Chapter 789: The lingering sound
After the image on the field screen stabilized, the spectators could also see the scene clearly. Just from the state and appearance of the two parties involved, they could tell who won the final victory.
Before the war, many people had thought about a one-sided situation, but most of them subconsciously regarded Long Xiang as the stronger one. But who would have thought that the actual result would be just the opposite?
On the Municipal Council side, the image on the field screen finally froze at the place where Chen Chuan and Long Xiang had just fought.
Although the fight lasted only a short while, the ground in the wasteland was devastated everywhere, as if it had been bombarded by a powerful artillery shell. The fighter's destructive power was clearly revealed, which greatly shocked those who witnessed it.
There was silence in the hall for a while, and then feelings of panic, anger, and anxiety gradually spread here.
The city councilors originally thought that as long as Long Xiang defeated Chen Chuan in battle and frightened him, everything would be fine.
But now it seems that this person not only failed to stop Chen Chuan, but instead made the latter see clearly that the obstacles ahead were nothing but superficial.
If this person really wants to attack them now, who can stop him?
Just rely on active consciousness?
The active consciousness of the Municipal Council, "Guardian Spider", is technically comparable to Hong Fu of Wuyi Academy. In theory, it is very powerful, but no one can figure out its true strength before an actual battle, not even they themselves know for sure.
And this thing is actually a deterrent. Its existence is more important than its practicality. It is of greatest value only before it is triggered. Once it appears, it is easy for people to lose their awe.
After witnessing Long Xiang's failure, they are now even more afraid to use this thing and can only use it as their last trump card.
The people present were feeling extremely uneasy at this moment. Some of them accused the parliamentarians who allowed Long Xiang to test them. If they had known the result would be like this, they would not have done it in the first place.
After some evasion and heated arguments, everyone finally reached a consensus that they must strengthen cooperation with the alliance and cultivate a new sense of activity as soon as possible.
Under Chen Chuan's pressure, they felt that only by having two active consciousnesses at the same time could they have a little self-protection power.
However, the cultivation of an active consciousness is not a matter of overnight. Depending on the role and form of the consciousness, it usually takes several years or even more than ten years to cultivate.
Of course, in order to quickly form combat effectiveness this time, the consortium brought an embryo with complete technology, which can completely omit the initial investment. But even so, it may take one to two years.
Their willingness to provide Chen Chuan with three years of cultivation resources was not only for appeasement, but also for this very purpose. He figured that even for the sake of these resources, he would have considered before taking action. Someone else might even have acted in defense of the Council. Of course, he didn't expect Chen Chuan to do so, but simply hoped they could hold out for a while.
After finishing this topic, Chairman Quan came out alone, put his crutch on the ground, frowned and thought deeply. The crisis before him was resolved, but the problem was far from over. It can be imagined that when the things in the fusion land are over, Yao Zhiyi will come back.
These are two fighters.
The imbalance in high-end military power, coupled with this defeat, will make it difficult for them to have as loud a voice as before in negotiations with the Government Affairs Office. It is inevitable that their living space will be compressed in the next period of time.
But fortunately, there is still a chance. There is not only one intensive cultivation sect in the central city, but also a fusion sect.
He knew that some people in the parliament were fusionists, and he had many private connections with them. Some of them might not even be considered human beings anymore.
However, until now he has no intention of actively looking for the fusion faction. This is because the fusion faction may have been deeply involved in that incident back then. If the pure faction regains a foothold in Jibei Road, the fusion faction may not be able to tolerate it.
While he was thinking, he suddenly saw an important contact signal coming in. After seeing it, he immediately answered and said, "Mr. Long?"
"Hahaha... Speaker Quan."
Just by listening to the voice, you couldn't tell that this was the same person who had been beaten so miserably just now.
"I'm sure you've seen the outcome of the battle just now. I hope you can fulfill your promise as soon as possible and deliver the high-energy ingredients that person needs to make up for the losses in this battle. It doesn't matter to me if it's late at night, but as for that side...you can decide for yourself."
Speaker Quan said, "Mr. Long, thank you for your reminder. I have already arranged this matter immediately. Your copy should be delivered in a few minutes. However... may I ask a question?"
"Huh...what do you want to ask?"
Chairman Quan said, "Mr. Long, did you give your all in this battle?"
There was a moment of silence over there, and after a short laugh, a deep voice came out: "Are you asking if I let you win? Let me put it this way, this battle wasn't a real life-and-death struggle, otherwise I might be lying there.
I roughly understand your thoughts. You think that because I am a senior, my fighting ability should be stronger. In theory, this is true, but the actual situation is more complicated and it is difficult to explain clearly to you.
Well, that's all I have to say. Send the stuff out as soon as possible."
After saying this, Mr. Long immediately ended the conversation.
He personally took winning and losing quite lightly. After becoming a fourth-level fighter, as long as there were no problems in his training, he was not killed by the enemy halfway, or his own life energy was not exhausted, and he was not infected by some external factors, his life span would hardly come to an end naturally. At least he had never heard of any fighter dying of old age.
This gives him enough time to improve himself.
Losing once wasn't a problem, especially in this kind of competition. It actually helped him identify his weaknesses, giving him experience for the next real fight. But that didn't mean he liked discussing it with others, especially when he had just lost in front of so many people.
He sighed inwardly: "The Purist faction has gained a new expert."
But he seemed to have thought of something and smiled meaningfully, because the ones who would be more worried from now on would not be their Jingxiu faction. As expected, there would be something interesting to watch next.
On the other hand, the contact person of the other Federation, under the instruction of the representatives of the Federation, tried to get some information from the fighter Prabhakar.
"Master, Mr. Long didn't use all his strength this time, right?"
Prabhakar gave a clear and affirmative answer: "No."
The liaison officer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Put it this way, if it's a real life-and-death battle..."
Prabhakar smiled. "You misunderstood. He wasn't able to use his full strength, not because he didn't want to, but because he simply couldn't. Before he could unleash it, Manager Chen stopped him. In my opinion, even if these two fought again, the outcome would be the same."
The contact was shocked. He didn't expect to receive such an evaluation. He thought for a moment and asked, "If you, Master, had stepped forward at that time, you would surely have been able to get this person to back down..."
Prabhakar didn't answer his question directly. He just shook his head and smiled, saying, "Although Mr. Long lost the battle, it may not be a bad thing. Once the cause is set, there will be consequences. This matter is already complicated and confusing, why add me to it?"
The contact person thought about it and seemed to understand a little. He touched his chest and said, "Thank you, Master, for telling me this."
At the same time, Chen Chuan was driving his Gard car back to the city, thinking about the route he would take next.
Wei Guochan and Long Xiang both practiced different appearances. Their path of practice was to rely on various external appearances. In the fourth limit, they needed to "maintain the true form and gather the spiritual appearance". If they could not maintain it, the external appearance would probably become the true self.
Just as Long Xiang said just now, he might not be able to control his emotions, which should be due to the influence of external appearances. This may not be due to insufficient cultivation, but the inevitable consequence of clinging to external appearances. In the end, it is hard to say whether my true self will be infected by it and regard external appearances as my true form.
As for the appearance of God, he has not come into contact with it specifically, but this path only recognizes the self of the heart, not the self of the body. The body is not the most important thing on this path, and in his cognition, the complete self is me, so there is no need to think too much about the path he takes, it must be the appearance of a human.
So how does relying solely on the human body compare with the other two paths of spiritual practice?
He made a breakthrough with an unprecedented foundation, so he can defeat some people with his physical fitness, but what do other people who take this path rely on?
While he was thinking, the phone rang. He looked at it and connected it. A wise voice rang out: "Cousin, someone from the Municipal Council contacted me.
This time, they have stored your battle compensation at the Wansheng Group, and you can get it at any time.
In addition, the city council will provide three years of practice resources and asked my cousin when to sign the agreement. You can set a suitable time."
Chen Chuan said calmly, "Tell them that there's no need to sign an agreement. Just ask them to remember to provide it."
This agreement is a unilateral payment from the municipal council. Even if he doesn't sign it, the council will still give him what he owes. If they don't, he can come to the council at any time. Moreover, Long Xiang is the guarantor, so the council dare not deny it.
He actually knew what the other party's plan was. They simply wanted to use these resources to trap him so that he wouldn't have to cause trouble for these people for the time being and buy time for himself to accumulate strength. However, he also had a lot to learn now, and it would depend on who had accumulated more strength.
