From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

# Chapter 510 The Enhancement of Friendship - Duanmu Ying

Upon learning of Isaac Taber's talent, Lu Jin's eyes widened slightly.

Who is Zhang Zhiwei?

The number one young talent of Longhu Mountain, his strength surpasses all other young talents except Jiang Liu, and even Lu Jin cannot defeat him.

Does Isaac also have that kind of strength?

"Zhang Zhiwei? I've read the newspapers before. They said he dueled with you on West Lake... Is Isaac really as powerful as him?" Duanmu Ying had learned about Zhang Zhiwei's strength through the newspapers, but she never expected that there would be a young person in the West who could rival him.

"The world is big, isn't it?"

Jiang Liu didn't answer directly, "However, we need to compare the strength of Zhang Zhiwei and Isaac—"

Although I haven't fought the latter myself, based on my understanding of alchemy, he's most likely the type who isn't good at close combat.

of course.

This so-called "lack of proficiency" is only relative to Jiang Liu, Zhang Zhiwei, and others. Compared to others, with their innate talent of abundant Qi, they can crush most people as long as they "enchant" their fists and feet.

However, Flamel Academy is a magic academy, and Isaac's forte is naturally casting spells with a wand.

"Not good at close combat?"

Recalling Smith and Stephen Whitey's abilities, Lu Jin nodded, realizing that magicians and alchemists were indeed better at ranged spellcasting and enhancing physical abilities.

Close combat—

Based on Lu Jin's observation of the two, they didn't have much of a method. It seemed that they relied on the powerful physique brought by magic to crush their enemies, but because they didn't cultivate their life force, their physical functions were far weaker than those of the Qi Refining System.

However, considering that alchemy includes techniques for human transmutation, and that Brother Jiang used this to gain invulnerability and immunity to all magic, then there must also be Western alchemists who are primarily focused on close combat...

···

three days later.

With two letters of recommendation, Jiang Liu and Lu Jin were already unofficial students in Cairo, as was Duanmu Ying.

Perhaps due to their disdain for informal international students from the East, the staff in the academic affairs office did not pay much attention to Duanmu Ying's excuse that she had "lost her recommendation letter" and directly granted her an informal international student status as well.

As long as you pay your tuition on time, that's fine.

"I'm starting to have some doubts about whether this college is reliable." After borrowing money from Jiang Liu and paying the tuition, Duanmu Ying began to distrust Cairo University's standards and advanced practices.

"This is Cairo University's contempt for us Chinese from the East. Because China is lagging behind the world and is bullied by Western countries, we are also not valued."

Jiang Liu shrugged and said to Duanmu Ying, "Perhaps in their eyes, it's quite normal for you to lose your 'letter of recommendation'."

Duanmu Ying was speechless, but the previous experience was still vivid in her mind, proving that Jiang Liu's words were true.

Foreigners naturally look down on these international students from China!

"Hmph, just you wait and see. Once I establish a medical university in China, Westerners will need recommendation letters to study here!" Duanmu Ying was determined to thoroughly understand the Western medical system and then integrate it into her own system to create a method that could cure all diseases in the world.

Moreover, she plans to take on many disciples and establish an academy in the future.

As a physician, if I were to create a method that could cure all diseases in the world, wouldn't that be the very purpose of eliminating all diseases in the world?

The best way is to spread the word widely.

At least that's what Duanmu Ying was thinking at that moment.

"After graduation, would you like to come directly to our Confucian Academy's Mingxin Academy?"

Jiang Liu extended an invitation to Duanmu Ying, saying, "We intend to demystify superhumans, superpowers, and cultivation techniques, so that more people can understand the path of Qi cultivation and self-cultivation."

In fact, my idea is almost identical to your goal of curing all diseases in the world through spiritual practice; it's just a matter of giving someone a fish versus teaching them how to fish.

As the ancients said, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for

But in my view, as long as the world hasn't truly reached a state of perfect harmony, giving a man a fish and teaching him how to fish are not contradictory, and are even equally important. What do you think?

After some thought, Duanmu Ying recalled the various patients she had encountered at Jishetang and had to admit that Jiang Liu's words were true.

A kind person gives a man a fish.

Those who preach, teach, and resolve doubts teach others how to fish.

Once she, Duanmu Ying, has learned Western medical knowledge and compared it with the traditional medicine of her hometown, if she can create a new method, she can be a doctor to heal the sick and save lives, or a teacher to impart knowledge, teach skills, and answer questions.

In addition, she just said that she also wants to open a world-renowned medical school in China... Even with the help of her family, Duanmu Ying doesn't think it would be so easy to open one by herself.

I don't have the resources.

Furthermore.

Duanmu Ying knew that her elders were all old-fashioned and stubborn, and that they would probably pressure her into blind dates and marriage as soon as she returned home…

hiss--

Thinking about this, Duanmu Ying suddenly realized that instead of recruiting soldiers, establishing academies, and creating new methods in the future, it would be better to join an existing academy directly.

"Then should I call you Boss?" Duanmu Ying, who knew something about Mingxin Academy, was already interested and couldn't help but ask.

"Of course," Jiang Liu said, counting on his fingers. "After all, I've saved you many times: once when the Alexander sank, once when I 'ascended' on the Jianmu tree..."

"Screw you!"

Duanmu Ying raised her leg to kick Jiang Liu's butt, but Jiang Liu dodged it naturally and shouted, "You repay kindness with enmity!"

"What do you mean by repaying kindness with enmity? This is how I express my gratitude!" Duanmu Ying said, hooking her arm around Lu Jin's shoulder. "Don't you agree, little brother Lu Jin?"

Lu Jin slapped Duanmu Ying's arm away impatiently, saying speechlessly, "Don't drag me into this, thank you. Also, can you stop calling me 'little brother'? You're not older than me, are you?"

"Who said that? I asked Jiang Liu a couple of days ago, and I'm two years older than you!" Duanmu Ying hooked her arm around Lu Jin's neck and chuckled, "I also heard that you're the 'Bai Jiao' of the 'Qing Bai Shuang Jiao' of Yu Hang... I didn't realize that such a handsome boy like you would have a fetish for cross-dressing!"

"It's not women's clothing! That bastard who runs the newspaper made up this nonsense to attract attention!"

To be honest.

Lu Jin thought he was already able to calmly face the teasing about "Bai Jiao", but when faced with Duanmu Ying's amused gaze, he found that he still couldn't hold back.

So, he could only stare at Jiang Liu with resentful eyes—

The fact that Duanmu Ying knew his identity as "Bai Jiao" clearly meant that his good older brother had told him!

It really is!

Can this kind of thing be leaked?

Jiang Liu, however, kept his eyes down, seemingly oblivious to the situation.

However, it was precisely because Duanmu Ying, Jiang Liu, and Lu Jin went through the Guixu incident and got to know each other, and because of these daily interactions, they became friends.

And so, the three of them chatted and laughed all the way to the library...

# Chapter 511 Reincarnation Begins Again

library.

Evelyn and Jonathan were already waiting.

Upon seeing Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying arrive, Evelyn glanced at her watch, nodded, and said, "Very punctual! That's a characteristic of Easterners!"

“Ms. Evelyn, please don’t have any stereotypes about us. Besides, isn’t punctuality a virtue?” Jiang Liu asked with a smile.

“Punctuality is indeed a virtue, and you are quite different from other international students from the East, daring to question your teacher?” Evelyn became curious.

In her view, most international students from the East are shy, cautious, or even insecure, and look like they are easy to bully.

Confident Easterners like Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying are rare.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Jiang Liu smiled and brushed it off, saying, "Please rest assured, Teacher Evelyn, with us here, this archaeological mission—to find the Sun Sutra you desire—will not only be a resounding success, but your safety will certainly be guaranteed."

"How should I put it? I'm not used to people like you Asians who are so confident," Evelyn complained, but she was also willing to accept Jiang Liu and the others' uniqueness.

Evelyn then led them to the library director, Terence, who was also a history professor at Cairo University.

In fact, the professor opposed Evelyn's search for the legendary Hamunaptra, but because Evelyn's father had donated to Cairo University, he had no choice but to give her the opportunity. However, before that, he "accidentally" destroyed half of the map leading to Hamunaptra.

"Only half of the map?" Upon learning that Terence had destroyed half of the map, Jiang Liu realized that the so-called "legend" might involve alchemists and magicians.

Perhaps ancient Egypt was a civilization built on alchemy and ancient witchcraft!

The library director clearly knew something...

Since he was unwilling to talk about it, Jiang Liu naturally couldn't force him and planned to explore the truth about the City of Death, Hamunaptra, on his own later.

Besides Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying, who joined Evelyn's expedition, there were three other people: Isaac Taber, Hermione, and Ron.

Evelyn was going to do an archaeological excavation under the name of Cairo University, so she had to bring other students with her, but she didn't expect it to be these three guys.

What a small world!

Not really.

In terms of grudges, the two sides haven't reached the point where it has to be a fight to the death. However, if Ron keeps talking so foully, Jiang Liu can't guarantee that he will be as good-tempered as he was three days ago.

Isaac, Ron, and Hermione were also surprised to encounter these three in the group. They looked at each other in bewilderment and could only pretend not to know Jiang Liu and the others under Evelyn's gaze, and begin to introduce themselves.

"Your name is Isaac Taber, right?"

Jiang Liu grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and shook hands with him. "You truly are a handsome man, one in a million. You must have many girls chasing after you, right?"

"Well·····"

Isaac was momentarily unsure whether Jiang Liu's overly familiar manner was an act or simply his natural personality.

Regardless, Jiang Liu's attitude relieved Isaac of a great weight: "You're really joking!"

"This is no joke."

Who knew—

Hermione, who had also figured out Jiang Liu's temperament, chimed in with a hint of resentment, "At Flammel College, you were surrounded by a whole bunch of women."

Upon hearing this, Isaac felt somewhat embarrassed.
