I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

The black flames grew larger and larger, gradually covering a distance of more than ten meters around him, and then began to materialize, forming a semi-transparent, huge black skeleton.

Then come the tendons, flesh and blood... the body's tissues emerge layer by layer from the skeleton, eventually forming a complete, huge, and robust human body, no longer just the upper body as before.

Xue Jing's true form was hidden in the very center of the chest of the enormous, pitch-black human body.

"boom!!"

The shadow flames then ignited on the giant human body, transforming into a magnificent and ancient suit of armor covering the entire body. Each armor plate was more exquisite than when it was at Lv4, and its color was also deeper and darker, adorned with clusters of black flames.

As the helmet materialized, covering the head and revealing only pale, empty eyes, the Shadowflame Armored Giant, nearly fifteen or sixteen meters tall, was finally fully completed.

"Roar--!!"

The amethyst giant wolf let out a defiant roar at the pitch-black giant, the sound so loud that the entire world seemed to tremble.

In the distance, inside the airplane cabin, Xu Ren and Shan Xiao stared in disbelief through the porthole at the mythical scene of giants and wolves.

"He... wasn't even going all out just now?"

Xue Jing, located in the 'cockpit' in the middle of his chest, carefully sensed the changes in the Lv5 Shadow Flame.

"Very good, the scale has expanded and the intensity has increased considerably."

"It's also smoother to operate, allowing for more precise maneuvers..."

Xue Jing's eyes flickered as he thought of a use for it.

"Maybe we can give it a try..."

As the force of its leg kicking dissipated, the black giant, who could not fly, began to fall downwards.

"Roar--!!"

The amethyst giant wolf roared, its four legs seemingly running through the air as it charged at incredible speed toward the black giant. Its massive body stirred up the air currents, tearing the clouds apart on both sides of its path.

Xue Jing controlled the pitch-black giant, its arms and legs spread wide, as it free-fell, getting closer and closer to the giant wolf charging upwards below.

Just as the two were about to collide, Xue Jing's gaze sharpened.

The human body simulated by the shadow flames of the pitch-black giant began to undergo various changes.

At this moment, if a martial artist could see through the giant's body, they would be astonished to discover something.

It was actually... using breathing techniques to mobilize its energy!

Spiral grooves appeared on the giant's right arm, which was covered by armor.

Xue Jing's eyes lit up.

Although it cannot be compared to the extremely precise human body, and the method is quite crude and brutal, his forced mobilization of the giant's internal meridians and the peristalsis of his flesh and blood actually had an effect, generating a little bit of strength!

"bring it on!"

The giant raised his right arm high.

"Fuck Super Tornado Thunder!"

The massive right fist covered by the gauntlet swung out suddenly, unleashing a visible spiral of air that hurtled towards the nearby giant wolf's head.

"boom----!!"

An unprecedentedly terrifying and enormous sound, a violent shockwave tore through the clouds within a hundred meters, creating a kind of vacuum. The intense sound waves reverberated outwards, and the windows of distant aircraft cracked open, nearly shattering completely.

"Quick, drive further away! Don't get so close to them!"

Xu Ren quickly gave the order.

"Click—click click click—"

The giant wolf's purple crystal head shattered instantly from the punch, scattering countless crystal fragments. The black giant's entire forearm also crumbled into countless black flames.

"Ow—"

The giant wolf let out a painful roar, and after being knocked dozens of meters away, it forcibly stopped its body, shook its head, and its shattered skull began to recover. It then pounced again.

Xue Jing immediately drew out a dense stream of black energy, which transformed into black flames and filled the giant's arm.

Then spiral indentations appeared on both arms—

"Ora ora ora ora ora ora!!"

Countless dark fist shadows covered the giant wolf, bang bang bang bang bang!

The relentless, unpredictable attacks rained down on the giant wolf's crystalline body, shattering it into countless fragments and preventing it from getting close.

Every punch carries a weight too heavy for life to bear, every punch is a ruthless act that shows no mercy to family.

The giant wolf howled as it was beaten, and in its desperation, the crystalline fur on its body suddenly stood on end.

"咻咻咻咻——"

A barrage of crystal spikes rained down on the black giant, striking its body and producing a constant clanging and clashing sound.

The black armor was torn apart, and the crystal spikes pierced the giant's body, going in more than a meter before stopping. Seeing this, Xue Jing withdrew the giant's arms and held them to his chest.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle—"

In just a few seconds, the giant's body was covered with countless thin, crystalline spikes.

Looking at the giant's arm in front of him, which had been pierced through and revealed its crystalline spikes, Xue Jing raised an eyebrow.

Countless black flames erupted from the giant's body, burning away the crystal spikes that were stuck in it, and then filling and repairing the giant's body.

Then, the giant assumed a gripping posture with both hands, and a large amount of black flames burned on its palms, materializing a black longsword.

"Damn it, the Dragon-Slaying Sword!"

The giant wielded a long, black sword and slashed at the giant wolf with the force of splitting a mountain.

"Shh-"

The amethyst giant wolf was split in two from the very middle, starting with its head. The gap extended from the head to the abdomen, almost breaking its entire body in two.

Xue Jing, who had been using his keen eyesight, noticed something unusual inside the giant wolf's cracked amethyst body.

There is a bright spot somewhere on the right side of his body.

That must be where the leader of the Sky Pirates is—Xue Jing realized instantly.

His entire body leaped directly out of the 'cockpit'.

Twin Speed, activate!

A thin black plate appeared, and Xue Jing stepped onto it with both feet, then pushed off forcefully, heading towards the interior of the giant wolf's body, which was gradually healing.

"The Gundam battle is over, now it's time for pilots to fight each other."

With the speed of twins, Xue Jing's speed was truly like an arrow released from a bow, instantly approaching that 'point'.

Black flames erupted from his right fist, and materialized dragon energy emerged from his body, coiling around him as he activated the Twin Powers.

"Whirlwind Thunder!"

A thunderous roar erupted, and the spiraling energy caused the black flames to spin as well, slamming into the crystal wall in front of them.

"Crack!"

The crystal shattered, revealing a deep, spiral-shaped hole. At the end of the hole, a piece of rubber clothing buried inside the crystal could be vaguely seen.

That is where the Sky Pirate Leader's true form is located.

Xue Jing immediately crawled into the cave, raised his fist high, and felt his blood boil, as if ten thousand sparks were being ignited and bursting open.

"ended."

he said to himself.

The fist, powerful enough to shatter steel and break iron, leaped over the crystalline wall, bypassed the tough implant membrane, and exploded inside its body.

……

On the plane in the distance, Void Blade and Mountain Demon watched the battle between the giant and the giant wolf through the cracked porthole with bated breath.

"It seems that Xue Jing's true form jumped in?"

"What's the situation now?"

The mandrill swallowed hard, looking nervous.

Xu Ren said, "Xue Jing has a high talent for actual combat and would not do anything reckless. He must have found the weakness of that Sky Pirate."

As if in response to her words, the amethyst giant wolf stiffened a moment later.

Immediately afterwards, the body began to crack inch by inch, with more and more cracks appearing and getting bigger.

As cracks spread throughout its entire body, the giant wolf reached its limit and, with a crack, shattered completely.

Countless crystal fragments shimmered in the sunlight, like a magnificent rain curtain. Xue Jing stood tall amidst the countless crystal raindrops, holding a muscular man who was limp and powerless, as if he had no bones.

Xu Ren stared blankly at the scene, somewhat lost in thought.

"Holy crap, he won!"

The mandrill exclaimed in shock.

Xu Ren snapped out of his daze, picked up the walkie-talkie on the wall, and said, "Xiao Jing, drive over there."

……

Xue Jing stepped on the thin black board in the air, and with a few leaps, jumped onto the fuselage of the plane that came to pick him up.

The hatch was opened, and he grabbed the pirate leader, flipped himself down, and nimbly entered the cabin.

"elder brother!"

The mandrill immediately knelt down in front of him and hugged his leg.

"I, a mandrill, have wandered for half my life, only regretting that I have not met a wise ruler. If you do not despise me, I am willing to become your sworn brother!"

He spoke with a sincere expression.

Xue Jing tossed the pirate leader he was holding to the ground, ignored the mountain demon, and pretended to wipe non-existent sweat from his forehead, sighing:

"That was close, I almost got killed, luckily I was more skilled..."

……
