The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 114 Jiang Chuan! You really didn't disappoint me!

Chapter 114 Jiang Chuan! You really didn't disappoint me!
Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Wu Zhen was taken aback.

He then said excitedly, "Well done!"

"Only then are you worthy to be my opponent!"

"Destiny has begun, how could I possibly back down!"

"Jiang Chuan... I hope your abilities will satisfy me!"

"This contest will surely leave its mark on history!"

Many of the students present were taken aback by these words, and then felt somewhat embarrassed.

There was a lot of talking in the corridor.

"Fight Jiang Chuan? Has he gone mad?"

"Didn't you see that Jiang Chuan broke through the barrier in less than four minutes? He just broke through the formation, and although he has some strength, he's still far behind Jiang Chuan, right?"

"Whatever, there's going to be a show to watch."

"Moreover, this kid has at least broken through the barrier, so he's definitely not much weaker than me."

Besides these familiar classmates whom Jiang Chuan didn't know, there were also some familiar faces among them.

Lin Ci was also woken up by Wu Zhen's loud voice. He stood at the door of his dormitory, watching this scene with a slight smile on his lips.

He certainly understood what Jiang Chuan meant by "Don't you dare run away."

Meanwhile, Tang, Song, and Ming were quickly knocking on the doors of their acquaintances, reminding them that "there's a good show to watch."

When Li Yi heard someone calling Jiang Chuan's name, she naturally opened the door to see what was going on. After understanding the situation, she was also a little surprised. Although Wu Zhen was exceptionally talented, did he have some trump card to challenge Jiang Chuan?

Tang Songming couldn't get into Song Xi's room, so he had to give up.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan and Wu Zhen had already moved to the playground.

……

canteen.

Someone rushed in and yelled at his friend from a distance, "Jiang Chuan and Wu Zhen are going to fight!"

"Hurry to the playground!"

Hearing this, Zhong Huahua, who was eating breakfast, sped up her eating, stuffed the food into her mouth, and immediately set off for the playground like the others.

……

In the corridor, Tian Tian, who had changed her clothes, was banging loudly on Song Xi's door.

She saw the note Tang Songming left behind when he left, which read, "Miss Song cannot be woken up after a long time. Brother Jiang and Wu Zhen want to fight. Go to the playground immediately."

Tian Tian knocked for a while, afraid of missing something, and was about to leave when Song Xi opened the door.

Song Xi, who was still half asleep in her panda pajamas, was initially excited when she heard that Jiang Chuan and Wu Zhen were going to fight. Then, a little disappointed, she muttered to herself, "I was supposed to go first..."

Tian Tian: "What?"

Song Xi had already put on her shoes: "Quick! Let's go!"

……

It's so early in the morning, and with a holiday today, the students certainly won't miss this opportunity.

Moreover, both of them on the playground were quite famous, which piqued everyone's interest.

Jiang Chuan is certainly famous. As the first to break through the formation and the absolute leader in the second stage, he enjoys extremely high recognition among his classmates.

Wu Zhen is also quite famous. As a transfer student, he made such shocking remarks as soon as he entered the class, so he naturally has a good following, albeit a negative one. Among the other students in the class, he has already earned the nickname "Two Kings".

This nickname wasn't because he ranked second in ability among his classmates...

Rather, he is a combination of the king of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) and the king of idiots.

This reputation has even begun to infiltrate Class Two...

The contest between these two has been the most entertaining part since the training began.

Almost all the students came to watch.

Some people were wearing pajamas, some were carrying steamed buns, some girls even rushed to the playground with only half of their makeup on, and some even came with tooth mugs and toothbrushes.

The playground was instantly bustling with activity and buzzing with discussion.

“Who will win?”

"Is that even a question? Of course it's Jiang Chuan."

"Wu Zhen also broke through the formation. He didn't have any trump cards up his sleeve before challenging Jiang Chuan?"

"Challenge? That word isn't quite right. Although Jiang Chuan is strong, he's clearly lacking in martial arts foundation. If they were to actually fight, the outcome would be uncertain."

“That makes sense. Although Jiang Chuan is incredibly fast and makes rapid progress in the bronze statue formation, the bronze statues are inanimate. In actual combat, he may not be able to demonstrate absolute dominance.”

“When Wu Zhen broke the formation, his approach was different from Jiang Chuan’s. He is a master of the sword. Although he is a bit strange, he is still very strong.”

These discussions rose and fell, and the relative strengths of Jiang Chuan and Wu Zhen were roughly analyzed in their back-and-forth conversations.

Although Wu Zhen might have a hard time defeating Jiang Chuan, this was, after all, their first real battle, and it was hard to say who would emerge victorious.

Wu Zhen was very satisfied with the current situation.

He was especially pleased that no one had any faith in him.

"Then you'll be amazed by my true power!"

"Defeat Jiang Chuan, who is in first place, and solidify my position as the number one martial artist!"

"This is the first step on my road to success!"

Thinking this, he gazed at Jiang Chuan in the distance and said:
"Jiang Chuan, are you ready to be my stepping stone?"

Jiang Chuan frowned. Just now it was said to be a fateful duel, but now he has become a stepping stone?

What on earth is this kid thinking?
Who exactly can awaken their memories like this?
But it doesn't matter, I came here to vent.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan also gripped the hilt of the dagger, but he did not remove it from its sheath.

It's a fight, not murder, so the effect is the same even with the sheath on.

Song Xi sensed that the competition was about to begin, and wearing her panda pajamas, she exclaimed excitedly, "It's starting! It's starting!"

Wu Zhen drew his long sword and suddenly burst into speed, leaving a trail of afterimages on the rubber track. His move was astonishing and caused a stir among the students on the field!
"He really does have something!"

Jiang Chuan raised the dagger halfway, but ultimately dodged to the side. The blade was inches away, a truly thrilling moment!

This scene shocked many people even more!
"So disheveled?"

"Jiang Chuan's actual combat ability is indeed not strong!"

At this moment, Wu Zhen's broadsword slashed horizontally and vertically, its blade flashing rapidly across the training ground. Each strike was powerful and heavy, and the force of the blade even stirred up the sand and gravel on the ground, resembling the heroic posture of a general fighting on the battlefield!

Jiang Chuan was forced to retreat repeatedly under the relentless attacks of the broadsword, seemingly unable to withstand them at all.

Looking at the scene, Chen Ming said, "Oh, he does have some skill."

Lin Ci nodded in agreement: "Indeed, this swordsmanship looks like it was carved out of a crowd, no wonder he was able to break the formation."

Li Yi remained silent, while Song Xi's eyes shone brightly.

Tian Tian chewed bubble gum, her hands in her pockets, seemingly feeling a little bored.

Wu Zhen was overjoyed; with his relentless attacks, he believed he had already won.
"Jiang Chuan! You've disappointed me so much!"

I thought you were my best rival!

"But it's so incredibly vulnerable!"

The people on the playground were surprised to hear this, not expecting Jiang Chuan to be defeated so quickly.

Wu Zhen's swordsmanship was relentless, with the subsequent blade trajectory resembling carving or wood engraving, extremely fast and with considerable force...

Indeed, this person is extraordinary for daring to challenge Jiang Chuan!

As everyone watched Wu Zhen's almost flawless attack, they felt a pang of sympathy for him.

After all, if he were in Jiang Chuan's position, he probably wouldn't have had a better way to deal with it.

In their eyes, Jiangchuan was indeed about to be defeated.

Seeing Jiang Chuan retreating again and again, Zhong Huahua timidly asked them, "Jiang Chuan... won't lose, will he?"

Recently, because of extra practice sessions in the evenings, Zhong Huahua and Jiang Chuan and his classmates have become increasingly close.

Faced with her question, Ai Zhe smiled and said, "You underestimate Jiang Chuan too much."

Tian Tian said, "He hasn't made a move yet."

Song Xi: "Hurry up and hit him!"

At that very moment... just when most people felt that Jiang Chuan was about to be defeated...

Amidst Wu Zhen's continuous flashes of sword light, a hand suddenly reached into the gaps between the sword strikes.

In that instant, it was as if time stood still.

Wu Zhen's arrogant and sharp gaze suddenly changed, and the onlookers widened their eyes in astonishment.

But in the blink of an eye, all that could be heard was:

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap echoed across the playground.

The chaotic discussion abruptly ceased.

Everyone was stunned.

what?
Wu Zhen was stunned, completely bewildered by the slap.

His swordsmanship was interrupted instantly. He stopped, covered his cheek, and stared at Jiang Chuan in horror, completely bewildered.

"you you you……"

Zhong Huahua looked at this scene with some confusion.

She wasn't particularly talented in close combat, and just like everyone else, she felt that Jiang Chuan was about to be defeated.

But what happened at that moment... was truly unbelievable to her.

Lin Ci explained, "He's worried about his sheath."

Zhong Huahua: "..."

Song Xi: "Well done! The only one who can defeat Jiang Chuan is...&*@!"

Her mouth was gagged by Li Yi to prevent her from saying anything she would regret for the rest of her life.

Just now, Jiang Chuan didn't expect Wu Zhen to rush over with his sword sheath removed. At first, he subconsciously raised his hand to block with his dagger, but the dagger sheath was still on. In order to avoid damaging the sheath, he changed his intention halfway and dodged to the side. This made him look a little embarrassed. However, he quickly regained his footing while constantly dodging.

With his flow state activated, he quickly found a gap in Wu Zhen's seemingly flawless swordsmanship...

They gave him a piece of their pocket.

Wu Zhen was stunned, but quickly realized that too many people were watching, and he immediately sneered:
"Good good!"

"Is this how you play it?!"

He held his breath and focused his mind, further enhancing his fighting spirit.

His swordsmanship was sharp, and the blade flashed everywhere. The sword he slashed out was even three times stronger!
Snapped!
Another slap.

"Ok?"

Wu Zhen's cheek swelled up; he felt it was an insult!

He was somewhat angry and swung his knife again!

when!
Snapped!
Jiang Chuan removed the scabbard, using the dagger to block Wu Zhen's longsword strike, and then swung his hand to deliver another powerful blow.

"..."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Is the gap so big?

I just thought Wu Zhen was going to win!

Even if Wu Zhen didn't win, everyone thought it would be a close contest, so how did it turn out like this?

Such a crushing defeat?

"What happened to Jiang Chuan just now?"

"To feign weakness?"

"But with such a disparity, is it really necessary to feign weakness to the enemy?"

"I understand... Jiang Chuan is taking every opponent seriously!"

Everyone exclaimed, "No wonder he's number one!"

Even with such strength, we will still go all out!

Tang Songming was somewhat surprised when he heard their words.

But they soon realized that they didn't understand how much Jiang Chuan cherished that dagger.

As for such a huge gap... Li Yi had actually guessed it long ago.

In sparring with Jiang Chuan, although Jiang Chuan was unlikely to win, Jiang Chuan was able to hold his own initially solely based on his reaction time and strength. Even disregarding Jiang Chuan's rapid improvement in dagger skills over this period, if he truly went all out, only instructors Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang in this training course could completely surpass Jiang Chuan in terms of raw skill.

Indeed, Jiang Chuan doesn't have much swordsmanship, and his combat skills are indeed lacking, but that's when he's not using the Mind Flow technique and his perception domain isn't activated.

Jiang Chuan's current formation-breaking speed is 3:44. Every second of this improvement is not just luck.

That was an absolute crushing defeat in terms of speed and agility!
Wu Zhen was stunned by the blow.

He has exhausted all means.

But his opponent easily broke through with a simple swing and slapped him in the face.

He felt a mixture of anger, confusion, and shame...

At this moment, the long sword pierced the ground, and he knelt on one knee, the buzzing in his ears lingering for a long time.

He stared at Jiang Chuan, his face filled with resentment.

Wu Zhen did not want to continue to suffer humiliation and planned to improve his skills for a future battle.

Although he hadn't expected to lose so badly, he had actually assessed the possibility of failure in his mind.

So he prepared a speech...

“s…”

Just as he was about to say something arrogant, Jiang Chuan asked a question in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"You're not going to say 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river'?"

Wu Zhen was stunned for a moment: "As expected of my nemesis!"

"You even know this?!"

Jiang Chuan smiled and asked:
"You're not going to run away, are you?"

Upon hearing this question, Wu Zhen suddenly understood the four words Jiang Chuan had said when he first pushed the door open again: "Don't you dare run away."

Although he's a bit dim-witted, he's not stupid. He knows he can't win, so why keep getting beaten up?
It's embarrassing, but as long as we win back the game, losing face now doesn't matter.

So, he was quite straightforward and wanted to admit defeat.

However, just as he was about to speak, Jiang Chuan's devilish whisper came again:

"This person is destined to leave their mark in the future."

"Do you really intend to just run away like this?"

"If we persevere now, we can also earn a reputation for being indomitable and never giving up."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu frowned and pondered deeply.

It's quite obvious that they've started to weigh things.

Although it was embarrassing, I tried my best, gritted my teeth, and persevered without giving up...

Yes, this will lay the groundwork for my future counterattack.

That sounds good too.

But he rubbed his face, still feeling some resistance.

But at this moment, Jiang Chuan continued:
