Chapter 797: Overflowing Power and Restraint
After walking down a long corridor, Chen Chuan arrived at an inner area accessible only to a select few, including Principal Wu Yi.
The spacious area offered a wide view, and the Mystic Palace Tower was one of the tallest buildings in the entire Wuding District. Standing here and looking out, one could indeed feel like they were overlooking a vast landscape.
At this moment, Hongfu's voice echoed again, "Teacher Chen, ahead is the Academy's independent inner area. Please speak the password to proceed."
Chen Chuan immediately recited the password Principal Yao had given him, and the domain isolation light in the front area disappeared, revealing an even larger space.
Upon reaching this place, Hongfu's voice disappeared.
After a glance, he stepped to the left and walked about ten meters to 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, immediately stepped out from behind the desk, and warmly said, "Are you Teacher Chen? I'm the telegraph operator in charge of communications with the main campus. Principal Yao asked me to wait for you here."
He turned, picked up 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, Teacher Chen. Once you're done, I'll send the telegraph to headquarters."
Chen Chuan took the paper, glanced at it, and filled out the application as instructed. Regarding the choice of cultivation path, he directly wrote 'Human Form'. After completing the form, he handed it to the telegraph operator, who glanced at it and said, "Teacher Chen, please wait a moment."
The operator took the document and entered the telegraph room. After a while, the sound of the telegraph machine could be heard from inside.
Chen Chuan walked to the side and looked at some photos hanging on the wall. These were photos of the telegraph operator and Principal Yao together, and they bore a slight resemblance, suggesting a possible blood relation.
In the photos, Principal Yao was dressed casually, and in one photo, a child was riding on his neck, grabbing his hair and laughing happily. Principal Yao was making funny faces, a stark contrast to his usual stern demeanor with the heavy-backed broadsword.
At this moment, Chen Chuan thought that both Principal Yao and Wan Xuezhang had likely chosen the Human Form path, and according to Teacher Xue's words, this path was extremely challenging, likely difficult to master.
The telegraph operator emerged from the room and said, "Teacher Chen, the telegraph has been sent to headquarters. It may take some time for a response."
Chen Chuan asked, "How long does it usually take?"
The telegraph operator replied, "For regular communications, it's just a matter of minutes, at most a few hours. I've never handled an application like yours before, so it's hard to say. Why don't you wait at the school, and I'll notify you as soon as I receive a response."
Chen Chuan checked the time; it was not yet two o'clock. He hadn't been here for nearly a month, so he decided to visit the three students first. He said, "Then I'll trouble you."
The telegraph operator quickly replied, "No trouble at all."
After leaving the office, Chen Chuan took the elevator to his teacher's apartment in the building. He then contacted Jiang Xin, Kong Yao, and Fan Cheng, the three students, through the domain interface.
Upon learning that Chen Chuan might have become a fighter, Jiang Xin, who was a thoughtful person, concealed his excitement. Fan Cheng and Kong Yao, on the other hand, felt like they were dreaming.
Initially, they had purchased Chen Chuan's course because they couldn't find anyone to solve their personal issues, but they had gained a lot from it. After this period, their problems had significantly improved, and they were deeply grateful to Chen Chuan.
They never expected that Chen Chuan's status would suddenly change, and along with it, the entire academy's perception of them. This was something they had never anticipated, and some teachers and students' enthusiasm even made them feel scared. As a result, they had been hiding in their dorms for the past few days, afraid to go out.
Just then, the two of them suddenly received a call from Chen Chuan via the domain interface. They were startled and couldn't help but feel nervous and excited. They immediately connected to the teaching platform and, with trembling voices, greeted him, "Hello, Teacher Chen."
Chen Chuan acknowledged them with a sound and said, "You're doing well too. I'm at the academy today, and it's been nearly a month since I last checked on your progress. How's your cultivation going recently?"
"It's going well, very well," Fan Cheng and Kong Yao nodded repeatedly. Jiang Xin also chimed in, "I haven't encountered any problems here either, Teacher Chen."
Through the domain interface, Chen Chuan took a look at the three students. Even though they weren't face-to-face, his keen observation skills allowed him to clearly see their current states, confirming that they had been maintaining a certain level of intensity and effectiveness in their cultivation.
This meant he didn't need to provide much correction. He asked the three to demonstrate their techniques once more and made minor adjustments to their breathing in certain areas. After they mastered these adjustments, he told them they could contact him via the domain interface if they had any questions. With that, he ended the call.
He contemplated for a moment, considering 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 he believed in seeing things through to the end. He would do his best to teach these three students who attended his classes.
After waiting in the school for an afternoon, a message arrived from the World Gateway: "Teacher Chen, headquarters has responded. Your application has been approved, and someone will deliver it to Jiabei Dao later."
Upon receiving the message, Chen Chuan replied with a thank you. He sat down, drank a hot beverage, and then left the Wu Yi Academy.
Driving back to his residence in Wuding District, he used the Snow Queen Saber to open a rift and began his cultivation, which he had not yet started for the day.
Time flew by, and on the twenty-eighth of that month, a blimp arrived from the northwest and hovered over the anchorage point in the Radiant Glory District. On the side of the blimp, there was a logo—a sphere embedded within infinite coordinates, symbolizing the concept of a round heaven and square earth.
A group of people disembarked from the blimp, all of them wearing serious expressions. Several at the front wore identical uniforms, while four at the back wore black robes and hoods that concealed their bodies and faces. At a glance, it was difficult to discern their specific genders or ages; only the white masks beneath the hoods were visible.
After being escorted to their designated resting area by personnel from the Municipal Parliament, the leader of this group signaled to a teammate, who then contacted the World Gateway. "Mr. Chen, we are from the Great Prosperity National Martial Artist Council. I believe you have received notification from the Municipal Parliament. Well, we are here under orders to discuss some confidential matters with you. Do you have time? Okay, we will await your arrival at the Sawtooth Tower in the Radiant Glory District, on the 50th floor of Block 3."
Less than an hour later, an extended armored vehicle stopped in front of the tower. A chauffeur opened the door, and Chen Chuan stepped out. He looked up at the tower and entered, heading straight to the 50th floor, where someone was already waiting to escort him into the main hall.
Inside the hall was a long metal table with only a tabletop. A middle-aged man with a full head of white hair stood in front, accompanied by several assistants. In the corner of the hall sat four people wearing white masks and black robes.
These four individuals gave Chen Chuan a sense of familiarity. Was this the Secret Sect Review Bureau?
"Hello, Mr. Chen," the middle-aged man greeted him with a handshake. "My name is Can Miao, and I'm the team leader in charge of coordinating with you on behalf of the Martial Artist Council. Have you heard of us before?"
Chen Chuan shook his hand, "A teacher mentioned you once."
Can Miao smiled, "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. We have a lot to clarify with you today."
Chen Chuan sat down at the long table, and Can Miao took the seat opposite him. "Mr. Chen, first, I must clarify that all our actions are legal and supervised by the 'National Highest Security Advisory Council.'
Everything we discuss here and every action you take will be clearly recorded and filed. During our conversation, there may be some offensive parts, so please understand. If you have any thoughts or objections, you can file a complaint with the Highest Security Advisory Council afterward."
Chen Chuan nodded slightly.
At that moment, Can Miao took a form from his assistant and handed it to Chen Chuan. "Mr. Chen, we need you to fill out this form first."
Chen Chuan took the form and scanned it. It contained numerous questions and options, at least a hundred. He quickly flipped through it, feeling that it was similar to what Teacher Xue had told him—mainly to determine his stance towards the nation and the company, as well as his own position.
However, as the current Investigative Director of the Handling Bureau, he would approach these issues from that perspective.
He took out a prepared pen from his pocket and began checking the options. It took him about ten minutes to complete the form, which he then returned to Can Miao.
Can Miao reviewed the form, ensuring nothing was missed, and then handed it to an assistant for safekeeping. His expression turned serious as he said, "Mr. Chen, you should know that the destructive power of martial artists is immense. The world is currently in a very dangerous situation. To maintain stability in the central cities, convergence zones, and the World Ring, we must impose reasonable and effective restrictions on every martial artist in the country."
He took another form and slowly slid it towards Chen Chuan. "Please review this agreement. If you have any questions or objections, feel free to raise them now, and we will try to address them."
