Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 179 Limits
When Jing Lin was in the air, he raised one hand to the side of his cheek and stretched the other hand straight forward.

As the distance was rapidly shortened, the front hand seemed to be some distance away from Chen Chuan, but at this moment, the muscles in the arm squirmed, and suddenly grew a little longer, and it was directly in front of Chen Chuan, and it seemed that it would touch the latter's neck in the next moment.

But at this moment, Chen Chuan's figure flashed forward, avoiding the hand in the nick of time, and arrived in front of Jing Lin in the blink of an eye. The timing and rhythm here were very precise.

Jing Lin, however, showed a smug smile on his face. While Chen Chuan was approaching, he tore his mouth open, and the gap between his mouth actually spread all the way to his ears, revealing his sharp teeth, and he bit towards Chen Chuan.

But just as he was about to make the move, a fist carrying enormous power had already hit him heavily in the stomach, and an explosive force followed that hit his body.

Jing Lin groaned, his back arched backwards from the blow, his legs and hands stretched forward, and even his long snake-like tongue stuck out.

Chen Chuan raised his hand again, grabbed his head, and pushed it aside with disgust. Jing Lin flew out sideways, and after falling to the ground, he rolled a few times and lay on his side in a posture that could not be completely turned around. His eyes were rolled back and his mouth was wide open. He had already lost consciousness.

Chen Chuan just glanced casually and then looked forward again. From beginning to end, his attention was not on Jing Lin, nor did he hear clearly what this man was saying. His focus was always on the car behind him, because he knew that the people there were the ones he needed to deal with today.

Tan Wang sat in the car and looked ahead. This time when he went back for the implant and body reshaping surgery, he took Jing Lin with him for some modifications. Although they were all low-grade implants that were about to be disposed of, and were not very compatible with him, his combat effectiveness had undoubtedly improved a lot compared to before.

I thought that if Jing Lin could deal with Chen Chuan, I wouldn't have to do it myself. Even if he couldn't, I could just watch the show. But I didn't expect that he would be solved in one encounter. It seems that the things in the information were not exaggerated.

This way you can only do it yourself.

No matter what, he is just a fighter who has not yet crossed the ladder.

He stretched out his hand, pushed the door, and got out of the car. He pulled his imported formal attire, closed the door, and slowly walked towards Chen Chuan.

When he got closer, he stopped and took a look at Jing Lin who was lying there. He touched his chin and said with some dissatisfaction, "You hit my toy, you should pay me some compensation."

Chen Chuan looked at him and said calmly: "Teacher Tan, I know what you are here for."

"Oh... I see."

Tan Wang immediately felt bored, "Why did you say it out loud? It's so boring. You could have lived a little longer."

Chen Chuan stabbed the knife into the ground, unbuttoned his collar, and said, "I'm actually very happy to see you today, Teacher Tan."

"Oh?"

Hearing his words, Tan Wang was a little curious. He thought Chen Chuan's performance was very interesting, so he didn't mind cooperating. "Why is that?"

Chen Chuan unbuttoned his coat one by one, took it off, and threw it to the other side. Then he reached out and grabbed the hilt of the knife. His hair and shirt collar swayed in the wind. He said slowly, "Because you are important enough. You are an indispensable piece of the puzzle."

At this time, dark clouds surged above, the sky and the earth were dark, the wind became stronger, and countless branches and leaves were flying on the reed marsh. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in the sky, followed by a dull thunder rumble. The vibration sound seemed to roll past the two people.

Tan Wang narrowed his narrow eyes, seeming to dislike the tone of Chen Chuan's speech.

But he also felt a little strange. In the past, no matter how the prey reacted, he would not feel disgusted. He would only feel novel and interesting. It was not like now.

He looked up at the sky and attributed it to the weather.

He put his hands in his trouser pockets and said, "It's going to rain soon, and I don't want my newly bought clothes to get wet, so I'm sorry, I can only ask you to die soon."

After he said this, he leaned forward, and as he walked, the dancing stems and leaves, the swept branches, and the tiny water droplets around him seemed to slow down.

After a fighter reaches the third limit, his nerve reaction speed and body coordination will be much faster than before. The movements of fighters below this limit will appear to them as slow motion, and it is impossible to keep up with their movements and speed.

He also added implants inside his body. Most fighters only strengthened a certain part of the alienated tissue, which inevitably had defects, like a lame giant.

But after adding the implant, many shortcomings can be made up for and he has more comprehensive capabilities, so he can withstand greater intensity and maintain this state for a longer time.

When facing Chen Chuan, he had more of a cat playing with mouse mentality.

As he came in front of Chen Chuanjin, looking at the latter's seemingly motionless figure, he showed a playful expression, stretched out a hand, and reached towards the latter's face.

Chen Chuan had been watching Tan Wang, but in his sight, the figure suddenly disappeared. However, he did not panic. As another flash of lightning flashed in the sky, the second self who was originally on the side suddenly disappeared, and at this moment instantly merged with him!

His sight caught sight of Tan Wang's figure again. He looked at the other party's hand gradually approaching. He turned around and pulled out the knife, bringing out a flash of knife light!
Tan Wang felt something was wrong when he looked at him. His long-trained sense of danger made him react quickly. He raised his hand. With a clang, he directly blocked the knife with his arm. A trace of doubt appeared on his face, because Chen Chuan's speed suddenly increased.

But before he could figure this out, the knife flashed in front of him again, slashing at him continuously. He quickly stepped back to avoid it, constantly using different parts of his body to block the knife's strikes.

It can be seen that densely packed scales have appeared on his cheeks and torso. These are implanted scales on his body. After growing together with his own alienated tissue, they can withstand the attacks of small-caliber firearms and various swords through the coordination of strength and high-toughness muscles under the membrane.

He needs no additional weapons because he is the weapon himself.

After blocking more than ten knife attacks in a row, he gradually recovered from the passive state of attack. After blocking another stab, the muscles in his legs and back squirmed, and he suddenly leaped backwards, rushing backwards in an unconventional posture, instantly escaping from the range of the knife.

When he reached the back, he flipped in the air and stood still again.

Although he had escaped from the sword, after the continuous slashing just now, even though he himself was fine, the imported formal dress on his body had turned into strips of cloth.

Rumble, accompanied by another burst of thunder, the heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time finally fell at this time, quickly making a dense and rustling sound on the ground.

Chen Chuan held the long sword in one hand and stroked the back of the sword with the other hand, holding it diagonally in front of him and said, "It seems that Teacher Tan does not need to change clothes."

Tan Wang snorted and tore off all his tattered clothes, revealing his body covered with gray-green scales.

At this moment, the muscles around his eye sockets squirmed, and his eyes suddenly turned into vertical pupils.

This is his mutated snake pupil. By expanding the pupil range, it can receive more light and improve visual acuity, which is particularly suitable for fighting in this almost dim environment.

Chen Chuan took a look at the scales on his body. He could feel that when he chopped with the knife just now, the force was difficult to be applied and was all slipped away by a flexible force. In addition to the effect of the scales themselves, there should also be a force dissipation effect.

As a fighter of a higher level, Tan Wang should have a lot of experience in dealing with sword-like weapons, so it is not surprising that he can do this.

And he did not suffer any loss in the previous confrontation, because using physical force to resolve the attack itself consumes physical strength. Even if he has reached the third limit, he cannot exert his strength infinitely. He only used ordinary sword cuts to force the opponent to use physical force to resist. From a tactical point of view, he gained.

After overlapping with the second me, as long as he is not seriously impacted, he can now maintain a combat state for eight hours. Even if Tan Wang is at the third limit, how long can he continuously output strength?

Tan Wang stared at Chen Chuan for a while. The ease he had when he first teased his prey was no longer in his eyes. He was surprised that Chen Chuan's speed could catch up with his. What kind of drugs did he use?

"Is it some new medicine from Tiancong Baicao?"

This is the most likely possibility. There are no advanced implants outside the central city. Instead, there are various unverified banned drugs circulating, which sometimes do have special effects.

However, by doing so, Chen Chuan had brought his reaction and speed to almost the same level as him, so that his advantage that was enough to crush fighters below the limit no longer existed.

Fortunately, most medicines are effective. Once the effect wears off, you will be left with a more tired or even damaged body.

Because a person is a whole, Chen Chuan has only reached the second limit at most. It is impossible for him to have the third limit of physical strength. Forcibly raising his physical strength with drugs does not mean that there is no damage, it is just temporarily suppressed.

This medicine is still useful. I can ask for directions after this. Maybe I can make some money to make up for my losses this time.

As he was thinking, he slowly spread his legs and stood still. He did not take the initiative to attack. He was waiting for the effect of the drug to end.

Chen Chuan did not choose to confront him. He wanted to force Tan Wang to fight with him. He needed to keep a certain amount of pressure on the latter, forcing him to constantly use his strength to resist and continue to consume his physical strength, so as to increase his chances of winning little by little.

He stepped forward and slashed diagonally, with the blade of his sword cutting a perfect arc of water in the heavy rain.

However, in the eyes of Tan Wang, his action undoubtedly confirmed his own conjecture. He snorted and took a step back at an incredible speed. His figure became blurred, as if he suddenly disappeared on the spot.

However, after Chen Chuan took a step forward, his figure seemed to disappear as well, and then a series of collision and impact sounds were heard in the air.
