Atlas of Heaven and Man

Since Chen Chuan agreed, the matter was settled. Cheng Shang gestured towards the cup of tea in front of Chen Chuan, "Have a taste."

Chen Chuan had already noticed that the tea was amber in color, clear and bright. He picked it up and took a sip, the warm and smooth taste quickly filling his mouth.

After drinking it, he immediately felt a comfortable warmth throughout his body, and a lingering, sweet fragrance lingered between his teeth and cheeks, refreshing his mind.

Cheng Shang also picked up his cup and took a sip, slowly saying, "If you like it, you can take a packet back with you later. It's helpful for nourishing the body."

Chen Chuan heard his words, as if implying that he often took medicine. He didn't explain, and said, "Then this junior will not be polite." He then asked Ni Qianqian, "Sister Ni, when is this exchange competition going to be held?"

Ni Qianqian said, "The time is tentatively set for the next rest day, taking up one day of your time. Of course, we won't just be looking for you alone. We'll be looking for many students to learn from each other, but that will be arranged at another time and won't conflict with you. I'll pick you up then."

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, then I'll be waiting."

Ni Qianqian then said, "Brother Chen, I have to tell you in advance. Don't underestimate them just because they're not from the academy. Their fundamentals are very solid. Everything the academy can teach, they also learn, and more."

Cheng Shang said, "Times have changed. Young people are getting more and more amazing. I have to admit that our generation was not as good as them at their age.

In fact, one generation should surpass the previous one. We didn't have as many resources when we were young, and we had to worry about other things. Now they only need to focus on practicing combat, so it's only natural that they surpass us from that time.

But we had hardships and setbacks that they haven't experienced. Although we didn't want to encounter them, we had to endure them. But now that I think about it, it's still our wealth. Perhaps it's just my old brain thinking that these young people still need to go through some tempering before they can truly become successful.

So this time, you don't need to give me face. Show your true skills and give them a little taste of hardship. If you want their information, I can give it to you, because only by winning against them can they truly recognize themselves, otherwise they will suffer a great loss in the future."

Ni Qianqian said, "Old man, is it really okay to trick the younger generation like this?"

Cheng Shang slowly said, "If I trick them, they will still have a chance to get it back. If they are tricked by outsiders, they might lose their lives in one go."

Chen Chuan said, "Elder Cheng, I won't underestimate any opponent. I don't need their information, otherwise it won't be an exchange, but a performance." Knowing the information and not knowing it are two completely different things. Having a targeted arrangement in advance would give a great advantage.

Seeing that he didn't want it, Cheng Shang didn't force him and said leisurely, "Young man, this is just a competition, so it is impossible for you to take medicine. Don't underestimate your opponents, those juniors are really excellent. Also…"

He looked over, "Find a way to enter the Third Threshold as soon as possible. Only then will you be able to clearly see what kind of path you should take." After saying that, he slowly closed the lid of his teacup.

Ni Qianqian stood up, "Brother Chen, we should go."

Chen Chuan stood up and said, "Elder Cheng, goodbye."

Cheng Shang waved his hand.

Chen Chuan bowed to him and left with Ni Qianqian.

After the two of them had walked away, a middle-aged man walked over, looking in the direction Chen Chuan had left. "Senior Uncle, is that the young man just now, the disciple that Senior Brother Cheng always praises?"

Cheng Shang said, "Does that matter? You guys should think about how to win."

The middle-aged man looked at Cheng Shang in surprise, "Senior Uncle, you think so highly of that young man just now? I just watched too. Judging from the rhythm of his body movements, he might be able to rank in the middle? But to say that he can beat Liu Yin and the others, isn't that a bit of a stretch?"

Cheng Shang said, "That's right, Liu Yin and the others have been taught combat hand-in-hand since they were young. They have a solid foundation, and every step of their growth has ample resources to cultivate them. This young man can't compare.

But the difference is that this young man has truly fought his way up. How many times have Liu Yin and the others gone out to fight? Do they count fighting with gang members as fighting? This young man has risked his life all the way up. If he takes a step back and fails once, he will die. Do Liu Yin and the others have this determination to be reborn from the ashes?"

The middle-aged man's smile faded slightly, and he said thoughtfully, "Old man, you have such a high opinion of this young man. It seems I have to go back and remind them to be more careful."

Cheng Shang shook his head and said, "It's useless to say it now, they won't listen. They will only have a deep impression after a fight."

On the other side, Ni Qianqian sent Chen Chuan back to the Xuangong Building. After he returned to his dormitory, he took out the precious balm he had obtained from Cao Guiqi.

In fact, the Bureau had also sent him a copy before, so he had three copies in hand.

He took out a box of the precious balm and opened it. Inside, black and cyan medicinal balms were arranged side by side. According to the method of taking the medicine, the cyan balm needed to be used first.

This medicinal balm can be absorbed by the body through direct oral administration, as well as through breathing. Fighters who have mastered the skin breathing method can also directly apply it to the skin to improve absorption efficiency.

He first mixed three spoons with water and drank it, and then evenly applied the remainder to the surface of his skin.

At first, he couldn't feel it, but after a while, with the cooperation of the breathing method, the medicinal effect gradually began to take effect. He found that these precious balms that entered the body were like living things, actively attaching themselves to those alienated tissues, and forming a layer of film attached to them.

Because the internal organs are relatively soft, unlike muscles, bones, and tendons that are routinely used to exert force, they usually cannot be exercised with direct and simple training methods. They can only be strengthened by improving cardiopulmonary function through effective exercise, promoting blood circulation, providing more oxygen and nutrients, or by kneading and massaging with various breathing methods and unique force postures.

But this kind of exercise only reaches the surface, while this kind of precious balm can directly stimulate the internal organs and the alienated tissues on them, causing them to urgently need various nutrients, turning the original passivity into active growth.

After this step is completed, the second type of black balm can be taken, which contains enough nutrients for its growth.

Moreover, the cyan balm also has a function. Before this film disappears, it can enhance the toughness of the internal organs and their alienated tissues, allowing fighters to perform super-limited training in a short period of time, allowing fighters to use semi-harmful breathing methods that they would not normally dare to do, thereby further deepening the stimulation of the internal organs and facilitating the subsequent absorption of the black balm.

In order to achieve this effect, Chen Chuan, after guiding the cyan balm into his body, began to practice Zheng San Shou in place, and released the restraint on the alienated tissues, allowing them to all become active.

Although various emotions surged into his heart wave after wave, his evolving moves were not chaotic at all. Instead, some inspirations that he usually couldn't think of constantly came to him.

Regarding the use of Zheng San Shou, he now has his own understanding. On the surface, it looks similar to the original Zheng San Shou, but in fact, the force and subtle places are completely different.

This is very normal, because Zheng San Shou is like the most basic foundation. As his strength increases, he needs to build and expand on it himself.

After slowly finishing ten rounds of Zheng San Shou, he felt hot all over, knowing that the medicinal effect had begun to work. So he picked up the Xue Jun saber again and began to train his saber techniques, using as much force as possible in each move, slashing and exerting force again and again.

A dose of the medicinal effect is enough to last for half a day to a day, and it will continue to nourish and strengthen the internal organs for about ten days. He felt that the effect of this medicinal balm should be better when used together with Yaoguang irradiation.

It's just that ordinary people probably need a few days of growth and recovery time under Yaoguang irradiation, so they can only choose to stagger the time. He thought that he might be able to try it next time.

Moreover, the effect of the cyan balm can also significantly improve combat power when used in battle. It's just that people like Cao Guiqi can only get a small share of this medicine every month, which shows how scarce it is.

He had also checked in the academy, and it seemed that there were similar medicines, but this year's share had already been distributed at the beginning of the year, and one dose cost more than ten thousand yuan. He didn't have the financial resources to consume it, so he could only find a way from the Bureau.

According to Ni Qianqian's statement, in addition to his own share, it is possible to obtain an extra share through internal competition. Since there is an opportunity, he must try his best to fight for it.

From afternoon to evening, he kept practicing his moves and force, until after nine o'clock, he completely dissolved the abundant medicinal power. This way, he could do it again in ten days, and perhaps he could try to arrange Yaoguang irradiation that time. Although the Sea Realm Arena doesn't allow too many things to be brought in, he can take medicine in advance.

At this time, he remembered what Cheng Shang had said to him during the day, and couldn't help but turn his thoughts. What will he come into contact with when he reaches the Third Threshold?

But no matter what, that is something that needs to be considered later. First, do what you can do in front of you. Although it is said to be as soon as possible, you can't be chaotic. It is safer to take steady steps than to run in a hurry.

After thinking about it, he left the training room, washed up, and rested on time.

The next day, he continued to return to Teacher Zheng's place to receive training.

After the heavy saber, it was the use of the light saber, which was mainly to force Zheng Tongtong back with speed. This time, it took him almost the same three days to do it. Then, it was dual-wielding light and heavy sabers, which was a bit difficult.

Zheng Tongtong relied on superb force skills to handle two different sabers. He spent two days just getting them into the right position, and then three days before he successfully forced Zheng Tongtong back.

On the ninth day, Teacher Zheng didn't let him change sabers again, nor did he tell him about the next stage. Instead, he casually took a saber and stood on the field.

He said, "Student Chen, offense and defense are not strictly separated. Now I will teach you something new. In order to make it easier for you to experience and remember, no matter what method you use, attack me with all your strength."
