I Have A Dual World Seal

Chapter 1148: Chapter 1147: International Association of Psychologists

Edward himself was stunned after saying that sentence.

Am I a fool?

Zhao Xiaodao and Zhang Weili both glanced sideways.

Rick and Morris even involuntarily widened their eyes.

You should know, whether it’s the Lighthouse Country Psychologist Association or the International Association of Psychologists, Edward is ranked at the top tier.

In terms of hypnotic therapy, he is the best of the best, able to subtly conduct subconscious hypnosis on individuals without them realizing it.

Who would have thought that he would be hypnotized by someone else at the first moment?

The two simultaneously looked at Lu Zheng, wondering just how skilled this hypnosis expert was.

After Edward finished speaking, he realized as well, as a hypnotist, no, a seasoned physician in psychotherapy, he began to review almost immediately upon realizing.

Initially, I wanted to influence Lu Zheng using eye contact, language, and actions.

Then...

The other party clearly saw through my intentions, utilizing expressions—no, not just expressions—actually, when treating John, the other party had already started to influence and suggest to me.

First presenting or showcasing an image of a top-notch hypnotist.

Then, when I tried to influence him, using expressions and actions to suggest to me that I was overestimating myself.

Finally magnifying my thoughts, resulting in an inferiority complex, and articulating those thoughts.

Of course, since the contrast was so great, I snapped out of his hypnosis as soon as I spoke it out loud.

But the other party clearly did it intentionally, just to put me in my place, after I tried to influence him first.

Expert!

Super expert!

A world-class hypnotist!

Edward was in awe, never expecting to be caught off guard like this.

"Sir, you are truly impressive!" Edward bowed again, but this time sincerely, without using any techniques.

"Sit," Lu Zheng gestured with his hand.

Just now, Edward tried to influence me, so I taught him a lesson with a little application of the "Heart Sutra," and his response was decent, quite quick for a mortal.

"Thank you."

Rick and Morris each reported their identities, then sat down below Edward.

Edward also repeated the purpose of their visit.

"Out of curiosity about John’s symptoms, that’s why we came to Hua Country, and it was indeed worthwhile; Mr. Lu, you are truly remarkable, it’s awe-inspiring," Edward said.

Lu Zheng nodded, able to tell that Edward was speaking the truth; at least, he hadn’t detected any falsehood.

"You all are too kind," Lu Zheng smiled. "Just a small trick."

"Mr. Lu, you are too modest; what you did wasn’t a small trick," Rick chuckled, "No wonder you helped Miss Zhang and Miss Zhao get justice."

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, listening to Morris’s disdainful remark, "Koreans are all egotists; in such a large country, they can’t find a few qualified psychologists."

Lu Zheng nodded understandingly.

Edward explained, "It’s because of that Korean incident that we decided to visit you."

Evidently, these psychologists believed that the apology from the Korean star was also a result of Lu Zheng’s psychological suggestion, teaching them a lesson that led them to apologize voluntarily.

"We’ve analyzed that video many times, and while there’s a slight sense of it, the specific method of psychological suggestion isn’t fully visible; is it your unique technique?" Edward asked curiously.

Lu Zheng blinked and remained silent, so Edward didn’t ask further.

It’s said that Hua Country’s martial arts sects are so secretive that their legacies are lost, but it’s similar worldwide.

The knowledge that’s widely disseminated is usually stuff that can’t be passed down under normal circumstances, learned quickly after watching several times, or so widely known that secrecy isn’t required, or has only basic concepts without practical application.

Hua Country’s martial arts manuals fall into the first category, most of the knowledge you can find online is the second or third, while foundational theories are the fourth.

Additionally, there’s still lots of classified skills worldwide, the most typical involving national defense.

In the commercial arena, for instance, while the basics of psychology applications are found in books, have you seen any textbooks openly teaching hypnosis?

There’s a multitude of hypnosis methods worldwide, each sect with its own techniques, not interchangeable, but the average person won’t even see one kind in reality, only what’s depicted in books and films.

The mixture of truth and embellishment isn’t too different from Chinese martial arts...

So Edward didn’t doubt when Lu Zheng didn’t explain further.

"By the way, aside from wanting to meet Mr. Lu," Edward said, the topic shifting suddenly, "we also wanted to invite Mr. Lu to join the International Association of Psychologists."

The pace of the conversation almost threw him off balance.

"International Association of Psychologists?" Lu Zheng couldn’t help but pause, "What’s that?"

Edward explained, "It’s a non-official organization, formed by renowned psychologists from around the world, primarily for sharing knowledge, and providing paid assistance when necessary.

Joining the association requires three physicians as guarantors, but with Mr. Lu’s skills, you’re definitely qualified to join.

The association has no official background or offices, essentially being a circle of mutually recognized members, so you don’t need to have any concerns, Mr. Lu."

Lu Zheng blinked and smiled, "But I don’t have a psychologist license."

"Joining the association only requires a recommendation, no license needed, and... once you join, I believe you’ll soon be issued a license by the authorities.

The association doesn’t have an official background, but the members are highly valued by the authorities."

Edward spoke with confidence, matched by Rick and Morris’s equally assured expressions.

"Are there any members from Hua Country in your association?" Lu Zheng asked with curiosity.

"Three," Edward nodded, "A professor from Beidu University named Huang Kaiyuan, a professor at Xiehe Hospital named Liu Yunchuan, and a professor at the Armed Police Academy named Lin Qing."

"Armed Police Academy?" Zhao Xiaodao’s interest was piqued, and asked curiously.

Edward understood what she meant and winked at her with a mischievous smile, "Not just Professor Lin Qing, but Huang Kaiyuan and Liu Yunchuan are also involved with the authorities.

In many undisclosed domains related to human subjects, top psychologists are required, and I have a lot of inside information, Miss Zhao, if you’re interested, I can share?"

Zhao Xiaodao shook her head; she couldn’t listen any more, as continuing might lead to being invited for a ’chat’.
