Chapter 311: Chapter 189 Cease-Blades Reward, Extraordinary Skill: True Martial Lv1! (4K)_2
Apart from teaching the martial arts of the Hidden Dragon School, Xue Jing also taught her various other skills.
Skills like Combat Skills, Running, and Aiming—Xue Jing could control Shichan's body through Qi Force, making slight adjustments to her habits and power exertion, which also increased his experience during teaching.
Teaching her was like teaching himself.
Moreover, the effect of the [Teaching] skill, aside from gaining Experience Points for Xue Jing's other skills, also revealed its true function to him.
It was that the higher the level, the better the quality of teaching.
Whatever he taught, as the level of teaching increased, Shichan found it increasingly easier to absorb the knowledge and made faster progress.
This allowed her to make extraordinarily rapid progress in just a few days; her strength increased so swiftly that it significantly surprised Zong Jinkui, who continuously praised Xue Jing for his excellent teaching, extremely delighted.
Li Qi had no disciples to teach, so he led a leisurely life, joyously zipping around in his wheelchair, flipping up the skirts of high school girls.
Xue Jing gained a considerable amount of experience through his teaching process and was exceedingly happy as well.
A triple win. A world where no one got hurt was achieved.
Shichan: Huh?
Meanwhile, the transfer of the Tiger Soul Dojo's premises was also completed, all the ordinary disciples went back to their homes, and the direct disciples headed to the Inner Ring's Yuan City, pledging to go under the discipleship of Lin Qingsheng, a disciple of Zong Jinkui.
Since Zong Jinkui had smashed a huge hole in the premises in a moment of agitation when Shichan was captured, repairs were needed, so Li Qi decided to renovate it as well.
The renovation was expected to take about a month, at which time it would be the grand move of the Hidden Dragon Dojo.
...
Four days later.
Xue Jing's head sprouted Lightning Dragon Horn, and his body was wrapped in silvery-white Dragon Thunder, slowly calming the blood that was boiling due to the practice of the Armor Shaking Skill Blood Training volume.
After recovering with Life Force and Dragon Thunder Electrotherapy, he opened his panel and took a glance.
[Fitness Lv10 (10000/?)]
[Health Cultivation Lv10 (3278/?)]
[Cooking Lv7 (320/4500)]
[Running Lv9 (7290/8000)]
[Charm Art Lv10 (10000+/?)]
[Aiming Lv9 (6733/8000)]
[Fighting Lv10 (3624/?)]
[Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength Lv9 (12387/13000)]
[Meditative Visualization True Lv7 (3569/9000)]
[Combat Skills Lv9 (5898/8000)]
[Swimming Lv6 (1597/3000)]
[Riding Lv6 (1657/3000)]
[Acting Lv6 (1912/3000)]
[Teaching Lv5 (141/2000)]
Over these days, he had reaped abundant gains; many high-level skills had almost reached the point of leveling up, and the newly activated [Teaching] had also progressed to Lv5.
"...just over six hundred more, and I can have it done today," Xue Jing thought, looking at the experience bar for Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength.
He picked up a pack of water bottles placed next to him and began to chug one after another, replenishing the water he had lost.
While drinking, he began to ponder whether to overdraw some Life Force to train the Armor Shaking Skill again, or to push his dear disciple a bit more...
At that moment, his phone on the floor started vibrating with a ringtone.
Xue Jing picked it up, looked at the caller ID.
It was from Ning Yuantai.
He pressed the answer button, putting the phone to his ear, "Hello?"
"Xue, it's me," Ning Yuantai's voice came through the speaker.
"What's up?" Xue Jing asked.
"The reward from Cease-Blades for you has been decided; it will arrive tomorrow," Ning Yuantai spoke respectfully.
"Oh? What is it?" Xue Jing asked, intrigued.
"[GOD-1062·Ice Skates]... It says here, you can only borrow them for three days," Ning Yuantai said.
"That's enough, I just love Divine Relics; it's not about possessing them," Xue Jing nodded.
Ice Skates, huh... He hadn't expected Cease-Blades to actually consider these items as his reward.
He had vaguely understood the Ice Skates' abilities from the database. It was a Divine Relic with strategic significance in certain aspects.
Its ability was—'to skate on any terrain.'
Once worn, even on a grassy field soaked with 502 glue, one could move forward as smoothly as if skating, unaffected by any terrain.
And this 'any' meant truly 'any.'
For instance, the air could also be seen as terrain, enabling one to skate in the air as if flying.
This Divine Relic was extraordinarily useful. According to the records in the data repository, it had shown miraculous effects in many rules and complex terrains at the Intersecting Boundaries, playing a significant role.
"Also, there seems to be a Cultivation Technique, a gift from some big shot on Cease-Blades, said to be very useful for you."
Ning Yuantai added.
"Cultivation Technique? Got it," Xue Jing nodded.
He wasn't particularly interested in the Cultivation Technique, but since it was free, he wouldn't refuse it.
"By the way, Yuantai, how's that weirdo with the second dimension copper refining fetish doing?"
Xue Jing asked casually.
"You mean the Skin-Peeler... The procedures are underway. Once he spills everything about his experiences and everything related to [GOD-1291], and fills the Divine Relic data repository, he will be executed."
Ning Yuantai said, then added:
"The little girl the Skin-Peeler met is quite unusual. According to him, she seems to master all martial arts in the world and taught him a lot."
"That's why he named her 'Yuyan'..."
...
After hanging up the phone, and because he was about to gain Divinity, Xue Jing was in a good mood.
Thinking it over, he decided not to torment his little disciple today and gave her a day off. He would strain himself and overdraw his Life Force to practice the Armor Shaking Skill once more.
His Health Cultivation level was high enough, and his Life Force was exceptionally abundant and strong. So as long as he didn't do this often, there were no side effects.
If ordinary people did what he did, they would instantly reduce their lifespan drastically and leave irreversible fundamental injuries.
Xue Jing assumed the posture, with Dragon Horns emerging on his head and silvery Dragon Thunder entwining, as twelve times gravity surrounded him.
More than an hour later.
[...Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength Experience Points +632]
[Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength upgraded to Lv10 (19/16000)]
Finally!
Xue Jing collapsed on the ground, motionless.
His body was exhausted to the extreme, but his mood was incredibly satisfied.
Even after having the panel for so long, the satisfaction and sense of achievement brought by the skills level-up still thrilled him.
"Huff—"
He took a long breath after quite some time.
Eagerly opening the panel.
"Huh? Isn't Lv10 the limit for a specialized skill like Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength?"
Xue Jing looked at the experience bar of Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength Lv10 (19/16000).
"Never mind, I'll just perform Skill Fusion first!"
He clicked on the faint golden 'Fusion' word that appeared behind [fighting] and [Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength].
[Detected fusable skills: fighting + Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength]
[Conditions met, spend 1000 Divinity to fuse?]
[Yes/No]
Xue Jing didn't hesitate and clicked [Yes].
The next moment, the two skills on the panel melted like ink and formed a vortex, intertwining with each other.
Gradually becoming indistinguishable.
As Xue Jing watched eagerly, the panel started to change.
The ordinary skills bar and the Divine Skill bar suddenly began to move up and down separately, and a new skill bar emerged between them.
And the first skill in the new skill bar also appeared.
[True Martial Lv1 (Transcendent)]
[Upgrade requires: Experience Points 0/10000, Divinity 1158/1000]
Xue Jing's eyes widened slightly.
Fighting + Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength fused... Transcendent Skill — True Martial!
In an instant, his body suddenly started making countless cracking noises.
Like muffled thunder, resembling waves.
The surface of his skin rolled like waves, as if countless mice were scurrying underneath it.
There was no pain, only a strong tingling and exhilarating feeling; Xue Jing closed his eyes, intently observing the changes inside his body.
Skin, muscles, bones, blood, organs... Everything was changing dramatically.
The Dragon-Shaped Energy automatically came to life without his control, issuing a joyful dragon's roar, and moving around his body, as if it had been trapped in a shoal and finally reached the sea, arriving in the realm truly belonging to it.
It was unknown how much time had passed when the changes in Xue Jing's body gradually settled down.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze extremely bright.
Suddenly, his pupils emitted two sharp Dragon-Shaped Qi Forces, that pierced the nearby wall, creating two eye-sized deep holes.
This was — controlling Qi with the eyes!
