Upon entering, he went straight to the 'gym', sat cross-legged in the center of the room, and opened the control panel.
【Twins Lv1 (Divinity required for upgrade: 502/100)】
[Passive: Possesses two lives; after death, can freely choose a resurrection time within seven days. Cooldown: three months]
[Active: Not unlocked (Unlock condition: Divinity 502/500, currently unlockable)]
[Divine Avatar: Not yet unlocked (Unlock requirements: Divinity 502/2000, Level 10)]
Xue Jing took a deep breath and clicked to unlock the active effect.
[Unlocked]
[Active: Each level 1 allows you to designate one ability related to your own physical body, which will have double the effect when used]
[Currently selectable attributes: Physical Strength, Physical Defense, Movement Speed, Reaction Speed, Calculation Ability, Concentration, Memory...]
There were dozens or even hundreds of variations that followed, but Xue Jing didn't look at them carefully.
"Specify an ability... to produce double the effect?"
Xue Jing pinched his chin and said.
"So, if I choose 'physical strength,' then I can have double the power when using [Twin]?"
A little subtle.
This ability... seems pretty powerful, but it also seems... not worthy of the extraordinary passive effect of Twins.
Is there something he hasn't noticed yet?
Xue Jing fell into deep thought.
"What should I choose for the first ability?"

Chapter 36 Divine Skills Beyond Physics
Physical strength, speed of movement, and physical defense.
Xue Jing's gaze shifted back and forth between the three items.
Without a doubt, these three options are the three choices that will give him the greatest boost to his combat power at this stage.
Other attributes like reaction speed, perception, and instinct are also good, but currently, their effects are not as direct as speed, strength, and defense.
After thinking for a while, Xue Jing first ruled out [physical defense].
With his twin passive resurrection effect, he doesn't really need this kind of survival ability at the moment. Furthermore, as the Stone Throwing Immortal, he certainly won't get close to enemies he can't defeat, so [physical defense] is dispensable.
The remaining question is whether it's strength or speed...
After thinking it over, Xue Jing chose [Speed of Action].
Now, with all his skills, his physical strength is not weak. Combined with his internal energy, he can easily deal with human-level physical strength.
Senior Sister Takeyama Ei, whom the cat described as "much stronger than him," was also knocked unconscious on the spot by his over-the-shoulder throw. Although it was because the opponent did not use force to defend, it could still be seen that martial artists are a bit like glass cannons, with high attack but low defense.
Speed is different; it's an attribute that's always scarce and you can never have too much speed.
In the world of martial arts, there is no stubbornness that cannot be broken, only fastness cannot be broken!
Xue Jing clicked on [Action Speed].
In an instant, as instinctively as breathing, he understood how to use the active effect of [Twins].
"Twins, activate!"
The next moment, Xue Jing's movements suddenly doubled, as if a video had been sped up.
He stood up, walked to the standing sandbag, channeled his energy, and punched it away. The whole process was incredibly fast.
"Huh? This feeling..." Xue Jing paused, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.
He then tested it again, straightening the standing sandbag and throwing another punch, which was incredibly fast, as if he had been given an accelerator.
The standing sandbag flew out again and hit the wall.
"So that's how it is... Is that really how it is..." he murmured.
"Let's do one last test..."
Xue Jing stepped out of her home, out of the residential area, and onto the small garden track where she usually jogs in the morning.
It was already eight or nine in the morning, and it was Monday. Most people were at work or school, so there were very few people in the garden, except for a few elderly people taking a walk or practicing tai chi.
Xue Jing took out his phone, turned on the timer function, and after confirming that no one around him was looking at him, he pressed the start button on his phone!
In an instant, he shot forward like a cannonball, streaking across the track like a meteor at a speed that is impossible for humans to achieve.
In a few seconds, he ran half a lap, then stopped and pressed the stop timer button on his phone.
[5.2 seconds]
"This track is 200 meters long, and half a lap is 100 meters... It only took 5.12 seconds."
"So that's how it is. Is this the true nature of the [Twin] active effect?"
Xue Jing's eyes revealed surprise.
"Ignoring all physical laws, it directly doubles one's movement speed..."
"Simply, conceptually, it doubled my speed!"
Xue Jing was overjoyed.
It's important to understand that physical exercise has diminishing marginal returns.
It's relatively easy for someone to improve their running speed from 20 seconds to 12 seconds in the 100 meters; all they need to do is stick to high-intensity training for a period of time.
However, after 12 seconds, due to factors such as air resistance and physical limits, the effort required to improve by 0.1 seconds is hundreds or thousands of times greater than before.
Once you get to the 10-second range, it becomes even more incredible. Every 0.01-second improvement is an amazing leap forward, impossible without sufficient talent and resources.
But now, the twins completely ignored this point, making his speed twice as fast as it used to be!
From 10.24 seconds, it went straight to 5.12 seconds!
Imagine he's engaged in a thrilling hand-to-hand combat where he can't afford the slightest mistake, and suddenly he activates [Twin], doubling his attack speed. What does that even mean?
This sudden acceleration defied all logic and intuition; no one could have predicted it, and it was almost a guaranteed hit.
This is twins, a divine skill that transcends physics!
"Unfortunately, it's really just that the speed has doubled... the attack power is still calculated according to the original physical properties."
Speed is weight; a faster punch speed is almost equivalent to a higher attack speed.
However, the Twins only doubled his speed, which meant that even if he could throw a supersonic punch after his speed was doubled, the kinetic energy released would still be the kinetic energy at the original speed, not the kinetic energy of a supersonic punch.
Even so, he still felt that the [Twin Speed] could be described as invincible.
"So, does that mean the twins' physical strength and physical defense are also doubled, ignoring the laws of physics?"
Upon thinking about this, Xue Jing suddenly became restless.
I need to quickly acquire seventeen or eighteen divine relics to absorb.
"I'm so incredibly horny!"
He picked up his phone and glanced at Wu Youqing in his contacts.
This is his only way to access divine relics, and he doesn't know when he'll get any work.
With a sigh, Xue Jing composed himself.
Just as I was about to continue testing the effect of Twin Speed, I suddenly realized... it seems to be unusable.
He opened the panel and glanced at it. The [Twin Lv1], which had been shining brightly and had a golden color, had become dull and lifeless.
"Huh? There's a cooldown period?"
Xue Jing's lips twitched.
He carefully examined the word "Twins" on the panel, and the golden light on the words was gradually returning.
"I just ran for a little over 5 seconds, plus what I used at home just now..."
Xue Jing did a quick calculation and it seemed that it took about 20 seconds of Twin Speed to put it into cooldown.
In that case... we'll have to be more careful with how we use this move.
I don't know how long the cooldown is, or whether the upgrade will increase the usage time.
"Ah Ban, is this your limit?"
Xue Jing was somewhat disappointed in his son.
……
When he got home, the cat had already woken up and was curled up on the sofa in the living room, watching cartoons on TV while licking its messy fur.
Upon seeing Xue Jing return, it yawned, revealing several sharp teeth.
"Didn't you go to school? Why are you back so soon?"
Xue Jing smiled and said:
"I missed the Master so much that I couldn't help but ask for leave to come back."
This was originally a joke he made in a great mood after activating his twins.
To Xue Jing's surprise, the cat paused for a moment after hearing this, then turned its face away, its back to him.
"That's it..."
The young girl's voice seemed to carry a hint of shyness, and her cat tail, unable to hide her feelings, swayed gently.
Xue Jing: "..."
If he were to open his mouth now and say that I was joking, would he be scratched to death on the spot?
