Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 253: Fierce Battle

Instructor Wu looked at the Long Sword in Chen Chuan's hand, its cold light overflowing under the lamp, giving a sensation as if it could pierce the skin, causing his eyelids to twitch slightly.

Yet, he suddenly smiled, his tone becoming gentle again, "Chen student, I will guide you well, and I will preserve your head carefully."

The chandelier above was still swaying, and his shadow reflected on the floor and walls, changing accordingly, giving off a strange and twisted feeling.

As the chandelier's swing gradually stabilized and was about to come to a halt, the light and shadow in the room seemed to flicker abruptly, and Instructor Wu's figure shot forward.

Chen Chuan had been focusing ahead since drawing his sword, knowing that the person before him was not only a master of the Third Limit but also a teacher from the Wu Yi Main Academy, so from the moment he stepped onto this small hill, his Second Self had merged with him.

Seeing the opponent charging, he slightly raised the blade, blocking the front, as Instructor Wu's fist struck the blade, the clash of two forces producing a cracking sound, the floor beneath his feet shattered, yet he stood firmly in place, his shoulders and waist slightly moving as if preparing to spin and slash horizontally.

Instructor Wu made a sound of surprise, his fist pushing forward, using the remaining energy to propel himself back to his original position, looking at Chen Chuan with a hint of surprise.

He had intended to knock Chen Chuan down with that push, but the latter had managed to keep up with his speed, timely blocking the strike and standing firmly there.

He grinned and said, "Chen student, so you're almost at the Third Limit, your entrance evaluation results must not represent all your strength, right? No wonder you refused my advice, it seems I underestimated you, but that's even better, your brain will definitely help me complete my plan."

Chen Chuan could feel that Instructor Wu's strength was significantly higher than that of Tan Wang, Luo Qi, and others, his forward speed almost exceeding Chen Chuan's ability to respond, and perhaps that wasn't even his fastest speed.So he quickly adjusted his state, releasing the restraints on his emotions, and the Mutated Tissue all over his body was suddenly released, becoming extremely active. Various thoughts and mixed emotions emerged together, but he still maintained a calm heart, like a thick layer of solid ice blocking a fire.

This time, he didn't wait anymore and chose to take the initiative to attack. With a slight shake of his shoulder, the long blade of the Snow Emperor Blade in his hand had already crossed half the space of the living room, slashing forward horizontally!

Generally speaking, long weapons are difficult to wield indoors, but with his Strength and Speed, furniture and walls were no different from thin paper. Moreover, obstacles for him were also obstacles for his opponent.

Instructor Wu was a qualified Martial Artist. Through the previous contact, he had roughly confirmed Chen Chuan's Speed and Strength, and then he launched a targeted attack.

However, Chen Chuan's attack this time was even faster than before, which suddenly changed his previously relaxed expression.

Seeing the blade approaching his neck, as if it could decapitate him in the next moment, his body suddenly sank downwards, as if someone had yanked him from below. During the sinking process, the Strength of his Mutated Tissue was also gathering and contracting.

When the blade light swept over his head, he suddenly stomped on the ground, causing the floor to scatter and shatter, and the entire house seemed to shake. His figure rushed towards Chen Chuan again.

His timing was perfect, just at the moment when Chen Chuan's Strength was transitioning, and the blade was too late to withdraw.

Seeing this, Chen Chuan separated his right hand from the hilt, pushing his elbow outwards, while stepping back with one foot and lowering his center of gravity.

With a dull thud, Instructor Wu's two hands collided fiercely with his elbow, and the strong impact caused the sleeves of both arms to burst open.

The powerful collision pushed him back, and the floor was instantly plowed into a trench by his feet, with wooden planks continuously breaking and scattering. Then, with a loud bang, the wall behind him was also broken through, and the two rushed out to the open ground together.Instructor Wu took advantage of the momentum to press closely, seemingly intending to engage in close combat.

Chen Chuan knew that if he got caught in close combat, it would definitely be unfavorable for him. Not only would he be unable to utilize the advantage of his Long Sword, but he might also be suppressed by Instructor Wu.

At this moment, the hand holding the Snow Emperor Blade remained still, but his wrist suddenly jerked inward. Under the tension and contraction of the Mutated Tissue at his wrist, the back of the blade whipped diagonally towards Instructor Wu's back.

Instructor Wu sensed something was amiss and, leveraging his elbow, pushed off to perform a side flip, instantly moving away to a distance.

By then, the wooden planks that had been flying in the air began to clatter down, with one landing in front of the two. The light from the house illuminated it, revealing it to be the Molan Company's advertisement poster, now clearly split in half.

The wind outside blew in, causing the remaining corner of the poster to flap continuously, making a flapping sound.

Instructor Wu stared at Chen Chuan, the ease from earlier gone from his face, his gaze flickering uncertainly.

Chen Chuan also gazed back at him intently, having made thorough preparations before coming. Instructor Wu's Martial Combat Skills could be found on the school's Boundary Token, and past Martial Combat scenes were also available, the most recent being from last semester.

So before coming, he had rehearsed several times in his mind. Under normal circumstances, the initial slash actually had a good chance, but Instructor Wu had dodged it, not with his usual speed, but more like some explosive technique.

This was actually normal; after all, even an Academy teacher wouldn't reveal all their strength, surely keeping some tricks up their sleeve.

However, the counterattack after dodging the blade just now was an opportunity, yet the opponent failed to capitalize on it, indicating that this explosive technique was not sustainable.

Instructor Wu looked at the Long Sword in Chen Chuan's hand, licking his slightly dry lips. He hadn't brought a weapon, which was a disadvantage. Originally, dealing with a Second Limit student who could be crushed at any moment, he didn't need to. But now, it seemed that the strength Chen Chuan displayed was abnormal.

Had he taken some kind of drug?But even so, it's definitely not as simple as an ordinary student. However, since he's not his student, he doesn't have the authority to see the full resume, otherwise, he would have understood clearly.

At this moment, the correct strategy is to temporarily retreat, and once the drug effect wears off, he can easily take him down.

But he can't do that, because he has already exposed his true intentions. As long as he slightly relaxes the pressure, Chen Chuan could use the Boundary Token to send out a message.

Chen Chuan made a slight adjustment at this time. As the one carrying a weapon, he didn't have to worry too much, so he stepped forward, moving towards Instructor Wu and swung his sword at him.

Instructor Wu lowered his center of gravity, continuously dodging and leaping back, and after avoiding several strikes, he suddenly distanced himself with a few steps, smiling at him and said:

"Chen student, no wonder your Skills Evaluation was low during the entrance assessment. Although you have Strength and Speed, you lack variation in Skills, making it easy for teachers to judge."

Chen Chuan remained unmoved. With his Mutated Tissue fully activated, their Speed was now on par. Even though his Skills were lacking, the problem was that he was the one carrying a weapon, and the other was unarmed, so the opponent couldn't afford the slightest mistake.

Even if it was just a simple strike from him, Instructor Wu had to be fully on guard, bearing much more pressure and consuming more Spirit and body energy than he did.

So now, even though it seemed like he couldn't do anything to him, as long as he dragged it out, with the opponent's physical consumption, the balance of victory would tip in his favor. Therefore, the one who should be worried now is not him, but the other party.

He sincerely said, "Instructor Wu's dodging Skills are very impressive, indeed teaching the student a lot."

Instructor Wu's cheek twitched. Although Chen Chuan's sword techniques had shortcomings in Skills, they were still decent, with no obvious gaps. Under normal circumstances, it was hard to find a Counterattack opportunity, so he tried to create anxiety with words. Seeing that it didn't work, he had no choice but to use a more radical method.

Seeing the blade light coming at him again, he narrowed his eyes and dodged back, but this time, after a few steps, he suddenly closed in.

Chen Chuan had always been on guard against his sudden attacks. With his long blade, as long as he kept the opponent at a certain distance, then the person couldn't threaten him. Seeing him approaching, he thrust his sword out. This move wasn't expected to achieve much, just to establish a threat and force the opponent to dodge.Unexpectedly, this time Instructor Wu charged forward recklessly, allowing the Long Sword to pierce through his abdomen without a change in expression, and quickly closed in, with one hand reaching out to grab and the other hand's two fingers thrusting towards Chen Chuan's eyes.

Instructor Wu was also very decisive. Since being unarmed against a weapon was unfavorable, he traded injury for advantage. At this moment, if Chen Chuan was unwilling to abandon his sword, then at close range, with his two hands against Chen Chuan's one, relying on his advantage in Skills, he could seize Chen Chuan in an instant, directly ending this fight.

If Chen Chuan chose to abandon his sword and retreat, even if he escaped his control, the Long Sword would be snatched away by him, also reversing the disadvantage in one fell swoop.

At this critical moment, Chen Chuan did not choose to abandon his sword. He raised one hand to meet the grabbing hand, and facing the fingers thrusting towards him, he lowered his head and charged forward.

Instructor Wu narrowed his eyes, and the fingers that were originally aimed at Chen Chuan's eyes suddenly transformed into a fist, striking heavily on his forehead. This punch he deliberately restrained some of his Strength, because he needed Chen Chuan's brain, so as not to shatter the brain tissue inside, but it was enough to knock the latter unconscious.

But to his surprise, when the Internal energy of this punch was released, Chen Chuan seemed completely unaffected, and even used this momentary gap to violently twist the Long Sword in his hand!

Just as it was halfway through the twist, with a snap, a section of the blade was suddenly gripped by Instructor Wu, and at the same time, the Mutated Tissue and muscles in his abdomen tightened abruptly, preventing the blade from continuing to rotate.

Chen Chuan looked up and was met with an extremely ferocious face.
