The only issue is that Bai Pu can only face a limited number of enemies simultaneously in his heart image state.

The genetic heart image is a mental visualization that operates autonomously with Bai Pu's mind as a medium, constrained by Bai Pu's mental calculation power.

Bai Pu's brain computing power far exceeds ordinary people, but can still only generate five enemies at the same level simultaneously in the heart image—if the enemies are too strong, the number generated will decrease.

If he forcefully generates more than five enemies for meditation combat, it will cause lag in enemy reactions, sluggish behavior, etc., which will inevitably affect training efficiency.

This is already quite good, meaning Bai Pu's combat specialization growth rate has increased fivefold!

After training for about an hour, Bai Pu felt a little tired in his Spirit and ended the training.

During this hour of training, Bai Pu faced:

Cao Zhang wielding a Golden Halberd.

Three Power-type Personal Guards wielding Two-Handed Great Sabers.

One Endurance-type Personal Guard holding a One-Handed Saber and a Shield.

He checked and found his Two-Handed Swordsmanship Specialization had increased by 0.8% (Advanced Level 4), Fighting Specialization by 1.5% (Advanced Level 3), and One-Handed Swordsmanship and Shield Mastery Specializations by 0.3% each (Advanced Level 3)!

The Fighting Specialization proficiency increased the most because, in close combat professions, the basic footwork and weapon swings interspersed with fist and foot strikes count towards the Fighting Specialization. Bai Pu fighting five enemies simultaneously is equivalent to six people training together, naturally resulting in the highest increase.

The 0.8% increase in Two-Handed Swordsmanship Specialization is the result of Bai Pu training together with Cao Zhang's three great saber personal guards, a total of four people. This is because the proficiency required for Advanced Level 4 is much higher than that for Advanced Level 3.

The 0.3% growth in One-Handed Swordsmanship and Shield Mastery is the contribution from the last saber-shield personal guard. Bai Pu deliberately chose to materialize this saber-shield personal guard in his heart image for this purpose, and even temporarily fused with the saber-shield personal guard.

The Long-Handled Weapon Specialization improved rapidly, surprisingly progressing from Basic Level 1 to Basic Level 3 at 90%!

The rapid progress is partly due to Cao Zhang's high level of Long-Handled Weapon Specialization as the Leader and partly because Bai Pu's main battle specialization—Two-Handed Swordsmanship is effectively at Advanced Level 4, which has a cross-referencing effect on Long-Handled Weapon Specialization.

"Very good, the genetic heart image is indeed a talent enhancement option on par with the Source Blood Apostle. This spent legendary points are truly worth it! By training like this every day, my combat specialization can be upgraded in no time!"

Bai Pu opened his eyes, mentally calculating a bit and then looked at his Youth Cream Rice Cooker.

He felt the surrounding onlookers had become sparse, with only Qilin, Black Tiger, and a few others remaining.

This was quite normal, as he had closed his eyes for an hour of meditation. In other people's eyes, it could naturally be attributed to the eccentricities of a genius or maliciously speculated to be Bai Pu putting on airs.

"Are you Gangxin?"

Suddenly, a sharp surge of energy came, accompanied by a shrill voice.

Energy here is not some fantastical term but a tangible expression of change in atmosphere and sensation experienced by Awakened controlling their professional energy.

Currently, Bai Pu is still vague about energy, unable to control it freely.

But the sharp energy in front of him was emitted deliberately! Like a drawn bow, a gun barrel with the safety off, a blade against the neck.

In an instant, Bai Pu's aura became like undulating mountains, unshakeable.

This was Bai Pu's energy change influenced by external pressure.

The sharp energy, upon reaching Bai Pu, suddenly paused and then dissipated.

Bai Pu turned his head and saw a tall, thin young man. He was wearing a white tracksuit, with sharp eyes that scrutinized Bai Pu keenly.

"Are you Bai He?"

Bai Pu didn't respond but echoed the question back to him.

Black Tiger said nervously, "Gangxin, this is Brother Bai He, a member of the first batch of the Genius Camp, Level 7 Hero Profession, and a member of the Divine Strategy Team!"

Bai He smiled indifferently, "You missed one fact; I am a B+ level special service officer of the Special Service Bureau. Gangxin, you're also an auxiliary member of the Special Service Bureau, there's no need to hide that."

Bai He's voice was sharp, akin to a eunuch beside the emperor in feudal times.

Bai Pu smiled and said, "B+ level? I thought you were an Advanced Awakened, should be an A-level special service officer."

Bai He's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Li Ling, who had appeared out of nowhere, lightly coughed and said, "Bai He's ability is enough to meet the standard for an A-level special service officer, but capturing an A-level wanted criminal isn't easy. Without the merit of apprehending an A-level wanted criminal, it's very challenging to be rated as an A-level special service officer."

Bai He smiled reservedly, nodded at Li Ling, "Sister Ling is here too? Rest assured, I came looking for Gangxin not to bully him, but to invite him to join the Divine Strategy Team."

A low gasp of astonishment arose.

Black Tiger, Qilin, and others looked at Bai Pu with eyes of envy.

"Join the Divine Strategy Team?" Bai Pu hesitated for a moment.

Bai He assumed Bai Pu was too surprised to speak, and smiled, "That's right, you are the first second phase trainee to be invited. Once you join, you'll be a substitute for Boss Hua Xiong."

"A substitute?"

"If it wasn't for the MT's professional positioning and the enhanced hero being indeed rare, we wouldn't have invited a Level 5 Awakener as a substitute."

Bai He emphasized, "If you perform well, you might even receive guidance from Boss Hua Xiong, saving you many detours."

Bai Pu asked, "What are the benefits of becoming a substitute in the main team?"

"Benefits? Haha, it's an honor! It means you're just one step away from being a main team member." Bai He said, "You know the benefits of being a main team member of the guild, right?"

Bai Pu nodded slightly.

Main team members of the Divine Strategy Army enjoy preferential treatment with guild resources, including but not limited to Spiritual Points, Honor Points, equipment distribution, skill book distribution, and quite high privileges…

Of course, Bai Pu envied this, but the issue is that as a substitute, there are no such benefits until he becomes a main member.

Although the treatment for substitutes is also good, compared to Bai Pu's long-term key training contract with the Divine Strategy Army, it doesn't offer any advantage, with an annual Spiritual Points salary of only 30,000.

"Then today, come with me to the team's training base to report in." Bai He said.

"I'm not going." Bai Pu refused.

Training at the base surely wouldn't be as effective as Bai Pu's self-training with a "genetic heart image."

Also, as a substitute, he would certainly have to cater to the main team's training needs—for example, if the main team wanted to practice shield-breaking techniques, Bai Pu would have to take up the shield; if they wanted to practice remote shooting or magic attacks, Bai Pu would have to act as the target…

So Bai Pu chose to refuse.
