Instruction

On September 1st, new students enrolled at the Wuyi Main Academy in Center City. In fact, strictly speaking, most students admitted to the Main Academy entered during this period. Although the Main Academy placed no special restrictions on this, those like Chen Chuan who arrived half a semester early were still in the minority. Yet no one had anticipated beforehand that in just half a semester, he would have already finished the path that took ordinary students three to four years, or even longer, to complete. However, this was only the beginning. Chen Chuan remembered what He Xiaoxing had told him: the concept of limits originated from the fact that within a certain stage, the human body could only reach a defined upper limit. In theory, only a truly perfect individual could reach this upper limit. Although it seemed distant, he felt it was not necessarily impossible for him. According to what He Xiaoxing had later told him, from... Therefore, his next goal was to improve himself comprehensively and try to touch that theoretical upper limit. Yet this meant requiring several times more training resources than fighters of the same level, as well as expending far more effort. Difficult though the road ahead was, the mere thought that continuing down it would make him even stronger filled his heart with intense anticipation and drive. Using his boundary credential, he opened the Wuyi platform and glanced at this semester's schedule. Once a student reached... However, what he was most focused on was how his subsequent training should proceed. Yet when he checked, the platform informed him that everything involving... Seeing this, Chen Chuan first submitted an application through his boundary credential. Soon, a prompt appeared before his eyes informing him that the application had been submitted and the academy would reply within three to five days. Seeing that this was the case, he was in no hurry over these few days and looked into a few other things as well, particularly regarding... Regarding this, the academy had no strict restrictions. After all, it was impossible to prohibit fighters from exchanging knowledge with one another, and plenty of people were willing to teach knowledge that didn't require many external resources. The first thing he looked into was application techniques for the biological field. He felt this was extremely useful, as it allowed one to discern external people and objects relying solely on the biological field without physical senses, and to transmit and receive information without relying on old learning methods. This was an immensely practical skill. However, as he browsed through, most instructors' paid courses on the platform were geared toward... In that case, he could only ask one of the academy's instructors first. They were familiar with internal affairs, which was far better than searching aimlessly on his own. Just then, he suddenly remembered Teacher Bai, who had escorted the students to the arena venue that day. At the time, this teacher had told him that if he ever needed anything, he could attend his classes free of charge. He had looked over this teacher's profile. Teacher Bai was primarily responsible for theoretical courses, so he should be able to offer some advice in this area. Having made up his mind, he located Teacher Bai's avatar and tried to contact him. After only two or three seconds, the call connected, and Teacher Bai said in a teasing tone, "Trainee Chen, school just started..." Chen Chuan said, "I actually do have a few things I'd like to ask you, Teacher." Teacher Bai smiled and said, "Well, I happen to be free right now. Feel free to ask whatever you want, Trainee Chen." As he was speaking, Fan Cheng and Kong Yao, whom Chen Chuan had run into in the elevator that day, were waiting outside the classroom. To avoid being demoted to external students, they had to strive to improve themselves. Over the past two days, they had browsed through profiles of various academy instructors on the platform, but it had left their eyes swimming. It felt as if they needed to learn this, and also needed to learn that; not a single subject seemed unimportant. Moreover, judging from the instructors' claims, it seemed that if one didn't take their courses, passing the assessments and raising evaluation scores would be nearly impossible, which only made them more anxious the more they read. They realized that on their own, they simply couldn't tell which instructor was right for them. If they chose wrong, wasting money was a secondary concern—they could always drop out—but wasting time and falling behind in progress was the real issue. Later, a senior student recommended Teacher Bai to them. Although this instructor only handled martial theory, he was familiar with every teacher in the academy and could provide detailed guidance and planning tailored to a student's strengths and characteristics. This was exceedingly rare, equivalent to pointing out a clear path, so they had hurried over. However, they weren't the only ones looking for this instructor in the new semester. Only after waiting for quite some time and purchasing additional course slots did their turn finally come. "Who is Teacher Bai talking to? Why is it taking so long?" Fan Cheng muttered, growing a bit restless. "Looking at how broadly Teacher Bai was smiling when he walked into the room just now, it must be another instructor..." Kong Yao said, somewhat uncertain. "Anyway, it's already our turn. We just need to wait." "Sigh..." Fan Cheng scratched his hair, plucking out a few loose strands from time to time. Fortunately, fighters' hair grew fast, thick, and lush, so he didn't need to worry about any problems for the time being. Meanwhile, on the other end, Chen Chuan stated his purpose into the boundary credential: "Teacher Bai, I want to learn techniques related to the biological field. I wonder if you could give me some guidance?" Teacher Bai chuckled and said, "I can certainly offer some advice on that front, but as for teaching you myself, Trainee Chen, I don't consider myself qualified. However, I can recommend an instructor—Instructor Jiang Tian. "This instructor has made notable achievements in this field. Though he isn't very old, his theoretical foundation in utilizing fields is on par with mine, and his practical skills are more than sufficient. Moreover, he is easy to talk to, and his teaching isn't dull in the slightest. I believe he should be suitable for you, Trainee Chen." "Instructor Jiang?" "What, do you know him, Trainee Chen?" Chen Chuan said, "I passed my technique assessment with Instructor Jiang previously." Teacher Bai seemed to recall something and suddenly laughed. "I heard that Instructor Jiang nearly suffered an upset during a student's assessment because he was overconfident. So that student was you, Trainee Chen? Then it's no wonder. But that works out perfectly; it saves me the trouble of introducing you. I'll drop Instructor Jiang a message in a moment." Chen Chuan said, "Thank you, Teacher Bai." Teacher Bai said, "Don't mention it, Trainee Chen. Since you came to me, as an instructor, if you don't mind my nagging, let me say a couple more words." Chen Chuan said, "Please go ahead, Teacher Bai." Teacher Bai said, "As you know, I deal in martial theory rather than practical combat. But theory allows you to clearly discern enemies, recognize yourself, and understand where you are walking and where you are headed." He emphasized with gravity, "Never underestimate this point. Once you are clear on this, doubt will vanish from your heart, and an unobstructed heart's intent will coalesce into a firm and unyielding will. This will be tremendously beneficial to your mental cultivation. "Even in actual combat, it can help you analyze and locate an enemy's flaws. "Looking at all those powerful..." Thoughtful, Chen Chuan replied earnestly, "Thank you for the reminder, Teacher." Teacher Bai smiled. He could tell from Chen Chuan's tone that the student had genuinely taken his words to heart, giving him a great sense of accomplishment. He said, "Student Chen, whenever there's something you don't understand in the future, feel free to come find me anytime. I look forward to speaking with you." With that conversation concluded, Teacher Bai stepped out of the classroom. Fan Cheng and Kong Yao, who had been waiting there for a long time, immediately approached. Looking somewhat solemn, he said, "You two students, sorry to keep you waiting. I had some important matters to attend to just now." Fan Cheng quickly said, "Not at all! Your matters take priority, Teacher; our business can wait." "Mm. Then let us begin. You two, follow me inside. I will first evaluate your fundamentals." "Yes, of course." Fan Cheng and Kong Yao hurriedly followed him in. Inside his dorm room on the forty-ninth floor, after finishing his call with Teacher Bai, Chen Chuan tried contacting Instructor Jiang. After just a moment, the call connected, and a voice came from the other side: "Trainee Chen?" Chen Chuan said, "Instructor Jiang, it's me, Chen Chuan." Instructor Jiang laughed and said, "Teacher Bai just sent me a message. I happen to be free this morning, so just come straight over. Practice Room 5 on the eighty-second floor." Chen Chuan said, "I'll be right over." He tidied up, took the Xuejun Saber, stepped out, and took the elevator all the way to the eighty-second floor, following the corridor until he found Practice Room 5. When he walked inside, Instructor Jiang was wearing loose training attire, with artist-like long hair. He stood on warm-toned flooring with a whole row of tall windows behind him, where light shone in from outside, making the room exceptionally bright. As Chen Chuan walked in, he heard the man's voice ring out: "Everyone possesses a biological field; it can be considered the aggregate of a person's life information. However, in ordinary people, it is faint and drawn inward, hardly perceptible to the outside world. In fighters, due to the mutated tissue inside their bodies, the field is remarkably bold and forceful, capable of influencing an entire area. "Yet purely projecting your field outward will only reveal your own information to others. For now, keeping it restrained is a relatively good method, but when facing an enemy, it is not the best approach."
