Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 284: Threat
“So he's Student Apprentice Cheng's student.”
The man sighed. Cheng Zitong had left Central City, but the student he taught had returned to Central City and defeated the most formidable peer of their generation. Was Cheng Zitong's choice really wrong back then?
He looked back. Some of the older people in the field were well aware of what had happened back then. Many hadn't said anything on the surface, but they had privately scorned Cheng Zitong's choice and had even used it as a negative example to the younger generation. But now…
He smiled. It seemed that few people would mention it again, or they would be slapping themselves in the face.
Xiao Jing beside him didn't care about any of this, just worriedly looking at the direction where Liu Yin had fallen. She really didn't expect Liu Yin to lose, and so quickly at that. She muttered to herself, "Next time I must tell Brother Liu Yin not to stand on the west side to fight!"
As for the other young people in the field, their feelings weren't as profound as the elders. However, everyone felt uncomfortable and stifled. What they felt more of was confusion. What Strength Technique did Chen Chuan use? Why did his speed suddenly increase so quickly? Why was his performance in the collision so strong?
Because a Martial Artist in the early stages of Cultivation couldn't use many Mutated Tissues, and could only focus on one direction. So Chen Chuan's performance seemed incredible to them.
Several disciples couldn't figure it out and couldn't help but ask Bai-jie for advice.
Bai-jie thought for a moment and said, “His Mutated Tissue coverage is probably wide, so he can use various moves. My guess is that he is best at the freehand combat he showed in the end. The wrestling and grappling he used before were used when he was sure of the timing. It is very likely that he only knows these two moves.
His purpose in doing so was to make you think that he is good at these two Skills, so that you would misjudge his tactics. The facts prove that his strategy was very useful.”
Liu Yin was sitting in a chair at the moment, his chest still a little stuffy. After listening to these words silently, he was very convinced, because he had been completely deceived by this person. This person had really taught him a lesson.
The young people realized after listening, so he had been acting all along?
Someone said indignantly, "So cunning!"
Bai-jie said very seriously, “It is normal to use tactical strategies in Martial Combat. Not to mention that he has to deal with so many of us alone, his arrangement is the right way. It shows that he has a brain. You should learn more. Don't be reckless. There is no chance to make mistakes in a real battle.”
At this moment, Ni Qianxi, who was driving a red sports car, said, “Little Brother Chen, that last move was pretty cool. You really showed no mercy. By the way, how did you do it?”
She was very curious, how did he do the last few collisions without moving, and still manage to knock Liu Yin out? The two of them shouldn't have that big of a gap on the surface.
“Well, recently I learned something from the teacher recommended by the bureau. It is indeed very useful…”
Chen Chuan didn't use Second Self in the end. He used the method Teacher Zheng taught him to deflect force. The most important thing was that he could use more Mutated Tissue than the other party.
When a part of the Mutated Tissue cannot move because of deflecting force, another part can play the role of pushing forward. After this part is used, the other part has recovered and can play the role of connecting and continuing.
In fact, this is also because his muscles, bones, and internal organs have been strengthened recently. Otherwise, even if he could do this, it might cause his muscles and bones to be torn apart and his internal organs to be overloaded. Of course, he has Second Self, so he doesn't seem to have to worry about this for the time being, but he didn't rely on these just now.
“It seems that the bureau needs to adjust its evaluation of you again.”
As the car's speed increased, Ni Qianxi pulled down her goggles. “The reward this time will be transferred to your account, and you may also receive something. Remember to check it. Well, are you interested in another match?
You don't have to be afraid of hurting them. The harder you hit, the more satisfied those old guys will be. I think they are all unconvinced. How about comparing equipment next time?”
Chen Chuan said, “Let’s find another opportunity next time. What was Sister Ni talking about just now?”
Ni Qianxi's expression became serious. “Less than five kilometers from here, there is a sudden situation. A well-known Martial Combat hall has a violent incident. The specific situation is still unknown. There should be many casualties. The City Patrol team has arrived, and the bureau needs us to go and check it out.”
Chen Chuan understood that matters involving this type of Martial Artist are within the scope of the Processing Bureau. This time, they happen to be the closest and have the Strength to handle it, so they are asked to go and check it out.
While they were talking, the patrol team had already sent the collected information on the Boundary Token.
From the scene, the situation was terrible. Limbs were broken, skulls were cracked, chests were collapsed, and spinal Implants were pulled out.
The following is also a simple analysis by the patrol team. There should be only one assailant, a Martial Artist with tyrannical Strength. He entered from the main entrance of the Martial Combat hall and broke through all the way in. Everyone he encountered was killed, and all were killed with one blow.
The perpetrator did not rob anything, and there were no signs of stopping along the way. It is suspected that he may be seeking revenge, but it is not ruled out that he may be a patient with Functional Disorder Syndrome.
After all, when this symptom occurs, anything irrational is possible.
Chen Chuan stared at the injuries of these corpses. Everyone was killed by blunt weapons and heavy techniques, which gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
In less than two minutes, the car arrived at the scene. The two got out of the car. Although it was not noon yet, the sky was a bit gloomy, as if it was going to rain.
The surrounding City Patrol team looked at them. After scanning and confirming their identities through the Boundary Token, they removed the front barricade.
Chen Chuan looked at the Martial Combat hall. It was a relatively independent building, with the nearest house more than fifty meters away, on the other side of the street.
At this moment, on the Boundary Token, he could also see two Martial Artist dueling on the light box and making explosive roars. As one of them fell, the four characters "True Meaning Martial Combat" jumped out one after another in large ink fonts in front of them, which was very impactful.
The two went directly through the main entrance and looked at the bodies marked by the patrol team. They had already learned from the information sent that there were a total of thirty-five dead.
In addition to the father and son of the curator, friends who came to see him, disciple and hired cleaners, there were also seven security personnel. Although it was a martial arts hall, such a large place also needed people to protect the property inside.
After checking, Ni Qianxi said, “The information query shows that this happened half an hour ago. When the incident happened, only the youngest son of the curator was not here and escaped.”
Chen Chuan asked, “Where is he now?”
“This kid is in Hell Chain Bar. We have already notified him, but there is no reply yet. Today is Holiday, so he's probably having fun.”
At this time, Ni Qianxi seemed to be contacting someone. After a while, her expression became very serious. She said to Chen Chuan, “The results of the bureau's Internal energy information comparison are out. There is an 80% or more chance that the perpetrator is Wei Wusheng.”
“Wei Wusheng…”
Chen Chuan's eyes moved slightly. He had a sense of familiarity just now.
Ni Qianxi said, “There was energy field interference here before, and no one saw Wei Wusheng entering or leaving. There should be a Resonator helping him to erase his traces. Now his whereabouts are difficult to track.”
Chen Chuan turned his mind. Wei Wusheng did this not to cover up his crimes. He is already a wanted criminal, so it doesn't matter if he commits another crime. He should just be trying to cover up his tracks.

So the question is, does this person risk jumping out at this time just to slaughter this Martial Combat hall?
He asked, “Does Wei Wusheng have a grudge against this Martial Combat hall?”
“Possibly.” Ni Qianxi said, “Let me check… Well, the people in this martial arts hall had a conflict with the Heavens' Forgiveness Gang ten years ago. It is not impossible for a ten-year-old hatred to be brought up today, but why not do it earlier or later, but do it when he's wanted? Is he throwing caution to the wind?”
Chen Chuan thought of a possibility: “Sister Ni, have the people in this martial arts hall been on the Rhinoceros Horn Cruise Ship recently?”
Ni Qianxi immediately asked her colleagues in the bureau to check the records. After a while, the results came out. She said, “That’s right, the eldest son of this curator also went on the cruise that day and watched the game in the Martial Combat field.”
She turned to look at Chen Chuan and said, “Little Brother Chen, I have read the report you submitted about Wei Wusheng's so-called thoughts. The bureau currently has no clear conclusion on this matter.
But if Wei Wusheng's actions back then were obsessive, then what we see today may just be the beginning, and perhaps he will come to you. You have to be careful.”
Chen Chuan nodded. This is possible. He is not afraid of this. Moreover, he has a feeling that Wei Wusheng will not come to him now. Because if Wei Wusheng really wanted to deal with him, he wouldn't have killed these people first and exposed himself, which would have aroused his vigilance instead.
Just because he is not afraid doesn't mean that others are not afraid.
He walked to the side and contacted Tan Zhi, Pan Xiaode, and Qi Huixin with the Boundary Token, telling them to be careful recently, because they were also there at the time, and Wei Wusheng might also attack them if he had the opportunity.
After he came back, Ni Qianxi looked at the increasingly gloomy sky outside, frowned, and said, “There were so many Martial Artist on the ship back then that we couldn't protect them one by one, and they wouldn't accept it. We can only let them be careful themselves. The best solution is to catch Wei Wusheng in advance… um?”
She stopped halfway, as if there was another call coming in, so she listened for a while. After listening this time, she looked up at Chen Chuan. "There is something I want to tell you. The school management held a meeting just now. Because I was outside, I asked an assistant to go and listen in. She is now telling me…"
She paused slightly and said, “Principal Assistant Ling Jianxing made a suggestion at the meeting to let student whose Third Limit assessment is below 50% go to the Martial Combat competition held by the Academy to serve as instructing student.”
