Chapter 650: The Choice
Chapter 650: The Choice
Chen Chuan approached the Snow Lady Saber, picked it up, and grasped the hilt, drawing out a portion of the blade. A gleam of snow-like brightness flashed within the room.
Initially, the Palace Clan had used Heroic Judge One to deliver something to the Central City, but when the person carrying it was killed, the Snow Lady Saber had swallowed the object.
The Palace Clan had gone to great lengths to bring this item in, so it couldn't be something ordinary.
After the Snow Lady Saber fused with it, its subsequent performance confirmed this.
Based on the information and clues he gathered later, it was almost certain that this item was related to the Ferris Wheel Corporation.
At first thought, the item seemed somewhat like an Active Conscious Entity.
However, the Ferris Wheel Corporation already had its own Active Conscious Entity, so there was no need for such an elaborate ruse. Moreover, an Active Conscious Entity wouldn't require such meticulous concealment to be smuggled into the Central City.
This item was likely a threat to the Central City, something they feared might be detected by the Spatial Information.
Considering that the World Ring already existed at that time, and the Ferris Wheel Corporation should have known about the splitting of the Pure White Gas Bag, he had reason to believe that this item was most likely targeting the split body of the Pure White Gas Bag.
After the Snow Lady Saber absorbed that object, it indeed became very interested in the split bodies, and subsequently absorbed two of them.
It was a reasonable assumption that the Ferris Wheel Corporation wanted to absorb the split bodies. After the collapse of the Ferris Wheel Corporation, most of the documents were destroyed in advance, but based on the remaining records, the Ferris Wheel Corporation and the foreign island nations had always wanted to create their own Central City.
If all the Ferris Wheel Corporation's plans had come to fruition, including defeating the joint fleet of the two companies at sea, it would have been possible for them to achieve this goal.
International politics did not permit wars between nations, and at most, there would only be corporate wars. If the Ferris Wheel Corporation gained support from the Linax Federation, the Daxing government would find it difficult to intervene openly, and they might have to temporarily accept this situation.
Now, the Snow Lady Saber had almost completely fused with the item.
Whether this item could grow to the level of the Pure White Gas Bag was not important to him, but as long as it possessed a portion of the split body's abilities, it would be of great help to him.
This meant that he might be able to use this object to open the rift.
If he could truly achieve this, there was no doubt that his mental cultivation would have a solution. He wouldn't have to search for the rift that might exist outside, anymore.
Just as he was thinking this, the Snow Lady Saber seemed to sense his thoughts and trembled slightly, as if responding to him.
His eyes flickered.
He realized he needed to wait a little longer, as the Snow Lady Saber needed some time to awaken.
However, he could sense that it wouldn't be long now, perhaps just a few days.
He sheathed the Snow Lady Saber and walked to the side, opening the suitcase. It was filled to the brim with Purity Substance.
Three units were enough.
Over these days, he hadn't stopped absorbing the Purity Substance at night, even though it was scarce, it was purer and clearer. With this supplement, he could already meet his needs.
He took out a vial, looking at the shimmering object inside, and suddenly thought about how, over the past few months, the Purity Substance had spread from the Central City to various parts of the world. As time passed, there would undoubtedly be more people breaking through that one layer of restriction.
The future world would be full of turmoil.
He removed the seal and tilted his head back, swallowing the vial of Purity Substance.
After a night, he looked at the suitcase, now missing three vials, and stood up. He went to wash up.
Today, he planned to return to the Wu Yi Academy.
Previously, he had gone on a foreign vacation, and the teacher's verification object was temporarily stored in his original dormitory at the academy. He intended to retrieve it and take the exam to access the academy's resources.
Hong Fu's sparring could continue, whether it was for refining his strength or mental tempering. The assistance Hong Fu could provide was unmatched by others.
After changing into a new set of clothes, he left the mansion and boarded a private vehicle, heading back to the Wu Yi Academy.
His residence was not far from the Wu Yi Academy, just a ten-minute drive, but the road was unusually noisy. Upon reaching the entrance of the Wu Yi Academy, the traffic was incessant, and all vehicles seemed to be heading in one direction. He glanced into the distance, and the Dimensional Token displayed the location, where a faint commotion could be heard.
This year's academy arena competition was underway.
During the three months he was away, the annual arena competition was supposed to be held, but due to the influence of the Pure White Gas Bag's splitting, this year's competition had been postponed by a month and was still ongoing.
When he had communicated with Wei Chang'an, he learned that they had gone to watch the competition, but without citizen status, they could only stay on the outskirts.
As the armored private vehicle reached the Mystic Palace Tower, Hong Fu's voice sounded, "Manager Chen, welcome back to the Wu Yi Academy. You can enter the academy through the teacher's passageway."
The vehicle turned, and according to the Dimensional Token, it entered the tower through another passageway. There was also a dedicated elevator for teachers here.
He ascended from here, returning to his original dormitory. Along the way, various messages and notifications flooded his Dimensional Token.
First, he was informed that he could change dormitories and move into the teacher's apartment, which offered more space and better training grounds.
He could deal with this later.
However, as a teacher at Wu Yi, he also had teaching responsibilities.
Every year, the academy assessed each teacher to determine their suitability for the position. Each semester, he had to provide reasonable instruction to three or more students, ensuring that at least two of them passed their courses.
This wasn't a problem, as he was using the academy's resources, so it was only natural that he had to contribute in return.
Following Hong Fu's instructions, he activated his teacher permissions and course subscription. The course pricing was based on the academy's average, and regarding the specialized teaching subjects, he selected all the hand-to-hand projects and excluded the skill-based ones. He then submitted his choices.
After a moment, the Dimensional Token displayed a verification and approval message, and his information appeared on the academy's platform interface.
Once his courses were listed, teachers on the platform immediately sent him messages of congratulations and greetings, regardless of whether they knew him or not.
This was because, in addition to being a Wu Yi teacher, he also held the position of Investigation Director at the Handling Bureau, which had a deep connection with Wu Yi. Some teachers could technically be considered his subordinates.
He replied to each message, and just as he was doing so, he suddenly heard a prompt tone, indicating that someone had subscribed to his course. He hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.
He took a look and saw that a new student named Jiang Xin had subscribed. Checking the student's profile, he learned that Jiang Xin had graduated from Yangzhi Wu Yi this year and was admitted to Central City.
He glanced at the student's photo, which showed a boy with a sunny smile and a slightly shy demeanor.
After looking it over, he clicked 'Agree' on the Dimensional Token and saw that the student was currently attending a public class. So, he adjusted the course time to the following day.
With just one more student to tutor, he would meet the minimum requirement.
However, Jiang Xin might have heard of him, and since they were both from Yangzhi, Jiang Xin had signed up for his course right away. Others might not be so quick to sign up, and there would likely be a period of observation. But with an entire semester, he wasn't in a hurry. If necessary, he could even have Wei Dong fill a spot.
At that moment, in a certain lounge, Fan Cheng and Kong Yao were browsing the platform when they suddenly noticed that a new teacher had joined Wu Yi, and students could purchase their courses.
Fan Cheng clicked on the profile and exclaimed in surprise, "Kong Yao, look, is this... is this Chen Chuan?"
Kong Yao took a look and widened her eyes in astonishment, "It's really Chen Chuan!"
"Chen Chuan became a Wu Yi teacher?"
The two stared at each other in disbelief. We were classmates before, and now you're my teacher? However, they weren't exactly out of touch with the world, and they were quite concerned about Central City. They knew that Chen Chuan seemed to be working at the Handling Bureau and held a high position.
Fan Cheng quickly skimmed through the introduction and read aloud, "Chen Chuan, Wu Yi Level 3 Teacher, Third Limit Fighter, Investigation Director of the Handling Bureau..."
When he read this title, he swallowed hard. The position of Investigation Director carried significant weight, and he was well aware of its implications.
He continued reading, "Specialized in teaching courses... Hand-to-Hand Techniques, Comprehensive Techniques?"
His eyes widened in surprise. What did Comprehensive Techniques even mean? It meant that he could teach all hand-to-hand techniques, whether Free Fist, Grappling and Throwing, or even Throwing and Embracing.
This wasn't something to be taken lightly. It required certification and approval from both the academy and Hong Fu. The fact that it was listed meant that the upper echelons of Wu Yi and Hong Fu acknowledged this result.
Fan Cheng stared at the screen for a while, then turned to Kong Yao and said, "Kong Yao, what do you think? Should we purchase two lessons from Teacher Chen?"
Kong Yao hesitated, "Why?"
Fan Cheng looked at the interface and said, "Since we enrolled, we've followed many teachers, but our progress has been limited. Every time, we barely pass the assessments. Do you know how nervous I am every time we wait for our results? I'm afraid that the next second, we'll be sent to the fighting arena."
"Now, everyone is working hard. If we fall behind, we might be the ones sent to the arena.
But I feel like I'm hitting a bottleneck, and you probably feel the same, right? However, the teachers we've found are all more or less the same. Even with private lessons, we seem to make progress initially, but soon we're stagnant again. Teacher Chen's progress is something I've never seen before. I think he might have a secret. Why don't we try taking his lessons?"
Kong Yao was hesitant. She believed that Chen Chuan's rapid progress was purely due to his innate talent. But purchasing a lesson or two wouldn't hurt, and they could always switch teachers if needed. She nodded, "Alright, let's give it a try."
