This idea reminded him of a move in a work he had seen - Return to Nothingness and Return to Oneness.
"[Zhenwu] can be further upgraded, but the upgrade requires..."
Xue Jing looked at the panel and frowned slightly.
[Required for upgrading: Experience 167/10000, Divinity 1158/1000]
The experience points are not a problem. If he works hard to earn 10,000 experience points, he should be able to do it in less than ten days.
However, upgrading requires one thousand divinities, the same number of divinities required for fusion.
I don't know what the required divinity is after Lv2...
"Can extraordinary skills be more noble than divine skills?"
Xue Jing touched his chin.
It only takes 100 to upgrade the divine skill to Lv1.
The requirements for extraordinary skills are ten times higher than those for divine skills, which is outrageous.
"As expected, the sublimated skills are also extraordinary skills, and they also require one thousand divine powers to upgrade..."
Xue Jing felt a little headache.
"If this is the case, there is a huge gap in divinity..."
Various divine skills in themselves are already crying out for resources, and now there are additional extraordinary skills which also require a large amount of divinity.
“It’s too difficult.”
With a sigh, Xue Jing stood up.
It only took him a split second to realize something was wrong.
After Zhenwu was activated, his control over his body reached an unprecedented level, and any abnormality could not escape his perception.
His line of sight was about 0.3 centimeters lower than before.
"It should be because [Zhenwu] changed my physical structure."
Xue Jing thought about it, walked out of the practice room, went to the bathroom sink, and looked in the mirror.
There is no change in appearance, but the body proportions are better.
The arm span has increased by about ten centimeters and the legs are also longer.
He reached out and tore open his training clothes, revealing his upper body.
The size and distribution of the muscles are beyond compare, more perfect than before.
It is no longer carefully carved by God, but God himself.
"good."
Since he was already there, Xue Jing went to the toilet and then returned to the training room.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the small figure of Zong Shichan, mopping the floor with a mop.
"Hmm? Shichan, why are you here?"
Xue Jing said casually.
"I have been watching the surveillance in the corridor in the monitoring room. I saw you went to the toilet, so I came here."
Zong Shichan said this and looked up at Xue Jing.
Then her face froze as she realized something was wrong.
"Hmm? Master, you are 0.3 centimeters shorter, your arm span is 10 centimeters longer, your legs are a little longer, and your figure seems to have changed as well."
Xue Jing: “…”
"How carefully do you usually look at me?" The corners of his mouth twitched.
"Hehe." A smug look flashed across Zong Shichan's little face, with his two fangs showing.
"I just made a small breakthrough in martial arts." Xue Jing responded casually.
Zong Shichan asked in confusion, "Will a breakthrough in martial arts cause such a big change in the body?"
"Our Hidden Dragon Style is like this. You don't understand it until you reach a high level."
"Is that so?" Zong Shichan scratched his head and then asked:
"Master, what are we going to practice today?"
Xue Jing thought for a moment and said, "Take a day off today. Just practice the basic techniques of Hibernating Dragon and Shaking Armor by yourself."
Hidden Dragon Ruyi Power has been successfully upgraded to Lv10, and the skill fusion has been completed. There is no need to rush to take advantage of the little apprentice.
Zong Shichan's eyes widened: "Master, are you okay?"
In the past few days, she has regarded Xue Jing as a Spartan-level strict teacher, the kind who will train her to death as long as the target of death is not reached.
There are still holidays
"We martial artists emphasize a balance between work and rest. Blindly practicing will only produce the opposite effect. You still have a lot to learn, my foolish disciple."
Xue Jing said earnestly.
"No... I don't think I said that before." Zong Shichan looked confused.
"This has always been my teacher's opinion." Xue Jing said without changing his expression.
"Is... that so?" Zong Shichan began to doubt himself.
Her extreme admiration for her master even made her wonder whether her previous experience was an illusion.
"Then let's do it this way. You can practice on your own. I have something else to do and I'll leave first."
Xue Jing coughed dryly, quickened his pace and walked out of the training room.
…
The next day at noon, Xue Jing was cooking lunch in the kitchen when there was a knock on the door.
“Knock knock knock—”
Xue Jing swung his hands, exerted a little force, shook off the oil stains, walked out of the kitchen and opened the door.
"Brother Xue!"
Outside the door, Ning Yuantai was carrying a high-tech-looking metal box and greeted Xue Jing.
"It's Yuantai, come in and sit down." Xue Jing said with a smile.
"I'm cooking, let's eat together later."
He said as he walked towards the kitchen.
Ning Yuantai entered the house and looked around carefully. He was flattered when he heard the words.
"May I?"
Xue Jing laughed: "It's just a meal, what's the problem?"
"Then I will respectfully obey your command..." Ning Yuantai put the box on the tea table and rubbed his hands expectantly.
After a while, Xue Jing brought three dishes and a soup to the dining table.
Although the number of dishes was not large, the portions were sufficient, and several large plates almost filled the table.
Xue Jing took the bowl and chopsticks, filled a bowl with rice and handed it to Ning Yuantai: "Sit down, you can eat now."
Ning Yuantai reached out to take it, sat down at the dining table, and picked up a piece of braised beef brisket with chopsticks.
Just after putting it in his mouth and chewing it twice, his eyes widened instantly: "This..."
Not even willing to waste time talking, he immediately started eating like crazy.
By the time the meal was over, there was almost no juice left from the dishes piled on the table, and the rice in the rice cooker had disappeared without a trace.
“… It’s so delicious, Brother Xue.” Ning Yuantai sighed, rubbing his stomach with satisfaction.
“This is the best meal I’ve ever had since I was a kid.”
Xue Jing smiled and said, "You are exaggerating. It's just a common occurrence."
"It's true..." Ning Yuantai scratched his head, picked up the metal box on the table, and opened it after operating the combination lock for a while.
Inside was a pair of ordinary-looking ice skates and an old black-covered thread-bound book.
"This is the reward Zhige gives you." Ning Yuantai said.
Xue Jing curiously reached out and picked up the blank thread-bound book and opened a page.
Three large traditional Chinese characters catch your eye.
—"Huang Po Kung Fu".
Chapter 192: Huang Po Kung Fu, nourishing the holy fetus, the five internal organs in the five internal organs temple, the cheating of [Zhenwu] (4K)
"Huang Po Gong..."
Xue Jing looked surprised.
He didn't expect that the additional reward given by Zhige would be this martial arts technique.
Master Li Qi once mentioned to him that in terms of "nourishing the internal organs", the Taoist Huang Po Kung Fu is the most professional and is the only internal Kung Fu in the world.
The Canglong School follows the external style, and its method of nourishing the internal organs is quite general. It can only train the five internal organs indirectly through the Doujia Gong from the outside to the inside while exercising the skin, flesh, tendons, bones and blood.
Therefore, Li Qi always felt deeply regretful that he was not able to get "Huang Po Kung Fu" when he was young.
Unexpectedly, this martial arts method that Li Qi had been obsessed with was now in his hands so easily.
Xue Jing's eyes flashed, and he flipped through a few more pages of the thread-bound book and took a general look at the contents.
They are all various energy circulation routes written in traditional Chinese characters, with corresponding human body illustrations, and some Taoist chants that seem mysterious.
He did not look at it for long, but closed it and put it aside on the table, intending to give it to his master Li Qi to determine whether it was the real Huang Po Kung Fu.
"Is this [GOD-1062 Ice Skates]?"
As Xue Jing asked, he reached out and picked up a pair of ordinary-looking white ice skates from the box.
The moment the hands touched, a prompt popped up on the panel.
[Divine matter detected, absorbing divinity... ]
"Yes." Ning Yuantai nodded.
Seeing Xue Jing was curiously studying, Ning Yuantai thought for a moment and said:
"Brother Xue, just look at this thing, don't wear it."
"All divine relics have side effects, without exception... The side effects of GOD-1062 are quite serious. Once put on, it will become one with the wearer. The only way to remove it is by amputation."
"And for some reason, the amputation cannot be healed by any medical means. Even the top doctors who can perform 'super surgery' can't do anything about it. It's like... a part of my soul has been cut off along with it."
"The only way for anyone who has worn GOD-1062 to regain their feet is to replace them with xenoplants."
Xue Jing nodded: "I understand."
He had already read the information about ice skates, so he wouldn't do anything stupid.
After thinking for a while, Xue Jing said, "Yuantai, can I ask who is the big shot who gave me this copy of Huang Po Gong?"
The reward for catching the Skinner was a divine relic, as he had requested, and the "Huang Po Gong" was given as a bonus.
Why is it a gift? Because he has killed a pure-blooded dragon, and you want to win him over because he is a talent
Xue Jing had a vague feeling that this might not be the only reason.
The Huang Po Kungfu was a very suitable technique. It did not seem like a spur-of-the-moment attempt to win over a talented person, but rather a choice made by an elder after careful consideration for his or her younger generation.
Combined with the fact that when the head teacher called him to ask him to be the examiner of the martial arts exam, Wu Youqing said that someone from above was protecting him. Xue Jing felt that maybe these two things were related...
"I'm not very clear about the specific situation." Ning Yuantai said in a low voice.
"When my team leader informed me, he said 'some important person'... I was curious and asked him about it, but even my leader didn't know the details. The explanation he got from the higher-ups was also 'some important person'."
Xue Jing shook his head: "I don't know what he's doing, so mysterious."
Since he couldn't figure it out at the moment, Xue Jing didn't bother about it.
