On the way to the Demon Suppression Grand Hall.
"Qin Hundred-Household, I have a tricky problem right now."
"My physical body has exceeded the control of my soul. How should this situation be resolved?" Chu Jiang looked at Qin Hundred-Household and began to ask.
Qin Hundred-Household had been in the Demon Suppression Division for many years and should know a thing or two about this.
Qin Hundred-Household's expression changed slightly, and their voice was a little low, "Physical body exceeding the soul?"
This situation was something that 99% of people would never encounter.
It was too rare.
Generally speaking, a person's soul controlling their physical body would only consume one-third of their Soul Power, with the remaining Soul Power located in the Spiritual Platform to deal with special circumstances.
If this situation occurred...
Doesn't that mean Chu Jiang's physical body has already far surpassed that of an ordinary Vajra Realm expert?
He had truly struck gold.
Chu Jiang's expression was a little solemn, and he said, "Does the Demon Suppression Division have a solution?"
In his current state, his physical body and soul would likely completely detach in another month.
It had to be resolved quickly.
Qin Hundred-Household pondered and said, "The Demon Suppression Division has collected more than half of the various classics, martial arts, ancient histories, etc., in the world. There is naturally a solution to your problem."
"You just need to cultivate a Spiritual Platform Secret Technique. Once your soul power surpasses your physical body, the problem will be solved with ease."
"However..."
Chu Jiang frowned and asked, "Doesn't the Demon Suppression Division have any Spiritual Platform Secret Techniques?"
If even the Demon Suppression Division didn't have one, he didn't know where else in the world he could find it.
"The Demon Suppression Division naturally has such collections."
"Spiritual Platform Secret Techniques, which specialize in cultivating the soul, are extremely precious. Our Yunzhou Demon Suppression Bureau has less than ten volumes, and some of them are incomplete."
"Moreover, the resources in the Demon Suppression Division, whether they are cultivation methods, martial arts, weapons, or elixirs, can only be exchanged with Contribution Points."
"And the Contribution Points required to exchange for a Spiritual Platform Secret Technique are an astronomical figure. The soul is the core of a person, and cultivation methods are only introduced when one reaches the Grandmaster level."
"You won't be able to obtain it in a short time."
Qin Hundred-Household said slowly. Chu Jiang's physical body clearly couldn't wait that long, and even if he could obtain a Spiritual Platform Secret Technique, it wouldn't immediately increase his soul power.
The difficulty of cultivating Spiritual Platform Secret Techniques is extremely high. Even a Grandmaster might only barely get started after spending more than ten years. The path of the soul is mysterious and unfathomable.
Chu Jiang: "Besides Spiritual Platform Secret Techniques, are there any other methods?"
He wasn't worried about the difficulty of cultivating soul secret techniques.
He had the system panel. No matter how difficult the cultivation was, if he threw in a few hundred years of Lifespan, he didn't believe there wouldn't be any change.
It was just these Contribution Points that were a bit difficult to obtain.
The last time Zhang Sanbao reported the matter of Black Tiger Mountain, he was the primary contributor and was given fifty Contribution Points.
This was already considered a lot, equivalent to the Contribution Points for an Earth Tier mission.
The Demon Suppression Division Entry Guide stated that.
The missions in the Demon Suppression Division were divided into three tiers.
Human Tier missions corresponded to the Xiantian level.
Earth Tier missions corresponded to the Vajra level.
Heaven Tier missions required a Grandmaster to handle them.
Completing a Human Tier mission could earn 1-5 Contribution Points. If the mission was special and required long-term garrison duty, it might be higher, reaching ten or even twenty points, like Zhang Sanbao's case.
Earth Tier missions were above fifty Contribution Points.
As for Heaven Tier, it was even higher, with five hundred points being just the starting point, and possibly thousands or even tens of thousands.
It was indeed difficult to exchange for something in the short term.
"Yes, I will explain your situation to Left Commander when we meet him later," Qin Hundred-Household said.
"Okay! Then I'll trouble you, Qin Hundred-Household!" Chu Jiang replied with a smile.
"No need to be so polite! We're all on the same side!" Qin Hundred-Household waved his hand with a smile.
The two passed through layers of buildings and arrived at the Demon Suppression Grand Hall.
"Greetings, Left Commander!"
Chu Jiang looked at a person in the Demon Suppression Grand Hall wearing a thousand-household Kirin Robe, with seven mysterious swords inserted in their back, emitting an eerie red light.
He put down the book in his hand and said with a smile, "Sit down quickly. Your actions in Baishi County this time were quite significant."
"To think that you defeated Gu Hongchen of the Sword King Sect and even demanded a thousand-year-old medicinal herb from him. Well done, you've greatly boosted the prestige of our Demon Suppressing Guards."
The smile on Left Commander's face grew brighter. He was satisfied with Chu Jiang's actions. Currently, the Great Chu court was plagued by internal and external troubles, and the people were suffering.
Demons are rampant outside, martial arts sects are restless within, and the Earth Fiend Hall lurks in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.
In this chaotic era, only iron-blooded methods and killing to stop killing can bring peace to the world.
However, not all Hundred-Households in the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Bureau share this view.
With the demons becoming increasingly rampant, the Demon Suppression Bureau is struggling to cope. For the martial arts sects in the rear, appeasement should be the primary approach, with deterrence as a secondary measure.
"This matter is all thanks to the Hundred-Household's support from behind the scenes!" Chu Jiang nodded and thanked him.
Along the way, Qin Hundred-Household had naturally told him about Left Commander, and he hadn't expected Left Commander to value him so much.
If anything were to happen to him, they would suppress the Sword King Sect.
How majestic and domineering.
Left Commander looked at Chu Jiang and said loudly:
"By the way, I called you here this time because the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Bureau's decennial Genius Selection Competition is about to begin, and I have already submitted your name."
"The better your performance during the trial, the higher your final rating will be."
"Genius ratings are divided into four tiers: A, B, C, and D."
"The higher the rating, the richer the rewards."
Genius Selection!
A flicker of passion flashed in Qin Hundred-Household's eyes within the hall. His age had already exceeded the maximum selection age of forty.
However, when he was young, he had participated and was rated as a D-tier genius.
The resources he obtained allowed him to advance rapidly in the Vajra Realm, greatly increasing his combat power.
The four major genius ratings—A, B, C, and D—are not solely set by the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Bureau but by the entire Great Chu, with unified national standards.
Even the lowest D-tier genius would be considered a prodigy capable of dominating a region in the outside world. However, the Demon Suppression Bureau does not publicize these ratings; instead, they keep them hidden.
It's like how the Demon Suppressing Guards do not participate in the so-called Human Ranking.
Back then, Left Commander topped the Genius Selection Competition and was rated as a B-tier genius.
He was noticed by the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Commissioner, who not only granted him B-tier genius treatment but also personally tutored him for three months.
After that, he soared to unprecedented heights, becoming unstoppable.
At the age of thirty-five, he advanced to the Grandmaster Realm and became a Hundred-Household in the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Bureau.
Now, he is the most formidable among the more than a dozen Hundred-Households in Yunzhou, hailed as the person closest to the Commissioner within the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Bureau.
Chu Jiang's eyes lit up. This was an opportunity. Although he had a system panel, the effects would be vastly different with the aid of these elixirs and heavenly treasures.
If I'm going to aim, I'll aim for the strongest.
My initial goal is to achieve A-tier genius.
As for hiding my strength, unless my brain is rusted.
He had already joined the Demon Suppression Bureau. As long as he didn't betray humanity or the Demon Suppression Bureau, he would receive their full support and cultivation.
The stronger the strength he displayed, the better.
"Oh, Commander, Chu Jiang's physical strength has already exceeded the limit of his soul control. Please suppress it for him, otherwise, Commander Chu's strength will be greatly affected," Qin Hundred-Household said.
Upon hearing this, Left Commander extended his right hand and pressed it against Chu Jiang's forehead.
"What surging Blood Essence! His physique is almost comparable to some weaker Grandmasters. No wonder his soul can't be controlled. You've given me quite a surprise, kid!"
Half an hour later, Left Commander withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "Alright, I've used Grandmaster True Essence to suppress it, which will keep your body and soul safe for three months. However, this is not a long-term solution. To resolve it completely, you'll need to cultivate the Spiritual Platform Secret Technique."
Chu Jiang moved his body, feeling much more relaxed. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Commander."
"No need to be polite," Left Commander waved his hand. "This Genius Selection Competition is a major event for our Demon Suppression Bureau. You must give it your all and strive for excellent results. If you can be rated as a B-tier genius, you can go to the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion and choose any one technique."
"The third floor of the Scripture Pavilion houses the most precious martial arts and cultivation techniques of the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Bureau, including the Spiritual Platform Secret Technique you desire."
Chu Jiang nodded solemnly, "Your subordinate will not fail your expectations, Commander Left!"
"Good," Left Commander nodded with satisfaction. "You may go back and prepare. The competition is only a few days away, and I will send someone to notify you."
Chu Jiang cupped his fists again, and then left the Demon Suppression Grand Hall with Qin Hundred-Household.
