Chapter 54 A Real Man Never Looks Back at an Explosion

A chilling thought quietly spread through the minds of all the viewers. If changing forms could instantly refresh a finishing move, then Jiang Lan might be able to single-handedly defeat the entire Federation's army.

With over a dozen forms to switch between, its terrifying combat power is simply unimaginable. Only now did the viewers watching the memory livestream finally realize that they had witnessed Jiang Lan's journey from an unknown ordinary person to a towering tree capable of blotting out the sky.

From being completely unknown to becoming famous throughout the Federation, Jiang Lan only took less than a month. This speed may seem absurd, but Jiang Lan has indeed made it a reality.

White Leopard stared at Jiang Lan, who was poised for a fatal strike, and a deep-seated fear instantly filled his chest. "Ahhh—" He could no longer hold back, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, and he charged towards Jiang Lan recklessly. The image of Yellow Leopard being fatally injured by Jiang Lan's kick was still vivid in his mind. At this moment, only resistance might offer a sliver of hope; if he surrendered, certain death awaited him.

Seeing the white leopard charging fearlessly, Jiang Lan leaped into the air, unleashing his ultimate technique, the Knight's Kick, which slammed into the leopard. A deafening roar followed, as terrifying energy surged from Jiang Lan's foot into the white leopard's body. With a thunderous crash, the white leopard's body was sent flying backward like an arrow, carving a deep trench in the ground.

Watching the white leopard, severely wounded and sent flying backward, Jiang Lan slowly turned away, as if unwilling to look at him again. He knew in his heart that the white leopard was doomed from this blow. Sure enough, the moment Jiang Lan turned around, a halo suddenly appeared above the white leopard's head, who had just barely managed to get up from the ground.

Upon seeing the halo of light, the white leopard instantly turned pale and roared in terror. He knew perfectly well that his life was nearing its end. "Aaaaah—" With a piercing scream, the white leopard's body exploded, spewing forth raging flames that stained the entire sky crimson.

Standing to the side, Hikawa Makoto gazed at the man before him, whose combat power was overwhelming, and felt a sense of unreality, as if he were in a dream. Yet, the scorching heat emanating from the flames clearly told him that it was all real. This man before him was an existence even more terrifying than those unknown life forms.

"In this life, Jiang Lan seems to have gotten used to turning away after defeating his opponents—" "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is what a real man looks like—never looking back at an explosion!"

"His first incarnation was Kuuga, his second was Agito, I wonder what form Jiang Lan's third incarnation will take?"

"Being able to explore the memories of two lifetimes is already incredibly powerful. If one could also explore a third lifetime, would anyone else have a chance to survive?"

"Remember, this man's name is Jiang Lan. There's nothing he can't do. When he first displayed a million exploration factors, who could have predicted that he would cause such a huge upheaval in the Federation?"

"The scariest thing about Jiang Lan is that you never know where his limits are!"

The scene abruptly shifts, the memory flashing to an amusement park where another fierce battle is unfolding for Jiang Lan. This time, the angel clashing with Jiang Lan is the Raven Venerable – Raven Constellation – Crying. Crying's appearance closely resembles a raven, with a beak on its face and arms covered in thick feathers, making it highly recognizable.

It can rush in from high altitudes at speeds of up to 340 kilometers per hour, and it is best at launching ramming attacks with its hard head.

Jiang Lan, now in Earth form, turned on his high beams. After exchanging blows with Crying Cry for several rounds, he gradually realized that his opponent's speed was extremely troublesome. In addition, Crying Cry remained hovering in the air, its movements agile and unpredictable, making it difficult for Jiang Lan to inflict effective damage. Without further hesitation, Jiang Lan unfolded the overlapping horns above his head, gathering all his energy into his right foot, preparing to unleash a Knight Kick on Crying Cry.

"Hooray—" Jiang Lan leaped high into the air, terrifying energy gathering in his right foot, unleashing a devastating kick towards Timing. This scene shocked the viewers watching the live stream—Jiang Lan had unleashed his ultimate technique right from the start. He acted with extreme decisiveness, without any hesitation, like a ruthless "monster harvester." Many viewers joked that if they were monsters, upon seeing Jiang Lan's power, they would definitely turn and run, not daring to linger for even a moment.

But what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations. Just as Jiang Lan's Knight's Kick was about to strike Crying, Crying suddenly swooped down at incredible speed, then rapidly ascended, precisely dodging the fatal blow. It then kicked Jiang Lan, slamming him violently to the ground. A deafening crash followed, leaving a deep crater in the ground.

All the audience members were stunned by what they saw.

Jiang Lan—he actually unleashed his ultimate move in vain? This was the first time since his second life that everyone had seen Jiang Lan suffer such a setback.

"It's a good thing Jiang Lan suffered a setback this time, otherwise I would have really thought he was invincible and could defeat anyone in the world."

"Who could have predicted that 'birdman' could change direction so quickly during its dive!"

"Just a setback? You've forgotten, he's Jiang Lan! It won't be long before he becomes even stronger."

"Every time Jiang Lan suffers a loss, his strength increases significantly. I even suspect that he does it on purpose—deliberately getting defeated by monsters in order to quickly improve his strength. To put it bluntly, he's grinding levels."

"What you're saying makes some sense. Jiang Lan does have some of the characteristics of a cunning old man. You can tell from how he always hides his ultimate moves in his normal attacks. He's extremely meticulous and not someone to be trifled with."

Inside the top-secret council chamber of the Blue Star Federation, a high-ranking official spoke slowly, solemnly instructing the experts present: "Be prepared, Jiang Lan's new form is about to appear. Be sure to record all relevant data! Our Federation must also have its own artificial knight!" The experts nodded in agreement. In their eyes, Jiang Lan's memories were undoubtedly priceless, containing extremely high research value.

Just as Jiang Lan, whose kick had missed, stood up from the ground, Ti Ming swooped down from the sky, grabbed his shoulders tightly with both hands, and forcibly carried him into the air. Ti Ming flew with Jiang Lan to the top of a Ferris wheel, and then exerted a sudden burst of force, slamming him hard into the Ferris wheel's thick steel frame.

With a loud bang, the Ferris wheel's steel frame was instantly bent and deformed. Jiang Lan plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily onto a small cart stall on the ground. With another roar, the cart exploded.

Before Jiang Lan could get up, Timing swooped down again, grabbed him, and slammed him hard onto the roller coaster tracks. This time, Jiang Lan crashed into the pool beside him. Seeing Jiang Lan lying motionless in the pool, Timing let out a few sharp, piercing cries before disappearing from the screen.

Severely injured, Jiang Lan fell into a coma in the water. He didn't slowly awaken until late at night—according to the law that knights are insoluble in water, Jiang Lan was not threatened with drowning and was unharmed. Dragging his battered body, he leaned wearily against a pillar and unknowingly fell into a deep sleep. When he awoke again, it was already noon the next day.
