Chapter 417: Guidance
Chapter 417: Guidance
Outside the combat hall, the student named Yu had just returned and couldn't help but notice the Gard Vehicle parked by Chen Chuan. He took a good look at it, admiring its modifications.
"Wow, a modified Gard Vehicle?" He circled around it, his eyes filled with appreciation and envy. He had long desired to own such a vehicle.
Unfortunately, in the area where the combat hall was located, even if he bought a car, it would eventually end up being given away. So, despite having the thought, he had never taken any action.
Just then, he noticed the car lock—a slightly protruding disc. His gaze fixed on it, "Is this... a twist lock handle?"
He tried touching it with his hand, but shook his head. Only someone with exceptionally strong finger strength could unlock it. At least, he couldn't do it. The owner of this car must be a master.
What is such a master doing here? He glanced inside the hall and listened closely. As he focused, he heard the sounds of a fight coming from within—the breaking of the air indicated that it wasn't just children playing.
His expression turned serious. He unfastened the iron chain wrapped around his arm and hung his custom weight ball. Then, he quickly walked inside.
The combat hall might look simple from the outside, but its interior was well-equipped. Sunlight streamed in through the high windows, illuminating the entire hall.
At that moment, he could see the children sitting around the edge of the hall, while Lu Fang was sparring with a young man in his late teens.
Lu Fang took the initiative, but the young man only stood in place, blocking his attacks. No matter how Lu Fang attacked, he couldn't force him to move, and the young man didn't seem to retaliate. After several moves, Lu Fang was effortlessly knocked away.
However, it was clear that the young man was holding back, and his control over his power was precise. Lu Fang fell to the ground, rolled, and stood up without any signs of injury.
Student Yu realized they were just sparring, so he put away his weapon, but his heart was secretly shocked.
Lu Fang had sparred with him privately, and their skills were on par. But he could sense that in a life-or-death battle, he might not be able to win.
And that was before.
Lu Fang had been working hard. Besides teaching, he spent his remaining time refining his physique and honing his skills. Every day, he was the earliest to rise and the last to sleep, and his combat abilities should have improved. Yet, he seemed powerless against the young man.
"This... this is..."
After taking another look, he trembled. Wasn't this the person he had seen on the video defeating Wei Wusheng? A Third Limit Combat Solver?!
For a moment, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"What's going on here?"
Lu Fang wasn't one to show off, so he didn't mention that Chen Chuan was his junior. But Student Yu was quick-witted, and after the initial shock, he soon realized the truth. His face showed a mix of disbelief and excitement.
Inside the hall, Lu Fang was knocked down again, which had happened multiple times during the fight. But he wasn't merely taking the blows; each time he engaged, he gained new insights.
Chen Chuan maintained his position, not using more than second-limit strength and speed.
This was just a guidance session; crushing someone purely with physical strength would be meaningless. So, he used as much technique as possible, even restraining his metamorphosis organization to match Lu Fang's level.
Even so, Lu Fang was still no match.
This was because, even though they used similar metamorphosis organizations, Chen Chuan's utilization rate was far superior. Moreover, their understanding of techniques and judgment in combat were on different levels.
Through his encounters with various Third Limit Combat Solvers, Chen Chuan had accumulated rich experience. As soon as his opponent made a move, he knew what they intended and could naturally counter them, resulting in a one-sided display.
After being knocked down hundreds of times, Lu Fang finally stopped charging forward. He was drenched in sweat, breathing heavily, but his expression was energized.
He felt that in that short period, he had greatly improved, not just in physical fitness but also in his understanding of combat and the control and application of power.
Lu Fang saluted Chen Chuan with a fist, expressing his sincere gratitude, "Thank you, Chen Chuan!"
Chen Chuan said, "Lu Fang, don't be so polite." He suggested, "During our sparring, I noticed some inconsistencies in your movements. You might need to make some adjustments."
Lu Fang was taken aback, "Oh? Where?"
Chen Chuan approached and patted his waist, back, and limbs, pointing out the issues he had observed.
Combat solvers below the Third Limit don't have obvious biofields, and they only become apparent during battles or after consuming stimulants. Through the previous fight, Chen Chuan had also observed Lu Fang's condition.
Student Lu Fang had a solid foundation, but there were a few areas in his metamorphosis organization that needed reinforcement.
After a while, Chen Chuan returned to the car. He asked, "Lu Fang, is everything okay over there?"
Lu Fang replied, "No issues. When she was young, well, around thirteen, she just wanted to live her own life."
After Zhao Qian's death, Number Thirteen, as a puppet without a master, could no longer be controlled. The house became her residence, and she renamed herself "Shi Yi," a Resonator who used her skills to accept commissions and earn a living.
As for Zhao Qian's other loyal servant, after realizing they couldn't handle the situation, he refused to eat or drink and passed away after half a month. The two of them buried him in the backyard.
"I won't give up searching for your sister, Lu Fang. I will investigate it thoroughly once I have the strength to do so," Lu Fang said.
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "See you again, Lu Fang." He opened the car door, got in, and drove off into the dazzling lights of Central City under Lu Fang's watchful eyes.
