Chapter 66: Invitation Class
Chapter 66: Invitation Class
After guiding Chen Chuan for a while, Cheng Zitong continued, "You practice the Zhouyuan Power Technique, which, compared to other power techniques, doesn't have a specialized direction or a distinct expression. From my limited knowledge, it seems that strengthening your foundation is crucial."
"Apart from training, there are also medicines. In the past, the medicinal ingredients that could produce such effects were extremely rare and hard to find. Fortunately, that's no longer an issue today; the only difference is the price. I'll prepare some for you when I get back."
He took out a card from his briefcase and slid it towards Chen Chuan.
"The rewards for your two assignment tasks have been deposited. I've opened an account for you, and the money is all in there. You can withdraw it whenever you need it. If the medicines require an additional payment, I'll deduct it from the account. If it's not enough, I'll let you know."
Chen Chuan took the card and thanked him.
Cheng Zitong reminded him, "Although you've mastered the power technique, remember to use it sparingly. Each use will place a certain burden on your body, which can be repaired with medicine, but there's no need to do this unless you're in a dangerous situation."
Chen Chuan, who possessed the Secondary Self, didn't have to worry too much about the burden caused by the power technique. However, he took note of Cheng Zitong's advice.
Cheng Zitong then became slightly more serious and said, "Apart from this, your transmutation organs have been restrained, but we still need to observe them for a few more days to see if their growth rate slows down. This is very important, and we should know the results in a few days."
"I'll also pay attention, and I'll inform you if there are any changes," Chen Chuan assured him.
Cheng Zitong said, "There's no need to be so tense. Even if they continue to grow, they will definitely go through a period of slowing down. At this stage, you don't need to be as tense as before."
After saying this, Cheng Zitong's expression relaxed a bit. "Now that you've mastered the power technique, I can also breathe a sigh of relief..." He smiled, "It's been more than two months since you enrolled, and you haven't attended any public or invitation classes, right? It's best to attend one or two before the midterm exams. Even if you're just going through the motions, it's better than having your name missing from all the classes. Although it's not a big deal, someone might make a fuss about it."
"Then I'll go to one in the next few days," Chen Chuan replied.
After ensuring that he had conveyed all the necessary information, Cheng Zitong left satisfied.
After Cheng Zitong left, Chen Chuan took out his alarm clock and carefully sensed the passage of time. Indeed, the successful mastery of the Zhouyuan Power Technique had accelerated the growth of his Secondary Self.
It had increased by more than seven minutes compared to before! If he added the previous scattered increments, the total exceeded a quarter of an hour.
After successfully mastering the power technique, while continuing to strengthen himself, Chen Chuan should be able to participate in more real combat situations, thereby obtaining more overlapping time.
He thought for a moment and walked out of the dormitory. When he returned, he had two invitation letters for invitation classes in his hands.
Previously, due to time constraints, he had no time to waste except for necessary assignments and rest. Now that he had mastered the Zhouyuan Power Technique, Cheng Zitong had reminded him again, so he decided to attend a class.
Invitation classes were open to both Class A and Class B students, depending on the instructor's preference. However, most Class A students would receive an invitation, usually sent out a day in advance.
The two invitation letters in his hand included one for the next day's class and another for the afternoon class of the same day. He noticed that the letter was from a teacher named Xu Wei from the Grappling Division. Since it was already sent, he decided to attend and listen to this teacher's lecture.
As he flipped through the invitation letter, he noticed a small line of text inside, which made him raise his eyebrows in surprise.
Originally, he had planned to have lunch with Luo Kaiyuan and Feng Xiaoqi, but neither of them was around. Wei Dong, who lived across the hall, was also nowhere to be found. They were probably training with their instructors. So, after eating lunch alone, he returned to the dormitory to freshen up and then made his way to the designated venue for the invitation class.
It was his first time strolling around Wu Yi Academy to take in the scenery.
By November, most of the maple trees on both sides had turned red, creating a beautiful blend of golden and crimson hues. Autumn leaves occasionally drifted down, enhancing the autumnal atmosphere.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the designated venue, a semi-circular arena with a raised lecture platform at the front.
He had arrived early, about twenty minutes before the class was scheduled to start, so he chose a seat in the middle, close to the aisle.
Soon, students began to trickle in, most of them girls, which wasn't surprising since the Grappling and Grappling Divisions had the highest number of female students.
At that moment, a girl with a headband tied around her fist and short hair cut to her ears walked in, wearing a white training uniform. Her agile figure and light steps drew whispered buzz of excitement.
"Look, isn't that Guan Xinyin?"
"Yes, Guan Laoshi's daughter. She's a Class A student and is said to be highly ranked among the female students. She's not only skilled but also very beautiful."
It was Mr. Xu's class today; otherwise, she, a Class A student with a regular mentor, wouldn’t have come.
"So what if she’s a Class A student? Look at that tall male student sitting over there; he’s also a Class A student."
"Right, he is a Class A student too."
After starting his training, Chen Chuan had become very sensitive with his five senses, and now, with the power technique, he was even more perceptive. He knew they were talking about him, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.
However, he soon felt a gaze on him and immediately looked over. He met a pair of clear, black-and-white eyes, and it was Guan Xinyin looking at him. He nodded politely at her.
Guan Xinyin also nodded politely, acknowledging the greeting between the two Class A students.
As more students arrived, the time was almost up. A young teacher in his early thirties walked up. This must be Mr. Xu. His fingers were thick and strong, giving the impression of great power, and his eyes were sharp, piercing like needles when he looked at someone.
Mr. Xu first scanned the room, pausing slightly on Chen Chuan before quickly moving on. He introduced himself and then began the lesson.
This class mainly discussed how to integrate grappling with other boxing techniques. Mr. Xu's words were concise and powerful, and his explanations were precise and easy to understand.
However, theoretical knowledge can be dry and hard to grasp and remember in one go. Therefore, he also called a few students up to demonstrate, and the process went smoothly, so the class progressed quickly.
Mr. Xu then said, "Hard grappling is often used in conjunction with free fighting. Usually, one strikes first and then grapples. However, for joint locks, using wrestling in combination is more effective in martial arena matches. Today, we have a guest from the Wrestling Division, Qiu Xin, who is also a graduate of Wu Yi, here as my special assistant."
As he spoke, he clapped first, and the students below followed suit. Soon, a tall, muscular man, probably in his twenties, walked up from the side. His body was broad and sturdy, and his feet, like stakes, touched the ground silently, as if a very resilient large ball were being supported on water.
Qiu Xin first bowed to everyone and then said, "It’s an honor to assist Mr. Xu’s class today. I’m not a teacher and not good at speeches, so to demonstrate clearly, I need a student to come up and help."
"I’ll do it." A clear voice rang out, and it was Guan Xinyin standing up, saying, "I’ll assist, Assistant Qiu."
Qiu Xin looked at her a few times, shook his head, and then his gaze fell on Chen Chuan as if it were casual. "This student, could you come up and assist?"
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "Sure." He stood up from his seat and walked to the front of the stage under the watchful eyes of the other students.
Guan Xinyin glanced at him and then sat back down.
Chen Chuan came to Qiu Xin and asked, "Assistant Qiu, how would you like me to assist?"
Qiu Xin said, "Just a simple demonstration. Regular students might not be able to protect themselves well, but I believe this student will be fine."
"In that case," Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I have some questions about wrestling techniques, and I’d like to ask Assistant Qiu for some guidance. Is that okay?"
Qiu Xin smiled and said, "Of course, that’s fine."
After the two exchanged a few words, Mr. Xu stepped back, giving the stage to them, and the students below watched with interest. Many were freshmen who had never seen a Class A student in action, and this was a rare opportunity.
Qiu Xin stepped forward, grabbed Chen Chuan’s shoulder and waist, and said, "Don’t move, just stay like this. I’m going to demonstrate the Spinning Ground Strike. Chen student, please protect yourself."
Chen Chuan just looked at him calmly.
After saying this, Qiu Xin’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and his grip tightened. A force suddenly penetrated Chen Chuan’s body. Then, without moving his hand on Chen Chuan’s shoulder, he suddenly turned, coming behind Chen Chuan. With his other hand, he lifted Chen Chuan up and slammed him down!
The stage shook, and the students below were all shocked, many letting out cries of surprise. Guan Xinyin also frowned.
Qiu Xin seemed to be taken aback, appearing anxious as he ran a few steps forward to Mr. Xu and said, "Mr. Xu, I think I used too much force. Quickly, call for medical aid."
However, Mr. Xu’s expression was strange, and he stood there silently. The students below were also unusually quiet.
Qiu Xin looked around, seemingly realizing something, and took a step back.
At that moment, Chen Chuan slowly stood up behind him, straightened his sleeve, and said slowly, "Assistant Qiu, it seems you used too little force."
