Chapter 797: Overflowing Power Requires Restraint
Chapter 797: Overflowing Power Requires Restraint
Chen Chuan walked down the long corridor and arrived at an inner area accessible only to a select few, including Principal Wu Yi.
The space here was more expansive, and the view was open and vast. The Mystic Palace Tower was one of the tallest buildings in the entire Wuding District, and standing here, looking out, one could indeed feel a sense of being above it all.
At this moment, Crimson Whirl's voice sounded again, "Mr. Chen, ahead is the Academy's independent inner area. Please state the password for entry."
Chen Chuan immediately recited the password Principal Yao had given him, and the field domain isolation light in front disappeared, revealing a larger space.
Upon reaching this place, Crimson Whirl's voice disappeared.
After taking a glance around, Chen Chuan walked to the left and took about ten steps to enter an office with its door wide open. Inside, a man in his thirties, exuding an air of scholarly refinement, was flipping through some documents.
Hearing someone's approach, he looked up, then promptly came out from behind the desk and greeted warmly, "Mr. Chen? I'm in charge of communications with the main campus. Principal Yao asked me to wait for you here."
He turned around, took a piece of paper from the desk, and handed it over with both hands, saying, "This is the application form. Just fill it out according to the instructions, Mr. Chen. Once you're done, I'll send it to headquarters."
Chen Chuan took the paper, glanced at it, and then filled out the application as instructed. When it came to choosing a cultivation path, he directly wrote 'Human Form'. After completing the form, he handed it back to the communicator. The latter took a few glances at it and said, "Mr. Chen, please wait a moment."
Holding the document, he entered the adjacent communication room. After a while, the sound of communication could be heard from within.
Chen Chuan stepped aside and looked at the photos on the wall. These were photos of the communicator and Principal Yao together, and they bore a slight resemblance to each other, suggesting a possible blood relation.
In the photos, Principal Yao was dressed casually. In one photo, a child was riding on his neck, grabbing his hair and laughing happily towards the front, while Principal Yao made funny faces, a stark contrast to his usual dignified demeanor with a broad-backed saber.
At this moment, Chen Chuan thought that both Principal Yao and Senior Student Wan had likely chosen the Human Form path, and according to Teacher Xue's words, this path was extremely challenging, possibly easy to enter but difficult to master.
The communicator emerged from the room at this point and said, "Mr. Chen, the telegram has been sent to headquarters. We may need to wait for a response."
Chen Chuan asked, "How long does it usually take?"
The communicator replied, "For regular communication, it might take a few minutes, at most a few hours. I've never handled an application like yours before, so I can't say for sure. Why don't you wait at the school, and I'll notify you as soon as I receive a reply."
Chen Chuan checked the time; it was not yet two o'clock. He hadn't been here for almost a month, so he decided to visit the three students first. He said, "Then I'll trouble you."
The communicator quickly responded, "No trouble at all, Mr. Chen."
From there, Chen Chuan took the elevator back to his teacher's apartment in the building. He then activated the field domain screen and contacted Jiang Xin, Kong Yao, and Fan Cheng, the three students.
Upon learning that Chen Chuan might have become a fighter, Jiang Xin, who was a thoughtful person, managed to hide his excitement. In contrast, Fan Cheng and Kong Yao felt like they were in a dream.
Initially, they had purchased Chen Chuan's course because they couldn't find anyone else to solve their problems, but the results were remarkable. After some time, their issues had significantly improved, and they were deeply grateful to Chen Chuan.
They never expected Chen Chuan's status to change so suddenly, and along with it, the entire Academy's students and teachers now viewed them with newfound respect. Some teachers and students were so enthusiastic that it made them feel afraid, so they had been hiding in their dorms for the past few days, reluctant to go out.
At this moment, the two of them suddenly received a message on their Border Token, and upon seeing it was from Chen Chuan, they were startled and couldn't help but feel nervous and excited. They immediately connected and logged into the teaching platform, and with trembling voices, they greeted, "Mr. Chen."
Chen Chuan acknowledged with a sound and said, "You're doing well too. I'm at the Academy today, and it's been almost a month since I last checked on your progress. I wanted to see how your cultivation is going lately."
"It's going well, very well," Fan Cheng and Kong Yao nodded repeatedly. Jiang Xin also chimed in, "Mr. Chen, I haven't encountered any problems here either."
Chen Chuan looked at the three students through the field domain screen. Even though they weren't face-to-face, with his current observational skills, he could clearly see their current state and confirm that they had been consistently practicing with a certain level of intensity and effectiveness over the past period.
This meant he didn't need to provide too much correction. He asked the three to perform their techniques once more and then made slight adjustments to their breathing rhythms in certain places. After they mastered these adjustments, he told them they could contact him via the Border Token if they had any questions. With that, he ended the call.
(End of Chapter 797)
He pondered for a moment, realizing that there were still two months until the end of the year, and these three students still had room for improvement.
The school's rules no longer bound him, but all things have a beginning and an end. He would do his best to teach these three students.
After waiting in the school for an afternoon, a message arrived via the Border Token: "Teacher Chen, the headquarters has responded, your application has been approved, and someone will deliver it to Jingbei Dao after the holidays."
Upon receiving this news, Chen Chuan replied with a thank you and, after drinking a cup of hot beverage, he left the Wu Yi Academy.
He drove back to his residence in Wuding District, took out the Snow Lady Sword, and split open a rift, beginning the cultivation he had yet to perform that day.
Time flew, and on October 20th, an airship arrived from the northwest and landed at the mooring point in Weiguang District. On the side of the airship, there was an emblem, a sphere embedded within infinite coordinates, resembling the concept of a round heaven and square earth.
A group of people disembarked from the airship, all with solemn expressions. Several individuals at the front wore uniformed attire, while four people at the back wore black robes and hoods that concealed their bodies and faces, making it difficult to discern their specific gender and age. Only the white masks beneath the hoods were visible.
After being received by the personnel dispatched by the Government Affairs Office, the leader of this group signaled to his team members, and one of them immediately presented a Border Token. He then spoke into it:
"Mr. Chen, we are from the Great Harmony National Combatant Council. I believe you have already received the notification from the Government Affairs Office? Good. This time, we are here under the orders of the National High Security Advisory Council. There are some confidential matters that we need to discuss with Mr. Chen in person. I wonder if you have the time? Yes, good. We will be waiting for you at the Saw Horn Tower in Weiguang District, on the 50th floor."
In less than an hour, a stretched armored vehicle stopped in front of the tower. The attendant opened the car door, and Chen Chuan stepped out. He looked up at the tower, entered, and proceeded directly to the 50th floor, where someone was already waiting for him and escorted him into the hall.
In the hall, there was a long metal table with only a tabletop, and a middle-aged man with a full head of white hair, stood in front of it. Behind him stood several people who resembled assistants, while in the corner of the hall, four people wearing white masks and black robes sat separately.
These four individuals gave Chen Chuan a somewhat familiar feeling. Was this the Secret Sect Review Bureau?
"Hello, Mr. Chen," the middle-aged man approached and shook his hand. "My name is Can Miao, and I'm the leader of the Combatant Council team assigned to meet with you. I wonder if you've heard of us before?"
A 1619 book, a bar, and a look at the error-free version!
Chen Chuan shook his hand and said, "I heard about you from a teacher."
Can Miao smiled and said, "Then we must thank your teacher for making our work much easier." He gestured for Chen Chuan to take a seat. "Mr. Chen, please sit down. We have quite a few matters to discuss with you today."
Chen Chuan sat down at the long table, and Can Miao sat across from him. Can Miao began: "Mr. Chen, first of all, I need to clarify that the legality of all our actions comes from the 'National High Security Advisory Council.'
Everything we discuss here today, every action you take right now, will be clearly recorded and archived. There may be some offensive aspects in our conversation, so please understand and forgive us if there's anything you find disagreeable or unsatisfactory. You can file a complaint with the High Security Advisory Council after the fact if you have any thoughts or dissatisfaction."
Chen Chuan nodded slightly.
Can Miao took a form from his assistant and pushed it towards Chen Chuan. "We need to trouble Mr. Chen to fill out this form."
Chen Chuan took the form, glanced at it, and saw numerous questions and options. He skimmed through it, and there were at least hundreds of items, roughly categorized. At first glance, it seemed primarily aimed at assessing his inclinations towards the nation and the company, as well as his personal stance.
However, as an Investigation Supervisor at the Handling Bureau, Chen Chuan approached the form from this angle.
He took out a prepared pen and started checking the options one by one. After finishing, he handed the form back to Can Miao, who took it, flipped through it, and seeing no omissions, passed it to his assistant for storage. Then, Can Miao's expression turned more serious as he said:
"Mr. Chen, you should know that the destructive power of combatants is immense, and the world is currently in a very dangerous situation. To maintain stability in the central cities, fusion zones, and the World Ring, we must impose reasonable and effective restrictions on every combatant in the country."
He slowly pushed another form towards Chen Chuan, "Please take a look at this agreement. If you have any questions or objections, you can raise them now, and we will try to communicate and resolve them with you."
