Chapter 1549 A Firm Will Is Hard to Change

While Chen Bitong was thinking, Chen Xiaojin moved. However, the next moment, he was kicked away by his prepared opponent. After landing, he moved sideways for a distance and almost slipped off the stage.

Fortunately, this kind of match does not count points; it can only end when one side concedes or is completely incapacitated. So, as Chen Xiaojin rolled over and got up, the match continued.

Chen Bitong sighed slightly. He knew his youngest son well. He wasn't good at adapting to changing circumstances. He had a little talent, but not much, and he was far inferior to his older brothers and sisters.

If it had been his eldest son or daughter in that split second, they would definitely have seized that fleeting opportunity.

However, his youngest son's stubbornness was just like his own. Once he set his mind on something, he would do everything in his power to achieve it and would never turn back.

Chen Xiaojin charged forward again, but the gap between him and his opponent was obvious. Almost all of his counterattacks were effectively blocked and dodged by his opponent, which in turn exposed more openings for him.

He was knocked down multiple times, and once even after falling to the ground, he was relentlessly attacked. Despite this, he persevered and stood up again.

At this stage, outstanding students have mastered the power of internal energy. Every attack they receive is a blow to the mutated organization, which will increase their physical strength and cause their breathing to become disordered. Usually, by this point, the outcome of the battle is already clear.

At this moment, Chen Bitong noticed that although his youngest son was no match for his opponent, he always took certain precautions or avoided his vital areas when he was hit.

Moreover, even if an ordinary person is resilient, they would probably not be able to stand up at this point, but Chen Xiaojin is not like that. Originally, it was estimated that Chen Xiaojin would fall down in two or three moves, but now he is still maintaining his breathing and a stable fighting rhythm.

He could tell that this person had undoubtedly undergone relevant training and special instruction, but it hadn't been very noticeable in previous matches; instead, their strengths lay in their agility and fierce attacks.

If that's the case, then there's still a fight to be had.

Chen Chuan sat there calmly watching. The things he instructed Chen Xiaojin on were not very technical; that was all left for the latter to hone in actual combat. The most important thing was to strengthen the breathing method for the mutated tissue.

One of the main functions of this is to significantly enhance Chen Xiaojin's ability to withstand blows.

Because the alien organization will respond to your will, and Chen Xiaojin is extremely resilient. The alien organization also has this characteristic, so although he looks like he has been knocked to the ground, he is actually not seriously injured.

On the contrary, every time the opponent exerts force, it is a huge drain on their energy. After all, at their stage, even those from orthodox academic backgrounds cannot exert force casually.

At this moment, the reporters sitting below the stage and the college teachers present realized that the battle had taken a turn for the worse, and was no longer the one-sided situation as before. This finally made them perk up a little.

After seeing this, Chen Xiaojin's opponent gradually became a little impatient.

Knowing that Chen Xiaojin was agile and skilled in grappling techniques, his strategy was to primarily use hit-and-run tactics, making it impossible for Chen Xiaojin to touch him, thereby completely cutting off the latter's attack path, and then launching a counterattack when the opportunity arose.

He judged that he could easily win the battle in about three or four strikes.

However, Chen Xiaojin just wouldn't fall down; no matter how much he was hit, he could always get back up.

This disrupted his plans.

He realized he couldn't continue like this; the strain on his strength told him he couldn't hold on much longer, and he had to break the deadlock quickly.

His speed had actually slowed down by now, and he could no longer maintain his previous swiftness and agility.

Fortunately, his superior skills and physique still gave him an advantage in the ring. So after a few rounds, he seized another opportunity and threw a punch that made a loud bang, sending the unsuspecting Chen Xiaojin flying far away.

This time, he attacked with great decisiveness and with all his might. After the punch, his body swayed, he was panting heavily, his face turned red, his hands and feet began to tremble, and his mutated tissues even began to spasm.

Chen Xiaojin lay there motionless at first, but after only two breaths, he tried to get up again and seemed to be alright.

Anyone who witnessed this scene and knew even a little bit about fighting techniques could tell who the final winner was.

A look of disbelief and intense resentment flashed in the eyes of the student opposite him. In a struggle, he raised his hand to admit defeat.

There's no other way; if he continues playing, he might get injured, which would affect his upcoming matches.

Actually, he was still somewhat unwilling to admit defeat. It was just that this match was a no-weapon combat. If he had a weapon, he could have seriously injured Chen Xiaojin with a single blow, and there would have been no need for the subsequent protracted battle.

Chen Bitong remained silent for a moment after seeing this. Then a notification sounded, and a medical staff member came in and reminded him, "Instructor Chen, it's time for your examination."

"it is good."

After glancing at Chen Xiaojin's image on the screen again, Chen Bitong turned it off.

The medical staff looked at him and said with a smile, "Instructor Chen, you seem to be in a good mood."

Chen Bitong was taken aback. "Really?"

The medical staff nodded. "This is the first time I've seen you smile since you came here."

She added, "You should smile more; keeping a happy mood will help your recovery." Then she glanced at the screen, "If you like, you can watch more of these kinds of programs."

Chen Bitong fell silent for a moment before nodding. The medical staff smiled and came over to examine him.

On the ring, Chen Xiaojin felt a surge of joy after defeating his opponent. This was the most difficult match he had ever faced since joining the competition, as he could hardly find any weaknesses in his opponent and could only rely on his exceptional resilience to wear him down.

He hadn't thought about anything else; he only had one thought in his mind: he would definitely not be the one to collapse prematurely.

After putting this thought into practice, he felt a surge of fatigue and pain, but there was also an itching sensation in his body and mind. He knew that this was the growth of the mutated tissue, so he quickly adjusted his breathing using the method Chen Chuan had taught him.

The referee came out and briefly announced the victory, then he could leave. Next, he could think about the next game.

At that moment, he turned his head and unintentionally saw Chen Chuan sitting there. He was first taken aback, then his face lit up with surprise. But then he heard a voice in his mind: "Wait for me in the rest area."

Chen Xiaojin nodded emphatically and walked to the back.

As the contestants left, the referees, media reporters, and some spectators also gradually departed. In the end, only Chen Chuan and Gu Xuanbin remained in the empty arena.

Gu Xuanbin said, "Advisor Chen, the enemies outside are eyeing us covetously. Our advisory group is currently striving for stability and should unite to direct our efforts outward. What do you think?"

Chen Chuan looked at him and asked, "Can it really be stable?"

Gu Xuanbin said, "That's right, some people have indeed crossed the line, but what caused all of that was the conflict that was initially caused."

I think even if we have any internal disputes, we can discuss them at the meeting and come up with a solution, instead of letting the conflict escalate indefinitely, and certainly not letting it hinder the overall situation.

"Consultant Chen, I can guarantee that all those involved will be punished accordingly, and I assure you that similar incidents will not occur again."

He said in a deep voice, "Going into this will not benefit anyone."

Chen Chuanchuan said, "I don't think so."

Gu Xuanbin frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Advisor Chen, I joined the advisory group earlier than you, and I have seen a lot of things."

Before you, there were others who had the same ideas and tried to make some changes, but none of them succeeded. Even if they broke through to the top, they never tried anything similar again.

Because once they reach the upper echelons, their perspective broadens, allowing them to see what we were previously blinded to. Therefore, when we act, we cannot only look at the immediate present. The current structure is the result of years of refinement and is always the most suitable for us. Have you considered the consequences of rashly breaking it?

Chen Chuan turned his head and asked, "Are you aware of the things some people do and the potential consequences they might cause?"

Gu Xuanbin said, "Some things didn't really happen, did they?"

Chen Chuan said, "Just because something has always been this way doesn't necessarily mean it's right, and we shouldn't take mutual compromise for granted. You just asked me if I had considered the consequences of breaking this rule rashly?"

He stood up from his seat and walked out, uttering a calm sentence.

"Consultant Gu Xuanbin, you will see."

Gu Xuanbin watched him leave, then said to Jie Ping, "I know he didn't agree, but we still have to try, right? Be prepared. Hmm, his will is very firm. If you want my opinion, I think it's the same as before, nothing will change."

After the call ended, he got up and left.

Chen Chuan arrived at the rear rest area, where Chen Xiaojin was waiting. He had already wiped away his sweat and changed into a student uniform.

Upon seeing him, she immediately stood up and said, "Teacher!"

Chen Chuan walked over, gestured for him to sit down, and then sat down opposite him.

He said, "You played well in this game, but you'll be targeted in the next one. Think about it, if you were your opponent, what methods would you use?"

Chen Xiaojin thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "Weapons. We can use weapons in the next round. Even if going unarmed gives you extra points, you won't give up this advantage when dealing with me in order to increase your chances of winning."

Chen Chuan said: "It's good that you realize this, Xiao Jin. I remember you said you only trust your own fists."

Chen Xiaojin nodded solemnly.

Chen Chuan said, "Then trust your own heart. The breathing method I taught you can strengthen the alienated tissue. If a person's alienated tissue is not strong enough, then he can only develop one kind of strength."

However, if the coverage is sufficient, then one can master two types of force. As for more than that, it is almost impossible for a fighter to do so unless they possess a special physique.

Now that your mutated organization has been tempered by battle, it's almost ready to move on to the next stage. Now I'll tell you how to simultaneously cultivate your external strength.
