt with this situation using medication, which, over time, could lead to resistance. However, since most organisms brought in were considered disposable, resistance was rarely a concern.
But Chao Ming was different. A simple solution wouldn't suffice.
Chen Chuan pondered for a moment. If fighters didn't take medication, they needed to resist contamination through specific breathing techniques.
Most organisms lacked the judgment and self-awareness to resist contamination independently. With dedicated training, it was possible, but it was usually unnecessary unless the organism had unique and significant abilities.
Chao Ming was different from ordinary organisms; his intelligence was higher. During his cultivation, he had already demonstrated this, quickly grasping various skills. Perhaps he could master this technique as well.
After further consideration, Chen Chuan accessed the Defense Department's platform and retrieved various breathing techniques from the database. He compared them, identified the key elements, and then customized a breathing technique for Chao Ming based on his unique traits.
With time being limited, Chen Chuan opted to use a mind imprint to directly embed the breathing technique into Chao Ming's consciousness. Simultaneously, he used his Heart Force Power to penetrate and help Chao Ming familiarize himself with the technique.
Under Chen Chuan's Heart Force coordination, Chao Ming formed a preliminary physical memory of the technique in less than thirty minutes. After Chen Chuan withdrew his support, Chao Ming was already able to execute the breathing technique independently, and all that remained was to become more familiar with it.
Chen Chuan nodded in satisfaction. Now, he would see if Chao Ming could adapt to the Fusion Ground. If not, Chao Ming would take the medication and be brought back.
After finishing his tasks completed, Chen Chuan swallowed some nutrient gel and sat down cross-legged to review the information Mr. Zhuan had shared through the mind imprint.
As he scrolled through the information, he confirmed Mr. Zhuan's claim that entering the Fourth Limit itself wasn't difficult. The real challenge lay in the preparatory work and the foundation laid beforehand.
Additionally, certain medications were required.
The box Mr. Zhuan had given him contained the promotion medications.
These medications were also challenging to obtain, although not as scarce as Pure Essence, which was almost exclusively controlled by higher authorities. They were virtually unavailable on the market, and those who needed them had to submit applications for approval, undergoing rigorous scrutiny and questioning from higher-ups, as the promotion channels were tightly controlled.
Fortunately, after joining the Purity School, Chen Chuan no longer faced this obstacle. All the medications were supplied through the school's internal channels, with headquarters allocating them directly to him, eliminating the need for him to find alternative sources.
Thus, a significant hurdle was effortlessly cleared, demonstrating the benefits of joining a school, though this advantage was specific to the Purity School, as each school had its unique rules and regulations.
The green tangerine given to him by Teacher Schu seemed to serve an unclear purpose, and its specific function was not immediately apparent. However, Teacher Schu had instructed Chen Chuan to consume it when he deemed it appropriate, assuring him of its usefulness.
After all, Teacher Schu had taught Chen Chuan his spiritual cultivation method, which might contain some unique elements.
As Chen Chuan contemplated his next steps in cultivation, a notification sound from the Dimensional Token by his ear caught his attention. It was a message from the Defense Department, confirming his departure time for the following morning at 5 AM.
Ryan nodded in agreement, as this timing suited his intentions perfectly. Captain Xu and his team were unaware of the current situation, and the sooner they entered the Fusion Zone, the better.
He checked the time; it was just past 1:00 p.m. He had already made prior arrangements for the bureau's affairs, and each squad member had their own tasks. There were no issues at the Fusion Boundary for the time being.
As for the Linked Vigor Mastery case, he had also taken care of it, instructing them to proceed with the normal process and not worry about other matters. He would handle the specifics upon his return.
However, this time, he wasn't sure how long he would be in the Fusion Zone, and once deeply immersed, he wouldn't be able to contact the outside world.
He stood up and contacted Gao Ming first, informing him about his task. This way, if his aunt's family called, Gao Ming could provide an update.
After making sure everything was clear, he left the practice room, washed up, changed his clothes, and walked out of the house. He drove towards the Wei Guang District, arriving at the Bi Shu Street Military Family Zone.
The guard at the entrance saluted as he drove in, and he proceeded to the lawn where he had been before.
Chen Xiaojin was training hard, and after Chen Chuan's guidance, his progress was visible. He had been practicing diligently, and there was no sign of slacking off.
His physical fitness had improved significantly, which couldn't be attributed to ordinary training alone. It seemed that the Enlightenment Seed was taking effect.
Chen Chuan had distributed the seeds to everyone, and so far, only Lu Fang, Wei Dong, and Luo Kaiyuan had shown clear feedback. The others hadn't benefited from the seeds, but now, it seemed Chen Xiaojin had also made progress.
Chen Xiaojin noticed Chen Chuan getting out of the car and ran over, bowing enthusiastically, "Teacher Chen."
Chen Chuan saw that he was much more confident than before, likely due to his progress, which boosted his self-belief.
He could tell that Xiaojin had always felt inferior, believing he couldn't live up to his older siblings, which disappointed his father, Chen Bitong. This drove him to practice hard, determined to prove himself.
However, talent is innate, and it's not something that can be easily compensated for through hard work alone.
But now, things were different. The Enlightenment Seed had enhanced his potential. Although he still lagged behind his siblings, the gap wasn't insurmountable. His determination would take him far.
Chen Chuan said, "I saw that you've been practicing as I instructed. From now on, you can increase your practice sessions to eighty times a day. If you don't feel any discomfort, you can increase it to a hundred times a day after ten days. We'll discuss further when I return."
Chen Xiaojin couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Chen, are you going to the Fusion Zone?"
Chen Chuan nodded, "I'll be back soon. During this time, don't go out. Keep practicing here."
Chen Xiaojin nodded in agreement.
After a while, Chen Chuan drove off, leaving the Military Family Zone and heading towards the Shen Wei District. He stopped in front of Lu Fang's Martial Arts Gym.
Lu Fang had sent a message saying that he felt his anomalous growth was very noticeable, and his fighting skills were improving rapidly. This situation had never occurred before, and he wondered if it was due to the Enlightenment Seed.
Chen Chuan hadn't seen it before, so he couldn't say for sure. After meeting Lu Fang and observing him with his spiritual field, he said, "Lu, if I'm not mistaken, your body is approaching the Third Limit."
Lu Fang was taken aback. Although reaching the Third Limit had always been his goal, he hadn't closely monitored his progress. He hadn't expected this answer, and his emotions were mixed with excitement and a sense of loss.
Chen Chuan didn't find it strange. Lu Fang's talent and aptitude were the best in his class, which was why he was the vice-president of the Society of Diligent Hearts.
If he had entered the Central Academy and received proper training, he might have already reached the Third Limit.
To reach the Third Limit, a specific method was required, and the best way was to circulate one's breathing power. That was the technique taught by Cao Guixi.
From his current perspective, he had gained many insights, especially with the acquisition of spiritual power, which enabled him to do things he couldn't before.
Chen Chuan considered for a moment and said, "Lu, relax and don't overthink it. I have to go out for a while. When the time is right, I'll come and teach you how to break through."
