Atlas of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 62: The Same Rain

After entering the building, Chen Chuan thought for a moment and went to the public telephone to call Cheng Zitong, saying, "Teacher, I'm back."

Cheng Zitong's voice came from the telephone receiver: "How was it? Did it go smoothly?"

Chen Chuan said, "It went very smoothly. Senior Brother Ren taught me a lot."

"Xiao Tian is very experienced. Don't be fooled by his wild name; he's very meticulous in his work. You won't be at a disadvantage following him. Oh, and also, now that you're back safely, you can get your reward. I'll talk to Xiao Tian later."

Chen Chuan said, "Teacher, I didn't do much this time."

Cheng Zitong said, "Don't say that, and don't feel guilty. These Assigned Missions of Xiao Tian's are different with or without someone helping. Even if you're just sitting there the whole time, you have your purpose. The key is trust, you know?

Having someone you can trust to watch your back at a critical moment gives you a lot of confidence. Even if you're incredibly strong, some people will get ideas if they see you alone, especially some idiots who like to do that kind of thing."

Chen Chuan readily agreed, saying, "Teacher, I'll follow your arrangements."

"That's right. I'll arrange an Assigned Mission for you every ten days this month. Try your best to complete the assignments. It might not always be following Xiao Tian; you might have to do them alone. The main thing is to help you accumulate some experience and earn some rewards along the way.

With your physical condition, you'll definitely need more medicine than others, so you need to prepare more money."

Chen Chuan deeply agreed. Even if Cheng Zitong could get him the bottom price, the cost would still be considerable with the large quantity of drugs, so he should save more in preparation for unforeseen needs.

After making the call, he took the elevator upstairs to Zone A. He saw that the door to Dorm 2 across the hall was open, and there were some things that looked like they had just been moved in. He had seen these things before and couldn't help but smile. He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

With a whoosh, a figure darted out from the inner room and exclaimed in surprise when he saw him, "Little Brother Chen!"

Chen Chuan smiled and greeted him, "Little Brother Wei, long time no see."

"Long time?" Wei Dong asked, a little puzzled. He scratched his head and then said, "I guess it has been a while."

Chen Chuan said with a smile, "Not long, just two months. What's this? Have you moved all of your old man's stuff here?"

Wei Dong said, "I'm not used to the stuff in the school; I prefer using my own things. I've moved most of the big stuff over, and I'll finish moving the small stuff in a few days.

By the way, Little Brother Chen, how did you find me? I couldn't find you."

Chen Chuan stepped aside and pointed to Dorm 4 across the hall, saying, "Look, I live there."

Wei Dong came out, peeked his head out and took a look, and then realized, "So you live diagonally across from me. No wonder I haven't seen you."

Chen Chuan said silently in his heart, Little Brother Wei, besides looking ahead when you walk, you should also pay attention to both sides.

Wei Dong retreated back inside and said, "Don't just stand at the door, come in."

As soon as Chen Chuan entered, he saw a basket of soda in the corner. It seemed that everyone of this age liked to drink this kind of Shazhen soda.

He looked around and said, "You're moving so much stuff, why didn't you ask the classmates in the nearby dorms for help or something?"

Wei Dong shook his head and said, "I don't like them."

Chen Chuan understood. Although he had been training all the time for the past two months, he had learned from eating with Feng Xiaoqi and Luo Kaiyuan that the guys in the opposite dorm often went out with some senior students from the Mutual Aid Society, so they had probably joined the Mutual Aid Society.

Although joining didn't necessarily mean they were hostile, the Mutual Aid Society wasn't a charity. If you enjoyed the benefits, they would naturally ask for something in return, and some things would become involuntary. So, if there was nothing to be done, staying away was also an option.

After quickly arranging everything, Wei Dong ran back excitedly and said, "Little Brother Chen, how about we have another match?"

He raised his fist and said, "I've been training hard recently and should be able to catch up with you."

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Okay."

Wei Dong waved his hand excitedly, "Let's go!" He said, running out.

Chen Chuan followed him out.

Two minutes later.

Wei Dong had bruises all over his face and was lying on his back, staring at the ceiling.

Chen Chuan stretched his wrist and said with a smile, "Little Brother Wei, you've improved."

Wei Dong jumped up like a carp, squatted there, and asked happily, "Improved?"

Chen Chuan affirmed, "Yes."

To be honest, Wei Dong had improved a lot in his moves. He must have always trained by himself before, but now that he was sparring with people, he was improving quickly.

And his ability to withstand hits had also improved significantly. At first, he wanted to hold back, but Wei Dong was able to withstand it. It wasn't until he let go that he was able to knock him down.

He asked curiously, "Little Brother Wei, who is your instructor?"

Wei Dong said, "Teacher Guan from the Free-Fighting Department."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and immediately remembered him. He was an instructor who was extremely good at Iron Body Training Strength Technique, but in this era, no matter how good you were at Iron Body Training, you couldn't do anything against a gun without protective measures, so few people chose it.

However, that was the case under normal circumstances. With Mutated Tissue, it was hard to say.

Wei Dong touched his fist and said, "The teacher said I can start training in a few days. I'll compete with you again then!"

Chen Chuan readily said, "Okay!"

After chatting here for a while, he told Wei Dong to ask him for help if he needed anything, and then turned around and went back to his dorm.

As soon as he walked in the door, he realized that it had started to rain without him knowing.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, listened to the sound of raindrops hitting the window, and looked down at Spring Autumn Lake. Under the falling rain, the lake surface began to ripple with countless waves.

At the same time, just behind the administrative office building, in the teaching area where the B-grade students were located, despite the pouring rain, a group of students were still training in the vast cinder playground.

An instructor was also standing in the rain, shouting loudly to the students: "You've been in school for more than a month. You need to prepare for training as soon as possible. The school has prepared medicine, so don't be afraid of catching a cold, don't be afraid of getting hurt. As long as you don't die from training, train to death!"

A student suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly, "Teacher, I started training Breathing Technique last month. Can I not do these exercises?"

The instructor walked over, looked at him a few times, kicked him to the ground full of cinder, and scolded loudly, "Did I allow you to speak? Do I need to tell you before you listen! Train! You are not allowed to stop until I say so! Did you hear me?!"

The student quickly got up and shouted loudly with the other students on the playground, "Yes, sir!!"

The wind and rain gradually blew towards the east side of the administrative building, and the trees on North Peak swayed along with it.

In a flower garden villa on the hillside, the recommended student Xiao Ran was training in the indoor training ground. A strong young man was his sparring partner, and two invited teachers were responsible for correcting his movements at any time.

At this time, a young woman brought a middle-aged man wearing a training suit in and said to Xiao Ran, "Young Master Qiu, Teacher Li is here."

Xiao Ran took the initiative to walk over and shake hands with the teacher, and said eagerly, "Teacher Li, can I start training?"

Teacher Li asked him to cooperate and do a few movements, and then pressed and kneaded his body a few times, nodding, "Young Master Qiu, your body is very good. After a long period of exercise, you have hardly taken any drugs that harm your body. You are ready and can start training."

Xiao Ran was very polite to this teacher and said, "Then I will have to trouble Teacher Li."

Breathing Technique usually needs to be trained by oneself, but where there is demand, there will be service. Power families will specially cultivate a kind of talent in order to start training for the children of Power families.

It's just that this kind of person requires a special talent, which is really too difficult to cultivate, and if there is a slight mistake, the person is ruined, so until now, Yangzhi City has only this Teacher Li who is proficient in this skill, and he needs to rest for a long time after helping someone start training once.

Xiao Ran's family also used a lot of favors to invite him.

Teacher Li said, "Please lie down, Young Master Qiu."

Xiao Ran lay down on the recliner as he was told, and asked curiously, "Do I need to apply medicine?"

Teacher Li said with a smile, "No, Young Master Qiu's body is precious. I will apply the medicine on my hands first, and use massage techniques to allow the medicinal effects to penetrate, and then drive Young Master Qiu's breathing. If Young Master Qiu feels bored, then you may as well take a nap, it will be over soon..."

The heavy rain outside was still falling non-stop.

After Chen Chuan stood by the window for a while, he slowly retracted his gaze from the rain curtain.

He walked to the training room and continued to train Zheng San Shou^[-] and Circulating Yuan Strength stance.

Of the scheduled three months, more than a month had passed, and he had to intensify his practice and master the Zhou Yuan Strength Method as soon as possible, so that he could restrain the Mutated Tissue within the limited time.
