Chapter 345 The Third Limit
Chen Chuan could feel that as this heat flow spread, the alienated tissues in his body seemed to break free from their shackles and became active, with a stream of vital energy continuously generated from within them.
This essence seemed to have been hidden in his body and existed in all the alienated tissues, but he had never been able to perceive it until this moment when he crossed that boundary and released it and used it for his own benefit.
With every breath he took, the vital energy grew stronger, and he felt it continuously strengthening the areas through which the heat flowed.
At the same time, he also felt that the force extended upward from the back of the spine, from the occipital bone, across the top of the skull, and finally sank into the center of the eyebrows and penetrated inside.
With a bang, it was as if some restrictions were opened. At this moment, just like the moment when he put on the boundary pass when he first entered the central city, countless lights, shadows and sounds returned to his eyes again.
The difference was that he felt his spirit was constantly rising and seemed to be separated from his body. He saw an infinitely vast vortex appearing in the sky, which seemed to contain many things that could not be seen or distinguished.
All sorts of noisy and indistinguishable sounds and lights surrounded him, as if trying desperately to squeeze into his mind, but he was not affected by them. Instead, he remained calm and remained himself, without any change in his emotions.
This was what Cao Guiqi had reminded him before. After breaking through the third limit using the old method, no matter what strange visions he saw, he should not pay attention to them and should try his best to keep his mind focused.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact, only a few breaths had passed. All the movements and disturbances disappeared together, and everything around returned to normal. Only at this moment, a ray of light seemed to flash in the depths of his dark eyes.
He bathed in the dazzling sunlight shining down from above, feeling the abundant power in his body, and realized that at this moment, he had truly entered the third limit.
At this moment, in the arena, the audience was watching the scene on the giant screen in shock.
In the entire scene, only Chen Chuan was standing there steadily, facing the dazzling sunlight, his collar and hair swaying in the wind at the intersection, and wisps of white mist rising from his body.
Behind him, bright red blood overflowed from the shallow pit and flowed to his feet, as if merging with the shadow behind him.
The display on the giant screen ended with the arrival of the processing bureau, and finally froze on this scene. The audience in the venue sighed with a mixture of satisfaction and regret.
Although the battle didn't last long, only a few minutes, the ferocity, strength, and impact displayed by the third-level fighter made them exclaim in excitement. At this moment, they were still not satisfied and were all asking who the young man who defeated Wei Wusheng was.
However, Chen Chuan was wearing the uniform of the Processing Bureau, and some people saw him putting his wide-brimmed hat aside, guessing that he was the expert sent by the Processing Bureau to deal with Wei Wusheng.
Why didn't they send out such a skilled fighter before? But it doesn't seem like a bad thing. Otherwise, wouldn't they have been able to see such an exciting battle?
At this moment, the screen above jumped and returned to the stadium. The host's high-pitched and passionate voice reverberated over the venue again. The audience suddenly realized that there was another game here.
However, most people were still immersed in the fierce battle just now and seemed to have no interest in the current game. It was only with the host's efforts that some atmosphere was barely created.
Yu Shen and Huo Yucheng came on stage in a mediocre atmosphere, but their performance was actually quite good, especially Huo Yucheng, who was not much affected by his surroundings. On the contrary, Yu Shen was a little irritable, but at least he was still above standard.
But no matter how exciting the fight between the two people was, the response of the audience in the venue did not seem very enthusiastic. After watching the fight between the third-level fighters and then looking at the fight in front of them, they always felt that something was missing.
The organizers of the competition also discovered this adverse effect, but they had of course considered this beforehand. By providing some drinks with added ingredients later, the emotions of most of the audience could be easily aroused and they would soon return to the previous fanatical atmosphere.
And during the first game, various companies launched advertisements for various combat implants, including some high-end combat implants that were under development.
Many companies later calculated that during this period, a large number of people came to consult about implant business and asked whether they could rely on high-end implants to achieve the performance level of a third-level fighter.
At the same time, in a secret underground building somewhere, those people looked at Wei Wusheng who was beaten to death in the light curtain.
One of them expressed regret, "Wei Wusheng still fell a little short after all. Luckily, our team members on the competition side coordinated well, allowing most people in Central City to see it. Our convergence and sublimation were close to our requirements. Unfortunately, the time was still too short. It would have been better if it had been longer."
"Wei Wusheng actually died like this. How could this student be so strong?"
"Wu Yi's... a reserve law enforcement officer from the processing bureau?"
One of them said, "This person seems to be more in line with our requirements than Wei Wusheng. I suggest we send someone to contact him and see if we can get him to..."
At this moment, the light screens of several resonance nests in the hall suddenly went out. Not only that, their boundary connections were also interrupted at the same time.
It was not until a moment later that the light curtain lit up again and the world gradually returned to normal.
The leader asked in a deep voice, "What happened just now?"
One of the resonators quickly replied, "We initiated the emergency shielding of the field..."
The leader frowned and asked, "What's the reason?"
The resonator hesitated and said, "We followed your instructions and investigated that student further. We did find something that seemed to be related to... uh..."
"What does it involve?"
"The General Affairs Bureau..."
Everyone present fell silent. After a while, someone asked, "Have the traces been cleared?"
The Resonator said hurriedly, "It's cleared. We interrupted the path and blocked the field connection before waiting for confirmation. The other side can't detect us."
The leader decisively said, "From now on, when it comes to this student, just focus on the surface information and don't investigate further."
In the Changsheng Hall of the Tianshu Gang, veteran Yu Hongming also saw the entire process of Wei Wusheng's death through the light screen of the resonator. Although it was his own apprentice who died, his face was very calm throughout, without any unnecessary expression.
Only at the end, he looked deeply at Chen Chuan who was standing there.
He lowered his head and glanced at Guan Chengqi, who was standing beside him with his fists clenched tightly. He said, "Kid, don't be so angry. This is the fate of us fighters. We must constantly defeat powerful opponents, or be beaten to death by stronger opponents. This is the path Xiao Wu chose, and he should bear the consequences himself.
Hatred is useless. You have to figure out whether you are practicing for yourself or for someone else."
He waved his hand, and a servant came up and took Guan Chengqi out. He took two steps and said to a disciple following behind him, "Xiao Guang, go and bring Xiao Wu's body back. Although he is no longer a disciple of the Tianshu Gang, he is still my disciple. Any expenses will be charged to my account."
The disciple said in a deep voice, "Master, don't worry. I will definitely take care of this matter for Senior Brother Wei."
At the intersection, Chen Chuan heard the sound of vehicles approaching in the distance, followed by bursts of rapid and sharp brake sounds, and hurried and chaotic footsteps gradually approaching.
Behind the messy and damaged vehicles, members of the processing bureau came out one by one. After arriving here, they all slowed down their pace. Many people looked at Chen Chuan with surprise and admiration.
The leading captain came up to Chen Chuan and nodded solemnly. He then quickly came to Wei Wusheng's body, looked at it, and after bending over to examine it, he breathed a sigh of relief. He put his hand on his shoulder and said to the bureau, "Report, Wei Wusheng is dead..."
After waiting for a moment, he glanced at Chen Chuan in the distance and said, "Confirmed!"
Seeing that they had taken over, Chen Chuan didn't stay where he was. He nodded to everyone and left. At this time, Ni Qianqian's call came.
Her voice was bright and clear, and she was in high spirits. "Brother Chen, you're amazing! This time you've earned face for me and our bureau. Let those nosy people try to catch Wei Wusheng."
Chen Chuan said, "Isn't it causing any trouble for Sister Ni?"
"What kind of trouble could it be? They're already praising you," Ni Qianqian chuckled. "You don't know, but within a short while, several of the older guys above me contacted me and asked me to communicate with you more."
Chen Chuancheng thought to himself, "It seems Sister Ni is very popular in the bureau."
Ni Qianqian couldn't help but giggle when she heard this.
Chen Chuan waited calmly. After a while, Ni Qianqian finally calmed down and said, "By the way, someone from higher up wants to see you. Brother Chen, why don't you take some time out to come to the bureau to handle it? Well, focus on your own affairs first and don't worry about any interference from outside. I'll help you block the bureau first."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "I do have something to do. Thank you, Sister Ni."
"You're welcome," Ni Qianqian smiled, "It's because I'm popular."
After Chen Chuan finished talking to Ni Qianqian, he walked aside. He first took back the Xuejun Sword and scabbard, put the sword back into the sheath, and then went to get his clothes.
At this moment, he noticed a man approaching, his coat and hat in his hands. He recognized it as Mr. Bai, Wu Yi's accompanying teacher, who gestured to him, "Student Chen, your things are here."
Chen Chuan took two quick steps forward, took it with his hand, and politely thanked him: "Teacher Bai, thank you."
Teacher Bai smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome." He looked him up and down and said with admiration, "You're truly outstanding! You're not even twenty years old yet, and you're already a third-level fighter. Students like you are very rare."
Some students will leave the academy and graduate after reaching the third level. Student Chen, can I ask what you personally think about this?
Chen Chuan knew that this option was available, but those students usually had been in the academy for several years, and he was not in a hurry now. He had been in the central city for less than a year, and he could enjoy many resources in the school that he could not enjoy outside.
“Students still have a lot to learn,” he said.
Teacher Bai said, "Yes, you seem to have only been in school for half a year. My advice is to stay for a while and see how it goes." He added meaningfully, "And there are some things that are only easy to learn and acquire in school. It won't be long before you understand."
