Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 271 Exhibits
When Pan Xiaode made this proposal, Qi Huixin, who had been silent, suddenly raised her head, obviously very interested in the proposal.

Tan Zhi said, "Forget it. The usual sparring and training is not enough. Now is the time to rest. There is a high-level fighting match to watch tomorrow. Let me accumulate some emotions."

Pan Xiaode thought about it, touched the back of his head, and said, "Student Tan does have a point. What about tomorrow? What are we going to do to kill time later?"

Tan Zhi made a suggestion: "There is a dance floor here. It is said that many famous artists will come this time. Why don't we go there and dance for a while later..."

Pan Xiaode and Qi Huixin looked at each other and shook their heads, obviously not interested in this proposal.

As for Chen Chuan, he could enjoy watching others dancing, but as for dancing himself? He also had no interest in that. If he had that time, he might as well go back and practice some Sanshou martial arts.

Seeing that none of them had this idea, Tan Zhi shrugged and said, "Okay, then we won't go. I heard that the Rhino Horn has invited the Sun Band to perform this time, but that will have to wait until the official departure. Anyway, we won't be able to see it."

"The Sun Band?"

Pan Xiaode's eyes lit up, "I like their songs, too." Then he said in annoyance, "We have to wait until the official departure? That's a pity. It would be better if we could stay a few more days."

However, after just a few words, the topic unknowingly turned to fighting. Chen Chuan and Pan Xiaode chatted for a while and found that this person had a very solid theoretical foundation and was very familiar with the use of various weapons. This was not easy. Most fighters only focused on one type, and it was rare to find someone who was proficient in all of them like this person, so they continued to talk to him.

This time Qi Huixin also joined in, and the three of them talked more and more deeply. Sometimes Pan Xiaode would stand up and gesture a few times, not caring at all about the looks of the people around him.

Tan Zhize was helpless and showed an expression that said, "I really admire you guys."

After finishing their meal, Pan Xiaode suggested going to the fighting arena first. Although it was not the main event yet, it would be nice to watch the warm-up match first.

So the four of them came out of the restaurant, each got on a single-seat sightseeing electric car, followed Jie Ping's instructions, went up the ramp, and drove to the fighting arena on the ninth floor.

The unique feature of the Rhino is that it has a dedicated "fighting deck". Whenever the cruise ship docks at a place, it will stay for two or three days to hold an offshore fighting competition.

Furthermore, the internal arena of this event is not open to non-fighters, and only fighters who have reached at least the first level of competence are allowed to watch the event.

When they arrived at this deck, they went straight to the fighting arena. The security guards just took a quick look and let them in. Anyone who has practiced fighting can tell your foundation from your steps and movement rhythm.

As for their group of people, not to mention that three of them were wearing Wu Yi's school uniforms, just the pace of their walking showed that they were all experts.

After Chen Chuan arrived inside, the badge he was wearing dimmed first, then lit up, and he found himself in a circular arena like the Colosseum, surrounded by densely packed spectators.

In fact, these people are all passengers on the cruise ship. Although they cannot watch the event in person, they can choose to display their simulated images here through boundary points.

As long as these people are in their own cabins, they can make the scene of the duel arena appear around them, thus bringing people inside and outside the arena together in disguise. Both sides will not feel the lack of atmosphere, while maintaining a real distance.

When the four arrived, a fighting match was about to begin, so they randomly chose a seat to sit down.

Because it was just an ordinary fighting match, the commentator briefly introduced the origins and backgrounds of the two opposing teams. Under the lights, the two fighters entered the arena one after another.

The first person to appear was a fighter who came from a martial arts school. He was holding a machete in his hand and wearing protective leather armor. There were many scars on his exposed arms. His eyes were restrained and calm, and it was obvious that he had rich fighting experience.

His opponent, however, was different. Obvious implant lines could be seen on his exposed upper body, and one of his hands had been transformed into a ferocious claw.

As he came on stage, he removed the apron below his abdomen, and there were exclamations from the crowd.

It was a lower body that was completely shaped like a shrimp or scorpion, with the abdomen and tail pressed against the ground. There were three pairs of bent toes supporting his weight. From below the waist to the tail, he was covered with a shrimp-shell-like carapace. Combined with his large claws, the whole person was simply a human-shaped shrimp.

Chen Chuan took a few glances but was not optimistic about his fighting ability.

This person is equipped with only one large claw. Although he usually relies on the support of shrimp feet to stabilize his center of gravity, when he moves and turns, he will inevitably lose balance if the speed is too fast.

But according to Tan Zhi, this kind of fighting competition is just for the company to sell products, and keeping one person is probably to be able to better distinguish between the two.

At this moment, the commentator's voice suddenly sounded above the world, introducing that this person was using a new type of combat implant launched by the Ferris Wheel Company, which was very suitable for naval combat, and the multifunctional abdominal claws under his feet were very suitable for offshore navigation platforms.

The screen in front of him listed the transformation items for this person: artificial gills, artificial lungs, strengthened heart, pressure-adaptive diaphragm, waterproof secretory glands...

This person also had underwater sensory transformation done by the Burren Company, which enabled him to breathe underwater and move freely underwater.

The commentator also jokingly said that if necessary, underwater reproduction could be added, which immediately caused a burst of laughter and some people began to inquire about the price. Chen Chuan now understood that this match might not have the exciting fight he expected, and it was probably just some companies trying to show their "goods" to sellers through this channel.

He shook his head, stood up and said, "I'm sorry, classmates, I'm not interested in this kind of competition." Then he walked out.

Pan Xiaode also stood up and muttered, "There's nothing to see." Qi Huixin didn't say anything, she also stood up silently and walked out.

"Hey, you guys."

Seeing that the three people had left, Tan Zhi felt it was boring to sit alone, so he shrugged and chose to leave.

Just as the four of them were leaving, Gong Zhanyi was sitting in a private room less than 20 meters away. The steward came to him and bowed, "Young Master, we have checked, but we haven't found anyone yet."

Gong Zhanyi said in a cold voice: "Wei Wusheng is a martial arts fanatic. He will not miss a fighting event like tomorrow. He will definitely come. The Rhinoceros Horn will set sail the day after tomorrow. We must find him and the things before then."

"Yes."

After giving instructions, Gong Zhanyi changed his posture, looked at the two people below who had already entered the fighting state, and said, "I heard that there are students from Wuyi Academy among the fighting players here?"

The steward replied: "Yes, since the vice-president Wu Yi took office, he has been promoting this matter. However, those students are not formal students, but only recruited non-staff students."

Gong Zhanyi said: "What's the point of having a non-staff student? If they were regular students, then there would be something to watch."

"That's probably going to be difficult."

Gong Zhanyi disagreed, "Since this vice president has already opened a loophole, as long as there are enough interests, such a thing may be possible in the future."

Chen Chuan and his three companions walked outside at this time. They had not yet decided where to go next. At this time, they saw a young man wearing traditional fighting clothes and cloth shoes walking towards them. He had a warm smile on his face and his skin was shiny and radiant.

Tan Zhi said, "It's Senior Sun." He went up and shook hands with Senior Sun, and then introduced Chen Chuan, Pan Xiaode, and Qi Huixin.

Senior Sun shook hands with the three of them and said welcome. He smiled and said to Tan Zhi, "Brother Tan, we saw you guys came out after a while. This kind of fight was not designed for you. No wonder you felt bored. How about this, follow me. I'll show you something you've never seen before."

As he spoke, he said to the security guards who were waiting not far away, "I'm going to take a walk with my juniors. Don't follow me." The security guards left on their own accord.

Pan Xiaode couldn't help but ask curiously: "Senior Sun, what are you going to show us?"

Senior Sun smiled and said, "You will know when you see it."

He took the four people back to the sightseeing tram, sat down along the aisle, and came to the internal exhibition hall in the belly of the ship.

There were two objects covered with black cloth, with projectors shining down on them. Senior Sun walked to one of the objects and pulled off the cloth covering it, revealing a square glass cabinet.

The four people could see through the glass cabinet a long worm coiled inside. This thing had a multi-segmented body with sharp bristles on both sides of its body and a huge crown of thorns on its head. Its body seemed transparent, with a bright light emanating from it. It was estimated to be four or five meters long from head to tail.

Chen Chuan took a look at this time and found that the second me showed slight signs of blurring, but it was not serious. The degree was within the tolerance of ordinary people, but there was no doubt that it was the influence of this thing.

Pan Xiaode asked in surprise: "Senior, what the hell is this?"

Senior Sun said with a smile: "This is not a ghost thing, it is the 'Red Sea Worm', which is given by the Mosasaur Company to help with the fight tomorrow. If there are two fighters and this thing, wouldn't it be more exciting?"

Tan Zhi asked: "Will they agree?"

Senior Sun said: "Of course, if they don't agree, I won't take these things out. After all, we have to respect fighters, right? If there is no trust, such a fight may never come to us again in the future."

Pan Xiaode looked around, pointed to the taller object covered by black cloth on the right, and asked, "Senior, what is that?"

Senior Sun looked at the four of them and said slowly, "That, too, is something we prepared, but I'll keep it a secret for now."
