Atlas of Heaven and Man

#66 - Invitational Class

After instructing Chen Chuan for a while, Cheng Zitong said, "You are practicing the Zhou Yuan Strength Method, which, compared to other strength methods, doesn't have a specialized direction or obvious expression. In my humble opinion, that means you need to strengthen your foundation.

Besides training, there are also medications. In the past, herbs that could achieve these effects were very rare and hard to find. Fortunately, that's not a problem today; the only difference is the price. I'll prepare some for you later."

He took out a card from his briefcase and pushed it in front of him.

"The rewards for your two assignments have been issued. I've opened an account for you, and the money has been deposited. You can withdraw it at any time. If the medication costs exceed the amount, I'll deduct it from there. If it's not enough, I'll let you know."

Chen Chuan took it and said, "Thank you, Teacher."

Cheng Zitong reminded him, "Although you've mastered the strength method, remember to use it sparingly because each use puts a certain burden on your body. Although medication can repair it, there's no need to do so unless you encounter a dangerous situation."

Chen Chuan had his Second Self, so he didn't have to worry too much about the burden caused by the strength method. However, in front of Cheng Zitong, he still indicated that he had taken it to heart.

Cheng Zitong then became slightly more serious and said, "Besides these things, although your mutated tissue is restrained, it still needs to be observed for a few more days to see if its growth rate has slowed down. This is very important. We should know in a few days."

Chen Chuan said, "I will also pay attention, and I will inform the teacher in a timely manner if there are any changes."

Cheng Zitong said, "Don't be so nervous. Even if it grows, it will definitely go through a slow period. You don't have to be as tense as before at this stage."

After saying these things, his expression also relaxed a bit. "Now that you've mastered the strength method, I can also breathe a sigh of relief…" He smiled again. "It's been more than two months since school started, and you haven't attended any public or invited classes, have you?

It's best to attend one or two before the midterm, even if it's just to get by. Otherwise, if your name is missing from all the courses, although it won't be a big problem, someone might use it against you."

Chen Chuan said, "Then I will go once in the next few days."

After Cheng Zitong finished explaining everything he needed to, he left with satisfaction.

After he left, Chen Chuan took out his alarm clock and carefully felt the progress of time. This success with the Zhou Yuan Strength Method had indeed promoted the growth of his Second Self.

It had increased by more than seven minutes compared to before! Adding the previous scattered increases, the total now exceeds fifteen minutes.

Now that he had successfully mastered the strength method, he should be able to participate in more actual combat while continuing to strengthen himself, thereby obtaining more overlapping time.

He thought for a while, walked outside the dormitory, and when he returned, he had two invitation letters for invited classes in his hand.

Before, time was tight, and besides the necessary assignments and rest, he had no time to waste. Now that he had mastered the Zhou Yuan Strength Method, and Cheng Zitong had reminded him again, he could go to a class.

Invited classes are not limited to Class A or Class B students; it only depends on the teacher's willingness. However, most Class A students will receive an invitation, usually issued one day in advance.

One of the two invitations in his hand was for tomorrow's class, and the other was for this afternoon. He looked at it and saw that it was sent by a teacher named Xu Wei from the Chin Na Department. Since that was the case, he would go and listen to this teacher's lecture.

However, when he flipped through it, he saw a line of small characters inside the invitation letter, and after reading it, he raised his eyebrows.

He originally wanted to find Luo Kaiyuan and Feng Xiaoqi to have lunch together, but they were both gone. Wei Dong, who lived across the hall, also disappeared, probably training with their instructors. So, he ate lunch alone, went back to the dormitory to wash up, and walked towards the venue designated for the invited class.

After entering the Wu Yi Academy, this was the first time he had walked so leisurely on campus, enjoying the scenery.

Now that it was November, most of the maple trees on both sides had turned red, with golden and red colors intertwined. Leaves fell from time to time, and the autumn atmosphere was already very strong.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, he arrived at the designated venue, a semi-circular arena with a raised lecture platform at the front.

He arrived relatively early. It was still about twenty minutes before the class started, so he randomly found a seat in the middle near the aisle and sat down.

Before long, students also came in one after another, mostly girls. This was not surprising; the most female students were in the Military Combat and Chin Na departments.

At this time, a girl with boxing wraps on her hands, short, ear-length hair, and a white practice suit walked in. She was agile and walked lightly. Her appearance caused a burst of whispers.

"Look, isn't that Guan Xinyin?"

"Yes, Teacher Guan's daughter, a Class A student. I heard she ranks very high among the girls, is very skilled, and is also beautiful. It's only because today is Teacher Xu's class, otherwise, Class A students like her who usually have instructors wouldn't come."

"What about Class A students? Look at the tall male student sitting over there; isn't he also a Class A student?"

"Oh, right, that's also a Class A student."

Chen Chuan's senses had been very sharp since he started training, and now that he had obtained the strength method, he was even more sensitive. He knew that they were talking about him, but he didn't care too much.

Soon, he felt a gaze fall on him and immediately looked over, meeting a pair of clear black and white eyes. It was Guan Xinyin looking at him, so he politely nodded to her.

Guan Xinyin also nodded politely, as a greeting between two Class A students.

As students arrived one after another, the time was almost up. A young teacher in his early thirties walked up. This should be Teacher Xu Wei. His finger joints were thick, making people feel very powerful. His eyes were also very sharp, as if stabbing people with needles when he looked at them.

Xu Wei then said, "Hard Chin Na is most often combined with Sanshou, usually striking first and then grappling. However, in terms of grappling techniques, using wrestling and hugging combinations is more effective in arena matches. So today, we have invited Qiu Xin, a student from the Wrestling and Hugging Department, who is also a graduate of our Wu Yi Academy, to be my special assistant today."

As he spoke, he took the lead in applauding, and the students below also applauded lightly. After a while, a tall and strong man came up from the side. He was probably in his twenties, with a broad body and feet like cones, stepping on the ground silently, as if a very resilient big ball was supported on the water surface.

Qiu Xin first bowed to everyone and then said, "Today, I am fortunate to cooperate with Teacher Xu's course. I am not a teacher, and I am not good at lecturing. So, in order to be able to demonstrate intuitively, I need to invite a student to come up and cooperate."

"I'll come," a crisp voice sounded, and Guan Xinyin stood up and said, "I'll cooperate with Assistant Qiu."

Qiu Xin looked at her a few times and shook his head. His gaze seemed to fall on Chen Chuan inadvertently, and he said, "This classmate, can you come up and cooperate?"

Chen Chuan glanced at him and said, "I can." He got up from his seat, walked along the aisle next to him, and walked to the front stage under the gaze of a group of students.

Guan Xinyin looked at him and sat back down.

Chen Chuan came to Qiu Xin and asked, "Assistant Qiu, how do you want me to cooperate?"

Qiu Xin said, "It's just a simple demonstration. Ordinary students may not be able to protect themselves well, but I believe this student has no problem."

"In that case," Chen Chuan thought for a while and said, "I also have some questions when practicing wrestling and hugging, and I also have some techniques to ask Assistant Qiu for advice later. I wonder if that's okay?"

Qiu Xin happily said, "Of course, that's also possible."

After the two exchanged ideas, Xu Wei stepped back a little, giving the space to the two of them, and the students below watched with interest. Many of them were freshmen, and most people had not seen the true strength of Class A students, but this time they could see it.

Qiu Xin then stepped forward, grabbed Chen Chuan's shoulders and waist, and said, "Don't move, just like this. I'm going to demonstrate a spinning throw. Student Chen, please be careful to protect yourself."

Chen Chuan just looked at him calmly.

After Qiu Xin finished speaking, his eyes suddenly turned cold, his fingers tightened, and a burst of strength suddenly penetrated into Chen Chuan's body. Then, with his hand on the latter's shoulder, he suddenly turned around, came behind Chen Chuan, lifted him up with the other hand, and then slammed him down!

The platform shook suddenly, and many students below were shocked, with many people exclaiming. Guan Xinyin also frowned.

Qiu Xin then seemed stunned, looking very anxious, and ran a few steps forward, came to Xu Wei, and said to him, "Teacher Xu, I seem to have used too much force, call the medics quickly."

However, Xu Wei's expression was a little strange, standing there very silently, and the students under the stage were also surprisingly quiet.

Qiu Xin looked around, seemed to realize something, and took a step back.

And behind him, Chen Chuan's figure slowly stood up at this time. He raised his hand and straightened his cuffs, and said slowly, "Assistant Qiu, your strength seems to be too little."
