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

Chapter 93 The Eight Immortals Cross the Sea, Each Displaying Their Unique Abilities! But they didn't cross the sea.

"drill?"

Upon hearing Liang Cheng's explanation, Lin Ci subconsciously looked at his hands.

He felt he might not be able to do that, and subconsciously began to judge what choice he would have made in that instant.

He got the answer quickly.

If it were me, I would most likely ignore the pain and slowness that came when the steel needle hit me at the beginning.

A swift response was launched to break the deadlock.

But what if someone like Jiang Chuan, after being affected by the steel needles, manages to break through the encirclement...?

He can't.

In fact, it's not just Lin Ci; anyone who's interested in competing for a ranking is thinking the same thing.

Tian Tian stared intently at Jiang Chuan, muttering to herself, "Truly valiant..."

Li Yi, of course, heard what Tian Tian said beside her, and she was also somewhat surprised by the strength Jiang Chuan displayed.

Spiritual energy condensed into a drill bit? What an ingenious idea!
Break through the surface with a single point; achieve great results with small investment.

When your strength is limited, make the most of it!
……

Not only the students standing here, but even Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang showed surprise on their faces.

Although the look of surprise was fleeting, a multitude of thoughts inevitably surfaced in her mind.

Others may not know, but they do know how much impact training this bronze figure received from the headquarters' technical department.
This punch actually caused the system to crash and perform a self-check?

Just two weeks ago, he was a complete novice who could barely run 80 kilometers!

This speed of progress is amazing!
In Cao Zhigang's eyes, Jiang Chuan would most likely be in the same situation as Class Two Number One, and would be beaten flying...

But he not only broke through, he even went further!
……

It's too late to say.

Jiang Chuan didn't have time to think about all that. This drill was his only destructive weapon besides his fists.

The mental energy drill attached to that punch was used subconsciously.

After temporarily breaking through the encirclement, Jiang Chuan's gaze immediately swept over everything in front of him.

In a state of flow, his reaction speed was greatly enhanced, and he instantly identified the location and movements of the other bronze figures.

With his perception field expanded, he could simultaneously sense the bronze figures chasing after him like shadows.

Emerging from the tiger's den, only to fall into the dragon's pool!
Being attacked from both sides has greatly increased the difficulty for me!
After all, he had only shaken off five bronze figures, and there were still thirteen more in front of him. Four of the five bronze figures had already caught up, and the bronze figure that he had knocked out and was checking its own system quickly stopped trembling and rejoined the chase.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chuan moved forward five meters, and once again he felt threats from all directions!
Within the sea of ​​consciousness, countless lines, some fast and some slow, swiftly locked onto every part of my body!
He immediately realized that this was a volley of copper pellets and steel needles!

He wanted to jump, but just before his legs were about to exert force, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Once you jump, once your body's trajectory can be predicted, you will completely lose your chance!
He gave up on jumping, but his body suddenly stopped! His legs suddenly shifted to the side!
Dangdang Dangdang! !
The sounds of copper balls and steel needles colliding with the metal ground rang out with a crackling sound!

The expressions on everyone's faces changed upon seeing this scene.

Jiang Chuan's actions seemed to indicate that he had predicted the trajectory of those flying objects!
If Jiang Chuan's movements do not change, then these steel needles and copper balls will cover his entire body!

Even so, Jiang Chuan's body was once again in danger because of this step back.

Moreover, those steel needles and copper balls that came from all directions did not completely miss their mark.

These copper balls were extremely powerful, and Jiang Chuan felt a tingling sensation on the left side of his body!
The pain from the steel needles was nothing compared to this numbness...

He stumbled, and before he could regain his footing, the bronze figures behind him rushed up, and the bronze figures in front of him also caught up on horseback!
Jiang Chuan reacted hastily, stepping sideways to forcefully turn his body, and the fist behind him just brushed past him!

This incredibly dangerous response elicited gasps of surprise from the crowd.

But he only managed to dodge that punch. His hasty response left his body in an uncontrollable state for a moment.

Thus, the heavy iron fists of the other bronze figures were unavoidable and landed squarely on his body!
Bang bang bang!
When the fist slammed into his body, Jiang Chuan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes. The weight of the fist, transmitted from his back into his body, felt as if it were dislocating his internal organs!

Whether his internal organs were misaligned or not was unclear, but Jiang Chuan could clearly sense that his perception domain, formed by his mental energy, collapsed instantly!
These bronze figures were far faster and stronger than the patients who were infected in the hospital, leaving Jiang Chuan with no room to maneuver!
While he was still stunned by the beating, the other bronze men swarmed in!

The iron fists of those bronze figures came crashing down on Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan's pupils contracted sharply, but the numbness in his body had not completely subsided. He knew that avoiding it was completely impossible, but he could try to cover it up. However, his body seemed to be disobeying his commands, and the speed at which he raised his arm was as if it were delayed, extremely slow!

"Fuck!"

He felt he was in trouble; he couldn't stop them, he couldn't avoid them. The sound of those punches whistling through the air filled his ears.

Those iron fists approached in the blink of an eye, filling the field of vision. This punch is likely to cause a major incident!

In an instant, Jiang Chuan felt as if the images of his deceased parents flashed before his eyes.

At the critical moment, all the golden bronze figures suddenly stopped moving.

Cao Zhigang's voice rang out: "Failure!"

The nearest fist was right on Jiang Chuan's nose.

Danger after danger.

Then, the bronze figures returned to their original positions.

Although Jiang Chuan failed... this failure did not attract any other discussion.

Everyone standing here knows that they can't possibly do better than Jiang Chuan.

They found no problem with Jiang Chuan's judgment or choice...

And it is precisely because of this that fear has arisen in the hearts of many people...

After all, who would willingly go in and get beaten up on purpose?
……

……

Jiang Chuan limped out of the bronze statue formation.

The blows to his back from the metal fists left him still somewhat dazed, with one side of his body numb and the other side in excruciating pain.

Tang Songming ran out from the crowd, supported Jiang Chuan, and brought him back.

Lin Ci and Song Xi helped Jiang Chuan remove the steel needles from his body. Jiang Chuan lay there, motionless, breathing rapidly.

Tang Songming looked at Jiang Chuan's miserable appearance and laughed: "Brother Jiang, why are you struggling so hard?"

Tian Tian stood to the side and said, "Li Yi is on stage!"

Jiang Chuan struggled to sit up and watched as Li Yi put on her goggles, picked up her sword, and walked into the bronze statue formation.

The bronze statue formation has changed; the positions and initial movements of the bronze statues are completely different from when Jiang Chuan entered.

After witnessing Jiang Chuan's breakthrough, Li Yi naturally developed some of her own thoughts.

As she stepped into the formation and triggered the bronze statue formation, she immediately recited a poem in a clear and melodious voice:

"I feel as if three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and when I look back, all the mountains seem low."

Tang Songming's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Li Yi leaned forward, her skirt fluttering in the breeze. She swung her sword and knocked the steel needle away with a clang. At the same time, she swiftly broke through to the front.

Ripples seemed to appear on the ground beneath her feet; what should have been a single step felt like several steps.

Lin Ci asked in surprise, "What kind of footwork is that?"

But at this very step, three bronze figures appeared before her.

Her expression was solemn, the sword in her hand gleamed, and her body leaned back as if in a dance. The sword sliced ​​across the bronze figure, metal clashing, and sparks flew.

She dodged the attacks of the three bronze figures, and then tried to break through again, but took a step forward and then pulled back...

Because so many steel needles and copper pellets were shooting towards her!

Li Yi was suppressed by the copper balls and steel needles, and her forward steps instantly turned into retreat. She dodged behind the three copper men and fought them at close range!
Dangdangdang!

A dense cacophony of sounds emanated from the bronze figure.

Although she skillfully avoided the barrage of steel needles and copper balls, the close-quarters combat with three bronze figures forced Li Yi to retreat back the few meters she had just taken.

She tried to break through the encirclement several times, but was forced back each time. In the end, she was hit by several steel needles, which affected her movements and slowed her down. Finally, she was forced out of the formation by the bronze statue.

"fail!!"

……

When Li Yi returned, she was in slightly better condition than Jiang Chuan, but not by much.

She breathed softly and said solemnly, "It's difficult."

She pulled the steel needles out of her arm and waist and sat down next to Jiang Chuan.

"I tried my best to avoid close combat, but I was still forced into close combat."

She frowned and said:

"No wonder the second phase of training takes a month."

"It's unlikely that anyone will be able to pass this test in the short term."

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "There are threats from all sides. Not to mention the steel needles and copper balls, those bronze men are also very strong in close combat."

"If we are to pass, our current explosive power and ability to judge the situation are still far from sufficient."

Song Xi, carrying a spear, walked inside with great interest: "Watch me, sister!"

Song Xi rushed into the bronze statue formation. Without hesitation, she swung her spear at the nearest bronze statue.

"Hi!!"

The powerful slam made many people hold their breath.

Perhaps we can break the deadlock with force? Perhaps it will actually work?
Song Xi completely ignored the steel needles and copper pellets, focusing instead on launching a fierce and relentless attack on a bronze figure.

Each flash of the spear interrupted the bronze figure's intended action. Several consecutive heavy blows within a second caused the bronze figure to tremble once again.

but……

It's pointless to deal with just one bronze statue.

Song Xi was quickly entangled by the other bronze figures that rushed over. After a struggle and a beating, Song Xi was still beaten out by the other bronze figures.

Her pretty face was covered in bruises. She sat back down next to Li Yi and Jiang Chuan, chuckling carefree.

"It really didn't work!"

Next up is Lin Ci.

Lin Ci also knew that he could not proceed slowly; once surrounded, he would surely be defeated.

His body swelled instantly, revealing tattoo-like markings, and reached its maximum height in a flash.

A massive, five-meter-tall giant appeared before the crowd, eliciting gasps of astonishment.

This was also the first time Jiang Chuan had seen Lin Ci appear in this way.

Moreover, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Ci's pants. Although the clothes were stretched taut, the pants were surprisingly elastic.

Lin Ci's approach was actually quite simple and straightforward.

He wanted to brave the attacks of those bronze figures and force his way through; perhaps it was possible, given the shaman's resilience.

but……

Although the copper pellets and steel needles were highly resistant to impact, the large area of ​​injury made Lin Ci quickly abandon this brutal choice.

He was thus quickly defeated.

However, Lin Ci did break Jiang Chuan's five-meter record, reaching seven meters.

But in reality, this tiny difference makes little difference; the finish line is still too far away.

Next up is number five, Chen Ming.

Upon seeing Chen Ming, Song Xi patted Jiang Chuan across her sister Li Yi and said, "That's him! The guy who practices Tai Chi!"

Tang Songming then spoke up, saying, "His name is Chen Ming."

"I worked with him that day."

Chen Ming's Tai Chi was remarkably effective against such fierce attacks, but even so, he was still no match for the combined strength of his two fists and four or five bronze figures. He was unable to break through Jiang Chuan's five-meter distance and ultimately failed under the combined attack of steel needles, copper balls, and four or five bronze figures.

After Chen Ming returned, the next groups to join were Tang Songming and Liang Cheng.

Tang, Song, and Ming were basically annihilated instantly, and Liang Cheng wasn't much better off. This stage of training was simply too disadvantageous for them, who were specialists in mental power.

"fail!"

"fail!"

"fail!"

The sounds of failure echoed continuously across the playground.

The morning ended quickly, with Lin Ci achieving the best result of seven meters, followed by Jiang Chuan's five meters.

On the other side of Class Two, the best result was achieved by a girl specializing in mental strength; she walked less than four and a half meters.

It is said that because of her extremely strong mental strength, she deflected many steel needles and copper pellets... but she also suffered serious injuries and was sent to the medical station after being surrounded and beaten by the copper men.

However, this gave Liang Cheng and Tang Songming an idea, and they planned to try it during the afternoon training session.

……

……

After a morning of training, everyone summarized some experiences.

During lunch, most people felt that by playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, they would definitely make a breakthrough in the afternoon.

However, the situation did not improve in the afternoon.

Despite the pressure and attacks from those bronze men, Lin Ci still maintained the best performance. In the afternoon training, he didn't even surpass his morning performance, because he knew that forcing a breakthrough would not truly break through the bronze men formation.

After summarizing the lessons learned in the morning, Song Xi made some changes during the afternoon training. She unleashed her full power to knock out one of them, and then quickly rushed towards another... but she was still defeated by the siege of the bronze men.

Things have changed, but not entirely. Song Xi's overall approach remains primarily destructive.

But upon closer reflection, this was the only option Song Xi could make. If she had chosen to maneuver and use tactics, it wouldn't have been her style.

Jiang Chuan made some progress compared to the morning, but the progress was not significant, especially after taking the first punch, his perception field collapsed, and he was unable to continue moving.

At dinner, the eight of them sat around a table, discussing how to take things to the next level.

Lin Ci said, "It's impossible to completely avoid steel needles and copper balls."

"If you want to truly pass the level, you either need to improve your physical strength or your ability to withstand blows."

Song Xi muttered, emphasizing, "There's still power!"

Tian Tian said, "I originally thought that it would be easy for me to get through this formation, but the speed advantage was useless. The mere five meters of width was not enough to set up the formation. Three or four bronze figures blocked the way."

Li Yi nodded and calmly analyzed, "Actually, we also need to consider the purpose of the training."

"Reaction, outburst, adaptation, and observation."

"These four elements are indispensable."

Tang, Song, Ming, and Liangcheng were all dejected and didn't say a word.

This caused Tang Songming to lose the will to speak, showing that he was indeed helpless against the formation.

As Jiang Chuan listened, a strong sense of déjà vu suddenly arose in his mind.

He quickly figured out where that sense of déjà vu came from.

It came from his previous classes at school.

It's like when students brainstorm and discuss a difficult problem together.

Previously, I had been sleeping in the classroom and had never participated in it.

However, when he actually experienced it firsthand, he realized... it wasn't so bad after all.
