Atlas of Heaven and Man

After mid-October, Cheng Zitong checked Chen Chuan's training progress and optimistically told him that, based on the current level, he might master the Strength Method by the end of the month, or at most by early to mid-November.

This way, once the assigned task was completed, he could start applying for a weapon permit.

However, Cheng Zitong also reminded him that after the initial limit, the growth of the aberrant tissue usually slows down, and it is necessary to observe for a period of time after that.

In some people, the aberrant tissue will slow down and stagnate, while in others, it will continue to grow after a period of decline, as if it is just an adjustment and accumulation phase, so extra attention should be paid. If this is the case, then be prepared to enter the next limit in advance.

Chen Chuan himself didn't know what would happen, because he was completely supported by uninterrupted breathing techniques, and he wasn't relying on innate "talent" at all. Therefore, theoretically speaking, reaching twenty-four hours of basic breathing is the peak, and it may not be possible to rely on this to stimulate it any further.

In fact, this is just the most ideal estimate. It is very likely that the effect of the breathing technique will gradually weaken before he reaches this level.

So what should he do next? Should he rely on drugs? Or rely on other methods? It's still too early to consider this now, but he can already start paying attention to it.

On this day off, he began to prepare for the second assigned task arranged by Cheng Zitong.

This time, Ren Xiaotian was still leading him.

After ten o'clock in the morning, he received a call from Ren Xiaotian, so he went downstairs. After going outside, he immediately saw the familiar SUV parked steadily there.

He walked over and greeted Ren Xiaotian in the driver's seat. Then he saw a very lively young girl sitting in the passenger seat. Her hair was very short, and at first glance, he thought she was a boy. She waved at him after seeing him, "Hello, little brother, I'm Lin Xiaodi, just call me Xiaodi."

Chen Chuan said, "Hello."

Ren Xiaotian said, "My senior sister's apprentice, she is needed for today's assignment." After Chen Chuan got into the car, Ren Xiaotian handed him a notebook and said, "Today's task."

Chen Chuan took it and skillfully flipped to the end he had seen before. First, the task description: the daughter of a wealthy businessman named An often sneaks out to watch the underground arena of the Blood Scar Gang, often staying out all night.

The wealthy businessman tried to persuade his daughter to come back, but it had almost no effect. Later, he used tough methods, but they were all beaten away by the bodyguard next to his daughter. This bodyguard was hired by the wealthy businessman's daughter with her pocket money and was very skilled. Without using too drastic methods, there was no way for the time being, so this time he entrusted the task to the company, asking them to bring the person back.

Because this assignment looks very simple, it is actually difficult to do, because most people avoid anything related to the Blood Scar Gang. Even though the reward is very high, there are still very few people willing to accept it.

Ren Xiaotian's specific arrangement was for them to go in and persuade first, clarify the situation, and try not to take action. If it was really necessary to take action, then they would deal with the bodyguard, and then Xiaodi would take the rich girl back.

This arrangement was reasonable, and it was necessary to bring Xiaodi along, because forcibly using methods would inevitably involve physical contact, and Xiaodi's involvement would reduce a lot of trouble.

At the end, two key points were highlighted in red pen:

First, the people of the Blood Scar Gang may obstruct, so be careful.

Second, protecting yourself is the most important thing.

After Chen Chuan finished reading, he returned the notebook to Ren Xiaotian. The latter took it and looked at him frequently. Chen Chuan realized what he meant when he looked over for the third time and said, "Senior Brother Ren, I have no objection."

Only then did Ren Xiaotian stop looking at him and concentrated on driving the car.

After leaving the school, the SUV went south and then turned west. After about ten minutes, they arrived at the underground arena run by the Blood Scar Gang.

This location is located at the junction of Baofeng District and Daping District in the southwest direction, not too far from the prosperous area of the city center.

The so-called "underground arena" is actually a non-professional arena. Although it is not recognized by the Arena Fighting Association, it is a competitive entertainment venue that is allowed to operate openly in Yangzhi City, and it also officially pays taxes to the Yangzhi City Government.

The exterior of the venue building is similar to Wu Yi's training hall. Although it is still daytime and not the busiest time, there are still many cars parked outside.

When entering to buy tickets, the security guard in charge of guarding glanced at them a few times, but did not come up to ask anything.

After the three of them entered smoothly, there was an upward slope in front, followed by a circular corridor. After going around here, they reached a gate guarded by many security guards. From here, they officially entered the interior of the venue. As soon as they walked inside, the sound in their ears suddenly became noisy, with the sound of percussion instruments and howls rising and falling.

Chen Chuan could see that about twenty meters ahead was a ring more than one meter above the ground. The lights above were very bright, and two muscular fighters were fighting fiercely, punching each other very hard. After fighting for a while, they wrestled together, and sweat and blood were indistinguishable.

Dozens of people sparsely surrounded the ring, clapping, cheering, and whistling, and some people were lying haphazardly on the soft seats around, with scattered wine bottles and cans next to them.

Lin Xiaodi grabbed a passing waiter, stuffed him a banknote, and asked, "Which box is An Qingqing in?"

The waiter neatly took the banknote, pointed in a direction, and said, "Box No. 7 on the second floor."

At this time, Chen Chuan was observing the surrounding terrain and paying attention to the location of the surrounding security guards and gang members, but Ren Xiaotian pulled him. He turned his head and saw Ren Xiaotian shaking his head at him and saying, "The location here is not good, let's go up and take a look."

This woman was more than half a head taller than Chen Chuan, and her height must have exceeded two meters. She asked in a muffled voice, "Who are you?"

Lin Xiaodi took out a commission form and said, "Mr. An asked us to come and find her."

Before the female bodyguard could speak, a voice came from inside: "Is it another one sent by my old man? Let them in."

The female bodyguard stepped aside, and Chen Chuan and the other two also walked in, seeing a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl sitting on the sofa, wearing a loose shirt and a hip-hugging canvas pants, with thick eyelashes and bright lipstick shining with crystal sand. She was quite pretty.

She propped her hands on both sides of her body, shaking her two calves, paying attention to the game below, not looking at them, and said, "You can go back, I told my old man a long time ago, I won't go back until I've had enough fun."

Lin Xiaodi asked, "Miss An, how can you have enough fun?"

"How can I have... huh?"

An Qingqing looked back, it was just a glance, but when she saw Chen Chuan, she turned her head and looked him up and down a few times. She suddenly became interested, turned around and knelt up, with one hand on the back of the sofa and the other propping her cheek, her eyes swept back and forth, and said, "You have all practiced fighting, right?"

She said with great interest, "Like this, there will be a round robin here soon, you pick one person to go up, as long as you win the game, I will go with you."

She smiled again, "Actually, you can also choose to take me away by force, as long as you defeat Xiao Zhen, I won't resist."

Chen Chuan could see that An Qingqing should just be making an excuse. Most likely, she just wanted to see them fight, so as to find more excitement and fun.

Taking action is actually the worst strategy. It's okay to deal with just one female bodyguard, but things are not that simple. An Qingqing is now a customer of the Blood Scar Gang. If they forcibly take action, the Blood Scar Gang will not ignore it.

At this time, Ren Xiaotian suddenly walked straight out. Chen Chuan didn't know what he was thinking, but he wouldn't be meddlesome and followed without hesitation. Lin Xiaodi waved to An Qingqing and said, "Goodbye, Miss An."

An Qingqing pouted, as if she suddenly felt bored, and sat back down again.

Ren Xiaotian walked outside, stuffed a note to Lin Xiaodi, and said, "Xiaodi, wait outside for half an hour. If you don't see us, call the number on it."

Lin Xiaodi took it, didn't ask any more questions, waved to the two of them, and walked out briskly.

At this time, Ren Xiaotian walked up to a Blood Scar Gang member who looked a bit important, took out a business card of the client, and said, "I'm looking for your boss."
