I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"Is it because I'm getting close to my senior sister? Does the Zhu family think that my senior sister wants to date me?"

"A classic story of a wealthy heiress and a poor boy being forcibly separated?"

"...But I really don't have any feelings for Senior Sister Zhu."

Damn it, if that's really the case, wouldn't that be an undeserved disaster?

But whatever the reason, he remembered this grudge.

"You are from the Zhu clan, aren't you? You have already chosen your own path to death."

However, revenge is temporarily put on hold; the most urgent task is to obtain those divine relics.

Xue Jing stood up and walked towards his home.

After arriving home, Xue Jing first went to her room to retrieve her student ID, and then looked at the [GOD-1291·The Little Girl's Match] on her desk.

After thinking for a moment, he took the matchbox with him and put it in his pocket. Then he walked out of his house, came to the entrance of the community, lifted his foot and pushed off the ground, instantly leaping dozens of meters into the air, and lightly jumped onto the rooftop of a tall building.

"Ok?"

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow.

He sensed a change from that very first move.

...unexpectedly light.

Previously, although he was already extremely strong, he could clearly feel the 'weight' when he moved.

Just like an ordinary person holding a five or six-gram ring, they can feel the weight of the ring.

But now, after running up to Lv10, when he used his strength to leap onto the tall building, he felt his body was light as a feather.

Xue Jing flashed and sped towards Qingcheng Affiliated High School, leaping between the rooftops of various buildings along the way.

His body instinctively and automatically adjusts its posture and movements to enable him to unleash greater speeds and reduce air resistance limitations.

Without realizing it, the speed increased faster and faster.

On a utility pole somewhere, several swallows were perched, whispering to each other as they flew about.

They chirped and jumped around.

suddenly.

"call out--!!"

A dark shadow swept past them at an extremely fast speed. These highly sensitive birds didn't even have time to notice anything before they were swept away more than ten meters away by the strong air current created by the shadow's passage.

"Ha!"

One unlucky one even crashed into an iron railing and fainted on the spot.

Xue Jing had no idea that he had just caused a car accident.

He ran faster and faster, becoming more and more agile, as if he had transformed into the child of the wind, even experiencing a sense of freedom and exhilaration similar to flying with dragon horns.

"...At this speed, the speed per second should be close to 70 meters, which is about 250 kilometers per hour."

Xue Jing made a visual assessment.

When he first came out of the border area, his full-speed running speed was about 190 to 200 kilometers per hour.

Running speed, however, has a very high diminishing marginal utility; it becomes increasingly difficult to improve as time goes on.

The speed increase from 200 km/h to 250 km/h may seem like only a one-fifth increase on the surface, but in reality it is several times, or even more than ten times, the increase!

"This is a combination of all the improvements that have been made during this period, including the improvements from daily martial arts training, the effects of the True Martial Body, and the fact that running speed has been improved to Lv10... All of these factors combined have resulted in such tremendous progress."

For Xue Jing, the improvement in basic running speed is not just about increasing the speed by 50 kilometers per hour.

He possesses the Twin Speed ​​skill, which allows him to double his speed by ignoring physics, and the deadly move 'Flame Rainbow' that can unleash incredible speed in an instant...

In his hands, those 50 kilometers actually increased the top speed by at least 200 kilometers per hour!

If he were to unleash Twin Speed ​​and Flame Chain at the same time, his short-range burst speed would be comparable to that of an airplane!

"Cool!"

……

About ten minutes later, Xue Jing arrived at Qingfu Middle School.

It was school dismissal time, and the initial wave of students leaving had passed, but students were still gradually walking out of the school gate.

Xue Jing transformed into a blur and entered the school through the gate without almost anyone noticing. Several female students screamed and covered their skirts, their faces flushed, as the strong airflow he created lifted their skirts.

He entered the Qingda campus, arrived at the library, and then slowed down and stopped.

After straightening his clothes, Xue Jing entered the library and swiped his card all the way to the seventh floor.

In the old, quiet attic, a familiar figure still sits quietly on the wooden chair in the rest area.

Her long, silky black ponytail, reaching her waist, swayed gently. The elegant and refined young woman closed the old, hardcover book titled "The Day of Divine Remembrance" in her hand, her tranquil gaze fixed on Xue Jing, her pale purple pupils as clear and beautiful as jewels.

"Young Haru A-Meng, only you can help me..."

Xue Jing spoke in the same tone as if Nobita had been bullied by Gian.

Wu Youqing blinked, sighed, put the book she was holding on the table, and said helplessly:

"Why are you acting like a little kid... Speak up, what is it?"

Whether it was his imagination or not, Xue Jing inexplicably detected a hint of doting in her tone.

After clearing his throat, Xue Jing walked up to her, moved a wooden chair aside, sat down, and recounted how Zhu Xuanli had withheld his divine relic reward.

"I see." Wu Youqing nodded after listening, her eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

After a while, she spoke:

"...This is easy to solve. I'll just mention it to them."

Hearing his boss say those words so casually, Xue Jing perked up and said sincerely:

"As expected of you, dear sister, you are my Youqing A-Dream... no, Youqing Buddha!"

You want to compare your background with mine? I'll just go to the Western Paradise and ask for the help of the Buddha Youqing!

Wu Youqing smiled and tapped his forehead with her finger: "Stop being silly."

She paused, then continued, "The matter itself is easy to resolve, but the key issue lies in the Zhu family's hostility towards you."

"If we don't resolve the Zhu family's hostility, similar incidents will continue to occur, and even I probably won't be able to help you every time."

Xue Jing flattered, "Aren't you being too modest, Your Majesty the Buddha?"

With the four thousand divine powers that he had so easily regained, coupled with the fact that Youqing Buddha had been so reliable in the past, Xue Jing had begun to have the illusion that this woman was truly omnipotent.

"I'm not being modest, the Thirteen Great Chambers are just that troublesome."

As Wu Youqing spoke, she stood up, took out a tea set from the hidden cabinet, and placed it on the table.

She seems to really enjoy making tea.

As she poured water into the teapot, Wu Youqing said:

“They are the ‘victors of the new era,’ the thirteen families that have reaped the most benefits of victory in the nearly three hundred years since God’s death.”

“They are already a part of this country… even a significant part of it.”

"The Zhu family's hostility towards you is almost equivalent to the country itself being hostile towards you."

Xue Jing stroked his chin: "Oh? Then I'm doomed?"

Wu Youqing pushed the teacup, which had been filled with tea, towards him:

"With me here, they won't use force against you directly. You won't die... I guess."

"That's probably why they only use this kind of mild and ineffective way to annoy you."

Wu Youqing picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and looked at Xue Jing:

"But on the other hand, the Zhu family knows you are one of my people, yet they still show hostility towards you. This means that you must have touched their fundamental interests."

"This time, the reason your divine artifact reward is being blocked is a warning."

Xue Jing narrowed his eyes.

Wu Youqing smiled and said, "Isn't it annoying? This kind of top-down arrogance that takes things for granted."

"They don't explain things to you directly. They just want to give you a hard time first, so you can figure out why you were hit and then come to them to beg them to resolve the issue."

"This is the mindset of mediocre people who are born into a position of power but lack the virtue to match it."

Xue Jing was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"...I will figure out why, and I will take the initiative to go there to resolve the matter."

he said softly.

As for what issues need to be resolved when he comes to us... when that day comes, it will be up to him to decide.

Having made up his mind, Xue Jing stopped mentioning anything related to the Zhu family. Instead, he reached into his pocket, took out an ordinary matchbox, and handed it to Wu Youqing.

"Dear sister, I received this by chance."

Wu Youqing reached out and took it, recognizing it at a glance.

“GOD-1291…”

As she spoke, Wu Youqing opened the matchbox.

Inside was filled with dozens of matches, each one the same length and size, and the burning material wrapped around its head had a strange red and blue color.

"It is said that if you light it, you will see the most beautiful 'little girl' in your mind." Wu Youqing blinked curiously.

Then, to Xue Jing's surprise, Wu Youqing took a match out of the box, placed it on the side of the box, and flicked it.

"Ah-"

GOD-1291 was ignited.
