Atlas of Heaven and Man

Despite some questions in his mind, Chen Chuan didn't dwell on irrelevant thoughts when facing a battle. He immediately cleared his head and quickly entered a combat state.

He practiced the Zhou Yuan Force Method, which might not have had any particular characteristics or strengths at the beginning, but as his foundation continued to strengthen, the benefits brought by the growth of various alienized tissues throughout his body gradually became apparent.

He could utilize more alienized tissues than others to transmit force, enhance physical functions, and supply energy. The combination of these advantages was not a simple addition, but a qualitative leap.

Now, even without his second self, he was confident in defeating those of his past peers.

After his first blade was blocked, Hong Fu's second blade arrived, slightly faster than before, and she also arrived at the peak where Chen Chuan was standing. After Chen Chuan blocked the second blade, the sharp third blade followed, its speed even faster than before.

Chen Chuan could clearly feel that it wasn't just the speed; the power displayed on Hong Fu's blade was also constantly adjusting and increasing based on his performance.

This forced him to simply parry, and the counter-attack moves he had planned were useless.

After a mere dozen or so strikes, he felt himself pushed to his limit. Hong Fu seemed to notice this change and stabilized at that level, beginning purely intricate changes in her blade techniques.

If the previous attacks were just testing his physical fitness, the next was to test his swordsmanship skills.

And skill had always been his weakness. With almost identical physical conditions, there was no way he could beat this collective consciousness.

If there were no surprises, he would probably be defeated within a few moves, and then the test would end.

However, he didn't give up.

Perhaps his swordsmanship skills weren't great, but whenever he fought someone or encountered a strong enemy, he could always find a way to cope.

And at this moment, he discovered a flaw in Hong Fu, though not really a flaw.

Perhaps to better test him, Hong Fu wouldn't use power and speed beyond his own, but if he had new improvements, she would follow suit, but this improvement had a brief process.

As soon as his foot touched the peak, before his legs could stabilize, force had already risen from the tips of his toes and was transmitted to his arm in an instant. With a twist of his wrist, a blade had already been slashed out.

As expected, Hong Fu followed closely, and seeing his blade slashing over, she spun in mid-air, her red sleeves fluttering, not only dodging lightly but also using the Wild Goose Wing Saber in her hand to deflect Xue Jun's blade.

As soon as she touched it, she could borrow strength. Whether she leaped away or continued to lunge forward depended on her choice.

Chen Chuan's eyes flashed, and the internal alienized tissues squeezed and twisted, increasing his power again. This slash seemed to condense all his strength, and in mid-air, it forcibly twisted its direction, veering to the side. This slight change caused Hong Fu's blade to fail to borrow strength, only brushing past the shadow of the blade.

But in an instant, Hong Fu's own level also increased following his blade's improvement. At the same time, with a wave of her long sleeves, she wrapped them around the blade.

Chen Chuan had deliberately used the rules to gain such an advantage, so how could he let her easily reverse it? He swung his long blade again. This time, the burning emotions in his heart burst forth, as if he had completely let go of himself, and the alienized tissues throughout his body were actively cheering. His speed and power suddenly increased, and the blade returned, easily piercing through the entanglement of red shadows and slashing down on Hong Fu's head!

With a clang, Hong Fu blocked the blade in the nick of time, but the power on it had increased by more than one level. Although she borrowed a little strength, it was not enough to support her continuing to the top of the mountain, and instead, she was slashed away from it.

Chen Chuan didn't end there, and two more blades quickly slashed out. After Hong Fu received these two attacks, she was further away from the peak.

At this moment, her feet were suspended in the air, unable to borrow strength, and Chen Chuan's last blade had instead reduced a little force, making it impossible for her to jump back to the original peak. So after blocking the last blade, Hong Fu looked at him with her lively eyes, and her whole person fell towards the sea of clouds below.

Chen Chuan held his blade in one hand, standing steadily on the peak surrounded by the sea of clouds, half of his body bathed in the golden light.

He knew that after using these few moves, Hong Fu might be able to perceive his physical potential more clearly, making the data recording of himself more complete.

But that didn't matter.

This was a victory achieved purely by using his body, without overlapping with his second self, and he felt very happy.

Although there were no conditions to calculate it now, he could feel that he was getting closer to the road to twenty-four-hour overlap.

At this moment, the surrounding clouds suddenly dissipated, and the golden light suddenly disappeared. He was still standing in the training ground, and Hong Fu reappeared in front of him. A formulaic voice sounded in his ear:

"Trainee Chen Chuan, strength performance: above average; speed performance: average; skill performance: below average; combat response: above average; combat decision-making: outstanding."

"Comprehensive evaluation score: 72 points."

"Potential assessment: excellent."

"Trainee Chen Chuan, based on your performance, relevant learning courses and directories will be recommended to you. You can find corresponding courses and academy mentors based on the relevant introduction. In terms of mentor selection, you can also get recommendations authorized by the academy."

"You can take the second evaluation in ten days. There are three evaluation opportunities during enrollment. Please make good use of the opportunities."

Chen Chuan looked at Hong Fu in front of him and solemnly saluted with his blade.

Hong Fu stared at him, also raised her hand, saluted him with her blade, and then with a spin, disappeared without a trace in the fluttering of her red clothes.

Seeing her disappear, Chen Chuan couldn't help but ponder for a moment. Was it really an illusion after all?

He raised his blade. The collisions on the blade were real and undeniable. How was this done?

He pondered for a moment. According to the previous introduction he saw, Hong Fu could exhibit that degree of indistinguishability between reality and illusion, perhaps by using the power of the bio-field.

As the biological consciousness of the main academy, Hong Fu could be responsible for testing each student, and this might also include academy teachers. The level she could reach might be higher than imagined, so under normal circumstances, it was almost impossible to win against Hong Fu. This time, he had taken a trick.

Of course, more importantly, it was that Hong Fu was willing to abide by the rules she had set, or rather, she herself was bound by the rules, so making good use of the rules was sometimes very useful.

After turning his thoughts, he asked, "Hong Fu, does the academy decide on courses based on my score?"

The voice said, "Yes, the academy determines the level of students through their performance and scores, and recommends corresponding courses and training plans."

"So everyone is different?"

"Yes."

Chen Chuan nodded. This was understandable. This way, more professional guidance could be given to each person differently. The level of the main academy was indeed higher.

He said, "I want to see the academy's recommendations."

"Based on trainee Chen Chuan's combat performance, the academy recommends the following courses and training:

"One, Swordsmanship Skills Course. This course is used to improve the student's fighting skills. Students can choose the teacher of the relevant course by themselves, or they can be assigned through platform recommendations."

"Note: Given that the student's score in this project is below average, this course is a mandatory study category and has been included in the assessment category."

"Two, Strength Training Course. It is recommended that students choose efficient breathing methods and corresponding force methods to improve your power release and utilization efficiency. This is a non-mandatory study course. Please judge for yourself."

"Three, according to a comprehensive assessment, the success rate of trainee Chen Chuan reaching the third limit is 35%, so the academy proposes the following suggestions:

"Light-assisted training. This training can have a strong strengthening effect on bones, fascia and other alienized tissues, and at the same time, you can take drugs to maintain a strong body."

"Remark 1: If the student replaces it with implants such as 'strengthening bone surgery, implanting and transforming the muscles, enhancing the nervous system, and transplanting the endocrine system', this suggestion can be ignored."

"Remark 2: If the student has a directed training plan, except for mandatory assessment courses, the rest can be selected for autonomous training."

Chen Chuan looked at them one by one and felt that these suggestions were really useful. Although this was a conclusion drawn without using the second self, if he could strengthen his body, the second self could also be improved, so it was very valuable.

He paid special attention to the first course that needed to be completed. Skill was indeed his weakness. There was no way around it. He had been learning to fight for a short time and was not like other students who had been training since childhood.

The opponents he had encountered before mainly used strength and speed to crush, trying to avoid using skills, but now that he was here, it seemed that he had to make up for it, and since this was listed as a compulsory test item, then a part of the focus would be placed here.

He tried to search for teachers related to this aspect, and the interface listed more than a dozen people, each with a teaching score below, but...

All of these courses had to be purchased, and the more excellent the teacher, the higher the fee.

There were two types here: general courses and intensive courses. General courses were taught by one teacher to multiple students; and intensive courses could hire a mentor for detailed one-on-one explanations, just like Yang Zhi Wuyi's guidance teacher, but in the main academy, teachers also had teaching evaluations, so there was no need to be afraid of being fooled.

He saw that some teachers with high scores were already fully booked, obviously very popular.

These teachers were still on vacation, so he didn't make a choice immediately and prepared to take a closer look later.

As for the academy's second suggestion, choose efficient breathing methods and corresponding force methods to improve power release and utilization efficiency. In fact, he already had it, which was the Furnace Breathing Method, but he didn't use it just now.

He Xiao Xing told him that this was one of the achievements of the Pure Sect and was used to fight against other sects' secret methods.

If that was the case, the value of the Furnace Breathing Method might be higher than imagined.

Since he already had this aspect and it was not mandatory, then he could temporarily ignore it.

As for whether the Furnace Breathing Method had corresponding force techniques, he might try sending a telegram to ask.
