Atlas of Heaven and Man

When Chen Chuan got downstairs, he saw an ordinary-looking Puyue sedan approaching in the distance. As it got closer, the car door opened, and Councilor Pei was sitting in the back seat, nodding to him as a greeting.

Chen Chuan responded and got in. After the door closed, the car drove onto the elevated road.

Councilor Pei took out a briefcase and handed him a document.

"This is the latest news about Chen Bitong. The location of his training class has been decided. It's currently in an internal trial phase, and only those who have received an invitation can attend. It won't be open to the public for student training until next month.

Captain Chen, if it's convenient for you, you might as well show your face there tomorrow. Besides you, there should be some other relevant personnel going there. These people will be helpful in getting close to Chen Bitong. If possible, try to build good relationships with them. Also…"

He handed Chen Chuan a few tickets.

"There's a play at the end of this month that Chen Bitong is confirmed to be attending at the theater. Many political figures will be there at that time, and Captain Chen can also attend."

Chen Chuan took them and saw that it was indeed the same theater that Tan Zhi had mentioned. Although he had already accepted Tan Zhi's invitation, there was no harm in having a few extra tickets, so he put them away and said, "I will go."

Councilor Pei smiled and said, "Captain Chen, as I said before, you don't need to actively do anything. Just enter their circle and build a good relationship with Chen Bitong. However, if he shows any abnormalities, please inform us as soon as possible.

If they might extend a membership invitation to you like last time, just ignore it."

Chen Chuan asked, "Let me ask a hypothetical question. If it's to gain their trust, wouldn't feigning membership make it easier to be accepted?"

Councilor Pei shook his head and said, "Membership has a strict procedure. Whether it's sincere or feigned, once you join, you can't wash away the traces on your body. It's best to stay away."

Chen Chuan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

The sedan drove around on the elevated road and then dropped him back at Wuyi.

After Chen Chuan returned to the dormitory, he looked through the information given by Councilor Pei. After having a good understanding, he browsed the edge channels for a while and then went back to rest.

The next morning, he got up as usual, did his daily training, and then set off after nine o'clock.

The training class was also located in Wuding District, but it was actually close to the central urban area of Weiguang District. It took him half an hour to drive to the area.

It can be seen that Chen Bitong has a deep network of connections. The training class is located in a fifty-story conference office building, and the top ten floors have been allocated to him for training purposes.

The weather was very good today. The building's deep blue glass curtain wall clearly reflected the scenery of the opposite building, and among the many buildings, only the light and shadow of this building were turned off, and there was no advertising noise, which looked very unique at a glance.

He straightened his cuffs and walked in. At the inspection point, he took out his name card and waved it. A voice came from the boundary screen: "Identity confirmed. Hello, Captain Chen. The training class is currently only open internally. If you need to visit and understand, please move to the training ground on the forty-second floor."

Chen Chuan entered the elevator and went to the forty-second floor. He walked through the front hall passage and entered the training ground located on the south side, with the door open to the outside.

However, possibly because it hasn't officially opened yet, and he arrived early, besides the necessary training equipment, there was only a teenager pinching and hitting the joints and vital points of a human figure, constantly moving and shifting positions, and occasionally making exhalation and shouting sounds.

This teenager was about fourteen or fifteen years old. Although he was young, it looked like he had already started training. This was one or two years earlier than ordinary people started training, but some people with the right conditions and a good foundation from childhood could start a little earlier.

Chen Chuan saw that there was no one around, and the teenager wasn't using any secret moves, so he walked over and watched. However, he could tell at a glance that although the latter was very diligent, he was going in the wrong direction.

Chen Chuan continued, "Your training method is aimed at the cultivation method of capturing and controlling force, but based on your body type and the distribution of your mutated fascia, you are actually more suitable for freehand force."

The teenager ignored him, paused for a moment, and then continued his previous training.

Seeing that he wouldn't listen, Chen Chuan smiled slightly and didn't say much. He prepared to go to another place to take a look, but as he turned around, the teenager's voice came from behind.

"Really?"

Chen Chuan turned back and saw the teenager looking at him with some suspicion, "Are you also here to be trained by him?"

Chen Chuan said, "Are you talking about Teacher Chen? He did invite me here."

"But I've never seen you before."

Chen Chuan said, "Well, this is my first time here."

The teenager looked at him a few times, hesitated, "What should I do?"

Chen Chuan glanced to the side, walked to another human figure similar in size to him, reached out and grabbed it, directly pulling it over. Then, he punched straight into its chest, where a piece immediately caved in. At the same time, he used a whip kick, and one of the figure's arms directly fractured.

This wasn't the end. He used his knee to push against the figure's waist and abdomen, which bent the whole thing over. He raised his palm upward, and with a click, the figure's head directly snapped backward. Finally, he reached out, grabbed its face, and with a gentle pinch, there was a loud bang, and the figure's entire head shattered.

He moved his fingers, and the powder inside rustled down. Then, he turned back and said to the teenager who was staring at him with wide eyes, "It's enough to practice these few moves well."

The teenager was stunned for a moment, and then excitement appeared in his eyes.

He knew that these human figures were specially made, extremely tough, and very heavy. Usually, no matter how he fiddled with them, he couldn't damage them in the slightest. But Chen Chuan casually made a few moves and turned the human figure into this state. This kind of destructive power was more convincing than any sermon.

At the same time, he was eager to try and wanted to do a few moves like that.

Chen Chuan stepped aside and encouraged, "Try it."

The teenager stepped forward, came to the original human figure, and tried it according to Chen Chuan's example. At first, he still had to recall, but after a few times, he became skilled.

As he punched out, he naturally let out a shout. With a bang, the heavy human figure actually shook.

He was stunned for a moment, and then became excited, because no matter how hard he tried before, he couldn't shake the human figure at all, but now it was different. So, he continuously performed punches and kicks in the same way as before.

Chen Chuan watched. This teenager had a good foundation and a good memory, and he learned very quickly. Of course, the few moves he demonstrated weren't difficult to remember. More would have made it less easy to perform.

Moreover, he wasn't simply punching just now, but also clearly showed some of the force-generating points of the mutated organization.

He couldn't do this before, but after embarking on the path of spiritual cultivation, it allowed him to make the necessary adjustments to even the minute parts of his body.

The bonus in combat is also very large, allowing him to generate more powerful and more precise force.

In the field, the teenager was now excitedly making moves, and the amplitude of the human figure's shaking was obviously greater than before. This was because the correct force generation allowed more of the mutated organization to participate.

After punching for two minutes, the teenager retreated, panting. He couldn't help but look at himself strangely. Usually, he could punch continuously for ten or twenty minutes without getting tired, but today he only felt fatigue coming after a while.

Chen Chuan said from the side, "The mutated fascia in your body is still very young. Because of the force generation problem before, it didn't participate in your moves. Most of what you used was the power of your muscles and bones. But just now, it participated, so now it's not your body that's tired, but your mutated fascia that's tired.

When they have rested well, they will become stronger than before and more suitable for your current force generation. You can use some drugs to promote recovery, and if you have the conditions, you can also find a specialist to help you massage and recover."

The teenager's expression was very focused, obviously listening to these words. He looked up and asked, "If…" he said, "If I don't practice capturing anymore, how should I practice in the future?"

Chen Chuan said, "The simplest method is to first learn a set of major freehand techniques. This is not to increase your combat power, but to comb and correct the mutated fascia inside your body that has shifted due to practicing capturing. After correcting it, then you can try orthodox freehand techniques. When the fascia adapts and becomes stronger, you can try cultivating force methods."

The teenager sincerely said, "Thank you."

No one had ever told him these things before. He was just practicing by referring to those books and some scattered knowledge he knew, but he didn't know how to string them together specifically, and he didn't know exactly how to proceed.

Chen Chuan said, "It's just a few words, it's nothing."

At this time, he heard the sound of the elevator opening outside, followed by voices and mixed footsteps. Obviously, many people were walking towards here.

He turned his eyes and saw more than a dozen people coming in from outside in a scattered manner. Several of them were wearing military uniforms, while most of the people were wearing casual clothes.

When these people came in, they also saw Chen Chuan. One of the strong men looked him up and down, said a few words to the person next to him, nodded, and then walked up and asked, "Captain Chen?"

Chen Chuan said, "That's me."

The teenager looked up at him, remembering his title.

The strong man stopped in front of Chen Chuan. His height of more than two meters gave off a faint sense of oppression. He said to him, "Captain Chen, I am Ding Mai. I am also serving in the Convergence Zone, leading a small team. Of course, I haven't been promoted as fast as you."

He grinned, "Captain Chen, I've heard of your achievements. You were the one who dealt with the Iron Fiend. To be honest, I was transferred to participate in the defense mission those days, otherwise I would have been the one to deal with the Iron Fiend."

Chen Chuan said, "Is that so?"

Ding Mai stared at him and said, "I only have ten days of vacation in the central city. I just want to learn from Teacher Chen, but today I saw you and want to spar with you. I don't care about winning or losing. I just want to know how powerful someone who can beat the Iron Fiend and is invited by Teacher Chen is."
