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

Chapter 158 He's practically cheating!
"49..."

"49 seconds!?"

The entire playground fell silent. Everyone was stunned when they heard the number, and it took them a moment to process it.

3 minutes and 29 seconds was a record that was difficult for them to surpass, but now...

Jiang Chuan broke the record in under a minute with his first move!?
too exaggerated!

Lin Ci was stunned. His mouth was slightly open, and he was so stiff that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Because he couldn't even understand Jiang Chuan's strategy for breaking the formation.

He was completely baffled; how could Jiang Chuan break the formation like this?
If you put yourself in that situation, you'd probably be finished the moment you were first surrounded.

How did Jiang Chuan manage to do that?!

……

Li Yi watched Jiang Chuan walk back. Although her expression remained calm, she was deeply shocked, and her vision became somewhat unfocused.

My mind went blank, and for a moment I didn't know what to think.

She also remembered that before she left, she had watched Jiang Chuan break through the formation many times.

At that time, Jiang Chuan tried his best every time, but it was extremely difficult to break through, even by just a few milliseconds.

This trip to Yanjing greatly enhanced everyone's abilities. Many developed new skills, such as her own sword energy, Lin Ci's refined power-wielding state, and Song Xi's increasingly pure control over her strength...

Li Yi originally thought that even if Jiang Chuan made another breakthrough, she could still barely keep up.

But judging from the current situation... I was wrong.

Jiangchuan's progress is far ahead of theirs.

As she was thinking this, Li Yi suddenly remembered what Lin Ci had said that morning.

"He has indeed made rapid progress while working alongside Jiang Chuan."

In the morning, I felt that this statement was very true, but I didn't think about it deeply.

But why did she progress so quickly when she was by Jiang Chuan's side? Only now did she understand...

It's because Jiang Chuan's improvement speed is too exaggerated, forcing those around him to go all out just to barely keep up.

A smile quickly appeared on Li Yi's lips.

Jiang Chuan won first place, which is certainly something to be happy about.

……

After the initial shock, Tian Tian recovered and patted Lin Ci on the shoulder:

"I knew it!"

"Don't believe him, he's pretending to be weak while actually being strong."

Lin Ci smiled bitterly and said:
"But I believe Jiang Chuan really hasn't been training during this period."

"I still believe it now."

"This second phase of training is no longer effective for Jiang Chuan."

"I originally thought we could close the gap this time, or even win..."

"But the reality is worlds apart from the ideal."

Upon hearing Lin Ci's words, Tang Songming snapped open his fan and, while fanning himself, said:
"Brother Jiang is truly a genius."

"We are probably far behind."

……

The once quiet playground slowly began to stir with conversation.

The students in Class One were discussing it in small groups:

"Forty-nine seconds?! That's outrageous!"

"I can only say that Jiang Chuan is truly worthy of his name; he has never let us down."

"Who cares what you expect? I just want to see Zheng Yang's expression after she finds out about Jiang Chuan's record!"

"Haha, if he knew our number one finished in 49 seconds, how long would his long face look on his face?"

Meanwhile, Class Two's excitement for Jiang Chuan was more straightforward.

"Awesome! Brother Chuan is awesome!"

"I knew that if Teacher Jiang could be a substitute teacher and give us pointers from time to time, then Teacher Jiang's level must be quite good!"

"At the beginning of the second stage, didn't Teacher Cao say that the record was 3 minutes and 20 seconds? Now it has been broken to 49 seconds. I wonder how many years it will take for someone to break this record?"

……

At this moment, Wu Zhen shook his head, as if he had just come to his senses from the shock.

As soon as he regained consciousness, he displayed extreme disbelief:
"Are you kidding me?!"

"He cheated! He cheated, didn't he!?"

"How is it possible to clear the level so easily!"

"How could it be 49 seconds!"

When he got off the bus yesterday, he wanted to have another match with Jiang Chuan, but Song Xi bumped into him and interrupted him.

But he immediately came up with a plan to give Jiang Chuan a little shock.

When Wu Zhen heard that Jiang Chuan had abstained from the competition that morning, he had already secretly come up with a plan.

He planned to perform casually during the morning assessment, and when Jiang Chuan's results came out in the afternoon, he would be number 31 in Class 1, which would give him the chance to be the last to perform and outshine Jiang Chuan!
When Wu Zhen was training in Yanjing, he also achieved a good result of 3 minutes and 34 seconds. He originally thought that he could beat Jiang Chuan and avenge the beating he suffered last time. But he didn't expect that Jiang Chuan would directly push the record down to 49 seconds!

Is this something that humans can do?

Wu Zhen felt his mentality was about to collapse, and he didn't even want to participate in the afternoon's assessment.

……

Not only were the students shocked, but even Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang felt that Jiang Chuan's speed in breaking the formation was a bit too exaggerated.

Cao Zhigang's gaze remained fixed on the phone screen, staring at the number, and he hesitated to call the next person to begin the assessment.

"Wouldn't those people at headquarters be utterly shocked?!"

"49 seconds... Jiang Chuan is too monstrous!"

"I wonder what the boss's expression will be when he hears this news about Jiang Chuan?"

Cao Zhiqiang was also amazed by Jiang Chuan's speed in breaking through the formation.

The students in Class 1 had already made great progress, but Jiang Chuan... Jiang Chuan was practically cheating.

Admittedly, crises can make people grow quickly, and Jiang Chuan has indeed encountered life-or-death crises time and time again...

Even so, this rate of improvement is truly outrageous. 49 seconds? This record... can anyone break it?
……

At this moment, Jiang Chuan had returned to the group.

He was immediately surrounded by the crowd.

Lin Ci spoke first; he was already puzzled, and now he couldn't wait to ask the question:
"How on earth is it done?"

Lin Ci's problem is actually a problem in everyone's heart.

Jiang Chuan recalled the feeling when he broke through the formation, and he didn't know how to describe it.

He began by saying, "It's about being able to roughly guess what the bronze statue will do."

"Based on this feeling, I took action."

Lin Ci frowned, deep in thought: "Feelings?"

Jiang Chuan didn't know how to explain it either.

But actually, there's no use in saying more. To achieve it, you first need to have a state of flow, and then you need to be able to come into contact with the Rotten Chessboard before you can have a chance to touch that kind of perception.

Even Jiang Chuan himself hadn't expected that the improvement brought about by the Flow II state would be so enormous.

In fact, Jiang Chuan maintained a constant state of flow during that period. That kind of training not only made him familiar with the flow state II, but also greatly improved Jiang Chuan's physical fitness and mental resilience.

After all, the flow state was originally Jiang Chuan's method to enhance his combat power, sharpening his senses and improving his speed and strength. Maintaining it regularly would keep his muscles taut and place a huge strain on his mental energy, naturally leading to a certain degree of enhancement.

The changes within oneself are often imperceptible to oneself. Furthermore, Jiang Chuan had not been involved in the battle during this period, so he had not noticed these changes.

Otherwise, even if they could have predicted the landing point of Li Guo'er's spiritual light shuttle while they were in the tomb, they would still have been helpless and unable to dodge it.

Tian Tian didn't seem to care much about how Jiang Chuan did it. While Lin Ci was deep in thought, she asked Jiang Chuan again:

"Hey tough guy, what's with that dagger of yours?"

"I think you knocked a bronze statue down out of thin air? How did you do that?"

She had barely finished speaking when Teacher Cao Zhigang's roar rang out at the same time:

"Class 1, Number 11! Tian Tian! Step forward!"

Tian Tian seemed a little impatient upon hearing this and immediately waved in the direction the sound came from:
"Teacher! I abstain!"

She was originally going to try again, but after seeing Jiang Chuan's record, she felt it was unnecessary.

So she abstained without hesitation.

Tian Tian looked at Jiang Chuan again, her impatience vanishing instantly, replaced by anticipation.

Jiang Chuan said, "After you left, I discovered that this dagger of mine can transmit mental energy."

Upon hearing this, Tian Tian became excited: "Can I take a look?"

Jiang Chuan pulled out a dagger and threw it at her, but Tian Tian caught it.

Although Tian Tian didn't have much talent in mental power, she could still use some mental power. After sensing a faint layer of mental power attached to the dagger, her eyes became even more excited.

"Oh! It really works!"

Song Xi, feeling quite intrigued, joined in.

Tang Songming remarked with considerable emotion, "I never imagined Brother Jiang would progress so rapidly..."

"I wonder how Brother Jiang has been these past few days?"

Liang Cheng also asked:
"Yes, it was the 23rd. Everyone from Class Two went to Qingshan that day. Something must have happened..."

"Brother Chuan, what exactly happened in Qingshan that day?"

Everyone is very interested in this topic.

Jiang Chuan thought for a moment and then said:

"That's a long story."

"Do you really want to listen?"

Everyone nodded.

Jiang Chuan was in a good mood at this moment, mainly because the pressure on his shoulders had finally disappeared.

The Tang Dynasty tomb incident is over, and Princess Anle's spirit has been completely annihilated, so there's nothing that can't be said.

Jiang Chuan sorted out his thoughts and then spoke:
"This all started a month ago with the disappearance of the safety supervisor of the Qingshan Tomb archaeological construction team..."

Tang Songming handed him the fan, saying it would help the narrator's performance.

Several people gathered around to listen to the story, and they all relaxed a lot, since the assessment was over for them.

Jiang Chuan's description of what happened on September 23rd was thoroughly enjoyed.

Hearing that Li Guo'er wanted to possess someone else's body, and hearing that Jiang Chuan had escaped with his life, everyone was horrified.

Ai Zhe couldn't help but exclaim, "You're really awesome, Brother Chuan!"

Chen Ming, unusually, agreed with Ai Zhe's opinion, nodding and saying, "Indeed impressive."

Lin Ci sighed: "I never imagined so many of us would sacrifice our lives during training..."

Tian Tian also sighed, "It's a good thing you're alive, otherwise Princess Anle would be sitting here today."

"The key is that we are still unaware of it."

Li Yi thought about the ins and outs of the story Jiang Chuan told her and felt that a perspective was missing.

She vaguely guessed what was going on, but didn't ask any further questions.

The lost perspective that Li Yi noticed was actually Zhong Huahua's.

Jiang Chuan intentionally removed Zhong Huahua from the story.

After all, Zhong Huahua's awakened memories are quite sensitive. If one day Zhong Huahua herself wants to talk about it, it won't be too late to add this perspective then.

Moreover, Jiang Chuan omitted many details, not just from Zhong Huahua's perspective.

For example, one's destiny, or one's dream world.

He never forgot Li Yu's serious words at that time.

Thinking of what Li Yu said, the grim situation ahead, and the many people who died in the Qingshan Tomb incident...

My mood, which had just started to lighten, became heavy again.

But this sense of heaviness quickly dissipated.

Because Jiang Chuan realized...

Two hundred thousand yuan, won't it arrive in the account soon?
