I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"Hmm? Is it someone you know?" Ning Yuantai, who was also watching the commotion, asked curiously upon hearing Xue Jing's words.

He paused for a moment, then realized something.

"Huh? This strong woman is a woman?"

Xue Jing nodded: "He's my friend, he's also here to participate in the U19 competition, I didn't expect to run into him like this."

No sooner had he finished speaking than several more figures rushed out of the hole that had been blown open on the hotel floor.

Xue Jing looked up.

It's someone he knows again!

Previously, when he went to Maple City to participate in the U19 knockout tournament, he encountered two borderland hunters who claimed to be from the "Giant God Brigade" on the cruise ship "Infinite Nova".

Their goal was to capture a marine creature called the Queen Sea Bee, but for various reasons, they clashed with Xue Jing and were killed by him.

Later, when Ning Fengwan examined the bodies, she found small spheres in the thalamus of the two people that appeared to be used for 'consciousness uploading', suggesting that the two people were likely still alive.

At that moment, among the people who rushed out of the hotel, one of the women was the same woman who had ill intentions towards him on the Infinite Nova.

Xue Jing and the cat on his shoulder exchanged a glance, both with strange expressions.

What a coincidence.

"Since he's your friend... how about it, will you help me out?"

Ning Yuantai bumped his fists together a few times and said excitedly.

Of course, he would help, but before he did, Xue Jing asked curiously:

"Is it okay to have a street fight in the inner ring road area?"

Ning Yuantai said, "It's not allowed in the law... But in reality, apart from the three areas with strict law enforcement, A1 to A3, in other areas, as long as the damage is not large, the security personnel are usually slow to arrive until the fight is over."

"Unless one of the people involved has paid a high amount of security fees to the security company, then it will come very quickly."

"If we act quickly, we can get out of here as soon as we've finished, and then we should be fine."

Xue Jing nodded: "I see."

"Then... let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from his spot with a 'boom,' leaving a trail of colorful flames as he shot towards Yin Muhu like a meteor.

"Hey? Wait for me!"

Ning Yuantai hurriedly followed, but his speed was far inferior to Xue Jing's, and he was left far behind.

……

Yin Muhu cautiously looked at the people in front of him. His handsome face was covered with some wounds, and thick blood slowly oozed from the wounds and flowed down.

Although she hadn't known them for long, she had already come to a complete understanding that these people in front of her were all desperate criminals.

Their fighting style is devoid of any martial ethics or any regard for holding back; they aim to kill their opponents with every move.

When confronted with her full-force counterattack, he showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, his expression grew even more excited, like a child who had found an interesting toy.

Yin Muhu sighed inwardly at the thought of encountering such a thing so soon after arriving in the inner ring.

I should have agreed to let the driver accompany me instead of coming to the inner ring road alone. I didn't expect it to be so chaotic here. I encountered this kind of thing as soon as I checked into the hotel.

Hmm? It seems to be similar on the outer ring road. Last time in Fengcheng, something happened while I was staying at a hotel.

Could it be that it's not a matter of the outer and inner ring roads, but rather that she herself is prone to getting into trouble? Or perhaps she's just incompatible with the hotel's atmosphere?

The yin-yang tiger's eyes revealed deep thought.

"What a disappointment, I didn't expect it to be a woman."

A woman across from him, with silver-gold highlights in her hair and a pretty face but covered in eyebrow and lip piercings, spoke with a disappointed look.

"Idiot, what do you know? It's the women who are better; the contrast is irresistible..."

A gloomy man standing next to him, whose mouth was split open to his ears and whose teeth were fully exposed, chuckled.

"Anything is fine, can you please resolve this quickly?"

Another woman, whose skin was abnormally pale, spoke with an expression of boredom and indifference.

"Qiao Ying, what's wrong with you? You used to be quite the expert, how come you became a Buddha after dying once? You wouldn't go to 'Deer' last night when I invited you, could it be that DeepBlue Network secretly tampered with your consciousness?"

The woman with gold and silver highlights looked at Qiao Ying with a puzzled expression.

Qiao Ying sighed and said listlessly, "You don't understand, once you've seen the ocean, you can't be satisfied with a river."

"Having seen truly top-quality cuisine, everything else looks like spoiled food..."

With interest, Gold and Silver Ink said, "I'm really curious, what kind of person could turn you into this... as if life has no meaning if you don't have sex with him."

Qiao Ying said impatiently, "Life has no inherent meaning, so can you guys hurry up? My body was only recently created, and I don't have any fighting power at all..."

"If we don't hurry, the boss will start pressuring us..."

The moment the word "boss" was mentioned, the expressions of the people present became more serious.

"Alright, I'll take command. Let's finish this quickly, using Tactic B..."

The man with the gloomy grin spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something and turned to look up at the sky.

A colorful shooting star streaked across the sky.

As Yin Muhu listened to their words, she became even more vigilant. Just as she was about to strike first and gain the upper hand, colorful flames flickered in front of her, accompanied by a deep rumble, and a familiar figure appeared before her.

She was startled and blurted out, "Brother Xue!?"

Xue Jing turned his head, glanced back at her, and smiled, "Yin-mei, it's been a long time. How are you doing?"

For some reason, upon seeing Xue Jing, Yin Muhu suddenly relaxed, a sense of confidence rising within him. A smile appeared on his rugged face, and he spoke in a strikingly contrasting, childlike voice:

"That's great. Thanks to you, I practiced diligently for a while after I got back, and my martial arts have improved a lot..."

"Okay, that's good." Xue Jing nodded, then looked at the people in front of him.

"So, what happened?"

Yin Muhu said, "I went out of my hotel room to go eat, but I ran into these people on the way. They suddenly came up to me and invited me to go out and have fun. I said I wasn't interested, but they tried to force me to go, and then a fight broke out..."

Xue Jing couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Yin Mei, it seems your charm is much greater than I imagined. How come you can run into these kinds of things everywhere you go?"

Yin Muhu said speechlessly, "I don't understand either."

The two were reminiscing on one side, while on the other, Qiao Ying stared at the face she had longed for day and night, frozen in place, her eyes misting over with tears.

The blonde woman next to Xue Jing also looked at him and exclaimed in surprise, "...What a magnificent face! No wonder you were so captivated by him. Now I understand why."

"Qiao Ying? Are you alright?"

She looked at Qiao Ying, whose face was gradually turning red and who was starting to breathe heavily, and said with a strange feeling.

“…Brother, younger brother.”

Qiao Ying looked at Xue Jing and spoke dreamily.

Xue Jing seemed to have just noticed her, and said with a smile, "Oh? It's been a long time."

He paused slightly, his tone suddenly softening as he said, "An older sister whose name I don't know."

He deliberately spoke the words "elder sister" slowly and deliberately, while a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Mmm~ Mmm—!!"

Qiao Ying suddenly trembled all over, squatted down weakly, and gasped for breath as if she were lacking oxygen.

Jin Yinting hesitated and said, "Qiao Ying, you..."

She looked at Qiao Ying and clearly saw her pants... The water stains were gradually spreading, and then began to seep out continuously, dripping all over the ground.

"Holy crap, you don't mean it? You've already done *that*?"

Everyone present stared at her with expressions of utter disbelief.

The cat rubbed its paws against Xue Jing's shoulder, seemingly quite displeased.

Xue Jing hadn't expected his words to have such a powerful impact; he had only intended to casually gain some experience points in acting.

Sensing the strange scent beginning to spread in the air, he coughed lightly, looked at the others, and said:

"You're all from the Giant God Brigade?"

The grinning, gloomy man looked at Xue Jing with a wary expression and said, "...That's right."

He strongly suspected that the man in front of him possessed some kind of ability to influence the minds of others, and he had to be on guard.

Xue Jing ignored his wariness and casually asked, "What about that Wei Chu?"

The grinning, gloomy man chuckled, "Why should I tell you..."

"He's still undergoing transformation. This time, he went all out and spent a lot of money to equip his new body with high-end gear, but his 'mental energy level' can't keep up, and his mutation rate is a bit too high. He can't even move right now, it's hilarious," the woman with gold and silver highlights said with a bright smile.

Xue Jing nodded: "I see."

The grinning, gloomy man stared expressionlessly at the gold and silver highlights: "...Heh, woman."

“Ha, men.” Gold and silver highlights glared back at him.

Xue Jing looked around at the passersby who had gathered to watch since there was no fighting, thought for a moment, and then spoke:

"Alright, you've harassed my friend, now you need to give her an explanation."

The grinning, sinister-looking man narrowed his eyes and pulled a strangely shaped dagger from his pocket: "Oh? What explanation do you want?"

Xue Jing ignored his actions and turned to look at Yin Muhu:

"Since they didn't succeed, let's just beat them all up. Yin Mei, what do you think?"

Yin Muhu nodded: "It's all up to Brother Xue to decide."

The grinning, gloomy man laughed in anger and said, "You arrogant brat, I've read Wei Chu and Qiao Ying's mission report. Your physical energy level is only around level 4, and your danger level assessment is no more than 4.5. Our Giant God Brigade has hunted thousands upon thousands of people of your level."

"You really think you're invincible just because you defeated Wei Chu and Qiao Ying, who had removed most of their equipment in the outer ring? Looks like I need to show you that there are many things in this world that are beyond your imagination..."

Before he could finish speaking, the grinning man suddenly felt dizzy, saw colorful flames flashing before his eyes, and heard crackling sounds in his ears.
