Atlas of Heaven and Man

Assistant Qiu glanced at Lu Fang and the others, seeing that they were mostly unharmed, and walked out with Chen Chuan.

Lu Fang and the others silently watched Chen Chuan's figure gradually disappear. After a while, a member came over and said, "Vice President, this…"

Lu Fang turned his head and said, "Is everyone alright?"

The member said, "It's nothing. He held back. They're all minor injuries. A little ointment will do the trick."

Lu Fang sighed and said, "The opportunity was given to us, but we didn't seize it. It's not good to pester him any further. Maybe he's right. Without the Xuanxiang Strength, he might be able to reach even higher levels."

Someone was still a little unconvinced and said, "How is that possible? Even Senior couldn't do it back then. What makes him think he can?"

Lu Fang waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Since we can't persuade him to change his mind, we can only wait."

"Wait for what?"

Lu Fang said, "If he walks steadily and doesn't have so many ideas, then that's all there is to it. It's just a bit of a pity about his talent. But if he wants to take that step, maybe we can find a way to secretly help him at that time."

The many students didn't say anything.

Lu Fang looked at everyone and said, "Alright, it's getting late. Let's leave here first. Jinghao, please help send the injured classmates to the infirmary. Biyang, go and get some club funds to buy some good wound medicine for the injured classmates today. Also, everyone, leave in batches."

After he arranged everything, everyone supported each other as they left. Although they left in batches, it still attracted a lot of attention. Fortunately, it's common for fighters to get injured, so they didn't think too much about it for a while. At most, they were a little strange as to why so many seniors were injured today.

When Chen Chuan followed Assistant Qiu to the hall, Feng Xiaoqi had also finished the exam, but had already left at this time. Only Cheng Zitong and Old Lady Ni were chatting.

Assistant Qiu came to Teacher Ni's side first and whispered a lot of words to her. The old lady listened without changing her expression for a while, then looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Well, Xiao Cheng, this is your student? Quite a spirited young man."

Cheng Zitong said, "Chen Chuan, this is Teacher Ni. She can be considered my elder. Come and pay your respects."

Chen Chuan came forward, bowed to Ni Xiaolin, and said, "Hello, Teacher Ni."

Teacher Ni was very satisfied. She looked at Chen Chuan a few more times and asked, "Young man, what kind of weapon do you like?"

Cheng Zitong's spirits lifted, and he turned his head to signal Chen Chuan to answer quickly.

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "A long saber."

Old Lady Ni instructed Assistant Qiu. After a while, Assistant Qiu came out holding a long saber with a black scabbard.

She said, "This young man has caught the old lady's eye, so I'll give you a saber today."

Assistant Qiu came to Chen Chuan and handed him the saber, with the blade pointing upwards.

Chen Chuan didn't take it immediately. Cheng Zitong immediately said, "The old lady is giving it to you. This is a gift for a junior. Accept it."

Chen Chuan nodded his thanks to Assistant Qiu, and with both hands, he held the scabbard and took it. At this time, he felt a slight weight in his hand, feeling that the saber was heavier than he had expected. He bowed to Old Lady Ni and said, "Thank you, Teacher Ni."

Old Lady Ni said with a smile, "Young man, won't you take a look?"

Chen Chuan slowly drew the saber, and a streak of snow-white light reflected out. When the entire blade came out of the sheath, the room seemed to have an extra hint of coldness.

Cheng Zitong exclaimed, "What a fine saber!"

Old Lady Ni said, "Young man, take a look at this 'Snow Monarch Saber'. Does it suit you?"

Chen Chuan felt that the shape of this saber was a bit like the Ming long saber he had seen in his previous life. The handle was wrapped with fine silver threads, and the estimated length was more than 1.6 meters.

At this moment, he turned his wrist and gently twirled a saber flower.

Just now, he felt that this saber weighed at least ten pounds. Ordinary sabers only weigh two or three pounds. Even the students of the Wuyi Academy would not use more than five pounds, but this one almost doubled in weight.

However, he had the "Second Self", so holding it was not difficult at all. In fact, it wasn't that the students of Wuyi couldn't use overweight swords, but that too heavy weapons would affect their own center of gravity when held in their hands, but this one was just right.

He said, "It suits me quite well."

Teacher Ni said, "When you were fighting in the back just now, Xiao Qiu observed your figure and the approximate strength you possess. If you like long sabers, then this one is perfect for you now. But you young people grow fast, so it's hard to say in the future, so just make do with it for now."

Chen Chuan held the saber upright, clasped his fist at her, and said solemnly, "Thank you, Teacher Ni."

Cheng Zitong watched her leave and said to Chen Chuan, "Let's go too."

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, Teacher."

After the two came out and got into the car, Cheng Zitong said while fastening his seat belt, "This old lady is amazing. When she told me about it, I was a little annoyed. Now that you have passed the exam, she has given you a saber. Not only am I not angry now, but I also have to thank her."

He saw that Chen Chuan didn't speak and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Chen Chuan said, "Teacher, just now at Teacher Ni's place, I felt like I was still in the old era."

When talking to Old Lady Ni, both the surrounding atmosphere and the people seemed to be in the past. It wasn't until he came out and looked at the heavy buildings outside that he felt like he was back in the present.

Cheng Zitong was stunned for a moment, then looked ahead and said with emotion, "When people get old, they will recall the past and immerse themselves in the past. There are circles everywhere in the world. There are circles outside and inside the school, there are circles between teachers, there are circles between students, and there are circles in people's own hearts, but don't be bound by the circles, you have to find a way to get out, otherwise it will be too narrow and you won't be able to see the complete world."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Teacher is right."

Cheng Zitong started the car and drove towards the dormitory, saying, "Since Old Lady Ni has given you this saber, then you have to learn saber techniques, otherwise it will be useless. Teacher will teach you a set of basic saber techniques later."

Chen Chuan said, "Thank you, Teacher, but without a weapon permit, I can't bring it outside."

Cheng Zitong said, "So you have to find a way to get the weapon permit as soon as possible. The importance of this permit is greater than you think. Although there are some special circumstances, you can still get the approval, but no matter what, you must first learn the saber techniques, so that the permit will be useful when you get it.

By the way, you can start doing some commissioned tasks in the next two days. You should prepare first, and I will find someone to take you around to complete the three commissioned tasks required for registration."

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, Teacher, I'll wait."

In the administrative office building of the school, in a certain office at the highest point, the white-haired old man was practicing calligraphy. The paper was hanging on the wall, and he was holding the end of a two-meter-long brush with three fingers, writing calmly.

The young student walked in and waited for a while before saying, "Teacher, those students lost, is it…"

The white-haired old man waved his arm, and under the movement, a sharp hook suddenly appeared there. He took a few steps back, looked at it with satisfaction, and said, "There's no need to do anything more. The saber has been sharpened, and someone will naturally come to grind it."

"Yes, Teacher."

Here at the North Peak Manor Villa, the recommended students also knew the results in the training hall.

Someone said in surprise, "Zhou Yuan Strength Technique? Does the academy have this strength technique?"

Senior Jiang instructed the attendant behind him, and the latter quickly left. After a while, he returned and respectfully sent over a somewhat old Zhou Yuan Strength Technique.

He took it into his hand and leaned on the chair to read it for a long time. He originally thought that there were some secrets hidden in this strength technique, but after looking at it, it was just a whimsical strength technique. He threw it aside casually and commented, "Garbage."

One of the recommended students also took it and looked at it, and soon showed a disgusted expression, and said with some schadenfreude, "He chose this? How could he be so clueless?"

Senior Jiang narrowed his eyes and said, "Although he has rejected the Xuanxiang Strength Technique now, he was able to defeat so many senior students within a month of entering the school, so it seems that we still need to continue to pay attention to him."
