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

Chapter 57 Finding the Auxiliary Line

The body and mind are not completely separate.

However, these awakened individuals have different focuses.

When Jiang Chuan finally made a breakthrough in his spiritual world, he also gained a new understanding of the flow state.

Flow, in essence, is a state of blissful enlightenment achieved through absolute focus.

When mental power can be manipulated, it can certainly benefit the training of flow state.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan was experiencing an extremely peculiar feeling.

Just like a math problem that was always difficult to solve, after repeated calculations and verifications, it was realized that only the existence of an auxiliary line was needed to easily calculate the value of that angle.

Jiang Chuan understood that he was just one step away from actively achieving "flow."

Once you get that "auxiliary line", everything will fall into place.

Where... is that line?

The continued activation of his perception domain allowed him to gradually become familiar with the methods of introspection, while also making his mental strength seem to become increasingly solid and powerful.

However, the line remained hazy and indistinct. Although its existence was sensed, it could not be found within this incredibly complex "problem".

Just as Jiang Chuan was engrossed in solving the problem, his thoughts were interrupted.

It was as if someone was saying something from a very distant place, far beyond his reach. The voice came in layers, squeezing into his ears and into his mind.

Jiang Chuan frowned, carefully sensing and listening.

"River……"

"Sichuan……"

Are you calling me?

When Jiang Chuan realized this, the originally ethereal voice suddenly amplified, and the distance between them rapidly closed, becoming like a thunderclap, exploding loudly!

"Jiangchuan!! Jiangchuan!!!"

"Wake up!!!"

His perception field froze instantly, and his spiritual energy, which had been wandering in the heavens like a soul leaving his body, returned to his physical body in an instant.

brush!
Intense aches and pains all over my body, a burning sensation in my lungs as if they were on fire, and an overwhelming thirst surged into my senses in that instant.

The original sensory domain was shut down, and my brain felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer from outer space!

My vision blurred, and I realized it was already dark.
And that was Jiang Chuan's last thought before he fell into a coma.

When Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang saw Jiang Chuan slam himself onto the rubber track the moment he stopped, their expressions changed instantly. They jumped off the edge of the track and landed with a thud next to Jiang Chuan.

Although it was already night, Cao Zhigang was still wearing his sunglasses. He asked nervously, "He's not dead, is he?"

Cao Zhiqiang crouched down and checked Jiang Chuan's breath: "He's not dead."

Cao Zhigang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

But then he immediately heard his younger brother add, "But it's about the same."

After Cao Zhiqiang finished speaking, he immediately grabbed Jiang Chuan's arm and hoisted him onto his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

“I took him to the medical station.”

Cao Zhiqiang's figure disappeared quickly.

At this moment, Cao Zhigang was the only one left on the playground.

It was already 10 p.m.

Everyone has finished today's training.

Everyone else was keeping track of their lap count, afraid of running an extra lap, but Jiang Chuan, even after running over two hundred laps, was still staggering forward.

If they weren't called Jiang Chuan, he probably would have just kept running like that.

This situation never occurred even when Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang were receiving training.

Thankfully, nothing bad happened.

Without thinking twice, he immediately strode toward the medical station.

……

Qingshi Institutional Medical Station.

There are thirty beds here.

But there were thirty-two people lying down.

The sounds of groans and moans of pain, and the heavy snoring of those asleep, rose and fell throughout the medical station.

Tang Songming lay there, his face pale, staring blankly at his IV drip. The usually talkative man had lost all interest in speaking.

Liang Cheng lay next to Tang Songming, his face equally pale. His dry lips and sallow complexion made him look like a refugee who had survived a war.

A creaking sound came from the door.

Teacher Cao Zhiqiang from Class Two carried a familiar figure into the medical station. Tang Songming noticed him and asked in a hoarse voice, "Brother Jiang... is he still alive?"

Liang Cheng's voice was equally hoarse: "If someone is dead, they should be sent to the crematorium."

The three brothers, who were ranked last, second, and third, lay side by side on the last makeshift beds that had been prepared.

Several doctors gathered around; some took his pulse, some examined his eyelids, some drew blood, and some recorded the data…

The examination, which took about ten minutes, was over quickly.

The doctors remained calm throughout, indicating that Jiang Chuan's health was likely not in any serious condition.

At this moment, Cao Zhigang also arrived at the medical station. As Jiang Chuan's homeroom teacher, he asked the doctor:
"how is he?"

The doctor seemed used to this and calmly began to speak:
"Aside from the lack of water and sugar, there's nothing wrong."

"She just fainted. The treatment will be the same as for everyone else: an IV drip and some nutritional supplements."

"I'm quite mentally exhausted, but I should be able to recover pretty much after a good night's sleep."

Of course, the so-called IV drips and nutritional injections were provided by the organization's headquarters.

It is not a regular hospital medication, but it has a remarkably strong effect in restoring physical function, strength, and mental well-being.

Not only is it highly effective, but it also has few side effects. However, the price of such a near-perfect product is its extremely high price.

Fortunately, the last thing the organization has in abundance right now is money.

Upon hearing the doctor's words, the Cao brothers exchanged a glance, both looking relieved.

Cao Zhigang then looked at the other students at the medical station.

This visual effect is reminiscent of a general inspecting wounded soldiers.

Cao Zhigang pushed up his sunglasses, looked at their incredibly weak faces, and nodded. His distinctive, thunderous voice echoed in the medical station:

"Although your results today are far from meeting the standard, I must commend your perseverance!"

"I hope you can keep up the good work!"

There are no other classes tonight, so you should all get some rest and go to bed early!

Hope shone in the students' eyes.

Can I ask for leave tomorrow?

But Cao Zhiqiang immediately added, "Training will proceed as scheduled tomorrow!"

A wail came from the medical station.

……

Jiang Chuan slowly opened his eyes.

It was already daylight.

The soreness in my body is still there, and my mind is foggy... like the exhaustion after pulling two all-nighters to finish a job.

The unfamiliar ceiling he saw gave him a strange sense of déjà vu.

Before he could figure out where this sense of déjà vu came from, he heard an unfamiliar voice ring out beside the bed:

"woke up?"

He looked in the direction from which the sound came.

This middle-aged man was probably in his forties, wearing a blue shirt. His arms were quite muscular, but there was a clear difference between them and Cao Zhigang's explosive muscles.

"I am Chen Xingyang, and I am your direct supervisor."

Jiang Chuan recalled that he seemed to have mentioned this name after discussing wages with the old man named Xu Chenggong.

Before Jiang Chuan could say anything, the superior continued:
"Get up quickly."

"It's not too late to go to training now."

Jiang Chuan shook his head, his eyes filled with resistance.

He wanted to pretend that he was too weak to train anymore.

Chen Xingyang looked at Jiang Chuan and shook his head, paused for a moment, and then said:

"Don't forget, if you don't go, you'll be fined 10,000."

Jiang Chuan's eyes widened as he struggled to get out of bed.

But when he got up, he found that he wasn't as tired as he had imagined.

Even though I was still exhausted, my whole body ached, and even my eyes felt like they were about to bulge out...

But he could still feel the power emanating from his body.
