Chapter 287 Tracking
Chen Chuan's attack was not as reckless as when he faced Hong Fu. Instead, he was very cautious. If he wanted to break through Zheng Tongtong's defense, it would require certain strategies and skills.
After a few slashes, he saw how solid Zheng Tongtong's basic skills were. Every attack and every response was flawless and there was no loophole.
At this moment, he had an illusion that he was facing a round iron ball. No matter where he attacked from, it would be the same and there would be no gap at all.
Since the start of the war, Zheng Tongtong has been on the defensive. It's not that she didn't fight back, but she was waiting for the right opportunity.
Chen Chuan could sense that she must have realized that some of his strength had not yet been used, so at this moment, she was waiting for the opportunity to exchange his alienated tissues through the clash of the two swords.
Because even if there are two sets of alienated tissues replacing each other, there is always a connection between them. Even if the alienated tissues can be used separately without any scruples, the force they exert is based on the same bones and muscles. Forcibly pulling each other will only injure and cripple themselves first, and tiny pauses are inevitable.
If you are attacked at this time, you will be in a very passive position.
Chen Chuan did not stop his attack because of this. At this moment, he was also looking for a gap for Zheng Tongtong to connect his strength through the collision of swords.
But after a while, he discovered that the gaps between the latter were extremely unpredictable, as if wrapped in layers of cover, and there was no fixed pattern. He immediately realized that behind this was a whole set of sophisticated breathing and strength coordination, which he probably had not yet learned.
There is probably only one way out of this situation, and that is to wait for the opponent's attack.
Because when you attack, your flaws are also revealed, and that's when you might be able to find an opportunity.
After the two had fought for more than half an hour, Zheng Tongtong's sword suddenly became faster. It felt as if the sword in her hand turned into a swift shadow and slashed up three times in a row.
This happened to cut into the gap between the handover and replacement of Chen Chuan's alienated tissue, and these three knives were not aimed at attacking, but at blasting waves of force into his body.
When the first alienated organization to bear the brunt of the force instinctively unloaded, another set of alienated organizations replaced it, and another force came in immediately, which could only be unloaded again. However, when the third knife came, the alienated organization that took over the force for the first time could no longer be mobilized, and it was obviously unable to keep up with the rhythm.
At this point, under normal circumstances, there is no way out. Even if he releases the restraints of the alienated organization at this moment, he will not have time to exert enough strength in such a hurry.
However, seeing that he seemed unable to resist, he still made this choice, but this time it was not to stir up emotions and increase combat effectiveness, but through this action, he mobilized those more subtle and usually more difficult to reach alienated organizations, and forcibly moved the long sword that had been deflected back a little.
With a bang, the force made him retreat several steps in succession, but after reaching a distance, he still straightened his stance.
After Zheng Tongtong's three strikes, she seemed unable to sustain any momentum and was unable to catch up for a moment. She looked at Chen Chuan in surprise, then gave him a thumbs-up and praised him sincerely, "Young man, you blocked it beautifully!"
Teacher Zheng laughed and said, "That's right. Okay, let's stop here for now."
Chen Chuan exhaled slowly. The forced call just now was only able to express himself in a low state thanks to the recent strengthening of his internal organs and bones. But even so, he could still feel waves of soreness and discomfort, and those tiny alienated tissues that he didn't use on a daily basis seemed to have been torn apart.
Due to their distribution and functions, alienated organizations cannot be completely consistent. Naturally, there are differences in strength. Forcibly mobilizing those who are not strong enough will of course lead to such consequences. However, this problem is not unsolvable in the future, especially after this time, we will definitely find ways to strengthen it.
Teacher Zheng walked up to him and said, "I just saw that you've grasped the secret of replacing the alienated tissue branches. This is very good, because the offensive and defensive power techniques I taught you, mobilizing different alienated tissues, are preparations for this."
The method you came up with might suit you, but I see it still has some shortcomings. So I'll share what I know about the power and breathing techniques here. You can absorb and study them to make better use of them. There are many key points here, so listen carefully."
This time, he not only gave verbal instructions, but also used the boundary certificate to list pictures of alienated tissues on the light screen, demonstrating how the alienated tissues in each part should exert force, how to adjust and change, and what kind of breathing method should be used to coordinate, so that the fighters can be more natural in the transformation of alienated tissues.
Only by coordinating strength and breathing can skills be used. Chen Chuan's previous adjustments only used strength, and there was almost no proper coordination with breathing. Now, after hearing this, he immediately understood it in his mind. He believed that if he were to play again, it would never be the same as before.
In addition to these, Teacher Zheng also taught him some techniques for using energy, such as accumulation, closing, leading down, and releasing, and finally said:
"I've almost already taught you the key points of strength application and breathing techniques. If your only goal is the assessment, then you've already learned enough. But if you want to pursue higher goals, this is far from enough."
Chen Chuan nodded. He knew very well that it was impossible to learn all these things at once. Now he could only swallow them whole. He had to go through a long period of training and constantly fight with the enemy to experience and comprehend them before he could gradually digest them into his own.
Besides, it is hard to find such a good sparring partner as Zheng Tongtong outside, so he certainly would not miss this rare opportunity.
Seeing the determined look in his eyes, Teacher Zheng couldn't help but say with relief, "I can see you want to go beyond this. Very good. The rest of the course this semester will be practical application and intensive training. I won't limit the time. Except for days off, you can come anytime."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Teacher Zheng."
"Then let's continue training."
Chen Chuan said hello, picked up his sword and walked forward to continue practicing with Zheng Tongtong, experiencing and digesting what he had just learned in actual combat.
In the next few days, he traveled back and forth between Xuangong Building and Teacher Zheng's house, and time gradually came to the end of March.
That day, on the public channel of him, Wu Bei and Lao Qi, Lao Qi posted a photo. It was a photo of him and a little girl, probably his daughter. There was a birthday cake in front of them. Lao Qi looked rather decadent, but the little girl was quite cute and made a funny expression at the photo.
Chen Chuan checked the time. It should have been yesterday. He asked, "Old Qi, how are you doing lately?"
"That's good. I paid the fine, so it's over. Now I can accept commissions again. However, I heard that after the Golden Shrimp Team disappeared, no one seems to be accepting those unusual commissions recently."
Chen Chuan said: "I am currently undergoing training and I am afraid I will not have time to take on commissions for the time being."
Lao Qi said, "No problem, Brother Chen, I'll follow your arrangements. Whenever you need to see me, Lao Qi, just give me a call."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "But Lao Qi, I still need you to keep an eye out. If you see any abnormalities that could have a large-scale impact, please let me know immediately."
Although there is no need to rush into ghost stories, if they have a large-scale impact, as someone who is capable of handling such matters, he will not sit idly by.
Wu Bei spoke up at this time: "Brother Chen, don't worry, I'll help you watch over it.
Chen Chuan said, "Brother Wu, I'm relieved you're here." Then he thought of something, "Old Qi, do you know where I can buy something that kids like?"
It has been almost two months since he arrived in the central city. He plans to send some things from the central city to his aunt, uncle, and cousins. Although everything can be found on the website, most of the things recommended there are relatively expensive.
Lao Qi said, "I know that, Brother Chen. I'll send you an address. You can definitely buy it there."
After Chen Chuan waited for a while, an address was sent to him from Jie Ping. It was a place called "Baoguo Market", which was right next to Yinglu District.
He looked at the sky. It had been raining intermittently for the past few days, but now it was a rare clear sky. He thought it would be better to get things done now.
So he changed his clothes, walked out of the Xuangong Building, and took the tram all the way to this market. He indeed found that there were quite a variety of things here, and not only the goods from the central city, but also the goods from the surrounding remote cities could be found here.
This saved him from running around. He first bought scarves and gloves for his aunt and uncle, a set of hats for men and women, and a pipe and ashtray produced in the central city specifically for his uncle, as well as good cigarettes recommended by Lao Qi.
What was given to my aunt was a bundle of fine cloth, a set of exquisite porcelain tea sets, and local food specialties from cities surrounding the central city. What were given to my cousins were a few cans of candy, scattered toys and small items.
In addition, he saw a beautiful record player that no one was interested in, so he simply bought it. The store also thoughtfully gave it a lot of records as a gift.
He also picked out a pair of glare-decorated sunglasses produced in the central city for Cheng Zitong. After paying for them, he entrusted the shipping service. However, for safety reasons, he did not fill in the address and directly filled in the Baofeng District Police Station as the shipping location.
When he came out, the sky was getting dark again. He quickened his pace and entered the station in time before the rain started. While waiting for the bus, Wu Bei's voice came from the boundary: "Brother Chen, it seems that someone is using the boundary field to follow you."
Chen Chuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Are you sure?"
Wu Bei said: "Although it was done very covertly, the same frequency appeared around Brother Chen several times. It's not a coincidence."
Chen Chuan hummed, "Can you tell me where the other party is?"
Wu Bei said: "The man was very cautious. Sometimes he was there, sometimes he wasn't. I didn't want to alarm him, so I didn't rush to track him down."
Chen Chuan said: "Don't worry, just look for opportunities."
"good."
Chen Chuan's first thought was Wei Wusheng. There must be someone who resonates with Wei Wusheng and cooperates with him. There may also be a force supporting him behind the scenes, otherwise he would not be able to do those things.
At this time, the tram in front of him arrived at the station. He stood up from his seat, holding the Xuejun Sword and followed the crowd into the car.
