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

The fairy Coco pointed at Jiang Chuan, and the wine spirit's gaze followed, seeing the young man who was still engrossed in drinking. A hint of doubt flashed in its eyes, but it quickly understood that Jiang Chuan had been providing power to the fairy Coco all along.

"You... you..."

The voice of the wine spirit grew weak; it couldn't believe that it had been defeated by a novice elf and a human working together.

Coco the elf sighed softly, "I want you to understand something now: true power doesn't come from alcohol, but from within."

When the Soul of Wine conceded defeat, Jiang Chuan was still drinking. He had already drunk himself into a stupor, and finally, with Jason's intervention, he stopped drinking.

"You won, you won." Jensen shook Jiang Chuan's body, trying to wake him up from his numb nerves.

"Jiang Chuan, look at me. I'm Jian Sen. You've already drunk too much. You can't drink anymore." Jian Sen's voice was full of concern.

Jiang Chuan opened his eyes groggily, looked at Jian Sen, and asked with a faint smile, "Did I win? Did I win?"

Jensen nodded, and Jiang Chuan's face showed a satisfied smile. He leaned on Jensen's shoulder, breathing heavily. Jensen gently patted his back to help him relax.

"Yes, you win."

"But Jiang Chuan, you also need to take care of your health."

“You can’t keep drinking like this, you’ll drink yourself to death,” Jason said softly.

Upon hearing Jian Sen's words, Jiang Chuan's lips curled up into a childlike smile. "I know, I know, I just wanted to prove to you that I'm still pretty good at drinking."

Jensen gave a wry smile. Was Jiang Chuan really drunk?

Jiang Chuan wouldn't get so drunk for no reason; he had his own plans. He discovered that the elements in the alcohol resonated with the supreme mythical sword technique he was practicing when they entered his body.

"Drunken Sword." Jiang Chuan summoned the Dragon's Roar Sword, preparing to infuse his drunkenness into the sword.

A wave of intoxication washed over him.

Jiang Chuan felt as light as the wind.

Yet his mind was remarkably clear.

He gripped the hilt of the sword, feeling as if the Dragon's Roar Sword also sensed his emotions, trembling slightly as if responding to his call.

Jiang Chuan closed his eyes, his body and mind becoming one with the sword.

His consciousness began to blur, but his sense of the sword became increasingly clear.

A mixture of intoxication and sword intent.

It seemed to create a wonderful melody.

He felt his body enveloped in this intoxication, every cell enjoying this unique pleasure.

Suddenly, he felt a powerful force surging from the sword.

It flowed into his body.

This force is full of vitality and energy.

It was as if it were the power of nature, strong and pure.

Jiang Chuan felt his body begin to change; his meridians seemed to be widening, and every pore was breathing.

His swordsmanship also began to change. Each strike was filled with intoxication and contained powerful force. His swordsmanship became freer and more agile, as if it were completely integrated with his heart. His swordsmanship became sharper, and each strike seemed to be able to tear the air apart.

Jiang Chuan opened his eyes, which shone with a strong light, as if they could see through everything. He wielded the Dragon Roar Sword, its light like a rainbow. Each strike was filled with intoxication and power. His swordsmanship had become more skillful and free, as if it had become one with his body.

"Impressive! Impressive!" Jason exclaimed. "To be able to infuse the sword with the essence of drunkenness, such comprehension is comparable to that of a prodigy."

Jiang Chuan retrieved the Dragon Roar Sword, his drunkenness gone, and said, "I never do anything that is detrimental to myself."

Upon hearing this, Jensen smiled slightly. His eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Jiang Chuan and said slowly, "Your swordsmanship has reached a completely new level, which is truly amazing. But what you said makes me look at you in a new light. In this world, it is not easy to be able to clearly understand oneself and stick to one's principles."

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly, knowing that Jian Sen was telling the truth.

But he was not proud of it.

He was just doing what he thought was right, that's all.

"Jiang Chuan, your swordsmanship has surpassed the comprehension of ordinary people."

"Your comprehension is truly astonishing."

"But I believe you have a long way to go."

“You still have so much to learn and understand.” Jason looked at Jiang Chuan, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Jiang Chuan nodded; Jensen was telling the truth.

In this world, whether it's swordsmanship or life, there are no shortcuts. Only through continuous learning and understanding can one reach a higher level.

"So, how are you going to break the magic array Qing Yinyan has set up?" Jian Sen looked at Jiang Chuan with a mocking gaze. Although Jiang Chuan's behavior regarding alcohol and swordsmanship had made him feel like his worldview was collapsing, he remained skeptical about Jiang Chuan's ability to break the magic array. He thought that everyone only had one day, and if Jiang Chuan devoted all his energy to cultivation, he wouldn't have time to study the magic array.

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly, a smile that contained both confidence and a hint of helplessness.

He knew Jason's doubts, but he also knew he had to give a satisfactory answer.

Some things don't require time; they require understanding. If your understanding is lacking, no amount of time will help.

"Magic arrays are like complex puzzles."

"It takes patience and wisdom to solve this problem."

"Although I haven't been cultivating for long, I'm quite familiar with magic arrays."

“I have my own understanding and exploration,” Jiang Chuan said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Jensen raised an eyebrow slightly. He looked at Jiang Chuan with disbelief in his eyes, but also a hint of curiosity.

"Jiang Chuan, do you know what the core of the magic array is?" Jian Sen asked, his voice tinged with provocation.

Jiang Chuan looked at Jian Sen, then gently shook his head.

“I don’t know, but I can break the magic array in front of me without brute force,” Jiang Chuan said.

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Jensen frowned slightly. He did not believe that Jiang Chuan could break the magic array.

The core of a magic array is the careful design of the caster.

Used to control the operation and power release of the entire magic circle.

Without knowing the core of the magic array, it is impossible to effectively break it.

Jiang Chuan observed Jian Sen's reaction and knew that Jian Sen did not believe him, but he did not care.

He closed his eyes and began to sense the operating principles of the magic array. His fingers gently traced patterns in the air, as if he were tracing something.

Jensen watched Jiang Chuan's actions.

I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He knew that although Jiang Chuan was young, his understanding was not to be underestimated.

They decided to give Jiang Chuan a chance to prove himself and see if he could really break the magic array.

Jiang Chuan's movements became faster and faster, and the traces his fingers left in the air became more and more complex. Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing, opened his eyes, and looked at Jian Sen.

"The core of the magic array lies in this location." "If this location is destroyed, the entire magic array will become ineffective." Jiang Chuan pointed to the center of the magic array.

Jensen looked at the location Jiang Chuan pointed out and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

The location Jiang Chuan described was the core of the magic array, and he didn't know how Jiang Chuan had found it.

Is Jiang Chuan truly the chosen one?
“Alright, let’s see if you can really break this magic circle,” Jensen said in a deep voice.

Jiang Chuan slowly walked towards the center of the magic array. With each step he took on the array, the patterns on it would change, confusing Jiang Chuan and making it impossible for him to know the location of the array's core.

Jiang Chuan's gaze remained firm and unmoved.

To find the core of the formation, one must see through these illusions.

He began to focus intently on the patterns on the magic circle, trying to find the rules within them.

As Jiang Chuan ventured deeper, the patterns of the magic array became increasingly complex, like a cunning fox constantly changing its appearance, trying to confuse him. However, Jiang Chuan was not fooled; instead, he became more determined with each setback. He began to try to use his mental power to sense the fluctuations of the magic array, attempting to find clues within it.

As Jiang Chuan was still pondering the magic array pattern, a sound of a mechanism being triggered reached his ears. He looked up and saw a sharp arrow with wisps of black energy wrapped around its surface, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound.

Jiang Chuan's heart tightened. He knew that the black aura attached to the arrow indicated that it was not an ordinary weapon, but an attack containing dark magic. He quickly dodged, but the arrow seemed to have a mind of its own, changed direction, and shot at him again.

what's the situation?
Jiang Chuan was puzzled, his eyes burning with curiosity as he stared intently at the arrow, trying to find the difference.

The arrow flew at an extremely high speed in the air.

But Jiang Chuan's gaze seemed to pierce through time and space; his eyes were fixed on the arrow, as if he were observing a tiny object.

Jiang Chuan took a step back and stepped onto a square of the magic circle. The arrow began to change its attack direction and shot towards Jensen.

Jensen frowned and asked, "What's going on?" As he spoke, he dodged the arrow attack, but the arrow pierced into the crevice in the rock.

When Jian Sen's words reached Jiang Chuan's ears, it was like a sudden awakening. His gaze was fixed on the magic array beneath his feet. This magic array was constructed using the four characters "what situation" as its basis. To break it, he needed to understand the role these four characters played within the magic array.

Jiang Chuan's mind began to race.

He tried to understand the construction principle of this magic circle.

A magic circle is usually composed of various elements and symbols, and there is a certain relationship between these elements and symbols.

To break this magic circle, we must find this connection.

This connection refers to the subtle pattern implied in the four characters "what situation".

He observed each symbol in the magic circle, trying to find the pattern between them.

Suddenly, he discovered an important clue.

The four large characters in the magic circle seem to describe a situation that is closely related to the construction of the magic circle.

Jiang Chuan began to analyze the role of these four characters in the magic array.

He speculated that these four characters might represent the direction of energy flow or a mode of energy transformation.

If we can understand the laws governing this energy flow, it may be possible to find a way to break the magic array.

Suddenly, Jiang Chuan saw characters appear on the edge of the magic circle. It was the character "情" (qing, meaning love/emotion). He only needed to find the three characters "什么" (shen, meaning what/what) and "况" (kuang, meaning situation) to break the magic circle that Jian Sen thought was impeccable.

He began to search carefully along the edge of the magic circle, examining each spot one by one, afraid of missing any detail.

Finally, in a corner of the magic circle.

Jiang Chuan discovered two words.

Immediately afterwards, he found the character "况" on the other side of the magic circle.

Just as Jiang Chuan was about to rejoice, he discovered that the first "love" character he had looked for had disappeared.

What's going on? Jiang Chuan's heart skipped a beat.

His gaze fell on a tiny vortex in the center of the magic circle.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered a faintly visible character for "love" at the center of the vortex.

He immediately realized that this vortex was the key to the magic array.

Jiang Chuan rushed into the whirlpool without hesitation and gently touched it with his hand.

Instantly, the magic array shone brightly.

The magic array beneath Jiang Chuan's feet made a cracking sound.

The sound was like porcelain shattering, crisp and chilling.

The light from the magic circle instantly intensified, as if it would ignite the entire space.

Jiang Chuan felt a powerful force surging out from the magic array. The force was as vast as the sea, making him feel incredibly small.

It was as if the surrounding air had been sucked away.

Jiang Chuan felt his breath catch in his throat.

His body was involuntarily propelled forward by that force.

His palms gripped the edge of the magic circle tightly, his fingertips turning white from the force, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, refusing to give up.

"Run! The magic circle is about to explode!" Seeing the situation was dire, Jensen hid behind a boulder.

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful energy surge erupted from the magic array.

Jiang Chuan felt as if he were being swallowed up by a tremendous force.

His entire body was violently thrown into the air.

He tumbled through the air, crashing against the surrounding air, and groaned in pain.

"Master, how could you forget about me?" Taotie revealed its true form, opening its giant mouth to swallow all the gas that erupted into its belly.

Within a few breaths, the shockwaves generated by the explosion of the magic array were completely devoured by the gluttonous beast.

Jiang Chuan made a quick adjustment and looked up at the ruins of the magic array. There was a child who looked exactly like Ling Juan. His body was bound by chains and he could not move at all. Jiang Chuan moved to his side and used his right palm to break the chains binding Ling Juan's body.

"Who are you? Why did you save me?" Ling Juan asked, not recognizing Jiang Chuan.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan didn't want to waste any more words with it, so he raised his hand, knocked it unconscious, and put it in his pocket.

After finishing, Jiang Chuan walked to Jian Sen's side, ready to speak, but heard: "As the guardian general of the Qingyun Sect, you allowed Jiang Chuan to break the formation. What is your punishment?"

Jiang Chuan felt a chill just from hearing the voice; it was a woman's voice.

From the dark basement, a woman with a face as beautiful as the morning sun reflecting off snow emerged slowly.

This woman was none other than Qing Yinyan, the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect.

"Jiang Chuan, we meet again." Qing Yinyan's white cheeks twitched slightly.

"Haha..." Jiang Chuan laughed loudly, "Do you want our story to end here?"

Qing Yinyan frowned, her figure vanished like a ghost, and reappeared behind Jiang Chuan.

Without a second thought, Jiang Chuan activated his Thunderous Flash skill to switch positions, simultaneously summoning the Dragon Roar Sword. Thunderous power condensed into armor enveloping his entire body; Jiang Chuan completed this entire process in an instant. (End of Chapter)
