Chapter 798: Understanding the Agreement

Chen Chuan picked up the form and scanned through it, noticing that most of the listed items were restrictions and constraints on National Combatants.

The term "National Combatant" was the official designation for fighters.

There were various provisions regarding the use of power and its limitations.

For instance, one clause stated that National Combatants must not use large-scale destructive powers within cities and their surrounding areas without explicit authorization and only in emergency situations. They must not cause harm or pose threats to others.

But what constituted an emergency?

Large-scale riots, rebellions, major accidents, and severe public security issues were typically handled locally. Only when it escalated to matters of national security, war, localized natural disasters, or hostile invasions would it be considered an emergency.

Additionally, when National Combatants were active in central cities like Zhongxincheng, their movements had to be recorded by public security and administrative supervision departments.

At first glance, the restrictions seemed stringent, but Chen Chuan noticed that most of the binding agreements applied to activities within urban areas.

In reality, most fighters operated outside city limits. Even someone like Principal Yao, who worked at the Wu Yi Academy, was stationed in the Fusion Land for most of the year.

Chen Chuan pondered this, realizing that fighters needed access to more energy for their cultivation, which was readily available in the Fusion Land. Combined with the agreement's provisions, it was no wonder that fighters were rarely seen in Jibei Dao Central City and probably other central cities as well.

However, this arrangement wasn't entirely disadvantageous. Fighters possessed immense destructive power, and their families and close associates often resided within these urban areas. While the agreements constrained the fighters, they also protected their loved ones and those close to them.

Overall, the coordination and safety control measures seemed to have more benefits than drawbacks for all parties involved.

Moreover, the agreement wasn't solely about restrictions. Considering the peculiarities and shortcomings of National Combatants, they might encounter special situations. To safeguard their interests, they could make certain demands in advance, which, if necessary, could be incorporated into local laws and agreements. The details of the agreement could also be adjusted accordingly.

After finishing reading, Chen Chuan noticed a clause at the end and asked, "Is this the Fifth Tier?"

Can Miao replied, "Yes, typically, when National Combatants sign the agreement for the first time, they start at the Sixth Tier, which has more stringent restrictions and regulations.

For instance, National Combatants must submit regular reports on their combat cultivation progress for government supervision and record-keeping.

Additionally, they must undergo mental and psychological evaluations periodically to determine if they've been influenced by external forces during their cultivation, if they've developed psychological issues, or if they exhibit symptoms of transgressive cognitive disorders."

"Transgressive cognitive disorders?" Chen Chuan asked.

Can Miao explained, "Usually, after a National Combatant breaks their limits, they may feel like they've transformed into a different being, no longer identifying with their country or species of origin, and develop a sense of disdain and discrimination towards them.

Such individuals can easily empathize with certain beings in the Fusion Land and some entities on the other side. If not intervened in time, they might merge with them, which could pose a significant threat to the world.

In the past century, there have been numerous cases like this, and throughout history, such individuals were commonplace. Therefore, countries around the world are currently paying close attention to this issue and have developed their own solutions."

Chen Chuan nodded slightly, understanding that this situation was highly probable.

Especially for fighters cultivating "Divine Form" and "Unusual Form," as their cultivation deepened, if they couldn't maintain their "True Form," they might no longer consider themselves human, which was still manageable. But if they identified with the entities on the other side, it would undoubtedly lead to severe consequences.

Can Miao said, "For high-level agreements like this, a period of observation is required, which could be a few months or even years, before a reduction in the constraint level is allowed.

However, considering your distinguished service in the government and your restraint in the face of external threats since becoming a National Combatant, we've decided to grant you the Fifth Tier after careful deliberation."

Chen Chuan understood, and this was similar to what Teacher Xue had mentioned. He looked up at Can Miao and asked, "I have a question."

Can Miao politely said, "Please go ahead. We are here to communicate with you, and we will try to negotiate and resolve any requests or suggestions you may have."

Chen Chuan placed the form on the table and said, "Within the framework of this agreement, will my Infinite Defense Certificate still be effective?"

Can Miao smiled and then replied solemnly, "I can assure you that your Infinite Defense Certificate is not subject to the agreement's constraints. You can exercise this right when facing direct threats or infringements."

He paused briefly before adding, "However, National Combatants without the Defense Certificate must adhere to the agreement and cannot take actions beyond its scope."

Chen Chuan's eyes flickered slightly, understanding that this was likely a special consideration from the Great Harmony government for their own.

Due to his status as a graduate of Wu Yi Academy, the government, despite its apparent restrictions, had intentionally left a loophole.

Under the premise of being bound by agreements, fighters possessing defense certificates held a clear advantage in both internal and external conflicts.

Can Miao, seeing that Chen Chuan had no further questions, said, "Mr. Chen, do you have any other questions?"

Chen Chuan replied, "I have no more questions for now."

Can Miao said, "We have detailed contact information on your form. If you encounter any issues in the future, you can reach out to our council, and we'll assist in providing answers or solutions."

"Oh, speaking of the Infinite Defense Certificate, we'd like to inform you in advance that, considering your outstanding contributions to the nation during the Jinbei Province Fusion Zone war, the state will likely bestow upon you the Infinite Defense Certificate, Grade A, for life."

Upon hearing this news, Chen Chuan's expression shifted slightly, and he nodded, saying, "Thank you for the information." This was indeed good news; Grade B certificates were only valid for ten years, while Grade A was for life, so there was no need to take another exam.

Can Miao said, "You're welcome. Well, Mr. Chen, since you have no further questions, we can proceed to sign the agreement. But before that, we have one more question: Do you need to include any special circumstances in the terms?"

Chen Chuan understood what he meant by special circumstances—whether the things he abandoned or embraced during his Limit Break would cause external interference. He replied, "I don't need that."

Can Miao nodded. It seemed that the things this Mr. Chen abandoned or embraced only affected himself and had no impact on those around him, so he didn't say more. He took a scroll from his assistant and placed it on the table, slowly unfurling it before Chen Chuan.

The scroll had a unique 16-9-1-8-0 version!

As it opened, one could see intricate and beautiful ritual enigma patterns faintly emerging on the scroll's surface, accompanied by a faint fragrance. The specific binding agreements Chen Chuan had previously read were transcribed onto it without a single error in the meticulous brushstrokes.

At this moment, the assistant handed Chen Chuan a brush dipped in ink, and Can Miao gestured to a specific spot, saying, "Mr. Chen, just sign your name here."

Chen Chuan took the brush. Although he wasn't used to writing with a brush, as a fighter, his control over every muscle was precise. He adapted quickly and wrote his name in the designated spot.

In that instant, he suddenly felt as if something was seeping into his spirit, and he noticed a barely perceptible dot-like pattern forming on the tiger's mouth area of his palms.

This was a kind of spiritual imprint, invisible under normal circumstances but easily detectable with spiritual power.

Can Miao, seeing that Chen Chuan had signed the agreement, relaxed his expression and smiled, saying, "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Chen."

But there's something I should clarify. The bio field domain of every fighter will reject and dissolve the ritual each time, causing its effects to diminish. To prevent invalidation, this agreement must be renewed annually.

If, during this period, you violate or engage in transgressions, your restraint level will be adjusted based on the specific situation. However, if you fully comply or make outstanding contributions and impressive performances, the constraints on you will be reduced accordingly. The National High Security Advisory Council will provide specific explanations."

After saying this, he added, "There's also an explanation about the ritual." He gestured to several masked individuals in the corner, "They will explain it to you."

One of the masked individuals stepped forward and said, "Let me clarify the situation to Mr. Chen. These terms cannot be violated. Once the terms are set, they become genuine constraints. If violated, they will immediately cause damage to your body and spirit.

At that time, your life energy will spontaneously contribute to the ritual enigma, turning it into a force that binds you. The more violations, the greater the intensity, and the greater the ritual's binding power, the deeper the harm to you. So, please try not to violate them."

Chen Chuan understood. Undoubtedly, the most crucial aspect for a fighter was their life energy. Under such agreements, as they relied on their own power, the more they struggled, the greater the depletion.

The masked individual continued, "However, in the face of urgent dangers, there's no need to worry. The ritual enigma responds to your psychological cognition. When you genuinely encounter a situation or others exploit the constraints to target you, the agreement won't limit your power."

Upon hearing this explanation, Chen Chuan pondered for a moment and said to the person, "If that's the case, I have a question. I know there are methods to deceive one's cognitive awareness. What if I encounter such a situation? Will the agreement still function normally?"
