In a secret basement in South City.
Li Chengxuan, wrapped in bandages like a mummy, was sitting in a wheelchair. The dim light shone on him, reflecting his lifeless and frustrated eyes.
A long-haired young man with severe dark circles under his eyes was touching Li Chengxuan's body, checking his condition.
“… great craftsmanship.”
He exclaimed in a hoarse voice.
"I really want to have a conversation with this person... Every knife attack caused the maximum damage without being fatal. Chengxuan is useless. Unless those big companies arrange a 'super surgery' for him to completely replace all his body organs except his brain..."
He glanced at Li Chengxuan's lifeless eyes and smiled.
"... However, it seems that even if his body is healed, it will be useless. His mind has been completely destroyed by that person named Xue Jing."
Hearing the name "Xue Jing", Li Chengxuan seemed to be stimulated. His whole body began to tremble wildly as if he had been electrocuted, and fear was almost overflowing in his lifeless eyes.
“Mmmmm-Mmm-Ahhh!!!”
He struggled to roll his wheelchair backwards and fell to the ground. He was still trembling like a cricket. He lay on the ground, covering his head with his hands, looking extremely scared.
"Look, there's no hope."
The young man laughed.
A thin, pretty young woman with short hair next to him couldn't bear it and said:
"Brother Zhang, Junior Brother has suffered enough, please don't provoke him any further."
The young man spread his hands and chuckled twice: "I didn't mean it, Junior Sister Chen."
Junior Sister Chen frowned and said, "What on earth have you been through, Senior Brother Zhang? You were not like this before. You clearly loved Junior Brother the most..."
"People change, it's normal." The young man said nonchalantly.
He turned to look at his mentor Jiao Hongyuan, who had been sitting next to him in silence.
"Master, why did you ask us to come here?"
He spoke in a casual tone.
"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually quite busy and don't have much free time..."
Jiao Hongyuan looked at him expressionlessly.
"Busy? Do you really think I don't know what you've been doing since you came back?"
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh? What do you know?"
Jiao Hongyuan's face suddenly turned pale. He took out a few tissues, covered his mouth, and began to cough violently.
“Cough!! Cough cough!!”
He didn't recover until he almost fainted from coughing.
And those tissues were already soaked with blood that was red to black.
“… We at the Golden Wind Dojo have no way out.”
He looked tired, and compared to the robust figure he had more than a month ago, he had become so thin that he looked like a dying old man, and he looked many years older.
"You are my direct disciples... You can't hide away, you can only follow me till the end."
"I came here to warn you."
"Don't cause any trouble these days... Everyone, be quiet, especially you, Renxu."
Jiao Hongyuan looked at the young man named Zhang.
"At least in the next half month, you must not cause any more trouble... I don't know what you have been through in the inner ring. It may be that I have neglected to care about you, but at least for the sake of our past master-disciple relationship, please don't make it difficult for me."
He turned to the young woman named Chen and said, "Wenyan, keep an eye on him. Don't let him out of your sight."
Chen Wenyan nodded, "I understand, Master."
Zhang Renxu clicked his tongue and said nothing.
"Three days from now is the 70th birthday party of old man Zong Jinkui. He has a good disciple who has already established a foothold in the inner ring. We will inevitably have trouble with him in the future... All the direct disciples of the Jinfeng Dojo, as long as they can still move, must go there on that day."
"You must not cause any trouble. Do you understand?"
Jiao Hongyuan warned solemnly.
…
11:30 pm.
New Year's Day will come in half an hour, and time will soon move from the 267th year of the new era to the 268th year of the new era.
Xue Jing stood on the balcony, his elbows resting on the railing, holding a bottle of Coke in his right hand, and looking up at the sky.
"Bang—Bang—"
Fireworks kept exploding in the air, and the colorful flames reflected on his face, which was extremely beautiful.
The cat squatted on the guardrail, its tail in a tail ring swaying back and forth, watching the fireworks with him.
The cell phone in his pocket kept vibrating, all of which were New Year's greetings from relatives and friends. Xue Jing ignored them and just watched the fireworks and drank Coke comfortably.
He felt the colorful fireworks reflected in his pupils, and an inexplicable feeling came to his mind.
Everyone agrees that the fleeting fireworks cannot last long, so they only bloom to their fullest in a moment.
Unconsciously, Xue Jing's pupils turned into a divine silver-white.
The fleeting fate of fireworks is also determined by heaven...
"Ah Jing, let's go set off fireworks too!"
Xue Wanxing pushed open the balcony glass door and shouted.
Inadvertently, she saw Xue Jing's silver-white pupils and the colorful and magnificent fireworks reflected in his pupils.
For a moment, she was mesmerized by the indescribable absolute beauty and froze in place.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Xue Jing came back to his senses, and the silver-white color in his pupils faded away.
A prompt popped up on the panel.
[You have an epiphany while watching the fireworks, and your attack experience points increase by 1567]
[You have an epiphany while watching the fireworks, Visualization·True Experience +1849]
He turned around and saw Xue Wan standing at the door, so he walked up to her and snapped his fingers.
"Come back to your senses."
Xue Wan's expression regained clarity, and a blush immediately appeared on her pretty face.
How could it be possible... that I would lose my mind because my own younger brother is too handsome
It's so embarrassing...
Xue Wan coughed dryly: "What happened just now? Why did your eyes change color?"
Xue Jing smiled and said casually:
"Just now, watching the fireworks gave me some new insights into martial arts."
Xue Wan didn't quite believe it: "What can you learn from watching fireworks? This is not a martial arts novel..."
Xue Jing smiled and said without explaining:
"Come on, don't you want to set off fireworks?"
Xue Wan's eyes lit up: "Oh, yes, let's go, I know a good place..."
Before she could finish her words, Xue Jing disappeared from her side in an instant.
The next moment, he appeared at the door.
From the balcony to the door, a magnificent colorful flame trail appeared and lasted for a long time.
"This... what is this?" Xue Wan's eyes widened.
Xue Jing said as he changed his shoes:
"A new move I learned... well, let's call it - 'Flame Color'."
Heavenly Sword's killer move: Flame Color.
This was a new use of the God's Will Sword that he had inexplicably realized while watching the fireworks just now.
Tian Dao... This martial art was developed from his understanding of the artistic conception of the "Ashura Sword". It only has artistic conception, but no moves or methods of exerting strength.
Therefore, the killing moves and mysteries comprehended based on Tian Dao are also quite "idealistic".
Sakura Mangetsu and Flame Link both have no specific method of exerting energy, but are performed entirely by relying on the power of the mind.
And this newly comprehended 'Flame Color' is a move - an extremely fast burst skill.
Use mental power to interfere with one's own reality, simulate fleeting fireworks, and instantly burst into an approaching and decapitating enemy with a fatal move.
Similar to Sakura Mangetsu, although not as exaggerated as Sakura Mangetsu's full-map special effects, this move also has special effects when performed because of the overflow of mental power.
It will leave a colorful trail of fireworks behind it...
"This is so beautiful! I also want to learn it. Can you teach me, Brother Jing~"
Xue Wan's eyes lit up and she hugged Xue Jing's arm and acted coquettishly.
Xue Jing chuckled and said, "I'll definitely do it next time."
…
Chapter 184: The use of Yan Liancai, new consciousness simulation function, Xue Jing's fanatical little fangirl (4K)
In the space of consciousness.
Countless pixels rotated and condensed into Xue Jing's body.
He clenched his palms, checked his body composition data as usual and found it was the same as in reality, then looked around.
This is a flat wilderness so desolate that only yellow earth exists.
After accompanying Xue Wan to set off fireworks and celebrate the New Year and returning home, Xue Jing took a shower, lay on the bed, and began to use consciousness simulation.
He had a few things he wanted to test... By the way, he hadn't used his consciousness space for a long time, so he took this opportunity to understand the changes after [Visualization·Truth] was upgraded to Lv7.
Xue Jing's mind moved, and wooden stakes appeared on the ground in front of him.
Afterwards, his pupils turned a divine silver-white. After a slight pause, without any movement, he suddenly disappeared from the spot with a 'boom'.
If you look down from the sky with a God's perspective, you will see that Xue Jing is moving back and forth between the wooden stakes at a very fast speed. He is incredibly flexible and his speed is also very fast. There is also a colorful tail flame trail swaying behind him, which lasts for a long time.
In just about a second, he bypassed all the wooden stakes in a winding route and appeared nearly a hundred meters away, leaving behind a winding colorful tail flame along the way, which was extremely beautiful.
After a while, all the wooden stakes broke into two pieces in the middle, and the broken parts slowly slid down along the cut, as if they were cut off at the same time by an extremely sharp blade at the same moment.
"Flame Link... This move is quite useful."
Xue Jing nodded.
"To a certain extent, I ignored the laws of physics. I didn't need to accelerate, and I reached the highest speed in an instant... The theory of mental power interfering with my own reality is increasingly reflected in me."
"But this trick also has a disadvantage..."
Xue Jing pondered.
"It simulates the killer move of fireworks. It has the advantages and characteristics of fireworks, but it also has the disadvantages of fireworks."
"Just like how fireworks bloom, you need to fill them with different gunpowder and colorants in advance... and arrange the proportions and placement of the materials. This is also the case with the Flame Continuous Color Technique."
"It requires me to think of all the actions of this move before I make it... Once I make a move, I can't change it midway."
This is equivalent to a script with preset buttons. Once you think about how to make a move, your body will move on its own without your control.
The disadvantage is that you can't change your moves mid-fight... but it's actually an advantage.
Just like just now, even with such a high-speed burst of movement, he was still able to move between the wooden stakes with great flexibility.
This is difficult to do under normal circumstances. To be able to make a flexible turn without slowing down at high speed... It is too difficult. Maybe a master who can cover and control the whole body with consciousness can do it, but he himself can't do it at the moment.
However, in the Yan Liancai state, he interfered with his own reality to a certain extent and actually achieved this.
After thinking about it, Xue Jing's mind moved again. With a "boom", he dragged the colorful tail flame trail, moved forward quickly for a distance, and then stopped abruptly.
