Atlas of Heaven and Man

Chen Bitong also looked at Chen Chuan, gazing at the latter's bright eyes, and slowly said, "The simplest way to prove yourself is, first of all, through medicine."

As he spoke, both Chen Bitongs took out a tube of something.

It was a transparent glass tube, and the contents inside looked like scattered, crystalline particles, displaying a cyan-green color. However, with a slight shake, they would float around, very dazzling.

"This is a Slowing Powder. If you participate in the exploration team, everyone will be given this. This medicine can effectively make people lean towards the material plane, but it will affect the spirit.

After taking this medicine, your senses will become dull, and you will be unable to use your own spiritual power for one to three hours. If you take too much, there will be many side effects, such as fatigue, listlessness, and mental weariness.

For normal fighters, it might reduce some combat power, but it won't affect their survival. But for Impression Monsters, this is absolutely unacceptable.

Because they are beings inclined towards the spirit, once they are restricted by this kind of thing, they lose their ability to resist.

They will definitely resist it resolutely."

As he said that, the Chen Bitong who was speaking directly removed the stopper and tilted his head back to pour the tube of powder down, while the newly emerged one paused there, refusing to continue no matter what.

Chen Bitong said, "If you refuse to swallow it, then there is a problem."

As he said this, the other Chen Bitong gave him a cold glance, his eyes becoming extremely icy, but then it quickly disappeared.

"Relying on medicine is just one method. But there is a way to avoid this situation most of the time."

Chen Bitong said to Chen Chuan, "You are currently undergoing spiritual cultivation, so you must remember the simplest way to gather your own beliefs and strengthen your own Mind Jade.

When the Mind Jade is strengthened to a certain extent, unless you yourself are willing, or you yourself give up, you will not be easily infected or assimilated by the Impression Monster.

The pure Mind Jade, that kind of resolute and persistent power, can be felt by people, which is something that even Impression Monsters cannot achieve even if they occupy your consciousness."

Chen Chuan pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Also…"

Chen Bitong solemnly reminded, "After discovering a problem, you must find a way to solve it. More than 70% of those infected by Impression Monsters cannot be saved. Therefore, in this situation, especially in the wild, don't think about how to save them, because you and your teammates cannot afford that risk.

The infected person knows all the information and plans of you and your teammates. Even if the Impression Monster is driven out in time, it is difficult to guarantee that he himself has not undergone psychological changes. If you don't make a decision early, you will only put yourself in danger, Captain Chen, you must firmly remember this point."

Chen Chuan also solemnly replied, "Teacher Chen, I have remembered it."

Chen Bitong nodded. "Now I will let you experience what the difference is between a normal person and someone infected by an Impression Monster. Because it completely inherits the original person's physique and memory, plus the spiritual enhancement, it will naturally exert a stronger power than before."

Chen Chuan noticed something at this moment. He looked to the side and saw Yu Lie walking out, with a hint of arrogance and wildness on his face.

However, judging from this situation, he should be completely Mimicked, because after being beaten up by him, he would definitely not put on that kind of face in front of him again.

Chen Bitong said, "You fought with him just now. Now, the one standing in front of you is Mimicking the state of encountering an Impression Monster invasion. You can try to distinguish the difference between the two."

Chen Chuan raised his eyebrows and walked over.

This Yu Lie seemed to have completely inherited the original owner's temperament and style, and should have no memory of the previous battle. He had no fear of him at all, and rushed up before he even got close.

Chen Chuan's strategy was still the tactic he had used just now, preparing to let the opponent grab him first, and then counterattack. However, he immediately felt that this time was indeed different from just now.

Yu Lie seemed to have noticed something. Although he was good at capturing force, he actively avoided him, choosing to wander outside instead of actively approaching.

This could only change the strategy, and he had to take the initiative to attack. This time, the result was still no suspense, and he was knocked to the ground in less than half a minute.

But to ask what the difference between the two is…

Chen Bitong said from the side, "Have you noticed it?"

Chen Chuan nodded and said with certainty, "My fighting intentions, he can foresee every time."

The Impression Monster, which clings to the spirit, is particularly sensitive to this and can easily capture it. Coupled with the fighter's own experience and qualities, it can judge your next step.

To deal with this type of existence, in addition to your method just now, you must try to strengthen your spiritual cultivation as much as possible. Walking in the Intermingling Ground, without a strong spirit, you can only do some protective work in the rear forever. But if you want to gain strategic initiative, you always have to strike out, not just defend."

Chen Chuan agreed with this statement. Like the fighter's philosophy, defense is to protect yourself while seeking opportunities to counterattack. If you don't counterattack, you can only be beaten and pose no threat to the enemy.

He thought to himself that after going back, his spiritual cultivation still needed to be strengthened.

Seeing that he had already realized something, Chen Bitong didn't go into it further and said, "Continue."

Chen Chuan nodded and followed.

In the following half month, he went to the training class every day and learned something almost every day. Moreover, these things might be used in the next training and could cope with various complex situations.

He knew that this should be a summary of Chen Bitong's more than 20 years of experience, but giving these things to the people below so quickly made him feel that this person seemed a little too eager.

In these days, once the trainees who accepted the training could not keep up with the progress, they would be ruthlessly eliminated.

But it was very rare for someone like Chen Chuan, who had received guidance from the beginning and had been there for nearly half a month, to not be brushed down.

Even the resident staff above noticed his situation and submitted some information reports to the Defense Department.

Councilor Pei also received these reports. He thought for a while, contacted Commissioner Liang with the Realm Token, and said, "Commissioner, it seems that Chen Bitong values Captain Chen very much. This shows that our initial idea was right. I just don't know how the higher-ups will arrange Chen Bitong next."

Commissioner Liang said, "The previous matter has not been clarified yet. The higher-ups mean to let Chen Bitong continue to stay here on vacation, but some people have raised different opinions, believing that he should not stay in the Central City for too long."

Councilor Pei was stunned for a moment, "Is it… because of that matter?"

Commissioner Liang said in a deep voice, "One move affects the whole body. That breach has not been plugged yet, and many things cannot follow the established process. Then we can only advance it."

"Is it a bit hasty?"

"Something leaked over before. If it wasn't too proactive, it might not have been discovered so quickly. Can we be sure that there is only one? That will bring unpredictable changes. If this matter goes smoothly, then everything will be fine. The original plan may not be able to be implemented smoothly."

Councilor Pei thought for a while and said, "Does this matter need to be explained to Captain Chen?"

Commissioner Liang said, "Find a time to mention it to him. At his level, he can know about this matter, and he should know about it. Besides… what will happen at that time is hard to say now."

"I understand."

After Councilor Pei finished the call, his expression became serious. He looked out the window, where airships were parked at the mooring points.

Recently, more and more airships and ships have gathered in the Central City, all in preparation for that matter.

This time, the situation is different, because a breach has been broken, so there is a high possibility of unexpected changes.

However, let the higher-ups consider these things.

He turned around, took out the radio, and began to send a message, sending the recent situation up. After finishing, he sent a message to Chen Chuan through a secret channel, arranging to meet when it was convenient for him.

Chen Chuan had just come out of the training class and returned to the dormitory. After receiving the message, he thought about it. Tomorrow happened to be a rest day, so he set the time for tomorrow.

He looked at the date. It was already mid-March. Originally, Wei Changan and others should have arrived around this time, but he only learned after calling them that some winding-up matters of the entrusted company were complicated to deal with, and some temporary entrustments were added due to personal relationships, so they could not leave for a while.

As for Luo Kaiyuan and Feng Xiaoqi, they felt that since they were a team, they could take care of each other when they came together, so the time to come to the Central City might be postponed to April or May.

He felt that it would be better to be a little later. Recently, his time had been very tight, and it would not be easy to arrange so many people properly.

At this time, he felt that a group of Mind Jade was emitting a radiant light in the spiritual world.

It was obviously much firmer and brighter than last month.

In fact, under normal circumstances, spiritual cultivation progresses relatively slowly at the beginning, but the tempering method he mastered had the cooperation and sparring of Hong Fu every day.

And the High Heaven Jade Core Fragment obtained before could also greatly assist in cultivation, especially in spiritual recovery, which allowed his cultivation speed to be accelerated a lot.

Now, some of the scented medicines given by Teacher Xue had gradually begun to have little effect, which meant that he had adapted to the current cultivation and could enter the next stage.

So he immediately clicked on the Realm Token and tried to contact Teacher Xue.
