Atlas of Heaven and Earth

After the call, Chen Chuan recalled the platform's evaluation of this teacher. Although it wasn't very high, it wasn't too low either, just mediocre.

He opened and looked at the materials the other party sent over. It was a Skill called "empty training." According to the introduction, this Skill was cultivated through a combination of several specific static stances, along with internal and external stimulation from Drugs.

This didn't seem strange. Most Martial Arts were based on this. But there was also a note that as long as you learned this Skill, learning any combat Skills in the future would be twice as effective.

The materials not only included the introduction but also gave an example of a static stance, saying that it was for students who wanted to understand it to experience it first.

Chen Chuan looked at it. It was a very strange posture. One foot was placed behind the other, the body bent downwards and backwards, and then stretched forward as much as possible, while both hands were bent upwards along the body.

How should he put it? The whole person seemed to be twisted into a spiral, but it didn't look like a normal person could do it.

He then looked at the theory behind this Skill, which was somewhat interesting.

According to this Instructor Wu, after cultivating this Empty Practice Technique, it could stimulate one's nerves and brain, thereby promoting the growth of Mutated Tissue there, so that a Martial Artist could experience some of the benefits of the Third Limit during the Second Limit, and learning Speed could also be accelerated as a result.

Seeing this, he immediately lost interest.

It's just that such Skills, while he didn't need them, might not be the same for others. If it were really useful, there was no reason for such a low evaluation.

So he tried to inquire again and immediately understood. This Instructor Wu's so-called three hundred students were not all Wuyi Academy students.

Just as there were many martial arts gyms in Yangzhi City that accepted students, the same was true in Central City, where a large number of people also learned Martial Arts.

It's just that Mysterious Palace Tower mainly cultivated internal students, and only provided a template course for the outside world, targeting security personnel from various Companies and the upper-middle class, while the lower-level Martial Arts demand was occupied by these martial arts gyms.

In addition to these two, there were also private tutors. People with a little wealth hired Martial Combat teachers for private lessons or small group training.

Many of Instructor Wu's students came from this source. Although these students had a lot of evaluations, the quality was not comparable to that of Wuyi Academy students. The more evaluations, the more likely it was to lower his level.

Because for recommended students, they would never consider learning the same Skills as those from the lower levels; they had more and better choices.

Most ordinary people did find it difficult to cultivate anything, after all, the vast majority of people were not trained from childhood and could hardly cultivate Mutated Tissue.

These people were also very practical. Usually, after studying for a few years, they would choose to implant a second-hand or third-hand Implant, and then they would have preliminary combat power.

This was also inevitable. The upper limit of ordinary people was there, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not beat someone with an Implant. Some people couldn't even compare to others who simply injected a dose of medicine after years of hard training.

After Chen Chuan considered it, he politely replied to Instructor Wu, saying that he had carefully considered it and felt that this Skill was not suitable for him, and thanked the teacher.

After leaving the message, he went out and, guided by the Boundary Token, found a Telegram station in the Building, sent a Telegram to He Xiaoxing, asking if the Furnace Breathing Technique had a matching way to use it, and if so, whether he could learn it.

Then he returned to his dormitory, picked up the upper jawbone on the desk, sat down on the cushion, placed the thing aside, pressed his hand on it, and began to cultivate the Furnace Breathing Technique.

This thing needed to be touched directly to have an invasive effect. Although it was a little troublesome to cultivate like this, he felt that it was better. He hadn't forgotten that this thing also had an Influence on the Boundary Token, which might have impacted the Biological Field. If this Influence overflowed, he might not be able to bring it into the Academy at all.

At this moment, in a narrow and dark room, the curtains were tightly drawn. Instructor Wu was lying motionless on the sofa. Then a reply appeared on the Boundary Token. He immediately got up to look at it, but his expression changed after reading it, and he said with a grimace: "You refused? You actually refused?!"

After this suppressed roar, his expression quickly calmed down again, and he said expressionlessly: "You shouldn't have refused me."

In the evening, after Chen Chuan finished a day of cultivation, he washed up and began to browse the news.

What was better in Central City than in Yangzhi City was that he didn't have to rely on the radio. He could see what was happening in various places in Central City with just a Boundary Token, although public news was usually filtered to a certain extent.

However, Wu Bei gave him a Marginal Channel, through which he could see things in every corner of the city, which greatly broadened his horizons.

While he was browsing, suddenly a contact icon flashed. It was a swaying willow tree, and a scholar was sitting on the riverbank facing the river, with a scroll of scriptures spread out on the desk in front of him.

It was that Instructor Wu.

He turned his thoughts and chose to connect, asking, "Is this Instructor Wu? What can I do for you?"

Instructor Wu's slightly low voice came out, "Student Chen, I want to talk to you about learning."

Chen Chuan said frankly, "Instructor Wu, thank you for your appreciation, but the student has his own considerations and does not need to learn the Skills that teacher recommends for the time being. Thank you, teacher."

Instructor Wu said, "No, I'm not here for this. I just want to talk to you in person. There are some things you should know." He said earnestly, "I promise, no matter what the result is, I won't bother you again in the future, student Chen, is that okay?"

Chen Chuan thought for a while, "Now?"

Instructor Wu said, "If it's convenient for you, you can come to Jinwei Beverage Shop in the southeast direction opposite Mysterious Palace Tower now. I'll be waiting for you there."

Chen Chuan found this place on the Boundary Token. It was only one kilometer away from the Academy and wouldn't take long to get there, so he said, "Okay, I'll be there in a while."

He changed his clothes, came out of the room, took the elevator downstairs, and followed the route guidance of the Boundary Token to come directly to this beverage shop. At this time, there were not many customers. He glanced around and found a man sitting in a seat looking at him.

This was a man with a melancholy look in his eyes and deep forehead wrinkles, not yet forty years old. His clothes were clean and tidy, but compared to the people around him, the style felt a bit outdated. From the look in his eyes, he seemed to be a very gentle person.

He walked towards him. Instructor Wu took the initiative to stand up, reached out and shook his hand, smiling and said, "Hello, student Chen, please sit down. The hot ground drinks here are good, I often come to drink them, you should try them."

In person, his voice was more magnetic than in the Boundary Token, and it sounded very comfortable.

After Chen Chuan shook hands with him and greeted him, he sat down. After a brief chat, he asked, "Instructor Wu, I don't know what matters you need to discuss with me?"

Instructor Wu smiled and said, "Student Chen, it seems you are a person who values efficiency, then I won't waste your time." His expression became more serious, "Student Chen, how much do you know about the Main Academy? Do you know that Wuyi Academy has been changing its internal management methods in recent years?"

"Changing internal management methods?"

Instructor Wu nodded, "It seems you don't know. Let me briefly explain. Three years ago, after Vice-Principal Tan took office, he began to actively promote this matter in response to some legacy issues in the Academy. Currently, he is trying to create star students and actively encourages students to participate in the Arena tournament organized by the Academy."

Chen Chuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Arena tournament? Will the students agree?"

You should know that most of the students in the Main Academy are recommended students, with backgrounds and wealth, and those who can enter the Main Academy must be A-grade students from the branch academies, who are trained as managers and law enforcers. How could they go on stage and compete with others?

Instructor Wu said, "Of course the original students are impossible, so Vice-Principal Tan probably selected a group of talented and gifted students from major martial arts gyms about three years ago, and recognized them as Wuyi's external students, who would participate in the Arena martial arts competitions promoted and organized by various academies."

Chen Chuan thought for a while and said, "I remember that the Arena tournament originally existed nationwide, and the outlet for many B-grade students from various branches lies in this, which doesn't seem to be anything special."

Instructor Wu shook his head and said, "It's different. Those are only outside Central City and have almost no influence on Central City. The unique thing about this Arena tournament now is..."

He paused and said slowly, "Every student participating in the Arena tournament will be implanted with Implants produced by various large companies in advance, so this has the support of various large companies, and the citizens are also very welcome."

Chen Chuan understood in his heart after hearing this.

The Arena competition of Implant Martial Artists is different from the Arena tournament outside Central City and is very attractive to ordinary people.

Moreover, this is not only advertising for the products of various large companies but also using the students' bodies to experiment with the products of large companies.

Perhaps after this trend catches on, other Arena tournaments in other places will also add Implants one after another, which is definitely something that various large companies are happy to see.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Why did Instructor Wu specifically tell the student these things?" Since it was about external students, it didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

Instructor Wu said solemnly, "I'm telling you this because this matter may affect you."

Chen Chuan raised an eyebrow: "Affect the student?"

Instructor Wu looked at him and said slowly, "You should be clear that you are a rare commoner student in recent years, not a recommended student, but you happen to be a formal student of the Main Academy, and you don't have any background. If you were to be implanted with an Implant to fight in the arena, wouldn't it be more attractive than those half-way students?"
