I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"【GOD-1062 Ice Skates】...It says you can only borrow them for three days," Ning Yuantai said.

"That's enough. I just like divine relics, but I don't necessarily have to possess them."

Xue Jing nodded.

【Ice skates】 Ah... I didn't expect Zhi Ge to actually use this as a reward for him.

He had a general understanding of the ice skates' capabilities from the database; they were a divine relic with strategic significance to some extent.

Its ability is to skate on any terrain.

Once you put it on, you can move forward as smoothly as ice skating, even on a grassy field soaked in super glue, without being affected in any way.

And this 'any' is 'any' in the truest sense.

For example, you can treat the air as terrain, so that you can skate in the air like you are flying.

This divine relic is exceptionally useful. According to the database, it has proven remarkably effective in many areas where rules and terrains are complex, demonstrating its significant utility.

"In addition, there seems to be another cultivation technique, which was given to you by a certain important figure in Zhige. He said it would be very useful to you."

Ning Yuantai added.

"The cultivation technique? I understand." Xue Jing nodded.

He wasn't particularly interested in the cultivation technique, but since it was free, he figured he might as well take it.

"By the way, Yuan Tai, how's that perverted anime/manga pedophile doing?"

Xue Jing asked casually.

"You mean the Skinner... He's going through the process. Once he spills everything about his experiences and [GOD-1291] to fill the God Relic Database, he'll be shot."

Ning Yuantai continued, then added:

"The little girl the skinner saw was quite peculiar. According to him, she was an extraordinary woman who seemed to be proficient in all martial arts in the world and taught him many things."

"Therefore, the skinner named her 'Yu Yan'..."

……

After hanging up the phone, Xue Jing was in a good mood because he was about to receive another divine blessing.

After thinking it over, he decided to stop torturing his little apprentice for now, give her a break, and suffer a little while he himself would exhaust his life force to practice the Shaking Armor Technique one more time.

His health regimen is at a high level, and his vitality is exceptionally abundant and powerful. As long as he doesn't do this too often, there won't be any side effects.

If an ordinary person played like that, their lifespan would be drastically reduced on the spot, and they would be left with irreversible and deep-seated injuries.

Xue Jing assumed a fighting stance, dragon horns appeared on his head, silver-white dragon lightning swirled around him, and twelve times the force of gravity descended upon him.

More than an hour later.

[...Hidden Dragon Ruyi Force experience points +632]

[Hidden Dragon Ruyi Force upgraded to Lv10 (19/16000)]

at last!

Xue Jing collapsed to the ground, motionless.

My body was extremely tired, but my mood was extremely cheerful.

Even though he'd had the panel for so long, the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment from leveling up his skills still made him feel great.

"call--"

He paused for a long time before letting out a breath.

I couldn't wait to open the panel.

"Hmm? Isn't the maximum level for a specialized skill like Hidden Dragon Ruyi Force at Lv10?"

Xue Jing looked at the experience bar of the Hidden Dragon Ruyi Force [Lv10 (19/16000)].

"Never mind, let's focus on fusing the skills first!"

He looked at the pale gold word "Fusion" that appeared behind "Fighting" and "Hidden Dragon Ruyi Force" and clicked on it.

[Detectable fusion skill: Fighting + Hidden Dragon Ruyi Force]

[Conditions met. Spend 1000 Divine Fusion?]

【whether】

Xue Jing did not hesitate and clicked "Yes".

The next moment, the two skills on the panel gradually melted away like ink, forming vortices and intertwining.

Gradually, they became indistinguishable from one another.

Under Xue Jing's expectant gaze, the panel began to change.

The normal skill bar and the divine skill bar suddenly began to move up and down and separate, with a brand new skill bar appearing between them.

The first skill in the new skill bar will then appear.

【True Martial Arts Lv1 (Transcendent)】

[Upgrade Requirements: 0/10000 Experience Points, 1158/1000 Divinity]

Xue Jing's eyes widened slightly.

Combat techniques combined with the Hidden Dragon Ruyi Force... an extraordinary skill—True Martial Arts!

In an instant, his body suddenly began to crackle and pop.

Like muffled thunder, like surging waves.

His skin rippled like waves, as if countless rats were scurrying under his skin.

There was no pain whatsoever, only a strong tingling and tingling sensation. Xue Jing closed his eyes and looked inward at the changes within his body.

Skin, muscles, bones, blood, internal organs... everything is undergoing drastic changes.

The powerful dragon emerged automatically without his control, roaring with joy as it darted around inside his body, as if it had been trapped in shallow waters and had finally entered the ocean, arriving in a world that truly belonged to it.

After an unknown amount of time, Xue Jing's physical changes gradually subsided.

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze extremely bright.

Suddenly, two sharp, dragon-shaped beams of energy shot out from his pupils, piercing two deep holes the size of eyeballs in the wall not far away.

This is—controlling force with the eyes!

……

Chapter 191 An Extraordinary Fighting Race Surpassing Humanity! A Near-Godlike Move, Huang Po's Skill (4K)

Xue Jing looked at the two eyeball-sized holes in the wall with surprise.

"Holy crap, the Hollow Rift Eye is terrifying?"

He already had a move that used his eyes to initiate, the "Tsukuyomi" technique, which he executed by combining the tranquility of the "Rabbit-Taming Blade" with the essence of the Heavenly Blade.

That was a strike purely wielded by mental power, a strike that interfered with reality through mental intervention.

However, the two dragon-shaped energy beams he was using at this moment, shooting out from his eyes, were not like that.

It's pure—force!

The essence of strength is the kinetic energy generated by internal body movements. Muscles, blood, bones, internal organs... many parts can generate strength.

But this absolutely does not include 'eyes'.

As the most vulnerable yet most important sensory organ in the human body, the act of 'moving energy through the eyes' is impossible both theoretically and practically.

But Xue Jing just did it.

He unleashed his power using only his eyes!

Even if there were a master-level expert who had broken through the limits of his abilities present, he would be shocked to see this scene and exclaim that Xue Jing was not human.

And this is one of the manifestations of how Zhenwu changed his body!

"...I bet there is absolutely no one in the world more suited to martial arts than me."

"Even the most elite super companies, who go to great lengths to create a 'superman,' would never be able to compare to me as I am now."

Feeling the changes within himself, he exclaimed in amazement.

Previously, when he possessed the [Fighting] skill, as his Fighting level increased, by the time he reached Lv10, he already possessed a 'Fighting talent' that surpassed human limits... or it could also be called 'Martial Arts Talent'.

But that talent is still based on the human race. No matter how great it is, its essence at its core still cannot transcend the human species.

And at this moment... his talent has truly reached a level that can be called 'extraordinary'.

All the structures were optimized to a point where they felt unreal.

Xue Jing clenched his fist, and from top to bottom, from the tips of his toes to the tips of his scalp, every part of his body began to circulate energy. Almost at the same time, hundreds of real dragons of different sizes burst forth.

Countless true dragons crisscrossed within his body, like traffic flowing endlessly on a complex road, yet always adhering to traffic rules, orderly and without the slightest disorder, firmly under his control.

The joyful roar of the dragon could be heard continuously.

With a thought, Xue Jing sent all the true dragons into action, like an army that obeyed orders. They began to divide their tasks and enter every part of the body, including the skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and blood.

The five killing moves of the Hidden Dragon Style were activated simultaneously, merging into one, transforming into a terrifyingly pure penetrating force, gathering in his right arm, held back but not released.

The ultimate technique: the finishing touch.

This move, which Li Qi described as a terrifying technique that would at best result in near-death or severe injury if Xue Jing were to use, was easily withstood by his body at this moment, and he felt almost no burden when using it.

This is not because his physical fitness has improved by much.

In fact, if we only consider the strength, his physical enhancement is not much, at most it has increased from 1 to 1.1 or 1.2.

In terms of basic strength, he has only gone from being able to lift an object weighing 10 tons to being able to lift about 11 tons.

However, the combat power he can actually unleash is at least two or three times that of before.

This is just the beginning.

[Zhenwu] completely transformed his physical structure, making him extraordinary. His adaptability to and control over force, as well as his application of martial arts techniques, were all raised to an unbelievable level.

He is currently unable to fully realize his true potential.
