Ning Yuantai seemed to have expected his answer, and explained without changing his expression:
"Xue...Brother Xue, we are different from White Crow in that we are a team composed entirely of martial artists, and all the resources we have are also geared toward martial artists."
"Like martial arts schools, Zhige has the inheritance of most of the martial arts schools in the country, including both old and new martial arts."
"The nature of the work is not as uncertain as that of Bai Ya, because I am responsible for criminal cases involving martial artists, and my opponents are all martial artists with traces to follow. As long as the arrangements are made properly, they can basically be solved smoothly. Moreover, fighting with martial artists can also improve oneself, especially for old martial artists like you."
Ning Yuantai said a lot, but Xue Jing just shook his head unmoved.
The power of the inherited martial arts can only be exerted in conjunction with the corresponding physical body. His body is already in the shape of the Hidden Dragon Style. The power of other martial arts will definitely be greatly discounted in his hands. They are only of reference value and are not necessary.
As for opportunities for actual combat, he has no shortage of them. With the ability to consciously simulate, he can fight against opponents he has met an unlimited number of times.
"No need to say so much, I'm really not interested." Xue Jing said.
"Is it really like that?" Ning Yuantai looked as if he had expected it.
He had asked Xu Ren for details before coming here, and knew that Xue Jing was very resistant to the idea of joining the organization and being bound by it, so he did not hold out any expectations and just did his best.
So he spoke out his real purpose.
"Then let's do this, Brother Xue."
"The conditions are exactly the same as those of the White Crow. How about you also become a non-staff member of our 'Zhi Ge'?"
Xue Jing didn't say anything, just looked at him.
"The mission is given to you in the form of a commission. It's up to you whether you accept it or not. As for the rewards... we can also provide divine relics and martial arts resources."
Ning Yuantai said sincerely:
"You have only just started practicing martial arts, so you don't understand many things yet. The environment here in the outer ring is not good either, which limits your vision."
"The road of martial arts is very long... much longer than you can imagine. The further you go on this road, the more resources you will need, and the more precious they are."
"Many resources cannot be bought even with money. Many talented warriors have wasted decades of their lives because they were unable to break through due to lack of resources..."
"You don't understand it deeply now because you are just starting out and you are not short of resources yet."
"Believe me, being associated with Zhi Ge will definitely be of great benefit to you."
Xue Jing's expression remained unchanged, he just smiled and said, "Why are you so persistent with me? You are even willing to give me such conditions, is it because of that 'Boss Wu'?"
Ning Yuantai seemed to hesitate for a moment, then nodded and shook his head:
"To be honest, there are reasons for this... Bai Ya's side should be mostly due to this, as for me... it's half and half."
Xue Jing asked curiously, "What exactly is her identity? Even the people in your agency seem to want to please her."
Ning Yuantai pondered and said, "If you still don't know... then I can't say much, she has to tell you in person."
"Is that so?" Xue Jing nodded, and then asked:
"So... you said the reason was half and half, half of which was because of Mr. Wu, what was the other half?"
Ning Yuantai did not answer this question, but his attitude suddenly became inexplicably respectful... even awe-inspiring, and he said carefully:
"Can you... let me see your eyes?"
…

After Ning Yuantai left, Xue Jing glanced at the panel and then closed it.
The silver-white color in his pupils gradually faded, and his expression returned to normal from indifference and contempt.
He still accepted Ning Yuantai's invitation and became a non-staff member of "Zhi Ge" after Bai Ya.
If what Ning Yuantai said was all true, then accepting this invitation would have considerable benefits.
And Ning Yuantai... most likely wouldn't lie to him.
"The skill of Charm combined with the artistic conception of the Heavenly Will Sword... is very dangerous."
Xue Jing pondered.
He thought of Ning Fengwan's reaction that day and Ning Yuantai's reaction just now.
"If it were ancient times, I guess I could play as Jesus, Sakyamuni or something like that."
Xue Jing shook his head.
He didn't like this strange attraction very much, and even felt a little creepy.
"Try not to let people around you see this form, otherwise... I'm afraid something I don't want to see will happen."
Xue Jing took a breath, cleared his mind, walked to the lake, and sat down cross-legged.
Then his mind sank into the space of consciousness and began to construct the scene.
Streets, dark alleys, rainy nights...
“Boom—”
“Hua La La La—”
The rainstorm was overwhelming, and in the dark rainy night, the only source of light was the lightning and thunder in the sky.
The pixel blocks rotated and converged, materializing Xue Jing's body.
He clenched his right hand, holding the Futu Knife.
Then, a figure slowly appeared in front of him.
“Crack—Boom!”
Amidst the thunder and lightning, the pitch-black alley was brightened for a moment, revealing the true face of the figure.
An extremely handsome face, an indifferent and contemptuous expression, and a Futu knife in his right hand.
And those silver pupils that even the pitch-black night couldn't hide.
It was Xue Jing himself.
"Come on, let me see how strong I am..."
Xue Jing was a little excited. He swung the Futu Knife in his hand. His eyes were dyed silver-white, but a black flame was quietly burning in the center.
The originally pitch-black rainy night suddenly became clear in his eyes.
The silver-white blade was stained with a layer of black film. Xue Jing said to himself:
"If it were me... how would I handle this?"
"Black Sky Blade - Thunderstorm!"
"boom!"
Thunder roared.
The dark spiral tornado blade light chopped the ground into pieces, wrapping up the rain curtain in it, crushing everything in its path like a meat grinder, and swept towards the figure opposite.
'Xue Jing' did not move, and did not dodge or evade. The moment the pitch-black tornado approached him, the blade in his hand was also coated with a black film.
Then he held the blade in both hands, and the whole person spun rapidly like a top, turning into a vertical black tornado.
The two tornadoes collided horizontally and vertically, making a hissing sound similar to that of metal rubbing against each other, and the stalemate lasted for a long time.
In the end, Xue Jing's long-range attack was powerless and shattered into scattered sword lights, splitting the rain curtain and cutting countless deep grooves in the surrounding ground and walls.
"You're using the Golden Scale Transformation to resolve the problem while holding the knife. You're worthy of me."
Xue Jing looked at the figure that had stopped spinning and was unharmed, his eyes filled with excitement.
He stepped on the spot and disappeared at the same time as Xue Jing.
The next moment, countless clanging sounds rang out.
Two figures appeared and disappeared in the rain. Every time they met, a flash of sword appeared, and the sharp energy overflowed, leaving sharp gaps on the ground and walls.
The heavy rain curtain would be rolled up to create gaps from time to time. The two men kept moving at an extremely fast speed. They were on a tall building the previous moment and on the ground the next moment. The clanging sound of metal clashing almost never stopped.
The two people who used the twin speeds at the same time moved at a speed that was completely unlike that of humans. It was almost as outrageous as something out of a super fighting comic.
Pitch-black flames blazed everywhere, and the surrounding buildings exploded one after another. In just over ten minutes, the entire street was in ruins and in a mess.
They were fighting at full strength, without even the consumption limit of their divine skills. The two Xue Jings were even stronger than in reality. The aftermath of the battle alone was extremely terrifying.

“clang!”
The two swords collided again. Xue Jing felt the tremendous force coming from the blade in his hand and sighed secretly, thinking that he was worthy of it.
"boom!"
A strong force was poured into the blade. Xue Jing on the opposite side also performed the same action at the same time. The place where the blades met exploded, clearing a vacuum zone with a diameter of nearly three meters in the rain curtain. The two figures flew backwards for more than ten meters each.
At the same time, thunder and lightning sounded in the sky, which brought light while also creating countless shadows on the ground.
These shadows only existed for a moment, and both Xue Jings seized this moment, transforming these shadows into black air currents, igniting large patches of black flames, and surging towards each other.
The pitch-black shadow flame is not fire in essence, it merely appears in the form of fire and has the destructive power to simply annihilate matter.
The two surging shadow flames collided with each other, constantly annihilating each other, and disappeared silently into the air.
…
After more than half an hour, the scene that Xue Jing had imagined had been almost completely destroyed, with criss-crossing gaps and huge pits everywhere.
He let go completely, without any regard for Xue Jing who was around him, and his destructive power was inhuman.
The battle was not over yet, but his spirit was beginning to fail.
The continuous consciousness simulation and the extremely intense and fierce battles have almost exhausted the mental strength.
He thought about it and stopped fighting. Xue Jing, who was rushing towards him, turned into countless small pixels and dissipated.
"I finally realized how difficult I am."
Xue Jing sighed.
After fighting with himself, he truly felt how powerful he was.
Defense, speed, destructive power... all are maxed out, the comprehensiveness is too exaggerated, a complete hexagonal warrior.
He himself was helpless and there was no way to determine the winner.
"Unless someone crushes me with absolute strength... Otherwise, as long as I have the ability to fight back, it will be hard for me to lose... This is the charm of the bucket."
Xue Jing thought to himself.
He thought about it and exited the consciousness space.

[Weapon attack increased to Lv5 (21/2000)]
Xue Jing sat cross-legged, placed the Futu Knife on his knees, and gently stroked the scabbard.
A strong feeling of blood connection came from the palm that touched Fu Tu.
Faintly, I seem to be able to feel the 'emotions' of the knife.
Serene, gentle, and dark... It's like the bright moon in the sky, quietly gazing at the earth, without wavering for a thousand years.
When you sheath the sword, the dark moon sets in the west; when you draw the sword out of the sheath, the bright moon rises in the sky.
Xue Jing seemed to understand something and sat still.
Gradually, even though he was not wearing glasses, his presence faded away.
Silver-white began to permeate his pupils, but unlike the previous feeling of indifference, contempt, and divinity, the silver-white at this moment was like the moonlight in the sky, soft and calm, giving people a sense of stability.
A squirrel came trotting to Xue Jing with an acorn in its hand, jumped onto his knees without any fear, squatted down, and started to gnaw the acorn in its hand.
A breeze blew by, and Xue Jing's gentle eyes looked at a crucian carp in the lake.
