Xu Ren also nodded and said calmly:
"You really helped me a lot by taking on this commission."
Then she turned to look at the young man next to her and said:
"This is..."
Before she could finish, the man interrupted:
"My name is Ning Yuantai."
Xue Jing was a little confused, but still nodded at him.
"Hello, my name is Xue Jing."
Ning Yuantai waved his hand.
"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. I came here specifically to give you the 'Bai Chi Gan Tou'."
"I was originally using this thing, but the higher-ups suddenly arranged for you to cut in line. Do you understand how upset I am?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Jing turned around and glanced at Xu Ren, only to receive a helpless shrug from the other party.
He thought for a moment and said, "I don't quite understand... So what do you want to do?"
Ning Yuantai twisted his neck, looked directly at Xue Jing, and glared at him, "I know you have a powerful background, but you have to understand that people must rely on themselves, just like me. I didn't use my family's connections, but made great contributions on my own and was rewarded with 'a hundred feet to go'!"
Xue Jing tilted his head and asked in confusion: "What do you want to say?"
Ning Yuantai patted his chest, making a thumping sound.
"Come on, defeat me, take the 'Bai Chi Gan Tou' yourself, and prove yourself—"
Before Ning Yuantai finished his words, a fist as white as jade was already within reach.
His pupils contracted, and in a trance, he saw a pair of silver-white eyes.
Indifferent, disdainful, as if not taking anything seriously, above everything - the eyes of God.
"boom!!"
Thunder exploded, and a figure flew backwards in a spiral like an electric fan, stirring up air waves along the way, plowing the grass into twisting furrows, and then crashed into the helicopter with a bang and sank into the fuselage.
Xue Jing retracted his fist and caught the green bamboo joint falling from the sky. His silver-white pupils were free of emotion as he looked at Ning Yuantai who was trapped in the helicopter.
"I got it, and then what?"
…
Chapter 101 Visualize Evolution, Shake the Sparks, a True Superpower! (4K)
In the cockpit of the helicopter, a mandrill, wearing a black vest and military pants, was listening to music with headphones and shaking his head. He was startled by the sudden violent vibration.
The entire helicopter's fuselage tilted and almost flipped over.
He quickly took off his headphones and turned off the helicopter.
The propeller slowly stopped turning, the cockpit door opened, and the mandrill jumped out.
"Hey, Young Master Ning?"
He looked at Ning Yuantai, whose entire body was embedded in the fuselage, and said in disbelief.
"Please, this helicopter is borrowed from the Qingcheng government, and we have to return it..."
Xue Jing tossed the green bamboo joint in his hand, and a prompt popped up on the panel.
[Divine matter detected, absorbing divinity... ]
Seeing the divinity begin to increase at a rate of several points per second, the silver-white color in Xue Jing's pupils faded, and he turned to ask Xu Ren:
"Who is this person?"
Xu Ren was stunned for a moment, recovering from the punch just now. He thought to himself, I haven't seen you for just a few days, how come you feel stronger again... Is this a genius
She spoke as calmly as possible:
"He's the man from 'Stop the War' that I told you about... As you can see, he has some mental problems."
Xue Jing pinched his chin, "Does he have a lot of power behind him?"
Xu Ren hummed, "It is very big indeed."
It’s just not as big as yours, she looked at Xue Jing and added in her heart.
"When the 'God' died and the new era just began, that chaotic period caused the entire world to undergo drastic changes."
"Heroes emerge in troubled times... During that period, we in Zhuxia produced several ruthless people who created incredible family businesses that continue to this day..."
"These families, along with several later upstarts, are known as the 'Thirteen Great Families.'"
Void Blade explained.
"The vast majority of people living in Cang Ting today are related to the Thirteen Great Families... I think you can probably understand what I mean by that."
"And this Young Master Ning is from one of the thirteen great families, the Ning family."
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Hmm? His family is so powerful, then if I beat him up, wouldn't it be bad?"
Xu Ren shook his head: "It shouldn't be the case... Although Young Master Ning seems to be a bit smart, as he often says, he doesn't rely much on his family's connections... Unless his family takes the initiative to help him."
"Moreover, the Thirteen Great Families have flourished, and the number of children in each family ranges from a few hundred thousand to over a million, not counting the bloodlines that have been completely separated."
"Although I don't know much about Young Master Ning's branch, it should not be the core of the Ning family."
Xu Ren looked at Xue Jing again and thought, do you still need to worry about this
Xue Jing nodded and said, "That's good."
He stroked the smooth surface of the green bamboo joint with his palm, looked at the divinity that had increased to more than 200, and smiled at the virtual blade:
"Captain Xu Ren, thank you for sending me the [Bai Chi Gan Tou]."
Void Blade replied, "You're welcome. This is the agreed reward... As for the mission to explore the new border, you have a maximum of ten days to prepare."
"During this period, I will send you some information about the border area. Try to read as much as possible. Ten days later, or if you want to go in earlier, you can contact me at any time."
Next to the helicopter, the mandrill finally pulled Ning Yuantai out, then hung one of his hands around his neck to support himself.
Ning Yuantai's condition did not look good. His eyes were still open but had lost focus, and his legs and feet were unstable. He looked dizzy but not completely unconscious.
Xue Jing waved to the mandrill from a distance and said hello, then said:
"By the way, Captain Void Blade, did you find out anything about Su Bijing from the Golden Wind Dojo?"
When Xu Ren heard this, his expression paused.
"I did find out something... but it's hard to talk about it. I've been banned from telling anyone."
"Now this matter... has been taken over by someone else sent by the higher-ups."
Her tone became meaningful:
"I can only say that this matter is far more complicated than you think... It's no longer just a matter of the harm done by the Tianxu Worm Queen."
"What happens next is not something you and I can get involved in, so don't worry about it."
Xue Jing nodded and said, "Is that so."
After chatting for a while longer, Xu Ren said goodbye and got on the helicopter that was dented by Xue Jing but not in any major trouble, and left.
After they left, Xue Jing touched the green bamboo joint in his hand.
[Divine power absorption completed]
The panel popped up, and Xue Jing took a look at his current amount of divinity.
[Possessing Divinity: 668]
He raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"It actually provided more than 600 points of divinity... It's a record."
According to the Divine Relic Database, the serial numbers of Divine Relics starting from 300 are purely the order of appearance and have nothing to do with specific functions, danger levels, etc.
Sequence 500 does not mean it is better than Sequence 3000. The sequence ranking between the two is simply a matter of appearing earlier or later.
So even though [Bai Chi Gan Tou] was ranked high in the sequence, Xue Jing had no expectations on how much divinity it could provide. If it exceeded 500, it would be a surprise, but if it was only 200 or 300, he would not be disappointed.
He was a little surprised that he could be offered more than 600.
"If there are more than 600... then let's upgrade Shadow Flame to a higher level first."
Xue Jing pondered for a moment and said to himself.
Shadow Flame has now found a new use, which greatly increases his combat power.
He opened the panel and moved to the divine skill column.
[Shadow Flame Lv2 (Divinity required for upgrade: 668/300)]
Xue Jing clicks to upgrade.
[Shadow Flame Lv3 (Divinity required for upgrade: 368/500)]
As soon as he thought about it, a black airflow suddenly emerged from the shadow behind him.
Silently, Xue Jing's entire body was ablaze with black flames. The fire was so intense that it danced in the air and submerged him entirely.
"With the same consumption, the converted shadow flames increased by about one third..."
Xue Jing's mind moved, and the burning black flames stopped immediately. Its shape suddenly changed, flowing through his body like water, turning into a layer of black membrane, wrapping his whole body, as if he was wearing a black armor that covered his entire body.
“It’s much easier to operate, and the membrane’s morphology is very stable, with no signs of being out of control.”
Xue Jing nodded with satisfaction.
He snapped his fingers, and the black membrane covering his whole body instantly turned into black flames, which separated from his body and swept forward with a roar.
A spiral tornado of pitch-black flames with a diameter of several meters destroyed everything in its path. A deep groove was plowed into the grass with a smooth groove. It did not look like it was burned at all, but rather was shoveled out by the mouth of some giant beast with extremely sharp teeth.
When the black flame tornado was more than 20 meters away, Xue Jing realized that he could no longer control it.
The uncontrolled black flames then exploded and transformed into countless small balls of black flames, annihilating large areas of grass and soil before they were finally consumed.
"The power has been increased, and the free control distance has also been increased by nearly half, which is very good."
Xue Jing nodded.
“This is the next thing.”
He tossed the green bamboo joint in his hand.
"I have to wear it on my head for three days... This color is not good."
Xue Jing's mouth twitched as he looked at the bright green color of the bamboo...
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Xue Jing put it on his head without hesitation.
"Spiritual talents... how do you think about it?"
Xue Jing looked thoughtful.
According to Wu Youqing, as long as you put it on your head, don't do anything deliberately for three days, stay lazy, but think about practicing something in your heart, you can improve the talent related to it.
"In this case..."
Xue Jing opened the panel and looked at his only spiritual skill at the moment—visualization.
"It's decided to be you."
…
In the next three days, Xue Jing, with great efforts, began a lazy life that he had not had for a long time.
Ever since the health-preserving skill was activated, he has maintained high energy and has not experienced the feeling of 'not working hard' for a long time.
Every morning I open my eyes and close them immediately to take a nap. I sleep until noon and then get up to eat the meal prepared by the cat. Then I turn on the computer in my room and watch anime and play games. I have watched (and played) all the animation movies and games that I have been interested in recently but have not had time to deal with.
Although his actions seemed useless, his heart always maintained a surging enthusiasm, and he always maintained the desire to "work hard" and "cultivate visualization", and he was consistent and was not eroded in the slightest by the happy and decadent life.
Three days later, Xue Jing was lying on the bed, scrolling through his phone.
At this moment, the bamboo joints above his head made a slight crackling sound.
Xue Jing suddenly perked up.
