Atlas of Heaven and Earth -
Chapter 524: Recall
Inside a Training Hall somewhere in Flourishing Victory District, Su Wei was bare-chested, repeatedly striking a target.
Each strike involved all of his muscles, and sweat flew everywhere. It looked like he had extreme Strength, yet each blow landed without causing any damage to the surface of the target. This required extremely precise Control over his power.
Since arriving in Central City, he had been on standby, but he received a salary every month.
The money wasn't a lot, but it was enough for him to live in Central City. Getting paid without working was something he never dared to imagine before.
Apart from essential living and training materials, he sent the rest of the money to the families of his injured and fallen teammates.
Central City felt like a paradise for Cultivation. Not only could he find Martial Combat forums, but he didn't have to worry about the Activity Index all the time, nor did he have to guard against those hostile to him.
Of course, it wasn't that Central City was so safe, but as a Third-Limit Martial Artist , ordinary people posed no threat to him.
Moreover, the dangers of Central City were far less than those of the Convergence Zone. In the Convergence Zone, everyone had to hide in the cities of the settlements at night, and no one dared to leave the city, while he could go out anytime, anywhere.
While he was engrossed in training, his Boundary Token suddenly rang. He stopped immediately, checked it, and answered, "Captain ?"
Chen Chuan's voice came from within: "Su, I need to see you."Su Wei's expression immediately became serious, and he asked, "Where?".
He then saw a location on his Boundary Token.
"Meet me here."
Su Wei looked at it. The location was also in Flourishing Victory District, and the time was before eleven o'clock, which was a little over an hour away. It wasn't far from here.
He said, "I'll be there right away."
After ending the conversation, he took a quick shower, changed into clean clothes, and went out to take the tram. After about twenty minutes, he arrived at the designated location.
Arriving there, he found that it was a long-abandoned commercial district. There were no familiar dazzling neon lights nearby, only graffiti and weeds on the walls, and some scattered homeless and babbling people wandering around. Occasionally, cats and dogs darted across the street.
As he was looking around, a voice sounded in his Boundary Token: "Su, come here."
Su Wei glanced in the direction indicated by the Boundary Token. It was a high-rise building that had been abandoned halfway through construction. It looked old. He walked along the gravel road, entered the building, looked up, and then followed the bare staircase to the roof.
Chen Chuan was waiting here. He said, "Su, Central City is under close surveillance recently. Every move is being watched. In addition to the authorities, various large company are also paying attention to Martial Artist . It's more convenient to talk here."
Su Wei was not from Central City, so he was not sensitive to the situation there, but he could tell from these words that something was up.
He recalled that City Patrol often came to inspect his apartment recently. He remembered that it wasn't like this when he first entered Central City.
He said solemnly, "Captain , please tell me what's going on."
Chen Chuan didn't say anything immediately, but looked at him and said, "Speaking of which, after I recruited you, Su, I haven't tested your level. I want to see it today."
"Alright!"
Su Wei responded. His expression was very serious. Although Chen Chuan was not as old as him, he was able to determine the number of enemies he faced and the fighting style used just by relying on the Boundary Token that day. His Strength was undoubtedly very high.
Moreover, after arriving, he had an irresistible sense of oppression, which made him tense up involuntarily, and made it clear to him that his level was above his.
The rooftop was relatively open, and there was no one in the building, so he could let go and fight.
He stepped back a little, looked at Chen Chuan , and seeing that he had no intention of attacking first, he tapped his feet and rushed forward. The floor shook violently, and a large circle of cracks immediately appeared on the ground.
After arriving, he punched up.
Chen Chuan stood there without moving, only raising his arm to block it, squarely catching the punch.
At this time, Su Wei was leaping in mid-air. After the two sides made contact, the Internal energy originally contained in his body suddenly burst out.
This was a two-stage force technique.
This attack method was widely circulated outside, but not many people could use it well. He was one of the best.
Of course, the purpose was not to knock down Chen Chuan at once, but because the floor could not withstand the Strength of the two of them. With this blow, the place where Chen Chuan was standing would inevitably break. If he lost his balance, even if he couldn't defeat Chen Chuan , he could definitely find a better opportunity.
But to his surprise, Chen Chuan firmly withstood the Strength he sent out, but his feet didn't even shake. Not only that, but there was no response from the floor below.
He immediately realized that Chen Chuan's Mutated Tissue had steadily resolved the Strength and directed it to other directions. This was a very Gao Ming Skill.
Seeing that the first blow was unsuccessful, he kicked out in the air before landing. The connection with the previous punch was very good, showing his body's powerful coordination.
Chen Chuan reached out and slapped, once again blocking his kick.
Su Wei finally landed at this time, and rushed up without hesitation, launching a fierce offensive against him.
Chen Chuan did not take the initiative to attack, and stood still, using only one hand to resist his offensive.
The more Su Wei fought, the more shocked he became, and at the same time, he admired him very much. Because to be able to do this, it proved that Chen Chuan's Speed and Strength were far superior to him, so he could show such composure in the face of his offensive.
After trying to make dozens of moves, he knew that there was no point in continuing like this, so he retreated and said, "Captain , I'm only this good with my bare hands. I'm going to use a Weapon."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, Su, feel free to use it."
Su Wei pulled out a dagger from behind his waist. In fact, his preferred Weapon was a pair of Short Spear, but he didn't have a Weapon Permit and couldn't carry such conspicuous weapons on the road, so he didn't bring them with him today, but having a dagger was the same.
He made some adjustments, and then suddenly stepped forward, stabbing the dagger.
Chen Chuan did not allow the dagger to stab him. This time, he took out both hands to intercept and Parry the dagger. He no longer defended passively. While accurately blocking the dagger, he would emit a stream of Internal energy, which would penetrate into Su Wei's body.
Su Wei's offensive was greatly restricted by the backlash of this Internal energy. The moves could not be connected at all, resulting in extremely limited threats.
Realizing that he could not fight head-on, he immediately changed his style, and his offensive routines became more bizarre. He used some hidden killing moves, but none of them worked.
Although Chen Chuan did not deliberately use Spiritual Power, the energy field naturally emitted outward. He could clearly feel the fluctuations in the energy field, so no matter how Su Wei used his feints, they were clearly displayed in front of him, and none of them succeeded.
Su Wei did not give up in the face of such a predicament. He suddenly leaped backward, and then stepped heavily on the ground. Immediately, a crack extended from under his feet to where Chen Chuan was standing, and the floor also collapsed.
After seeing this, Chen Chuan jumped back, but while he had just jumped up and was still in mid-air, Su Wei suddenly threw the dagger in his hand, and with the Strength of his stepping on the ground, he jumped up, flipped in mid-air, and threw another dagger that he had never used before. The latter one actually arrived in front of Chen Chuan one step ahead of the former.
Chen Chuan saw that this dagger was extremely fast and had great penetrating power. Although he could withstand it, this was a friendly match, so there was no need to do so. Therefore, he turned his body and dodged sideways.
However, just as he made this move, the dagger that fell behind suddenly accelerated forward!
Oh.
Chen Chuan immediately saw that this was a two-stage force attached to it, forming a set of combined Skills with both real and fake attacks before and after. Not only that, but the figure behind flashed, and Su Wei almost rushed up with the dagger at this moment, kicking towards him.
Chen Chuan had not yet landed at this time. He looked calmly at the dagger slowly approaching, and it seemed that in the next moment, the weapon would pierce his brow.
Su Wei couldn't help but be startled. The kicked foot did not kick towards Chen Chuan , but suddenly raised high, and with a snap, kicked the dagger away. However, due to the hasty use of force, he lost his balance and had no landing point, so he fell down.
At this time, a hand stretched out from above, grabbed his wrist with a snap, and hung him in mid-air. A series of loud noises came from the floor below, but several floors were broken through one after another, and there was a large hole below.
He looked up and saw Chen Chuan standing on the rooftop railing, looking down. Then, with a gentle pull, he pulled him up.
Su Wei used the force to jump up and landed on Chen Chuan's side. He thought for a while, sighed and said, "It seems that my last move was unnecessary. Captain shouldn't need my help."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Su, you just reacted subconsciously."
He roughly understood Su Wei's Strength. Compared with Qin Qing Que and Yuan Qiu Yuan , his basic skills were not as solid as theirs. This may be due to the special environment of the Convergence Zone, but he was very, very experienced. If they really fought to the death, the two of them might not be able to suppress him.
After all, he grew up in the Convergence Zone. Those who were not good enough had already been eliminated.
It is worth mentioning that, not to mention the last subconscious move, Su Wei saw that he was standing still and never tried to go behind him to attack him. One reason should be that he knew it was useless, and the other may be due to his personality.
But this persistence should only be for teammates. I believe he would not be so pedantic when facing enemies.
Now he knew this teammate better. This was a person with self-insistence, but not without knowing how to adapt.
He looked outside the rooftop, at the distant urban area, and said, "Su, there will be some situations in Central City next. We may participate in missions at any time. I will need your assistance and cooperation then."
Su Wei had been doing nothing for so long, and he felt very uneasy. Now that he heard the order, he finally felt relieved. He raised his hand and gave a salute in a slightly stiff posture, and said solemnly, "Yes, Captain !"
