While Chen Chuan and Cai Si were talking, "Old Wu" came over and said to Cai Si , "Old Four , I've found out that the woman who attacked you was from Scarface's group. Although we sent a letter earlier to try and stabilize them, they were still uneasy, so they sent her out to keep an eye on the situation outside. While she was wandering around, she seemed to have seen our people going upstairs and wanted to call Scarface to warn them, but we cut the phone lines in advance, so she could only make some trouble to try and get Scarface's attention. Fortunately, Brother Wei was decisive and we acted quickly, so she didn't succeed." Cai Si thought about the situation and was also afraid, saying, "It was really close, if Scarface had escaped early..." Then he looked at Chen Chuan and said with a smile, "No, with Junior Chen here, he wouldn't have escaped anyway." Old Wu looked at Chen Chuan and agreed in his heart. Chen Chuan shook his head and said, "Brother Four, without everyone's help, I wouldn't have been able to stop him." This was both right and wrong, because he was able to launch such a smooth attack because he had been observing Scarface for a while. If a Martial Artist can grasp the opponent's information in advance, they can use various targeted methods. If they don't know anything about the opponent, they may have to fight hard for a while to figure out their style, but he has "Second Self' , he has a much higher fault tolerance rate than others, so the chances of winning are still very high. Wei Chang'an , after dealing with some matters, returned to find Chen Chuan as soon as possible and said to him, "I originally wanted to invite you for another meal this time, but there are still many things to take care of, especially to quickly interrogate Fang Dawei's group's whereabouts, so I may not have the time. I'll have to wait until there are accurate results before I can say for sure." Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Brother Wei, take care of your own business first, I'll owe you this meal." Wei Chang'an nodded and said, "I may need to call on you for the follow-up matters." Chen Chuan said, "Just call me then, Brother Wei." Wei Chang'an called Cai Si , threw the car keys to him, and said, "Old Four , Old Wu is here. You drive my car and take Junior Chen back." Cai Si caught them and said, "Understood." Chen Chuan said, "No need, Brother Wei, you're busy here, I can go back by myself." Wei Chang'an held his shoulder, shook his head at him, and said solemnly, "Listen to me this time." Then he patted him hard. After this incident, he no longer regarded Chen Chuan as a junior he needed to take care of, but as an equal partner. Given the martial strength Chen Chuan showed, his status may even be a bit higher. Seeing him so insistent, Chen Chuan didn't decline and nodded, saying, "Okay." Cai Si immediately went to where the car was parked, drove the car to the cleared intersection, picked up Chen Chuan , and drove towards the Academy. This arrest operation started at ten o'clock, and by the time Chen Chuan returned, it was not yet twelve o'clock. After separating from Cai Si , he got out of the car and went to the dormitory's public telephone, first calling Cheng Zitong to tell him that the matter had ended smoothly and he had returned. Because there were people coming and going around at this time, he couldn't say much, but he briefly explained the situation and hung up. It was lunchtime, so he went to the cafeteria for lunch and then returned to the dormitory. After defeating Scarface , he could feel that the Merge time between "Second Self" and himself had increased. The specific amount of time still needed to be determined. He hadn't returned the watch he borrowed from Little Aunt "s uncle last time, so he directly used the watch to count the seconds. After trying it, he found that it had increased by at least five minutes this time. So the total Merge time should have reached more than twenty minutes. If it were just two Martial Artists fighting, that would be more than enough. But he may face more complex situations in the future, even encountering several battles in a day, so once Second Self can't provide assistance, his combat power will drop sharply, which may even affect his life, so for him, this time is far from enough and he needs to continue working hard. However, this time he also felt the importance of the Weapon Permit. If he had a handy weapon, he wouldn't have had to go to so much trouble. But the restrictions on this aspect are very strict, especially for people from Wuyi. Among the people present at the time, only Wei Chang'an had a Weapon Permit. The others either had to skirt the edges or were useless even with weapons due to their own lack of martial strength. Without training in Strength Technique, even if you take a Weapon, it poses almost no threat to someone like Scarface who can't even be hurt by guns. Of course, there are people who carry Weapons privately, after all, the authorities don't have the ability to keep an eye on everyone, but in this kind of official pursuit, it is impossible to take them out openly. He thought for a while, went into the bedroom, took out the Snow Emperor Blade, and came to the public training ground outside. After standing there, he placed the scabbard flat, slightly lifted the blade with his left thumb, revealing a section of the bright blade, and then used his thumb joint to exert force again, the entire blade flew out instantly. At the same time, he stepped forward, grabbed the hilt with his right hand, swung it forward, took a step forward with his back foot, held the hilt with both hands and slashed, then moved his foot again and thrust the blade forward! The bright blade gleamed in the light. He twisted his waist and turned, sheathed the knife on his shoulder, retreated two steps, and then performed a series of upward slashes, chops, and thrusts. This set of movements filled the training ground with knife energy and flickering cold light. Although he had not had this knife for long, and Cheng Zitong had only taught him some basic knife moves, he practiced every day. In fact, both knife and fist moves depend on physical fitness, so now he performs them quickly and steadily. The only thing he lacks is actual combat experience. In fact, there are some questions he wants to ask Cheng Zitong , but this teacher seems to be a bit busy recently, so he can only wait. At this time, in the North Peak Flower Garden villa, Xiao Ran was sparring with a sparring partner. After successfully starting training, his progress in these days has been especially rapid. The sparring partner was originally a bit stronger than him, but now he was being beaten helplessly, and finally fell down painfully with a heavy kick to the abdomen. Xiao Ran curled his lips and said with disdain, "Useless." He waved his hand, and the maid next to him, not surprised, immediately ordered the attendants to carry the person down. Xiao Ran walked to a guidance teacher and said, "Teacher Feng , how do you think I am now?" This Teacher Feng was hired with a lot of money. Unlike the guidance teachers in the school, he accompanied him alone 24 hours a day and was responsible for guiding his training. Teacher Feng said, "Xiao Ran, your progress is very fast. In about sixty to seventy days, you will be able to start practicing Strength Technique." "That's so long." Xiao Ran thought for a while and suddenly asked with interest, "There is a student in the school who can defeat more than a dozen Senior Students just by relying on Breathing Technique before learning Strength Technique. What level is this person? Can I do it?" Teacher Feng pondered for a moment and said, "That should be a student with innate talent. People without talent cannot be compared with those who have talent." "Talent." Xiao Ran rarely became envious, because this is something that is innate and cannot be obtained with money and Power. Teacher Feng comforted him, "Don't compare yourself with them, because civilians can only rely on their own bodies, and they have nothing else besides these. And whether it is talent or aptitude, it is limited. On the road to going up, countless resources are needed, and you are born with these." "But I don't have talent..." Xiao Ran was still a little concerned. Teacher Feng said, "It's not impossible to solve. There is a way to close the gap between you and these naturally talented people in a short period of time." Xiao Ran's eyes lit up: "What way?" Teacher Feng said: "Implant." "Implant?" seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Xiao Ran was a little disappointed, curled his lips, and said, "My family's bodyguards have implanted those things, but they're just so-so, and there are many restrictions. And isn't it said that those things damage the body? They keep reminding me that my body is precious." Teacher Feng said, "Those on the market, whether military or civilian, are outdated by one or several generations. Now in Central City, the side effects of high-end Implants are not so great. Some technologies can achieve perfect integration with the body. As long as you can pay enough wealth, you can easily offset the hard work of those Martial Combat experts for more than ten years." "Central City..." Xiao Ran also showed a look of longing. Even if he is a Power's son, it is not easy to gain a foothold in Central City, unless he gets a recommendation from the Academy. At this time, he seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Isn't it said that the school has Central City teachers coming every year? It's been almost two months, why haven't they arrived yet?" Teacher Feng slowly said, "No, the person has actually arrived and is in the school, now guiding a student's training." "Who? Guiding who?" Xiao Ran also widened his eyes. Teacher Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, but the person he is currently guiding should be a Senior Student among the recommended students. Whether a lower-grade student can be favored by him depends both on whether the student has shown enough Potential and on whether he is in the mood." …… ……
