Chapter 193: Challenge
Chu Nan closed his personal terminal and looked around before walking towards the nearest bus stop.
Of course, it was impossible for him to think of a complete cooperation agreement in such a short period of time and pass it to Carlisle.
The document added to the message to Carlisle just now was actually something he had started to consider two months ago.
He was not against cooperating with the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, because it was the number one Chamber of Commerce in the Milky Way and had countless huge resources that he could not imagine.
If they could really cooperate, it would definitely be extremely helpful to his future strength.
However, this did not mean that he planned to sell himself to the Noctem Chamber of Commerce.
Although the contract that Carlisle had shown him previously looked very tempting, he had repeated many times that he needed Chu Nan to accept the arrangements of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce and cooperate with all their experiments.
If he really signed this contract, Chu Nan believed that the Noctem Chamber of Commerce would give him the corresponding reward as promised and guarantee his physical and mental health. However, he also believed that they would dig out his value at all costs and squeeze it dry.
This was the nature of businessmen, and the people of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce were the top and most successful businessmen.
Chu Nan was definitely unwilling to be completely controlled by others in the future, so it was naturally impossible for him to sign this contract.
He was now proposing a cooperation model to Carlisle and the Noctem Chamber of Commerce. It was actually similar to the previous model, but it was deeper.
Chu Nan was willing to cooperate with the Noctem Chamber of Commerce to do some experiments that he could grasp and know the inside story because he had obtained quite a bit from these experiments.
At the same time, he asked the Noctem Chamber of Commerce to open up more resources to him, such as various martial techniques.
In the previous experiment, Chu Nan had tried to cultivate various different Internal Breath martial techniques. Although these Internal Breath martial techniques were very low-level and crude, the cultivation of these Internal Breath martial techniques had inspired him. Now, he had truly opened up all the meridians in his body, allowing his Internal Breath to better affect every part of his body.
Moreover, although those Internal Breath martial techniques were low-level and crude, because each was different, the trajectory of the Internal Breath circulation in his meridians was also different. It could allow Chu Nan to observe the different effects of choosing the trajectory of different Internal Breath cultivation methods from more different angles.
What Chu Nan had been doing recently was to find a way to circulate his Internal Breath and cultivate it that could use more meridians at the same time and even the fine meridians.
If he could find this optimal trajectory plan, Chu Nan was certain that the effect of his cultivation would be several times stronger than the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Technique. It would also allow him to advance faster.
Of course, the meridians involved in this far exceeded the meridians involved in the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Technique, let alone Chu Nan’s vain attempt to include more than a million fine meridians.

With this arrangement, the trajectory number that the meridians could run was simply an astronomical figure.
Even if he had an extremely powerful data ability and could complete an experiment in an instant, if he wanted to test all the trajectories that Internal Breath could circulate, he needed an extremely terrifying amount of work and time.
Of course, this would ultimately be extremely beneficial to Chu Nan’s future strength. Therefore, he very much hoped to cooperate with the Noctem Chamber of Commerce again and obtain more different martial techniques from them to compare and refine martial techniques that were more suitable for him.
This thought was also reflected in the place he wanted to go and the things he wanted to do.
Forty minutes later, Chu Nan appeared at the entrance of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall.
Compared to the situation a few days ago when this place was bustling with people because of the Star Cloud Academy’s initial assessment, the current Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall was clearly much quieter.
Of course, this emptiness was only relative.
In fact, the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall was one of the three great martial arts halls in Sigma City. Now, it maintained more than 3,000 students all year round, so there were definitely many people.
Chu Nan only stood at the door for a moment before he was recognized by many people entering and exiting.
“Eh? Isn’t this Chu Nan?”
“Yes, it’s really him. Why is he here?”
…
Chu Nan was already quite famous among the young martial artists of the federation because of his performance in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition. A few days ago, he had even publicly defeated Brax, who had the strength of a fourth-stage Internal Breath Realm, in the initial assessment. Therefore, his reputation among the young martial artists of Sigma City had soared, and it had even left a deep impression on the young students of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall who were watching.
Now that he appeared here, it naturally attracted the curiosity of countless people.
Chu Nan looked around and walked towards the student closest to him. He asked with a smile, “May I ask if Xue Zhengming is here today?”
That student and his two companions looked at each other in confusion.
“Why are you looking for him?”
“It’s nothing. I was interrupted halfway through my spar with him last time and have always felt that it was not enough. Some time ago, I was busy with various things and did not have the time to come here. Now that I’ve finally settled the other trivial matters, I want to continue asking him for guidance.”
Chu Nan spoke very politely, but when the surrounding students heard this, their expressions changed.
Since he knew Xue Zhengming’s name, he definitely knew that this was the only son of the Xue family’s patriarch, Xue Changhao.
Everyone knew that the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall was opened by the Xue family.
Challenging the Xue family was no different from challenging the entire Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall.
This guy had specially come here to challenge Xue Zhengming. If it fell into the ears of the surrounding academies, it would only remind them of the same word.
Challenge!
After a long silence, the student who had been questioned by Chu Nan had a dark expression and shouted in a low voice, “Chu Nan, don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you defeated Brax and obtained first place in the initial assessment! Our Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall has countless experts. Do you think you can defeat them all?”
Chu Nan frowned with a puzzled expression.
He had only come this time to spar with Xue Zhengming and continue to experience the special feeling that the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm had given him last time to increase his understanding of external martial techniques. He had no intention of challenging all the experts of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall.
Looking up and looking around, he discovered that other than the three people in front of him, the other students in the uniform of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall were also looking at him with indignation. Only then did Chu Nan understand.
These guys had clearly misunderstood.
“Ah, I only…” Chu Nan originally wanted to explain, but as soon as he spoke, he suddenly had a thought and revealed a strange smile, “…I want to spar with Xue Zhengming, but if everyone in the martial arts hall wants to enlighten me, I naturally can’t ask for more.”
As soon as he said this, it was simply a naked announcement of a challenge.
The expressions of the surrounding students immediately changed and they looked at Chu Nan with killing intent.
