Atlas of Heaven and Man

#345 - The third limit

Chen Chuan felt that as this heat spread, the mutated tissues within his body seemed to break through a shackle, becoming active and continuously generating essence from within.

This essence seemed to have been hidden within his body, existing within all the mutated tissues, but he had never been able to sense it. Only now, as he crossed that boundary, did he release it and make it his own.

With each breath, this essence grew stronger, and he felt it continuously strengthening the areas the heat had passed through.

At the same time, he felt that force extending upwards from behind his spine, passing from the occipital bone upwards, over the crown of his head, and finally sinking into the space between his eyebrows, permeating inwards.

With a bang, it was as if some restriction had been opened. At this moment, it was like the instant he first entered the Central City and put on the Boundary Permit, countless lights, shadows, and sounds returned before his eyes.

The difference was that he felt his spirit constantly rising, as if detaching from his body. He saw an infinitely vast vortex appear in the sky, seemingly containing many unclear and indistinguishable things.

The various chaotic and indiscernible sounds and lights surrounded him, seemingly trying to desperately squeeze into his spirit, but he was not affected by them. Instead, he calmly maintained his self, without any emotional changes.

This was something Cao Guixi had warned him about. After breaking through the Third Limit using the old method, no matter what strange phenomena he saw, he should ignore them and try his best to guard his mind.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, it was only a few breaths. All the movements and disturbances disappeared together, and everything around him returned to normal. Only at this moment, a bright light seemed to flash across the depths of his dark eyes.

He bathed in the dazzling sunlight shining down from above, feeling the abundant power within his body, and understood that at this moment, he had truly entered the Third Limit.

At this moment, inside the arena, the entire audience was watching the scene on the giant screen in shock.

In the entire picture, only Chen Chuan stood there steadily, facing the dazzling sunlight, his collar and hair swaying in the wind at the entrance, with wisps of white vapor rising from his body.

Behind him, scarlet blood overflowed from the shallow pit, flowing to his feet, seemingly merging with the shadow behind him.

The display on the giant screen ended as the Bureau's personnel entered, freezing on this scene. The audience in the arena let out a sigh of satisfaction and regret.

Although the battle time was not long, only a few minutes, the ferocity, power, and impact displayed by the Third Limit combatants made them cheer. At this moment, they were still not satisfied and were all asking who the young man who defeated Wei Wusheng was.

However, Chen Chuan was wearing the Bureau's uniform, and some people caught a glimpse of his wide-brimmed hat placed aside, guessing that he was the expert sent by the Bureau to deal with Wei Wusheng.

They just wondered why they hadn't sent such a good fighter before, but it didn't seem like a bad thing? Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to see such an exciting battle?

At this time, the screen above flashed and returned to the arena. The host's high-pitched and激昂 voice reverberated in the arena again, and the audience realized that there was still a match here.

However, most people were still immersed in the fierce battle just now and didn't seem to be interested in the current match. Only with the host's efforts to mobilize them did they barely find some atmosphere.

Yu Shen and Huo Yucheng entered the arena in a half-hearted atmosphere. Their performance was actually not bad, especially Huo Yucheng, who was not affected by the surroundings. Instead, Yu Shen was a little irritable, but he was still above average.

But even if the two fought brilliantly, the audience's reaction didn't seem very enthusiastic. After watching the battle of the Third Limit combatants, watching the Second Limit combatants in front of them, they always felt something was missing.

The organizers also discovered this adverse effect, but they had of course considered this point in advance. Later, they would provide some spiked drinks, and the emotions of most of the audience could be easily mobilized by them, and they would soon return to the previous狂热 atmosphere.

Moreover, during the first match, various companies launched various combat implant advertisements in a timely manner, including some high-end combat implants that were being developed.

Many companies later found that a large number of people came to inquire about implant services during this period, and asked whether they could rely on high-end implants to achieve the performance level of Third Limit combatants.

At the same time, in a secret underground building, those few people were watching Wei Wusheng, who had been beaten to death, on the light screen.

One of them said with some regret, "Wei Wusheng is still a little short after all. Fortunately, our people on the organizer's side cooperated very well, allowing most people in the Central City to see that the aggregation and sublimation was once close to our requirements, but unfortunately the time was too short. It would be better if it was a little longer."

"Wei Wusheng actually died like this. How could this student be so strong?"

"Wu Yi's... a reserve law enforcement officer of the Bureau?"

One of them then said, "This person seems to be more in line with our requirements than Wei Wusheng. I suggest sending someone to contact him to see if he can..."

At this moment, the light screens of several resonance nests in the hall suddenly went out. Not only that, but their Boundary Permit connections were also interrupted at the same time.

It was not until a moment later that the light screens lit up again, and the Boundary Permits gradually returned to normal.

The leader asked in a deep voice, "What happened just now?"

One of the resonators hurriedly replied, "It was an emergency field shield initiated by us…"

The leader frowned and asked, "What's the reason?"

The resonator hesitated and said, "We followed your instructions to further investigate that student, and we did find something. It seems to involve… uh…"

"Involve what?"

"The Bureau of General Affairs…"

Everyone present fell silent. After a while, someone asked, "Were the traces erased?"

Only at the end did he take a deep look at Chen Chuan standing there.

He lowered his head and looked at Guan Chengqi, who was standing beside him, clenching his fists tightly. He said, "Kid, don't look like that. This is the fate of us fighters: to constantly defeat powerful opponents, or be killed by even stronger opponents. This is the path Xiao Wu chose himself, and he should bear the consequences."

"Hatred is just a useless thing. You have to figure out whether you are practicing for yourself or for someone else."

He waved his hand, and a servant came up and led Guan Chengqi out. He took two steps and said to a disciple following behind him, "Xiao Guang, go and bring back Xiao Wu's body. Although he is no longer a disciple of the Tianshu Gang, he is still my disciple. Any expenses will be paid from my account."

The disciple said in a deep voice, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely handle Senior Brother Wei's matter properly."

At the crossroads, Chen Chuan heard the sound of vehicles approaching in the distance, followed by a series of rapid and harsh braking sounds, and the gradually approaching hurried and chaotic footsteps.

Behind those messy and damaged vehicles, members of the Processing Bureau walked out one by one. After arriving here, they slowed down their pace in unison. Many people looked at Chen Chuan with surprise and admiration.

The leading captain came to Chen Chuan, nodded solemnly to him, and then quickly came to Wei Wusheng's body. After looking at the corpse and examining it, he breathed a sigh of relief, held up his communicator, and said to the bureau, "Report, Wei Wusheng is dead…"

After waiting for a moment, he glanced at Chen Chuan in the distance and said, "Confirmed!"

Seeing that they had taken over, Chen Chuan did not stay in place. He nodded to the crowd and left. At this time, Ni Qianqian's call came through.

Her voice was very bright, and it could be heard that she was in a good mood. "Brother Chen, you are really amazing! This time, you have saved face for me and our Processing Bureau. Let those gossipy people try to catch a Wei Wusheng?"

Chen Chuan said, "I didn't cause any trouble for Sister Ni, did I?"

"What trouble could there be? They are trying to curry favor with you now," Ni Qianqian chuckled. "You don't know, in just a short while, several old guys from above have contacted me, asking me to communicate with you more."

Chen Chuan sincerely said, "Sister Ni seems to have good connections in the bureau."

Hearing this, Ni Qianqian couldn't help but giggle.

Chen Chuan calmly waited. After a long while, Ni Qianqian calmed down and said, "Speaking of which, someone above wants to see you. Brother Chen, find some time in the next few days to come to the Processing Bureau. Well, prioritize your own affairs first, and don't be disturbed by the outside world. I'll help you block things at the bureau for now."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "I do have something to do. Thank you, Sister Ni."

"You're welcome," Ni Qianqian smiled. "Who told me I have good connections?"

After Chen Chuan finished the call with Ni Qianqian, he walked to the side. He first retrieved the Xuejun Blade and its scabbard, sheathed the blade, and then went to get his clothes.

At this moment, he noticed someone walking over with his coat and hat in his hand. He recognized him as Teacher Bai, Wu Yi's chauffeur. The latter gestured to him, "Student Chen, your things are here."

Chen Chuan quickly stepped forward, reached out to take them, and thanked him politely, "Teacher Bai, thank you."

Teacher Bai smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome." He looked him up and down and sighed, "You are truly outstanding. You are not even twenty years old, right? And you are already a Third Limit fighter. Such students are very rare.

Some students choose to graduate after reaching the Third Limit. Student Chen, may I ask what you personally are thinking of doing?"

Chen Chuan knew that this was an option, but those students usually stayed in the academy for several years, and he was not in a hurry yet. He had only been in the Central City for less than a year, and he could enjoy many resources in the school that he could not enjoy outside.

He said, "I still have a lot to learn."

Teacher Bai said, "Yes, it seems like you have only been in school for half a year. My suggestion is to stay for a while longer," he said meaningfully. "And there are some things that are only convenient to know and obtain in school. You will understand soon enough."
