The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 417 Loss of Memory

That day, he was worried that Lei Ting would get injured in the duel with Gu Zhan, so he planned to deal with Gu Zhan for Lei Ting in advance. Unexpectedly, Lei Ting not only did not appreciate it, but also scolded him harshly. Those cold words were like sharp blades, piercing his heart.

In desperation, Zhong Wanjun could only come to the broadcasting room, trying to find a little comfort from the memories of the past in this familiar place.

"Sigh~"

The memory was interrupted by a slight tingling sensation. I only felt a pain in the back of my neck, but I didn't feel anything unusual afterwards, so I didn't take it to heart.

……

"Zhong Wanjun, why are you wearing the Cantaloupe High School uniform?"

Jin Bao San's sharp voice broke the morning peace of KO One. Jin Bao San was preparing for class when he saw Zhong Wan Jun walk into the classroom wearing the uniform of another university. He was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out of his head.

"Is there something wrong, classmate?"

Zhong Wanjun asked calmly, his face full of doubt. His question was like a stone dropped into a calm lake, instantly making Jin Baosan feel like he was struck by lightning.

"Of course that's not right. We, KO One, are in Guava High School, so we should wear Guava High School uniforms. Besides, you actually called me classmate?"

Jin Baosan jumped up and down and shouted with an exaggerated expression.

"I'm Jin Bao San, don't you recognize me?"

Zhong Wanjun was once again bewildered, and his expression made the other members of KO One unable to sit still. Qiu Qiu quickly raised his hand and pointed at himself, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Zhong Wanjun, do you remember me?"

Zhong Wanjun stared at Qiu Qiu's face, searching hard in his mind, frowning, and finally shook his head slowly. Qiu Qiu's face turned pale in an instant, and his loss was beyond words.

"Wanjun...you..."

Lei Ting could no longer remain calm and suddenly stood up from her seat. Seeing Lei Ting, some images flashed through Zhong Wanjun's mind. He still remembered Lei Ting.

But strangely, his first reaction was to avoid it. He frantically took a few steps back.

"Hey, today is not April Fools' Day!"

Wang Dadong was so surprised by Zhong Wanjun's unusual behavior that he couldn't close his mouth. It was common knowledge in the entire KO One class and even in the university community that Zhong Wanjun liked Lei Ting.

In the past, when Zhong Wanjun saw Lei Ting, he would either go over to her immediately or stay away from her. But today, he turned around and ran out of the classroom as if he had seen a flood or a beast.

"Snapped!"

Just as Lei Ting was about to chase out, Zhong Wanjun was dragged in by Fang Mu by the collar.

"You still want to skip my class?"

Fang Mu glanced at Zhong Wanjun and knew what was going on. He knew that Zhong Wanjun had been infected by a miasma that would cause him neither life nor death.

"Ultimate Encyclopedia: Miasma of Undying and Undying: Essentially a miasma from the demonic realm, it requires the accumulation of numerous demonic corpses, followed by decay and a series of complex reactions to produce. Upon absorption, demons become unconscious, while humans become the living dead, becoming demonized warrior corpses."

"Everyone, sit down and attend class!"

Fang Mu's commanding voice echoed throughout the classroom. Everyone sat down obediently. Although Zhong Wanjun was filled with doubts, he could only find an empty seat at the back of the classroom.

He subconsciously checked his desk and found that although there were no notes in the books, his name was written on every one of them, and the handwriting was indeed his. Zhong Wanjun was even more confused. He tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember some recent events.

In class, Zhong Wanjun was absent-minded. Those familiar yet unfamiliar scenes made him increasingly uneasy. After class, Lei Ting walked quickly to Zhong Wanjun, her eyes full of concern.

"Wanjun, what's wrong with you?"

"Lei Ting..."

Seeing Lei Ting walking towards him quickly, Zhong Wanjun turned around and tried to escape as if by reflex, but Lei Ting was quick-witted and grabbed his arm.

"Zhong Wanjun, what's wrong with you? Why don't you remember your classmates from KO One? Have you lost your memory?"

Lei Ting bombarded Zhong Wanjun with a barrage of questions. Zhong Wanjun frowned, speechless and silent in the face of Lei Ting's questioning.

"Don't ask anymore. If I'm not mistaken, Zhong Wanjun was struck by the miasma of immortality!"

Teacher Fang Mu slowly walked down from the podium, his eyes fixed on Zhong Wanjun. The students looked at each other in bewilderment.

"The miasma of neither life nor death?!" Wang Dadong instantly perked up and asked loudly.

"Fang Mu, are you talking about the immortal miasma that the Black Dragon used to refine the Martial Corpse?"

Fang Mu nodded heavily.

Hearing the affirmative answer, the expression on Wang Dadong's face changed from astonishment to anxiety.

"It's over, it's actually the miasma of immortality!"

He was extremely anxious. If it was the Black Dragon that controlled Zhong Wanjun, he and Fang Mu could challenge the Black Dragon in a duel. Defeating the Black Dragon would free Zhong Wanjun from control.

But now Zhong Wanjun had simply inhaled the miasma of immortality, and the toxin had completely penetrated his body. Although he was not yet controlled by the black dragon, under the influence of the toxin, Zhong Wanjun would eventually become an emotionless warrior corpse.

"Okay, I have a way to solve Zhong Wanjun's problem, you don't have to worry!"

Fang Mu looked at Zhong Wanjun again, estimating that it would take at least a week for him to become a complete martial corpse. As long as he could prevent him from being controlled by the black dragon during this period, he could find a way to break it.

"That's good!"

The students of KO One breathed a sigh of relief, but before Fang Mu left, he called Lei Ting and Zhong Wanjun to his office for a talk.

"sit!"

Fang Mu gestured to Lei Ting and Zhong Wanjun to find a place to sit, and then confessed to them.

"Zhong Wanjun was infected with the miasma of neither life nor death. This thing comes from the demonic world and has demonic properties. If Zhong Wanjun cannot get rid of the miasma of neither life nor death, he will eventually lose all his memories and become a living dead who only knows how to fight!"

Fang Mu spoke as calmly as possible, so that Lei Ting and Zhong Wanjun could accept the fact that Zhong Wanjun's condition was gradually worsening.

"To be honest, I've found a way to eliminate the miasma of immortality, but... this method has a very strong side effect. Although Zhong Wanjun can avoid becoming a martial corpse, his combat power index will also be wiped out, and he will become a Muggle!"

Zhong Wanjun and Lei Ting looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

"If I lose my combat power index...how can I protect Lei Ting?"

Zhong Wanjun felt extremely painful. The only thing he could be proud of was that his combat power index was higher than Lei Ting's. If he lost his combat power index, wouldn't he become useless?

"No, I can't accept it!"

After saying this, Zhong Wanjun ran out of the office, leaving only Fang Mu and Lei Ting.

"Teacher Fang... can you help Zhong Wanjun get rid of the miasma of immortality? I don't want him to die!"

Lei Ting's eyes were filled with tears. As a good friend since childhood, she naturally didn't want to see him die.
