Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 485 Divine Song
Pan Xiaode and Qi Huixin both used rapiers, but because of their different heights, the lengths of their rapiers were different, and their styles were also different.

The former takes the approach of direct attack, while the latter tends to be quick and strange. When the two styles are put together, one person is responsible for the direct attack to delay the enemy, while the other makes a surprise attack from the side. It can be said to be an unusual combination of the two.

With Chen Chuan's current physical condition, no matter how much he lowers his expression, it is impossible to reduce it to the second limit.

But he also discovered that by using his mental power to guide himself, he could accurately coordinate his body and keep his own strength in the appropriate position that he needed.

Even the senses can be lowered below a certain level under conscious influence.

In the past, he had always thought that for those who possessed great power, as their power increased, their daily consumption would also be greater. Just maintaining their own physiological functions would probably require a considerable amount of energy and nutritional intake, not to mention when fighting.

He has a second self who can lower his expression, but how do those people do it?
Now he understood that if one knew how to use spiritual power, then he could set limits for himself and maintain his body at a certain level.

But in this situation, he did not take advantage of his strength and speed, and the only thing he could rely on at this moment was his fighting skills.

But even if his body is adjusted to the same level as Pan and Qi, his experience is still there, his fighting skills are still there, and his combat observation ability is also not weakened, which cannot be reduced, but how can there be true fairness in fighting, or can it be said that this is the only normal thing.

He casually stretched out his hand and pushed away Pan Xiaode's rapier, and the latter seized the opportunity and stabbed with another rapier.

However, at the moment when Chen Chuan made the move, the center of gravity of his body quietly changed. It seemed as if he was going to retreat, but in an instant, he actively rushed forward, avoiding the stabbing sword and rushing in directly.

Qi Huixin, who had moved to the side, was shaken by him. The sword she had intended to thrust out was already halfway out. If she maintained the original momentum, it would definitely miss. She had no choice but to adjust herself and then catch up, but this made her very uncomfortable.

After Chen Chuan reached the inside, he stretched out his hand, apparently trying to grab Pan Xiaode's wrist. The latter retreated decisively and raised his sword upwards, trying to cut his arm.

But Chen Chuan seemed to have known that he would do this. He suddenly slapped his palm to the side and hit the sword's spine one step ahead of time. At the same time, his other elbow slightly raised. Pan Xiaode was startled, feeling that he was going to attack his face, and immediately leaned back to avoid it.

Chen Chuan, however, crouched down and rushed over from the position where Pan Xiaode had made room, and used Pan Xiaode's body to block Qi Huixin's path as she turned to the back, causing the latter's adjusted rapier to still not be delivered smoothly.

No matter how the fight went on, he always made sure to face one of them instead of letting them surround him.

In fact, if any two people faced him, even if they were of the same physical fitness, they would be beaten by him in just two or three moves with bare hands. But if they took up weapons and cooperated with each other, they would be able to deal with him now.

The two seemed to be in tune with each other, cooperating very well with each other and performing at their best.

Tan Zhi gave them the first floor hall and stood on the second floor observation deck. From his perspective, the three people were moving all the time.

Pan and Qi tried desperately to occupy an advantageous position, surround Chen Chuan, or force him into a corner, but Chen Chuan always managed to get out of the circle where the two had not yet formed a united force.

If the two wanted to retreat and adjust, Chen Chuan would attack one of them first, forcing the other to come to the rescue, resulting in the loss of initiative. This situation often happened, mainly because Chen Chuan took the initiative in the battle.

Pan and Qi had thought of using this to lure Chen Chuan in, but after Chen Chuan saw through their tricks after several attempts, they had no choice but to take the initiative and seize the opportunity.

Tan Zhi could see clearly the battle. He couldn't help wondering, what would be different if he joined in just now? Would he have a chance of winning?

He immediately shook his head and decided to give up. He had a clear understanding of himself and there was no cooperation between him and these two. Going up like this would only cause more trouble. He might even be the one that was breached.

This looks good, it can broaden your horizons and save you some effort.

The battle lasted for more than an hour and only stopped when Pan and Qi gave up voluntarily.

Although the time was not long, they felt extremely exhausted. The most exhausted was not physical strength, but mental strength. They had to concentrate on cooperating with each other at all times and think about how to deal with the next step and the next step. In the short training process, they felt the long-lost fatigue.

Originally, they thought that when both sides' physical performances were the same, they didn't think they had no chance of winning. However, Chen Chuan hit their loopholes and flaws every time, which made them realize that what they lacked from Chen Chuan was not only physical fitness, but also an all-round gap in eyesight, judgment, experience, etc.

Fortunately, the attack and defense just now were all within their understanding. They felt that they had gained more from this one hour of attack and defense than they had in a year. When they go back to review it and digest it carefully, they should be able to make great progress.

Pan Xiaode was very happy and expressed his gratitude sincerely, saying, "Student Chen, thank you so much." Qi Huixin nodded.

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Nothing."

Tan Zhi clapped his hands, "Okay, okay, let's take a break and have a few drinks." He brought down a few bottles of stamina-replenishing drinks and handed them to the three people.

After the three of them sat back on the sofa, he took out a deck of cards and said, "The musical starts at 3pm, but you need to enter early. You three can have lunch here. After lunch, we can play a few games and then go to the theater." Pan Xiaode asked, "What is the name of this musical?"

"Foreign names are hard to remember. It translates to 'Song of the Wilderness'."

"Yes, that's it. I've heard about it many times, but I've never seen it. What's the story?"

Tan Zhi said: "It is said to be a true love and revenge story in Nordland."

He told me the story, which was about a time during the Nordland Kingdom period when a down-and-out knight found a divine poem handed down from ancient times while resting in a wilderness cave.

The knight saw at a glance that the fighting skills of ancient heroes were hidden in it, so he was overjoyed and went back to present them to his king.

However, the court swordsman and several great nobles could not see anything from it, only an ordinary volume of poetry, so they concluded that the knight was a liar.

The king was very angry and had the knight's limbs broken with stones and abandoned in the wilderness, but he was picked up and taken care of by a kind-hearted mute shepherdess.

The poor knight was not willing to give up. After much effort, he composed the divine poem into a song and sang it on the roadside every day, hoping that the nobles and merchants passing by would understand him.

But no one understood him, no one comprehended him, and they even laughed at him. As he sang day after day, his singing was heard by the daughter of a small noble who was passing by, and she heard the heroic fighting skills in his singing.

The noblewoman then approached the down-and-out knight on her own initiative. She was moved by the knight's spirit and promised him that she would help him fulfill his long-cherished wish.

After this noblewoman had learned all she could from him, she went to the royal court alone, obtained a title by relying on her own military force, and also won enough glory for her family.

But after confirming her own martial arts skills, the noble woman's mentality changed. She didn't want anyone else to know such skills, so she sent people back to kill the down-and-out knight.

But she didn't know that the shepherdess who had been taking care of the knight, although she couldn't sing, had silently learned those chapters. After catching the attacking enemy, she forced the enemy to tell her the reason. The knight sang the last chapter in anger and gratitude to the shepherdess.

The shepherdess then put on tattered knight's armor and rushed to the king's palace with a rusty spear, where the two women started a fight that almost overturned the royal court.

"Song of the Wilderness" can be said to be a classic piece of music, and when it is performed, real fighters play the roles of the good and the bad respectively, and the actors all stand out from the competition of thousands of people.

To be honest, if the musical itself could not attract them too much, they were very much looking forward to the fights between the fighters in the musical. And the real selling point of the musical was that it was said that the songs were the songs given by God and passed down by the original protagonist of the story.

The whole play consists of thirteen chapters in total, and each chapter has a divine song. It is said that there were many masters in history who got inspiration from it by glimpsing a glimpse of the secret.

But so far no one has been able to hear the true and complete content from it. But the more this is the case, the more attractive it is to watch. Not to mention for fighters, it also has a strong appeal to ordinary people. After all, everyone has a dream in his or her heart. Maybe you are the one who can understand it?

"Many politicians and company executives will be there this time," Tan Zhi threw out a card, "We have to go there early. If we're late, we might get stuck on the road."

Pan Xiaode added a photo and said, "I hope it's really as good as it's said to be."

Chen Chuan glanced at the cards in his hand, took one and followed him out. He said, "From the introduction, the two leading actors are both third-level fighters, so it's worth watching."

The three of them nodded, it was indeed the case.

After enjoying the sumptuous lunch prepared by Tan Zhi, the four of them went out and drove straight to Weiguang District.

The musical will be performed at the Xihui Opera House, which can accommodate 3,000 spectators and often hosts concerts and dance performances. Because of its excellent acoustics, some large-scale radio programs are also recorded here.

As we drove along, we saw more vehicles than usual. Advertisements on the tall buildings on both sides were playing introductions and advertisements about the Wasteland God Song, and a music excerpt was also played to show the moving voices of the singers and dancers.

Even though they set out early, they didn't arrive here until almost two o'clock.
