Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 381 Fog
Chen Chuan can not only make use of ghost stories, but also master some simple esoteric rituals. Because he has reference materials, if he is given enough time and materials, he can actually come up with more complicated ones.

However, esoteric rituals also have many shortcomings. Most of the time, they need to be drawn on the ground and buildings in advance, and it is almost impossible to use them to restrict fighters.

Even if a powerful fighter does not understand the use of biological fields, he still has a keen sense of danger and will immediately dodge if he finds something wrong.

And those patterns can be easily destroyed by them, so it is not a good idea to draw directly based on the buildings, which is a waste of effort.

His idea now is to draw the ritual pattern on the inside of his protective suit and prepare a sacrificial auxiliary ceremony. As for the sacrifices, they will be the enemies that are about to appear.

He was busy for an entire afternoon, carefully painting on several pieces of clothing, and then he tried to paint some on the gloves and the protective mask, so that they were enough for a complete set.

After completing these, while waiting for the ritual materials to be attached, he stepped onto the academy platform.

Last month he applied for the third level of practice, and the academy responded to him five days later, saying that it had entered the approval process and asked him to wait.

By the beginning of October, they said they had received confirmation from the processing bureau that he had signed a confidentiality agreement, so some procedures were saved. However, they also sent him another agreement document at that time, which was mainly to ensure that the third-limit cultivation knowledge would not be disseminated privately.

After the document was signed, the third level of practice knowledge was opened to him on the platform.

He had read it before. It contained information from both the old and new eras. Most of the information from the old era was free, but most of the information from the new era had to be purchased. The prices were not low, but they were all within his affordability.

But even so, there is still some knowledge that is temporarily not open to him, such as the methods of taking special medicines and related services are not available for query.

This is because the college needs to have a record of the government's distribution of special drugs before it will grant them. As for the company's distribution records, they do not recognize them.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't have these, because as long as I have a second me, he doesn't particularly need them.

He mainly read some key points and knowledge on cultivation, such as how to better refine essence and blood and accumulate spiritual energy.

These two things are very important. Through his experience, he knows that spirit can be used to stabilize oneself and prevent the spirit from drifting, while essence and blood can be a stable anchor point that allows the fighter to use to maintain his own material existence and prevent unpredictable changes in the body.

The cultivation method of the new era is constantly summarized and optimized on the basis of what the predecessors have left behind. It can be said to be the most efficient. He felt that it was well worth the purchase. He has been using this method these days.

But it does not mean that the methods of the old times have no merits, because the drugs at that time had more impurities and came from different sources, so there were many identification and targeted methods, and more emphasis was placed on the skills of application in various extreme environments.

For example, there is a method that allows one to continue practicing and maintain combat effectiveness even when seriously injured; there is also a method to maintain practice in sleep;
He even learned how to use the remaining alienated tissues to maintain practice and unleash combat power after losing most of his limbs, which opened his eyes.

In addition to these, he focused on the third limit of force generation method.

The strength and the methods of honing the strength at this stage are more complicated and detailed. At a more advanced stage, it also requires the coordination of essence, blood, and spirit, which is far beyond the first and second limits. This is the case with the application techniques of the Baking Furnace Breathing Method that he had come into contact with before.

This is because any fighter who reaches the third limit must be someone with a high degree of coverage by the alienated organization. According to the information given on the platform, the coverage rate is at least over 45 percent.

Sometimes, coverage can even be used as a measure of a third-level fighter's strength. Of course, there are too many factors to consider in a real fight, and it cannot be determined by such a simple value, but it is enough to illustrate the important role it can play.

In order to increase the coverage rate, some third-level fighters will spend a lot of effort to make up for their shortcomings, while others will use implants and illegal alienated tissue transplants.

Because he was practicing Zhou Yuan Jin Li, he had been taking the path of full coverage from the very beginning, so there was no need to turn back and make up for the lessons. Now he just had to move forward.

Theoretically, he could learn most of the power-generating methods taught in these courses, but he currently did not have the time and energy, so he just picked a few of the more practical ones and focused on practicing them, mainly to enrich his offensive methods.

During this period of time, he bought various cultivation knowledge from school and took medicine continuously. His strength improved slightly almost every day.

This is normal, because other fighters do not have sufficient supply of special medicines like him. Basically, companies and governments will only distribute some to them after they have made some achievements and contributions.

Because they are afraid that the fighters may have problems, sometimes they will deliberately extend the intervals between drug methods. No one can use them continuously like him.

While exercising, he did not forget the security around him, and tried to exercise during the noon time. The manor was less likely to be attacked during the day, because it was very convenient to observe and call for manpower. Therefore, if there was an attack, it must be at night or near dawn.

During this time, he would dress neatly, with guns and knives at hand, and sit still instead of sleeping, so that he could react immediately if there was any movement or he noticed something. A few more days passed, and it was late October, and most of the maple leaves outside were red.

After finishing his practice that day, Chen Chuan checked the weather forecast and found that the weather conditions indicated that there might be heavy fog in the central city in the next two days.

He looked at the swaying branches outside, which were now making a rustling sound like the sound of the ocean waves, and the red fallen leaves flying everywhere, and thought to himself, "It's coming."

Two days later, on October 23rd, at four in the morning, on the outskirts of Motie Mountain.

A tall man stood under a street light, looking at the empty road in front of him. The distance was obscured by a hazy fog, and even he could not see clearly what was too far away.

At this time, he heard the sound of car engines and bright headlights shining through the fog. First, a leading armored vehicle broke through the fog. The logo of a security company was painted on the wet surface of the car. After that, one similar armored vehicle after another came out of the fog.

The convoy slowly stopped after it got closer, and the front door of one of the modified and extended armored vehicles opened, and a man wearing a gray smock and with a hunched back walked out.

He was skinny, with bulging eyes and hands that almost reached the ground, but even so, he was more than two meters tall. He said to the tall man in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Sheng, the boss is calling you."

Xiao Sheng hurriedly walked up and when he arrived at the side of the car, the back seat window slowly moved down, and a man in his forties with a slicked-back hair was sitting there.

He had a cane in his hand and was wearing a high-necked imported suit. His lips were very thin and pale, and a snake-shaped pendant hung on his left ear. But when he glanced over, it seemed as if he was staring at people, which was very creepy.

Even though Xiao Sheng had faced this situation many times, he still felt a shudder in his heart. He quickly lowered his head and said respectfully, "Boss."

The middle-aged man said, "Are you all ready?"

Xiao Sheng said: "There is a small problem. I have tried to send a contact signal every day these days, but there has been no response until now. My judgment is that the person arranged by the employer is likely to have been purged.

Even if our resonators can break through the outer field blockade, they will still be unable to deal with the inner defense for a short period of time, so we can't expect to deal with these from the inside."

The middle-aged man did not seem to be bothered by these things and said, "Then we can use the field to shield the creatures."

Xiao Sheng said: "It's just that the biological field of Motie Mountain is relatively strong, so if we use this method, we only have about half an hour to three quarters of an hour for the raid, and we have to add our retreat time to this, so the actual time given to us may only be fifteen to twenty minutes. But if you give me a few more days to prepare..."

The middle-aged man interrupted him and said, "The employer is pressing us. We don't have time to wait any longer. This weather is also the best for action. Just follow your plan. You have never let me down in previous actions."

Xiao Sheng said solemnly: "Yes, Boss."

"Get in the car."

Xiao Sheng immediately ran to a car behind. After sitting in it, he looked back and saw that everyone had taken off their badges as planned. He felt relieved.

The convoy set off again and drove into the Motieshan Manor. They were not stopped when entering the defense zone because they had become the temporary owners of a house in Motieshan through a series of operations and obtained the pass here. Otherwise, there would be no way for them to enter the residential area of ​​Motieshan so openly.

There was no problem on the road at first, but when they were driving towards the Meng family manor, two patrol cars drove over and sent a communication:

"The convoy ahead, according to night driving safety regulations, please stop and show your resident information and your current destination."

The convoy did not continue to move forward, but instead slowly stopped one by one.

Two patrol cars drove up, one of them moved forward, and the other stopped far behind. Hands were placed in a convenient position to take out guns, and the other was pressed on the boundary alarm button. As long as something was found wrong, the alarm would be sounded immediately, and the security system of Motie Mountain would be put into operation immediately.
