Atlas of Heaven and Man

With a 'clang' sound, the Snow Lord Blade was fully unsheathed, its blade gleaming with a cold, sharp light under the gloomy sky.

Chen Chuan rotated the long blade slightly and steadily walked forward.

Compared to two months ago, he had made more obvious progress. Besides starting the cultivation of mental power, the most important thing was that his physical foundation had also improved significantly.

Moreover, these days, being in the academy, he could rely on Hong Fu's sparring to perfectly integrate the power accumulated in his body with himself.

In addition to these, thanks to the constant fighting with strong opponents, the resonance between his Second Self and himself had deepened, gradually approaching the third limit.

At this moment, he was looking forward to a strong enough opponent, and this Duty Samurai was obviously very suitable.

As he walked closer, the opponent also jumped down from the high ground. Although he was covered in armor, he didn't make much noise when he landed, and the force was dissipated with a slight thud.

Chen Chuan could see that the armor on his body had obvious wear and tear, as well as traces of weapon collisions. These details were completely simulated.

However, he judged that these simulations might not be like Hong Fu, who could let it exert various martial skills on its own, but perhaps they were reconstructed based on Chen Bitong's memories and experiences.

The Duty Samurai stared at him with blood-red eyes. At this moment, he thrust the spear in his hand into the ground and directly drew the long sword he carried beside him, walking towards him amidst the clanging sound of the armor plates.

Chen Chuan met him head-on, but before he could get close, the opponent's figure suddenly swayed, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at his side. The long sword was already slashing towards him. The speed didn't look particularly fast, but it was seamless, giving a sense of inescapability.

But he didn't need to dodge.

He backhanded a slash to meet it. The opponent could have changed his move, but obviously, through observing him, he was very confident in his own strength. Therefore, not only did the sword's momentum not change, but it even accelerated a little.

Chen Chuan's eyes were deep. At the moment when the two swords clashed, his Second Self instantly merged with himself, and a powerful force instantly transmitted to the blade, causing the opponent's sword to be bounced upwards.

The Duty Samurai originally wanted to completely suppress his strength, but he misjudged the power on his sword. This mistake led to all the subsequent preparations being misaligned.

Sensing something was wrong, he immediately tried to adjust to deal with Chen Chuan's possible subsequent attacks. Although his movements were fast, there was a brief detachment from the original connection, creating a gap.

And this gap was an obvious flaw in front of equally matched opponents.

Chen Chuan did it intentionally, using this gap to break the situation, so at this moment, where would he give him a chance to reorganize? He immediately slashed horizontally and quickly followed up.

At this time, the Duty Samurai suddenly raised his elbow to block with the armor on his arm. Even if his entire arm was cut off by the knife, he could still use the opportunity to delay for a moment.

And in just this moment, he could adjust, and at the same time, he could buy enough time for the mutated tissue on his body to transform. As long as the transformation was completed, his strength could also increase sharply, thereby gaining the power to absolutely overwhelm Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan saw his actions and intentions clearly. At this time, if he didn't slash his arm, but chose to change his move, although he would still be in the dominant position, such a transformation would give the opponent a chance.

This was inconsistent with his original intention, and the advantage he had tried to seize from the beginning would not achieve the ideal result. So at this moment, his eyes flashed, maintaining the original sword momentum unchanged.

However, when this slash landed on the opponent's raised arm, it did not produce the intended slashing effect. As a force sank in, it produced a strong thrust instead.

As the two sides' forces collided, the Duty Samurai couldn't help but lean back.

He immediately realized that something was wrong, but his sword had been bounced open before, and his front was wide open. If he didn't want to be killed by a single slash, he had no choice but to cover it with his hand. In order to ensure that the block could delay the blade, the mutated tissue on his arm was completely tense, and strength and part of his essence blood were also concentrated there.

At this time, Chen Chuan turned the long sword in his hand, quickly stepped forward a few steps, and stepped on the head. With a 'crack' sound, he crushed the head and the activated brain tissue inside.

This time, he only made three slashes. An opponent whose strength was comparable to that of the Iron Demon, or even higher, was killed on the spot. The whole process was clean and neat, without any hesitation.

The difference here was not only because of his progress in the past two months, but also because he used his Second Self to make the opponent misjudge. And the opponent was destined to be passive after losing the first move from the beginning.

This is how masters fight. Just a misjudgment can lead to different results.

In fact, because the Duty Samurai's transformation was not completed, his strength was actually not as good as the Iron Demon's final stage.

Chen Bitong witnessed the whole process from behind. He commented, "Well done."

Chen Chuan walked back and asked, "Teacher Chen, how long did it take you to deal with this person back then?"

Chen Bitong said, "That was ten years ago. I hadn't reached my current level at that time. I remember it took half an hour. I used my past self to measure you, and it seems I underestimated Captain Chen."

At this time, he looked ahead, then walked over, took out a small oil can from his arms, poured it on the Duty Samurai's body, and then took out a lighter and lit it. A raging fire immediately burned on the samurai's corpse.

"People like this are likely to have strong activation in their bodies. In addition to the head, it is best to deal with the body together. Burning it with kerosene is the easiest way."

He gestured with the small box in his hand, "This kind of oil can in my hand can be obtained from the military supply depot. It was originally for starting fires in the wild. One can can be used for a few days. You can bring one with you when you go out on missions in the future. It's very convenient to deal with."

Chen Chuan nodded. Such small knowledge was very useful. He would be leading a team in the Convergence Zone, and it was his responsibility to his teammates to understand these things.

Chen Bitong then said, "Captain Chen, in the battle just now, do you think that if you improve your methods, you can kill that person in a shorter time?"

Chen Chuan thought for a while. If he burst out all his power in an instant, then perhaps he could, but if he used the Furnace Breathing Method from the beginning, he would lose his concealment.

The opponent might also immediately carry out an activated transformation, so it was difficult to say.

He frankly said, "I can't be sure."

Chen Bitong said, "You deliberately showed weakness just now, and then instantly attacked and killed the opponent before they completed their transformation. This is the right way.

But it can only be done once. The remnants of the former imperial family have a very developed information channel, and there are internal lines lurking within us. After confirming your danger, similar opponents will immediately transform upon seeing you.

And you killed the Iron Demon. Next time, after their people confirm that it is you, they will definitely not give you another chance. But, there is still a way to do it."

Chen Chuan immediately asked for advice, "Please enlighten me, Teacher Chen."

Chen Bitong said, "You must first understand that the things parasitic in these people's bodies have their own consciousness, but under the technology of the imperial remnants, they are usually in a dormant state, and are mainly dominated by the will of those authorized samurai.

And after the activated transformation is completed, the dominant person becomes the parasite. Although the two are symbionts, the two consciousnesses will transfer and hand over during the transformation. However, this spiritual transition actually has gaps. Even a perfectly integrated spirit needs some time to adjust.

This gap is the opportunity.

We only need to have a spiritual collision with them. We only need to contain them for a moment to disconnect their body and spirit. There is no need for too many spiritual skills here, and there is no need to completely overwhelm the opponent. Just a small collision is enough, but the timing must be accurate.

Watch carefully."

He clicked the boundary device on his ear, and another Duty Samurai appeared opposite, exactly the same as the one just now. He then stepped forward and took the spear that the previous Duty Samurai had stuck in the ground.

Perhaps because he showed extremely strong pressure from the beginning, the newly appeared Duty Samurai almost immediately carried out self-transformation. Mutated tissue emerged from his body and filled the gaps in the armor.

Chen Bitong waited for him to complete his transformation before stepping forward. After reaching a suitable distance, he raised his hand and stabbed with the spear.

The Duty Samurai also raised the spear in his hand to block, but at this time, he seemed to feel something was wrong, and his movements were a little slower. So his body leaned outwards, trying to dodge.

Chen Bitong seemed to know where he was leaning, and the spearhead turned, and suddenly pierced into his face. The force was activated along the way, and his head exploded in the helmet with a bang.

After stabbing the Duty Samurai to death with one spear, he didn't seem to intend to stop. He looked to the side, where another identical Duty Samurai walked out.

He still let him transform first, and then walked closer, and similarly stabbed with a spear.

This was exactly the same action as last time, but the Duty Samurai still failed to make a good resistance. With a 'chih' sound, he was easily stabbed in from the face armor. As the sound of bursting rotten flesh was heard, the helmet rolled to the ground, spilling a ground of rotten meat and broken bones.
