Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 334: Bounty
After those Moss Gang members were stopped by the City Patrol, Chen Chuan encountered no further obstacles on the road.
After driving out of Flourishing Victory District and confirming with Wu Bei that no one was tracking his Boundary Token, he contacted Old Qi, "Old Qi, your colleague couldn't be saved. When I arrived, there were no living people left."
Old Qi sighed and said, "Her husband died several years ago, and there's only a ten-year-old child at home. She took this private job without the Company knowing. We didn't know about it, otherwise we could have called you earlier, Chen, and maybe it could have been avoided."
Chen Chuan said, "Old Qi, send me all the Anomaly information you've collected recently."
Old Qi perked up and said, "Okay." He added, "The Company colleagues have put together a commission fee for this matter. It's not much, and you might not care about it, but please accept it."
Chen Chuan said okay.
After a while, Old Qi sent the news he had collected about Supernatural Entities, along with the commission fee.
At this moment, a contact request came in, marked as from the City Patrol team. He connected, and a gentle female voice sounded after a moment:
"Reserve Law Enforcement Officer Mr. Chen, we received the message you sent at 2:10 PM. According to your information, the Anomaly in the district has been resolved. We would like to confirm if this is true?"
Chen Chuan said, "Yes, I confirm that the Anomaly there has been dealt with."
"Information recorded. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Chen." After speaking, the voice ended the call.
Chen Chuan looked ahead. He knew that even if the Supernatural Entity was dealt with, the people there might still face other problems. The Moss Gang couldn't deal with him, but they could exploit these residents, but he had done all he could, and there were some things he couldn't control.
After successfully returning to Mysterious Palace Tower, he first took a shower. Afterward, he took out the relic and examined it. This strange tree was one of the most powerful Supernatural Entities he had encountered so far. This relic was also very special. There was almost no similar data recorded, and it might be useful in the future.
He thought about it and stored it away properly.
Returning to the sofa, he placed his hand on the Boundary Token and flipped through the Anomaly information sent by Old Qi. Old Qi was very diligent, sorting the Anomalies of the past few months in order of priority. Those with greater influence and long-term existence were placed at the front.
This way, he only needed to select those with a larger scope of influence to look at, since he couldn't possibly deal with all the Anomalies.
After reading for a while, he decided on a target and decided to check it out when he had time.
He took out the Incense burner and the main medicine, lit them, and entered the state of calling for stillness in silent recitation. Afterward,
After that, he went out to solve those potentially existing Supernatural Entities, and after dealing with them, he would come back, take medicine, and continue Cultivation. After continuing like this for two days, he bought paired training services again and conducted a paired training session with Hong Fu, repeating this constantly.
However, he didn't always encounter Supernatural Entities. For example, once he discovered that many residents were gathered there holding a Secret Ritual. Since it wasn't a Supernatural Entity, he couldn't control that much, so he left directly.
Time flew by to June 29th. After Chen Chuan finished his meditation Cultivation, he felt like something was happening today. He turned his thoughts and remembered, looking at the incubation box placed in the corner of the wall.
According to Zou Handan, the egg inside would hatch in about thirty days. Counting the time, it was almost there, but looking at it now, it was still not moving.
He didn't look at it much. He picked up the Snow Emperor Blade and walked towards the private training room, saying as he walked, "Hong Fu, I'm purchasing today's paired training service."
Just after he left, the egg in the incubation box shook slightly.
Three hours later, Chen Chuan walked out of the training room. He placed the Snow Emperor Blade on the knife rack and glanced at the calendar on the Boundary Token.
There was one day left until the end of the semester. After that, students would have a two-month vacation, but staying in the school dormitory was also allowed.
In previous years, many low-grade students who were still in the growth phase would choose to stay, because only Central City was the place to obtain the most resources.
Two months was not a short period of time. If progress was lagged behind during this stage, it would be difficult to catch up afterward. They had to seize this time.
Especially this year, the Academy management introduced many new regulations. Students who fell to the bottom were likely to be demoted to external students, which made people even more afraid to leave easily.
According to Cao Guiqi's estimates, Chen Chuan would probably reach a breakthrough in one to two months.
He could feel that his Senses were becoming more and more acute, and his control over himself was also increasing, so it could be said that he was actively changing every day.
This next period of time was undoubtedly the most important. He was about to enter a breakthrough.
The demand for Drugs during this process would be huge, and there was also a need for powerful opponents to spar with. He couldn't interrupt it, so even if he wanted to go back to Yang Zhi, he would have to wait until he broke through.
He sat on the sofa, preparing to
Browse the Marginal Channel and relax. After watching for half an hour, Tan Zhi's avatar suddenly flashed. Seeing this, he connected.
"Chen classmate, the vacation starts the day after tomorrow. Do you have any plans to go anywhere? Are you going home?"
Chen Chuan said, "I may have to stay in the Academy for a while longer."
Tan Zhi sighed and said, "Alas, I plan the same as you. Do you know that this time, two students who ranked at the bottom in Evaluation points have been demoted to external students."
Chen Chuan asked, "Oh? So soon?"
"Who says it isn't? I thought this regulation wouldn't start until the next semester. I didn't expect it to be implemented so quickly. Those two are really miserable. They might participate in this Arena tournament.
However, this Arena tournament is said to be very exciting. Since you're not in a hurry to leave, Chen classmate, why don't we go see it together then? Let's also call Pan Xiaode and Qi Huixin. Those two have been feeling suffocated these days."
Chen Chuan said, "Tan classmate, Wei Wusheng is wandering outside. If you go out like this, aren't you afraid of running into him?"
Tan Zhi said very easily, "Wei Wusheng hasn't shown his face for some days. He shouldn't dare to come out recently, because someone has put a bounty on him on the underground platform. The person who paid should be one of the cruise ship passengers that day. That person also opened up the authority to add to the bounty amount to everyone. I also went up and added a sum..."
Chen Chuan listened to his explanation. Due to Wei Wusheng's constant killings, coupled with the Processing Bureau's failure to capture him last time, the remaining Martial Artists wouldn't just sit and wait. They had to know that those who could board the cruise ship either had connections or wealth, so someone placed a Commission on a certain platform, offering a bounty for Wei Wusheng.
Because this time the amount was relatively high, there are now many Martial Artist experts moving around in the underworld, searching for Wei Wusheng's whereabouts.
He thought that no wonder there had been fewer messages about Wei Wusheng these days. He had almost disappeared. He figured that even if he was injured last time, it wouldn't take so long to recover. So that was the reason.
Tan Zhi said at this moment, "It is said that many famous bounty hunters have clearly stated that they have accepted the Commission, such as the Pei brothers, Zuo Cidiao, and Han Laoma. Where would Wei Wusheng have the leisure to come and find us?
Besides, in order to hold this Arena tournament, Central City has deployed strong Security guards, and many Wuyi teachers will also go. No matter how daring Wei Wusheng is, he wouldn't dare to make trouble there. Rest assured."
Chen Chuan thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid I won't have time these days. I feel like I might have progress, so I need to step up my training."
"Oh? Have you entered the rapid growth phase of Mutated Tissue?"
Tan Zhi couldn't help but raise his voice. The progress of Martial Artists is very difficult. Usually, they can only rely on slowly grinding, but there is one exception, that is, the rapid growth phase of Mutated Tissue. Once you enter this stage, as long as you invest enough, you can have a relatively high-speed improvement.
Talented people not only have a higher number of rapid growth phase limits than others, but even the growth time is longer. This is one of the main reasons why Martial Artists distance themselves from each other.
However, considering that Chen Chuan was almost two years younger than him, he had indeed experienced a rapid growth phase at this age, which seemed quite normal.
Chen Chuan replied, "I guess so."
Tan Zhi said seriously, "If that's the case, then Chen classmate, you can't miss it. This is directly related to our future. Well, anyway, this vacation is very long. The Arena tournament will continue until September. You can make an appointment when you have time."
Chen Chuan said okay.
After the call ended, he brushed the channel for a while, and specially found topics about Wei Wusheng, and found that it was indeed generally believed that Wei Wusheng was unlikely to cause any more trouble, and even no one had added to the bets above recently. But in his heart, he inexplicably felt that things might not be like this.
Crossroad district, diagonally opposite the original Anomaly hotel, on the rooftop, the little boy was doing a handstand with both hands supporting the ground, and sweat was flowing from his body to the ground. A pool had already accumulated below, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
The man stood aside watching. He originally said that he would leave after a few days, but for some reason, he was still staying here.
After a long time, he said, "That's enough."
The little boy put down his feet and slumped on the ground, but he struggled to get up again, and worked hard to adjust his breathing according to the man's instructions, and exercised and beat his limbs.
The man looked at him with his arms crossed and said, "I didn't expect that you are talented. You remind me of a junior brother of mine. Boy, what do you plan to do in the future?"
The boy said with a face full of anticipation, "Can I follow you, sir?"
The man said, "You don't have enough qualification."
The boy was immediately a little disappointed.
The man said, "I'm leaving soon. If you still want to practice, you can go to Heavens' Forgiveness Gang and find Yu Hongming. He can teach you, just say I recommended you."
The boy's eyes lit up, "I still don't know what to call you, sir."
"Me..."
At this moment, some movement came from the opposite building, and at the same time a sonorous voice sounded: "Wei Wusheng, I found you, come out, you can't escape."
Wei Wusheng paused, and slowly said: "Pei brothers? I've been waiting for you for a long time. You only found me now, it's too slow."
He moved his neck and made a crackling sound. He took off the Hammer hanging on his waist and walked towards that place, saying as he walked, "Boy, if you want to live, get out of here."
