Several minutes later, Chen Chuan opened his eyes. His Spirit detached from the relics. A light flashed in his eyes for a moment before gradually fading.
After merging with his Second Self , the Strength he displayed had not quite doubled, but the increase in Speed and Strength brought the most direct changes. This time, he easily killed the opponent he had originally considered an Anomaly and dangerous.
He raised the Snow Emperor Blade and could feel a slight vibration on the blade. This clearly indicated that he had gained a lot of benefits, proving that this path was correct, but it was also a very dangerous path. Because each time, he would have to face increasingly powerful beings, and even a single failure could result in his decline and death.
Merging with his Second Self did increase his own Strength, but this had a limit. The opponent's improvement, on the other hand, currently had no visible limit. He had to estimate and grasp the scale well. He estimated that, without any change in his current Strength, he would have about three or four more chances.
However, with Cultivation, his Spiritual Power could continue to be strengthened, so it wasn't impossible to seek new breakthroughs.
At this moment, he took a few steps back, slightly raised the blade, and then slashed downwards. Instantly, a Fissure shimmering with light appeared there.
Compared to before, he was now adept at opening Fissures, and the Fissure that existed there appeared very stable. Now he had also summarized some experience: the Fissure didn't need to be too long, a little wider was better, as this was more convenient for Cultivation. The current range was just right for him to sit down.
However, this might also allow more things from the other side to seep in. But perhaps because the Fissure was ultimately small and not permanent, most of the time it was the bugs he had encountered before, and a few unrecognizable things. So far, he had not seen anything too threatening to him.
He placed the Snow Emperor Blade on the ground, sat down properly in front of the Fissure, adjusted his breathing, and facing the rushing airflow and light from the Fissure, began to use the Bright Reflection Method to guide essence and cultivate Spirit.
At first, this Fissure could only exist for about an hour, but after his efforts during this period, it had extended to nearly two hours.Soon two hours passed, and the Fissure still stubbornly existed. This time, the Snow Emperor Blade obviously gained a lot of assistance, increasing the time by more than twenty minutes on the original basis.
However, he was well aware that it would become more difficult as he went on. In the most ideal situation, it probably wouldn't exceed four hours.
But this was actually enough. In fact, if the time was longer, the things coming from the other side might be more troublesome and harder to deal with. This wasn't like a single-school Fissure with predecessors protecting him; he had to solve everything himself, which would waste more time instead.
At this moment, the Fissure slowly disappeared before his eyes. He stood up from the ground, feeling his Spirit unusually sharp for a moment, and certain strange sounds and phenomena floated around again, but he suppressed them in the blink of an eye.
This was the Influence brought by the progress of his Spirit, unavoidable.
Spirit is carried by the body. The growth of Spiritual Power is inseparable from the growth of the brain's Mutated Tissue, and the growth of Mutated Tissue comes from his own body as a whole.
He had laid a solid and stable foundation, so he could have continuous progress. Otherwise, even with sufficient resources, he would not be able to continue. And a foundation far exceeding ordinary people made the upper limit of his Spiritual Power also very high. Some problems that predecessors couldn't touch might be encountered by him here.
He paid close attention to this aspect, and he also had his Second Self to bear some things that he hadn't seen in the records.
Just as the Fissure in front of him was dissipating to only a little bit remaining, there was a gentle knock on the door. He looked over and saw a paper Telegram translation slipped in from the door seam.
He walked over, picked up the Telegram, and looked through it. The message told him that Huang Weiyi was looking for him. It didn't say specifically why, but he knew that it must be that United Power Heavy Industries had found clues in their investigation.
He immediately put away the telegram and tidied up the surroundings. Fortunately, this time no strange bugs appeared, so he didn't need to clean up much.
Ten minutes later, the airship turned and headed back to Central City. When passing Port, he looked down and saw the warships from the Linax Federation moored there after the sea fog had cleared. There were two Yuanshan-class battleships and one Xueyuan-class main battleship.
There might be some Martial Artists with great Strength staying on the ship. When he looked over, he also felt several gazes looking up at the same time.
He glanced outside. Besides his airship, there were several other airships traveling between White Bird District and Central City, but he didn't see the airship that Linax Federation Martial Artist was on. This person should be staying on a nearby outer island.
At this time, he had already entered the energy field. He put on the Boundary Token again and contacted Huang Weiyi . The other side responded almost immediately: "Supervisor Chen, Huang greets you."
Chen Chuan asked, "Mr. Huang, do you have news on your end?"
"Yes, Supervisor Chen, Huang wouldn't dare to disturb you if he didn't have news," Huang Weiyi , having realized that Chen Chuan wasn't someone who liked idle talk after the last phone call, directly stated the situation.
"It's like this, according to Supervisor Chen's instructions, we found three suspicious people at the junction of Hongsheng and Shenwei districts, very similar to what Supervisor Chen described. The location is here..."
As he spoke, he sent the location information over. Chen Chuan looked at it. This place was actually not too far from Lu Fang's Martial Combat gym, only about five or six kilometers to the northwest.
This location was also in an area where many people without citizen status gathered. Position-wise, it was right in the center of many gathering areas. According to his memory, there should be an entrance to the Lower City District within a few hundred meters of this place, making it quite convenient for both going out and retreating.
After looking at it, he asked, "Is this the only place you've found?"
Huang Weiyi quickly said, "Currently, we've only found suspicious individuals that Supervisor Chen mentioned in this location. We are still investigating other places, but we didn't dare delay Supervisor Chen's business, so we rushed to inform you as soon as we had a lead."
Chen Chuan thought that United Power Heavy Industries probably wouldn't gather all the personnel they sent in one place. However, Huang Weiyi was indeed very capable to find these people in such a short time.
He said, "Anything else?"
Huang Weiyi said, "Yes, we have a few pictures here. Please take a look, Supervisor Chen." As he spoke, he sent over a dozen more pictures.
Chen Chuan looked at them. The first picture was of a man with gloomy eyes, glancing out from behind a window. Most of his face was obscured by the curtain, but you could still make out his thin face, the faint outline of a strong body, and the unique aura of a Martial Artist.
The second picture was of a different person. This person was more stout, with thick limbs, wearing a specially made protective thick vest. Some of the metal buckles had a matte finish. This alone proved that these people were not from the Lower City District, but were from a significant background.
The third picture was of another person, a woman. She was very strong, even more burly than the previous two, and at least a head taller. This woman had short, stubbly hair, and her gender could only be distinguished from the contours of her bones.
There were more than a dozen pictures after that, all of them showing these people's movements. Just from these, he could roughly see the movement rhythms and the martial combat specialties of each person.
He asked, "How did you get these pictures?"
He could tell that the poses depicted in the pictures were from different time periods. Ordinary people couldn't monitor these people. Even a few extra glances would trigger their vigilance, let alone long-term monitoring.
Huang Weiyi quickly said, "One of my brothers has the ability to instantly imprint everything within a three-kilometer radius into his mind.
And he can remember every detail of what he sees. He is good at drawing and can draw these things he remembers in a way that is almost photographic, and without any errors.
Not only that, but he can also construct a sequence of actions a few seconds before and after, and for a short time, in his mind and draw it on paper."
Chen Chuan was a little surprised. This was clearly an extremely special spiritual talent. He looked at the pictures again. Some of them should be self-constructed.
You can't fool people with this kind of thing, especially in the details. The unique action rhythm of a Martial Artist cannot be imitated casually.
This ability is very useful for reconnaissance.
He said, "Are you still watching?"
"Yes, we're still watching."
Chen Chuan said calmly, "Then keep watching. They should have already discovered you. If you suddenly stop watching, they might think you're preparing to do something."
"Discovered us?"
Huang Weiyi couldn't help but be startled.
Chen Chuan said, "They are not ordinary people."
If these people also possessed Spiritual Power, then even from a distance, they might have some kind of feeling about people who repeatedly observe them.
"This..."
Huang Weiyi felt a burst of horror in his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He simply hadn't considered the possibility of being exposed, but Chen Chuan shouldn't be deliberately deceiving him about this.
He knew that the people the Processing Bureau wanted to deal with were definitely not ordinary people, which could also be seen from the pictures, but he himself had been near them. If these people had suddenly attacked at that time...
Chen Chuan said in a flat voice, "Don't panic. Just keep everything as usual. They haven't taken action yet, most likely to confirm where the people monitoring them are from, or they simply don't take you seriously. Whichever it is, you just need to maintain the current state. I'll be over soon."
