Chapter 19 Having a Photographic Memory!

It's strange. It's already eleven o'clock. Who could be calling me?

With a look of confusion, Lu Feng checked the caller ID. It was a strange number.

To be honest, he didn't have many acquaintances in Jiyang City. His former classmates and friends either continued their studies in university or went their separate ways. They had already lost contact with each other a year ago. He came to this strange city of Jiyang just to avoid being found by them.

Still feeling puzzled, Lu Feng answered the phone. Before he could say anything, a deep voice came from the other end.

"Hello, is that Lu Feng?"

Lu Feng felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment. Then he said, "This is Lu Feng. Who are you?"

The tone on the other end became somewhat excited, and the person said loudly, "I'm Lei Heng. I've finally found you."

Lei Heng?

Lu Feng was even more confused. What did this guy want by calling him? Was the beating he gave them last time not enough? Whatever the reason, he really didn't want to have anything to do with these people anymore.

He gave a light cough, and his tone turned cold. He said indifferently, "What do you want from me? If it's about parkour, don't even mention it. I don't have the time to play with you. Come back after you've practiced your parkour skills for a few more years."

Hearing this, Lei Heng felt a surge of anger in his heart. Did he really have to practice for a few more years to be able to compete with the other person? Were they really that bad? His mouth twitched a few times. Remembering the humiliation last time, he　can't wait to slapping Lu Feng to death.

After taking a few deep breaths, he managed to calm down his raging emotions and said in a solemn voice, "Our strength may not be stronger than yours, but that doesn't mean there's no one in the world who can beat you! Didn't you say that we could challenge you at any time? I'm calling you today just to challenge you!"

"A challenge? Are you still sending the six of you?"

Lu Feng sneered.

Hearing the mockery in Lu Feng's tone, Lei Heng snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! It's not the six of us. It's someone else, an external helper we invited. Aren't you supposed to be very strong? This time, let you see what a real master is like! So, will you accept the challenge or not?"

After saying these words, Lei Heng's face burned with embarrassment. For him, it was really embarrassing to ask for help when his own strength was not enough. He really didn't want to do this, but this was also a good opportunity to put out Lu Feng's arrogance, so as the team leader, he called Lu Feng.

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then a cold glint flashed in his eyes. It seemed that the lesson he gave them last time wasn't enough!

Invite an external helper? Hmph! They just want someone to take revenge, don't they?

However, in this day and age, if you want to regain your honor, you naturally need to have absolute confidence. I hope you have the strength!

Lu Feng had already decided to accept their challenge in his heart. After all, he had to stand by what he said! And he must give the external helper they invited a good beating, otherwise, troubles would keep coming one after another! Moreover, he had started to like parkour again. With the help of his inner qi, doing parkour was like adding wings to a tiger. However, he just wanted to have some fun with it. He didn't plan to develop it professionally. His dream was still to become a doctor who could heal the sick and save the dying.

Lu Feng was full of confidence in this competition.

No matter how good a parkour master was, with the support of his inner qi, even if there was a big gap in skills between him and those professionally trained parkour elites, this extreme sport was all about tricks and excitement. He wouldn't lose to them.

"Okay, I accept your challenge. When and where?"

Lu Feng said without hesitation.

Lei Heng on the other end of the phone was delighted. He was really afraid that Lu Feng would refuse. He didn't expect Lu Feng to agree so easily, making the words he had prepared next useless. If Lu Feng really refused stubbornly, the 50,000 yuan that Gao Chengzhi spent would be in vain. Even if there was no competition, Gao Chengzhi had already promised Wei Xu that the deposit wouldn't be refunded, and there was a possibility of getting on the wrong side of the narrow-minded and extremely arrogant Wei Xu.

The parkour circle is neither too big nor too small. In this circle, Wei Xu is considered a master and has some status. If they offended him and made him hold a grudge, it would be difficult for them to move forward in the future.

Lei Heng also didn't hesitate and immediately said, "At six o'clock in the evening on Saturday a week later, still in the dense forest area of the Cultural Square. We will definitely arrive early and wait for you. Lu Feng, I know you're strong, but this time, I will definitely make you lose miserably! Of course, if you're afraid, you can choose not to come."

Lu Feng snorted coldly and said in a cold voice, "All right, I remember. Don't brag too much in advance, or it will be hard to end things on that day!"

After saying that, Lu Feng hung up the phone directly, threw the phone onto the bedside, and then went to bed.

His originally good mood was completely ruined by this phone call.

They just won't leave me alone. They're so persistent. They really deserve a good lesson!

Lu Feng also had other concerns. If he won against that external helper this time, would Lei Heng invite even stronger people to challenge him? Then there would be one trouble after another, just like poking a hornet's nest.

How can I make sure they only challenge me once?

Lu Feng fell into deep thought and gradually fell asleep...

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Lei Heng snorted angrily. Now he even had the urge to kill Lu Feng!

This damn guy is so arrogant and disrespectful! If I don't teach him a good lesson, I won't be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart!

Now Lei Heng had no burden in his heart and couldn't wait for next Saturday to come quickly.

However, thinking of Wei Xu's powerful parkour skills, a fierce look flashed in Lei Heng's eyes. He had already made up his mind that when that guy lost the competition, he must humiliate him severely! Let this arrogant guy know that there's always someone better out there!

Thinking of this, Lei Heng remembered Gao Chengzhi, who was still waiting for the news, and immediately dialed his number.

...

The next morning, Lu Feng got up early. After washing up, he felt full of energy.

He looked at his watch and smiled bitterly. It was only half past five. There were still two and a half hours until the time Liu Huan told him to go to work in the morning. Moreover, it only took him about twenty to thirty minutes to get to the medical clinic from his place. So what should he do with the remaining time?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Feng reached out and took the medical book "Basic Knowledge of Acupuncture and Moxibustion" and started reading it. His memory was the best in the morning, so he might as well memorize more things now.

The more Lu Feng read, the more fascinated he became. He even forgot where he was and immersed himself completely in the medical book.

Half an hour later, Lu Feng had an idea. He immediately closed the medical book, closed his eyes, and silently recalled the medical content he had read in the past half hour.

After a while, Lu Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with excitement.

He had actually memorized all the content he had read in half an hour!

And this was after reading it only once, without reading it a second time!

How could this be possible?

Lu Feng was very confident in his memory, but memorizing a book in half an hour was really strange. He was sure that he had only started reading this book yesterday and had just finished reading it once half an hour ago.

What was going on? Could it be that he really had a photographic memory? But that was a trait only possessed by absolute geniuses. With his mediocre aptitude, how could he have a photographic memory!

What on earth was going on? Was he dreaming?

Lu Feng pinched himself hard. The intense pain made him take a sharp breath.

This wasn't a dream!

But what was going on? Why had his memory suddenly become so good?

Lu Feng was greatly puzzled. The smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a frown, looking completely confused.

Soon, Lu Feng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

His inner qi had made a small breakthrough last night. Could it be that his mind had also become clearer and his memory ability had been enhanced as a result?

Yes, it must be like this!

Lu Feng was convinced that it was because of his inner qi. After all, having such a clear mind and greatly enhanced memory after just sleeping could only be attributed to this reason!

To verify whether he really had a photographic memory, Lu Feng picked up a novel in the room and started reading it. He didn't have any other medical books at hand. The only remaining one was the medical theory book, and Doctor Shang had told him not to read it, so he didn't dare to read it now. As an apprentice, of course, he had to trust his master completely.

At half past six, Lu Feng casually threw the novel on the bed, then closed his eyes and silently recalled the content he had just read.

A few minutes later, the smile on Lu Feng's face grew wider and wider.

Although he hadn't achieved the legendary photographic memory, he had already memorized eight-tenths of what he had read in the morning. If he read it again, he was absolutely confident that he could memorize all the content he had read.

With an excited smile, Lu Feng looked at the time, packed his things, took the "Basic Knowledge of Acupuncture and Moxibustion" and strode out of his residence. He ate something casually on the way and then rushed to the medical clinic.

When he arrived at the small alley where the medical clinic was located,Logically speaking, it was the time to go to work in the morning, and there should have been a lot of people passing by. However, on his way to the medical clinic, Lu Feng only came across two primary school students who were going to school together, carrying schoolbags on their backs. 

Lu Feng smiled bitterly in his heart. Although he didn't understand why Shang Wende had opened the medical clinic in this place, he was just an apprentice, and an apprentice who still owed the tuition fee at that. Naturally, he didn't dare to express any opinions.

When he entered the medical clinic, Liu Huan hadn't arrived yet. Only Doctor Shang Wende was sitting on an old-fashioned pear wood chair by the door of the medical clinic reading a book.

A smile appeared on Lu Feng's face. He stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Good morning, Doctor Shang!"

Shang Wende looked up at Lu Feng, gave a "hmm" and nodded. Then his gaze returned to the book. He waved his arm and pointed inside the door, saying indifferently, "You should come early every day from now on and clean the medical clinic."
