Chu Nan was in a room located underground about 30 meters deep. About a hundred meters away from the rehabilitation data center was an extremely huge underground space.
In this underground space, countless machines of all kinds flickered non-stop. Hundreds of people in the uniform of the West Cloud Academy shuttled back and forth in the space, looking busy.
In the middle of the space was a huge virtual screen dozens of meters in length and width. On the screen, countless data streams were continuously falling.
Below the screen, there were more than ten people standing there and looking up. Their leisurely appearance was a little different from their surroundings.
However, the surrounding researchers did not have any complaints. Instead, they looked at the group in the middle with reverence.
This was because among these mere ten-odd people, there was actually the dean of the West Cloud Academy and the deputy dean in charge of managing affairs. There was even one person who was the executive officer of the West Cloud Federation's government!
However, what truly filled everyone's eyes with reverence was the middle-aged man in the middle who did not look eye-catching at first glance.
This man was Mu Yutong!
Star-Grade Martial Artist!
"Mr. Mu, our West Cloud Academy agrees with the theory that you proposed to combine technology and martial arts ten years ago. You see, not only can this rehabilitation data center provide treatment, health care, and other services to the students of the West Cloud Academy, but it can also collect information about all aspects of the students and help them improve their martial arts skills." The current dean of the West Cloud Academy introduced enthusiastically to Mu Yutong.
Mu Yutong nodded lightly. After looking around expressionlessly, he asked the dean, "May I ask, Dean Feng, is there anyone especially outstanding among the students of your esteemed academy?"
"Of course!" The dean replied with certainty, "Although our West Cloud Academy is nothing in the entire federation, there are still many genius students. For example, the two students of the second grade, Luo Li and Feng Xiao. Despite their age, one of them has already become a fifth-stage Overlord Body Martial Artist, and the other is a fourth-stage Overlord Body Martial Artist. It can be said that they are rare geniuses in our academy."
"Fifth-stage Overlord Body?" Mu Yutong raised his eyebrows, "That's not bad."
Seeing that Mu Yutong did not seem interested, Dean Feng immediately became a little anxious.
He had long known that Mu Yutong had stopped at every residential planet in the Earth Federation this time to take in more disciples.
If the West Cloud Academy could have a student that he took a fancy to and take under his wing, then the reputation of the academy would definitely increase greatly, and it would be extremely beneficial to their future development.
"Mr. Mu, this…"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Dean Feng spoke, Mu Yutong looked up at the four virtual screens above.
"Dean Feng, I heard that your A.I. is imported from the Noctem Chamber of Commerce. Its performance is extremely outstanding?"
Dean Feng's words were stuck in his throat. He paused for a moment, and a proud expression appeared on his face.
"Yes, we spent a huge sum of money to bring in this A.I., and its performance is indeed extremely outstanding. Now, all the various matters in our academy are basically handled through this A.I., and there has never been a problem until now."
"Is that so?" Mu Yutong pointed at the virtual screen, "Why did I see some random codes in the data flow?"
"Random codes? This can't be…" Dean Feng wanted to refute, but when he looked up, he realized that a row of random codes had really appeared on the originally orderly data flow on the four virtual screens!
"This…" Dean Feng was stunned. A drop of cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
It was one thing to be embarrassed in front of the Executive Officer of the Federation and Mu Yutong. Most importantly, this A.I. was responsible for handling the affairs of the entire academy. If anything happened to it, the entire academy might fall into chaos!
When he thought of this terrifying outcome, Dean Feng could not care less and immediately delegated tasks to the deputy dean behind him.
Soon, the underground space that was still busy and orderly became chaotic.
…
Bang!
Seeing Feng Xiao land on the ground, Chu Nan shook his head.
Compared to Luo Li, this Feng Xiao was already a little boring after less than 20 times.
After some thought, he looked up again.
"Beating up this guy can't make me happy anymore. Can you change to a stronger opponent?"
"A stronger one?" A mysterious voice sounded. "You mean someone with greater martial techniques?"
"That's right."
"Alright, I'll satisfy your request."
Feng Xiao's figure disappeared and another figure began to condense in front of Chu Nan.
After seeing this figure, Chu Nan could not help but stick out his tongue.
This virtual figure was actually a famous Internal Breath Martial Artist in the entire West Cloud City!
According to the ability of a martial artist, they were usually divided into five levels. They were respectively the Novice, Overlord Body, Internal Breath, Void Break, and Heaven Control. Every level was divided into five levels from the initial-stage to the fifth-stage.
A fifth-stage Overlord Body Martial Artist like Luo Li had already tempered his body to a certain extent. As long as his Internal Breath was successfully circulated, he could take another step forward and become an Internal Breath Martial Artist.
However, there was only such a difference in ability.
Luo Li could be called the strongest among the Overlord Body Martial Artists, but he had no chance of winning against any Internal Breath Martial Artist.
Chu Nan had said that he wanted a stronger opponent earlier because he felt that Luo Li could not pose any threat to him, so he was bored.
However, as soon as this Internal Breath Martial Artist moved, Chu Nan immediately discovered that the pressure he felt was completely different from Luo Li.
When he was fighting with Luo Li and Feng Xiao just now, he could determine the other party's movements by collecting all the data of their movements and easily react.
However, as soon as this Internal Breath Martial Artist made a move, even though Chu Nan could immediately obtain all the relevant data and instantly determine the trajectory of his opponent's movements through these data, and could even instantly think of his next reaction, just as Chu Nan's mind reacted, the other party had already thrown a punch at him.
Chu Nan only had time to turn his body slightly before he was ruthlessly punched in the face.
Pew!
The powerful impact of 783.532673 kilograms on this punch instantly sent Chu Nan flying. When he was still in the air, he spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with several fallen teeth.
Chu Nan's body was heavily smashed into the ground. The intense pain on his face almost made his entire body go numb.
However, before he could do anything, he discovered a black shadow flash before his eyes. Immediately, a fist that carried a biting cold wind landed and heavily smashed into Chu Nan's head.
The impact of 983.683295 kilograms directly smashed Chu Nan's head into pieces.
He immediately lost consciousness.
After an unknown period of time, Chu Nan slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he discovered that he was still in the empty virtual space.
He touched his face and discovered that it was already intact. There was also no pain in his body, as if nothing had happened.
"What's going on?" Chu Nan looked around in confusion.
At this moment, he was even more certain of his suspicion. This environment was indeed not his dream.
"Student Chu Nan, in the battle with the Internal Breath Martial Artist, Dos Minsky, I judged you to have failed and died. Do you want to continue fighting him?" A mysterious voice sounded.
"Died?" Chu Nan was stunned. "What a joke? If I'm dead, why am I still here? Right, what are you? How did you create this space in my consciousness?"
"Student Chu Nan, do you still want to continue fighting with the Internal Breath Martial Artist, Dos Minsky?"
"Damn, answer my question!"
"Student Chu Nan, do you still want to continue fighting with the Internal Breath Martial Artist, Dos Minsky?"
Chu Nan was immediately speechless. It seemed that this guy would not answer this question.
As for whether he should continue fighting with Dos Minsky… Chu Nan frowned.
Although the battle earlier was extremely short, he had already understood the problem.
Although he could easily defeat Luo Li and Feng Xiao, the two Overlord Body Martial Artists, through the powerful data collection, analysis, and processing ability he obtained in this space, when facing a much stronger Internal Breath Martial Artist, although he could rely on this ability to determine his opponent's movements, his mind could react, but his body could not.
Chu Nan was helpless about this because according to the various statistics of his body, it was indeed impossible for him to move at the same time as his thoughts.
In other words, even if he continued to fight that Internal Breath Martial Artist, he could only lose.
Could he give up?
Chu Nan instantly shook his head.
It was not easy to encounter such a situation that was beneficial to him. It was a pity to give up like this.
Even if he returned to reality and lost this powerful ability to collect, analyze, and process data, being able to have precious combat experience with Internal Breath Realm Martial Artists would still be extremely helpful to him.
"Student Chu Nan, do you still want to continue fighting with the Internal Breath Martial Artist, Dos Minsky?" The mysterious voice sounded again and urged.
Chu Nan thought for a moment before he raised his head and replied, "Continue, but can you pause for a moment? I need to make preparations."
"Sure. Let me know when you're ready."
After receiving a confirmed answer, Chu Nan started to think.
His mind kept replaying the battle situation.
Due to the accurate data collection, the battle situation in his mind was perfectly replayed. What Chu Nan needed to do now was to analyze the battle in less than two seconds.
"Yes, my right leg should sink a little more at this time so that it's easier to exert strength."
"My right arm was raised too high. I couldn't retract it in time."
"The same goes for my left hand. If I stretch it too long and my chest is so empty, even if this Dos Minsky doesn't break my neck, I'll definitely die if his fist hits my chest."
...
After careful analysis, Chu Nan was shocked to discover that he had already made so many mistakes in this short battle and exposed so many weaknesses. If Dos Minsky still could not win under such circumstances, then he would have been a powerful Internal Breath Martial Artist in vain.
"This is the problem of having too little combat experience." Chu Nan frowned and instantly understood his greatest weakness.
However, this was something that could not be helped. In the past, his strength was truly too weak, and he utterly did not have the ability to fight others. Naturally, he did not have any combat experience to speak of.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Nan clenched his fists.
This was a good opportunity!
"Hey, I want to continue fighting Dos Minsky."
After Chu Nan shouted at the sky, the mysterious voice sounded.
"Student Chu Nan, you are about to start the battle with Dos Minsky. Please prepare, 3… 2… 1, begin!"
Dos Minsky's figure instantly appeared not far away from him, and then he rushed over with the same action as before.
Chu Nan stared at the other party's actions with rapt attention. At the same time, countless numbers were constantly circulating in his mind. When Dos Minsky arrived in front of him, he instantly lowered his body and dodged the first punch. At the same time, he stepped back with his right foot, lowered his waist, and aimed his right fist at Dos Minsky's abdomen in a perfect arc.
Regardless of the angle, speed, or strength of this punch, it was all calculated by Chu Nan. It could be said that he had gathered all his strength and its power was extraordinary.
At the same time, the timing of this punch was also perfect. It was the moment when the previous force had just dissipated and the new force had yet to be born. According to Chu Nan's calculations, this punch could be said to have hit the target.
Compared to his performance in the previous two battles, it could be said that Chu Nan had improved greatly.
However, he had still underestimated the power of an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist.
The muscles on his body suddenly twitched strangely. His waist twisted at an unbelievable angle and he happened to dodge Chu Nan's punch. Then, he raised his left arm and smashed towards Chu Nan like a wooden stick.
Chu Nan had originally thought that his punch would hit nothing, but he was already shocked. When he saw this change, he could only raise his head and dodge desperately.
However, as soon as he raised his head, he felt a sharp pain in his lower body.
Chu Nan was kicked by Dos Minsky and it struck his lower body.
"Damn, this is retribution."
The intense pain only lasted for less than a second before Chu Nan lost consciousness.
…
After regaining his senses, Chu Nan directly indicated for the mysterious voice to stop and began to analyze the battle again.
A moment later, he began his battle with Dos Minsky again.
This time, he was defeated in less than ten seconds.
However, Chu Nan did not have the intention to be discouraged. On the contrary, he was very excited. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was to defeat his opponent!
Challenge, failure, analysis of the battle process, summarizing, challenging again, failing again, analyzing again…
In the battle with Dos Minsky, Chu Nan had unknowingly improved bit by bit.
Compared to before, regardless of whether it was his body's posture, his reaction to his own usage or battle had already increased countless times.
At the same time, his battle with Dos Minsky changed bit by bit.
From the initial ten seconds to one minute, two minutes, ten minutes…
From being completely suppressed at the beginning, to gradually counterattacking, to being evenly matched, and even suppressing Dos Minsky…
Bang!
Chu Nan punched out, and it just so happened to pass through the gap between his arms and heavily struck Dos Minsky's chest.
Pew!
Dos Minsky involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood and his body swayed back.
Before he could react, Chu Nan had already ruthlessly pounced forward and smashed apart the last bit of defense on his chest with two punches. Then, he twisted his body and his left leg drew an arc in the air before he kicked sideways in the air and landed on Dos Minsky's neck.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, Dos Minsky's neck tilted to the side. In the blink of an eye, his figure turned into a phantom and disappeared.
