Atlas of Heaven and Earth

On Gong Zhanyi's side, seeing the people from the Processing Bureau approaching, he sat back in the car and had the manager go up to make contact.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the manager came back, got into the car, and said to him, "Young Master, they are indeed only here for Xiong Jian Yi . Your subordinate has already told them that we didn't know there was such a wanted criminal here, and later, fearing he might harm Young Master, we chose to kill him."

Gong Zhanyi asked, "As long as it's explained, let's keep going."

After the convoy resumed its journey, he spoke again a few minutes later, "Who killed Xiong Jian Yi ?"

The manager was looking at something with the Boundary Token and replied after a moment, "Young Master, it was Zuo San; he fired the shot that hit Xiong Jian's head."

Gong Zhanyi said, "Good, that's good; it's better it was one of our people." His expression suddenly relaxed a bit. "It's not a bad thing that Xiong Jianyi is dead now; they probably won't pay attention to us anymore."

The manager said, "The Processing Bureau will probably still be watching us. Their people told us just now that we shot and killed Xiong Jian Yi and are also suspected of trying to harm their team members. They want us to take responsibility for this."

Gong Zhanyi thought for a moment and said, "Give the Processing Bureau some compensation to suppress this matter, lest they use this as an excuse to keep an eye on us. Talk to them about it later."

The manager respectfully agreed.

The person on the other end said, "Take a look at this first."

Ni Qianxi looked at the image sent over. She was surprised to find it was full of explosive drugs, all of which had been taken. "Could it be that he…"

"Yes, he took them all."

Ni Qianxi said in surprise, "But he looks perfectly fine to me."

The person on the other end said, "He seems fine for now, which only means his constitution can adapt to these Drugs, but this isn't a good thing. Just because he's fine now doesn't mean he'll be fine later. You need to remind him to be careful in the future and not push himself so hard."

"Oh, is the sun rising in the west? Are you concerned about a newcomer?"

The person on the other end said in a deep voice, "He is willing to go all out like this, which means he identifies with us. That makes him a comrade, so of course, we should take care of him."

Ni Qianxi said, "So, the bureau has approved his Examination?"

"Although I couldn't see his specific performance due to energy field interference, the results are excellent enough."

Ni Qianxi snorted twice and said, "I told you he was better than investing in those other two students . If you ask me, the bureau should focus its investment on him. The other two students haven't performed as brilliantly as Little Brother Chen."

The person on the other end didn't take up the conversation, only saying, "You explain the follow-up matters to him. Let's leave it at that for now."

After leaving the ambush site, Chen Chuan was also recalling the battle just now.

In terms of Strength, Xiong Jian Yi was actually not as good as Instructor Wu . He should have just entered the Third Limit not long ago. In that case, Chen Chuan , at his full power, would have been able to break through and kill him in a few moves.

However, during the fight just now, he felt a strange sensation, as if Xiong Jian Yi was injured and couldn't fully exert himself. Even without the injury, the outcome wouldn't have changed, but the Counterattack's intensity might have been much greater.

The problem was that for a Third Limit Martial Artist , ordinary injuries wouldn't cause much of an Influence. Even if he had only just entered the Third Limit, the injuries would have to be severe to Influence his combat power.

But Xiong Jian Yi clearly looked intact. Was it an internal injury? Or was it related to the fading aura he felt at the end?

While he was pondering, he heard a notification sound, discovering that perhaps he had left the interference zone. The Boundary Token had returned to normal, and Wu Bei and Ni Qianxi were both trying to contact him.

He first greeted Wu Bei and then connected with Ni Qianxi .

Ni Qianxi said in a praising tone, "I knew you could do it, Little Brother Chen. You took care of Xiong Jian Yi in no time. Well done!"

Chen Chuan said, "Xiong Jian Yi was ultimately killed by the Gong Family's people."

Ni Qianxi said, "I already know. The Gong family finished him off because they wanted to quickly clear their names. They shot at you too, right? Wait for it, the Processing Bureau will make them give an explanation… Hmm, the bureau's documents. Confirm that you've received them…"

Chen Chuan saw a document sent to the contact interface, showing that the mission target had been eliminated. His name was above as the executor, waiting for his confirmation.

He immediately confirmed it, and then there was an internal notification informing him that the mission had been completed. He was then instructed to return and await orders, pending a routine interview in the near future.

Ni Qianxi said, "Alright, no need to read further. It's just going through the prescribed procedure. The rest has nothing to do with you. By the way, we recommended several Skill teachers to you before. Have you chosen one yet?"

Chen Chuan said, "I'll decide today."

The school had given him three days to choose a teacher to improve his Swordsmanship Skills, and today was the last day. However, he had already carefully considered it and decided to learn from one of the teachers .

Ni Qianxi said, "Okay, handle it yourself. Also, you can go to this place in a few days." As she spoke, she sent an address.

"This is the teacher we arranged for you, who will guide you in all aspects of Cultivation. You should enter the Third Limit as soon as possible. Even if you can withstand it, you can't rely solely on taking Drugs every time."

Chen Chuan thanked her and ended the contact. He knew that the fact he intentionally left those drugs behind for the Processing Bureau to see would provide a reasonable explanation for his Strength.

However, he felt that the Xiong Jian Yi incident might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Especially...

Just as he was thinking, a familiar car pulled up in front of him. The window rolled down, and Old Qi inside greeted him, "Little Brother Chen, Little Brother Wu asked me to pick you up."

Chen Chuan immediately contacted Wu Bei and said, "Little Brother Wu, thanks."

Wu Bei chuckled. Because of the energy field interference just now, he hadn't been able to see the specific process or compete with the technical personnel on the other side. He felt a little disappointed, but thinking that following Chen Chuan would surely bring more such opportunities in the future, he perked up again.

After Chen Chuan got into the car, he thanked Old Qi , who said, "No need to thank me." Then, he started the car and drove towards Martial Determination District.

Chen Chuan asked, "Old Qi , has your daughter started school?"

"She has," Old Qi said with a smile. "I have to thank you, Little Brother Chen, for giving me a sum of money so I could pay the tuition in time."

"That's good."

At this time, Chen Chuan looked at the Boundary Token and contacted the Academy's platform. He found one of the teachers that the Processing Bureau had recommended to him before.

He asked, "Is this Teacher Zheng ? I am student Chen Chuan , and I would like to learn Swordsmanship from you."

After a while, a hearty laugh came from the other end.

"Student Chen , I heard that you completed a mission for the bureau today, and you did it all by yourself without any assistance. Good, well done! Those of us who practice the blade must have this kind of courage! I'll take you as my student. I won't hold anything back, and I hope you can learn all my skills as soon as possible."

Chen Chuan felt reassured and immediately confirmed the matter on the school's interface platform. Then, he asked, "I wonder when Teacher Zheng is generally available?"

Teacher Zheng said, "If you have time, you can come now… Well, you just finished a mission, so let's call it a day. Rest well, and I'll send over a demonstration. You can try to figure it out yourself first."

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, thank you, Teacher Zheng ."

The Processing Bureau initially recommended four teachers to him. When he looked at the introductions later, the other teachers were all displaying various Gao Ming Skills, but this one only slashed out with his blade towards the Boundary Token.

It was just a straight slash, but it gave him the feeling that the blade was about to cut through the Boundary Token and land on him, even creating a sense of wanting to back away and dodge, no matter how many times he watched it.

The other teachers clearly didn't have this kind of threatening aura, so he decided to choose this one. Regardless of whether the others also had this means, at least this one was willing to show it to him.

At this time, he looked at the Wuyi emblem that Teacher Zheng had sent. The usage here seemed to be…

At the same time, the Gong Family convoy had arrived at Ferris Wheel Corporation.

In a luxurious room, Gong Zhanyi exclaimed in anger, "What? It's gone?" He looked at the manager. "What's going on? How could it be gone?"

The thing was clearly on Xiong Jian Yi's body before. If our people killed him, then it should be on our people. How could it run away on its own?"

How much preparation had they made this time to avoid Central City's surveillance? They had even used Xiong Jian Yi , a wanted criminal, as a carrier to transport this thing into Central City. This was a crucial step. Without this thing, many subsequent things couldn't be done.

The manager asked, "Young Master, could it be the people from the Processing Bureau?"

"Impossible!"

Gong Zhanyi said, "Xiong Jian Yi was clearly not dead at that time. How could the thing have gotten into his hands?"

The manager thought for a moment and said, "Young Master, after getting off the ship, Xiong Jian Yi met with his senior brother, Wei Wusheng from Heavens' Forgiveness Gang. Could there have been a mistake at that time?"

"Heavens' Forgiveness Gang…"

Gong Zhanyi frowned. This was indeed the only possible place where a mistake could have occurred. He said in a deep voice, "Go investigate this person, and remember to be careful not to leak any information."

After Chen Chuan returned to Mysterious Palace Tower by car and said goodbye to Old Qi , he took the elevator back to his dormitory. He first washed up and then went to the private training room, his gaze fixed on the emblem through the Boundary Token.

After a while, Hong Fu's voice sounded in his ear, "Student Chen , a teaching demonstration is currently in progress. According to your student Evaluation points, your available time is one hour per day. Would you like to enable it?"

Chen Chuan said, "Enable."

As his voice fell, looking through the Boundary Token, Teacher Zheng's figure appeared in front of him, demonstrating Swordsmanship moves, as if he were really there.

He couldn't help but nod. This kind of teaching demonstration was much more intuitive than images. Even if the other person wasn't there, he could observe some changes in strength and rhythm through this.

He reached out and picked up Snow Emperor Blade, walked to the side, and prepared to try practicing. However, this time, as soon as he pulled the blade out a little, the figure in front of him shook slightly, as if it had been interfered with.

He reacted quickly and immediately put the knife back, and the shaking image returned to normal again.

Carefully sensing it, something foreign seemed to have appeared on Snow Emperor Blade at this moment, and it appeared at the moment of Xiong Jian Yi's death.

What could it be?

He gripped the hilt and slowly pulled it out again.
