Chapter 873: Refining Cultivation and Fusion
Yu and Guo were both pleasantly surprised as Lu Fang became a Third Limit Fighter, not only gaining power but also the eligibility to apply for citizenship in the Central City. They could now own their own legal martial arts halls.
Moreover, with someone like him among them, they could offer assistance to others, greatly increasing the chances of others reaching this level in the future.
Lu Fang was feeling the changes within his body, different from before, when the Domain Token gave him a prompt. He answered the call, and Chen Chuan's voice came through, "Congratulations, Lu Fang."
Lu Fang, slightly excited, said, "Chen Chuan, you're back?"
"I've been back for a day. I didn't want to distract you, so I didn't bother you. Remember the breathing technique I taught you? Go and recuperate for a while."
"Okay, Chen Chuan," Lu Fang paused and said seriously, "Thank you!"
Lu Fang was very grateful to Chen Chuan. If it weren't for the latter's provision of medicine, he wouldn't have made it this far. Chen Chuan had always helped him, and now that he had become a Third Limit Fighter, he could also contribute in some ways.
After the call ended, he saw the two seniors looking at him. Yu asked enviously, "Is that Chen Chuan?"
Lu Fang nodded, "Yes, it's him."
Guo admired and exclaimed, "Chen Chuan is now a martial artist. He's probably the most outstanding person to come out of Yangzhi Martial Arts Academy since its establishment. Even with his current status, he hasn't forgotten to mentor his junior. Chen Chuan truly values friendship and cherishes the past."
Yu nodded in agreement. In fact, Chen Chuan had become the benchmark for Yangzhi Academy. Many former juniors and classmates had contacted him recently, asking him to introduce some students to the Central City. They also mentioned Chen Chuan, perhaps inspired and influenced by him. He guessed that more and more students from Yangzhi would head to the Central City in the future.
Guo patted Lu Fang and said, "Let's go back, Lu Fang. Today, we'll celebrate!"
"Yes!" Yu exclaimed excitedly, "And we should tell the juniors and classmates about this. Let's celebrate together!"
Chen Chuan handed over the field domain screen to Nian Qian and went to his study, contacting Chang Dong. The latter reported on the branch's situation, saying everything was normal during Chen Chuan's absence. He also received a message from headquarters, a telegram of appreciation.
This was a thank-you note from Chang Shuyu in Southern Mountain Province, reporting to headquarters and expressing gratitude for Chen Chuan's assistance.
While the appreciation letter didn't have much use, it would improve Chen Chuan's evaluation within the Pure Sect, increasing his influence. Sometimes, members were more inclined to cooperate and conduct internal transactions with those who had such letters. It would also be easier to ask for help from fellow members.
After listening, Chen Chuan acknowledged and said he needed to concentrate on cultivation for a period, so he bid farewell to Chang Dong and asked Gao Yanjun to come over to help with his ingredients and nutrition.
Before noon, he received the ingredients delivered by the Municipal Parliament. After Gao Yanjun arrived and verified their authenticity, Chen Chuan planned to start his full-scale cultivation.
As the team members gradually returned during these two days, he opened up the field domain resources for them to train. He then entered his personal training room, beginning a cultivation session akin to the old-era closed-door meditation.
From early February to late March, he stayed indoors, devoting himself entirely to cultivation.
His focus was rewarded accordingly. In nearly two months, he mastered two styles of the Great Blue Sky Style and two of the Great Ming Light Style, consolidating the techniques he had learned previously.
Each style of these two sets, when used individually, formed a complete set of offensive and defensive techniques.
Taking the Great Blue Sky Style as an example, each style corresponds to a specific region of altered organisms. When executing the techniques, the cultivator could unleash greater power based on their foundation. Combining it with the Great Ming Light Style would further enhance the synergy between their spirit and flesh.
Once the techniques could be linked together, it meant the cultivator could mobilize altered organisms and spiritual power more efficiently and in greater quantities, naturally increasing their combat power. The more techniques mastered, the more apparent this effect.
Previously, it took him about a month to complete one style, but now, in less than two months, he had achieved these results. This was mainly due to the abundant ingredients, high-energy nutrition, and the effect of the Relic Incense Burner.
Each style's training consumed a large amount of physical energy. If one could continuously replenish it and their body could withstand it, their cultivation progress would naturally improve.
In the end, resources were the key to everything.
In the new era, most martial artists' combat capabilities are supported by a vast logistical supply system.
In the old times, the Conquest Generals also required an entire nation to sustain them. Perhaps only those martial artists who stayed in the Fusion Land for a long time didn't need such support, but they were usually a minority, and in the entire old era, they were the ones most prone to issues.
Chen Chuan took a moment to self-inspect, and after repeated tempering of his spirit and body, both had significantly improved, and even his second self had grown considerably.
His second self had already fought with several martial artists, and after these months, he had reached the third limit, but further advancement seemed somewhat slow. To approach the level of a martial artist like him, it might take some time, but if there were suitable opponents to fight, it could accelerate this process.
By this time, his previous savings were almost exhausted, and what he could use next were only those provided by the Municipal Parliament each month, although the amount was roughly adequate. However, as his strength continued to grow, it couldn't keep up with the enormous consumption from his training.
He pondered for a moment and decided it was time to visit the Fusion Land.
Previously, he had inquired about martial artists going to the Fusion Land, and there were basically two options. One was to join the local garrison or apply to guard the World Ring, providing military support there.
The garrison itself had the responsibility of clearing the surrounding Fusion Land of creatures. If they weren't large or medium-sized creatures, clearing them with guns and explosives was much easier. Simultaneously, the government also had specialized squads to collect and hunt Fusion Land creatures, ensuring fresh ingredients for the martial artists staying there daily.
The treatment at the World Ring was better, but going there required signing a long-term guard agreement, making it difficult to leave easily. Furthermore, they might need to reinforce local areas upon request, like the case of Wan Xuelang.
The other method was for martial artists to venture deep into the Fusion Land to hunt. This wasn't a blind choice but involved prior confirmation and coordination with the garrison and government to obtain information and then designate this area as their hunting ground.
Of course, if there were no competitors and they weren't afraid of hostile forces, they could expand their hunting area.
For example, in Jinbei Province, the Former Imperial Palace's army had collapsed, and the military forces had withdrawn. Yao Zhiyi was in charge of guarding the garrison, and with no one to compete with him, this vast region could theoretically become his hunting ground.
With this, the choice of which method to use was clear.
After his cultivation ended, he submitted an application to the Government Hall and the Fighting Council to go to the Fusion Land. The Government Hall merely processed the paperwork, as it was the most normal thing for martial artists to go to the Fusion Land, and it was the minority who stayed in the Central City for extended periods.
Regarding his duties, several deputy directors could handle them as long as he informed them in advance.
The Fighting Council would generally only confirm his whereabouts, and if it was within the specified reasonable range of action, they wouldn't interfere.
So, within a day, both applications were approved.
At this time, Nian Qian's annual leave was almost over, so he wasn't in a hurry to go to the Fusion Land. Instead, he planned to wait a few days, make some preparations for his departure, and also arrange family matters and handle some Defense Department affairs.
After sending Nian Qian off on a combat airship at the airship docking point and returning to tidy up, he and his aunt, Nian Fuli, and the two little ones bid farewell to Chao Ming. At 4:30 pm the next afternoon, he, his aunt, Nian Fuli, and the two children took the elevator to the underground tunnel located in the basement of the mansion, carrying their luggage.
Here, he found an off-road vehicle and drove through this exclusive passage into the Fusion Land. After over ten minutes, he passed through the tunnel and arrived at this section of the Fusion Land.
At this exit, there was a small fortress and an elite armed force guarding it. Nearby was an airship docking tower, and since they had received prior notice, the airship was already parked there early.
The off-road vehicle parked in the fortress's parking lot, and as he stepped out, a fortress officer immediately shouted, "Salute!" The soldiers from all sides of the fortress raised their hands in salute.
Chen Chuan returned the salute.
At that moment, an officer approached, saluted quickly, and shouted, "Commissioner Chen, the airship is ready according to your requirements and can take off at any time. Do you wish to depart now?"
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Let's go. First, we'll visit the garrison."
Before venturing deep into the Fusion Land, he decided to stop by Principal Yao's place, as he had asked Principal Yao to investigate something previously. Now, he had reportedly found some clues, and if they were accurate, perhaps he could settle this matter during this opportunity.
