Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 277: Progress
The next morning at five o'clock, Chen Chuan woke up, washed, and tidied himself up, preparing to leave. After getting dressed, he seemed to sense something and glanced towards the door.
He adjusted his collar, walked over, and opened the door. Unexpectedly, someone he hadn't anticipated was waiting there: Wild Sect's Martial Artist, Gao Qiu.
He said, "Senior Gao?"
Gao Qiu had no bandages or anything of the sort on him. Apart from missing an arm, his spirit seemed no different from when he was on stage yesterday.
He said very solemnly, "Chen student, I learned your address from the cruise ship management. I came specifically to thank you. If it weren't for you yesterday, I would have died there."
Saying that, he tossed something over.
Chen Chuan caught it. Opening his hand, he saw it was a smoothly polished sharp tooth pendant.
"If you are interested in wilderness Cultivation, you can come find us with this. The people of Wild Sect will welcome you."
Chen Chuan nodded. He glanced at Gao Qiu's empty right arm. Having lost an arm, and with Wild Sect not using any Implants, this person's combat power would probably be greatly reduced in the future.
Gao Qiu noticed his gaze. He was quite frank, saying, "Originally, if I could have found the shattered bones and reattached them, they could have grown back, but it seems that's not possible now.
But it doesn't matter. I did my best to fight. The experience of failure is also a wealth. I will teach it to the younger generation and let them pass it on. Wild Sect is not just one person, but everyone. Remember, those who remember failure will head towards success."
He looked to the side, "It seems someone is looking for you. I'll leave first. See you again if there's a chance."
Chen Chuan turned his head and saw Lu Shiqi walking towards him at the end of the cabin corridor. The difference was that overnight, this person's broken arm had been restored completely. It was unknown whether it was reconnected or replaced.
The advantage of Implants is here. Things in some places can be replaced and implanted through surgery.
This person nodded to each other when passing by Gao Qiu. Although they were opponents in the Martial Combat arena, there was no deep hatred between them.
Lu Shiqi walked up to Chen Chuan. This person said, "Chen student, I'm not good at talking. I'm here on behalf of the Company to thank you. In the Company's words, you saved the Company's assets." He handed over a card. "This is the Company's gratitude. I hope you can accept it."
Chen Chuan took it and saw it was a Wansheng Consortium gold card. This time, they were directly giving money? Lu Shiqi's Company's thanks seemed very practical.
He put the gold card in his pocket and said, "Then I'll accept it."
Seeing him accept it, Lu Shiqi didn't say anything more, nodded to him, and turned around and left.
Chen Chuan returned to the room and continued packing. At six thirty in the morning, the four left the Rhinoceros Horn Cruise Ship and took a speedboat back to Port. Before the four of them, Pan Xiaode was eager to try and said, "Chen classmate, we haven't competed before. Why don't we find a place to compete now?"
Tan Zhi said, "Isn't it better to be friendly? You have to compete."
Pan Xiaode held out a fist. "We Martial Artists must communicate with our fists. Only by taking a friend's fist can there be true friendship between each other."
Chen Chuan thought to himself that next time he would have to use his fist.
He said very sincerely, "I think fighting with Classmate Pan might be hard to Control the time. I've already made an appointment with teacher. I can't keep teacher waiting. Let's make an appointment another day."
Pan Xiaode agreed very much. He felt that his level was not much different from Chen Chuan's, and a fight would definitely grind on for an hour and a half. If it was a tie all the time, they might have to fight all day. It was indeed difficult to Control the time. Moreover, when he competed with Chen Chuan, he couldn't let Qi Huixin not participate, right? They had to find a good time.
He said regretfully, "Then only next time."
After parting ways with the two, Chen Chuan took Tan Zhi's car back. This time he didn't return to the Mysterious Palace Tower, but directly asked Tan Zhi to take him to Teacher Zheng's house.
He said goodbye to Tan Zhi in front of the house and entered the house. He saw Teacher Zheng inside. After greeting him, Teacher Zheng said with a smile, "Did you have a good Holiday?"
Chen Chuan said, "Many surprises."
Teacher Zheng said, "That's good. You young people should be nervous when you should be nervous, and you should relax when you should relax. Well, today's training is still defense. Come with me."
Chen Chuan followed him into the training room. After a little activity, he saw that Zheng Tongtong was ready.
The previous two training sessions were Parry Heavy Blade and light sword, but this time, Zheng Tongtong was holding two knives in her left and right hands. After her reminder, he realized that these two knives were originally one light and one heavy, but they looked exactly the same on the outside. Even if he said it in advance, it would be difficult to distinguish them.
Logically speaking, when a person is holding two knives of different weights, there will be slight differences in the center of gravity and footsteps. However, Zheng Tongtong couldn't see it at all when she was moving.
Just by this skill alone, he could see that her Internal energy level was extremely high, otherwise she wouldn't be able to do this. If he could also do this, then Xiong Jian Yi would not have been able to judge his next move by observing his movement Rhythm.
Zheng Tongtong waved two knives, "Junior, are you ready?"
Chen Chuan raised the knife, stood firm, and nodded.
Without saying a word, Zheng Tongtong lunged forward and wielded two knives to slash at him in turn.
Because Chen Chuan only had one knife to block with, Zheng Tongtong's Rhythm was slower at first, but as he adapted, the Rhythm became faster and faster. For a time, Blade flash flew in the field, and the sound of impact was continuous.
Soon he discovered that the difficulty of blocking was extremely high, because he not only had to perform Internal energy changes, but also had to increase the Speed. Often, just as he had neutralized the heavy knife, the light sword would slash up with a swoosh, or he would barely block the light sword, but he would be busy changing Internal energy to resist the next heavy slash.
He needed to rationally change Rhythm between two different coping methods and react quickly and in time, especially since he was standing still and unable to dodge, which made it even more difficult.

This time, it took him two days to adapt.
On the third day, Teacher Zheng called him over and taught him that set of Breathing Technique for adjusting and changing Internal energy.
And told him that next he would hit Rhythm with his palm from the side, and every time he hit, Chen Chuan had to use the method of dealing with heavy knives to deal with the light sword, and use the method of dealing with the light sword to deal with heavy knives, and when he stopped hitting, he needed to change back to the normal method, and there could not be a trace of confusion in the middle.
As for the collision caused by the reverse application of Strength, there was no need to worry, because Zheng Tongtong would change Internal energy one step ahead. If the method he used was correct, then there would be no problem.
In fact, it was okay to simply deal with the changes in the knife slash, but when this needed to be coordinated with Teacher Zheng's palm strikes, it was very difficult, because it would destroy his Rhythm.
The sound of palm strikes was sometimes rapid, sometimes slow, sometimes only tapping intermittently, sometimes suddenly continuous, and constantly changing, and it was specially issued when he was changing breathing, and if he was not careful, it would be easy to mess up everything.
But even so, Zheng Tongtong didn't make a single mistake, and her breathing could change at any time, which was very powerful. She must have been very familiar with this kind of change.
After another two days, Chen Chuan finally grasped the trick in this Breathing Technique and gradually was able to keep up with the changes in the beat.
However, this was just the beginning. Teacher Zheng then changed the method again, telling him that when he hit the table with his fist, he needed to support it with the method of receiving a heavy knife, and when he hit it with his palm, he needed to support it with the method of receiving a light sword.
Under this changing and repetitive training, Chen Chuan's defensive Skills were constantly improving, but this was just the basics, because at this time, all the attacks were just flat slashes.
So on the sixth day, Teacher Zheng asked Zheng Tongtong to add changes in Internal energy to the knife.
This was actually more difficult than dealing with heavy knives and light swords, because before contact, it was impossible to judge what the Internal energy on it was like. He could only change it at the moment of contact, and Zheng Tongtong's double knives were flying back and forth, and the knife moves were also constantly changing, which extremely tested his coping ability.
This time, it took a full three days to barely keep up.
Seeing that he was able to adapt and the time it took was not long, Teacher Zheng was quite satisfied and said, "You have made rapid progress. Your defensive Skills have been initially mastered. This month's training will end here. Next month, the next stage will begin. I will teach you how to attack."
Chen Chuan nodded. In recent days, although he felt that his entire Mutated Tissue was sore and tight every day after returning, the feeling of growing every day was very good and very fulfilling.
He only experienced this feeling of continuous progress when he first started learning Martial Arts from Yu Gang. It was truly a long time coming.
Among them, in addition to Teacher Zheng teaching carefully, Zheng Tongtong, as a sparring partner, really seriously did every step well. This kind of good sparring partner is really rare.
He sincerely thanked them: "Thank you Teacher Zheng, thank you Senior Zheng."
Teacher Zheng said with a smile, "No need to thank you. If the student learns well, I, as a teacher, will also teach smoothly. You can usually think about it more. What teacher teaches you is just teaching you. It is your own if you understand it yourself."
Chen Chuan said okay. After he said goodbye to Teacher Zheng and his daughter, he came out of Teacher Zheng's house. When he arrived at the station, before he could get on the tram, the Processing Bureau sent a message on Boundary Token.
This was to inform him that the Radiant Light Irradiation period was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, allowing him to choose a time and the Processing Bureau would arrange it for him.
He thought for a while. The day after tomorrow was Holiday, so he decided to set it for tomorrow, so he quickly confirmed the time and submitted it directly through Boundary Token.
Just five minutes later, another voice message was transmitted, showing the source as Sea Dragon Company. After connecting, a voice rang in his ears:
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Yin Fang, the assistant of Section Chief Sun of Sea Dragon Company. We have received a Radiant Light Irradiation application from Processing Bureau, which has your name on it. According to Section Chief Sun's instructions, we will give you three more hours of quota each month. The physical receipt has been sent, please pay attention to check it."
