Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 336 Arena
Uncle Ding waited for a moment and said, "Young Master wants to ask you if you want to ask about the third limit?"

Chen Chuan replied: "Yes."

Uncle Ding said, "Young Master said that if you have any questions, you might as well come to Motie Mountain for a cup of tea first."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be right over."

More than an hour later, inside the Cao family manor in Motie Mountain.

There were frequent thunderstorms in the past few days. When Chen Chuan arrived, it was just the beginning of the day after the rain. The sky seemed to have been washed clean, clear and blue, with only a few clouds occasionally at the edge.

The sun shines on the flowers and plants in the courtyard. A fresh breeze blows by, and the water droplets hanging on the branches and leaves fall into the moist soil, bringing with them a fresh fragrance of grass and trees.

Chen Chuan was sitting in front of a sandalwood table. In front of him was a jade porcelain teacup. Wisps of hot steam were coming out of it, and the green tea leaves floating in it were clearly visible.

Cao Guiqi sat opposite, still dressed like a scholar from the old times, in a wide light green robe and a jade-white hairpin in his hair. He said, "It's been almost two months, and I think you are about to break through the third limit, brother Chen. So tell me, what problem have you encountered now?"

Chen Chuan said: "Senior Cao, I can feel that I seem to be standing on the path to a breakthrough. As long as I make up my mind, I can cross it. But I feel in my heart that something is not yet perfect."

Cao Guiqi said: "You are using the methods of the old times to break through the third limit, which requires the integration of spirit and body, and requires self-will to be the dominant force. Only when self-will is perfect can you naturally cross this threshold.

If you have this feeling, it means that although your body is ready, your spirit is not yet ready for complete integration.

There should be something in your subconscious mind that you want to do but haven't done yet, so that there is a trace of worry in your mind. Only by wiping it away can your spirit be completely sublimated. "

He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "This is a good thing, because most people can hardly notice the inconsistency, and either rashly or eagerly step over it without being fully prepared, and even feel complacent about being able to cross that line so easily."

He said calmly: "Little do they know that they will have to spend more time to correct those mistakes in the future, and if they take this wrong step, they may never be able to turn back."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and nodded slightly. He raised his head and said, "Thank you, Senior Cao, for telling me. I think I understand now."

Cao Guiqi hummed and said, "Since you are here, why not have a cup of tea before you leave? This cup of old tea may not be as refreshing and sweet as new tea, but it is mellow and rich, and can make people savor it for a longer time and help people calm down."

Chen Chuan thanked him, reached out to pick up the cup and took a sip. The moment he drank it, a mellow fragrance lingered between his teeth and cheeks. Together with the fragrance of the surrounding plants, it calmed his wandering mind. The fusion of man and the outside world seemed to become incomparably clear at this moment.

He sat quietly, looking at the branches and plants outside being rustled by the breeze, feeling the rhythm of nature.

After sitting here for a long time and drinking a few cups of tea, the sunlight was gradually obscured by the remaining clouds that floated in from nowhere. Uncle Ding came over and said, "Master, it's going to rain again, and it may be heavy this time."

Cao Guiqi said, "Xiaodi Chen, I won't keep you here any longer. Go back early."

Chen Chuan stood up and bowed slightly to Cao Guiqi, "Senior, goodbye, thank you for your guidance." After that, he followed Uncle Ding out.

Cao Guiqi picked up the teacup again and sipped it slowly, looking at the sky with a distant gaze, as if he was savoring the past and looking forward to the future.

Chen Chuan walked out of the manor. After confirming that these were not problems in the breakthrough process, he completely calmed down.

As for the things that I want to do but haven't done yet, there are actually quite a few, but if I had to say which one has had the greatest impact recently, there is only one.

It's time to fix it.

When he came to the side of Gard's car, a few raindrops hit his cheek, which felt a little cool, but extremely refreshing.

He looked up and saw that in just a moment, the sky, which was originally sunny, was now covered with dark clouds.

He reached out to open the car door and got in. Just as he closed the door and fastened his seat belt, crackling rain began to fall. It seemed that the rain became heavier in just a few breaths.

The wipers started moving, and as the car started, the headlights pierced through the heavy rain like two beams of light, and then the car slowly drove out of the courtyard of the manor.

After leaving Motie Mountain, he used his credentials to retrieve the crime records of Wei Wusheng from the lower bureau.

The place where the Pei brothers were killed last time was found a few days later. Because he was busy practicing these days, he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he saw it now, he was a little surprised.

This place is exactly the neighborhood where the hotel ghost story happened.

He couldn't help but wonder, when did Wei Wusheng appear there?

Is it before or after you solve the ghost story?
After thinking about it carefully, I think it is most likely the former, because few people approach places where anomalies exist, and because of the interference of ghost stories, a lot of information from the world cannot be transmitted normally. This is a perfect hiding place.

If so, maybe when he solved the ghost story that day, Wei Wusheng was there, just across the street from him. Just as he was thinking, a car suddenly sped past his car at high speed, splashing a large amount of water, and the front was suddenly hazy. The wipers shook and quickly wiped away the water that hit the car window.

He looked up and with his keen senses he could clearly see the license plate number of the speeding vehicle through hundreds of meters of rain and fog. He immediately reported the license plate number of the speeding car to the city security department.

In the heavy rain, he went all the way back to Xuangong Building, took the elevator to the 49th floor, and when he opened the door of the dormitory, he heard a chirp sound from inside.

He looked over and saw the little thing sticking its head out of a cozy nest made of brambles and silk feathers, calling to him and spreading its wings towards him, as if to say hello.

This little thing is growing very fast. In just over ten days, it has grown a lot bigger. Now it looks much prettier than before, with its feathers in richer colors. Of course, its appetite has also increased a lot.

Because this little thing would make a pleasant whistle towards the sun when the sun rose every day, he gave it a name, called "Chao Ming".

Zou Handan said that this was a failed work and was of no use. Perhaps its only value was for viewing. However, he found that although "Chao Ming" was not good in other aspects, its IQ was relatively high.

The most obvious thing is that after being given a name, it clearly knows that it refers to itself, and will respond when called from then on. When he is conducting daily training, it will stay quietly by the side without making any noise, and will also open and eat the food prepared for it by itself.

Only when he relaxes will he make some sounds and noises. Whenever he goes in or out, he will make sounds to show his presence.

He walked over, teased it a little, and changed some water in Chaoming's nest.

While he was busy, he was thinking about the place where Wei Wusheng might appear next. It might not be useful if he took the initiative to look for him, so it would be better to give the other party a chance to find him himself.

He believed that Wei Wusheng would definitely come and continue the unfinished battle with him from last time.

After changing the water and putting nutrient solution in the feeding trough, he stroked Chaoming's smooth feathers twice, then turned and walked to the window. From a distance, he could see a bright beam of light rising into the sky.

That was where the ring arena was located. Various advertisements and ring matches were constantly broadcast above the light column. Even though he was standing inside the building, he seemed to be able to hear the noisy noise coming from there.

He thought about it, crossed his hand, and sent a message to Tan Zhi.

"Student Tan, are you still watching the ring matches recently?"

Tan Zhi contacted him immediately.

"Yes, I have been going there every day for the past month. You know what, the competition is really exciting. The contestants this time are not simple. Although we are only in the middle stage and have not yet entered the second half, the main players who advance to the next position have already competed. The most intense elimination battle is going on in the next two days. Student Chen suddenly asked about this. Do you want to go too?"

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Yes, my practice progress has slowed down in the past two days, so I plan to take some time to go and have a look."

After hearing what he said, Tan Zhi said hurriedly, "There's no need to rush to slow down. It may be a self-adjustment. It's a good time to come out and relax. Why don't we go together tomorrow? Well, we can take the car prepared by the school. It will be safer this way."

Chen Chuan asked: "Are you on guard against Wei Wusheng?"

Tan Zhi sighed and said, "Yeah, I thought the Pei brothers were very powerful, but in the end they were killed by Wei Wusheng. They are just a name without substance. I don't have any hope for other bounty hunters anymore."

Chen Chuan thought to himself that it might not be that the Pei brothers were incapable. They might have no problem dealing with a normal third-level fighter, but dealing with someone like Wei Wusheng might really be beyond their ability to cope with.

Tan Zhi said, "Apart from the academy, the fighting arena is the safest place. The strongest security in the central city is concentrated there. Not to mention Wei Wusheng, even the security forces of large companies can't rush in. I heard that some of the passengers on the cruise ship chose to live nearby."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll meet you tomorrow then." After chatting for a few more sentences and agreeing on the time, he ended the call.

The next day, Chen Chuan got up early, packed up, and seeing that it was almost time, he walked out of the Xuangong Building and walked towards the school bus parked in front of the building.

He raised his hand to respond to Tan Zhi's wave in the car, and at the same time contacted Wu Bei: "Brother Wu, don't cover up my whereabouts these two days. If someone is checking me out, please pay attention to where I came from, but don't alarm them."

Wu Bei immediately said, "I understand." He suddenly became excited, because he had worked with Chen Chuan many times, and he felt that something was going to happen again, and it was a big deal!
After Chen Chuan got in the car, he came to sit next to Tan Zhi and said hello. After a while, all the students who came to watch the competition arrived. The car door moved closed and slowly drove towards the competition venue.

Due to the heavy traffic on the road, the bus was moving slowly. It took about 20 minutes to reach the stadium. This huge circular building could accommodate 90,000 people. Due to the existence of the boundary, even people who were far away could clearly see all the details of the scene.

In addition, there are a large number of spectators outside the stadium. Since the live game can only be seen within a certain range, a large number of spectators gather outside the stadium.

The surrounding apartments, hotels, shops, parks and even the rooftops of business office buildings were crowded with people, and the roads were full of vehicles of the city patrol and security forces. When they saw the Wuyi College bus approaching, several two-wheeled motor vehicles immediately stepped forward to lead it, and the bus followed them to the parking lot of the venue.
