Chapter 830: The Self and the Other
Chapter 830: The Self and the Other
When Fang Zhuoying heard Chen Chuan directly point out the flaws in her fighting techniques, she didn't show the slightest hint of denial or embarrassment. Instead, she earnestly sought his guidance, "Please, Mr. Chen, do not hold back your advice!"
She was well aware that at the level of a fighter, one would possess extraordinary insight and perception into fighting techniques.
The Uninterrupted School's approach was to diligently identify their own flaws, whether through debates, daily cultivation, or confrontations. No matter how high their level, they adhered to this philosophy, so she welcomed others pointing out her shortcomings.
Chen Chuan said, "Examining one's weaknesses and constantly correcting them is the right approach. However, in practical application, whether it truly aligns with this principle requires countless practice and refinement. The challenge lies in determining if what is being corrected is genuinely one's weakness, and the ability to discern and judge is crucial."
Fang Zhuoying nodded in agreement, understanding Chen Chuan's words. A fighter, on the surface, might appear to have improved their skills, but in his eyes, they had undoubtedly corrected their mistakes and flaws.
This seemed straightforward, but some flaws weren't visible at first glance. This could lead to the belief that one had compensated for a weakness, only to discover it was a result of hasty and selfish actions, which might not contribute to future growth.
In reality, the predecessors of the Uninterrupted School had a theory about this, but the challenge lay in its application. Due to the limitations of their cultivation level, they only had a theoretical framework without specific methods. Even Fang Zhuoying herself couldn't explain it clearly; she only had a vague sense of it.
In essence, this was also a form of deficiency, but now, upon hearing Chen Chuan's words, she had a strong feeling that the opportunity to fill this gap might have arrived.
Chen Chuan said, "What is beneficial? What is detrimental? Different seekers have different perspectives and answers. There's no universal rule, and I believe the elders understand this better than the younger generation. However, there is a way to clearly show them how changes in certain aspects of their cultivation will affect them."
Fang Zhuoying looked at Chen Chuan with utmost sincerity and asked, "Mr. Chen, how should we do it?"
Chen Chuan replied, "It's simple. Use one flaw to counter another, and respond to the interval with no interval." He then explained a breathing technique derived from the modification of energy points.
After listening to Chen Chuan, Fang Zhuoying immediately discerned that this was a breathing technique that allowed one to deeply examine their own shortcomings.
When divergent tissue within the body evolves in a particular direction, it triggers feedback in other parts, indicating that certain actions will inevitably have consequences elsewhere. There is no such thing as eliminating flaws; they merely change constantly.
Understanding this, one can seek guidance from teachers or engage in self-refinement, judging the path to follow based on one's needs, rather than solely focusing on eliminating flaws blindly.
In this world, there is no such thing as a flawless technique. Filling one gap inevitably creates another. This aspect, which the Uninterrupted School couldn't address or specifically explain, had now been resolved.
It could be said that a new path had been opened.
Fang Zhuoying felt genuine admiration. She had only witnessed the students' confrontations and perhaps learned a little from Yu Zhen, but Chen Chuan had instantly deduced all of this, living up to the title of a fighter.
However, not every fighter could achieve this.
Chen Chuan had deeply experienced Yu Zhen's skills through memory transmission and understood the characteristics of this fighting heritage, as well as the Zhouyuan Power Method he practiced, which allowed him to observe and experience its strengths and weaknesses without hindrance.
If someone else had tried to make up for the deficiency, they might have succeeded, but they would have had to make significant changes. It was impossible for a simple breathing technique to address the shortcomings and seamlessly integrate with the original skills and theories.
The notebook he had was given to his teacher by his mother, and he used it as a return gift at that moment.
Fang Zhuoying said, "Mr. Chen, I don't know how long you'll be staying in Balkutu, but I hope you can stay a little longer."
Chen Chuan replied, "I'll be staying in Besa for a few days, but not for too long." He carefully put away the notebook, stood up, and bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you, Elder, for your guidance. I'll take my leave for now."
After Fang Zhuoying stood up, she respectfully returned the bow.
Chen Chuan, not wanting to reveal his identity, didn't let Fang Zhuoying see him off. He walked out of the Crimson Cloud Tent alone and headed towards the mercenary team.
Just then, someone shouted loudly, and the crowd echoed the cry. He saw that everyone around him, including the members of the mercenary team, had crouched down and touched their foreheads to the ground.
These people were all locals from Balkutu.
Then, a small airship-like object, resembling an oval hot air balloon with colorful smoke, flew overhead, suspending a boat-shaped blue cabin below. As it passed by, the people on the ground remained motionless.
Chen Chuan watched as the object flew away, and only when he heard a shout from the roadside did the people stand up. The person in charge approached at that moment.
"This is their guardian deity, the current fighter in Balkutu's central city," he explained.
(End of Chapter 830)
At that moment, someone from the hired squad shouted twice towards them.
Chen Chuan asked, "What did he say?"
The person in charge replied, "He said that as soon as you arrived, you saw their guardian deity and wished you good luck." But inwardly, he felt a bit disdainful. The person before him was a fighter, and they were wishing him luck?
Chen Chuan turned his head and thanked the squad member. The man clearly understood, and happily raised the gun in his hand in response.
Chen Chuan glanced again at the distant flying object, but he knew that this person's appearance here was not a coincidence. His arrival here meant that the Great Shun government had likely communicated with the upper echelons of the Besa Khanate, especially since the other party's fighter would surely be well-prepared.
This was the other party's way of showing that they already knew he had arrived and were coming over to greet him.
After some thought, Chen Chuan decided that since his own matters were concluded, he could now move on to the next task. He instructed the person in charge to send a telegram to locate the contact person. For this task, he had no need to hide anything, as it was essentially revealing his identity as an official of the Tongwu Bureau.
The person in charge was very efficient, and within half an hour, the contact person arrived. With a hint of reverence, he greeted Chen Chuan, saying, "Mr. Chen, I was ordered to come and brief you on the situation."
Chen Chuan asked, "I've heard about the general context before. Is it about an item sent from the Norland Northern Alliance that was seized by opposing forces while passing through here?"
The contact person explained, "Yes, due to the special nature of this item, it wasn't transported by air but by land. The journey was smooth until we reached the Besa Khanate, where problems arose."
"Although the Besa Khanate's territory appears vast, its population is relatively small. Since the New Era, only three fighters have been born, and with the strong support of the Great Shun government, they haven't been annexed by the Paranio Faith Region."
"One of these three fighters leaned towards the Western Continent and was ostracized by the other two. Another is a staunch nativist, who strongly disapproves of the Besa Khanate's closeness to Great Shun. He often speaks ill of us."
"When this item was transported here, the fighter who favored us was supposed to oversee it, and everything should have gone smoothly. However, this nativist fighter directly seized the item and demanded that we meet his conditions before returning it. The fighter who supports us didn't want to create a dispute, so he sought a negotiated solution and asked for some time. That's why this matter has been stalled for two months."
