I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"..." Xu Ren stood calmly to the side, saying nothing.

The helicopter slowly descended. For some reason, the landing site this time was much farther from Xue Jing, dozens of meters farther than three days ago.

The propellers slowly stopped spinning, the hatch opened, and three figures jumped out of the fuselage one after another.

Ning Yuantai gazed at the distant, imposing figure, as upright as an ancient pine tree, and took a deep breath.

Then, he stomped his foot and burst into motion, disappearing from his spot as he charged toward his opponent at top speed.

"Round 2!"

"Xue Jing, come and fight!"

……

Chapter 104 That is the Eye of God, the New Martial Arts System Crimson Volcano Flow (4K)

"Captain, aren't we going to stop Young Master Ning?"

The mountain demon watched Ning Yuantai rush out and spoke to the Void Blade.

"If Young Master Ning gets seriously injured by Xue Jing, we'll probably get criticized too."

Xu Ren answered calmly:

"Don't worry, although he was easily defeated a few days ago, Young Master Ning is not weak."

"If he is well prepared, Xue Jing... might not necessarily be his match."

She looked towards the two people who were about to meet in the distance.

“A month ago, Young Master Ning successfully consumed the second set of forbidden medicines of the ‘Red Lotus Volcano Flow’ and initially mutated into a ‘Volcano Alien’…”

……

Seeing the figure rushing towards him, Xue Jing raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised.

"interesting."

His exceptional dynamic vision allowed him to clearly see that Ning Yuantai's body suddenly began to turn red as he charged towards him.

His skin, hair... and even the surrounding air, all exploded with a ring of crimson air within a half-meter radius around him, just like the power-up mode of a fighting manga character.

"What is this? A heterologous plant? A special cultivation technique?"

Xue Jing, who had been standing still pretending to be a master, suddenly became interested.

The crimson figure had already arrived.

Ning Yuantai felt the power within his body boiling like the inside of a volcano, about to explode. His confidence soared, and he completely banished the shadow cast by those silver-white eyes.

"Will win!"

He thought to himself.

Having joined the prestigious Red Lotus Dojo, he endured years of suffering from the physical distortions caused by banned drugs, and finally began to refine the Volcanic Body, which is renowned throughout the martial arts world.

Volcanic eruptions are among the most devastating natural disasters on this planet.

A volcanic anomaly that completely simulates the internal movements of a volcano using the human body naturally possesses the most terrifying explosive power.

Even if one has only just begun, it is by no means comparable to mere old martial arts.

"I was just careless three days ago, Xue Jing. Can you withstand this fully activated 'volcanic anomaly'?"

Ning Yuantai was thrilled. Looking at Xue Jing, who was close at hand and looked somewhat surprised, he channeled all his energy, like boiling magma, into his right hand and swung it out like a cannonball.

"puff--"

An explosive burst of power, centered on the crimson fist, blasted out a ring of crimson air waves, like lava scattering after a volcanic eruption, towards Xue Jing.

Xue Jing's pupils contracted slightly as he sensed something was amiss.

Having practiced martial arts for a long time, he has an extraordinary understanding of human anatomy.

The way this punch was channeling its power was extremely strange, completely different from the way martial artists channeled their power as he knew them; it was a completely different system.

"Is it a new weapon system involving the use of banned drugs?"

"Interesting, a rare opportunity. Let's try a head-on confrontation."

Xue Jing was delighted at the sight of his prey. He clenched his right fist, channeling his energy, and a spiral indentation appeared on his right arm, converging towards his fist.

"Whirlwind Thunder!"

"boom!"

Amidst the thunderous roar, his right fist, swirling with swirling air currents, was unleashed with overwhelming force.

"boom!!"

The moment their fists collided, a loud explosion caused both Xu Ren and Shan Xiao, who were watching from a distance, to feel a sharp pain in their eardrums and involuntarily cover their ears.

The grass was torn apart, and dirt flew everywhere, obscuring the view and making it impossible to see the specifics of the battlefield.

At that moment, a figure flew straight out of the dust cloud formed by the soil and crashed hard into the grassy slope dozens of meters away.

"Huh, Xue Jing!?"

The mandrill exclaimed in surprise.

This exchange of punches... it actually seems like... Xue Jing lost?

In the distance, Xue Jing sprang to his feet with a somersault. His entire body, except for the area above his neck, was covered with dragon scale marks, but he had activated his Golden Scale Skin by surging his skin with energy.

He was unharmed, except for a slight soreness in his right fist.

"This is... Shin-woo?"

Xue Jing's eyes were filled with surprise.

The instant his fists made contact, he felt that what he was punching was not a human fist at all, but a lump of magma erupting from the center of a volcano.

That fierce and domineering explosive power was completely different from Xue Jing's assessment of Ning Yuantai's strength.

"We can win, we absolutely can win!"

Ning Yuantai looked at Xue Jing, who had been sent flying by his attack, and shouted excitedly in his heart.

"As expected, I was just careless last time; he was no match for me!"

"Once the volcanic anomaly is fully activated, its power will become increasingly boiling, making it stronger with each battle. He couldn't beat me at the beginning, and he'll be even less able to beat me later!"

"Those strange eyes were just an illusion after all!"

"Win, win!"

"what!"

Ning Yuantai shouted and transformed into a streak of crimson light, rushing towards Xue Jing.

Upon seeing this, Xue Jing had a slight thought and activated the Twin Defense.

"This new weapon system is very interesting. Let's collect more data..."

With those thoughts in mind, he stepped forward and went to meet them.

This time, Xue Jing did not choose to confront Ning Yuantai head-on, but instead used a soft touch to deflect Ning Yuantai's fist.

"Straightforward and direct, without changing tactics after being countered, it seems this kind of force is difficult to control precisely..."

Xue Jing's eyes flickered.

He activated his Twin Speed, and before Ning Yuantai could react, he swiftly grabbed Ning Yuantai by the neck, lifted him up, and slammed him to the ground with a throat lock, causing the earth to crack.

"His skin is burning hot... This temperature is at least 100 degrees Celsius. Is that why he has such explosive power?"

Boiling flesh brings boiling energy?

Ning Yuantai was caught off guard by Xue Jing's sudden and swift action, but he remained calm despite the shock. The moment he was hit on the ground, his body suddenly emitted a thick layer of light red mist.

Xue Jing was about to give chase when he was blocked by a pale red mist coming towards him. The intense heat made him involuntarily squint and raise his hand to shield his eyes.

"This is... steam?"

Before he could react, a foot wreathed in crimson energy kicked toward his chest from within the pale red mist.

Xue Jing reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side while grabbing his ankle with both hands.

Then his gaze sharpened.

"Turning into Golden Scales!"

Xue Jing grabbed Ning Yuantai's foot and activated the Golden Scale Spinning Technique, spinning rapidly in place.

This move was originally intended for pure defense, using the high-speed rotating body in conjunction with the golden scales to deflect all enemy attacks.

However, using it for offense at this moment can also be quite ingenious.

"Whoohoo-"

Round and round it went, gradually accelerating. Xue Jing grabbed Ning Yuantai's foot and transformed into a giant spinning top. The swirling air currents swept in the scattered soil and weeds, gradually forming a small tornado.

After spinning hundreds of times, Xue Jing tossed it aside, and the immense kinetic energy sent Ning Yuantai flying far away.

"call out--"

"Ah!"

"crunch-"

The helicopter, which was parked a hundred meters away, was dented by Ning Yuantai's smash. The fuselage tilted to one side, and the huge propeller was stuck in the soil, as if it had hit a hard rock and was broken off.

Phantom Blade: "..."

Mandrill: "..."

After a moment of silence, the mandrill spoke with difficulty:

"The Qingcheng government said that if there are any more problems, we'll have to pay for the repairs..."

Xu Ren said calmly, "You were flying the helicopter. You didn't park it properly. You'll have to pay for the repairs."

The mandrill seemed to want to speak but hesitated, then hesitated but still wanted to.
