Atlas of Heaven and Man

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

He opened the materials the teacher had sent. It was a technique called "Empty Practice." According to the introduction, this technique consisted of several specific static stances, combined with internal and external stimulation from drugs to cultivate.

This didn't seem unusual. Most martial arts' foundations were like this. But there was a note later saying that once you learned this technique, learning any combat skill in the future would be twice as effective.

It wasn't just an introduction, but also gave an example of a static stance, saying 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, then stretched forward with all its might, while the hands were also bent upwards along the body.

How to say 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 technique, which had some interesting points.

According to this Teacher Wu, after practicing this Empty Practice technique, it could stimulate one's nerves and brain, thereby promoting the growth of ectopic tissues there, so that the fighter could experience some of the benefits of the third limit in the second limit, and the learning speed could also be accelerated as a result.

Seeing this, he immediately lost interest.

What he needed was a solid foundation and overall progress, not this kind of forced, leapfrog improvement. Even if this kind of thing didn't count as overdrafting the future in advance, it wasn't what he needed.

However, even though he didn't need such a technique, it might not be the same for others. If it was really useful, there was no reason for it to have such a low rating.

So he tried to search again, and immediately understood. The so-called three hundred students of this Teacher Wu were not all students of the Wuyi Academy.

Just like there were many martial arts gyms in Yangzhi City that accepted students, it was the same in the central city. There were also a large number of people learning combat skills here.

It was just that the Xuangong Building mainly trained internal students, and only provided a template-style course for the outside world, targeting security personnel from various companies, as well as the upper and middle classes, while the lower-level demand for combat skills was occupied by these martial arts gyms.

In addition to these two, there were also private tutors. People with a little wealth hired combat instructors for private lessons, or collective training in small groups.

Many of Teacher Wu's students came from this source. Although there were many evaluations from these students, their value was not comparable to that of Wuyi students. The more evaluations, the more likely it was to lower his level.

Because for recommended students, they would not consider learning the same techniques as lower-level personnel. They had more and better choices.

Most ordinary people also found it difficult to practice anything significant. After all, most people didn't receive training from a young age, and could hardly cultivate ectopic tissues.

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 something that couldn't be helped. The upper limit of ordinary people was there. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't beat someone with an implant. Even training hard for a few years was no match for someone simply getting an injection.

After considering it, Chen Chuan politely replied to Teacher Wu, saying that he had carefully considered it and felt that this technique was not suitable for him, thanking the teacher.

After leaving a message, he went out and, guided by the Realm Token, found a telegraph station in the building and sent a telegram to He Xiaoxing, asking if there was a matching method of use for the Blast Furnace Breathing Technique, and if so, whether he could learn it.

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

This thing needed to be touched directly to produce an invasive effect. Although this made cultivation a little troublesome, he felt it was better. He hadn't forgotten that this thing also had an effect on the Realm Token, which might have impacted the biological field. If this effect overflowed, he might not be able to bring it into the academy at all.

At this moment, in a narrow, dark room with the curtains drawn tightly, Teacher Wu was lying motionless on the sofa. At this time, a reply appeared on the Realm Token. He immediately got up to look at it, but after reading it, his expression changed, and he said with a ferocious look: "You refuse, you actually refuse?!"

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

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

What was better in the central city than in Yangzhi City was that he didn't have to rely on the radio. With just a Realm Token, he could see what was happening in various parts of the central city, although public news was usually filtered to some extent.

However, Wu Bei gave him an edge channel, through which he could see things in every corner of the city, which greatly broadened his horizons.

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

Teacher Wu said: "No, I'm not here for this. I just want to talk to you face to face. There are some things you should know." He said earnestly: "I promise, no matter what the result, I will never bother you again, Student Chen. Do you think that's okay?"

Chen Chuan thought for a moment, "Now?"

Teacher Wu said: "If it's convenient for you, you can come to the Jinwei Beverage Shop in the southeast direction opposite the Xuangong Building now. I'll be waiting for you there."

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

He changed his clothes, left the room, took the elevator downstairs, and followed the route guidance of the Realm Token directly to this beverage shop. At this time, there weren't 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. He was less than forty years old. The clothes on his body were clean and tidy, but compared with the people around him, the style felt a bit outdated. Judging from his eyes, this was a person who seemed very gentle.

He walked towards there. Teacher Wu took the initiative to stand up, reached out and shook his hand, smiling and saying: "Hello, Student Chen, please sit down. The hot di beverage here is good. I often come here to drink it. You should try it."

In person, his voice was more magnetic than in the Realm Token, and it was very comfortable to listen to.

After Chen Chuan shook hands with him and greeted him, he sat down. After chatting for a few simple sentences, he asked: "Teacher Wu, I wonder what matters you need to tell the student?"

Teacher Wu said with a smile: "Student Chen, it seems that you are a person who values efficiency, so I won't waste your time." His expression became more serious, "Student Chen, how much do you know about the main academy? In recent years, the Wuyi Academy has been changing its internal management methods. Do you know about this?"

"Changing internal management methods?"

Teacher Wu nodded, "It seems that you don't know. Let me briefly explain. Three years ago, after Vice President 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 encourage students to participate in the arena competitions organized by the academy."

Chen Chuan raised an eyebrow and said: "Arena competitions? Will the student council agree?"

You must know that most of the main academy students are recommended students, who have backgrounds and wealth, and those who can enter the main academy must be first-class students from the branch academies, who are trained as managers and law enforcers. How could they go on stage and compete with others?

Teacher Wu said: "Of course, the original students were impossible, so Vice President Tan probably selected a group of talented and gifted students from various martial arts gyms three years ago, and admitted that they were external students of Wuyi, and let them participate in the arena martial arts competitions promoted and organized by various academies."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said: "I remember that there were originally arena competitions nationwide, and the way out for many second-class students in the branch academies was in this area. This doesn't seem to be anything special."

Teacher Wu shook his head and said: "It's different. Those are only outside the central city, and have almost no influence on the central city. The unique thing about this arena competition now is..."

He paused and slowly said: "Every student who participates in the arena competition will be implanted with implants produced by various companies in advance, so this has received the support of various companies, and the citizens are also very welcome."

Hearing this, Chen Chuan already understood in his heart.

The arena competition of implant fighters was different from the arena competitions outside the central city, and had great appeal to ordinary people.

Moreover, this not only advertised the products of various companies, but also used the students' bodies to experiment with the products of large companies.

Perhaps after this trend rises, other arena competitions in the future will also add implants one after another, which is definitely what various companies are happy to see.

After thinking about it, he asked: "Teacher Wu, why did you specifically tell the student these things?" Since it was a matter of external students, it didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

Teacher Wu said solemnly: "I'm telling you this because this matter may affect you."

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

Teacher Wu looked at him and slowly said: "You should be clear that you are a rare commoner student in recent years, not the kind of recommended student, but you happen to be a formal student of the main academy, and you don't have any background behind you. If you are implanted with an implant to go to the arena, wouldn't it be more attractive than those students who came from halfway?"
