Chapter 63

【Latest Announcement】Tomorrow is May 15th, the anniversary of Qidian, the day with the most benefits. Besides the gift packages, this year's "515 Red Envelope Frenzy" is definitely worth watching. Why would anyone miss out on red envelopes? Set your alarms!

Amidst the fluttering cherry blossoms, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of the promise written there.

Xu Li was responsible for running errands, delivering this good news to the school, especially to Teacher Huang. Although there was a reason for it, everyone already knew the boy's feelings for Teacher Huang, but no one was willing to openly acknowledge it.

As for Yip Man, Jiang Chen naturally went to inform him personally. Although he was a master of the Dan Qi, Yip Man had aged considerably in a short time. Zhang Yongcheng's face was also noticeably pale, clearly indicating that her illness was very serious.

"Master, the school issue has been resolved. This time, I came to give a preliminary diagnosis to your wife. Although I cannot guarantee a cure, I believe I can control the condition to prevent it from worsening." The relationship between the two was good, so Jiang Chen did not intend to keep them in suspense.

Yip Man had already taken Zhang Yongcheng to several hospitals, both Western and Chinese, and the conclusions were unsettling. Jiang Chen had become his last hope. Hearing Jiang Chen's words, he immediately responded, "Then, Chen, I'll leave it to you."

"Don't worry, I'll do my best." Over the years, although Jiang Chen had learned a lot of medical skills, both Chinese and Western, he knew that medicine could not cure all diseases, and Buddhism could only save those with a connection. He had no guarantee of saving Zhang Yongcheng's life, so he could only do his best.

Zhang Yongcheng seemed to sense her husband's tension. She gently held Yip Man's hand and smiled calmly, "The ancients say, 'Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are decided by heaven.' Meeting you in this life is my blessing. If heaven must take my life, I am willing."

The beautiful past, the hardships of war, and the current peaceful and happy life, with her husband, son, and family, Zhang Yongcheng felt that her life was already complete. Even if the time was a bit short and there were still regrets, she had no regrets.

Jiang Chen also respected this mother-in-law, not because she was his master's wife, but because she was a person worthy of respect. Therefore, he treated her with great care, using medicine, acupuncture, and his own martial arts skills without reservation.

Although Huang Liang, Xu Shichang, and others knew that Jiang Chen would soon leave to pursue the legendary realm of martial arts, they all wanted to spend more time with him. However, knowing that he was treating his mother-in-law, they rarely disturbed him, and even if there were any matters, they would not involve Jiang Chen.

It took more than two months, but Jiang Chen finally managed to treat Zhang Yongcheng's condition to a large extent. Although he could not completely cure her, this was already his current limit. His medical skills could only do so much.

Before long, it was the day Jiang Chen was about to leave. On this day, Yip Man and his wife, along with all the disciples of the Wing Chun Kung Fu Hall, gathered for a meal to see Jiang Chen off.

"Master, this is the Bruce Lee I told you about!" While everyone was chatting, Ah Hua led a tall, thin young man over. "You were interested in him, right? Actually, Bruce Lee is also your admirer. He took a day off from the Cha-Cha competition just to meet you."

Bruce Lee looked at Jiang Chen with barely suppressed excitement and said, "Master, hello!"

"Hello." Jiang Chen looked at the young man. At this moment, who could have imagined that he would become the most legendary figure in spreading Chinese martial arts and the founder of Jeet Kune Do!

To think that his former idol was now standing in front of him, calling him "Master" with excitement. At this moment, Jiang Chen felt a sense of surrealism. He couldn't help but reach out and gently pat Bruce Lee's shoulder, "You have great potential and exceptional insight. The future of Chinese martial arts lies in your hands."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Bruce Lee felt honored and surprised. However, when Jiang Chen placed several stacks of martial arts manuals, about a meter high, in front of him, he was speechless. Well, the future of Chinese martial arts, it seems, is a heavy burden:

"Master, you don't have to be so serious, do you? There are so many books. Even flipping through them once would take ten to fifteen days, and to read them all, it would take at least three to five years. What a tough fate!"

Although it was hard to part, the time had come. Jiang Chen took one last look at everyone and said, "This time, I am pursuing my own dream. Whatever the outcome, it is a good thing. Master, Mother, Ah Zheng, and all my fellow disciples, I have nothing more to say. I will take my leave now!"

"Chen, I don't understand what dream you are pursuing, but I hope you take good care of yourself. If... if you can, try to remember to come back and see us!" Zhang Yongcheng sobbed, tears involuntarily streaming down her face.

"Self, heaven, and all beings, but at this moment, I only want to tell you: take care!" The iron-willed master Yip Man's voice also became hoarse.

"Master, take care!" Huang Liang, Xu Shichang, Bruce Lee, and others all raised their fists and said goodbye to this master who had brought great honor to Wing Chun and Chinese martial arts.

"Take care." Jiang Chen nodded lightly, then turned and left. Before parting, he had transferred a stream of innate true qi to Zhang Yongcheng. With this true qi, although it could not guarantee her a long life, it could ensure that her cancer would not flare up for ten years. After ten years, everything would be left to fate.

Leaving the sight of others, he came to a desolate wilderness. Just as the final deadline arrived, a purple beam of light descended, landing at his feet, guiding him back to the broken cycle of the world.

After a brief adjustment, Jiang Chen discovered that next to the cycle gate, another huge stone tablet had appeared. Like the previous two, it was about ten feet high, three feet wide, and one foot thick, carved from a single piece of white rock, with black characters engraved three inches deep.

"Cycle Participant Jiang Chen, Second Cycle:

Initial World: Master Legend;

Task Completion: 100%;

Overall Evaluation: Good;

Congratulations, Cycle Participant Jiang Chen. Given your good performance in the second cycle, you will receive an additional one-time detoxification pill, which can neutralize any poison without limit!"

This was the content recorded on the second stone tablet. Meanwhile, the third stone tablet displayed a countdown, just like last time, allowing him to stay for twenty-four hours.

Jiang Chen checked the additional task rewards in his wristwatch space. Although the detoxification pill was a one-time use, there was no doubt that its effectiveness was truly miraculous. With this pill, in a certain sense, he had an extra life.

Unfortunately, this time the evaluation was only good, otherwise, he might have received another wish-granting dragon pearl. Well, he was being too greedy.

This time, he received a one-star dragon pearl. If he could obtain a dragon pearl reward in each cycle, then the day he collected all seven dragon pearls would not be far off. With three wishes, how should he make them? Unconsciously, he looked forward to entering the cycle world sooner.

As if sensing his thoughts, before the countdown reached zero, the cycle gate opened in his mind the moment he thought about it!
