Atlas of Heaven and Man

Shu Han looked at Chen Chuan. The latter's upright and handsome appearance, with clear eyes, made him mutter inwardly, "This kid has a pretty good look."

He reminded him, "Junior Chen, be careful. I'm good at close-quarters combat and have mastered techniques you haven't yet."

Chen Chuan nodded. It was his first time meeting Shu Han, and he didn't know what the man was thinking. Whether this information was revealed to confuse him, he couldn't tell. Regardless of the opponent, he would fight at his own pace.

He thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any special skills. I'm just a bit better in terms of physical fitness."

"Physical fitness?"

Shu Han nodded with particular seriousness.

He believed this. From the information he received, Zhong Wu's brain was said to have been almost beaten into mush. He was alive only because of medication. The school didn't want him to die because of the impact, but he was practically a vegetable, with no hope of waking up.

Considering Zhong Wu's physique, for Chen Chuan to achieve such a state with hand-to-hand combat, it was impossible without a certain amount of strength and skill.

After the two finished exchanging words, they clasped their fists at each other, took a few steps back, and prepared to begin.

Shu Han valued his reputation. As a senior, he certainly wouldn't take the initiative to attack, so he extended one hand, adopting a gesture of courtesy and waiting in place.

Chen Chuan wasn't polite. If you don't come, then I'll go over. So he strode forward.

Shu Han wasn't tall. Seeing him coming straight towards him, he immediately felt a sense of oppression. If he dodged, the opponent could still follow up. Although the space was enough for him to dodge, it would be too unsightly as a senior, he also valued his reputation. So, instead of retreating, he lunged forward.

Chen Chuan saw him sway and suddenly appear in front of him. The feeling was very disjointed and abrupt, as if he didn't need to exert any force to get there. He immediately realized that the other party must have used some kind of technique.

When people fight, they have a preliminary judgment of the landing point of their attacks and the enemy's location. If the person isn't there, the rhythm can immediately be disrupted.

In this situation, the opponent was likely trying to grapple him. The best choice at this time was to lean back and lower his center of gravity, but that might be what the other party wanted him to do.

So, he did the opposite, advancing instead of retreating, stepping forward with both feet, pressing his center of gravity forward, and exerting force to rush forward. A jarring, unpleasant friction sound could be heard from the floor—he had used the "Mountain Crash Body" from Da San Shou!

This move relies on the attacker's own physical advantages to forcibly break through the opponent's stance during the rush. As the saying goes, 'one strength can overcome ten skills'. No matter how delicate the move, it must ultimately rely on strength, otherwise it's useless.

Shu Han did have a plan to wait for Chen Chuan's reaction. As long as Chen Chuan was deceived by his movements and leaned back, he could retract his hand and cause Chen Chuan's strength to be empty, then he could easily grab Chen Chuan's head, and that would be the end of it.

But at this moment, he realized something was wrong. He suddenly felt an irresistible force rushing towards him. He couldn't stand at all, and his whole body was knocked sideways. But after being thrown out, he rolled over smoothly and stood up, looking as if nothing had happened.

Shen Shao said, "Xiao Shu, you've lost. If Chen had continued to press on just now, you wouldn't have won."

Shu Han was slightly silent, but he was very frank and admitted, "Yes, Chen, you won."

Chen Chuan shook his head and said, "Senior is being modest."

This wasn't just polite talk. He felt that Shu Han had made a very slight movement at the end, but immediately stopped. He guessed that it was very likely a harmful technique, but because it was just a friendly exchange, he didn't use it.

This victory was only a victory in a friendly exchange. A life-and-death battle wouldn't have such a straightforward result.

Shu Han was much more polite at this time and said, "Junior, have you eaten yet? I'll take you."

"Hey, I haven't eaten either, take me with you," Shen Shao shouted from there.

Shu Han retorted, "You have legs, do you need someone to take you?"

Shen Shao said cheekily, "Others can reject you, you can reject them again, why can't you take me with you just because I have legs?"

Shu Han suddenly felt his fists hardening again.

Chen Chuan smiled inwardly. He went downstairs and took the elevator with the two of them. On the way, he explained why he didn't come this morning. The two were surprised and looked at each other, but they didn't say anything, just looked at him meaningfully.

Wu Yi's cafeteria was located on the southwest side of the academy, because the most students were Class B students, and they all studied in the old building area.

In terms of food supply, except for recommended students who had their own private chefs, Class A and Class B students were all together, but there were still distinctions inside the cafeteria.

After the three entered, they went directly to the Class A student dining channel.

At this time, the broadcast in the cafeteria suddenly rang. A gentle and calm female voice came from inside:

"Longde Foods abandons the inherent rigidity and constraints of food, breaks the traditional concept, and conducts a new expression and interpretation of food. Longde's concept is to return to the most original state of food…"

"The materials used in the food are mainly rich in energy algae, with high quality, high content, easy digestion and absorption, providing balanced nutrition and various substances necessary for the human body…"

Chen Chuan saw that some people in the cafeteria looked numb, while some who were obviously new students sighed and said, "Here it comes again." More people seemed not to have heard it.

"…Longde Foods has taken strict disinfection measures, complete sealing management, and eliminated the drawbacks of external pollutants. The safety problems of traditional diets have been solved. Longde Foods can be stored for more than 150 years under extreme temperatures…"

Shen Shao said with a smile, "Is this the first time you've heard it? It's okay for us Class A students, we only have to listen to it once every time we eat. In Class B, it loops continuously, and you can't walk out unless you pay for ordering and come here to eat with us."

Chen Chuan thought for a while and expressed his understanding. It was okay to hear this for the first time, but to hear it every day was simply brainwashing. However, he knew that the school's nutritional paste was provided to them free of charge by this company, so doing this much advertising every day wasn't too excessive.

The three arrived at the cafeteria and chose a four-person seat by the side. Shu Han took out a clipboard menu with a pen stuck in it from under the table, pushed it over, and said, "Order whatever you want. Everything on the list is provided for free. If you want a unique flavor, the cafeteria can do it, but that will cost extra."

Chen Chuan wasn't polite and ticked a few with the pen. Anyway, he wasn't picky and could eat anything. Shu Han and Shen Shao also made their choices, tore off the list from the top, and directly handed it to the waiter who came over.

Chen Chuan looked around and found that although it was lunchtime, there weren't many people.

Shen Shao smiled and said, "Junior Chen, don't look at the fact that there are more than two thousand students in the new semester, but less than two hundred passed the re-examination, which is much more than in previous years. How many were there in previous years? Forty or fifty when there were few, and seventy or eighty when there were many. This year, it has doubled. I heard that this has something to do with you."

Chen Chuan was a little surprised: "Me?"

Shen Shao leaned forward a little, stared at him and said, "It's because of you. Do you know? After the news of you defeating Zhong Wu spread that day, many of the instructors in charge of assessing students didn't dare to be too ruthless, because they were afraid of pushing too hard and another person like you would appear and beat them to death or cripple them."
