Chapter 336 Arena
Uncle Ding waited for a moment and said, "Young Master, are you asking 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 have been 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, and it was clear and blue, with only a few clouds occasionally at the edge.
The sun shines on the flowers and plants in the courtyard. A refreshing breeze blows, 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 sat 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 across from me. He was still dressed like a scholar from the old days, in a wide, light green robe and a jade-white hairpin in his bun. He said, "It's been almost two months. I guess, Brother Chen, you're almost at the point of breaking through to the third limit. So, tell me, what problem are you facing now?"
Chen Chuan said, "Senior Cao, I feel like I'm on the threshold of a breakthrough. As long as I make up my mind, I can make it. But in my heart, I feel like something is still missing."
Cao Guiqi said, "You are using the methods of the old times to break through the third limit. This 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 at the point where it can be completely integrated.
There must be something in your subconscious mind that you want to do but haven't yet accomplished, leaving a trace of worry in your mind. Only by brushing it off can you achieve a complete spiritual sublimation."
He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "This is a good thing, because most people can't even perceive the inconsistency. They either rashly or eagerly step over it without being fully prepared, and even feel complacent about how easily they were able to cross that line."
He said calmly, "Little do they know that they will have to spend more time correcting 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're here, why not have a cup of tea before you leave? This cup of aged tea may not be as refreshing and sweet as new tea, but it is mellow and rich. It can make people savor it for a longer time and help them calm down."
Chen Chuan thanked him, reached out to pick up the cup and took a sip. The moment he drank, 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 extremely clear at this moment.
He sat quietly, looking at the branches and plants outside being swayed 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 drifted in from nowhere. Uncle Ding came over and said, "Master, it's going to rain again, and this time it may be heavy."
Cao Guiqi said, "Brother Chen, I won't keep you any longer. Go back early."
Chen Chuan stood up and bowed slightly to Cao Guiqi, "Goodbye, senior, 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 solve it.
When he came to 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, and it seemed as if the rain had become heavier in just a few breaths.
The wipers started moving, and as the car started, the headlights pierced 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 block 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 feel that it is most likely the former, because where the anomaly exists, few people approach, 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 that was the case, perhaps when he was solving the ghost story that day, Wei Wusheng was there, just across the street from him.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a car sped past his car at high speed, splashing a large amount of water. The front suddenly became hazy. The wipers shook, quickly brushing away the water that hit the car window.
He looked up and his keen senses allowed him to 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 vehicle to the city security department.
In the heavy rain, he returned all the way to Xuangong Building, took the elevator to the 49th floor, and when he opened the door of the dormitory, he heard a chirp from inside.
He looked over and saw a little creature in a cozy nest made of brambles and silk feathers. It was sticking its head out and calling to him, and it was also 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 feathers in richer colors. Of course, its appetite has also increased a lot.
Because every day when the sun rises, this little thing will make a pleasant whistle towards the sun, so 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 other aspects of "Chao Ming" were difficult to describe, 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 undergoing 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 movements. Whenever he goes in or out, he will make a sound 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. If he took the initiative to look for him, it might not be useful, 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 sounds coming from there.
He thought about it, put his hand on the border, and sent a message to Tan Zhi.
"Mr. Tan, have you been watching the ring matches recently?"
Tan Zhi contacted him immediately.
"Yes, I've been going every day for the past month. You know what, the competition is really exciting. The competitors this time are no small matter. Although we're only halfway through and haven't even entered the second half, the key players for the promotion have already been determined. The most intense elimination rounds are taking place over the next two days. Student Chen suddenly asked about this. Do you want to go too?"
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Yes, my progress in cultivation has slowed down in the past two days, so I plan to take some time to go and have a look."
Hearing what he said, Tan Zhi said hurriedly, "There's no need to rush to slow down. It might 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 bus provided by the school. It's safer that way."
Chen Chuan asked, "Are you on guard against Wei Wusheng?"
Tan Zhi sighed and said, "Yeah, I originally thought the Pei brothers were very powerful, but in the end they were killed by Wei Wusheng. They are really just a name without substance. I don't even have any hope in 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 normal third-level fighters, but dealing with someone like Wei Wusheng might really be beyond their ability to cope.
Tan Zhi said, "Apart from the academy, the fighting arena is actually the safest place right now. Central City's strongest security is concentrated there. Not to mention Wei Wusheng, even the security forces of large companies can't get in. I heard that some of the original cruise ship passengers chose to stay nearby."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll meet you tomorrow." After chatting for a few more words and agreeing on a 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 headed towards the school bus parked in front of the building.
He raised his hand in response to Tan Zhi's wave from the car, and at the same time contacted Wu Bei: "Brother Wu, don't hide my whereabouts these two days. If anyone is looking for me, please pay attention to where I came from, but don't alert them."
Wu Bei immediately said, "I understand." He suddenly became excited. Having worked with Chen Chuan many times, 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 down next to Tan Zhi and said hello. In just a moment, all the students who came to watch the competition arrived. The car door moved closed and slowly drove towards the arena.
Due to heavy traffic, the bus was moving slowly, and it took about twenty minutes to reach the venue. This massive circular structure could accommodate 90,000 people. Thanks to the presence of the barrier, even those at a distance could clearly see every detail 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. The roads were full of vehicles from the city patrol and security forces. When they saw the Wuyi College bus coming, several two-wheeled motor vehicles immediately stepped forward to guide it, and the bus followed them to the venue's parking lot.
