My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!

Chapter 429: Chapter 286: Obsession Leads to Destruction

"Uncle, are we really going to do this?"

The next day, in Anxi, a canyon scenic spot.

Xiao Yu looked up at an artificial platform extending from one side of the canyon.

A large sign next to it even advertised...

"Bungee Jumping: Limitless Thrills, Unforgettable Experiences!"

"Yep! Let’s do it! Our mission today is to enjoy it all day long!"

Meng Lang, not knowing where he got a telescope from, was peering down at the canyon cliffs below the platform as if searching for something.

"But aren’t we here to help Sister Weiwei climb the mountain?"

"This is helping!"

"What?"

Haitang looked puzzled on the side.

They were to climb the mountain tomorrow, and at such a critical time, they were actually messing around practicing some secret scripture with Meng Lang, as if this were a martial arts novel?

Yan Weiwei must have been fed some sort of love potion to actually seem like she believed it.

At that moment, Yan Weiwei came over with someone in uniform who looked like a staff member.

"All set, we’ve booked this place for today!"

Money talks!

"Great! Let’s go up then!"

Within a short while, Yan Weiwei was geared up in a bungee harness with the help of the staff.

Yan Weiwei tugged at the harness on her body, still unable to resist asking Meng Lang,

"Are you sure this so-called ’external force assist method’ works?"

"Of course I’m not sure!"

"I..."

"That’s obvious, isn’t it? You’re the first one to practice it, whether it works or not is up to you. Besides, we’re just treating a dead horse as if it were alive."

"What do you mean treating a dead horse as if it were alive? You make it sound like I definitely can’t do it without this scripture!" Yan Weiwei rolled her eyes.

"Hehe!"

If you could grab a second or third place, maybe I would believe the cosmic explosion theory myself.

But to think of winning the championship from ninth place, that would be absurd...

This scripture is indeed your only hope right now.

Yes, the "external force assist" mentioned in the "Overclocking Scripture" refers to this... "bungee jumping"!

When Meng Lang first read it, he too thought it sounded ludicrous—there are so many people in the world who enjoy bungee jumping, yet hardly anyone has mastered the skill of consciousness flow.

But after giving it some careful thought, he realized that this method might not be entirely implausible.

As a skills holder, Meng Lang had personally realized that the key to unlocking brain overclocking lay in capturing the elusive state of "Unity of Heaven and Man."

It’s like the moment Sun Wukong transforms into a Super Saiyan driven by extreme anger.

Whether or not one can have an epiphany depends on whether both physical and mental states are properly aligned at that moment.

How to mobilize the body and emotions, challenge one’s nerves, and stimulate the human brain to unlock its innate potential is indeed the crucial step!

And what could challenge human nerves and stimulate adrenaline better than extreme sports?

The scripture introduces not just bungee jumping.

Skydiving, rock climbing, high-altitude freehand... among other extreme sports can all stimulate nerves and create an environment conducive to brain overclocking.

Simply put, it’s all about stimulation!

However, considering the actual conditions, bungee jumping has become the safer and more repeatable external force assist method.

Given that Yan Weiwei herself has never succeeded with this method before, and this training session is so short, Meng Lang actually doesn’t have high hopes.

If it could help Yan Weiwei advance her strength, that would be great; if not...

He had decided that if it really came down to it, the "Hero of Guanzhong" would just have to step up and take the challenge...

Too bad to achieve his goal, he had to be a member of the "Twelve Road Spring Leg delegation" and couldn’t hide his identity, otherwise setting up another masked hero would have been more his style.

"We’re about 60 meters above the water surface here."

Meng Lang walked to the railing, looked down, then turned to Yan Weiwei.

"I just observed that there’s a bird’s nest about 30 meters above the water surface on the cliff.

Your training goal for today is to clearly see how many chicks are inside!"

"Hmm..."

Everyone stared at Meng Lang with peculiar looks in their eyes.

The person responsible for safety on site, standing nearby, was even more bewildered.

External assistance? Training?

What on earth are these guys talking about?

It sounds like they reserved the venue today with some training in mind.

But... seeing how many chicks there are? What the heck is that about?

Jumping from this height, anyone who can keep their eyes open during free fall is considered brave, but they’d still be disoriented.

And you want to spot exactly how many chicks are in a bird’s nest while you’re jumping?

That’s nonsense!

No matter how focused your mental power is, all you’d see at that speed would just be a blur, right?

This guy looks spirited enough, but could he have a problem with his brain?

"Hmm? Is there a problem?" Meng Lang asked, seeing Yan Weiwei not speaking, and just staring at him with a weird look in her eyes.

This method is very scientific. Just because ordinary people can’t do it, doesn’t mean stream-of-consciousness can’t.

When you can finally see how many chicks are in the nest, that will also be when you have mastered stream-of-consciousness!

No problem there!

"No, it’s just weird... Didn’t you say you were afraid of heights?"

Yan Weiwei looked at him suspiciously.

"This is 60 meters above the water surface, about as high as a 20-story building. You stand at the edge and look down, and you’re not scared?"

"Um..."

You really caught me off guard with your focus...

"Cough! Actually, I am inwardly fearful, I just forcefully calm myself on the surface." Meng Lang shifted his feet slightly to distance himself from the edge of the platform.

"Inwardly fearful?" Yan Weiwei pulled the corner of her mouth, then pointed her finger to the side.

"Isn’t that a true depiction of being inwardly fearful?"

Meng Lang turned his head in confusion and saw Fan Shigang, a big man about six feet tall, clinging tightly to a column, his face paling and legs weakening at the sight below him, unable to stand steadily.

Meng Lang: "..."

What a team, pigs!

He gave a resigned cough and explained, "This just shows the importance of courage. I am the type of person whose face becomes calmer the more fearful my heart is.

It’s like I’m afraid of death, but death has never been able to scare me.

If you can’t overcome fear, you’ll just be dominated by it."

"Oh~ Uncle, you’re so cool!" Xiao Yu clapped her hands, not fully understanding but impressed nonetheless.

Yan Weiwei believed him since he had paranoid delusions but had also shielded her from bullets, proving his unique contradictory nature with his own action that "I am afraid of dying, but death has never been able to scare me".

Fan Shigang was shame-faced, masters are indeed masters, their mental realms are higher than others, admirable indeed...

Only Lin Haitang had a strange expression on his face.

Well... it sounded quite positive at first, but upon closer consideration, if you’ve overcome fear, how can you still claim to have a fear of heights? Are you playing word games?

"Cough! If there’s no problem, then what are we waiting for? Concentrate, regulate your breathing, get in the zone, and jump with peace of mind!"

Yan Weiwei rolled her eyes.

What do you mean ’jump with peace of mind’? Can’t you find another phrase?

Still, she did as told and stood at the edge of the platform, trying her best to regulate her breathing and relax her mind, immersing herself in the special state she had contemplated all day yesterday based on the secret manual...

This time, do or die!

Then... a leap of faith...

...

Elsewhere.

"Where did they go today?"

"Canyon scenic area. According to Shigang, it seems they are planning to go bungee jumping," Kong Wu said.

Yan Feng frowned upon hearing this.

"Bungee jumping? We’re climbing the mountain tomorrow, shouldn’t they be conserving their energy instead of bungee jumping?"

"Heh, you know, young people, it’s normal for them to want to have fun," Kong Wu wasn’t very concerned.

Yan Feng shook his head, his eyes conveying a certain frustration.

Before a martial artist’s competition, the worst things are to be impetuous and irritable, especially with such thrilling activities!

Are they truly taking this seriously?

He originally thought Weiwei was quite determined this time to make a bet with him and would take this matter very seriously, but it seemed like she didn’t care at all!

Maybe the three-year agreement made on a whim back then was a mistake?

Sigh! Playing is the downfall of ambition!
