Teacher Yang's Skills are in stealth and tracking, even Internal Energy leans towards concealment and high burst.

In the past, this was an assassin's technique, specifically used for hunting down enemies and assassinating high-ranking officials.

He is excellent at concealment, able to remain undetected even when opponents pass by.

In particular, his Strength Technique includes a shrinking skill; those who master it can even shrink themselves into a small pot.

Most impressively, when someone picks up and moves the pot, he can use a special Internal Energy technique to make himself undetectable in weight for a short period.

Now, in the forest, he can hide among the vegetation and silently burrow underground, making this environment his natural home field.

Chen Chuan looked around the dense forest. The Examination required him to find Teacher Yang within half an hour and defeat him.

If it were just the latter Condition, it would be simple, but finding someone tests his Skills greatly.

This Examination doesn't seem to be about overpowering the opponent with brute Strength, but about achieving the goal within a limited time through analysis of traces and tactical application.

Actually, capturing and analyzing traces, as well as tracking and fighting in different environments, is also an Examination subject at Wuyi Academy.

Within the Processing Bureau, students are sometimes required to master these skills after becoming proficient in the basics.

Chen Chuan's Evaluation Points had already reached the maximum before he reached this stage of learning, so the Processing Bureau didn't require this of him, because a Third-Limit Martial Artist is strong enough to practice and learn in real combat, which is more efficient than learning in school.

However, bringing it up now is clearly targeting his weaknesses.

But it can't be said to be wrong, because from the Academy's perspective, if you want to become a teacher, even if you haven't mastered these Skills, you must have the ability to cope with them. If you can't pass, then please make up for your shortcomings and wait for the next Examination period.

This Examination not only involves the few people present but also attracts many teachers. Instructor Bai, Teacher Jiang, and others are watching this Examination through the light screen.

At this moment, they became interested after seeing the Examination requirements.

If it were a simple Martial Combat competition, they felt that with the Strength Chen Chuan was rumored to have, there would be little suspense. But if it were such an Examination, it would be very interesting, and they wanted to see how he would handle it.

Standing in the dense forest, Chen Chuan knew very well that it was too late and meaningless to try to use identification and search techniques at this point. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't be stronger than Teacher Yang, who specializes in this area.

So, what he had to do was to play to his own strengths.

So, with a thought in his mind, he unleashed his own Energy Field. As the Energy Field gradually expanded, it stopped at a radius of four hundred meters.

However, this was not his limit. This was an Examination, many people were watching, and records were being kept, so he didn't need to expose all his foundations.

But this was enough; he could sense any movement within this range.

At this moment, he didn't feel the presence of Teacher Yang. Either this teacher was hiding well, or he had gone to a farther distance.

However, he dared to assert that the opponent should be within this range, just that his concealment Skills were very Excellent.

Because even if the opponent wanted to hide, he wouldn't just stay put in one place. That's the most passive way to resist. As a Martial Artist, one must grasp the enemy's movements, and Teacher Yang didn't know his foundation beforehand, so he couldn't completely bet on it.

If the opponent hid outside the Energy Field range and wanted to understand his movements, then the only possibility was Energy Field probing. In this case, when he released the Energy Field, the Energy Fields of both sides would collide.

Since there was no movement now, it meant that the opponent must be nearby.

In another room, Teacher Jiang was staring at the two people in the light screen.

He was good at Energy Field Skills, and now he could see Chen Chuan's approach and intentions at a glance.

His assistant asked, puzzled, "Teacher Jiang, why aren't they moving?"

Teacher Jiang replied, "Well, because there's no need to move. But soon someone won't be able to help but move first.

Although Teacher Yang's stealth Skills are very Excellent, he can't hide for too long, especially under Supervisor Chen's continuous Energy Field pressure. It would be good if he could last a few minutes without problems."

The assistant asked, "Why is that?"

Teacher Jiang said, "Because a person's Energy Field can't completely disappear. The apparent disappearance is only because he has integrated into the surrounding environment. But now, Supervisor Chen has also released his Energy Field to cover this area, and the Energy Field itself will interfere with the environment. This will force Teacher Yang's Energy Field to change, which is very exhausting and difficult to maintain for a long time."

Inside the field, Teacher Yang did feel something was wrong. If his concealment Skills were not subject to Influence, he could last for ten days or half a month without problems. In the past, there were even those who could survive for half a year on a single breath.

However, Chen Chuan's Energy Field was always surrounding him, which made him feel very uncomfortable. As Teacher Jiang said, he had to change with the changing environment, which meant he wouldn't be able to last long, not even ten minutes.

After realizing the problem, he thought of another countermeasure. First, he hid without moving. When about half the time had passed, he suddenly jumped from behind a large tree, using the environment and high burst Speed to quickly retreat into the distance, preparing to hide again. Next, as long as he dodged for half an hour, he would succeed.

However, this movement immediately exposed him. Before he could get far, he saw the trees behind him exploding one after another, and a figure rushing towards him at high speed, the momentum so great and the speed so fast that he was horrified.

Before the figure could approach, he immediately rolled down and lay prone on the ground, trying to use the complex vines and tree branches to conceal himself.

Then, before he could finish his movements, a hand reached from behind and grabbed his neck, while a surge of Internal Energy penetrated him. He suddenly shuddered, and all his strength suddenly disappeared.

The hand lifted him up by the neck, but then put him down. Then he heard a voice, "Teacher Yang, sorry for the offense."

Teacher Yang came to his senses and looked at Chen Chuan standing there with a complex expression. He didn't expect to be caught so quickly.

But he believed that even if he tried again, there would probably be no difference, so he was convinced and said, "Supervisor Chen, I admit… cough, I mean, you passed."

Chen Chuan politely said, "Thank you, Teacher Yang."

At this time, the surrounding scene began to disperse, reverting to the previous field. Hong Fu's voice quickly sounded, "Examination is over. Examination personnel Chen Chuan meet the Examination process and requirements. Examination passed."

Assistant Ling came up and smiled, extending his hand to Chen Chuan, saying, "Supervisor Chen, welcome to join Wuyi."

Chen Chuan glanced at him, shook hands with him, and said, "I've always been here."

Assistant Ling smiled, "Supervisor Chen's teacher certificate will be entered into the Wuyi Platform tomorrow. The physical objects and related items will be delivered by someone later. I look forward to working with Supervisor Chen in the future.

Well, I have something to deal with, so I'll take my leave first." With that, he nodded to Chen Chuan and left.

Teacher Yang and several teaching assistants also came up to shake hands with Chen Chuan, congratulated him, and then left one after another.

After Chen Chuan and the others left, he stood in place and pondered. He always felt that today's test seemed to have a certain purpose and was likely related to Assistant Ling.

But no matter what this person thinks, he should do his own thing first.

He straightened his clothes, which were barely wrinkled, and came out of here. He didn't return to the dormitory but took the elevator to the ground floor and left the building directly.

This time he didn't call his special car but drove his Jiade car to Mo Tie Mountain.

He planned to return to Yang Zhi in the next few days. Before going back, he planned to say goodbye to Senior Brother Cao.

Senior Brother Cao had previously told him that the Mansion's closure would extend to May. Now it was June, and it had reopened, the timing was very precise.

After about an hour, he approached the Cao Family Manor. Along the mountain road, he could see colorful roses in full bloom, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance, with many petals falling.

Just then, he saw a car coming down the mountain road, which, from this direction, should have just come out of the Cao Family Manor.

As the vehicles passed each other, he glanced at the other side. Despite the window's obstruction, he could sense a pair of sharp eyes inside.

As they passed each other, the gaze quickly disappeared.

With a thought, he continued driving upwards and soon arrived at the parking lot in front of the Mansion. Uncle Ding was there, and after he got out of the car, he came up, bowed, and respectfully said, "Hello, Supervisor Chen. The young master is waiting for you, please follow me."

With that, he led him inside.

Chen Chuan followed into the residence, this time not going to the main hall but detouring to a lotus pond pavilion.

He saw Cao Guiqi gently throwing bait. Under the green lotus leaves, golden carp were eagerly surfacing, competing for food.

Uncle Ding stopped here.

Chen Chuan walked up, and when he reached Senior Brother Cao's side, the latter handed him a portion of bait and said, "I heard about your promotion to Investigation Director. With the merits you've made, you deserve it, but the subsequent evaluation criteria will not be based on these."

He sprinkled another handful of bait, and the carp below stirred up a splash of water. He stared at it and said, "That's another set of rules."
