The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.
Chapter 566 Space Base
"There's only one test left, why shouldn't I give it a try!"
"Good! I believe in you, young man."
Looking at this young man, Jiang Chuan, Scarlet Witch felt a deep liking for him, not out of any romantic feelings, but rather out of admiration for the young man.
"You flatter me. If you hadn't used a body double, I might be nothing but bones by now."
Jiang Chuan gave an awkward smile and held the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand, maintaining his composure and displaying a heroic and dashing demeanor.
Seeing this, Scarlet Witch decided not to delay any longer and arranged a third challenge.
"I'll ask you a question, and you must answer me truthfully. This is my third pass test standard."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan's eyes became strong and determined. Although he had just gone through a battle and had no internal energy left, his indomitable spirit came from within.
"Ask away, I will definitely answer truthfully. I will not lie to please others or seek any benefit. I hate lying to others the most."
Scarlet Witch nodded, then became very serious. It seemed that this was a problem that Scarlet Witch took very seriously, otherwise she wouldn't have left it until the last stage.
Would you die for someone you love?
Jiang Chuan was stunned by this question; he never expected that the woman in front of him would ask such a question.
Jiang Chuan pursed his lips. He didn't have anyone he loved right now, but he did have someone he liked: Qing Yinyan, who had fought alongside him.
Jiang Chuan has a strong liking for Qing Yinyan, and Qing Yinyan is also full of love for Jiang Chuan. The two haven't even started to flirt yet, but because the battle is so intense, there's no time for them to be affectionate or tender.
Seeing Jiang Chuan's hesitation, Scarlet Witch didn't rush him to answer the question at hand.
Actually, the conditions for becoming her apprentice are quite demanding. First of all, the Scarlet Witch herself has to be pleasing to the eye. She is a very picky person, and her standards are very high. Ordinary people cannot meet her requirements.
Consider this as the entry ticket. Once you have the ticket, you also need an extremely powerful spiritual sea space. Only when this spiritual sea space is large enough can it have enough spiritual power to unleash the sealing techniques of a sealing master.
Finally, one must also have exceptional perseverance and ability to support them; otherwise, all efforts will be in vain. Therefore, the assessment standards are extremely stringent.
Even if you have a vast spiritual sea and outstanding strength, it's useless if the Scarlet Witch doesn't like you, because she values fate the most and believes that some things are destined.
As for the final challenge, it was a problem that Scarlet Witch herself created for herself.
Although she possesses great strength, she is a woman and is very emotional. Others assume she has a strong inner self, but in reality, she just wants to be a little girl who can express her emotions at any time.
Therefore, Scarlet Witch wasn't in a hurry for Jiang Chuan to answer this question now, because she knew it was just her own imagination, stemming from her past, so she went straight to the point.
"Alright, I won't make it difficult for you anymore. You're my apprentice now."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan immediately put down the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand, knelt on one knee, and wanted to bow to her.
"Master!" But the Scarlet Witch stopped him immediately.
"No need for that. Calling me 'Master' makes me sound too old and makes me seem less young. Just call me Teacher Hong."
Jiang Chuan looked up at his teacher, Ms. Hong, whose bright eyes and stunning beauty rivaled those of other young girls, leaving him completely mesmerized.
"Okay, Teacher Hong, now teach me the sealing technique!"
"There's no rush now. Let's fix this time-space base first."
Having said that, Scarlet Witch suddenly brought Jiang Chuan back to reality with a single gesture.
Jiang Chuan quickly got up, looked around, and said to Ling Juan, who looked completely bewildered.
"How long has it been? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lingjuan stared at Jiang Chuan with her small eyes and said.
"You got up as soon as I sat down!"
"Holy crap! I just sat down? I was meditating when I took the Scarlet Witch as my master."
The spirit scroll was also baffling, and it didn't know much either, so the two of them hurriedly got up.
A scroll appeared in Jiang Chuan's hand without his noticing. It was the scroll given to him by the Scarlet Witch, but it no longer carried the Scarlet Witch's aura.
It seems that Scarlet Witch's stand-in won't last much longer. Now that they've left, Jiang Chuan will have to rely on himself.
Ling Juan sat on Jiang Chuan's shoulder again, and suddenly sensed something was wrong. How come this kid has become stronger again? And it's not a huge increase in strength, but rather that Ling Juan has developed a new branch of spiritual power.
"You're getting stronger again!"
“Ling Juan, I’ll explain it to you later. Right now, we need to repair the sealing platform.”
After saying that, Jiang Chuan raised his hand and lifted the scroll. The scroll floated in the sky, and as Jiang Chuan chanted the incantation given by the Scarlet Witch, the scroll emitted a faint red light, which slowly spread to the entire sealing platform.
Jiang Chuan's powerful spiritual sea was able to demonstrate its advantages at this moment. The benefits of his meticulous thinking meant that he could easily create even the most intricate patterns.
In fact, all of these were carved by the Spirit Sea. It is a carving knife that can carve out these patterns, and after carving, it can form a prototype of the sealing technique.
Thirty seconds later, Jiang Chuan suddenly opened his eyes. This was the first time he had used a simple sealing technique, also known as a repair technique, to make the damaged sealing platform work again.
This is completely different from creating a powerful sealing platform. The more powerful the sealing master, the more significant the effect of the sealing platform, and the more dangerous and terrifying the sealed object becomes.
Jiang Chuan has only just grasped the basics of sealing techniques, how could he possibly create a sealing platform? This sealing platform was made by a mid-level sealing master, and in the Scarlet Witch's eyes, it's just trash.
So there's absolutely no need for Scarlet Witch to come here specifically to repair it; it's making a mountain out of a molehill, like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Seeing that the task was completed, Jiang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, and Ling Juan wiped away her sweat, fearing that something unexpected might have happened. She had no idea what had just happened during Jiang Chuan's meditation.
"The Scarlet Witch just took you as her apprentice like that?"
"Yes, I felt like at least half a day had passed during my meditation, but it turned out to be only a few minutes."
"You didn't happen to have some kind of leverage over Scarlet Witch, did you? How could you become her apprentice?"
Jiang Chuan was puzzled by Ling Juan's words and scratched his head to ask.
"Tell me what happened."
Ling Juan then slowly explained to Jiang Chuan what had happened, including the cause and effect.
"The Scarlet Witch was exceptionally gifted from a young age, becoming a Sealer at a young age, even surpassing the most powerful Sealer of the time. She also had a younger brother, but unfortunately, her family was very weak and had no background. Her brother died in some accident, causing the Scarlet Witch's personality to change drastically. As for why her abilities are now at the bottom, I don't know either." Jiang Chuan looked at Ling Juan's serious expression and seemed to be deep in thought himself. It seemed that his Scarlet Witch teacher was also a person with many stories. He suddenly chuckled and looked at Ling Juan.
"Tell me, how old is Scarlet Witch? I feel like she's about my age!"
"She was probably in her sixties! That's how I remember her."
Jiang Chuan was stunned. He had thought his teacher was no older than forty, but he never expected him to be over sixty.
Ling Juan didn't give Jiang Chuan a friendly look, and said with her arms crossed.
"Don't you dare try anything with her, kid. One beam of light from her could kill you, leaving you nothing but ashes."
Jiang Chuan blushed slightly and started gesturing wildly.
"What? She's my teacher. I never even considered dating her. But she just looks so much like an older sister."
Ling Juan rolled her eyes at him. This kid usually didn't have any good intentions. He had even seduced Qing Yinyan, turning her into a pretty girl.
If Qing Yinyan didn't have the mission of protecting Qing City, Jiang Chuan would have been lured away by that little girl. That's Jiang Chuan's charm, or you could say his personal charisma.
As they talked, the two returned to District 11. The Ghost Face Plague variants in the area were gone; the Scarlet Witch must have easily dealt with them by casting a small sealing spell to make it easier for Jiang Chuan to come over.
There is a large library in District 11. Jiang Chuan vaguely sensed that the Scarlet Witch was there, because that blood-red aura was unforgettable in Jiang Chuan's mind, as if it had left an imprint.
"Let's go! To that library, I can sense that Scarlet Witch is there."
As soon as he opened the door, Jiang Chuan was stunned by the scene before him. This library didn't look like a typical library; it was more like a museum.
Many of the things inside were things Jiang Chuan had never seen before, including all sorts of rare and precious items, specimens of deformed animals, various kinds of dinosaur specimens, and some agate gemstones.
Are these all the collections of powerful individuals? And no one is stopping them. It seems the Scarlet Witch is here, waiting for their arrival.
"You guys are here!"
A whiff of perfume wafted over, and although it wasn't the first time Jiang Chuan had smelled it, he still found it extremely pungent and coughed twice.
"Teacher Hong, here comes my spirit scroll."
The Scarlet Witch appeared behind them without them noticing, as if there were a secret passage or mechanism behind them.
Jiang Chuan quickly bowed to the Scarlet Witch.
"Hello, Teacher Hong!"
"No need for formalities. Is this Ling Juan?"
Scarlet Witch raised a finger, looking at the little Spirit Scroll with a playful expression. The Spirit Scroll felt a little uncomfortable being pointed at like that and could only nod.
"Haha~ Don't be shy. You are my apprentice's good friend, so you are a guest. Your presence here means we are destined to meet."
After saying that, Scarlet Witch's pupils suddenly widened as she looked at Spirit Scroll.
Ling Juan was caught off guard by the sudden attack on her pupils, and immediately entered an illusion, where she fainted.
Jiang Chuan quickly picked up the spirit scroll, laid it flat, and placed it on the chair next to him. Since his master did this, he must have his reasons.
Scarlet Witch glanced at Jiang Chuan and asked calmly.
Aren't you afraid I might do something to your friends?
Jiang Chuan said resolutely.
"Of course not, because with our strength, you don't need to play any tricks at all, so I guess you want to talk to me alone."
The Scarlet Witch laughed heartily again. Although this was the second time Jiang Chuan had seen the Scarlet Witch in person, he was still attracted by her seductive laughter and charming face.
"What a clever little boy! It seems I can't hide anything from you. Actually, your friend is perfectly fine. I noticed that he has a little bit of memory loss, which I would say is like opening up his meridians."
Jiang Chuan remembered that Ling Juan had once told him that its memories were not completely complete, and how to solve the problem was beyond Jiang Chuan's ability to solve.
It seemed that her master had this ability. At this moment, the Scarlet Witch smiled faintly, walked forward, and gestured for Jiang Chuan to follow.
So Jiang Chuan followed the Scarlet Witch step by step toward the room ahead, just like a child.
This room was Scarlet Witch's boudoir. Jiang Chuan hesitated at the door, afraid that it would be impolite to enter someone else's room, especially a girl's. It wouldn't be appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together.
"Come in, I'm going to show you something, but it's not what you think."
Scarlet Witch also shrugged, pretending to be indifferent and helpless.
It seems Jiang Chuan misunderstood her, but it's nothing serious. What's there for a man to be shy about? Girls aren't shy at all. Wait, the woman in front of him is sixty years old.
After Jiang Chuan went inside, he didn't dare to look around and kept his head down. When the Scarlet Witch saw this, she made him look around, otherwise she really would do something improper with him.
Scarlet Witch took out a small wooden box. The box was very old and plain, just an ordinary wooden box with a faint fragrance.
Jiang Chuan asked, puzzled.
"Teacher Hong, what is this wooden box?"
“This wooden box was left to me by my younger brother. You look just like my younger brother.”
The Scarlet Witch no longer wore the playful expression she had before; instead, her face was filled with sadness and regret, as if she were recalling the unhappy events of that time.
Jiang Chuan also knew the pain of separation and death, so he gently comforted her.
"Don't be sad, Teacher Hong. If you don't mind, I can be your younger brother."
Jiang Chuan didn't know why he did this, and he regretted it as soon as he said it. How could such a powerful sealing master let him be his younger brother? Besides, he was just an apprentice, and he had no right to interfere in her family affairs.
But that wasn't the case at all. Scarlet Witch burst into laughter through her tears, having not been amused by something so sad in a long time.
"You little rascal, do you want to be my little brother?"
Jiang Chuan was taken aback by the sudden question, and his gaze involuntarily shifted away from the Scarlet Witch.
"I want to...no, no, no...I don't want to...but I still want to!" Jiang Chuan stammered, this was the first time he had encountered such an unexpected situation. (End of Chapter)
