Under One Person: Did Zuo Ruotong and I switch bodies?

Feng Baobao.

Undoubtedly, this is the biggest secret in "One Person" besides the whereabouts of "Wugensheng", and the two are inextricably linked.

Mingchen guessed.

The two secrets may be one and the same.

Even without seeking the truth, the mere fact that it grants "immortality" would inevitably stir up another bloody storm if word got out.

That's why the Xu family took such good care of it.

To avoid leaks.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Xu family and the company that if you want to see Feng Baobao, you either need to have the power to deal with the Xu family, including Feng Baobao, or you have to wait until the original storyline begins.

But that was in 2015.

There are still twelve years to go.

Now, by sheer coincidence, Xu Xiang and Feng Baobao happen to witness Zhang Huaiyi's near-death moment. Even if they don't get close, just a glimpse from afar might yield some insights...

"This is a rare opportunity!"

While cooking noodles, Mingchen pondered, "It's the second half of October now, and Zhang Huaiyi died this year, which means he will definitely appear in a little over two months at most."

  

For such a top-tier extraordinary person, even without using transportation, it would be more than enough time to travel from Shandong to Sichuan and back in just over three months.

"I just hope that my willpower can hold up..." he hoped in his heart.

soon.

Breakfast was ready, and Zhang Chulan had just finished his morning practice. After eating a bowl of hot braised noodles, he immediately pulled Mingchen aside:

"Brother Chen, let's go to the back mountain!"

Urged on by him, the two hurriedly arrived at the depths of the back mountain and stopped at the place where they had sparred before.

"Brother Chen, you'd better watch out!" Zhang Chulan smiled and got into a fighting stance.

"Okay, let's go!"

Although Mingchen has been cultivating for less than four years, with various enhancements, his current strength is quite considerable. In addition, his three years of traveling, studying, and learning from others have also made him proficient in actual combat.

Moreover, he knew Zhang Chulan well. Given the Zhang family's rat-like nature, they would never challenge him unless they were truly confident. He had also heard that the Left Sect Leader had just "completely thrashed" him a few months ago...

"The Golden Light Mantra couldn't turn the tide in a few months, it seems the Thunder Technique has improved."

He smiled inwardly, flicked his finger, and even put one hand behind his back, exuding an air of superiority.

"Hey, you look down on me, don't you?"

Seeing his arrogance, Zhang Chulan smiled inwardly as well. His body shone with golden light, and in a flash, he was in front of him.

Swah——

However, he did not attack. Instead, he dodged towards his left hand behind his back, and golden light surged in his right hand. With a forceful flick, chains materialized.

Splash!

Before Mingchen could react, golden chains wrapped around his body. They were as flexible as snakes and as hard as iron, instantly restraining his joints and making it difficult for him to exert any force.

"So this is your new trick..."

"Golden light solidified?"

Although Zhang Chulan in the original story never showed this move, it was his grandfather's specialty, so it's reasonable that he wouldn't have taught it to him.

boom!

In the next instant, flames rose around Mingchen, their color pure white. This was the "Reverse Life Flame," formed by combining "Reverse Life" and "Red Lotus Technique."

Not only is it hotter and more powerful, but it also has the characteristic of "reverse regeneration" that keeps it alive. It melts the chains as soon as it comes into contact with them, and like a maggot clinging to a bone, it climbs along the golden light and goes towards the source.

"Um?!"

Seeing how strange the fire was, Zhang Chulan was startled and immediately cut off the golden light, but he also missed the opportunity to attack.

But instead of being annoyed, he smiled, because this would make the other party look down on him even more, and only then would the real opportunity come.

"Still hiding..."

Little did he know, his trick had already been seen through by his opponent. Ming Chen raised an eyebrow, his body glowing with jade light, his muscles instantly bulging: "Then let's add fuel to the fire!"

This is the "Chai School of Horizontal Training," the purest form of external training in the world. It doesn't have special effects like the "Golden Bell Cover" or "Iron Shirt," but only pursues the ultimate refinement of the physical body...

boom!

Just one punch.

It shattered the golden light!

"They're here!"

Seeing this, Zhang Chulan was not surprised but delighted, because the moment the golden light shattered, his opponent was also wide open...

Zizizi!

Lightning instantly coalesced, transforming into a giant hand.

Palm Thunder!

"Just as I expected..."

Ming Chen's lips curled into a smile. His left hand, which had been waiting behind his back, suddenly rose, and an invisible force enveloped Zhang Chulan...

Turn around!

wow——

In the blink of an eye, he pulled him in front of him, making him face his moves.

"What?!"

At this moment, without the protection of golden light, Zhang Chulan dared not take the thunder palm head-on. He could only quickly dissipate the "thunder magic" to neutralize the attack...

Snapped!

"You lost!"

Ming Chen patted the boy's head and smiled, "Do you know how you lost?"

"What else could it be? I'm not as good as you... and you even cheated!" Zhang Chulan pouted, pointing at the suddenly extended left hand.

"That's called 'all's fair in war'!"

Ming Chen suddenly became serious: "Chu Lan, you will be roaming the martial world in the future, and the most common trick used by people in the martial world is 'deception.' Whether it's to save your life, rescue someone, or even kill or commit arson, it's the best tactic!"

"And weren't you also cheating? Hiding this 'Palm Thunder' in your hand, trying to make me mistakenly believe that your new move was 'Golden Light Condensation'?"

"Uh, you're right..."

Zhang Chulan blushed slightly.

Ming Chen continued, "Chu Lan, you are actually very intelligent and know how to hide your strength. Although your strength is not as good as mine, it's not like you have no chance at all... you just haven't figured it out yet."

"You must remember, if you are not as strong as your opponent, you must find where you are stronger than them. For example, even though you are good at hiding and deceiving, you can't outsmart me. So how can you win?"

"That's your reason for losing!"

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan fell into deep thought. He then realized that it wasn't that Brother Chen underestimated him; on the contrary, it was he who underestimated Brother Chen.

"yes……"

If you are not better than your opponent in any aspect, such as strength, experience, concealing your weaknesses, using tricks, or even your attitude towards your opponent, then how can you win?

Ming Chen smiled: "You don't need to overthink it. Ultimately, it's because you're too naive..."

"I must continue my cultivation!"

"Brother Chen, I understand!"

With Zhang Chulan's intelligence, he didn't need much guidance to figure it out. He nodded vigorously and grinned, "Next time I challenge you, I'll definitely win!"

"Okay, then let's head back."

On the way back, something suddenly occurred to him: "Speaking of which, Brother Chen, I feel like... you've been acting a little different lately?"

Ming Chen's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged: "Oh? How is it different?"

"Um……"

Zhang Chulan thought for a moment: "You used to be very serious, speaking and acting very formally, and you always liked to lecture, just like my grandfather."

"But lately, you seem much more cheerful, and you enjoy joking and teasing people. Even when you're lecturing, it's not unpleasant to listen... Ah, I don't mean I dislike your previous self..."

pat!

At this moment, Ming Chen, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped and lowered his head. Zhang Chulan thought he was angry, so he carefully walked over and wanted to apologize...

But then he suddenly turned his head and said mysteriously, "Chu Lan, you've heard of...?"

"Dissociative identity disorder?"
