"Oh, there's one more thing."
Xue Jing: “Hmm?”
"There is someone who wants to invite you to meet him through the channels of the Galaxy Club." Jiang Siwei said.
Xue Jing was puzzled: "Who?"
"Ogai Suzuka."
Jiang Siwei said a name that was somewhat unexpected to Xue Jing.
Although his purpose of joining U19 was to snipe Mika Suzuka and get the [Unsharpened Blade] in his hand, this purpose should not be exposed.
After thinking for a while, Xue Jing asked, "Did he give a reason?"
Jiang Siwei shook her head: "No... But this person is famous all over the world for being a martial arts fanatic. He must have watched your competition video and thought you were amazing, so he wanted to have a conversation with you on a whim."
"Is that so?" Xue Jing thought for a moment and nodded.
"Well, it would be nice to meet him. When?"
It would be nice if you could find a chance to win the [Unsharpened Blade] before the game.
Jiang Siwei said: "He said that as long as you have time, you can come anytime."
…
In the afternoon, at the Zhige base.
The rooftop of the building where Xue Jing lives is an extremely spacious place for practicing martial arts, with all kinds of facilities available.
At this time, Xue Jing was standing on the rooftop, holding a palm-sized handleless black blade in his hand, studying it carefully.
"Inch Dragon III Blade Type Floating Sword..."
This thing is a trophy obtained from the Giant God Brigade.
According to Ning Yuantai, it was made from the core organs of a special dragon species called 'Cunlong'.
The so-called "Cunlong", as its name suggests, is the smallest dragon species observed by humans so far. The body length of an adult Cunlong is less than five centimeters and looks like a flying insect.
Like all dragon species, Cunlong is born with an anti-gravity biological force field, which allows it to fly freely in the sky. Moreover, although its body is small, the concentration of its biological force field is higher than that of ordinary dragon species, so its flying ability is extremely fast and flexible.
Combining its characteristics, a weapons company has made its core organ into this freely controllable floating sword, which can be used just like the flying sword in the novels of cultivating immortals.
"Crackle—"
Arcs of electricity flashed, and silver-white lightning dragon horns grew on Xue Jing's forehead.
He stretched out a finger, and a silver arc shot towards the 'Inch Dragon Floating Sword' and attached to it.
The electric current penetrated deep into its interior and turned on a switch, starting it. Suddenly, the Cunlong Floating Sword flew up and paused in the air.
Xue Jing stared at the floating sword, controlling it with dragon thunder, and slowly circled it around himself.
Previously, although he could use the power of dragon thunder to influence gravity to control the movement of objects, it had no practical value due to reasons such as high consumption, lack of flexibility, low speed, and insufficient power.
However, this floating sword is different. It has an extremely strong biological force field, is fast and flexible, and was made as a weapon, so it has quite good lethality.
Originally, this thing required a remote control to be implanted in the brain and controlled by brain waves, but Xue Jing obviously did not intend to install any foreign objects in his body, so he tried to attach Dragon Thunder to it and simulate brain waves to control it.
In this way, the dragon thunder does not need to be converted into gravity, and the consumption is very small. The floating flight depends entirely on the force field of the floating sword itself, and the dragon thunder only acts as a remote control.
As the floating sword kept circling, Xue Jing became more and more proficient in controlling it. He looked at the alloy dummy fist pile next to him and snapped his fingers.
"call out-"
The black floating sword flashed with silver-white electric light, and suddenly accelerated, stabbing straight towards the fist post.
During the process, Xue Jing suddenly had an idea, and countless shadow air currents wrapped around the floating sword, covering it with a layer of black flames. At the same time, silver electric currents were released, turning it into a sword of black flames and white thunder.
"Squeak—"
Without any hindrance, the floating sword passed through the heart of the fist.
Seeing this, Xue Jing nodded.
"All weapons are proficient, this is a flying sword."
…
Chapter 221 Xue Jing is an 'oddity', and starts fighting with Otogi Suzuka within five seconds of meeting him (4K)
In a certain dojo in Yuancheng.
Ogame Suzuka was kneeling on the ground, with a coffee table in front of her, on which were two cups of greenish tea.
Opposite him was a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged.
He was a very strange middle-aged man, with an ordinary appearance, neither good nor bad, an average figure, neither short nor tall, and ordinary clothes, neither trendy nor rustic.
This person, who would not be more eye-catching than a stone if thrown on the street, exudes a creepy and strange feeling all over his body.
Distorted, inharmonious... It was as if an African elephant appeared in the Arctic glacier, with a star-gazing pie placed in the middle of the Manchu-Han banquet, which had a weird "different style".
This extremely obvious feeling of disharmony will make people who see him feel extremely irritated, as if a thorn was stuck in their flesh, and they would want to pull it out on the spot and develop an instinctive disgust for it.
But Otogi Suzuka seemed to turn a blind eye to this. His beautiful androgynous face did not show any disgust. Instead, he smiled, made a gesture of invitation, and spoke softly:
"Mr. Fox, try it. This is the Gyokuro tea from my hometown."
The middle-aged man called Mr. Fox did not touch the cup of tea in front of him. Instead, he shook his head and looked around, and asked curiously:
"Your family is not one of the six great chaebols of the Far East, so why is your residence so shabby?"
His voice was very peculiar, with a faint emphasis, as if two people were talking at the same time, overlapping each other, with a heaviness and a sharpness at the same time.
Otogi Suzuka smiled and said, "The so-called chaebols are not born into the chaebol family. My ancestor was just an 'Otogi (a person who chats with his employer)' in a small noble family during the Edo period. He was a lowly person who didn't even have the right to have a surname. It was not until the Meiji Restoration that all citizens could have surnames, and that's when I got the surname Otogi."
"One of my family mottos is to never forget the origin of the Yujia surname, to remember one's own humbleness, and not to be arrogant."
"When you are in a foreign country, it is a blessing to have a place to live. How can you ask for too much?"
Mr. Fox gave him an ambiguous look, and a smile seemed to appear on his face: "You speak Chinese well, but it's too formal, not colloquial enough, and a bit rigid."
Okasuzuka said modestly: "I'm still studying hard."
Mr. Fox stroked his chin and stared at Otogi Suzuka with a strange look:
"I've seen quite a few Far Easterners in the organization, but this is the first one as 'normal' as you."
Ouga Suzuka took a sip from the teacup and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Should I be happy?"
Mr. Fox shook his head: "I'm just talking casually, you just listen casually. There are no truly normal people in our organization. Even if they look normal on the surface, they are just anthropomorphic."
Mika Suzuka smiled and said, "Mr. Fox's words make me feel complicated."
"Okay, I came to you this time because I want to ask you for help with something." Mr. Fox picked up the Jade Dew tea on the coffee table.
Okasuzuka said, “Please speak.”
Mr. Fox drank the tea in one gulp, smacked his lips, and said:
"You know Xue Jing, right?"
After he finished speaking, he paused, as if he had received some information, and suddenly said:
"Oh, by the way, at this time, you will be meeting him soon."
Ogisuzuka narrowed her eyes.
"I hope you can lose to him... as unnoticed as possible, as if you really lost." Mr. Fox said leisurely.
"Why?" asked Otogi Suzuka.
Mr. Fox raised a finger and said:
"This person has a huge amount of 'abnormality' that will be constantly involved in countless causes and effects. If we allow it to grow and develop, one day it will bring great turmoil to the entire world."
"In our industry, we call such people 'outliers'."
He pointed his finger at Otogi Suzuka: "But now he has too little time to grow... and you are too strong."
"I need you to become bait and feed yourself to him to help him go further."
"In return, I will tell you three things you want to know."
After a pause, Mr. Fox continued, "Anything."
Ogame Suzuka didn't speak immediately, but took a sip of tea, put the cup on the coffee table, then placed her hands flat on her thighs, her body straight and graceful.
He shook his head and said:
"I refuse."
Mr. Fox's expression did not change: "Oh?"
"Mr. Fox, please forgive me for being blunt, but you are insulting martial arts."
Ogisuzuka's expression gradually became cold.
"Don't allow for secrets, be upright, do your best, burn yourself, and do your best to defeat the opponent, or be defeated by the opponent. I think this is the necessary respect for true warriors."
"What you asked me to do is forcing me to insult him, and also forcing me to insult myself, and even more so, to insult martial arts."
"I demand an immediate apology from you."
Mr. Fox was stunned for a moment, then laughed for no apparent reason: "Interesting little brat."
"Never mind, this is fine."
"Since he is an anomaly, how can he be free from suffering? Even the Jiwu King back then..."
He stood up and looked at Ougasuzuka.
"I apologize to you. This is indeed an inappropriate request... You are indeed a member of the organization."
As he was speaking with emotion, Mr. Fox had already disappeared in the dojo.
Ogame Suzuka sat upright, not paying attention to Mr. Fox's sudden disappearance, but slightly blinking her eyelids, thinking about something.
At this time, the sliding door of the room was pushed open, and a young man with a serious and resolute face walked in and spoke in Far Eastern language:
"Young Master, who was that person just now?"
Otogi Suzuka came back to his senses, glanced at the young man, and said in the same Far Eastern language: "He is called Kitsuneko."
“Foxes sleep on the broken bricks, rabbits run on the deserted terraces, all of which were once places for singing and dancing… This is an old saying in the Chinese world, describing the ups and downs of the world, and that man is the madman who wants to make all the world fall into chaos.”
The young man seemed to understand but not quite, and could only respond blankly: "...I see."
Yuuga Suzuka smiled and said, "Taiping, has Mr. Xue replied to me?"
He thought of what Hu Mianzi had just said, 'You will meet him soon.'
Hu Mianzi has never been wrong in what he said. Since he said so, Xue Jing must have agreed to meet him.
As expected, the young man named Taiping nodded and said:
"The Galaxy Club has already responded, saying that Master Xue Jing will come to visit this afternoon."
Otogi Suzuka looked expectant: "Really? That's great."
…
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Jing took a suspended high-speed monorail train and arrived at Area A3, one of the so-called wealthy areas in Yuancheng.
Following the address marked on the bracelet, he quickly found a large dojo with a Japanese style.
Xue Jing glanced at the sign of the dojo.
"Wakamiya Dojo... This is it."
"Let's go in and take a look... Hmm? What's going on?"
He turned to look at the cat squatting on his shoulder and asked in confusion.
At this moment, the cat's fur all over its body stood up, as if it had been electrocuted, and it looked much fluffier than usual. Silver-white snake-killing spearheads popped out of its two front paws, sparkling in the sun, and hurt Xue Jing's shoulder a little.
"I don't know... I seemed to smell a strange smell, and then that was it."
The cat didn't understand what was going on, and just looked around with inexplicable vigilance.
"This feeling is the same as when I first entered Yuancheng and was on the plane... I originally thought it was because I entered the Dragon Cult base, but now it seems that's not the case."
