Like moonlight shining down gently, softly and silently, the crucian carp quietly broke into two parts, but it seemed unaware of its own situation. The two halves of its body were still swaying gently without any struggle.
After a few seconds, the crucian carp that was broken into two pieces stopped moving, but it did not show any signs of painful struggle from beginning to end and died peacefully.
Xue Jing stretched out his hand, picked up the squirrel on his knees, and looked at it with his soft silver eyes.
The squirrel met his gaze with curiosity, sensing no danger.
Xue Jing smiled, put it on the grass, then stood up and stretched.
[In the process of communicating with the blade, you have a deeper understanding of the artistic conception of the Heavenly Sword. Combined with spiritual power, you have suddenly realized a new way to use it. Weapon Attack Experience +1026]
[In the process of communicating with the blade, you have a deeper understanding of the artistic conception of the Heavenly Sword. Combined with spiritual power, you have suddenly realized a new way to use it. Visualization·True Experience Value +1582]
The soft silver-white color faded from his pupils, and Xue Jing was delighted.
"Another 'epiphany' has been triggered. What a huge experience gain!"
"Experience points are secondary. The most important thing is that I learned an interesting new trick..."
He recalled the scene of chopping off a crucian carp in the lake with one strike.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this move should be just a simple mind-slash, and can only work on other people's minds."
He speculated as thoughts flashed through his mind.
After all, what martial artists can do is "mentally interfere with their own reality", but they can't do something like super powers and cut through matter out of thin air.
However, because of his [Visualization·Truth], his mental power has the ability to interfere with the reality outside of himself, so this move of "Mental Slash" actually has the ability to cut through matter out of thin air.
"Incredible... Although this move is not very powerful and can barely chop a fish, it is obviously no problem to use it to cut the neck of an ordinary person. It is simply invincible for sneak attacks and assassinations."
"And its real power lies in its attack on other people's minds... I don't know the effect yet. The consciousness simulation can't simulate scenes that I haven't seen. I'll find an opportunity to try it later."
Xue Jing touched the Futu in his hand with gentle movements, as if he was caressing a lover, feeling the tranquility and softness of the blade.
"This epiphany is all thanks to you, Futu."
He thought for a moment and said to himself:
"Since this is a spiritual sword move learned from the sight of the bright moon, let's call it 'Tsukuyomi Slash'."
"The other person kneeled down as soon as he looked over. It's really quite 'Tsukuyomi'..."
Xue Jing covered his face with one hand, with one eye showing from between his fingers, and suddenly he felt a little bit like a middle school student.
“…A true hero kills his enemies with his eyes!”
…
Two days later.
On the runway in the small garden, Xue Jing stopped and looked at the panel.
[Running is upgraded to Lv7 (96/4500)]
Looking inward at his strengthened legs and lungs, Xue Jing nodded.
"Okay, running has finally been upgraded."
This was the skill he mastered the fastest at the beginning, but it gradually fell behind later on.
This is related to the fact that Xue Jing gradually paid less attention to it. After all, the improvements of other skills are so obvious. In comparison, the cost-effectiveness of running is not high.
That is to say, just run for an hour every day as a warm-up.
Xue Jing opened the panel and looked at his current data.
[Fitness] is only two thousand experience points away from reaching Level 9, and [Health] is almost at Level 7 after these few days of training my organs with Dragon Thunder Powder.
[Aiming] Although I haven't practiced much recently, it will soon reach Level 7.
The two new skills, [Swimming] and [Riding], have both reached Lv3 in the past few days, approaching Lv4.
“It’s a bit luxurious.”
Xue Jing looked at the panel and felt a sense of satisfaction.
I turned it off and was about to go back to play darts when I broke the [Aim] button and my phone vibrated.
When I opened it, it was a message from Wu Youqing.
[Wu Youqing: Come to the library if you have time now]
The boss invited me, so I had to go.
Xue Jing replied "OK", then immediately went home to take a shower, took the bus to the Qingda campus, and went straight to the library.
Swipe the card all the way through and reach the seventh floor.
What comes into view is the same scenery as always, a girl sitting upright on a wooden chair, holding a book in her hands, quiet and beautiful like a painting.
Xue Jing felt an inexplicable sense of security in his heart, similar to meeting a good friend whom he hadn't seen for many years and seeing that the other person still looked the same as he remembered, that strange sense of security.
Wu Youqing is such a woman who can make people feel at ease.
Seeing Xue Jing coming in, she closed the book in her hand, blinked, and pointed to the seat opposite her.
"Sit down."
Xue Jing walked forward and sat down on the chair.
There were already two teacups placed on the wooden table. The teacup in front of him was filled with black liquid, which was crackling slightly, with small bubbles rising from time to time.
Obviously Coke.
"Sister finally understands my taste. I'm touched."
Xue Jing spoke in a flat tone, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"… "
The corners of his mouth twitched and he looked at Wu Youqing helplessly.
There was a hint of teasing on the girl's originally calm face, and she seemed a little proud.
"I have arranged it for you. The boat will leave at noon tomorrow. I bought the ticket with your ID card and it will go directly to Fengcheng. You should have received the text message."
Xue Jing put the cola mixed with sweet water aside, picked up his mobile phone and took a look. Sure enough, there was a text message.
[Dear Infinity Nova Cruises Stateroom Passengers, Your reservation... ]
It lists the boarding time, the location of the pier ticket gate, the room number, and also includes a detailed website introduction to the "Infinity Nova" cruise ship, etc.
"Thank you, Boss. This boat ticket is very expensive."
Xue Jing asked with a smile.
Wu Youqing crossed her arms and said, "How expensive can a cruise be? It's not like we're chartering the entire ship."
"The main reason for taking the water route is that it's faster. Going from Qingcheng to Fengcheng by land requires a lot of transfers, which is very troublesome. If you take a plane... it's not very safe. It only takes one or two days to get there by water."
She took out a document with many sheets of paper from the small bag on the chair next to her and handed it to Xue Jing.
"The agent I arranged for you will contact you tomorrow. This is the information about the opponents you will face in the Maple City elimination match."
Xue Jing reached out and took it.
"With your current strength, there's no need to worry. After all, it's just an elimination match... But it's also good to know more about your opponent to avoid setbacks."
Wu Youqing said in a soft tone.
Xue Jing flipped open the document and said casually as he read it:
"Boss, a few days ago, a man named Ning Yuantai from Zhi Ge invited me to become a non-staff member of Zhi Ge. The conditions were the same as those offered by Bai Ya, so I agreed."
"Is there anything I should be aware of?"
Wu Youqing thought for a moment and said, "Ning Yuantai? I seem to have some impression of this name. He should be from the Ning family."
"Since you are practicing martial arts, then being associated with Zhi Ge is generally a good thing."
"There's just one thing to note."
Xue Jing took a quick look at the document in his hand and didn't find any opponents worthy of attention, so he closed it and looked at Wu Youqing curiously and asked:
"Which one?"
The girl hesitated for a moment and said:
"From Zhi Ge's side, don't accept any commission that has anything to do with the word 'troublemaker'."
Xue Jing looked puzzled. "'Troublemaker'? What does that mean?"
It sounds like a scolding to a child, could it be some divine relic or something
Wu Youqing seemed to be at a loss as to how to describe it. She pondered for a while and said uncertainly:
"It should be considered a terrorist organization... right?"
Xue Jing: "right?"
The girl sighed.
"Their official name is the Troublemakers Club... It's a very strange, world-class organization."
"This is an organization whose name sounds like a child's joke, and indeed it is a joke... However, this 'joke' is a bit too big."
"The sole purpose of this organization's existence, as they themselves put it, is to 'make the world a more lively place.'"
Xue Jing pinched his chin and said, "It seems very interesting."
Wu Youqing nodded, "It's really interesting."
"But anything, once taken to an extreme, can become a horrific thing."
"They kidnapped the children of the ruling councillors just to have a real gunfight with the sheriff, placed 'Titan-level' border creatures in the center of the city and then pretended to be superheroes to fight them, sneaked into two countries as spies, infiltrated each other and finally provoked a war between the two countries for fun... As long as it can make the world more lively, they can do anything."
"Sometimes, they would declare war on a big country for some small, bullied country. Sometimes, they would destroy a powerful, centuries-old pagan religion for the sake of a little girl's tears..."
"To put it simply, they are a group of psychopaths whose logic is hard for normal people to understand."
Wu Youqing rolled a strand of soft long hair with her fingers and then pushed it behind her back.
"It would be fine if they were just a bunch of psychopaths, but this group of people... are ridiculously strong."
Xue Jing nodded, "I heard it."
"In short, this is a group of terrorists who are willing to do anything as long as they think it's 'funny' or 'exciting'."
"And they are like dog-skin plasters. Once they target you, they will keep coming to you."
Wu Youqing pinched her temples and sighed as if she had a headache.
"According to Zhi Ge, this group of people 'are a pile of shit when together, and a sparse sky when apart'."
"Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, you'd better not get involved with them, or you will regret it."
"I understand." Xue Jing nodded in agreement and remembered the three words "troublemaker" firmly.
…
After staying with Wu Youqing for a while and chatting for a few minutes, Xue Jing left the library and took the bus back home.
I was just about to talk to Maomao about taking a cruise to Maple City tomorrow, but I found out that she was not at home again.
Xue Jing didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he picked up the dart from the dart tube and started throwing it at the dart board.
Now he has to use gentle force, otherwise the dart will pierce the dart board.
Each dart is an extremely precise bull's eye, and is exactly at the very center of the bull's eye, without a millimeter of deviation.
More than twenty minutes later, a prompt came from the panel.
[Aiming improved to Lv7 (1/4500)]

I am waste
In the first month after it was released, I updated the book to 130,000 words with good performance. If I tell others about it, I’m sure even the dogs on the street would laugh.
But first let me explain...
