Chen Bitong looked at Chen Chuan as well, gazing at the latter's bright eyes, he slowly said, "The simplest way to prove yourself can start with Drugs."
As he spoke, both Chen Bitongs took out a tube-like object.
It was a transparent glass tube, the contents of which looked like scattered, crystalline particles, displaying a cyan-green hue, but with a slight shake, they would flutter, appearing extremely dazzling.
"This is slow-down medicine powder. If you participate in the Exploration Team, everyone will be issued this kind of thing. This Drug can effectively bias people towards the material plane, but it will have an Influence on the Spirit.
After taking this medicine, your Senses will become dull, and you will be unable to use your Spiritual Power for one to three hours. If you take too much, there will be many side effects, such as fatigue and sluggishness, and a lack of Spirit.
For a normal Martial Artist, it might reduce some combat power, but it doesn't Influence their survival, but for an Imprint Monster, this is absolutely unacceptable.
Because they are beings that are biased towards Spirit, once they are restricted by this kind of thing, they lose their ability to resist.
They will definitely resist resolutely."
As he said this, the Chen Bitong speaking directly removed the stopper and poured the tube of medicinal powder down his throat, while the newly emerged one stopped 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 look, his gaze becoming extremely icy, but it disappeared immediately.
"Relying on Drugs 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 engaged in Spirit Cultivation, so you must remember the simplest way to condense your own beliefs and strengthen your Heart Jade.
When the Heart 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 an Imprint Monster.
A pure Heart Jade, that resolute and persistent Strength, can be felt by others, something an Imprint Monster cannot achieve even if it occupies 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, and more than seventy percent of those infected by an Imprint Being cannot be saved, so 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, and even if the Imprint Monster is removed in time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no psychological changes in the person. If you don't make a decision early, you will only put yourself in danger, Captain Chen, you must remember this."
Chen Chuan also responded solemnly, "Master Chen, I have remembered."
Chen Bitong nodded, "Now I will let you experience the difference between a normal person and someone who has been infected by an Imprint Monster. Because it completely inherits the original person's physique and memory, plus the strengthening of the Spirit, it will naturally exert greater Strength than before."
Chen Chuan then noticed something. He looked to the side and saw Yu Lie walking out from within, a touch of arrogant smile on his face.
However, judging from the situation, it should be a complete Simulation because after being beaten 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 a Simulation of the state of being invaded by an Imprint Being. You can try to distinguish the difference between the two."
Chen Chuan raised an eyebrow and walked up.
This Yu Lie seemed to have completely inherited the original owner's temperament and style and should have no memory of the fight just now, showing no fear of him at all. Before he could even get close, he rushed up proactively.
The strategy Chen Chuan adopted was still the tactics he had used before, preparing to let the other party grab him first, and then counterattack. However, he immediately felt that this time was indeed different from before.
Yu Lie seemed to have noticed something. He was obviously skilled in Seizing Technique, but he actively avoided him, choosing to roam around instead of actively approaching.
This meant he had to change his strategy and 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.
However, if you ask about the difference between the two...
Chen Bitong said from the side, "Did you notice it?"
Chen Chuan nodded and said definitively, "He could anticipate my combat intentions every time."
Every time he attacked, the other party seemed to be able to predict his movements in advance. After several attempts, he gave up trying to win with tactical strategies and instead directly relied on his superior Strength and Speed to knock him down.
Chen Bitong said, "Even if a Martial Artist embarks on the path of SpiritCultivation and condenses their own Thought, they will still inadvertently reveal some information.
And Imprint Beings, which are beings that cling to Spirit, are extremely sensitive to this and can easily capture it. Coupled with the Martial Artist's own experience and qualities, they can judge your next move.
If you want to deal with such beings, in addition to the method you used just now, you must also try to strengthen your SpiritCultivation. Walking in the Convergence Zone, without a strong Spirit, you can only do some protective work in the rear, but if you want to gain strategic initiative, you must always attack, not just defend."
Chen Chuan agreed with this statement. Like the Martial Artist's philosophy, defense is to protect yourself while looking for opportunities to Counterattack. Without Counterattack, you can only be beaten and pose no threat to the enemy.
He thought to himself that after returning, he would need to strengthen his Spirit Cultivation.
Seeing that he had already understood, Chen Bitong stopped going into detail and said, "Let's 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 session, allowing him to cope with various complex situations.
He knew that this should be a summary of Chen Bitong's twenty years of experience, but giving these things to the people below so quickly made him feel that he seemed a bit too hasty.
In recent days, anyone who couldn't keep up with the progress of the training was ruthlessly eliminated.
However, it was very rare for someone like Chen Chuan, who had been receiving guidance from the beginning and had been there for nearly half a month, to not be eliminated.
Even the resident personnel above noticed his situation and sent some information reports to the Ministry of Defense.
Councilor Pei also received these reports. After thinking about it, he contacted Commissioner Liang using his Boundary Token and said, "Commissioner, it seems that Chen Bitong values Captain Chen very much. This shows that our initial idea was correct. I just don't know how the higher-ups will arrange Chen Bitong next."
Commissioner Liang said, "The previous matter has not been investigated clearly. The higher-ups' intention is to let Chen Bitong continue to stay here on vacation, but some people have raised different opinions, believing that he should not stay in Central City for too long."
Councilor Pei was stunned for a moment, "Is it... because of that incident?"
Commissioner Liang said in a deep voice, "One move affects the whole body. That gap has not been closed yet, and many things cannot proceed according to the established process, so we can only advance them."
"Isn't it a bit rushed?"
"Something leaked over before. If it hadn't been so proactive, we might not have discovered it 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, and the original plan may not be able to be executed smoothly."
Councilor Pei thought for a while and said, "Then should we explain this matter to Captain Chen?"
Commissioner Liang said, "Find a time to mention it to him. At his level, he can know about this matter and should know about it. Moreover... it's hard to say what will happen then."
"I understand."
After ending the call, Councilor Pei's expression became serious. He looked at the outside of the window, where airships were parked at the anchorage points.
Recently, more and more airships and ships have gathered in Central City, all preparing for that event.
The situation this time is different because a gap has been broken, so unexpected changes are very likely to occur.
However, let the higher-ups consider these things.
He turned around, took out his Radio, and began to send a message, sending the latest situation up. After finishing, he sent a secret message to Chen Chuan, asking to meet him when it was convenient for him.
Chen Chuan had just come out of the training class and returned to his dormitory. After receiving the message, he thought about it and decided to set the time for tomorrow since it was a Holiday.
He looked at the date. It was already mid-March. Wei Chang'an and others should have arrived around this time, but he learned after calling him that some loose ends at Commission Company were complicated to deal with, and because of personal connections, there were some additional Commissions, so he couldn't leave for the time being.
As for Luo Kaiyuan and Feng Xiaoqi, they felt that since they were a team, it would be better to come together and take care of each other, so their arrival in Central City might be postponed to April or May.
He felt that it was better to be a little later. Recently, his schedule had also been very tight, and it would not be easy to arrange things properly for so many people coming over.
At this time, he felt a Heart Jade emitting a lustrous light in his Spirit World.
It was significantly more solid and bright than last month.
In fact, under normal circumstances, SpiritCultivation progresses relatively slowly in the beginning, but the tempering method he had mastered had Hong Fu's cooperation and sparring every day.
And the High Heaven Jade Core Fragment he had obtained before could also greatly assist Cultivation, especially in terms of Spirit recovery, which allowed his CultivationSpeed to accelerate a lot.
Now, the Incense that Teacher Xue gave him had gradually ceased to have much effect, which meant that he had adapted to the current Cultivation and could enter the next stage.
So he immediately clicked on his Boundary Token and tried to contact Teacher Xue.
