Atlas of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 45: Teacher and Student

Cheng Zitong could hear a sincere and heartfelt excitement in the student's words.

No student had ever reacted this way upon hearing the truth about Martial Arts. He thought to himself, "What a special student. This is good, very good!"

Because only in this way can one face this matter with a more positive attitude, and only then can the impossible be made possible.

To be honest, he wasn't sure about this matter.

Because the time left was too short. Judging from the progress of Chen Chuan's Mutated Tissue, the time he had given might be shortened even further. What he said earlier was just to avoid putting too much pressure on the student.

But now, he wasn't too worried about that.

He said, "Alright! From today on, I will start guiding your specific training. You don't need to worry about some public activities in the school. I will help you decline them. No matter what, those are not as important as your own life."

Chen Chuan nodded. He thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Cheng, I have a question I'd like to ask."

"Go ahead."

Chen Chuan said, "I heard that learning Internal energy is quite difficult and not everyone can master it. So, how does the school deal with those students who cannot restrain their Mutated Tissue in time?"

Cheng Zitong said, "Actually, not all Mutated Tissue grows endlessly. It is phased. Some people stop growing when they reach a certain Limit, or even stagnate for life, so there is no such problem.

So, most mediocre people don't actually have this opportunity. The most common situation is like what I gave you in the Data, where you can go to the hospital for surgery and be done with it.

And in order to gain stronger martial power, some people will use Drugs to stimulate growth, hoping to continue promoting the growth of Mutated Tissue, which has led to the development of many Drugs.

Only those with innate talent like you may experience continuous growth of Mutated Tissue in several stages, but while gaining great potential, the risk also increases."

Chen Chuan nodded. He thought for a moment and asked again, "Teacher Cheng, will the students in the school be clearly informed about this matter?"

Cheng Zitong laughed and said, "This kind of thing is not allowed to be told to you students in school. There is no need for those without talent to know. Everyone who knows will sign a Non-disclosure Agreement during their time in school to avoid influencing students' studies and causing external chaos.

But I don't care about that. Since I am going to be your guiding teacher, I have a responsibility to explain these things clearly to my student, so that they know what they are doing. Just don't reveal it to the outside world. We can talk about the agreement later."

Chen Chuan looked at him, thinking, Teacher Cheng, you just said that you volunteered to be the guiding teacher, but he won't call you out. He didn't mind that. He took a breath and asked, "Teacher Cheng, when will my training start?"

Cheng Zitong said, "Don't worry, things have to be done step by step." He took out a carbon copy form from his briefcase, "Sign this, and I'll send it to the Recruitment and Preparation Office for filing. Then you will be my student. I will be responsible for everything during your guidance. But this thing has no binding force. If you think I am not doing my job well enough, or my level is not high enough, you can apply to change people after a month."

Chen Chuan took it and wrote his name on it without hesitation, then handed it back to Cheng Zitong.

Cheng Zitong also signed his name, tore off the top sheet, and returned the bottom one to Chen Chuan, saying, "Okay, from now on I am officially your guiding teacher. I believe I can be a good teacher, not because of how high my level is, but because other teachers have at least a few or a dozen students, and I only have you as a student. If I can't guide you well, I'm too incompetent."

Chen Chuan took the form and asked, "Teacher Cheng, I haven't asked yet, which department are you from in the school?"

Cheng Zitong put on his decorative Sunglasses and smiled slightly, saying, "I came from the Military Combat Department, but now I'm in the Logistics Department."

Chen Chuan was a little surprised, "Logistics Department?"

Cheng Zitong smiled and said, "What? Do you look down on the Logistics Department? Aren't the teachers in the Logistics Department teachers, and can't they be your guiding teacher?"

He pointed to himself, "Your teacher, I have a proper guiding teacher qualification certificate, and let me tell you, I am the deputy supervisor of the Logistics Department. In Wuyi, everyone has to give me some Face."

Chen Chuan looked at his somewhat round and wealthy face, thinking, I can see that.

Cheng Zitong didn't know what he was thinking, raised his briefcase, and then went to pick up his clothes. After thinking about it, he simply threw them on the sofa, saying, "I'll go to the pharmacy to get you some medicine first. Cultivating Internal energy also requires Drugs to cooperate with. Wait for me to come back here."

Chen Chuan responded. At this moment, he remembered one thing and said, "Teacher Cheng, can you please bring some Kai Lian Powder? I have a friend who also needs to start training and needs these things."

Cheng Zitong said, "That's easy. This medicine is not expensive. By the way, let me tell you first, to prevent students from abusing it, the medicine I will give you later is a fixed amount every semester, so if you exceed the amount, you can only pay for it yourself. I estimate that you may exceed the amount, but your teacher has channels and will find a way to get you a bottom price… No need to see me off, the pharmacy is not far away, I'll be back soon. You student, you're just too polite."

After Chen Chuan sent him out, he turned back and walked slowly in the living room. He thought of a question, that is, the Mutated Tissue on his body should have been formed by the long-term and uninterrupted stimulation of the basic Breathing Technique. It should have been stimulated after birth and is completely different from what others have innately.

So strictly speaking, he is not actually the kind of person with "innate talent." In that case, if he reduces the time of the Breathing Technique or pauses it, will it weaken or stop the process of heteromorphism?

No, he won't do that.

Because according to Teacher Cheng's statement, it is obvious that this kind of heteromorphism is divided into stages. Once a stage of rapid growth has passed, then it may stagnate.

And some people may have to use Drugs to stimulate it again because the next stage may not come, so that it can grow again.

But this thing depends on talent. Once it stagnates, it is likely to end there and there will be no next stage of growth. He is not sure if he is like this, so he must not actively restrict it, but instead try to maintain it, and even accelerate it!

As for the progress of learning and training, with "Second Self", he is confident that he can catch up.

In any case, he should do everything possible to master Internal energy!

It was only half an hour before Cheng Zitong came back. He threw a pack of medicine powder to Chen Chuan, saying, "Kai Lian Powder, Drugs technology has been improving. Now the medicine powder is more refined than before. This pack is enough for two people, but the medicinal properties are still so strong. Tell your friend to be careful when using it and don't take too much."

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

Cheng Zitong said, "Don't be polite to your teacher." He took out two more packs of medicine. "These are the pills and medicine powder for external application and internal use to cooperate with your new Breathing Technique and Internal energy training. These are enough for you to use for a month. Use them first, and we'll talk about the next stage later.

By the way, I didn't take some inhibitory Drugs. That thing can slightly inhibit the growth of your Mutated Tissue. It's better than nothing, but I think it's best to rely on yourself to exercise and grow. The greater the disadvantages, the greater the benefits that will be converted in the future, so don't use it if you can. If it really doesn't work, we'll talk about it."

Chen Chuan decisively said, "No need, Teacher Cheng, I won't use it."

Cheng Zitong said, "Okay, our time is very tight. It is very difficult to practice Internal energy in two or three months. Most students take several months to a year to adapt to the Breathing Technique, and then one to two years to pursue the Internal energy that suits them and build their own combat system. This still refers to elite students. It's fast enough for ordinary students."

Speaking of this, he solemnly said, "Now I will teach you a set of Qiaoxi Breathing Technique. This will further stimulate your Potential and accelerate the growth of your Mutated Tissue. This may be very uncomfortable, but this is a necessary prerequisite for practicing Internal energy, so it cannot be omitted. You have to be mentally prepared."
