My future updates weekly.

Chapter 78 Jiang is still the shrewdest.

After the battle, Jiang He deactivated his Flame Body feat.

The flames died down, revealing a mangled, festering body, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

Fortunately, the effects of the "Words Engraved in the Bones" had not yet ended. The "Spiritual Healing" incantations engraved on various parts of his body took effect simultaneously, causing his skin to regenerate and his injuries to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Add the phrase "completely clean and fresh".

As the bloodstains disappeared, Jiang He, apart from being a little pale, looked to be in better condition than Yun Yang.

He glanced at the final evaluation, nodded in satisfaction, looked at Yunyang, and smiled.

"How about it."

"..."

Everyone turned to look at Yunyang.

It was he who kept provoking Jiang He, insisting on competing with him.

When the battle ended, Jiang He completely crushed him in every aspect—growth, performance, and combat ability—...

Is he secretly performing a ritual, about to pull out a red-nosed creature from his pocket and become a clown in the next second?

Faced with the strange looks from the crowd.

Yunyang's face flushed red. He looked up at Jiang He, pursed his lips and clenched his fist, looking like he was about to grind his teeth to powder.

Finally, he managed to squeeze out a few words.

"You won."

After saying that, he immediately added, "Our score is 0 to 2. You wait, I'll win next time!"

So you keep trying despite repeated defeats, right?

The students around them were amused and were about to burst out laughing, but when they saw Yunyang's defiant look, their expressions froze and their smiles gradually disappeared.

They seemed to see "themselves" in them.

Ultimately, Yunyang's talent is undeniable; he simply encountered Jiang He, a genius even stronger than himself.

Aren't these students the same?
They were all top students in their respective cities, but they were brought together to see a wider world and meet many students who were even stronger than them.

Their situation was no different from Yunyang's.

In this situation, Yunyang did not wallow in self-pity, but instead continued to challenge stronger opponents.

What's so funny about that?
Jiang He was also taken aback.

He hadn't expected that Yunyang wouldn't try to salvage the situation by making excuses, but instead would admit his defeat...

This is extremely rare for a young, proud genius.

You know, many adults can't afford to lose.

This willingness to accept defeat earned Jiang He a slight sense of goodwill. After thinking for a moment, he spoke.

“Building capabilities is not about simply choosing a few powerful classes and maxing out their skills.”

"If you want to truly unleash your professional potential, it's best to focus on one profession as your core, allocating skill points and combining them around its core competencies..."

"These extraordinary professions were created by top-tier extraordinary individuals and embody their wisdom."

"Just like Professor Zhong said, take a look at the notes in the library and understand the thinking of professional creators."

"Don't just think for yourself and work in isolation."

"Only by absorbing the experience of the strong can one become stronger quickly."

These are actually Jiang Zemin's words.

According to him.

Old Jiang has changed jobs many times; it's not that he completely forgot about them after erasing them.

The truly valuable asset that Lao Jiang gained was the thinking of those professional creators and their reflections on their own systems.

That's precisely why he was able to make so many variations of the weakest talent, the "Eraser."

"Learning from the wisdom of our predecessors..."

Yunyang and the others seemed to be deep in thought.

He was young and ambitious, believing that he was no less capable than anyone else.

Even S-class superhumans were only born a few years earlier than him.

Therefore, after acquiring the Judge and other skills, he never consulted a teacher, purely constructing his own system according to his own ideas, believing that the skill combinations he came up with were invincible...

It wasn't until this moment that reality (Jiang He) rudely woke him up.

Perhaps it's time to make a change.

Yunyang nodded earnestly: "Thank you."

You know what, this kid suddenly became very polite.

Seeing that the other students were deep in thought because of his words, Jiang He took advantage of the fact that before everyone could react, said "You're welcome," and decisively turned and left.

By the time everyone realizes what's happening, he might be surrounded and made into dumplings again. He's only just emerged from his self-isolation; he's still a long way from becoming a true community leader.

only……

As Jiang He walked out of the combat arena and slipped out of the school with practiced ease, he found himself accompanied by a tagalong.

"Jiang He, you're really amazing!" Chi Zhilei exclaimed sincerely.

She remembered that Jiang He had just awakened last week, and when he encountered the Arc Light thugs attacking the school, he could only assist Teacher Wei Sheng...

If it were Jiang He now, he could probably single-handedly kill all the thugs below level C!
Chi Zhilei even suspected that she might have skipped a year of the storyline while sleeping one day.

A little too exaggerated.

“…Chi, everyone else has gone to the library to look up information, aren’t you going?” Jiang He asked tactfully.

“I’ve already looked at it.” Chi Zhilei blinked. “I know I’m weak. When I was in the Twisted Time Domain, I was already looking through professional materials and trying to learn professional strategies…”

"..."

You're awesome!

Jiang He had no choice but to remain silent, trying his best to make Chi Zhilei back down.

It wasn't that he disliked her, but rather that Lao Jiang was floating around beside him like a ghost, with a thoughtful expression.

If Lao Jiang regains some memories through Chi Zhilei, and recalls his buried past...

Sadness and pain are secondary.

Jiang He was afraid that after Lao Jiang remembered everything, he would still not feel any "sadness" or similar emotions.

In that case, Jiang He would feel even more... sorrowful.

Chi Zhilei had already gotten used to Jiang He's silence.

Just like last week, she followed beside me, still chattering away, trying to find topics to talk about.

Looking at this strange duo, Old Jiang finally scratched his head: "The young lady's father wants to invite you to dinner and is asking if you have time... Should you accept or refuse? You should give him a response."

He turned upside down, his scarf hanging down, and looked at Jiang He: "If you're deliberately silent because of me... I can only say you're worrying unnecessarily."

"The first time I saw this little girl, I realized that she left absolutely no trace in my memory—"

"It's as if it was deliberately erased."

"Although I don't know why, I must have erased it myself."

"She might be very important to me."

The first time... was when Teacher Zhong gathered the students and announced the training camp?
Jiang He noticed that Lao Jiang had always been carefree and didn't pay much attention to Chi Zhilei when they met, so he assumed that Lao Jiang hadn't discovered the truth.

Did they already notice something was wrong?

Old Jiang, unusually without a smile, calmly said, "However, whatever her identity is in my memory... it has nothing to do with this little girl."

"She is not the person I remember."

"So, you don't need to change anything for me."

"..."

Old Jiang only noticed the abnormality in his memory through Chi Zhilei.

However, as a mature superhuman from a century in the future, and even someone with a time-related profession like "Observer," he clearly understands that the "she" of the present has absolutely no connection to the "she" of the future timeline.

Because of the differences in possibilities and experiences, in his eyes, these were completely two different people.

Therefore, apart from the very beginning, he paid no extra attention to Chi Zhilei.

'They're very different from the white cranes...'

Jiang He understood his thoughts and agreed in his heart: "Okay, I understand..."

"You found out?" Old Jiang's expression changed, his eyes instantly sharpening. "So, you really did see 'your future,' and 'my past'?"

"Is it a talent upgrade?"

"You know what she represents, so you're deliberately hiding it?"

"...??"

Jiang He's breath hitched.

broken!

Old Jiang has no memory of Chi Zhilei, so he naturally doesn't know "what is the relationship between Jiang He and Chi Zhilei".

Jiang Zemin's claims of "deliberate silence" and "intentional change" are all utter nonsense!
He had no idea what Jiang He's attitude should be when facing Chi Zhilei!

Jiang He: "Old Jiang, you fucking cheated!!"

"Jiang is shrewd as an old fox." Old Jiang's lips curled up in a smile. "So, can you answer my question now?"

""who is she."
