I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

Chapter 222 A Fierce Battle, A Slight Victory, and an Invitation from the Mischievous Club (4K)

Xue Jing's powerful Thunder Flame Boiling Cauldron punch was blocked by Yu Jia Suzuka's palm strike, which then struck upwards and changed direction.

A pale golden dragon-shaped energy emanated from his fist, like a dragon emerging from the abyss, soaring into the sky and piercing a large hole in the ceiling. Its momentum continued unabated, stretching for hundreds of meters.

"boom--!!"

"What power!" Otogi Suzuka's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but praise in the Far Eastern language.

As he spoke, his hands moved just as quickly, his right hand shifting from a supporting palm to a thrusting palm, aiming for Xue Jing's abdomen.

"My Flow - Kaguya Branch—"

In the dim light, it seemed as if colorful gemstones were appearing on his palm, shimmering with light.

At the same time, Xue Jing reached out and grasped his hand. The instant he grasped it, he felt an almost unstoppable, immense penetrating force, as if he were not holding a human hand, but the horn of a charging rhinoceros.

However, if it were a real rhinoceros, he could have pinned it down with a single finger. Unfortunately, it wasn't. Xue Jing instantly realized that this attack was not easy to defend against.

So, they simply stopped blocking it.

He relaxed his feet, no longer gripping the ground, and used only his right hand to grip Otogisuka's hand, or to put it another way, he hooked himself onto Otogisuka's hand like a hook.

As a result, he was pushed backward by Otogisuka and crashed through a wall with a loud bang. Not stopping there, he continued to crash through several buildings until he was dozens of meters away, leaving the Wakamiya Dojo and arriving on the street.

Throughout this process, he held onto the Otogisuka sword with his bare hand, without changing his posture or allowing it to come any closer to his abdomen.

The commotion attracted the attention of countless passersby on the street.

"What happened? A fight?"

"Hmm? Isn't that Otogi Suzuka?"

Wakamiya Dojo is located in Zone A3, where the residents are all wealthy and influential, and are much more well-informed than the average person. They all basically know this third heir of the Otogi Zaibatsu.

"Who is this martial arts fanatic fighting with now...? Why is it so intense this time? Didn't it always end in an instant before?"

Everyone was very curious, but they also knew that they could not approach such a battle of gods without careful consideration, so they just watched from a distance.

But they soon realized that watching from a distance... was not safe either.

"Flame Linked Colors, Burning Wheel—"

"Suzaalu·Red dye——"

"boom--!!"

A ring of air currents exploded and spread out between Xue Jing and Yu Jia Suzuka. Centered on the two of them, everything within a radius of tens of meters was instantly blown away and swept away. Tables, chairs, trees, houses... everything was pulverized and turned into part of the air current, spreading more than a hundred meters away.

"Ahhh!"

Several passersby who were closer were hit by the blast wave and blown away, letting out terrified screams and looking bewildered.

The young man from the Far East named Taihei Wakamiya swiftly caught the passerby who was flying into the air and gently placed him on the ground.

He looked at the two boy monsters who had started fighting fiercely regardless of their surroundings and sighed with a bit of a headache.

"Young Master... if this continues, it could easily cause an international dispute."

"Bang bang bang bang-!!"

The explosions continued unabated as the two figures locked in a fierce battle, sometimes fighting in the sky, sometimes on the ground.

Every punch and kick was like a cannonball exploding, the air being forced apart by the powerful impact, turning into a brief spherical vacuum. Countless spherical vacuums appeared and were constantly filled, forming a violent airflow and gale, a terrifying force that could almost change the weather.

Although both of them consciously kept the battle within the vicinity of the Wakamiya Dojo, the damage caused was still incalculable. Anything that came within ten meters of them was either pulverized or destroyed, and even things more than a hundred meters away were still at risk of being affected.

Since he began practicing martial arts, Xue Jing has encountered enemies who have either been instantly killed or crushed by him. Few have been able to truly exchange a few blows with him, especially martial artists. Even a powerful but incomplete Grandmaster like Jiao Hongyuan, with the cooperation of Xue Jing and his senior brother, ended the battle in an instant.

Therefore, he never truly experienced the kind of evenly matched and exhilarating martial arts competition between martial artists.

Only now did he finally experience the joy of 'encountering a challenge'.

Making a move, responding to a move, countering a move... fast, very fast, unbelievably fast.

Xue Jing's pupils were focused to the extreme, and his limbs almost turned into afterimages. Every move and every stance was an exquisite and unparalleled strike, like a gazelle hanging its horns. For an ordinary martial artist, it would be impossible to withstand any of these blows.

However, Xue Jing and Yu Jia Suzuka were exchanging blows and kicks at a rate of dozens or even hundreds of times per second.

"Suho Shinryu... Although I knew this school was known for its speed, I didn't expect it to be this fast."

Xue Jing felt that his speed had reached its limit, but most of the time he was on the defensive, blocking. Of the dozens or hundreds of movements per second, only about a quarter were offensive.

If it weren't for his Lv10 level aiming ability granting him exceptional dynamic vision, he wouldn't have been able to keep up with such a terrifyingly fast-paced combat.

Although they are now keeping up, they are at a disadvantage.

Of course, speed is only one part of combat power. Xue Jing was just trying to defeat Otogi Suzuka in her area of ​​expertise so that she would be 'convinced' of her defeat.

Since we can't find a breakthrough in this area, let's try a different approach.

Xue Jing suddenly froze, as if he couldn't keep up with the high-intensity rhythm of the battle, and finally broke down, revealing a weakness.

Without hesitation, Otogi Suzuka saw an opening and struck Xue Jing in the chest with her palm.

"puff--"

The airflow was blasted into a vacuum by the blow, demonstrating its immense power, but after it struck Xue Jing's chest, it produced a muffled thud that was not particularly loud.

In the next instant, Xue Jing's bones trembled, emitting a rumbling thunderous sound as he absorbed and transformed all the kinetic energy imprinted on his body.

Hidden Dragon Flow - Sealed Cloud Tail.

Instead of throwing a counterattack punch, Xue Jing channeled his energy, harnessing the kinetic energy within his body, and with the absolute control of [True Martial], forcibly unleashed the Whirlwind Thunder and Shaking Star Fire. At the same time, colorful flames ignited all over his body.

He reached out his left hand, grasped Otogisuka's wrist, and held it in front of him. He raised his right hand horizontally, with the back of his elbow aimed at Otogisuka's neck.

"Flame-Splashed Rainbow - Thunderous Plow Blade!"

This was a strike powerful enough to kill an incomplete master like Jiao Hongyuan. Although it was not accompanied by Shadow Flame and Dragon Lightning at this moment, it was still Xue Jing's strongest combination skill at this stage.

Otogi Suzuka's wrist was gripped by Xue Jing, and he couldn't break free for a moment. He realized that he had to take this terrifying killing move head-on.

He remained calm and raised his other hand to block the Thunder Plow Blade, which was carrying streams of colorful flames.

"My Flowing Immortal Smoke—"

"call out--"

The unparalleled strike flashed through the air.

Unexpectedly, Xue Jing did not feel any real impact on the material.

There wasn't even that feeling of being deflected and hit like cotton; there was only emptiness and nothingness, like hitting a cloud of mist.

He was slightly taken aback, only to find that Otogi Suzuka had somehow broken free of his grip and appeared not far away.

At this moment, Otogi Suzuka did not appear to be in good condition. The left sleeve of his haori was torn, revealing his fair arm.

There was a deep, bone-revealing wound on his arm, running from his palm to his elbow, from which gushed clear, viscous blood.

"Xue Jun, you have truly surprised and delighted me."

Otogi Suzuka looked at Xue Jing with tender eyes, as if she were looking at a lover, her cheeks flushed with excitement, exuding a charm far surpassing that of any woman.

He gently stroked the wound on his left hand with his right hand, smeared his fingers with blood, and brought them to his lips, applying a blood-red lip gloss. His already extremely handsome face appeared even more alluring.

Xue Jing's expression was strange.

This guy... not only does he look effeminate, but his behavior is also so effeminate.

"I wish we could fight like this forever... but unfortunately, let's stop here for today."

As if sensing something, Otogi Suzuka suddenly sighed regretfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless piercing sirens blared from all directions. Dozens of police cars and aircraft surrounded Xue Jing and Otogisuka's location in the sky and on the ground.

"Don't move, hands up!"

After all the vehicles and aircraft came to a stop, dozens or even hundreds of sheriffs and security personnel dressed in bomb suits got out and aimed various firearms at the two people present.

With nearly a hundred guns pointed at him, in a situation that seemed like an inescapable trap, Xue Jing remained unfazed, only thinking to himself:

"The speed of law enforcement in Zone A3 is indeed quite fast... No wonder it's a wealthy area."

At that moment, a security guard who appeared to be the commander recognized Otogisuka, looked startled, and immediately waved his hand:

"Everyone, put down your guns!"

Everyone obeyed the orders, and the commander put away his pistol, jogged over to Otogisuka, and whispered in confusion:

"Mr. Otogi, what brings you here?"

Otogi Suzuka was quite displeased that her battle with Xue Jing had been interrupted, and gave the commander a cold look.

However, he understood that there was nothing he could do about it, and simply said softly:

"I apologize. I got carried away and forced this friend to spar with me. My movements were a bit rough... I will compensate for all the losses caused today."

While Otogi Suzuka dealt with the law enforcement officers, Xue Jing looked at the cat that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and jumped onto his shoulder.

"You two monsters have caused far too much of a commotion."

The cat looked around and clicked its tongue in amazement.

Centered on the Wakamiya Dojo, within a radius of 100 meters, the area was riddled with potholes, broken buildings, broken trees, and the ground looked as if it had been plowed twice, a truly rotten mess.

Those who knew the situation would think it was two people fighting, but those who didn't would think it was two modern armies engaged in street fighting.

"There's nothing I can do. This person isn't the kind of opponent I can control the overall situation with, and I can't control the scope of the impact."

Xue Jing replied casually while glancing at the panel.

[You gained a slight advantage in a closely fought and exciting battle; True Martial Experience Points +2672]

[...Aiming experience points +2346]

[…Visualization - True Experience Points +1688]

【…】

This rare and exhilarating battle, though short in duration and interrupted midway, still yielded a significant amount of experience points.

After closing the panel, Xue Jing looked at Otogisuka, who had finished dealing with the law enforcement officers and was walking towards him.
