Chapter 805: The Swordmaster of Erwen Island
Chapter 805: The Swordmaster of Erwen Island
After watching the entire documentary, Chen Chuan felt that he had gained a lot from it. The fighter in the film did not hold back and generously shared his skills.
His fingers were intertwined, and a faint light glowed on them. In the documentary, this technique allowed him to shoot out a spiritual flame, piercing through an entire rock wall.
Not only that, but the crew found a gray-feathered eagle, a symbol of the Linax Federation, behind the pierced rock wall, its head also precisely melted away.
It was one of the fastest flying eagles in the Yingliu region, and the fighter had not seen it beforehand. He managed to hit it through the rock, which seemed like a flashy display of skill at first glance.
However, through the fighter's explanation, it was not just about the technique of using the spiritual flame. More importantly, it was about locking onto the prey in an instant with one's spirit, which was usually difficult for fighters to reach. This was an ancient skill of the Firstborn.
In the documentary, he did not hide anything and openly shared the specific methods of using this technique, not just superficially, but the actual practice steps.
As Chen Chuan recalled the fighter's words, the light on his fingers gradually shrank. This technique of concentrating the spiritual flame into a line possessed immense destructive power and appeared to be both concealed and fast. If used well, it could potentially pierce an opponent's head instantly, ending the battle.
However, after practicing for a while, he dispersed the light on his fingers.
Firstly, it was not convenient to use this technique here, and secondly, he felt that even if he forced it, he would not be able to match the fighter's level.
It was not a matter of a gap in strength between them, but rather, this technique required a deep and refined understanding of controlling the spiritual flame. Additionally, that unique spiritual skill could not be mastered instantly. Forcing it would only result in a clumsy imitation, serving no purpose.
Nevertheless, if practiced well, it could become a deadly move.
The fighter's willingness to openly demonstrate his skills in front of others led Chen Chuan to speculate that he might be using this method to attract the attention of other fighters, thereby increasing his influence and gaining recognition for his ideas. Perhaps he also hoped to receive assistance from others.
This intention was evident from his name change to "Ahthava," which meant "Guardian" in the context of the Firstborn.
Indeed, it was a clever strategy. If he could gain enough influence among the global community of fighters, the Linax Federation would have to think twice before taking any action against him.
While this approach might expose his techniques and make him a target, it seemed that he was well-prepared for such a move.
After watching the documentary, Chen Chuan asked the steward to play a travel documentary filmed abroad, purely for entertainment.
With the airship's speed, it would take only two to three days to reach Erwen Island.
There wasn't much he could practice in that time, and training might deplete his energy, so he decided to rest and rejuvenate his spirit, ensuring he would be in top form for the upcoming battle.
Even if it was just a friendly spar, he did not intend to take it lightly but would face it with his full strength.
Two days later, the airship arrived at a large island, part of the An Ying Archipelago, known for its picturesque scenery, beaches, deep-water ports, and luxurious resorts. Every year, countless tourists flocked to this island, which also housed a military port. At that moment, three Changwei-class warships from Great Prosperity were docked there.
The Erwen Island, home to the Wave Surge Pavilion, was located half a day's journey from this island. As it was privately owned, the airship could not fly directly there. Instead, they would have to take a sightseeing cruise ship from this island.
Currently, the Fusion Border Company's group, including Meng Shu and San Cheng Huang, were waiting for the airship's arrival. Two days ago, Meng Shu had received a telegram from Chen Chuan informing her of his impending arrival.
As they waited, Meng Shu asked San Cheng Huang, who was standing nearby: "Mr. San Cheng, can you tell me what kind of person your teacher is?"
San Cheng Huang bowed and replied: "I'm afraid I cannot provide much insight into that."
This response surprised those who heard it. How could a disciple of the Wave Surge Pavilion not know the character of his teacher?
San Cheng Huang explained: "When teaching disciples martial arts, Master Wind Crane adheres to the traditional teachings of the Wave Surge Pavilion, never revealing his true self. Outside of those moments, my interactions with Master Wind Crane are limited, and my understanding of him is not significantly greater than yours."
"However, Miss Meng, there's no need to worry. Mr. Chen and Master Wind Crane are merely engaging in a friendly spar. Regardless of the outcome, as fellow fighters, this exchange will benefit them both."
"Mr. San Cheng, I appreciate your assistance on this matter."
"It's my duty to fulfill the tasks entrusted to me. Your praise is undeserved."
"Mr. San Cheng, after this matter is resolved, have you considered joining our company?"
"I'm grateful for your care during my time here. However, please allow me to answer this question after the spar. I apologize for the inconvenience."
Indeed, he had been comfortable during his stay with the Fusion Border Company, but he was assigned to Meng Shu as Chen Chuan's subordinate. Therefore, the decision to continue or not depended on Chen Chuan's wishes.
Meng Shu said, "I understand, Mr. San Cheng."
At this moment, Yan Yi spoke up, "Miss, the airship is approaching."
Meng Shu looked over and saw a large airship heading towards them. After waiting for about ten minutes, it came to a stop at the mooring tower.
Once the airship was secured, a team of armed guards swiftly boarded the tower and lined up in the corridor. After a while, the cabin door opened, and Chen Chuan emerged wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a red scarf, and a crisp uniform. He held the Snow Queen Saber in his hand, and the guards immediately saluted in unison.
Chen Chuan glanced outside, then descended the mooring tower's staircase. When he reached the bottom, he saw Meng Shu and her group approaching him.
Upon reaching them, Su Wei stepped forward and saluted, saying excitedly, "Captain!" San Cheng Huang bowed deeply and said, "Mr. Chen, I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you."
Chen Chuan returned the salute to Su Wei and then addressed San Cheng Huang, "This is the intention of the Feng He Pavilion Master, and it has nothing to do with Mr. San Cheng. Besides, I personally look forward to this friendly exchange."
San Cheng Huang replied, "I have also informed President Meng, and I believe she would not object to this friendly exchange."
Chen Chuan turned to Meng Shu. It was already November, but the temperature in the An Ying Archipelago remained relatively mild. Meng Shu wore a light blue knitted top and white wide-leg pants. She had a lotus leaf-shaped sun hat on her head and sunglasses on her face. At this moment, she took off her sunglasses and approached Chen Chuan.
"Director Chen," Meng Shu greeted him.
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "President Meng."
At that moment, a voice sounded from outside, "Mr. Chen, the transfer ship is ready. You can board now."
Chen Chuan turned to Meng Shu and said, "In that case, I'll go ahead."
Meng Shu clenched her fist and raised it, saying, "Good luck!"
Chen Chuan smiled slightly, nodded to her, and then bid farewell to Yan Yi, San Cheng Huang, Su Wei, and the others. He turned and left, boarding a medium-sized cruise ship at the port under everyone's gaze.
Yan Yi said, "Miss, Director Chen is already a fighter, but he seems no different from before, with no significant changes."
Suddenly, Su Wei spoke up, "He's different."
San Cheng Huang also nodded solemnly. Ordinary people might not sense it, but people like them could clearly feel a powerful sense of oppression. Even though they knew Chen Chuan harbored no ill intentions, a thought of wanting to escape still arose in their minds.
This feeling was very similar to what they had experienced with Feng He's teacher, but Chen Chuan's aura seemed even more intense. However, they still lacked the discernment to determine who was more skilled between the two.
After the cruise ship set sail, a warship also departed from the port, following at a distance.
Cang Long Corporation and Ocean Frontier Expansion Corporation attached great importance to this friendly match. To ensure nothing unexpected happened, they dispatched a warship as an escort.
On the deck of the warship, a group of officers gathered. One of them held a telescope and peered at the cruise ship in the distance, saying, "Our Great Prosperity fighter must be on that ship. It's a pity we can't see what they look like."
"What would they look like? They're probably no different from us."
"Not necessarily," another officer chimed in, "I've heard that fighters are usually very tall, and some even have strange appearances."
"That's just hearsay," the officer with the telescope scoffed, "I've met one before, and while he was indeed tall, he didn't look any different from us."
The officers around him were disappointed to learn that fighters didn't have unusual appearances.
Another officer quickly changed the subject, "Who do you think will win this match?"
"Of course, we will!" the officer with the telescope replied confidently.
Someone disagreed, "Why are you so sure?"
The officer with the telescope put down his hand and smirked, "The Erwen Island fighter doesn't stand a chance. We're giving him a chance, so he should give us the same."
Erwen Island was surrounded by numerous reefs, and the waves were turbulent. When the ship approached the island, a small amphibious assault boat was launched, and Chen Chuan boarded it, heading towards the southern beach of the island.
As the small boat reached the beach, Chen Chuan leaped off with his saber in hand. He stood firmly, and a faint glow emanated from his body, repelling the incoming seawater.
He glanced forward and saw two people in black robes, each with a saber at their waist, waiting for him.
The two men gazed at Chen Chuan with awe, took a few steps forward, and bowed deeply. One of them spoke up, "Your Excellency, we are disciples of the Wave Surge Pavilion, sent by our master to await your arrival. We are deeply honored that you have come to our island. Please allow us to guide you!"
Chen Chuan replied, "Then we are grateful for your assistance."
"Your Excellency, you are too kind!" the man bowed deeply again, then straightened up slightly and gestured to the side, saying respectfully, "Please follow us."
