Chapter 111 Talent Refresh, Old Jiang Returns!

Zhongzhou No.1 High School.

With the end of the time warp, the students returned to the school square.

At this moment, everyone looked haggard, as if they had been staying up all night for several nights in a row.

This is true; no one would waste their precious, unlimited time on rest. Almost everyone tries to endure as long as possible, and only takes a short nap when they really can't hold on any longer.

Students like Jiang He, Du Lingwei, and Yun Yang haven't slept for almost a month.

After such a long period of sleeplessness and intense cultivation, even someone with an extraordinary physique would be on the verge of collapse.

After returning to school, Jiang He didn't linger for a moment. He ran home like the Flash and flew to his bed with a whoosh.

He even forgot to put on a sleep buff and went straight to sleep.

When he woke up again, it was completely dark.

Jiang He took his phone out of his bag, reconnected to the network, and glanced at the time.

Thursday, May 31, 22:18.

He slept for about twelve hours...

Actually it's not bad.

Jiang He was starving, but didn't want to eat the leftovers in his bag, so he took out his phone and ordered fried chicken delivery.

After ordering takeout, he put down his phone, lay back on the bed, stared blankly at the dark ceiling, and was momentarily lost in thought.

What to do next?

practice?

He has been cultivating in the distorted time domain for nearly a month.

Even the most hardened person would feel a bit tired after working like this for such a long time.

Not to mention high school students like Jiang He.

He feels like he's just come out of the intense preparation for the college entrance exam, and he doesn't want to touch his studies anymore. All he wants to do is lie in bed and enjoy his vacation.

But if he just lay there, he felt a strange sense of guilt, as if his body was urging him to do something.

But Jiang He didn't have any ideas...

Just as he was letting his mind wander, the phone rang.

The takeaway has arrived.

Jiang He went to the door to retrieve the takeout, returned to the living room, and saw Lao Jiang sitting in front of the TV playing games.

He sat down next to Lao Jiang, watching Lao Jiang play games while eating, occasionally feeding Lao Jiang a couple of pieces of fried chicken.

My initial anxiety gradually subsided.

After finishing his meal, Jiang He wiped his mouth and said, "Old Jiang, you're going back tomorrow."

"Yes." Old Jiang nodded with a smile.

Having the opportunity to go back to the past was a rare moment of relaxation and enjoyment for him.

Even if it's just for a short week.

At this moment, Jiang He said, "You are my future selves. It's not easy for you to come all this way."

"Before the white crane returned, I gave him a day of free time."

"What about you? Is there anywhere you want to go, or anything you want to do?"

"I happen to have nothing to do, so I can keep you company."

“You can think of me as… you are ‘Jiang He’ and I am ‘Heroic Spirit’.”

"You have the final say."

Identity reversal, freedom of movement?
Old Jiang looked at Jiang He in surprise, not expecting him to grant "heroic spirits" such great power.

but……

This is indeed "myself".

"Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony." Old Jiang smiled, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let's go on a trip."

"Tourism?" Jiang He was somewhat surprised.

“Yes, a day trip.” Old Jiang said with a smile, “I’ve finally returned to the past, I want to see this world.”

"This prosperous and peaceful world was established and ruled by the parliament."

"..."

Is this what Lao Jiang (Jiang Zemin) was thinking?
For people living in modern times, this is a commonplace and peaceful daily routine.

Is this the scene that the future savior, a hundred years from now, longs for?
Jiang He was slightly lost in thought, then nodded and said, "Okay."

……

To top-tier superhumans, Earth is too small. They could travel to every corner of the world in less than a day.

And this small planet is the home that Lao Jiang cherishes.

Just one day.

He walked with Jiang He through the ancient city, standing on the mottled city wall that had not yet been trampled flat by the strange beasts, looking at the thick night and the city lights still burning.

Visit the Museum of Ancient Civilizations and browse the bronze artifacts that represent the rich heritage of human civilization.

Flying over the razor-sharp mountain gorges, watching countless tourists sit in cruise boats, navigating the winding river and admiring the magnificent landscape.

As it turns out, advanced superhumans and genius superhumans are ultimately only a minority.

In modern society, the vast majority of people are still low-level superhumans, or even ordinary people born before the millennium who have not yet awakened.

They have no contact with the "apocalypse" and no understanding of the "abyss".

In their eyes, even the "monster uprising" was just a simple accident and did not represent the prelude to the collapse of order and peace.

Peace remains the dominant theme everywhere, and scenes of peace and prosperity are everywhere.

This gave Jiang He, who had been on edge ever since learning of the impending disaster and apocalypse, a strange sense of disconnect.

It was as if he was experiencing a different world from everyone else...

However, it was precisely this atmosphere that allowed Jiang He's tense spirit to relax slightly, and the pressure on his shoulders to ease considerably.

I noticed the changes in Jiang He.

Old Jiang's smile deepened.

Jiang He pushed himself too hard.

I can't wait to become an X-class hero next week, eliminating countless disasters and saving the endless future...

But he was actually just an eighteen-year-old boy.

Pressure may make him grow quickly, or it may lead him to extremes.

He is not lacking in pressure now.

What's lacking is relaxation.

"Take it easy."

"The one thing you have in abundance is time."

……

June 1st, Friday, 7:40 PM.

Jiang He returned home, looking much more relaxed.

With similar smiles as Lao Jiang, he excitedly exclaimed, "I never imagined that Jiangcheng City in Yunyang would be built on a mountain! It's so different from our place!"

"And then there's Oze City, where the lake is practically as vast as an ocean..."

Jiang He is like...

No, it was his first time traveling with his parents, and everything that came into view was new and interesting to him.

Even now, I'm still excited and want to travel to other parts of the mainland with Lao Jiang.

Unfortunately, Jiang Zemin is about to return.

He had no choice but to give up his idea and return to Zhongzhou City with Lao Jiang.

Jiang He seemed to have more to say.

Old Jiang laughed and said, "It's okay. Once your talent cooldown is over, you can summon me again... Then we can go explore other places."

"A word is settled!"

Jiang He nodded excitedly.

We can also call the white crane then.

As a foodie, he certainly wouldn't miss out on trying all the world's delicacies.

Old Jiang looked up, glanced at the time, and smiled broadly.

"Okay, it's time."

"See you next time."

Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man with a stubble and a red scarf transformed into countless points of light and shattered with a bang.

In Jiang He's mind, the gold card representing Old Jiang dimmed at this moment.

Friday, 19:50 p.m.

Talents refreshed, heroic spirits return.
