Chapter 28: Chapter Twenty-Six; Jiāng Jiāng Discovers That Things Are Not Simple

After spending over half a month in City 003, relying on Chén Chén's global perception, the two displayed a hunting yield enough to match or even surpass a War God, thus earning enough reputation, and Jiāng Jiāng's training plan was also sufficient; it was time to head back.

After Chén Chén's careful study and exploration of Jiāng Jiāng's body over the past few days, it was basically confirmed that Jiāng Jiāng's body had something special.

Just like Luofeng's absolute calm physique, this calm not only shows in mood; the body's instincts and the brain's control over the body are forever influenced by this 'calm'. No matter whether facing mortal danger or desire, Luofeng can rely on willpower to keep his original intention.

In other words, Luofeng is a kind of 'cold-blooded' physique.

In contrast to Luofeng, although Jiāng Jiāng's usual demeanor is very calm, the longer she engages in battle, the more her emotions rise, her heart rate spikes, her perception, physical fitness, and overall bodily qualities improve, while her reason gradually diminishes, relying more and more on bodily instinct until after the battle ends, when she gradually calms down.

Simply put, she is a berserker.

From a long-term perspective, Chén Chén actually favors Luofeng's 'cold-blooded' physique more, after all, in the original work, Luofeng's cold-blooded physique can even allow his mental state to have a 'level-crossing' effect, and as mental state becomes more important in the martial arts' development toward the mysterious, it grows increasingly significant.

As for Jiāng Jiāng's 'hot-blooded' trait, according to Chén Chén's research, the true trigger for activating the 'hot-blooded' passive is actually a 'death crisis'. Simply put, when Jiāng Jiāng's instincts sense a death crisis, the more she fears death, the more it triggers; triggering lowers her reason, and then until her limited reason again 'fears death', until reaching a dynamic balance where she no longer fears death or feels no 'life-threatening danger'.

When the 'life-threatening danger' reaches the limit where reason drops to its extreme, it manifests as a side effect of the 'hot-blooded' passive: battle blackout, and Jiāng Jiāng will forget all actions taken during that period.

From Chén Chén's perspective, an automatic transmission-style berserk switch is clearly a positive skill.

From Jiang Jiang's point of view, scheming Jiangme isn't ^

Of course, overall, it's indeed a good thing for Jiāng Jiāng.

If Chén Chén's expectation is not wrong, Jiāng Jiāng's synchronized mind-body fear of death is likely to make it easier for her to experience the so-called 'great terror between life and death'.

The so-called terror between life and death is actually the manifestation of the body's potential bursting forth when life is near death. As for Jiāng Jiāng, perhaps because her body is overly afraid of death, this stress response occurs more frequently; in other words, Jiāng Jiāng may be more prone than ordinary people to reach that terrifying state.

This also again confirms that Jiāng Jiāng possibly indeed possesses the highest tier of foundational talent on the entire Earth.

Sigh, I originally said we should just let her be, but looking at this, we should plan a suitable martial artist's path for comrade Jiāng Jiāng.

If Jiāng Jiāng knew that this stupid talent made her miss the chance to become Earth's first 'rice worm' and the opportunity to stay home and train, she would probably be so angry she'd cry.

……

Moreover, during this period, Jiāng Jiāng's strength has seen a noticeable increase, and the training of her genetic primordial force and the Secret Manual has been progressing steadily; relying on the Secret Manual's method of exertion and body technique, she can already stably display the physical quality of a mid-level war commander, and the specific battle results and post-hot-blooded strength, with an extra over ninety million shown in the account, are already sufficient proof.

Compared to Luofeng, she also slightly surpasses his previous strength at that time, and Jiāng Jiāng has already shown a momentum of catching up.

After all, Luofeng's earthly body's talent in martial arts is merely outstanding among humans, while Jiāng Jiāng's talent in this regard seems not inferior to Luofeng's true earthly form.

Since the actual assessment was two or three months ago, Luofeng's strength has been steadily improving; judging by basic physical fitness alone, Luofeng is already close to breaking through to mid-level war commander, making it increasingly hard to firmly suppress Jiāng Jiāng, and even the perfect body Chén Chén crafted for himself may not always stay ahead of the two, given that Chén Chén's current knowledge is limited and the structures he can utilize are merely those of earthly humans.

And this time also happens to be the scheduled arrival of Luofeng's Fire Hammer Squad in City 003, with Chén Chén working behind the scenes to make adjustments; aside from Luofeng's martial arts path progressing slightly faster in strength, there isn't really a big difference.

Chén Chén should also bring Jiāng Jiāng back, after all, the purpose of this trip has already been exceeded; Jiāng Jiāng's potential and determination both surpass Chén Chén's expectations. After these two months of arduous training, it's time to spend a period settling down, as progressing too quickly isn't necessarily good.

Because Jiāng Jiāng always suffers from 'fear that walls have ears', she absolutely refuses to test her physical condition in the martial arts hall, so even Chén Chén isn't entirely clear on the exact numbers, and the only option is to test again at home.

Thus, the two individuals' three-month wilderness area special training (special training for Jiāng Jiāng) has finally entered its final stage.

And Jiāng Jiāng, after enduring over two months of torment, has finally begun to notice something amiss.

By the way, isn't Chén Chén a bit too strong?

He can easily slay high-level beast commanders alone, and taking on multiple intermediate-or-above beast commanders is no problem; this suggests that Chén Chén may already be approaching War God-level strength!

No, no, he's still considerably lacking, at least in speed he's not much faster than me; even so, that's quite exaggerated, given that Chén Chén's real age is just about to turn eighteen.

Thus it's no surprise that Chén Chén's genes were overridden by a big shot.

Wrong, saying that makes me wonder if I'm also too strong; you know, these past few days I've also had several independent kills of high-level beast commanders, and some monsters are even comparable to lord-level danger……

As for my own special 'burst seed' mode, according to Chén Chén's saying it should be a unique talent; aside from consciousness blurring from overuse, there are basically no side effects or aftereffects.

Jiāng Jiāng also let out a big sigh of relief; since it's Chén Chén saying that, there should be no problem, after all Chén Chén couldn't possibly harm himself.

However, saying it this way (T＿T)

Then my own talent wouldn't also be incredibly exaggerated! That wouldn't also mean I could possibly be targeted!

Jiāng Jiāng sucked in a breath of cold air.

Although during this period Jiāng Jiāng consistently carried out the 'Plan to Enjoy Cool Shade Under the Big Tree', she would punch out fiercely when fighting monsters, but when returning to base she would shrink back, trying to let others think she was just a slacker; however, she couldn't help but notice that her and Chén Chén's money-making speed was really somewhat too exaggerated.

Three months, nearly one billion, approaching three hundred twenty million per month.

Three hundred twenty-five million per month, two young people……

Jiāng Jiāng just felt that when she went to the military district to buy breakfast today, the boss's gaze at her seemed off……

However, Chén Chén's hunting plan this time is finally ending, so Jiāng Jiāng's 'Post-Hunt Plan' can now be launched.

What is the plan after the hunt ends?

Of course, it's to laze around at home, completely disappear from public view until everyone forgets there is such a person as Jiāng Jiāng, then at home digest all the money earned during this period into strength, and only then go out for the War God Training Camp's assessment.

Since it's already decided to go to the War God Training Camp, fame is inevitably unavoidable, but one must ensure one's strength stands above the rumors.

Thinking and thinking, Jiāng Jiāng suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken……
