Chapter 624 Communication

As the others approached, Chen Chuan saw that this Tarru was only slightly shorter than himself, and the rhythm of his steps was very uniform. Combined with the skills he had occasionally displayed just now, it could be seen that this person was quite powerful.

Tarrou asked, "Sir, was Mr. Zhuan here?" Her voice was high and full of emotion, and it was obvious that she was a straightforward and cheerful person.

Chen Chuan said, "Yes, my name is Chen Chuan, hello Ms. Taru."

Tarrou laughed. "Just call me 'Tarrou,'" she said. "Mr. Chen came here on Mr. Zhuan's recommendation to practice in the Rift, right?"

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Not bad."

Tarrou said seriously, "Mr. Chen, I need to say this first. Entering the rift is extremely dangerous, so I must first confirm that you have the strength to go there."

The old man explained, "Mr. Chen, it's not that we don't trust you. Before, we didn't stop anyone from coming to the Rift to practice. But something happened during the time of the previous Taru.

A fellow member of the sect came here secretly. He claimed that he was recommended by an introducer. At that time, we believed him out of trust in our fellow members of the sect. However, due to his lack of strength, an accident occurred. Finally, we heard that this person even left the sect, and those who introduced him also retired.

The consequences of this incident were very serious, and old Tarrou felt very guilty about it, so he made this rule from then on.

"I understand," Chen Chuan said. He looked at Tarrou. "Shall we begin now?"

Tarrou was straightforward and had no habit of procrastinating. She said yes immediately, picked up the can of coconut milk beside her, drank a few sips, wiped her mouth, and walked to the open space on the side.

After standing there, she tied her clothes tighter, then took a stance and tried to stretch her hands back and forth. Afterimages were left between her fingers and palms, and several crisp explosions were heard in the air.

She would not be careless when dealing with someone recommended by a fighter and would take it very seriously.

Chen Chuan put the Xuejun Knife aside, walked out of the corridor of the straw hut, and after reaching the open space, he moved around a bit.

This Tarru is quite powerful, but he could see just now that although he had already practiced spiritual cultivation, he had not yet cultivated to the level of heart strength. In this case, there was actually no suspense in this battle.

But this is actually quite remarkable.

You have to know that in the central city, even with sufficient resources, many strong people at this age have not yet embarked on the path of spiritual practice. This person lives on an island, where communication and resource acquisition are not easy. It seems that he has relied mostly on his own talents to get to this point.

It was obvious that the two of them were going to compete. Although the children and young people had dispersed, they did not go far. They were now gathered around excitedly, looking forward to the fight between the two.

However, it was very subtle. Although everyone present was emotionally inclined towards Taru and hoped that she would win, at this time they inexplicably felt that Chen Chuan was the one who would win. This awkward feeling made them very uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Taru was not affected at all. After Chen Chuan came up, she performed the single-flow pavilion etiquette to the latter, and then took a stance. As soon as she took the stance, she entered a state of extreme concentration.

Chen Chuan clasped his hands together, then assumed a standard free-hand fighting stance.

The two sides confronted each other for a moment, and then Tarrou shouted. His figure flashed and he instantly crossed a distance of more than 20 meters, came in front of Chen Chuan, and kicked him.

The kick was swift, decisive, and powerful.

Chen Chuan raised his hand to block it accurately, and immediately felt a force coming at him, but then, another force followed from behind.

Double power?

Generally, double force is only used at critical moments, because the use of too many techniques will slow down the rhythm of one's attack, which is almost inevitable. It is usually only used when the opportunity arises, and it is rare to use it right at the beginning.

However, he immediately discovered that this force was not that simple. After this force entered the body, the alienated tissues in the body produced a slight sense of stagnation.

He immediately understood that this force was not intended to be lethal, but to attack the alienated organization. If the alienated organization did not function smoothly, then any movement and force technique would be awkward.

The first force should be used to connect the alienated organizations of both sides, rather than to attack the opponent. Then the second force is used to cause some kind of resonance between the alienated organizations of both sides, thereby putting the opponent into a passive position.

This is a very clever force, but it is not entirely based on technique. One can feel the strong power in Tarrou's palm. If such force is cultivated into mental strength, people who are unaware of the situation may be suppressed from the beginning. If they can't think of a countermeasure, there will be almost no chance of fighting.

He is now exploring his own strength, which has also given him some inspiration.

Tarrou kicked out for the second time at this time. The characteristic of Danliukan's fighting is that once it starts, it will not stop, but this kick was still blocked, and Chen Chuan did not feel any delay at all.

She realized that this attack was ineffective, but she was not discouraged. Instead, she shouted loudly, turned around, and swung her arm to chop down with a palm. This increased the power several times more than before. She decisively mobilized the secret method and entered a state of explosiveness.

Chen Chuan nodded secretly. This decision was correct. Many people, after being frustrated in their own offensive methods, would still stick to the same method the next time they attack. One reason was path dependence, and the other was self-confidence that did not allow them to give up so easily.

However, little do you know that for an experienced fighter, if your attack rhythm and skills are almost the same as last time, it is almost impossible to achieve better results than last time. There must be something different, and improving speed and strength is undoubtedly the best way.

Tarrou did this very well; most people wouldn't be so decisive.

At this time, the palm-edge like a knife was slashing towards Chen Chuan's left forehead. Although the speed and strength increased, it was still slow in his eyes, so he raised it lightly and blocked it.

Due to the sudden increase in strength, the control of strength could not be kept in perfect coordination, and the clothes on Tarrou's arm exploded, revealing a muscular wheat-colored arm.

This time, when the attack failed, she did not continue. Instead, she paused, revealing an expression of great admiration. She took a few steps back and saluted Chen Chuan.

"Mr. Chen, your fighting skills are far superior to mine. You can undoubtedly enter the rift to practice."

Chen Chuan clasped his fists and returned the greeting. He could have continued because at least the winner had not been decided. As the heir of a government official, and in front of many of the official's disciples, he would at least consider the other party's face as a guest.

But this person is obviously a person with a very simple and straightforward way of thinking. One is one, two is two, and he does not have any extra thoughts. So it is very normal for him to retreat when he feels he cannot win.

The old man came up and said, "Mr. Chen, you have come a long way. Do you need to rest before going to the rift?"

Chen Chuanshuo said, "That's not necessary. I've rested on Rowan Island for two days. Now I just hope to start practicing as soon as possible."

Tarrou said readily: "Yes, Mr. Chen, please follow me."

The old man bowed and said, "Tarrou, I'll take care of this place while you're gone."

Chen Chuan first went to retrieve the Xuejun Sword, nodded to the old man, and followed Taru.

After walking out of the open space, the trees in front of them became sparse. The two walked along a narrow passage and came to the edge of a sea cliff. Below them were rolling waves that kept crashing against the cliff.

Tarrou stood at the edge, letting the sea breeze ruffle her hair. She said, "If you jump down from here, you can reach the rift. However, the rift has become a little unstable recently and shows signs of expanding. This has not happened for a long time. I have never encountered it before, and my teacher didn't tell me about it either. So be careful when you go in."

"Is it unstable..."

Chen Chuan seemed to have thought of something. He asked, "Can I ask when this started?"

"There's nothing to hide about this," Tarrou said. "This situation arose at the end of the year before last."

Chen Chuan nodded slightly. This time period was very close to the time when the crack appeared in the World Ring. So the change in the crack might have been affected by that.

However, for his practice, this is not necessarily a bad thing. It means that his spirit can be directly connected to the opposite world, just like when the sky gate was opened.

Tarrou said, "The instability of the rift will also affect the surrounding seas. In the past two years, many fighters and trained individuals have appeared outside our island and Rowan Island. They are active around the sea. Perhaps they have noticed something unusual and, under the guidance of the forces behind it, want to find the existence of the rift. After all, our Danliu Pavilion has been here since the old days, and our former existence of the rift is well known."

Chen Chuan remembered the tremors in the sea water when he came here, and those people looking for the ring on the sea. Perhaps they were not looking for any ring, but used this as an excuse to find out the real reason.

Tarrou said, "I'm not really worried about them. The rift is very well hidden. No matter how hard they try, they won't find it. Even if they come to the island, I can handle them. I'm more worried about An Yao Hall."

"An Yao Pavilion?"

Chen Chuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Is it An Yao Pavilion, one of the three bloodline inheritances in the foreign land?"

Tarru said: "Yes, Danliu-kan and Anyao-kan were originally taught by the same master. Anyao-kan originated from Hongfa Master's second disciple He Miyue, and our Danliu-kan originated from the eldest disciple Zhuantuo.

Each inherited a portion of Master Hongfa's secret teachings, but the secrets of the two schools complemented each other, and they coveted each other's inheritance. Over a hundred years ago, in a battle, the last Fist Master of our Danliu School was killed by the Sword Master of Anyao School, and we have never recovered since then."
