I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

The half-giant controlling the shadow flames severed several incoming roots with a single strike, then assumed a posture of drawing a bow and nocking an arrow.

At the same time, the Shadowflame Giant did the same thing as him.

The long sword in his hand melted and transformed into a large, black bow, with a huge black arrow appearing on his two fingers.

The bowstring was drawn, and a jet-black arrow was aimed at the wooden ball in the air. The woman in black robes' eyelids twitched immediately: "This..."

"Boom—Whoosh—"

The bowstring twanged, and the arrow flew off the string, piercing the wooden ball.

The woman in black robes quickly manipulated the wooden ball to create a large opening, leaping out of it. Just as she escaped, the wooden ball was pierced directly by a huge black arrow.

"boom!"

The arrow transformed into a burst of shadow flames, annihilating the wooden sphere composed of dozens of roots without leaving a trace.

A root reached out and caught the black-robed woman who had leaped out. Before she could recover from her shock, she saw that the black giant below had already prepared a second arrow.

"Boom—Whoosh—"

The woman jumped away again to dodge, but this time she didn't completely avoid the attack.

The arrow grazed her waist, leaving a gash. Part of her black robe was obscured, revealing her slender, white waist and the edge of her pure white underwear.

Part of the skin on his waist was also cut off, along with two ribs, as if he had been bitten by a wild beast.

The woman clutched her lower back, enduring the pain, as one root caught her, while countless other roots intertwined and formed a thick barrier between her and Xue Jing.

"I am disappointed."

From the other side of the thick barrier came Xue Jing's mocking voice.

"What are you doing? You saw me use Susanoo. At this point, you should just use Wood Release: Wood Release to face me head-on to be considered polite."

"And what happened? They're still playing with their tentacles."

"Weakness, thy name is woman."

The woman in the black robe suppressed the pain in her lower back, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

She waved her hand, causing several roots to intertwine and form a spiral drill shape.

Many surrounding rhizomes underwent the same operation, forming more than a dozen drill-shaped rhizomes that pierced towards the black giant.

"What I mean is, you see that they're piloting a Gundam over there, shouldn't you pilot one too? That's what real manly romance is all about!"

Xue Jing said with a sense of disappointment.

As he spoke, he had the Shadowflame Giant transform the great black bow in its hand into a shield, deflecting all the incoming spiral drill roots.

The roots struck the shield, producing a loud thud like a hammer hitting steel plates.

"...I'm a woman, how would I know anything about men's romance?"

The woman in the black robe remained silent.

"It's okay if you don't understand, I'll teach you. You can put these tentacles together and build a wooden giant..."

While spouting nonsense, Xue Jing knelt down on one knee, his palm touching the ground.

Black energy surged in his palm, transforming into a shark.

The shark that Shadow Flame had transformed into had empty white eyes. It leaped silently into the ground, leaving only one fin sticking out. It treated the ground as an ocean and swam away to another place, disappearing into the shadows.

"...Who would use something so inefficiently, you idiot!" the woman in black robes cursed.

Xue Jing laughed and said, "Oh? Compared to your sanctimonious charlatan appearance just now, this way of speaking is much more interesting."

The woman in the black robe did not answer. A pale green fluorescence appeared on her waist, and her wounds writhed, beginning to heal at a visible speed.

She reached up and pulled back the hood of her head, revealing a beautiful and mature face.

Its left eye, unlike its dark brown right eye, is a vibrant, multicolored one.

She peeked out from behind the thick wooden wall barrier and glanced at the black giant dozens of meters away.

Just like a scene from mythology, the giant held a giant blade in one hand and a shield in the other, blocking the attacks of the root serpents and slashing off their heads.

His white, empty eyes held no emotion, and his sturdy armor was adorned with clusters of black flames, giving it an indescribable magnificence.

'If this continues, it will never end.'

Having made up her mind, the woman in the black robe reached out towards her colorful left eye.

However, gouging out an eyeball is an extremely difficult task for a person, and her hand movements were hesitant and almost trembling.

At this moment, Xue Jing suddenly spoke up: "Hey."

The woman in black robes who peeked out instinctively looked in the direction of the voice and met Xue Jing's gaze, who was inside the black, semi-transparent giant.

She saw a pair of silver-white eyes.

Like the bright moon in the sky, it is serene and gentle.

The moonlight shone out silently and gently.

The woman in black robes froze, her consciousness severed by a gentle slash.

Although it was only for a moment, the spirit, imbued with divine power, immediately broke free from the influence of the strike, but it was too late.

On the ground beside her, a faint black fin had been waiting for a long time. The Shadow Shark leaped out of the ground, opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit the woman in the black robe.

This time, instead of exploding into shadow flames, it transformed into a black steel cage, binding the woman in black robes like a dumpling, leaving only her head exposed.

"you!?"

The woman in the black robe was terrified.

Xue Jing smiled and said, "Didn't expect that, did you? I can even do Tsukuyomi!"

The woman exclaimed incredulously, "How can you possess such a strange ability? What's wrong with you?!"

"This is how we Uchiha clan are."

As Xue Jing spoke, he snapped his fingers.

On the black steel bar binding the woman, a part of it deformed into a frying pan.

"state--"

Amidst the melodious tapping sound, the woman in black robes fainted with a look of resentment on her face.

Chapter 132 Harvest: A New Divine Skill - Plant Contract! The Reliable Young A-Meng (4K)

The countless roots around it are withering away at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Xue Jing strode forward toward the black-robed woman bound like a dumpling by the Shadow Flame Steel Barrier. The black, semi-transparent giant wrapped around her slowly dissipated into Shadow Flame as he moved forward.

The plant, named Nagu... something like Cha Si, gradually withered and stopped absorbing oxygen. The thin oxygen density around it was immediately replenished by the outside world and became abundant again.

Xue Jing took a deep breath and then exhaled, feeling his body regain its activity, and said in a low voice, "Thank goodness we won."

The situation is quite critical this time.

He really hadn't imagined that one day he would face a situation where oxygen was restricted and he couldn't use his strength.

"No matter how versatile a martial arts style is, it cannot transcend the framework of the system and escape the limitations of martial arts itself."

Xue Jing pondered.

"Unless one reaches the limit-breaking realm of 'leaping over the dragon gate and transforming into a celestial being,' where the consciousness and spirit can control any minute part of the physical body, then one can naturally break free from the limitation of oxygen and use strength without the aid of oxygen..."

"Before that, we really need to be careful about whether the enemy has the ability to interfere with oxygen."

He glanced at the black-robed woman lying on the ground, fast asleep like a baby, and smiled.

Is it fair to say that being too clever for one's own good?

Using the roots of an alien plant that can absorb oxygen to deal with him would indeed be a fatal blow if he were truly just a martial artist.

However, the other party could never have imagined that he also possessed the divine skill 'Shadow Flame'.

Although the countless roots absorbed oxygen, they also blocked out the sunlight, creating a large area of shade, which ironically provided him with the perfect environment to use Shadow Flame.

The larger the surrounding shadow area of this skill, the more shadow flames it can generate, and the less it consumes.

If it weren't for such a large area of shadow, he wouldn't have been able to use it so recklessly, and even use the strange technique 'Susanoo' to condense a giant made of the strongest shadow flames at present.

"To be honest, this trick of 'sparrow food' works well." Xue Jing stroked his chin.

As long as there is sufficient Shadowflame's budget available, this is currently the strongest way to use Shadowflame.

"Big is good, more is beautiful!"

Piloting a Gundam is so much fun!

Although he can't pilot a very large one yet, as Shadowflame upgrades, one day he will be able to pilot a true Gundam.

Xue Jing silently increased the priority of using Shadow Flame's divinity by one level.

He opened the panel and took a look.
