Atlas of Heaven and Man

After returning home, Chen Chuan saw that Nian Fuli was still at the bureau and hadn't returned. It seemed he was planning to stay there again. This situation was common before. Yu Wan was still waiting there, and when she saw him come back, she gave him a word of instruction before going to sleep.

He washed up and returned to his room, took his medicine, and used breathing techniques instead of sleep.

This stage was mainly focused on consolidating his foundation and calming his mind. He didn't need to actively improve anything. Now that his mental focus was becoming smoother, he felt that returning to Yangzhi City was the right decision.

Although Yangzhi City also had its share of issues, it was far less than the Central City, especially without the connection of the Boundary Token, and away from those disturbances, it was very suitable for cultivating his state of mind.

After this night passed, Chen Chuan went to the commission company he used to work for. The company was still there, and the security guards hadn't changed.

Ren Shu happened to be at the company today. When he saw him visiting, he was pleasantly surprised and immediately notified everyone.

In less than an hour, most of the original partners had arrived. Even those who were busy put aside their work and came to the company.

Among these people, many young people genuinely admired him, and their level of admiration was not much less than that of his younger schoolmates. They were very excited about his return and showed him the commissioned tasks that the company had handled in the past six months.

Chen Chuan then learned that they had not given up on the Strange Tales commissions because of his departure, but had hired some commissioners to handle these matters based on the notes and materials he had left behind.

However, they were acting within their capabilities. They would not accept some commissions that were clearly beyond their ability. Under this guidance, they were doing quite well.

Ren Shu also showed him the company's commission records. Fortunately, there had been no particularly large-scale Strange Tales in the past six months. For some that they clearly couldn't handle, they would try to relocate the surrounding people according to the methods Chen Chuan had instructed. Over time, the Strange Tales would naturally disappear.

Of course, most of the time people were unwilling to leave. They weren't rigid either and would use some methods of persuasion and coercion. Although it seemed like they were losing money to gain popularity, in reality, their commission credit rating was increasing rapidly, and they were able to develop other commission businesses to fill this gap.

Chen Chuan had a meal with them and helped solve some difficult problems related to Strange Tales, and then left in the afternoon.

After coming out, he found a phone booth and made a call, asking Instructor Wen when he could start teaching. The latter immediately gave him a location:

"3 PM, Dongbao District suburban camp."

When Chen Chuan heard this place, his heart stirred slightly. He looked at his watch. It was a little past 2 PM. It was about the right time to go there now, so he got into the car and drove all the way to his destination.

Around 2:50, he arrived at the location Instructor Wen had mentioned.

He had been here once with Wei Chang'an. It was originally the base of Guo Pangzi's Blood Scar Gang. Later, the Blood Scar Gang was wiped out, and Guo Pangzi ultimately failed to escape. The Blood Scar Gang's哨 and fences were also demolished. It seemed that this place had become an abandoned area, and no one had come here for a long time.

When he drove in, he found that Instructor Wen had already arrived. He was standing on a relatively flat patch of mud. So he parked the car outside, got out, came closer, clasped his fist in salute, "Hello, Instructor Wen."

Instructor Wen responded with a smile: "Hello, Student Chen. Before I officially teach you, do you have anything you want to ask?"

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Instructor Wen, both you and Teacher He mentioned the Pure Stream. What exactly is the Pure Stream?"

Instructor Wen said: "Old He didn't explain it to you? That's right, at that time you hadn't reached the Third Limit yet. Knowing it would only add to your worries.

Let me explain it briefly. In the beginning, it actually stemmed from some differences in combat philosophy.

Simply put, some fighters believe that on the path of combat, only by adhering to a pure and complete 'self' is the only and correct choice to move towards the sublimation of life, and there is no need for any additional things to support or assist, because those things will only be burdens and obstacles.

In the past, almost most fighters could be actively or passively classified into this faction, so in the old era this was a widespread understanding.

But in the new era, the situation is different. The spread of knowledge and the improvement of technology have enabled people who adhere to these ideas to gradually improve their theories, and thus form a more significant school, which is what you have heard of today as the 'Pure Stream'.

This school has no absolute rules or restrictions. Fighters only have mutually recognized combat philosophies, and through long-term cooperation and discussion, as well as confrontation with other schools, they have many achievements in combat cultivation. The Furnace Breathing Method that Old He taught you before is one of them."

Chen Chuan pondered for a moment and raised his head to say: "Instructor mentioned confrontation, so there are many other factions besides the Pure Stream?"

Instructor Wen said: "According to cognitive classification, the one you have the most contact with is the Implantation Stream. These people believe that implants can make up for people's shortcomings and make up for congenital defects. This is the path to the ultimate.

However, it is not enough to transplant a few implants to be called the Implantation Stream, but a true dedication and recognition of this philosophy, participation in the organization, and enjoyment of the results, can be classified into it.

But you must remember that any faction has extremists, so don't think that people from the Pure Stream will necessarily stand with you, or that the Implantation Stream must be your enemy. Such thinking, besides making yourself more narrow-minded, does not bring too many benefits.

“Regardless of the type of perception, they are merely different paths of combat. Their paths to seeking the sublimation of life may be different, but their ultimate goal is the same.”

After saying this, he smiled again, “I won’t elaborate on the details here. You will slowly understand in the future. Is there anything else you want to ask?”

Chen Chuan said, “Not for now.”

Instructor Wen said, “Then I will begin formally teaching you the method of application. Before I teach you, I need to first determine the progress of your Furnace Breathing Technique.”

Chen Chuan nodded. Immediately, he took a deep breath. In an instant, his whole body's skin became scorching hot and red, and wisps of white vapor emanated from his body.

Instructor Wen seemed to see his question and explained with a smile, “Field perception is a skill. You can learn specific ways to control it in the Wuyi General Academy, but the prerequisite is that you need to have some talent. If your brain's mutated tissue is developed enough, doing this will be relatively simple.”

After a while, Chen Chuan felt that the sensation disappeared.

Instructor Wen nodded and said appreciatively, “Student Chen, your bio-field is very balanced. Generally speaking, such balance would have no special characteristics and would appear very ordinary. But since your external appearance is not like that, then it means that you have all-round balance and power. Then I think you should have no difficulty learning the next technique.”

As he said this, he deliberately slowed down his speech a little, as if to make Chen Chuan understand more clearly.

“The Furnace Breathing Technique is to accumulate the energy in your body and release it when needed. But there is a trick to how you release it. A one-time burst can greatly improve your physical fitness, but this is only a relatively superficial method.

The newest novels are at 69shuba.top!

And through certain techniques, you can make the use of energy more efficient. This not only requires the use of breathing techniques but also requires…”

He pointed to his forehead, “It also requires the cooperation of divine thought and even essence blood… Do you know about divine thought and essence blood?”

Chen Chuan nodded, “I heard a teacher explain it before.”

“That's good. Since you have already been exposed to this concept, then I don’t need to explain further. The potential of mutated tissues is greater than you think. After using the Furnace Breathing Technique and then performing correct guidance and adjustment, you can make it exert a greater effect.

For example, on the basis of maintaining the Furnace state, you can briefly burst out speed again, deliver more powerful attacks, increase the body's tolerance limit, and so on.

After you are proficient in the technique, you can also quickly form a stronger and more tenacious protective layer in the area where the mutated tissues are concentrated, so that it achieves an effect similar to Horizontal Training Strength.

In addition to this, there are also some unique usage methods. For example, I can discharge the high heat from my whole body and inject it into the human body in an instant. If it falls into the brain tissue, it can instantly cook the brain tissue, and the high heat will force the skull to crack, thereby producing a skull-splitting effect.”

Instructor Wen smiled slightly after saying this, “Skull-splitting is not the goal, but to effectively adjust oneself while attacking the enemy, eliminating some of the burden on the body's tissues, improving one's combat ability, and this method can sometimes be very effective in deterring the enemy.

For the current you, there is no need to pursue these. You only need to master the basic techniques. At the current stage, these are enough for you to use.

Now relax your body, concentrate your mind, maintain your focus, and then feel carefully…” As he spoke, his breathing became hot, and the skin on his body began to turn slightly red.

Chen Chuan immediately did as he said. After a while, he felt a strange vibration drive him, and the mutated tissues on his body moved spontaneously with Instructor Wen's breathing.

This was like the breathing technique guidance that Cheng Zitong gave him in the beginning, but this time, there was no need for direct contact, but rather a kind of field resonance perception.

He couldn't help but think of the method of breaking the Resonance Nest limit. Perhaps it was using this kind of transmission method?

This thought flashed and then disappeared. He didn't think too much about it, but maintained his feeling and acceptance of these things. Soon, he found that the various mutated tissues were carrying out regular movements and transmissions.

He didn't deliberately try to remember, but his body automatically remembered these operation and guidance methods.

He understood in his heart that Instructor Wen was using this method to directly transmit the application methods of the techniques he had mastered to his mind and even his body, without him needing to practice for a long time.

But it seemed that not long after, he felt his head start to swell slightly. At this time, he heard Instructor Wen's voice ringing in his ears: “Let’s stop here for today.”

Chen Chuan withdrew from this state and suddenly found that the sun outside was setting. He looked at his watch and found that unknowingly, he had been standing here for three hours, but it felt like only a short time had passed.
