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

Ling Juan jumped up excitedly, leaping a meter in one bound. She was a hundred times more agile than before, and her speed was also much faster. She now had inexhaustible strength.

Jiang Chuan was also very excited when he saw Ling Juan, who had grown to the size of a normal person and was almost indistinguishable from one. The two of them hugged each other tightly and did not let go for a long time.

"Ahem! Alright, how am I going to compensate you with this library!"

Looking at the mess, the mammoth's skeleton was destroyed, and there were shards of glass and many exposed plant roots. Passersby might even think it was the site of an epic battle.

Jiang Chuan and Ling Juan gave a wry smile, then knelt down respectfully to clean up, even sorting the trash. This only made the Scarlet Witch smile insincerely, but she showed them no pity.

"You guys get to work! Clean this place up completely before you come back to me. I have a task for you."

"What task is it, Teacher Hong?"

The Scarlet Witch gave Jiang Chuan a flirtatious wink and said seductively.

"Come to my room, and you'll find out."

Jiang Chuan quickly waved his hand and hurriedly picked up the mammoth bones from the ground.

"No, no, I'd better pack my things first!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Come to my room at 2 PM. You two both have a mission."

After saying that, Scarlet Witch walked away swaying her hips in her high heels, looking very alluring.

Only after Scarlet Witch was completely gone did the two of them return to their original state.

"What's wrong with you! You suddenly changed like this, and your strength seems unfathomable now!"

Ling Juan rolled up her sleeves, revealing her muscular physique, and showed it to Jiang Chuan.

"Look at this! Muscles! See? I'm so much stronger than you now."

"Pshaw, you might turn back into a baby after a nap."

These words startled Ling Juan. He dared not joke around, and was even a little worried after hearing them.

But then I thought about it again, and I realized that I had successfully integrated with the system without any discomfort during the process, so there was nothing to worry about.

In fact, Ling Juan sensed a change in his own personality. He was no longer timid and submissive, but always wanted to strike hard. He no longer wanted to drink milk, and even had a slight craving for strong liquor.

Before they knew it, it was two o'clock in the afternoon. The two of them dressed up and went to the Scarlet Witch's room, but no matter how much they knocked, no one answered.

Jiang Chuan looked down and saw a piece of paper on the ground. He picked it up, opened it, and saw a few simple words written inside.

"I'll take care of other things first. You guys go and help me find the dragon egg. It's in Red City. Once you find it, take the egg back to District 11 and find me. The door isn't locked. There's a brocade pouch inside. If you encounter any difficulties, just open it. There's a map on the back of the paper. Have a safe journey—Scarlet Witch."

The two men looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never even heard of the Red Zone or the True Dragon Egg. How were they supposed to find it? They only had a simple map. There was no other way but to bite the bullet and start searching.

"Have you ever heard of this dragon egg?"

"I know about real dragons, but I never imagined there were actually real dragon eggs. Long ago, when Pangu separated heaven and earth, a real dragon descended and wreaked havoc on the human world. It was wicked and immoral, and it was promiscuous and absurd, leaving behind many offspring, none of whom were mated with the mother dragon. Later, it was discovered by the Great Emperor of the Primordial Era and finally subdued by him. As for the ending, I don't know what happened. I have no record of it here."

Jiang Chuan nodded. Since the true dragon had appeared when Pangu created the world, it was entirely possible for it to appear now. The fact that the Scarlet Witch gave them this clue meant that the true dragon egg had been born. As for how it was born, they would have to go to Red City to find out.

So the two closed the door. Before they left, a male butler stood at the door, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a very dignified suit, seemingly waiting for Jiang Chuan and Ling Juan.

"Gentlemen, have a safe journey. Red City is in that direction."

"Speak," the male butler pointed in a direction. Ling Juan looked in that direction, which was exactly the opposite of Qing City. It seemed that the place had really not been explored.

"Let's go! Let's finish the mission quickly and come back as soon as possible. I have a feeling that this mission is not so simple. Someone will definitely try to steal the dragon egg from us."

Ling Juan was analyzing the situation when, in a dark corner, there were three masked men dressed in black, all wearing hoods with dragon totems on them, seemingly plotting something.

"This mission is a do-or-die situation. The leader has been waiting for this dragon egg for a long time. Only this dragon egg can allow our Black Dragon Sect to completely rule the world. Without further ado, let's split up and proceed."

"Yes, Captain!"

After saying that, the three of them quickly separated and went to different places. It seems that the Black Dragon Sect is also looking for the dragon egg. Jiang Chuan and Ling Juan are in trouble this time.

Ling Juan and Jiang Chuan, of course, had no idea about the Black Dragon Sect. The two of them hurried towards Red City. According to the map, it would take five days to travel at full speed, which wasn't too far.

The two of them didn't rest along the way, relying on the dry food and water they carried with them to fill their stomachs. Not knowing what dangers might lie ahead, they were both very careful and didn't dare to cause any trouble.

"How come we haven't seen any of the Ghost Face Plague mutants along the way?"

"I guess someone else took care of it for us. I have a feeling that there are some powerful people who have already gotten ahead of us!"

Jiang Chuan nodded, indicating that they should go full speed ahead, and the two of them accelerated again.

Four days passed in the blink of an eye, and thanks to their fast pace, the two of them arrived here a day ahead of schedule.

Ling Juan gestured for Jiang Chuan to retreat, while he would provide cover from the front. Ling Juan's current strength was greater than Jiang Chuan's, and how much stronger he was would depend on his performance in actual combat.

"I'm really strong too, okay?"

"You...you're still too green. You have no idea how powerful I am when I'm in my complete form."

"Oh! I thought you just got bigger."

Jiang Chuan rolled his eyes at Ling Juan. He didn't believe Ling Juan had any strength. If she became this powerful after sleeping, then there would be peerless kings everywhere.

Ling Juan didn't have time to argue with him; the most important thing now was to catch up with the people ahead and not let them get there first.

In the blink of an eye, they soon saw traces of a fire that had just been extinguished, indicating that someone must have been here recently.

"Let's go! We need to follow carefully. There are definitely people ahead of us, probably strong ones. If they're too weak, they won't be competing with us for our livelihood."

After saying that, Jiang Chuan reluctantly nodded. He hadn't expected that at this moment, the difference in strength would determine who had the final say.

The two slowly followed, and sure enough, they saw a man in black running ahead.

"Look! That's him."

The man in black ahead realized that someone was following them, so he sped up to avoid delaying the process. But would the spirit scroll work as he wished?

A beam of energy was fired directly at the man in black, who parried it with a flick of his wrist, managing to withstand the energy wave. It was clear that the man in black was not to be underestimated; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the energy wave.

"Long time no see! It seems we have the same thing to do."

The man in black stopped, and the two began to confront each other. Ling Juan and Jiang Chuan did not make the first move, but waited to see what tricks the other party might have up his sleeve.

"You'll have to go by yourself. It's not that we're bullying you, but if you can hold off either of us, I'll be impressed."

After saying that, Jiang Chuan rushed forward, a ball of elemental energy forming in his hand.

"Ling Juan, go quickly, leave this to me!"

"Okay! Be careful, he's definitely not weak."

Having said that, Ling Juan broke through the black-clad man and continued towards the Red City.

Just as the man in black was about to use his beam chain to grab the spirit scroll, Jiang Chuan wouldn't let him. Jiang Chuan fired an elemental sphere, which shattered the man in black's beam chain.

"You kid is courting death!"

"Hmph! Who's looking for whom? If you want to stop him, you'll have to get past me first."

Jiang Chuan summoned the Dragon Roar Sword, and a blue light slashed out. A huge dragon roar echoed through the entire valley. Ling Juan looked behind her, felt there was no problem, and trusted Jiang Chuan's current strength, so she sped up and left.

"Let me show you my new tricks!"

Jiang Chuan silently recited the incantation, and in the blink of an eye, a seal appeared in front of him, covered with blue patterns. That's right, it was the sealing technique that Scarlet Witch had used to test Jiang Chuan's strength, and it was also an advanced version of a basic sealing technique.

"Qiankun.com!"

"What! You're a seal master? But how can a seal master use such a weak technique?"

It seems this man in black is quite an expert; he even knows about seal masters and sealing techniques. He's no ordinary person.

"Dark Night Light Wave!"

A purple light wave was shot out from the man in black's hand in the blink of an eye, colliding with the sealing technique and unleashing an astonishing explosive force.

"Looks like you're still too green. Why don't you try my poison gas bomb!"

After saying that, the man in black conjured a poison gas bomb in mid-air, which exploded instantly, completely surrounding Jiang Chuan. It seemed that Jiang Chuan was now in grave danger.

The man in black laughed heartily, pointing to the poisonous gas ahead.

"Kid, you're so young and you insist on messing with me. Even if my captain came, he'd have to give way to my poison gas bomb!"

Suddenly, a burst of blue light pierced through the black mist.

"cut!"

"what!"

Jiang Chuan actually achieved oneness with his sword amidst the poisonous gas, using the sword aura of the Dragon Roar Sword to block the poisonous gas outside, and his strength increased fivefold. Could this be the strength of the mid-stage Heaven Rank? No, this is the peak of the Heaven Rank.

This slash caught the man in black completely off guard. In the blink of an eye, half of his body was severed, and blood flowed everywhere. When Jiang Chuan saw that the man was dead, he released the current man-sword unity mode.

But he didn't let his guard down and delivered a few more blows, since the man in black had died because of his carelessness.

Seeing that he was truly dead, Jiang Chuan squatted down to carefully examine his body.

At this moment, the other two men in black in the distance sensed his death, so they immediately became alert, gathered together, and stopped acting alone.

When Jiang Chuan saw the character for "dragon" printed on the hood, he sensed that things were definitely not that simple. In particular, the character for "dragon" on the hood didn't seem like an ordinary pattern; rather, it looked like a dragon character formed using some kind of material. So, Jiang Chuan put the hood in his pocket.

Further examination of the man in black revealed nothing of value, except for a box of pills of unknown origin and purpose, which Jiang Chuan also pocketed and took away.

"I wonder how the spirit scroll is doing now. I'll follow it first, but I guess it won't go far."

At this moment, the spirit scroll was getting faster and faster. Originally, he was taking care of Jiang Chuan's speed, but now that Jiang Chuan was gone, he was unleashing his full strength and accelerating at full speed. Suddenly, he sensed two auras ahead, similar to the man in black, but much stronger than the man in black from before.

"not good!"

A purple bat flew to Ling Juan's side and suddenly exploded. Ling Juan was caught off guard by the explosion and immediately activated her defensive mode.

The orange-red light cone shield blocked most of the damage, with only a small amount of explosion hitting my arm. However, it was nothing serious; the main concern now was facing the unknown dangers.

"Fine, you actually killed one of my team members. I'll make you pay with your life!"

Ling Juan realized that Jiang Chuan had killed the opponent, so it seemed that Jiang Chuan was safe and would arrive here soon. He smiled and said.

"Your team members aren't very good! I killed them all in one go. That's all you're capable of!"

"Hmph! Enough with the nonsense, let me show you the strength of the Black Dragon Sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure silently swept past Ling Juan. Ling Juan hurriedly got up and delivered a spinning back kick with astonishing speed, directly knocking the man in black to the ground. The man in black probably didn't expect him to be so fast!

Just as Ling Juan was about to deliver another kick, the captain of the men in black hurriedly stood up and shot a beam of light at Ling Juan, preventing her Heavenly Crippled Kick from landing.

"So, all you do is hide and sneak around?"

"I underestimated you, but now I'm going to get serious."

The captain of the men in black chanted a spell, and suddenly his eyes turned bloodshot. Scales grew on his hands, increasingly resembling a dragon's claw, and even his torso grew intricately interlocking scales.

"This is the secret technique of our Black Dragon Sect, the Illusionary Dragon Technique!"

"I don't care about your decisions, take this!"

The spirit scroll transformed the light cone shield into a celestial drill, aiming directly at the opponent's skull. The opponent caught it with his bare hands, and a huge spark was generated between the two, along with blood and scales. It turned out that the black-clad captain couldn't withstand such a fierce attack.

"Holy crap! What kind of injury is this! Cui, come help me!"

Suddenly, a burly man rushed over from the side, wielding a thick, black shield, and smashed it through Ling Juan's body. The captain of the men in black narrowly escaped injury, but his claws were twisted, rendering him incapacitated. (End of Chapter)
