Chapter 279 Invitation
On the first day of March, Chen Chuan arrived at Teacher Zheng's residence early in the morning. Today he will learn how to attack and enter the most important training stage of the entire teaching.
After the teacher and student met, Mr. Zheng, according to previous practice, first taught him various offensive power techniques when using sword moves. After he had mastered the basics, he said:
"The power of attack is different from that of defense, but the alienated organizations we call upon complement the previous ones. Only by combining the two can we be complete. So remember to not neglect this stage of defense training as well as the previous one."
After giving the instructions quickly, he brought Chen Chuan to the familiar training ground, took a long sword similar to Xue Jun's sword from the rack, and threw it to him.
After Chen Chuan took it, he found it extremely heavy and immediately realized that it was a heavy knife. He looked up and saw that Zheng Tongtong was holding a similar knife in his hand.
Teacher Zheng said, "Now, it's your turn to attack. Use only the power-carrying techniques I just taught you. Find a way to force Tongtong back from where he is."
Zheng Tongtong swung the knife in her hand lightly, her strong arm like she was fiddling with a piece of straw. She said, "Junior, go ahead and do it."
Chen Chuan understood that it was time to switch between offense and defense. He wanted to use this opportunity to see how Zheng Tongtong would defend. He turned his wrist and said, "Senior Zheng, get ready."
He knew that both the father and daughter were straightforward people, so after he finished speaking, he stepped forward and used the method that Teacher Zheng had just taught him to mobilize the alienated tissue and exert his strength, and chopped down Zheng Tongtong's head with a knife!
However, this powerful and heavy sword strike only made a slight contact sound. The two swords clearly touched each other, but it felt as if they did not hit each other. No one knew where the force went.
Zheng Tongtong's posture was very relaxed, and it was hard to tell how much strength she used, but with just such a casual block, she was able to drain all of his strength.
It seemed that she didn't even sink under the weight, as if she was truly using the alienated tissues throughout her body to share all the strength, and not a single bit of it leaked out.
Chen Chuan took a breath, adjusted himself, and slowly raised the knife. If he wanted to break through the defense, he had to increase the efficiency of his strength and thus use more power in an instant.
Just like in the previous defense, he must gain experience in the offense, and try to figure out the techniques of using strength again and again to break through the obstacles ahead.
Offense may seem easier than defense, but it is actually more challenging.
But one thing is that the attack is always proactive. When to launch the attack and how to launch it are all in his hands.
This time he raised his hands and held the long sword high. All the alienated tissues in his body were mobilized one by one. After feeling that he could not mobilize them anymore, he took a bow step forward and slashed down heavily!
Zheng Tongtong raised her knife and blocked it with a clang. Like an immovable weight, she blocked his knife with her wrist without shaking at all, and even the subsequent force was absorbed by her.
Chen Chuan could clearly feel that this was far from Zheng Tongtong's limit. Her strong body seemed to be able to withstand more power, and his knife attack was not able to force her to use her full skills.
But he knew in his heart that in fact Zheng Tongtong could use far fewer alienated organizations than he did. It was just these alienated organizations that were used to this extent that easily resolved his offensive. The efficiency and variability of using alienated organizations was exactly what he needed to learn.
So instead of feeling disappointed, he was cheered up. Through Zheng Tongtong's application, he saw a better way to use defense, and he also learned defensive skills while practicing offense. This was simply a double gain.
continue!
He took a few steps back, turned around, and slashed with his sword. Zheng Tongtong held the handle of the sword with one hand and the spine of the sword with the other, pushed it forward, and with a clang, he blocked it again.
When Chen Chuan slashed down with this blow, the force was extremely great due to the momentum and the weight of the blade itself. However, Zheng Tongtong relied on his own strong bones and alienated tissues to absorb this force, and the actual force retained in the blade seemed to be very small.
Chen Chuan then tried various slashing attacks. As the efficiency of his power-using skills improved, not only did his attack speed increase, but the power of each swing also increased significantly.
But no matter how he improved, this senior sister Zheng was like a sponge, always absorbing and dissolving his strength, making it impossible for him to exert the power of the sword.
After three whole days, no progress was made.
But he was not discouraged. He could truly feel his improvement, and the effect of the radiant light was gradually showing, and the strength of his muscles and bones was increasing.
Especially later on, he discovered that Zheng Tongtong was no longer blocking the attack like she did at the beginning, but was taking the same approach as before, actively blocking his attack before the blade completely fell to the bottom. This showed that he was gradually approaching the defense limit of this senior sister.
In the following days, his sword strikes were not as tight as before. He would often prepare for a while before striking out, and then gradually increase the rhythm of his strikes on this basis.
On the seventh day, as he slashed with his sword, Zheng Tongtong's sword suddenly vibrated like a wave. She couldn't help but take a half step back. She couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, and was really happy for him: "Junior brother, well done!"
Chen Chuan held the knife in his fist and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister. I'll let you go."
This is really a concession, because the blade Zheng Tongtong used was probably not his most skilled one. If it was a weapon he was familiar with, then the previous blow would definitely not have been so easy to force him to move. In terms of skills, he still has a long way to go.
Teacher Zheng said with satisfaction, "It's good to know your shortcomings, but don't be too modest. How long have you been training? This performance is quite good. You've passed this training. Next is light sword training, and then light and heavy dual sword training."
According to your progress, you should be able to master the basics this month. After that, it's time to enter the real combat training. That's the real focus. If you don't practice well, don't even think about passing my assessment. Okay, go back and rest first, and come back in the middle of the month."
Chen Chuan thanked Mr. Zheng and his daughter. If possible, he would like to continue training, but the two of them also have their own things to do, and he cannot neglect some of his daily training.
In a blink of an eye, it was another day off. He called his aunt's home and Teacher Cheng respectively, told them about his recent situation and assured them not to worry.
He also received a telegram from Gao Ming, saying that the matters at hand had been almost dealt with, the procedures had been completed, and he was ready to go to the central city.
It will just be a little later than originally scheduled and will arrive around the end of March. The details will be notified in advance.
At noon, while he was looking through some public combat materials from the academy, Ni Qianqian called him. Thinking it might be about the bureau, he answered the call. Ni Qianqian's voice said, "Brother Chen, are you in the academy building?"
Chen Chuan said: "Yes, is there any other mission to be carried out?"
"Yes and no, is it convenient for you? I'll take you somewhere, come over right away."
Chen Chuan said: "I have time."
"See you later then."
Chen Chuan was very concerned about some of the affairs of the Processing Bureau. After all, as his investor, the resources provided by the Processing Bureau could effectively improve him. He packed up and came down from upstairs.
After waiting for a short while, he saw a red sports car coming from the opposite corner. It drifted and stopped in front of him. Ni Qianqian raised her purple goggles and tossed her wavy hair. "Brother Chen, get in the car."
Chen Chuan walked over, opened the passenger door and got in. He fastened his seat belt when the car sped away.
Ni Qianqian said as she drove, "Wei Wusheng is really good at hiding. He's been hiding everywhere lately. And what about that case you were involved in before? Do you remember those attackers?"
Chen Chuanshuo said, "I remember, it seems one of the leaders escaped."
Ni Qianqian said, "That's him! We were originally tracking him, but later discovered that he had escaped to the Lower City through the Moss Gang's channels. Someone in the bureau suggested that you go down and track him, but I immediately rejected it. What a joke! The Lower City is a big problem. Although you are capable, you are not at that level yet."
But I rejected this. They may arrange another matter for you soon, which is more troublesome, so you have to pay attention. "
Chen Chuan said: "Thank you, Sister Ni, for reminding me."
"Well, another thing, someone wants to see you today and specifically asked me to come find you."
"To see me?"
Chen Chuan thought about it and came up with a possibility.
The sports car did not leave Wuding District. A few minutes later, it turned into the largest private green park in the district, parked outside, greeted him, showed his identity to the security personnel at the entrance, and then took him inside.
There is a large lake here, where people can be seen leisurely boating on the surface. At this moment, the spring breeze blows, and the willows on the shore sway slightly. There is no colorful light and shadow that can be seen everywhere outside, and it seems very clean.
After crossing an arch bridge and walking through a series of wooden corridors, they arrived at a pavilion. An unremarkable old man was directing a child. When they approached, he turned around and glanced at Chen Chuan, "Young man, you're here."
Chen Chuan said, "Mr. Cheng." This old man was Cheng Zitong's uncle, Cheng Shang. He had met him once in the Yangzhi City Court and had exchanged a few words with him.
Cheng Shang waved his hand, letting the child play by himself. He walked to the stone table in the middle of the pavilion and sat down, saying, "You two young people, please sit down."
Ni Qianqian walked to the side and sat down on the beauty's bench. Chen Chuan thanked her and sat down on the stone bench in front of Cheng Shang.
Cheng Shang said, "Young man, Zitong kept praising you in front of me when we were in Yangzhi City. I've also been keeping an eye on you since you came to Central City. It seems you've adapted quite well. I asked you to come here today because there's an internal exchange competition and I'd like to ask if you'd like to participate. Miss Ni, please explain."
Ni Qianqian said, "Brother Chen, you should know that besides Wuyi College, there are other traditional teaching traditions in Central City, right?"
Chen Chuan nodded to indicate that he knew. For example, the disciple taught by his teacher Cheng Zitong was nominally his classmate, but he had never seen him from beginning to end. At most, he was just a nominal member of Wuyi.
Ni Qianqian pointed at herself with her slender fingers and said, "Sister Ni, I came out this way, but it's not advisable to work in isolation. Therefore, disciples taught using traditional methods will find ways to conduct internal exchanges and discussions with some students from Wuyi College every year to test their own strengths and weaknesses.
Since you are considered an acquaintance, Senior Cheng suggested that you participate this time. However, we will not let people work in vain, we will pay them, Brother Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Chuan said sincerely, "I am very willing to learn from and improve with all the students."
