Chapter 784: Cultivating the Self for a Brighter Future
Processing Bureau Medical Rehabilitation Area, Room 509.
Yang Ling was sitting upright in her hospital bed, reading a book. Her body had recovered significantly, but as she wasn't a fighter, many of the more potent medications couldn't be used. So, after more than ten days, she still needed to remain in the hospital.
Due to the trauma she had suffered, and the relatively enclosed environment, it wasn't suitable to use bio-field domain items. Therefore, she could only compensate for her mental emptiness by reading books.
Just then, she heard the sound of a door opening outside, and soon after, she saw Chen Chuan, dressed in a security uniform, walking in. She put her book aside and sat up straight, saying, "Manager Chen."
Chen Chuan glanced at Yang Ling, noticing that her complexion had improved significantly. The biofilm on her face had been removed, revealing the newly regenerated skin tissue. He took a look at the book by her side, titled "Strange Tales Collection."
Chen Chuan sat down and asked, "Are you interested in this kind of thing?"
Yang Ling replied softly, "Yes, I like reading them."
Chen Chuan nodded and asked, "Have you been practicing the breathing technique?"
Yang Ling nodded and said, "Yes, I've been practicing it. Thank you, Manager Chen. It's very useful. I don't have headaches anymore."
Chen Chuan said, "Regarding the previous conflict, even though you were also a victim, you can't avoid punishment. Once you've recovered, someone will come to talk to you about this matter."
Yang Ling lowered her head and made a soft sound of acknowledgment.
Chen Chuan continued, "Do you remember your brother?"
Yang Ling replied softly, "I remember."
Chen Chuan couldn't detect much emotional fluctuation in her voice, which was understandable. According to the news from the Mutual Aid Society, Shen Zheng's younger sister had been missing for five years before she was found. It seemed that she had gotten lost while her family was taking her out to play.
Considering her age when she went missing, she was still very young, so her emotional attachment to Shen Zheng might not be as strong.
Chen Chuan said, "After you've received your punishment, I plan to introduce you to a few people who were close to your brother. Of course, it's up to you, and we can discuss it later. For now, focus on your recovery and remember to practice the breathing technique I taught you."
After saying this, he stood up and left under Yang Ling's gaze. He instructed the medical area manager, "Later, go to my office and bring her two books from the 'Strange Tales' category."
The medical manager quickly responded, "Yes, Manager."
After leaving the medical area, Chen Chuan returned to his office. With the matter here settled, it was necessary to communicate with the members of the Pure School branch.
However, many people were likely paying attention to him at this moment, so it wasn't convenient to leave too far. He said, "Agent An, block all external fields and connect this signal. Ensure there's no eavesdropping throughout."
"Agent An understands. The liaison signal is connected."
The other side quickly connected.
Chang Dong's voice, filled with excitement, burst out, "I saw what happened during the day, Manager Chen. Is this... Have you broken through the limit?"
Regarding Chen Chuan's achievement as a fighter, the person who was most mentally prepared was actually him and Gao Yanjun.
Chen Chuan had previously received the pure substance and limit-breaking medication, indicating that he had reached the threshold. The remaining factor was time; it might take a little longer, or it might happen sooner. Regardless, there would be a result, and it seemed to be a little earlier than expected.
Chen Chuan said, "Yes, I broke through the limit in the fusion land."
"Good, great! That's wonderful!"
Chang Dong couldn't hide his surging emotions for a moment. Every fighter carried significant weight and status, even within the Pure School. However, he quickly calmed himself and maintained a composed tone, saying, "Manager Chen, I'll immediately inform the sect about this news. Is there any problem with that?"
Chen Chuan assured him, "No problem."
Chang Dong quickly informed Gao Yanjun and then turned back to Chen Chuan, saying, "By the way, Manager Chen, it seems that Specialist Mr. Zhao also went to the fusion land this time."
Chen Chuan's thoughts turned to what Yao, the principal, had told him. Zhao Zhenye had injuries, and he likely encountered someone on his way here. Chen Chuan had deduced that Specialist Mr. Zhao was intercepted by Mr. Zhao. However, he wasn't sure about Specialist Mr. Zhao's current situation, but since headquarters had sent him, they must have considered it carefully. Chen Chuan said, "I met Zhao Zhenye in the fusion land this time."
Chang Dong's breath caught for a moment.
Chen Chuan continued, "According to a senior, Zhao Zhenye's strength is extraordinary and might even surpass the sect's previous estimation. I suspect Specialist Mr. Zhao has already encountered him, but the specifics, I think we can only wait for Specialist Mr. Zhao's return to discuss further."
Chang Dong took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Manager Chen, as soon as Specialist Mr. Zhao returns, I'll inform you immediately."
Chen Chuan acknowledged with a sound and added, "Old Chang, I have an idea recently. I want to introduce someone to our Pure School, but if we follow the normal process, there might not be enough time for a thorough examination."
Chang Dong's expression turned serious, knowing that if it were just an ordinary member, Chen Chuan wouldn't have mentioned it. This person was likely being considered for a core member.
Chen Manager, after some thought, asked, "Is there anything special about this person?"
Chen Chuan replied, "I believe he has the potential to become a Fighter."
"Oh?" Chang Dong's eyes lit up, but then furrowed in concern.
"Chen Manager, if we bypass the probationary period, we'll need a guarantor. If this new member causes trouble later on, it'll be a huge responsibility. In the case of Zhao Zhenye, many people were implicated, and even some of the Pure School's rules were changed.
As for Zhao Zhenye's potential, he also had it at the time, and the Pure School valued him for this. But later, he ended up causing great harm and influence to the Pure School.
Chen Chuan said, "I know, I'll consider it carefully."
He had the idea of bringing Xu Chan into the Pure School. This time, in the Fusion Land, whether it was Xu Chan's character or ability, in the eyes of those he had met, Xu Chan was second to none.
This person had the strength, but he didn't want to advance or sign an agreement, so he couldn't obtain the Pure Substance.
But after this change in the Handling Bureau, he couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to. Because in terms of prestige, experience, and strength, there were very few who could compare to him. It was better to recommend him to the Pure School than to wait for him to be forced to sign an agreement with the government.
In the 1619 version, Xu Chan, with his strength, was very likely to become a Fighter once he obtained the Pure Substance.
But these were just his thoughts, and Xu Chan's intentions were currently unknown. So, he decided to find Xu Chan and talk to him again.
After a few more words with Chang Dong, he ended the call.
After sitting for a while, he turned off the Field Screen in his office, picked up the Snow Lady Sword, and walked outside.
He didn't want to waste the evening, but instead, he wanted to quickly absorb more energy. While he could supplement it through self-guidance, it wasn't enough. But if he cut open a path to the opposite Rift like before, it should satisfy his current needs.
Although his own Field was enough to isolate him from the outside, out of caution, he still decided to take the mini flying yacht to the high seas for cultivation.
He walked out of the Handling Bureau, and in the night sky above the square, a gust of wind blew, causing the red scarf around his neck to flutter.
Crimson Whirl had been attached to his body, always flickering, almost like an illusion.
But as he became a Fighter, it became more solid.
Crimson Whirl was relying on his body, but before, his level wasn't enough to support Crimson Whirl, who could only barely maintain her existence. Now, as he entered the Fourth Limit, with unprecedented abundant strength, Crimson Whirl's power fundamentally changed.
And Crimson Whirl didn't need him to provide anything, just the Field and Mental power she constantly emitted was enough to sustain her.
Here, he found his Gader Car, then drove to the port, and an hour later, he took the Airship to the high seas.
He was purely cultivating, but at this moment, he was under scrutiny from all sides. This action, in a situation that had already eased, suddenly became tense again. Because the Linakses Federation's Fighter was currently at sea, and his actions made people wonder if he was looking for him.
On the National Road west of Jinbei Province Capital, a long armored vehicle was heading towards Zhongxincheng.
In the middle and rear of the car, three people sat, and at this moment, the person in the middle spoke, "The Fighter's Constraint was established during the Grand Alliance, and no one can violate it. Strength must be restrained; this is a global consensus. If someone deliberately breaks it, it will provoke many Fighters to follow suit. What do you think, Mr. Long?"
Mr. Long was a man in his forties, and even sitting in the car, he wore sunglasses, maintaining a cold expression. But at this moment, he suddenly burst into laughter, startling the driver, who looked up at the rearview mirror in confusion.
The person in the passenger seat scolded, "Focus on driving! Our conversation has nothing to do with you. Are you so clueless?"
The driver hurriedly agreed and focused on driving.
After Mr. Long's laughter, his tone became cold, "You have a point, but the premise is that no one provokes the Fighter first. If the Fighter is provoked, I don't see any wrong in them retaliating. Unless the Fighter rampantly destroys everything."
"Mr. Long, but we didn't know he was a Fighter beforehand."
Mr. Long laughed again, and because of the demonic laughter, the driver's hand trembled slightly. After the laughter, Mr. Long said coldly, "Have you ever reasoned with people in the past? If so, why would you expect them to reason with you now?"
