After a brief introduction to "Lock," Zhao Jingzhong didn't have anyone demonstrate the skill's effect. Instead, he moved on to the next topic: "I presume you're all very curious about the crystal body in front of you?"

"Some of you might have already guessed – you will be using this crystal body to learn Aura Techniques."

"Although 'Clothing' and 'Lock' are extremely simple, unflashy, and not very lethal Aura Techniques – at least not very lethal in your hands – they are still very valuable techniques. Once you learn them, it's basically equivalent to having the power to perfectly subdue others at all times."

"Even if you are in subways, trains, or airports, ordinary security checks cannot detect your Qi Vortex. You don't need any weapons; you are sufficient to deal with any ordinary person in non-violent organizations."

"Taekwondo, Karate, Xingyiquan, Baguaquan, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu... all the martial arts learned by ordinary people are meaningless against you. As long as they are caught by you, they will inevitably end up being subdued."

"In other words, after learning this, you are already halfway to becoming 'Superman'," Zhao Jingzhong said. "Such important techniques naturally cannot be casually spread."

"You are individuals who have been approved by the state, have clean backgrounds, and possess the qualifications to learn these two Aura Techniques. However, human hearts are unpredictable. If other unregistered awakeners obtain these two Aura Techniques through you, it will become a huge social hidden danger."

"Therefore, your learning method is—"

Zhao Jingzhong pointed to his head, "It can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words."

"This cubic crystal body is a special learning tool developed by the Academy of Sciences, called the 'Law Net Instrument'. Hold the crystal body and try to circulate the Breathing Method to mobilize your aura."

Ren Suo and the others gently picked up the crystal body floating on the base. They felt it was cool to the touch, and the sharp-edged crystal body refracted warm light under the incandescent lamp.

The Breathing Method is not necessarily effective only when in a state of movement. Especially for cultivator students who already possess a Qi Vortex, running the Breathing Method normally can also induce aura, but the efficiency is very low. According to scientific statistics, the basic Breathing Method has only one-thousandth the effect, the intermediate Breathing Method has one-three-hundredth the effect, and the advanced Breathing Method has one-eightieth the effect, which is not even as good as using it for sleep.

But when they performed the Breathing Method at this time, they could see the crystal body suddenly glow slightly, and then a chaotic sensation came from the arm touching the crystal body – like the feeling in your calf when you suddenly stand up after squatting in the toilet for half an hour – this chaotic sensation was transmitted along the arm all the way to the student's head.

Then, the left eye of the student holding the crystal body in their left hand showed a change, and the right eye of the student holding the crystal body in their right hand showed a change.

Ren Suo was holding it in his right hand, and then his right eye completely lost its normal vision, seeing only vast, lonely darkness.

"Close both eyes and follow the guidance properly," Zhao Jingzhong said.

Ren Suo closed his eyes, and the world in his eyes immediately plunged into darkness. In the blur, he saw a gray seed in the dark space, different from the darkness.

He tried to touch this seed with his 'thought', but in his vision, this seed would ripple because of his thoughts, but there was no other reaction besides that.

What's going on? Ren Suo was slightly startled, but soon he heard Zhao Jingzhong say: "There are still classes that haven't taken their positions... wait a moment."

Two minutes later, Zhao Jingzhong said again: "It's about to start, you must follow the guidance, wait patiently, and don't mess around! Countdown 10 seconds, 9, 8, 7..."

When Zhao Jingzhong counted down to 0, Ren Suo saw firelight ignite in the dark space.

In the extremely distant distance, a faint flame, seemingly about to extinguish at any moment, lit up. The distance was so far that Ren Suo almost thought it was an illusion.

However, the next second, another place also lit up with a faint firelight, followed by the third, fourth, fifth...

In just a few seconds, Ren Suo saw countless flames ignite in various parts of the dark space. Although the flames were faint and insignificant, all the flames were connected to each other, weaving a large crimson net that completely illuminated the entire dark space!

The gray seed he had tried to touch just now, he only needed to move his mind, and the gray seed immediately ignited with fierce flames!

With a divine clarity, Ren Suo knew that this was his avatar in the dark space, and he had a strange spiritual connection with the flames.

"Welcome, cultivators, to the Law Net." A line of Song typeface appeared before Ren Suo in the form of flames: "It is now time to impart 'Clothing' and 'Lock'."

"Now performing regional authentication. The person in charge of the Qinghai Region, please ignite the authentication fire."

Ren Suo saw that in the endless flames, the light of one flame flickered slightly, and then a red circle appeared centered on this flame, encompassing the flames next to it.

"Next, the person in charge of the Tianjing Region..."

Following the guidance of the text, more and more red circles appeared in the dark space. Soon it was Ren Suo and the others' turn: "Regional heads for Lian Province, please ignite the certification fire."

Ren Suo only felt his vision instantly filled with the light of a flame, occupying all colors. Then he saw his own flame within a huge light red protective shield. So this was what the red circle looked like.

After a few more minutes, the fiery text seemed to have finally completed the certification for all regions, and then proceeded to the next step: "Alright, all heads please download 'Eye' and 'Lock' now."

Download? Hearing such an internet term suddenly, Ren Suo was also taken aback.

Then the fiery text transformed into two large characters emitting a warm yellow light: Clothes (Clothing), Lock (Lock). Countless fiery lines extended from these two large characters, connecting to the borders of each red circle.

Ren Suo saw that when the fiery lines from the two large characters touched the red circle he was in, the red circle swayed for a moment, and then countless more fiery lines extended to the flames within the circle.

It was as if fuel had been added to Ren Suo's own flame, making it burn more vigorously. The next second, he felt a surge of information like a flood pouring into his consciousness—

It wasn't text, it wasn't sound, it wasn't even images.

Instead, Ren Suo felt as if he was in a memory. With a thought, his Qi Vortex spun, and his aura moved according to Ren Suo's will, either transforming into armor to protect his body, or turning into airflow passing through his arm to become an invisible lock!

When Ren Suo came back to his senses, he saw fiery text appear before him: "Clothing and Lock transmission has ended. This Law Net teaching will end in 13 seconds."

13 seconds later, the furthest flame quietly extinguished, and then, like a city-wide power outage, the continuous expanse of flames everywhere in the dark space extinguished in swathes. Even Ren Suo's own flame seemed to lose its fuel and extinguished instantly.

The Law Net was gone, returning to darkness.

Ren Suo opened his eyes and saw the other trainees also putting down their Crystal Bodies, their faces filled with excitement and shock.

"This is the method of transmitting Aura Techniques," Zhao Jingzhong, standing at the front, said calmly.

"It can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words."
