Chapter 346: Shatter Illusion
Chapter 346: Shatter Illusion
After a brief conversation, Teacher Bai waited for Chen Chuan to put his coat back on and then walked back with him, asking, "Chen Chuan, are you going to watch the arena tournament later?"
Chen Chuan shook his head and replied, "I'm not in the mood."
"That's understandable. You don't need to watch those matches anyway."
Teacher Bai smiled and said, "Then you should head back. If you're interested in the future, you can come to my class. It's free, and while I can't guarantee what I can teach you, I might be able to give you some inspiration."
Chen Chuan sincerely said, "Thank you, Teacher Bai." Elite-level experts all have their unique skills, and it's only in the Academy that he can easily showcase them.
Teacher Bai's eyes showed appreciation. To be honest, he wasn't a combat specialist, and Wei Wusheng's fighting prowess was formidable. Going up against him would likely result in a loss.
But Chen Chuan had literally used his fists to hammer Wei Wusheng to death. Moreover, Chen Chuan possessed such strength and achievements at such a young age.
Even so, Chen Chuan remained modest and humble, which was truly rare. To be frank, if it had been him back then with such abilities, he would have been boasting by now.
As for now, the more he knew, the less he felt like boasting.
He sighed and said, "Well then, Chen Chuan, see you later."
Chen Chuan nodded and parted ways with Teacher Bai. After Teacher Bai left, he thought for a moment and walked to the side, picking up Wei Wusheng's hammer. This item was his trophy, and he needed to take it back.
Although this object could be considered evidence, Wei Wusheng's actions didn't need a hammer to prove them.
The officers from the Processing Bureau saw this but said nothing. When they learned that Chen Chuan was leaving, they even arranged a vehicle for him.
The higher-ups in the Processing Bureau were pleased with Chen Chuan's performance and were already considering how to reward him.
After all, Chen Chuan was a reserve officer for the Processing Bureau. This time, he had personally ended Wei Wusheng, and the entire process was clearly displayed to the citizens of Central City, effectively redeeming the Bureau's previously tarnished reputation.
More importantly, Chen Chuan had become a Third Dimension Fighter. For such a fighter, they couldn't simply treat him as a mere student.
Especially for someone like Chen Chuan, who was system-trained and had reached this level before the age of twenty, everyone could see his limitless potential and that he could go anywhere.
To exaggerate, countless people would be vying for his attention, and they must find a way to reward and compensate him adequately. Only then could they prove that Chen Chuan's actions were carried out under the arrangements of the Processing Bureau.
As Chen Chuan got into the car and headed back to the Academy, he noticed numerous voice messages on his Boundary Token. He opened one from Wu Bei, whose excited voice exclaimed, "Chen, you're amazing! You have no idea how much I wanted to hammer myself when I saw that!
This was a rare opportunity for Wu Bei to witness a Third Dimension fight, and the frequency adjustment allowed him to experience it in first-person view from start to finish, an incredibly thrilling experience.
After listening to the message, Chen Chuan opened another one from Pan Xiaode, who said, "Chen Chuan, and the Processing Bureau. We should have a rematch when I reach the Third Dimension."
There were also messages from acquaintances, including one from Zou Handan, mentioning that the Serpent Sect offered services for Third Dimension Fighters and was willing to provide him with several free sessions.
At that moment, he noticed a large sum of money deposited into his account.
Alongside this, there was a message from Tan Zhi:
"Chen Chuan, this bounty is for you. It's because you killed Wei Wusheng, and the team unanimously decided to transfer the money to you. Also... the last time we encountered Wei Wusheng, didn't you save us, Chen Chuan?"
Chen Chuan sent a message in reply, saying, "Tan Zhi, I was just saving myself at that time."
Soon after, Tan Zhi responded, "Regardless, thank you, Chen Chuan."
As Chen Chuan was returning, the entire process of him hammering Wei Wusheng to death continued to play on the arena's screens and was recorded. It was being disseminated through various channels, and its impact was spreading.
At a watchtower, An Cheng watched the entire process, unable to describe his feelings. Chen Chuan had become a Third Dimension Fighter, and a spot had opened up, meaning he wouldn't have to compete with him. Yet, An Cheng couldn't shake off a sense of defeat, a feeling like he had lost even before the competition.
Just then, a call came through on his Boundary Token. He took a glance and answered, "Tan Zhi?"
Tan Zhi's voice came through, "You saw it too?"
"I did," An Cheng replied.
Tan Zhi said, "Don't overthink it. Some people are just destined to be different."
An Cheng was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Are you comforting me?"
"No, I'm just helping you accept reality."
An Cheng's mouth twitched, but he felt this was more appropriate.
Sun Rao continued, "It's not a bad thing to realize this early on. The Bureau will probably assign Chen Chuan an official position, and they might even recruit a new student from the Academy as a replacement. Don't let yourself be surpassed by a newcomer again."
An Cheng let out a cold laugh. "Me, surpassed by a newcomer?"
However, after ending the call, a sudden uneasiness crept into his heart.
Talent was an inexplicable thing. Although he had spoken confidently in front of Sun Rao, if another person like Chen Chuan appeared, he would truly start to doubt himself.
Central City, in a certain area of the underground district.
In a two-story building constructed from scrap metal and makeshift panels, Lu Ke was polishing some training equipment under an old lamp.
At that moment, an irregularly shaped projection screen outside the window suddenly lit up.
His attention was immediately drawn, and he walked to the window, holding something in his hand. He pulled the curtain aside a little.
As a resident of the lower district, even with some boundary tokens, they still couldn't directly access Central City's information through normal channels because the city would field-shield the underground locations.
But this didn't mean the lower district was completely isolated from the upper district. Some important information was relayed by resonators using certain technical means.
Many of these resonators served the gangs and organizations in the underground district, but there were also some altruistic individuals who shared what they saw with the people below.
These people called themselves Lamp Lighters, ironically, while no one from Central City above seemed to care about their actions, they often faced pursuit from other resonators working for the lower district's gangs and organizations.
The one in front of him was likely one such case.
Lu Ke was initially just curious, not particularly interested in the affairs of Central City above. But when he saw the specific situation and the people in the projection, he suddenly became excited. "Master, it's Little Brother Chen! It's him!"
A knocking sound came from outside the room, and Yu Gang entered with the help of a cane. One of his legs had been replaced with a prosthetic limb, while the other remained empty. Similarly, one of his arms was intact, while the other sleeve hung empty.
He approached the window and watched the scene on the screen, sighing, "It's him."
Lu Ke, excited, said, "My senior sister never believed me when I talked about Little Brother Chen's prowess. Now she can't say I was boasting!"
He watched as Chen Chuan casually swatted away a flying car and witnessed the exaggerated speed and destructive power during the fight. He stared at the screen, stunned, and said, "Master, with this level of destruction... has Little Brother Chen reached the Third Limit?"
Yu Gang's voice turned solemn. "It's the Third Limit, no doubt about it." He looked upwards, his heart adding a silent thought: perhaps it's not just an ordinary Third Limit.
Lu Ke placed his hand on the boundary token. "I want to show this to my senior sister." Putting down the object in his hand, he dashed downstairs.
After being driven back to the school, Chen Chuan returned to his dormitory to freshen up. Then, changing into a new set of clothes, he decided to make a trip to Mo Tie Mountain.
Even after achieving the Third Limit, he still felt some doubts in his heart that needed clarification.
Half an hour later, he left again, driving a Gard car to the Cao Family Estate.
This time, Ding Shu's attitude towards him was completely different from before. If previously he had treated Chen Chuan as an ordinary guest, maintaining basic courtesy and even showing a hint of distance, now he was extremely respectful and a few degrees warmer.
Upon arriving, Chen Chuan met with Cao Guixi, who invited him to sit down. Cao Guixi then asked Ding Shu to prepare some tea and said, "I just watched your battle. To display such prowess upon reaching the Third Limit, your talent surpasses my initial expectations."
Chen Chuan said, "Senior, although I've reached this limit, I still have some questions in my heart that I'd like to clarify. I also seek your guidance on the path ahead."
Cao Guixi nodded and said, "We have time today, so we can talk at leisure. You broke through the Third Limit using the old method. Do you know the ancient sayings about martial arts cultivation from the past?"
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "One of my teachers once explained that, according to the ancient ways, the first layer is called 'Essence Seed' and the second layer is called 'Guard Life'."
Cao Guixi agreed, "Well said. It seems your teacher understands the old methods. And for the third layer, the ancient term is 'Shatter Illusion'!"
His voice turned solemn, "When a fighter reaches this layer, those with talent can see what ordinary people cannot see, hear what ordinary people cannot hear, and feel what ordinary people cannot feel.
Among them, some overturn the old cognitions. That's why, in the past, they were considered communicators with divine beings, which is also why ancient fighters often had connections with the Serpent Sect and other unorthodox groups."
Hearing this, Chen Chuan's heart stirred slightly. He suddenly thought of the strange scene he had witnessed earlier, which seemed to fit this description perfectly.
