Atlas of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 97: Qualification



After Chen Chuan returned to his room, he closed the door naturally, as if the Martial Combat just now was as ordinary as eating and drinking.

He first washed up and changed his clothes. After walking out, he found that Jing Lin was no longer there. Only some students were still excitedly discussing it. They nodded and greeted him when they saw him.

He came to the public telephone here. The dormitory teacher looked at him helplessly and said, "Chen , don't vent your anger on the wall in the future. A lot of the paint on the wall has been wiped off."

Chen Chuan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, teacher ."

The dormitory teacher smiled, "Well, you can face the floor in the future. It doesn't matter if it's damaged a bit more, so I can report it, right?"

Chen Chuan also smiled. After the dormitory teacher walked away, he picked up the phone and called Cheng Zitong .

After the call connected, he said, "Teacher , I just met someone who claimed to be from Central City and said he wanted to take me to see his teacher ."

Cheng Zitong "s voice became serious, "Where is he? When was this? Did you agree?"

"I didn't agree." Chen Chuan briefly explained what happened just now.

Cheng Zitong said in a deep voice, "I understand. If this person comes to you again, you can just refuse. Remember, this is Yangzhi City Wuyi Academy, not some Central City. I have something to do here and can't leave. If you have any questions, you can directly call Supervisor Gao of the Recruitment and Preparation Office. He will help you solve it."

Chen Chuan said okay.

After Cheng Zitong hung up the phone, he turned his head to talk to the person on the opposite sofa, but found that the person was gone.

After Chen Chuan put down the phone, he looked at his watch. It didn't take much time just now, but he was delayed a bit when washing up, but it wasn't meal time yet.

He took the elevator downstairs and walked towards the cafeteria. On the way, he recalled the battle just now. Jing Lin was a little different. It seemed like he had broken free from the shackles of breathing and promoted Mutated Tissue, but he didn't think this performance was anything great.

According to his observation, the teachers in the Academy also have this level, unless Jing Lin has some extra skills, or he is simply too arrogant.

He didn't want to see that teacher because he didn't believe in the so-called opportunity. If that were the case, Cheng Zitong would have told him long ago.

Moreover, Cheng Zitong is his guiding teacher , so this kind of thing definitely can't be bypassed, at least he needs to be informed, but the other party bypassed Cheng Zitong and came directly to him, and there was no respect in his words.

It was a deep-rooted arrogance.

While thinking, he unknowingly arrived at the cafeteria. He temporarily put the matter behind him and continued training in the dormitory after eating.

Two more days passed like this, and it was the holiday at the end of the month. He went home. Nian Fuli was still not there. According to Yu Wan , he had been burdened with many tasks recently. However, Nian Fuli not only didn't feel tired, but was full of energy.

Chen Chuan could probably guess some of the reasons. He smiled and took out the stack of tickets, saying, "Little aunt , these were given by the Academy teacher . Little aunt and uncle can take your younger cousins to watch."

Yu Wan looked at the stack of tickets and was a little surprised. The Da Shun Republic of China has a strong martial arts culture, and everyone is very enthusiastic about Arena tournaments, but the citizens of Yangzhi City can usually only watch the competitions in various boxing gyms, but neither the scale nor the competitive level, nor even the duration can compare with Wuyi.

Although underground arenas like Bloodstain Gang and Iron Chain Gang have a higher competitive level, they are not only bloody and exposed, but also not places that ordinary citizens can go to. Therefore, the annual Arena tournament at the end of the year for Wuyi Academy students is the most popular. In previous years, tickets were hard to come by. Unexpectedly, Chen Chuan was able to bring back so many at once.

Some of these tickets can be distributed to the neighbors, and they can go to the Arena tournament together.

"Chan'er , little aunt will accept this."

"Chan'er , I want it too, I want it too." Nian Mo jumped around.

Yu Wan grabbed her youngest son's ear and taught him, "Isn't the stuff your cousin brought back last time enough for you to play with? Also, how many times have I told you, don't call your older brother by his nickname."

"I'm polite, I'm polite, I always call him older brother." Nian Lu raised her small face, her small expression full of "come and praise me'.

Yu Wan patted Nian Mo "s butt, "Your younger sister is much more sensible than you."

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "I'll bring you some next time." Nian Lu immediately said sensibly, "Thank you, brother."

After spending the night at home, when he got up the next day, it was already December. Although there was still a month before the New Year, every household had already started decorating.

After Chen Chuan had breakfast, he said goodbye to Yu Wan and went directly back to school. After entering the school gate, he could hear the neat running sounds and slogans from the B-grade student training ground. Some A-grade students on the road were also in a hurry. They just nodded to each other as a greeting when they met.

In a few days, the B-grade students will have the arena selection, and the A-grade students need to worry about the final exams. Every year at this time, it is the most stressful time for Wuyi Academy students.

On the contrary, he had a leisurely appearance with his hands in his pockets, walking slowly in the school.

Back at the dormitory, he changed his clothes and went to the fencing training hall he often went to. The management teacher here was already very familiar with him. He only needed to nod and say hello each time he entered.

However, today he felt that this teacher was a little different from usual. When he came in, he kept looking forward, as if he didn't see him.

He thought for a while and continued to walk inside. After pushing the door open, he saw that the spacious training ground was empty. The students who used to train here were all gone. Only a tall and slender man with a smile on his face was standing there.

The moment he came in, he guessed the identity of this man, but he didn't retreat because of it. Instead, he turned around and closed the two doors behind him again, and came to stand in front of this man.

The man looked at him with interest and said, "You are very sharp. I felt that your pace slowed down a little when you entered the venue for a moment. You should have noticed that something was different today, but you still came in. Is it because you trust the school environment or because you have confidence in yourself?"

Chen Chuan thought for a while and said, "Both."

The man said, "Very interesting. Your confidence should have been accumulated through surviving one fight after another and defeating opponents one after another. Very good."

Chen Chuan could understand the man's gaze. It was like evaluating an item that was open to discussion, as if he was in a state of uncertainty between something that could be abandoned and acquired at any time, and he was enjoying this pleasure of measurement.

This attitude undoubtedly placed himself in a very high position, which was also a kind of arrogance, although it was different from Jing Lin "s way of expressing it, there was no difference in essence.

He said, "It seems he is indeed your student."

"Student?"

The man seemed a little surprised and amused, "Wrong, he is just a toy of mine."

A hint of mischief rose from the corner of his mouth, "He is an illegitimate child who was often abused by the heir when he was a child, but he was reluctant to leave his home because even if he was beaten, scolded, and abused, he lived better than most of the civilians and 99% of the people in the slums of Central City.

His heart yearns to be superior, yearns for revenge, yearns to trample those who used to beat, scold and abuse him under his feet, so I gave him a chance, because I really want to see how this drama will be performed next.

Watching a play requires buying tickets, so I don't hesitate to give him some pointers, but I can't give him too much, because that would be too boring. You know, in Central City, he was a timid person who didn't even dare to speak loudly to people, but now that he's outside, he's become arrogant, reserved, and aloof. This is so interesting."

Chen Chuan said, "So, are you looking for me for the same reason?"

"No, no, no." The man immediately denied, "I won't watch other plays before I finish watching one play. Originally, I just had a whim to meet you and see if you are really as impressive as the newspaper boasted, but after Jing Lin came back, I learned about your past. I found that you meet my requirements very well."

"Requirements?"

The man looked at him and said, "People like you who come from small places are just seeking an opportunity to formally gain a foothold in Central City. As a Wuyi student, there are only two ways to go to Central City.

One is to pass the exam to enter the Main Academy, but this quota is very limited and almost never occurs outside of recommended students. The other, which is more practical for you, is to establish a personal dependency relationship with someone who has the qualification to go to Central City and enter there as a servant, but this opportunity is not available to everyone. If you are not good enough, no one will look up to you.

Whether it is what you have done in the past or the Strength you showed in defeating my toy not long ago, it proves your personal ability. You have this qualification.

So, as long as you agree to be my servant, well, in name, you will be my student's sparring partner, then you can go to Central City with me."

He smiled playfully again, "Are you having trouble making a decision? It doesn't matter. I have always been tolerant to talented people. I will give you two days. You can come to me after you have thought about it."

After speaking, he walked outside.

Chen Chuan said, "May I know your name?"

"Tan Wang ."

Tan Wang walked past him, opened the door, turned around and said, "I forgot to say, I don't like being rejected. Enjoy this holiday." After speaking, he walked out directly.

Chen Chuan stood in the empty venue and thought for a while, then walked out after a while.

After Tan Wang left the training hall, he went directly back to the villa in the heart of the lake, but as soon as he walked into the training hall, he narrowed his eyes, because he saw someone sitting on his usual sofa.

This was a lion-like man, with a wide mouth and a large nose, and his loose hair scattered over his shoulders. His broad and strong physique seemed to bend the sofa. He was wearing a waist-tight training suit, revealing distinct muscles. His strong body seemed to possess a soul-stirring Strength, which could make people feel suffocated even from this distance.

He narrowed his long eyes, "Who are you?"

The man slowly stood up from the sofa, and with this action, a more powerful sense of oppression suddenly arose, and he answered in a broad and powerful voice, "He Xiaoxing ."
