[Hidden Dragon Ruyi Power Lv8 (2426/11000)]
Looking at the changes in Canglong Jin, Xue Jing blinked.
He had experienced the phenomenon of 'specialization' of the skill panel twice before.
The first time was when he killed the cockroach monster in Ruizhu Hotel, [Yun Jin] was specialized into [Cang Long Jin].
The second time was after using [GOD-508·Bai Chi Gan Tou], [Visualization] was specialized into [Visualization·Truth].
These two specialized skills are more powerful than ordinary skills, and the experience points required to upgrade them are also much higher than ordinary skills.
This time, the [Hidden Dragon Power], which was already a specialized skill, was specialized again...
Xue Jing looked at the experience points required to upgrade the new [Canglong Ruyi Jin], which had not changed compared to before and was still 11,000.
"So it seems that specialized skills, like regular skills and divine skills, require fixed experience points to upgrade."
He thought to himself.
"Well, let's try a change..."
Xue Jing took a deep breath and began to circulate his strength.
This time, some wonderful changes seemed to have taken place in his body, and the feeling of generating strength was completely different from before.
The real dragon was born in the body, no longer with the previous harmony of yin and yang and combination of hardness and softness, but as soon as it appeared, the strength of its body was composed of 'pure hardness'.
He didn't need to withdraw his soft power at all.
"This is..." Xue Jing was a little surprised.
With a thought, he disintegrated the 'True Dragon of Strength' in his body and started to circulate his strength again.
The real dragon appeared again, but its body was no longer as hard as before. Instead, it was soft and loose, like cotton soaked in water.
The newborn real dragon roamed freely in Xue Jing's body, but the movement was silent. Xue Jing could not even feel its existence. Wherever it went, it seemed as if it was being flowed by water or blown by the breeze. There was only a faint, soft touch that was almost imperceptible.
This is 'pure softness', a true soft dragon composed entirely of soft power!
“The Hidden Dragon Ruyi Power… The power generated is completely at your will. It can be hard when you want it to be hard, or soft when you want it to be soft.”
Xue Jing jumped off the head of the Flame-Crying Dragon, picked up a stone from the ground, and looked around. His super-human vision allowed him to easily lock onto a fawn on the plain several kilometers away.
In other words, it is a borderland creature that looks like a deer.
The soft dragon energy flowed silently to his right arm. Xue Jing took a throwing posture and threw the stone at the deer several kilometers away.
The stone flew towards the deer at an extremely fast speed, but strangely, it did not make any sound.
The stone hit the deer without the deer even noticing it.
A strange thing happened.
As if ignoring the laws of physics, the stone stopped immediately when it hit the deer and fell lightly to the ground.
The little deer was like being hit by a speeding truck. It flew dozens of meters away and then landed gently on the ground without any damage on its body.
It was not until it landed on the ground that it suddenly realized that it seemed to have been knocked flying. It immediately showed a frightened expression, turned around and ran away.
"The soft power is pure to the extreme and will not cause any harm."
Xue Jing whispered to himself.
"But... everything in the world follows the principle that things will turn into the opposite when they reach their extremes, just like the concept of the Vajra Ruyi Hand, 'the extreme of hardness will become soft, and the extreme of hardness will become the extreme of softness', and the opposite principle is the same."
“When softness reaches its extreme, it will eventually become hardness. I think the softest thing can also become the hardest thing… It all depends on how I develop it.”
He clenched his fists, his eyes excited:
"I didn't expect to get such a boost before the final battle with the pure-blooded dragons!"
"The Vajra Ruyi Hand is a special skill that is cultivated through hard work in our own school. It can instantly generate pure strength in the body."
"And the [Hidden Dragon Ruyi Power] not only has the effect of the Vajra Ruyi Hand Technique, but it is even better than that. It can generate not only pure hard power, but also pure soft power. This is the real 'Ruyi'!"
"Aban, you did a good job, you did a good job!"
Xue Jing took a deep breath, gathered his strength, and with the sound of the dragon's roar, he transformed into a real dragon with extreme strength.
Then he crushed it, and after shaping it as he wished, he simultaneously unleashed the Shaking Star Fire and Tornado Thunder.
The boiling blood and the spirally compressed muscles appeared simultaneously. He looked at his clenched right hand and thought:
"The destructive power of pure strength itself is far greater than that of ordinary strength. Using pure strength to perform these two most destructive killing moves of the Hidden Dragon Style at the same time, the power is immeasurable."
"This move needs a new name."
He thought about it and hesitated for a moment.
"Hmm... the combination of Shaking Star Fire and Tornado Thunder, then, let's call it 'The Ultimate Killer Move - Thunder Flame Boiling Cauldron'."
Shaking Star Fire is a defense-breaking technique that injects powerful force into the enemy's body, while Tornado Thunder is a pure explosive technique.
The combination of these two moves is to inject strength into the enemy's body and cause a huge explosion...
Xue Jing thought of the skin on the head of the Flame-Crying Dragon that was hit by this move in his consciousness space, which swelled wildly like boiling water.
Shaking Star Fire, Tornado Thunder, one thunder and one fire, both are related to combustion and boiling, so naming it 'Thunder Flame Boiling Cauldron' is quite appropriate.
Xue Jing turned around and punched the body of Yan Tilong.
When the fist touched the already tattered head of the Flame-Crying Dragon, there was no movement for a while.
It was not until a few seconds later that large lumps began to swell up on its surface, and then more and more lumps appeared on it, and more and more...
"boom!!"
The entire skull of the Flame-crying Dragon exploded, and bones and flesh covered an area of dozens of meters in radius, forming a scene of a hell of flesh and blood.
"… Are you free?"
The person in the mirror was speechless.
Xue Jing smiled and said, "I realized something new and couldn't help myself."
The surface of his body was covered with a layer of dragon-shaped energy, which blocked all the blood and flesh from being splashed onto him.
"You martial artists are too free to follow your own will."
The person in the mirror shook his head.
"You always do whatever you think of. I see you are like this all the time. After you make a breakthrough, you can't help but destroy something to test it out."
Xue Jing coughed dryly and said nothing.
The man in the mirror continued:
"Actually, this is not a good idea. Although this is just a small matter, everything starts from a small point and ends with a big one. Acting too impulsively will eventually hurt you."
"I have seen countless martial artists who made big mistakes without thinking just to calm down their anger."
"That 'King Jiwu' was..."
Having said this, the person in the mirror paused, as if realizing that he had said something he shouldn't have, and immediately kept silent.
Xue Jing asked in confusion: "Hmm? King Jiwu?"
The man in the mirror said calmly, "It's nothing. You still have to experience everything yourself to gain enlightenment. There's no point in talking too much now. You young people probably don't want to listen to these sermons, so I won't mention it anymore."
Although Xue Jing was interested in the title "Extreme Martial King", which was obviously closely related to martial arts, he gave up asking further questions when he saw the person in the mirror change the subject so abruptly, knowing that this was probably something it didn't want to or couldn't say.
"Come to think of it, it's quite impressive that you have been able to master the old martial arts to such a level at your age." The person in the mirror praised lightly.
"Even in the seventh metropolitan area where martial arts are most advanced, there probably won't be many people who can compare with you at this age."
Xue Jing asked curiously: "Oh? I thought I was pretty good, but from what you said, it seems that I am not that outstanding in the Seventh Metropolitan Area?"
The man in the mirror hummed: "From a purely martial arts perspective, I guess so. After all, the Seventh Metropolitan Circle is the Extreme Martial King... I'll just give you a simple example. You should also know that there are seven major titles in your old martial arts world, right?"
"[Martial Saint][Master of Arms][Flying General][Tyrant][True Dragon][Heavenly Position]and[Tenth Stage]."
“Currently, five of the seven titles are in the seventh metropolitan area.”
Xue Jing was surprised when he heard this: "So exaggerated?"
The person in the mirror chuckled, "It's more exaggerated than you thought. Of the remaining two titles, one is not very valuable, the Tenth Dan. A top martial artist will only get this title once, and will give it up after collecting stamps. That's why it's not in the Seventh Metropolitan Area."
"In addition, there are also three major titles in the Far East, [Sword Saint], [Fighting God], and [Sun Wheel]. Currently, except for [Sword Saint] which is still in the hands of the Far East people, [Fighting God] and [Sun Wheel] have been won by the martial artists from the Seventh Metropolitan Circle across the sea."
The man in the mirror paused, as if remembering something, and added, "Also, [Champion] is also in the Seventh Metropolitan Circle... Although this special title is not counted among the seven major titles, it is more valuable than [Tenth Dan] and can only be obtained before the age of thirty. Some top martial artists who have achieved great success late in life cannot obtain this title in their lifetime because they are too old, and they deeply regret it."
"Now you know how advanced the martial arts are in the Seventh Metropolitan Area. It's no exaggeration to say that even if you multiply the Fifth Metropolitan Area by ten, they still won't be able to defeat them."
Xue Jing pounded his fists against his chest twice and sighed, "The world is so big! It seems I am far from being good enough!"
The person in the mirror said casually, "Don't mind it too much. You are not a pure martial artist. Your true path is to be granted the opportunity to ascend to the next level... If you add your status as a God-chosen recipient, with your current strength, you are undoubtedly the top figure among your peers."
"Actually, if you really want to tell me, you'd better not waste your time on martial arts training. In a few years, martial arts won't even have any influence on you. It would be better for you to focus on the secret arts bestowed by God."
"By the way, how long have you been practicing martial arts? You should have started since you were a child, right? Ten years?"
Xue Jing thought about it and hesitated for a moment: "Hmm... About two and a half months now?"
After these words were spoken, the person in the mirror fell silent.
A breeze blew by, and the atmosphere on the scene became a little awkward.
The silence lasted for a long time, and then the person in the mirror twitched his mouth and said, "Is... so it is."
There was another silence.
"Which school do you follow? Who is your master?"
Xue Jing said casually: "Canglongliu, my master is Li Qi."
The person in the mirror pondered for a while, then asked curiously, "Hidden Dragon School? Li Qi?"
"I've never heard of him. Is he some unknown powerful hidden master?"
Xue Jing said: "No, they should be quite famous. They were called the 'Three Heroes of Jade City' in the inner ring a few decades ago."
The person in the mirror nodded and said, "Well, I understand. Just pretend that I never asked anything."
Two and a half months... He studied under a small sect he had never heard of...
The person in the mirror looked at the corpse of the Flame-crying Dragon with its head exploded and scratched his head.
Just with this one strike... Five stages? Should it be six stages
If he was cultivated by top schools, top figures, and top resources, then it would be normal.
But he was born in a small sect, and he practiced traditional martial arts for two and a half months and reached the sixth level...
If you tell it that this is King Jiwu's reincarnation, it will believe it.
Damn, I was fooled by this kid!
After another silence, the person in the mirror spoke with difficulty:
"Well, I think you should continue to practice your old martial arts. It's always good to have more skills. You still have a lot of potential."
Xue Jing smiled, "Haha... I understand."
Time passed slowly during the chat.
At noon, Xue Jing was standing with his eyes closed in a posture that looked like a dragon but wasn't, practicing the art of hibernating dragons.
Suddenly, he felt something, opened his eyes, and turned his head to look to the left.
In the forest far away, there was a furtive figure, moving towards us, stopping and starting.
Seeing this, Xue Jing didn't care but continued to stand still.
By the time the other party groped his way closer, more than ten minutes had passed.
Xue Jing then opened his eyes, looked at the other party, and asked in confusion: "Renia, what are you doing?"
At this time, Renia was wearing a black robe and a hood, which covered her whole body tightly, and her body was curled up.
She looked around and whispered in a low voice, "I came here secretly without telling anyone."
Xue Jing tilted his head: "What is there to hide? Are you a virgin girl who is about to get married in the feudal era but secretly meets her lover?"
Renia tightened her hood: "I don't know what you are talking about... I came here to discuss with you about 'killing the Dragon God'! Do you know the seriousness of this? If any of this information leaks out, I will be dead!"
Xue Jing smiled and said, "It seems you have made up your mind?"
Renia was silent for a while, then whispered:
