Chapter 257: The Start of School
Chen Chuan searched on the Boundary Vessel and found that large corporations and banks offered safe deposit box services. However, the insurance services provided by the corporations were extremely expensive, with a minimum duration of one year, five-digit insurance amounts, and requiring multiple times the deposit as a down payment, making it unaffordable for most.
On the other hand, smaller storage companies were not reliable in terms of security. Even setting aside the possibility of external robberies, there was no guarantee against internal theft.
So, he asked Wu Bei through the Boundary Vessel, "Brother Wu, do you know of a suitable place to temporarily store these things?"
Wu Bei thought for a moment and replied, "Brother Chen, if you trust me, why don't you leave them with me? I have a warehouse where I usually store some miscellaneous items. There's 24-hour security patrol at my apartment complex, so it's quite safe."
Chen Chuan considered it and agreed, "Alright, I'll leave the items with you for now. I'll transfer them once I find a suitable place."
After reaching an agreement, Chen Chuan began to deal with these items. Due to the large quantity, it was impossible to take everything in one go, so he contacted Old Qi to bring the car and load all the items, which were then transported to the miscellaneous warehouse prepared by Wu Bei.
The usable drugs for the Second Limit were packed into a parcel and taken by Chen Chuan, along with the strange tales he had collected. These should be sufficient to support his martial arts cultivation for a considerable period.
He also kept the stack of materials, intending to take them back and read them slowly.
Mr. Wu had left behind his cultivation records from the Second Limit to the Third Limit, which were invaluable. In a sense, these records were even more valuable than the drugs.
Drugs could be purchased, but these records were personal accounts of a fighter's cultivation, not something that could be bought. If not for Mr. Wu's initial intention to teach students in the future, these records would never have existed. Once leaked, he would have no secrets from others.
After returning to school, Chen Chuan secluded himself in his dormitory, cultivating and studying these materials.
In terms of combat theory, he had some gaps in his knowledge, only grasping some critical information.
This was understandable due to the upper management's intentional restriction of information channels. Students at Yangzhi Wu Yi Academy were initially unaware of altered tissue, let alone understanding these things. Moreover, the learning period at Yangzhi Wu Yi Academy was very short, and students started external learning from their second year, focusing primarily on combat training. Many might not even reach the Second Limit, and understanding this at the initial stage would be useless, wasting time.
Even after graduation, unless one pursued teaching or aimed for higher combat levels, there was no need to comprehend this.
Now, with this material, Chen Chuan could make up for this aspect.
He Xiaoxing had once told him that the First Limit to the Third Limit was essentially a whole, and from Mr. Wu's records, it seemed to be the case. There were no obvious barriers, only the growth of altered tissue to that extent.
The importance of talent was greater than imagined. From the perspective of a fighter, it seemed that one's future upper limit was determined from birth.
Therefore, this stage didn't focus on breaking through limits but on how to better arrange and utilize one's altered tissue.
However, the problem here was more complex. Guiding the growth of altered tissue was a science.
Mr. Wu was very professional, delving deeply into both techniques and theories. He would periodically supplement and add to his earliest records, indicating new insights.
When learning from He Xiaoxing, the usual approach was to let him experience something first and then understand why. It was very targeted, and many things didn't seem like something an ordinary person could achieve.
Mr. Wu was different, explaining training points in a way that anyone could understand and apply, a style suited for the masses.
Chen Chuan compared what he learned with Mr. Wu's records, feeling a great sense of accomplishment. He knew some of these things, but couldn't express them as clearly as Mr. Wu. So, whenever he saw a description that accurately conveyed his thoughts, he felt a sense of clarity and understanding.
After carefully reviewing the First Limit to the Second Limit, he focused on the Second Limit to the Third Limit, the key section.
Based on the description, he compared it to his situation and estimated that he was in the latter half of the Second Limit.
Now, with the fusion of the Second Self, his physical qualities doubled, and the strength and growth of his altered tissue also doubled. However, none of these changes were visible, and his body and altered tissue showed no external differences, remaining consistent with before the fusion.
Mr. Wu provided detailed teaching plans for each stage, and through these, Chen Chuan understood what he should focus on and which aspects of training to strengthen.
These training methods didn't involve additional drugs or equipment but relied solely on skill refinement, allowing students to self-correct and enhance their altered tissue, a truly frugal approach.
Perhaps it was this long-term teaching and research feedback that allowed Mr. Wu to accumulate rich experience, which later enabled him to establish the Void Practice System. Unfortunately, he was unable to complete it in the end.
After reviewing these techniques and movements, Chen Chuan felt very inspired. If it weren't for his cultivation in the Zhou Yuan Jinfa method, most students would only have a portion of altered tissue, and many teaching methods were developed specifically for these areas.
Mr. Wu did not approve of this approach. He believed that continuing with such training would only prematurely deplete the students' potential and unilaterally pursue combat power. The higher one goes, the harder it becomes, and he believed that overall coordination was the most important aspect.
However, according to the data listed by him, although in the short term, the traditionally enhanced trained students were stronger and could quickly develop combat power.
But if they weren't naturally talented, they would generally stagnate after reaching a certain boundary, and later on, they could only rely on implants to make up for their deficiencies.
However, the students taught using Mr. Wu's summarized methods had greater room for growth, and the data in the records also supported his theory.
Chen Chuan was deeply convinced when he saw this. Coordination and holism were what he had always valued, and this training method was something he could adopt.
There were also significant reactions and characteristics of altered tissue at various stages during the cultivation process in the notes. In this way, he could also clearly understand his progress and abnormalities, which was very useful.
Next, he had to quickly familiarize himself with these techniques.
Ten days passed in a flash.
After the last holiday in January, time arrived at February 1st, the official start of the school year at the Head Academy. On this day, around 8 a.m., Chen Chuan discovered that on his Boundary Vessel, there were suddenly many more course projects on the academy platform than before.
He took a look and found that all these additional courses were public and the teachers were not from the Ji Bei Dao Wu Yi Head Academy but from the highest Head Academy.
After reading the introduction, he understood that the highest Head Academy would send a group of excellent lecturers to various Head Academies every year to teach courses. These courses could be chosen to attend without payment, but there was no one-on-one detailed instruction.
Since these were public courses, they were not displayed on the platform before the start of the school year. Previously, Mr. Wu had used this information gap to create anxiety.
At this moment, a prompt appeared on his Boundary Vessel: "Student Chen Chuan, welcome to the start of this semester's learning. As you have a mandatory assessment item this semester, please select a teacher in this field within three days. If the student gives up, please provide an explanation. If no choice is made, a certain number of evaluation points will be deducted."
Chen Chuan looked at it. Every student in the academy had evaluation points, which were linked to assessment scores and the academy's commissions.
Students with high scores enjoyed more educational resources. If the score dropped to a certain extent, they would be expelled, no wonder Tan Zhi had specifically guided him for a point the other day.
While browsing, another voice sounded from the Boundary Vessel: "Is this student Chen Chuan?"
Chen Chuan couldn't see the contact person and could only see that the message was from the school's administrative management. He replied, "It's me."
"If you're not busy now, please come to the Special Stationed Office on the 72nd floor."
Chen Chuan replied, and after thinking for a moment, he quickly tidied up and left. He took the elevator to the 72nd floor. As the elevator doors opened, a man walked towards him.
This man was in his forties, with slightly white temples and an elegant demeanor. He seemed to be preparing to take the elevator, and as he brushed past Chen Chuan, he suddenly glanced at him and smiled, "Are you student Chen Chuan?"
"Yes, sir. Are you a teacher?" Chen Chuan asked.
The man smiled, "I'm Ling Jianxing, the assistant from the President's Office. You can call me Assistant Ling. The Head Academy warmly welcomes outstanding students like you."
Hearing his name, Chen Chuan's heart stirred, and he said, "Thank you, Assistant Ling."
Assistant Ling stared at his eyes, "Hmm, have you met me before, student Chen?"
Chen Chuan nodded, "I think I saw you and Assistant Ling during the platform inquiry, but I wasn't sure just now."
Assistant Ling smiled, "Is that so? Student Chen, if you have any opinions, please do share them with me. Well then, I wish you success in your studies."
After he finished speaking, he entered the elevator. At this moment, a voice transmitted from his Boundary Vessel: "Wu Ruo has not contacted us for more than ten days. We checked, and the last person he met was this student Chen. He probably targeted this student, but now he's gone. Could it be related to this student?"
Assistant Ling said playfully, "Perhaps."
"Perhaps?"
Assistant Ling turned around, and as the elevator doors slowly closed, he watched Chen Chuan's figure walking forward and said, "I'll keep an eye on it."
