Hearing Xue Jing's words that were clearly threatening, and even changing his address from Uncle Pei to Secretary Pei, Pei Xiaoen quickly said:
"How could that be possible? You misunderstood. We have even signed the agreement. The agreed compensation will definitely not be a problem!"
"It's just that the councillors want to discuss with you whether we can use your identity as 'Black Dragon Rider' to carry out some publicity activities. We can pay you some more on top of the original remuneration..."
Before he could even finish his words, Xue Jing interrupted him and said, "No need for that. Don't ask me for any publicity or other activities that require me to show my face. I won't agree to it. Just pay me according to what we agreed on."
"...Okay, I understand." Pei Xiaoen saw Xue Jing's refusal without leaving any room for negotiation, so he could only say yes helplessly.
After chatting for a few more sentences, talking about some of the situations and details of last night, as well as the issue of how to deal with the Tianxu Worm Queen in the Green Magic Cube, and confirming roughly when the 1 billion cash reward and the ten divine relics would be received, Xue Jing hung up the phone.
"There is a new identity of a masked hero..."
Xue Jing scratched his head.
To say whether it's fun or not... it's indeed a little bit fun.
All men have more or less dreamed of becoming a hero at some point in their lives, and Xue Jing is no exception.
I just don’t know if this identity will add anything else besides the emotional value of the heroic dream.
Shaking his head and deciding not to think about it for the time being, Xue Jing opened the panel.
[Possessing Divinity: 3672]
He looked towards the extraordinary skills column.
[Zhenwu Lv1 (Extraordinary)]
[Required for upgrading: Experience 10000/10000, Divinity 3672/1000]
Xue Jing touched his chin and said, "Well... I'll upgrade to Zhenwu first to see the specific effect."
At present, the number of divinities is still sufficient, and later on, the Qingcheng government will get him ten divine relics, which means a total of about five thousand divinities.
You can be more generous when spending, and just leave a thousand points for [Fitness] which you don’t know when it will be upgraded.
Xue Jing clicks to upgrade.
[Zhenwu Lv2 (Extraordinary)]
[Required for upgrading: Experience value 0/20000, Divinity 2672/1000]
Compared to when I just got [Zhenwu], the tingling and sour feeling that my whole body was undergoing crazy transformation, there was no obvious change after reaching Lv2.
Xue Jing clenched his fist and felt it a little bit. He felt that the strength of his power seemed to be stronger, and his control over his body was also strengthened a lot.
Although the strength should have been greatly enhanced, there has not been such a huge leap from "human" to "non-human".
"For Lv2 Zhenwu, the upgrade still requires 1,000 points of divinity, and it has not increased."
Xue Jing seemed to be thinking about something.
"It seems that I was mistaken before. Extraordinary skills are not higher than divine skills in terms of 'status'. It's just that the divinity required for activation and initial upgrade is higher."
"I thought it would go up to 2,000 starting at Lv2, but it turns out to be just this."
"As I upgrade my Divine Skills, the amount of Divine Points required to upgrade them becomes increasingly exaggerated... If the upgrade requirements for Extraordinary Skills at Lv3, Lv4, Lv5, and even beyond remain at 1,000 Divine Points, then the burden of my Divine Points deficit will be much lighter."
"But I don't know whether I should be happy or disappointed... The demand for divinity is linked to the strength of skills. Although the requirement of only one thousand divinity per level has reduced the gap in divinity, it will not be possible to spend ten thousand divinity at a time to upgrade a level and then have the combat power soar directly on the spot..."
"Hmm... If you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter. Spending 10,000 divine powers to upgrade the skill to level 10 should have similar effects."
Xue Jing gently lifted up Ning Fengwan, who was sleeping on his abdomen, and then reached out to get a pillow to put under her head, but the pillow was a little far from his arm and was on the other side of the bed.
He instinctively wanted to get the pillow.
At this moment, his body started to move automatically. The next moment, a ball of light golden tangible energy emerged from his palm and went towards the pillow.
The light golden energy turned into a palm, picked up the pillow, and quickly returned, falling into Xue Jing's hand.
"This is… "
Xue Jing blinked.
He had been able to let the power leave the body and transform into a physical 'Qi' a long time ago.
However, to control the energy that has left the body freely as if it were one's hands and feet... this is a bit too outrageous.
Putting the pillow under Ning Fengwan's head, Xue Jing got up and walked out of the room.
After washing up and eating something to eat, he went out and headed towards the Canglong Dojo.
After arriving, without any stopping, he went directly to the Yangxin Room and pushed the door open.
It was around two o'clock in the afternoon. Li Qi was wearing reading glasses and looking at a thread-bound book with a new cover at the desk. It was the "Huang Po Gong" copied for him by Xue Jing.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Li Qi looked up and saw that it was Xue Jing who came. He immediately smiled and said:
"It's Xiaojing, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Li Qi did not ask about the source of his strange abilities last night, Xue Jing suddenly understood what his master meant, so he did not mention the matter.
He smiled and said, "Master, I have learned a new trick and I want to show you."
Li Qi put the book in his hand on the table, took off his reading glasses, turned his wheelchair to Xue Jing, raised his eyebrows and said:
"What's new?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Jing took a deep breath and began to circulate his strength.
The next moment, strands of light golden energy emanated from his body, and countless energies rushed to his side and gathered together.
He originally wanted to casually condense a Qi fist or something to show Li Qi, but as the Qi gathered, Xue Jing had a new idea.
Gradually, the energy nearby began to change and shape, and a light golden human body slowly took shape.
Under Xue Jing's control, the appearance of the Qi humanoid gradually became more refined, and soon it turned into a translucent, light golden "Xue Jing".
"This..." Li Qi's eyes widened slightly.
Xue Jing was also a little surprised that he actually created a "person".
He controlled the pale golden human figure and punched the air.
"call out-"
A strong airflow burst out from the pale golden human-shaped fist, and the curtains on the four windows in the Yangxin Room were swaying wildly, almost unhooking and flying out.
"A physical Qi clone that can be freely manipulated... This is the Taoist secret of 'One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones'. When did you learn it?"
Li Qi asked with an incredible look on his face.
"One Qi becomes Three Pure Ones?" Xue Jing was stunned, his face full of confusion.
Li Qi touched his chin: "Hmm? Isn't it 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones'?"
Xue Jing was surprised and said, "No... I just found that I can control my Qi to this extent, so I came to ask Master what's going on..."
Li Qi's mouth twitched: "Simple Qi control..."
He scratched his bald spot, which was no longer smooth and had grown a few stray hairs, and sighed:
"I thought I had seen enough 'unexpected' things from you, so I should be able to remain calm if there are any outrageous situations in the future... I didn't expect to be startled by you again."
"… How can someone simply control the Qi and make it form a 'clone'? Even a master who has leapt over the dragon gate and broken through the limit would find it difficult to do this. One must have practiced special secret skills to do this."
Li Qi looked at Xue Jing as if he was looking at an alien: "Are you really still a human being now?"
Xue Jing: “…”
"The Taoist 'One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones' can use the special 'Three Corpses Method' to cut off all negative thoughts that hinder one's cultivation, separate a part of the spiritual consciousness, and let it reside in the Qi that has left the body. In this way, it can be restrained and then form three 'Qi clones' to assist oneself in combat."
Li Qi looked at the pale golden figure beside Xue Jing and said thoughtfully, "But your 'Qi Jin clone'... upon closer inspection, it is indeed not formed by splitting the spiritual consciousness in the way of the 'Three Corpses Method'."
He reached out and touched the pale golden figure, feeling it carefully, and said uncertainly: "It seems that I just... simply used my mental power to force it to be 'successfully shaped'?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Qi is not that easy to control. Mental power is an invisible 'virtual form'. Without a real material carrier, it shouldn't be possible to do this..."
"Unbelievable, unbelievable."
Li Qi said while shaking his head.
When Xue Jing heard what Li Qi said, his heart moved.
He originally thought that it was due to the upgrade of [Zhenwu], which, with its extraordinary skill characteristics, allowed him to obtain this incredible ability to control Qi.
But now it seems that there is another reason.
He opened the panel and looked at one of the skills—[Visualization·Truth].
The Visualization·Truth that had just been upgraded to Lv8 last night was a powerful skill that allowed his mental power to materialize.
It should be that the effect of the upgraded visualization and materialization of true mental power has become more powerful, and it cooperates with Zhenwu Lv2's control over strength, producing a certain chemical reaction, allowing him to gain this energy control ability.
"So that's how it is..."
…
Xue Jing didn't stay in the Yangxin Room for too long. After figuring out the reasons, he came to his own practice room.
He sat cross-legged on the floor, with the light golden translucent 'Xue Jing' floating behind him.
This scene gave Xue Jing a strange sense of déjà vu.
"Now I have truly become a substitute user..."
He thought about it, and with an intention, he activated the Shadow Flame. Countless black air currents were immediately drawn out of the shadows in the training room, gathering on the body of the light golden human figure, wrapping it up and forming a Shadow Flame Armor.
Now, he became Xue Jing's alias - the Black Dragon Rider.
"Damn, it looks more like a stand-in."
"Can I have another one..."
Xue Jing's mind moved, and countless light golden energy surged from his body again, trying to condense another energy clone next to him.
However, this time, it was not as smooth as the first time. It was quite difficult. It was only after Xue Jing tried his best to control it that it was barely formed.
"Huh—" Xue Jing exhaled and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Two clones... I have already used up all my strength to condense them. They can only be used for fun and have no practical value."
"Next..."
Xue Jing used Shadow Flame again and also put armor on the second Qi clone.
Looking at the two 'black dragon riders' floating in the air in front of him, he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers with interest.
"Come on!"
In an instant, the two clones approached each other, and then began to wave their arms wildly and beat each other.
"Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
"Wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big!"
“Bang bang bang bang bang—”
In the void, countless fist shadows kept colliding with each other, exploding into countless circular air waves.
Xue Jing's hair was blown back into a slicked-back style, and he stared intently at the two clones fighting each other.
"Fight, fight hard, and the one who wins will be the invincible Star Platinum!"
… … … …
Chapter 206 GOD771, When attacked, you must first attack this taunting clone (4K)
The PK between the two Qi clones in the imperial city did not determine the winner.
After all, the two clones are no different in any aspect, even the controller is Xue Jing alone.
If a normal martial artist were controlling these two clones, perhaps one of them would make minor mistakes before long, which would affect the situation, tip the balance of victory, and ultimately determine the winner.
However, Xue Jing, who possessed the body of Zhenwu, had already reached an 'extraordinary' level of stability, and it was impossible for him to make mistakes. The two clones were locked in 100% perfect performance from beginning to end, a true 50-50 chance.
Controlling the two clones to stop yelling at each other, Xue Jing waved his hand and let one of them disperse.
"This Qi clone is very useful... Its constituent elements are my Qi, so its pure lethality is the same as my original body. However, since it is not my physical body, it cannot receive the blessing of the Twin, so its actual combat power will be weaker."
"There are many other problems. The first one is that it consumes a lot of physical strength and energy. Not only do I have to bear the cost of any action, but it also takes a lot of mental energy to 'shape' it."
"Also, it's very fragile... After all, it's just a clone formed by mental power. If the important parts such as the torso or head are directly hit, it will disrupt the structure of the body and it will be broken apart..."
"But this problem can be solved by wearing the Shadow Flame Armor..."
