Chapter 3: Past and present lives are all mine

Although Shan Xiong has a bad character, he did not waste his year in Wuyi Academy in vain. His kick was concealed and swift, and before anyone could react, he had already kicked Chen Chuan's ear solidly.

When the teaching assistants saw this, they prepared to send someone up to carry the person.

With such a powerful kick, not to mention an ordinary candidate who has never received any training, even a Wuhan University student who has undergone rigorous anti-strike training would fall to the ground, and in serious cases it could be fatal.

However, what happened next was very surprising. Although Chen Chuan was kicked, his head merely tilted to the side and his foot merely took half a step outward. Then he slowly turned his head and stood up again.

In a place that no one could see, just when he was kicked, the head of the boy who looked exactly like him became blurred.

Shan Xiong was stunned for a moment. He knew how heavy his kick was, but Chen Chuan's eyes were clear and it looked like nothing happened.

Sitting in the middle of the long table was a middle-aged teacher with strong arms and muscles that could almost tear his shirt. He had been silent at first, but suddenly asked, "Name?"

"Ah? Oh!" The teaching assistant next to him came to his senses, picked up the list on the table, looked at it, and said, "Chen Chuan."

"What resume?"

"He's from Yangzhi City and just graduated from a junior high school. There's no record of him joining a boxing club or having received any training..."

The teacher looked at Chen Chuan and said, "I understand."

Shan Xiong failed to knock Chen Chuan down with his kick, but he heard the whispers around the training ground, mixed with a lot of laughter. He felt that these people were mocking him, and his blood suddenly rushed to his head. He roared fiercely, turned around, and launched a powerful backward kick!

Chen Chuan did not have the habit of not fighting back, nor did he hesitate just because the opponent was a student from Wuhan University. He also kicked Shan Xiong without showing any weakness!
This move is somewhat similar to Shan Xiong's whip kick just now. Everyone can see that he is simply imitating, but because his force-generating posture is not standard, his speed and strength are insufficient.

The two people kicked at almost the same time, but the assistant coaches and students watching the game had no doubt that Chen Chuan must have been the one who was kicked first!
The result was the same as they expected. Shan Xiong kicked Chen Chuan on the head first, but the result was the same as last time. He failed to knock Chen Chuan down. This time, the latter didn't even shake his body.

As for Chen Chuan's kick, it also hit Shan Xiong's side neck at this time!

Almost at the same time, the shadow behind him suddenly came to where he was standing, and the two figures overlapped in an instant!
At this moment, his speed and strength suddenly increased!
boom!
There was a muffled sound in the training ground, and there was even a slight echo. One could imagine how powerful the kick was.

Shan Xiong's eyes lost focus and his body fell to one side. Then with a tumble, he fell to the ground with his arms and legs spread out.

Liu Cai opened his mouth slightly, looking at the scene in disbelief.

The other students present were also staring blankly, their minds a little confused. What was going on? Shan Xiong was a second-year student at Wuhan University, and he was actually knocked unconscious by a candidate who obviously had little practice?
And then, they all began to gloat over his misfortune. Shan Xiong was a troublemaker in the academy and had no popularity. Seeing him being humiliated this time made them cheer in their hearts.

The teacher sitting in the middle of the long table took the application form from the assistant, picked up a pen, signed his name on it neatly, stamped it, and said, "This student has passed."

When Chen Chuan heard this, he couldn't help but look at the teacher, wanting to confirm if he was the one being talked about.

The middle-aged teacher said, "Student, you have a good ability to withstand blows. I am the lecturer Bian Feng. You have passed the assessment now. But I remind you that you have only passed the entrance examination. Whether you can gain a firm foothold in Wuyi in the future depends on the entrance re-examination in more than two months."

Chen Chuan smiled happily and bowed to Bian Feng: "Thank you, teacher!"

"Clap clap..."

The teaching assistants and students around all applauded softly at this time. Such an interesting exam was rare. They were looking forward to the performance of this student. They also remembered this student's name. As for Shan Xiong, who was lying on the side and still confused, he seemed to be ignored intentionally or unintentionally.

When Chen Chuan walked out of the training ground, facing the dazzling sunlight outside and looking at the road extending from under his feet, his heart was filled with excitement and joy.

"Student Chen Chuan." A crisp voice came from behind.

Chen Chuan turned around and saw that it was the senior female student he had seen when filling out the form who was calling him. He walked over politely and asked, "Senior, what can I do for you?"

The female student came over and extended her hand. "Student Chen, congratulations on passing the exam. Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Zhen Ping, and I am a sophomore student at Wuhan University."

Chen Chuan also extended his hand and shook her hand, "Chen Chuan, hello, senior sister."

He found that Zhen Ping's hands were very soft and smooth, without any calluses. He could feel a toughness beneath her skin, which gave him the illusion that she could crush his palm if she tightened her five fingers.

Zhen Ping said, "Student Chen, you have to be careful. Shan Xiong is a very narrow-minded person, and he knows some questionable people outside. There are academic rules in the college, so he dare not do anything, but it is hard to say outside the school, so you have to be careful."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and realized that Shan Xiong should be the name of the tall student just now. He didn't know why this person targeted him just now, as if they had a grudge against each other. However, many things in the world actually don't require reasons, because there are many people who cause trouble to others just because they don't like them every day.

He sincerely thanked her and said, "Thank you, senior sister. I will be careful..."

"Zhenzhen!"

As they were talking, a girl not far away waved over here. Zhen Ping also waved over there and said, "Student Chen, I hope you can get into school smoothly. Work hard. Goodbye." After that, she waved at Chen Chuan and ran away briskly.

Chen Chuan also said goodbye. He stood for a moment, then turned and left the old teaching building. This time he did not take the original route, but followed the signs and went out from another route, avoiding the crowds of people who were still coming to register for the exam.

When he came to the carport to pick up the car, he found a lot of advertising papers stuck on the back seat. When he took them out, he saw that they were all advertisements for a certain boxing club, a certain arena, and some training halls. He thought about it and didn't throw them away. He simply folded them and stuffed them into his bag. Then he pushed the car out of the school gate with brisk steps, got on the car to the avenue, and pedaled back home.

On the way, he was also thinking that Wuyi Academy would provide free food and accommodation to regular students, so after moving out from his aunt's family, the problem of food and accommodation would be temporarily solved. And as long as he achieved good enough grades, part of the tuition could be waived, and he might even get a scholarship. The latter was hard to say, but he was confident that he could do the former, because...

He looked towards the street corner ahead, and the figure who looked exactly like him was standing there, staring at him silently. After walking a few dozen meters and reaching the next intersection, the figure appeared again not far away, as if it was a ghost that he could not get rid of.

But if he were to say it himself, apart from having no self-awareness, this figure was like another self of his in an illusion, so he named it "the second self".

The "second self" appeared when he occupied this body. Interestingly, his original name was Chen Chuan. Apart from age and experience, the two looked almost the same. So he guessed that the appearance of the "second self" was most likely caused by the connection between the "parallel self" or the "self in a different world".

The "second me" can actively or passively take on part or all of the pain he suffers according to his needs, so Shan Xiong's kick at him just now was not useless, it was just borne by the "second me".

Under normal circumstances, his "second self" is separate from him, but once the two overlap, his strength, reaction speed, endurance, etc. will be greatly improved, as if at that moment, there really is another "me" superimposed on him.

However, he believes that if the "second me" is himself, then all of this is actually very reasonable, because whether it is him who suffers the harm or is responsible for the work, isn't it him in the end?

It was precisely because of the existence of his "second self" that he had the confidence to apply for Wuhan University even though he had never received any martial arts training.

But the "second self" also has flaws that cannot be ignored. The first is that it cannot be used indefinitely.

Now the time he overlaps with his "second self" does not exceed thirty seconds a day. Of course, he can use the time separately, but once the total time limit is exceeded, the power of the "second self" will be difficult to borrow.

Another thing is that although the "second self" can bear damage on his behalf, it also has an upper limit. Once the limit is exceeded, it will take time to slowly recover. The manifestation of bearing damage is usually a partial virtual state. If the damage is unbearable, it will disappear like dispersing mist and will not reappear until two to three days later.

Based on his previous experience, after being kicked so hard today, he might need to...

Huh?
He suddenly discovered that there was no sign of emptiness on the "second self". The damage suffered this time seemed to have recovered, and the connection with himself seemed to be closer?
He was surprised and thought about it, and a guess emerged in his mind: this might be the reason why he knocked Shan Xiong down just now?

No, it was not the act of knocking down the opponent itself, but the pleasure and satisfaction he felt after knocking down Shan Xiong. Satisfying him was equivalent to satisfying the "second self". This spiritual resonance deepened the connection between them and brought the "second self" one step closer to the true direction.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was so.

It seems that the time limit for the two to overlap each day may increase, so he can try it again after returning. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited and pedaled faster.

The journey back was very smooth, and they arrived home in less than half an hour. There was no one in the house at this time. Yu Wan must have taken her cousins ​​to the orphanage of the police station.

He washed his face outside, tidied himself up briefly, then returned to his room, hung up his bag, changed his coat, sat on the edge of the bed, took an alarm clock, looked at the time, closed his eyes, closed the second self, and tried to count.

After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at the alarm clock, his eyes revealing joy and excitement.

Just as he guessed, the time of overlapping "second self" increased, about twelve seconds more than the original, which is a big improvement.

But can you increase the time simply by defeating the opponent? Thinking about it carefully, it may be that Shan Xiong is much stronger than himself. If he defeats an opponent of the same level, he may not gain so much pleasure and will not be able to improve so much.

Of course, whether this is really the case can be verified slowly in the future.

He calmed himself down, went outside to get a glass of water, took a few sips and put it down, then rolled up his shirt sleeves, bent down and groped, and dragged out a brown leather suitcase from under the bed.

He carried the suitcase to the table, dialed the password, and finally pressed the lock and slowly opened it. Inside were several notebooks with various deeds sandwiched between the pages, a stack of wrapped photos, and a black metal card that looked like an invitation.

He picked up the metal card. The things in the box were left by his previous parents, and he didn't know what the thing in his hand was originally. But when he went to Wuhan University today, he found that it looked very similar to the "recommendation certificate" for admission that he had seen, except that the color was a little different.

In this case, should I take it out? You know, there is another entrance examination, which is as important as the entrance examination. Besides being exempted from the examination, what other benefits may the "recommendation certificate" have?
But after thinking it over again, he decided to wait.

Because my uncle-in-law's family is very secretive about the cause of death of my parents, so it may bring convenience as well as trouble. Moreover, this recommendation is black, not the silver one he had seen before, so it may have other uses. If he really wants to use it, he needs to figure out the specific situation first.

He had to be careful because the world was not as safe as it seemed.

He put down the metal card, and fumbled out a round and shiny stone from under the box. He looked at it with a dim look in his eyes.

His parents had an old house on the outskirts of the city. His predecessor went back to pack up his things that day. On the way back, he saw a blue luxury car passing by and then lost consciousness.

Afterwards he was able to confirm that his previous incarnation was hit accurately in the heart by this tiny stone and died on the spot. When he woke up again, it was his present self who occupied his body, and his "second me" also appeared at that time.

But who is the murderer and why did he target his predecessor?

"Ring ring ring..."

While he was thinking, the phone suddenly rang in the living room.
