Chapter 97 Qualifications
After Chen Chuan returned to the room, he closed the door naturally, as if the fight just now was as normal as eating and drinking.
He first washed up and changed his clothes. After he walked out, he found that Jing Lin was gone. Only some students were still discussing excitedly there. When they saw him, they nodded and greeted him.
He came to the public telephone, and the dormitory supervisor looked at him helplessly and said, "Student Chen, don't vent your anger on the wall in the future. A lot of the paint has been rubbed off."
Chen Chuan said apologetically: "I'm sorry, teacher."
The dormitory supervisor smiled and said, "Well, you can work on the floor next time. It doesn't matter if more damage occurs. This way, it will be easier for me to report it, right?"
Chen Chuan also smiled. After the dormitory teacher left, he picked up the phone and called Cheng Zitong.
After the call was connected, he said, "Teacher, I just met a man who claimed to be from Central City. He said he would take me to see his teacher."
Cheng Zitong's voice became serious: "Where, when? Did you agree?"
"I didn't agree." Chen Chuan briefly recounted what had just happened.
Cheng Zitong said in a deep voice: "I understand. If this person comes to you again, you can just refuse directly. Remember, this is Wuyi College in Yangzhi City, not some central city. I have something to do here and cannot leave. If you have any questions, you can directly call the senior supervisor of the Recruitment Department and he will help you solve it."
Chen Chuan said hello.
After Cheng Zitong hung up the phone, he turned around and was about to talk to the person on the sofa opposite, but found that the person had disappeared.
After Chen Chuan hung up the phone, he looked at his watch. It didn't take him much time. He did take some time to wash up, but it was not past dinner time.
After taking the elevator downstairs, he walked towards the cafeteria. On the way, he also recalled the fight just now. Jing Lin was a little different. It seemed that he had gotten rid of the shackles of the breathing-driven alienation organization, but he didn't think that this performance was much of a big deal.
According to his observation, the teachers in the academy also have this level, unless Jing Lin has some extra skills or simply thinks too highly of himself.
He was unwilling to meet that teacher because he didn't believe in the so-called opportunity at all. If that was true, Cheng Zitong would have told him long ago.
Moreover, as Cheng Zitong was his instructor, he certainly could not avoid such matters, or at least he had to be aware of it. However, the other party bypassed Cheng Zitong and came directly to him, and there was no respect in his words.
That is an arrogance that runs deep into the bones.
While he was thinking, he arrived at the cafeteria unknowingly. He put the matter aside for the time being, and after eating, he returned to the dormitory to continue training.
Two more days passed like this, and on the day off at the end of the month, he went back home. This time Nian Fuli was still not there. According to Yu Wan, he had been given a lot of tasks recently, but Nian Fuli did not feel tired at all. Instead, he was full of energy.
Chen Chuan could roughly guess the reasons. He smiled, took out the stack of tickets and said, "Aunt, these are given by the college teachers. You and your husband can bring your cousins to watch it."
Yu Wan looked at the stack of tickets and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. In the Republic of China, martial arts were prevalent and people from top to bottom were very keen on boxing matches. However, the citizens of Yangzhi City could usually only watch matches in various boxing gyms, but they could not be compared with Wu Yi in terms of scale, competitive level, or even duration.
Although underground competitions such as the Bloodstain Gang and the Iron Chain Gang have a high level of competition, they are not only bloody and exposed, but also not places that ordinary citizens can go to. Therefore, the annual competition arena of Wu Yi students at the end of the year is the most popular. Tickets have been hard to come by in previous years. No one expected that Chen Chuan could take home so many tickets at once.
Neighbors can also share some of these tickets, so they can go watch the match together.
"Chan'er, auntie will accept it this time."
"Chan'er, I want one too. I want one too." Nian Mo was jumping there.
Yu Wan grabbed her youngest son's ears and lectured him, "The things your cousin brought back last time weren't enough for you to play with. Also, how many times have I told you not to call your brother by his nickname?"
"I'm polite, I'm polite, I always call you brother." Nian Lu raised his little face, and his expression was full of "come and praise me".
Yu Wan patted Nian Mo's butt, "Sister is much more sensible than you."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "I'll bring it to you next time." Nian Lu immediately said sensibly, "Thank you, brother."
After spending a night at home, when I woke up the next day, it was already December. Although there was still a month to the Chinese New Year, every household had already started to decorate.
After breakfast, Chen Chuan said goodbye to Yu Wan and went straight back to school. After entering the school gate, he could hear the orderly running sounds and slogans from the B-grade students' training ground. Some A-grade students on the road were also in a hurry, and when they met each other they just nodded as a greeting.
In a few days, the B-grade students will begin the competition selection, while the A-grade students will need to worry about the final exams. This time period every year is the most stressful time for Wuyi students.
In contrast, he walked leisurely in the school with his hands in his trouser pockets.
After returning to the dormitory, he changed his clothes and went to the combat training hall he often went to. The management teacher here was very familiar with him, and he only needed to nod and say hello every time he entered.
But today he felt that this teacher was a little different from usual. He kept looking forward when he came in, as if he didn't see him. He thought for a moment, then continued to walk in. After opening the door, he saw that the wide training ground was empty. The students who used to come here for training were nowhere to be seen. Only a tall and thin man with a half-smile on his face was standing there.
The moment he came in, he guessed the man's identity, but he did not retreat. Instead, he turned around, closed the two doors behind him, and stood in front of the man.
The man looked at him with interest and said, "You are very perceptive. I felt that your pace slowed down for a moment when you entered the venue. You must have noticed that the situation today was different, but you still walked in. Is it because you trust the school environment or have confidence in yourself?"
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "It's probably both."
The man said, "Very interesting. Your confidence must have been accumulated through surviving fights and defeating opponents time and time again. Very good."
Chen Chuan could understand the man's gaze. It was like he was evaluating an object that was up for discussion. He seemed to be wavering between an intermediate value that could be given up or acquired at any time, and he was enjoying the pleasure of this measurement.
This kind of attitude undoubtedly puts oneself in a very high position, which is also a kind of arrogance. Although it is expressed differently from Jing Lin's way, there is no fundamental difference.
He said: "It seems that he is indeed your student."
"student?"
The man seemed a little surprised, but also a little amused, "You are wrong, he is just a toy of mine."
The corners of his mouth showed a hint of evil interest, "He is a bastard, and was often abused by the heir when he was a child, but he was reluctant to flee his home, because even if he was beaten and abused, he lived better than most civilians in the central city and 99% of the people in the slums.
Deep down he longed to be superior, longed for revenge, and longed to trample underfoot those who had beaten, scolded and abused him in the past, so I gave him a chance because I really wanted to see how this drama would unfold next.
You have to buy tickets to watch a play, so I am willing to give him some advice, but I can't give him too much, because that would be too boring. You know, when he was in the central city, he was an inferior and timid person who didn't even dare to speak loudly to others, but now outside, he has become arrogant, reserved, and superior. This is very interesting. "
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Then you came to me for the same reason?"
"No, no, no." The man denied it immediately. "I won't go to see other plays before I finish watching the one I'm in. I just wanted to meet you on a whim and see if you're really as good as the newspapers boast. But after Jing Lin came back, I learned about your past and found that you meet my requirements."
"Require?"
The man looked at him and said, "People like you who come from small places are just looking for an opportunity to officially gain a foothold in the central city. As a student of Wu Yi, there are only two ways to go to the central city.
One is to enter the main hospital by yourself, but the number of places is very limited and will almost never be available except for recommended students. Another option is more practical for you, which is to establish a personal dependence relationship with someone who is qualified to go to the central city and enter there as a servant. However, this opportunity is not available to everyone, and no one will look down on you if you are not good enough.
Whether it is what you have done in the past or the strength that defeated my toy not long ago, it has proved your personal ability and you are qualified.
So as long as you agree to be my servant, well, of course nominally you will be my student's sparring partner, then you can go to Central City with me."
He smiled playfully again, "It doesn't matter if you can't make up your mind right away. I have always been tolerant of talented people. I'll give you two days. You can come to me when you have thought it over."
After saying that, he walked out.
Chen Chuanshuo said: "I wonder what your name is?"
"Tan Wang."
Tan Wang walked past him, opened the door, turned around and said, "I forgot to say, I don't like being rejected. Enjoy this day off." After that, he walked out.
Chen Chuan stood in the empty venue and thought for a while. After a while, he also walked out.
After leaving the training hall, Tan Wang went straight back to the villa located in the center of the lake. However, when he walked into the training hall, he narrowed his eyes because he saw someone sitting on the sofa where he usually sat.
This was a lion-like man, with a broad mouth and a big nose, and loose hair draped over his shoulders. His broad and strong figure seemed to have bent the sofa. He was wearing a corset training suit, revealing distinct muscles. His strong body seemed to possess a breathtaking power that could make people feel suffocated even from such a distance.
His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, "Who are you?"
The man slowly stood up from the sofa, and with his movement, a stronger sense of oppression suddenly arose, and he answered in a broad and powerful voice: "He Xiaoxing."
