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

Chapter 350 Tonight I'll Sleep with My Brother
Unable to suppress his anger any longer, Lin Haoran unleashed his late-stage Yellow Rank spiritual power, which enveloped the entire inn and pointed directly at Jiang Chuan.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, since that's the case, I'll have a match with Brother Jiang Chuan. If you can beat me, I'll stop bothering Miss Liu Xu. If I lose, don't blame me for being impolite."

Seeing this, Liu Xu's pretty face showed a hint of worry. She looked at Jiang Chuan with pleading in her eyes.

Although Jiang Chuan was quite helpless about this unreasonable competition, in order not to embarrass Liu Xu and to save face, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

"Young Master Lin, since you insist on the contest, I have no choice but to oblige."

"But before that, I hope everything can be fair and just. After all, we are working towards the same goal, so why waste time and energy on internal conflicts?"

Jiang Chuan's calm words echoed in the inn, causing everyone to hold their breath and wait for the next contest.

"Ha, good!" Lin Haoran sneered. He was going to get beaten up at his own doorstep?
He turned to look at Liu Xu, "Liu Xu, just you wait! I'm going to win this match!"

After saying that, the two went to the martial arts arena in the town.

A crowd of onlookers had begun to slowly gather around the arena, whispering amongst themselves and speculating about the outcome.

"I heard that the young master of the Lin family has the cultivation of the late Yellow Rank. This young man looks to be only about twenty years old. I don't know his background. How could he possibly be a match for him?"

"But could Miss Liuxu's judgment be wrong? It's said that he is Miss Liuxu's Daoist partner!"

"What? Miss Liu actually became his Daoist partner? This match is going to be interesting! I'm afraid the young master of the Liu family won't hold back."

"Yes, everyone knows that the young master of the Liu family has been pursuing this young lady of the Liu family for many years... In that case, this battle is going to be interesting!"

……

On the dueling field, Jiang Chuan and Lin Haoran stood facing each other, the atmosphere extremely tense.

Lin Haoran looked at Jiang Chuan in front of him and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. How could you possibly defeat me, a dignified late-stage Yellow Rank expert?

However, he still maintained a facade of composure, saying calmly, "Brother, swords have no eyes. If anything goes wrong during a sparring match, you will have to take responsibility for it yourself."

Jiang Chuan nodded slightly; it has always been this way.

Lin Haoran didn't say anything more. He took the initiative and launched a fierce attack straight at Jiang Chuan!
The hand transformed into a tiger and instantly rushed towards Jiang Chuan.

However, Jiang Chuan moved with the agility of a swallow, nimbly dodging the attack. The Dragon Roar sword at his waist was suddenly drawn and appeared in Jiang Chuan's hand. However, Jiang Chuan did not pour all his spiritual power into it at this time. To outsiders, the Dragon Roar sword was just a stone sword.

"This person actually used a stone sword to fight against the young master of the Lin family? He probably doesn't even consider the young master of the Lin family a match!"

"Maybe this is someone else's weapon? There are all kinds of weapons now, so stone swords aren't unusual."

Seeing this, Lin Haoran's anger surged. How dare you insult me ​​with a stone sword? I'll make you pay today!

After saying that, Lin Haoran attacked again, each move a deadly strike, intending to kill Jiang Chuan.

But Jiang Chuan remained in control, defusing Lin Haoran's attacks perfectly each time and occasionally launching counterattacks, leaving Lin Haoran defenseless.

Faced with Lin Haoran's sudden change, Jiang Chuan raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Lin Haoran had already activated the Lin family's unique skill - Tiger Transformation.

His entire body was surging with powerful spiritual energy at the late Yellow Rank, like a tiger descending a mountain, his aura terrifying.

"Hmph, brat, today I'll let you experience the renowned 'Tiger's Roar and Wind' technique of my Lin family!"

A resolute and cold light flashed in Lin Haoran's eyes, a burning flame that carried the glory of his family and his own pride.

He roared and charged forward like a tiger descending a mountain, his figure transforming into a swift shadow as he approached Jiang Chuan with astonishing speed.

He clenched his fists, and a powerful force gathered in his palm.

The tiger claws, seemingly real, swung through the air, tearing apart the surrounding air and creating howling whirlwinds, like the roar of thousands of tigers, sweeping across the river with an aura of destruction.

Jiang Chuan, however, maintained his unique calmness and composure.

Although the Dragon Roar in his hand was simple and unadorned, it seemed to have come alive in his hands.

Faced with Lin Haoran's overwhelming attack, he remained calm and composed, handling the situation with ease. Every sword strike was perfectly timed, as fluid as flowing water, precisely deflecting the storm-like onslaught.

Every movement he made seemed perfectly natural, with nothing superfluous. Man and sword seemed to merge into one, forming an elegant yet resilient picture.

Even when faced with Lin Haoran's almost overwhelming and fierce offensive, he was still able to deal with it calmly and with ease, as if it were all within his expectations.

Liu Xu, who was watching the game from the sidelines, witnessed this scene, and the worry on her face was gradually replaced by shock.

She stared intently at the calm figure in the eye of the storm, her mind filled with questions: "Just who is Jiang Chuan, and how does he possess such unfathomable strength?"

Seeing that Jiang Chuan easily neutralized his wave after wave of fierce attacks, Lin Haoran's anxiety burned like a raging fire.

He gritted his teeth and once again mobilized the spiritual power in every inch of his body, further enhancing the power of the Tiger Transformation, to the point that the entire arena seemed to tremble because of his aura.

"Break it for me!"

Lin Haoran roared, concentrating all his strength into a single point, and unleashed a full-force attack that could determine life or death.

Its power was like a tiger hunting its prey, locking onto Jiangchuan's vital points and attacking swiftly and mercilessly.

Faced with this breathtaking attack, Jiang Chuan's eyes instantly sharpened, and the stone sword in his hand seemed to respond to his will, instantly emitting a faint silver light.

He moved with ghostly speed, skillfully avoiding Lin Haoran's thunderous attack.

Immediately afterwards, the stone sword in his hand transformed into a silver lightning bolt, its counterattack so fast that it was impossible to catch, and it pierced straight towards Lin Haoran.

"Ding--"

A crisp metallic clang echoed through the arena as the stone sword clashed violently with Lin Haoran's tiger claws, sparking countless sparks.

The onlookers held their breath, their eyes wide, not daring to miss a single detail.

"Did you see that? That stone sword...it seemed to be glowing just now?"

A bystander gasped in a low voice, his tone filled with disbelief.

"Impossible! How could a stone sword glow?"

Another audience member retorted, but their face was equally filled with shock.

Lin Haoran was forced back by Jiang Chuan's counterattack, the force of his tiger claw attack completely neutralized by the seemingly ordinary stone sword. His face was ashen as he stared at Jiang Chuan in disbelief, inwardly lamenting, "How is this possible? How can this kid possess such profound internal strength and superb swordsmanship?"

Jiang Chuan did not press his advantage, but smiled faintly, his eyes revealing confidence and composure: "Young Master Lin, your Tiger Roar and Wind Sound are indeed powerful, but unfortunately they are too forceful and easily broken. You have failed to grasp the soft power contained within them."

His words were full of unique insights into the Lin family's unique skills, which made everyone present turn their heads.

Liu Xu stared nervously at Jiang Chuan, her beautiful eyes sparkling with curiosity: "How did he do that? Could there really be some secret about that stone sword?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Haoran felt even more indignant. He endured the pain and once again channeled his spiritual power, intending to fight to the death with all his might.

"Jiang Chuan, today it's either you or me who dies!"

Lin Haoran roared, his spiritual power surging wildly, as he prepared to unleash an even more powerful attack.

Jiang Chuan responded calmly, his stone sword pointing diagonally at the ground, the tip of the sword trembling slightly, as if an invisible force was gathering.

He looked at Lin Haoran with a mixture of challenge and pity in his eyes: "Young Master Lin, the outcome is not yet decided, why be in such a hurry to succeed?"

As Jiang Chuan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the arena reached an unprecedented level of tension.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the climax of the duel, while also wondering what kind of amazing reversal this seemingly ordinary stone sword would bring them.

"Then let me see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!" Lin Haoran roared and lunged at Jiang Chuan once more.

Just as Lin Haoran launched his full-scale attack, the surrounding crowd began to discuss among themselves, their words filled with amazement and curiosity about Jiang Chuan's strength.

"Look at Jiang Chuan, this young man is not only exceptionally skilled, but his composure and wisdom when facing enemies are simply breathtaking!"

An elderly man with white hair stroked his beard, his face full of praise and admiration.

"Indeed, he was able to easily deflect Lin Haoran's Tiger Roar Wind and even criticize the shortcomings of the opponent's moves. Such insight and strength are truly rare."

The young man next to him couldn't help but chime in.

In the crowd, a girl covered her mouth and looked at Jiang Chuan with admiration in her eyes. "He is like a hero in a martial arts novel. He can remain calm in the face of any predicament. And that stone sword must be hiding some secret."

Lin Haoran was now completely immersed in anger and resentment. His spiritual power surged throughout his body, like a raging tiger, charging towards Jiang Chuan without regard for anything.

However, Jiang Chuan remained calm, and the stone sword gleamed with a mysterious silver light in the sunlight.

"It seems you still don't understand."

Jiang Chuan smiled lightly, his figure appearing and disappearing under Lin Haoran's offensive, like duckweed on the water, no matter how fierce the wind and rain, it could never touch his core.

Suddenly, Jiang Chuan stopped in his tracks, and the stone sword thrust forward with a fierce thud. In that instant, the sword shone with a brilliant silver light, as if it had transformed into a leaping silver dragon, heading straight for Lin Haoran.

Upon seeing this, Lin Haoran instinctively channeled all his spiritual power to try and block the sword. However, the sword light pierced through his defenses with unstoppable force.

"boom--"

Lin Haoran crashed to the ground, spitting blood, and stared at Jiang Chuan in shock.

"What...what's going on?"

Lin Haoran struggled to get up, his gaze towards Jiang Chuan filled with fear and confusion.

Jiang Chuan sheathed his sword and said calmly, "Young Master Lin, martial arts are not just about having immense strength, but also about understanding its essence and mastering the power of heaven and earth. You are obsessed with increasing your strength, but you have neglected the fundamentals of martial arts."

The crowd erupted in uproar, with various opinions swirling around them. Some were shocked by Jiang Chuan's strength, while others lamented Lin Haoran's defeat.

"This young man has actually mastered a stone sword to an unparalleled degree. His skill is probably unmatched even by many older generation masters."

An elderly man with a long, flowing beard sighed deeply, and those around him nodded in agreement.

"Who exactly is Jiang Chuan's master?"

In the crowd, a burly man scratched his head, and his puzzled voice resonated with many others.

Just then, from the Lin family elders behind Lin Haoran, an old man with a serious expression stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Chuan, you do have some ability, but today's matter has probably offended the dignity of my Lin family. This matter will not be left unresolved."

Jiang Chuan smiled calmly, his brows revealing fearlessness and determination: "Senior Lin, in the face of martial arts, all grudges should be resolved through fair duels. Today, I simply want to tell Young Master Lin that on the path of cultivation, temperament and wisdom are equally important."

As he spoke, he turned to Lin Haoran, a hint of concern flashing in his eyes: "Young Master Lin, I hope you can learn something from this, rather than getting caught up in the outcome of a moment's victory or defeat."

Lin Haoran stared at Jiang Chuan, his expression complex and hard to decipher.

A moment later, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gritted his teeth, saying, "Jiang Chuan, you have indeed opened my eyes, but that doesn't mean I'll admit defeat. One day, I will definitely get my revenge!"

Jiang Chuan nodded, without giving a direct response. Instead, he turned to face the onlookers and said loudly, "Fellow practitioners, today's battle is merely for friendly exchange. I hope that everyone will refrain from causing any disputes because of this."

Lin Haoran slowly stood up and said to Jiang Chuan, "I lost. I will not bother Liu Xu again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Haoran's figure gradually disappeared into the crowd, leaving behind a martial arts arena filled with discussion.

"Who exactly is this kid? What secrets does that stone sword hold?" Such questions kept rising from the crowd.

"Hey, didn't you guys notice? Every time he makes a move, that stone sword emits a strange light. Could it really be something magical?" a young martial artist guessed excitedly.

"No matter what, I think Jiang Chuan has a bright future. He will probably have a place in the martial arts world in the future," an old man with a long history sighed, stroking his beard.

At this moment, the topic of Jiang Chuan and Shi Jian remained highly popular in the martial arts arena, and Lin Haoran's defeat also made people re-examine this young master of the Lin family who was usually in the spotlight.

As the sun sets, its afterglow spills onto the lingering shadows of the arena, foreshadowing the coming of a new era.

"Jiang Chuan, I'm starting to get a little curious about you..."

After everyone had left the arena, Liu Xu spoke earnestly to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan simply smiled faintly, "Curious? Then stay at the same inn as me tonight... and I'll tell you about my strange background?"

As she finished speaking, Liu Xu's face flushed. Tonight? So soon...

Jiang Chuan suddenly found the woman in front of him quite interesting. Just as he was about to say that he was joking, he saw Liu Xu gently take Jiang Chuan's hand.

"Then, tonight, Liuxu will sleep with her brother..."
