I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"The Dragon Cherry Seed can now extend out of thin air to attack, without needing to be taken out anymore... This has significantly improved the flexibility and stealth of our attacks."

Xue Jing blinked.

"It's just that the visuals... are a bit off-putting."

As the roots controlling the dragon cherry seed retracted into the 'void', Xue Jing stretched, feeling quite pleased with himself.

"Next, I'll find some time to visit Xu's Biotechnology again. With the 'Beast of No Return,' what can't I steal?"

Opening the door, Xue Jing walked down the stairs to the living room on the first floor, where he saw the cat lying lazily on the maid's lap, watching cartoons.

He thought for a moment and then smiled:

"Teacher Wan, please help me test out my new ability."

The cat's fluffy tail swayed leisurely, and upon hearing this, it glanced at Xue Jing, lazily pouting and saying, "How come you have a new ability again?"

She had gotten used to Xue Jing coming up with new ideas every now and then.

How do I try it?

Xue Jing smiled but didn't reply. Instead, he stepped closer to the cat, bringing her within range of the non-existent beast's ability to devour her, and a thought crossed his mind.

Without a sound, as if swallowed by an unseen void monster, the cat disappeared.

"Eh? Lord Cult Leader?"

The young maid, Yunqin, was filled with doubt and a little panicked.

Xue Jing didn't explain, but instead looked up at the sky.

One second later.

With a strange "whoosh," the cat appeared in the air about four meters above the ground in Xue Jing's line of sight, its fur bristling and its two front paws extended into snake-slaying spears, frantically scratching.

Realizing she had escaped and was falling from the sky, she glared at Xue Jing, then nimbly turned around in mid-air, where Xue Jing caught her with a smile.

"Don't launch this kind of surprise attack! What kind of ability is this?!"

The cat's face showed anthropomorphic dissatisfaction as it spoke angrily.

Xue Jing quickly reached out and stroked the bristling fur on her back, comforting her, "Sorry, sorry, I just wanted to test how long it would take you to escape in an emergency when you instinctively struggle..."

We've pretty much figured out the effect of the non-existent beast devouring people.

It can't hold the swallowed creature for long while it struggles fiercely... but it's good enough for now.

The mere fact that the opponent was momentarily stunned after swallowing it was enough for him to do a lot of things.

Not to mention, it can also determine where the other party will appear after struggling and spitting it out.

Forced teleportation...that's outrageous.

Isn't this invincible?

Xue Jing used his super-soothing technique, which he had long since mastered, to soothe the cat, quickly making her feel so good that all her dissatisfaction disappeared.

"This is my new ability, the Beast of No Return..."

Xue Jing softly described the characteristics of the non-existent beast.

In the future, there will likely be situations where he has to fight alongside the cat, or there may be situations where he is unable to protect the cat when they encounter a powerful enemy. He must explain the abilities of the Beast of No Existence to her in advance.

To avoid the situation where the beast that was meant to devour her was used to protect her, but instead caused a misunderstanding.

"...Your abilities are getting more and more outrageous. Where did this protagonist from a wish-fulfillment novel come from?"

After hearing this, the cat covered its forehead with its paw and said helplessly.

Xue Jing looked away and casually chuckled:

"The chosen ones, that's how they should all be."

……

Around noon, Xue Jing sat on the sofa, watching the live stream in front of him.

This is another live draw for the U19 teams, drawing their opponents in the semifinals.

As the middle-aged man on stage, who appeared to be a master who had broken through limits, opened the lottery ball in his hand, revealing the words 'Xue Jing' written on the slip of paper, Xue Jing nodded.

"As expected."

The first match of the semi-finals:

Song Nanxing VS Otogi Suzuka.

Second match of the semi-finals:

Xue Jing VS Zhou Yinglin.

"This idiot hasn't given up yet... He's probably rigged the lottery results again."

Xue Jing said softly.

"Fine, since you still dare to face me, then this time I will completely crush you."

"Whether physical or mental."

Xue Jing pressed the bracelet to turn off the holographic live stream, then looked towards the villa's gate, his ears twitching slightly.

With his increasingly acute hearing, he could already hear footsteps approaching from afar.

He even discerned from the weight of the footsteps and the distance between them that the newcomer was Ning Yuantai.

"His footsteps became unsteady; he seemed a little anxious..."

Xue Jing thought to himself.

……

(Is this sphere's cubic meter calculation correct? I'm a little unsure... a sphere with a radius of six meters, 904.32 cubic meters?)

"Brother Xue, something's happened!"

The maid Yunqin opened the door, and Ning Yuantai came in, calling out anxiously.

Xue Jing sat on the sofa in the living room, glanced at Ning Yuantai, his expression unchanged, and simply smiled, saying softly:

"Calm down, Yuan Tai, have you eaten?"

Seemingly influenced by Xue Jing's usual attitude, Ning Yuantai's mood inexplicably calmed down a bit. He subconsciously shook his head and said, "Not yet..."

He raised his right hand and looked at the bracelet he was wearing, which showed the time as 12:03 noon.

It seems like another coincidence...

"No, I didn't come here to freeload!"

"Brother Xue, Lu Baidi is here. He's in Yuancheng and just got off the plane!"

Ning Yuantai reached out and took the damp towel handed to him by the maid, wiping his slightly sweaty forehead.

"Lu Baidi?" Xue Jing felt the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"'White Emperor' Lu Shenliu! He is the current holder of the title of 'Overlord', having won it for four consecutive years. If he wins it again this year, he will advance to the title of Eternal!"

Ning Yuantai said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Xue Jing raised an eyebrow.

He remembered that Yin Muhu had mentioned this person briefly when they were chatting before.

It is said that her grandmaster, Jin Gang Zhou, one of the three heroes of Yucheng, went to Meng Hu Palace to participate in the 'Battle of the Overlord' more than three months ago. However, it is unknown whether he did not participate or lost. In any case, the title of 'Overlord' still belongs to Lu Shen Liu.

"Is there a problem with his origin from the city?" Xue Jing asked, slightly puzzled.

Ning Yuantai nodded and said seriously, "There is a problem, and a big problem."

"This White Emperor's martial art, the 'White Emperor Blade,' is hailed as the 'most ferocious weapon under heaven' and is known as the 'sharpest weapon in the human world.'"

After a pause, Ning Yuantai continued:

"In this world, the schools and styles of martial arts practiced by all the top martial artists are closely related to their own temperament. The White Emperor Blade is unparalleled in sharpness and extremely ferocious. The temperament of the person who uses it is also like that. They speak with the blade in everything, and they will kill people if they disagree. They solve everything with a chop."

"...Lu Shenliu is one of the very few old martial arts masters who came from humble backgrounds but eventually rose to the top. He got to where he is today not because of anything else, but because of his 'daring to fight and kill'."

"As long as he can afford the reward he wants, he's willing to kill anyone and take on any job. He uses this to continuously collect precious martial arts resources that ordinary people can't get. He's miraculously gotten to where he is today by living on a tightrope that could break at any moment!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Jing exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing!"

Without Aban, despite his humble origins, he obtained a title symbolizing the pinnacle of martial arts, just one step away from obtaining an eternal title, looking down with arrogance.

The story of such a person must be quite fascinating; just standing there is a living legend.

"Now is not the time to admire how amazing others are, Brother Xue!"

Ning Yuantai scratched his head.

"...After Lu Baidi obtained the title of Overlord, he stayed deep in the Fierce Tiger Palace and rarely went out, but once he did go out, it meant there was 'business' to be had."

"Now that he holds a high position, his demands are becoming increasingly outrageous. Under normal circumstances, we only ask him to take action when we want to take action against someone who is theoretically not allowed to do so directly."

Xue Jing tapped the armrest of the sofa with his finger and asked:

"So, who is he planning to target this time, coming from Yuancheng?"

Ning Yuantai said seriously, "This is why I came here... I suspect that Lu Baidi's target is very likely you."

"Me?" Xue Jing asked thoughtfully.

"Those who are worth asking Lu Shenliu to take action are either the real high-level executives of the major super companies, people related to the Thirteen Giant Chambers, or people like us in the Sixth Agency who are paid by the government."

“There aren’t many people like that in Yuancheng right now. The probability of Xu Mude and Zhou Yinglin being like that is too low. The most likely person is you.”

Ning Yuantai analyzed very seriously.

"You have someone backing you, who is also a member of our Sixth Agency. Directly attacking you would anger two behemoths, so we need someone like Lu Shenliu, a tough nut to crack who doesn't hold back..."

"Besides, you humiliated Zhou Yinglin on the field just a few days ago. Maybe this kid is holding a grudge but can't beat you, so he called his parents to cheat!"

Ning Yuantai looked furious, as if he himself had been targeted by Lu Shenliu, his teeth clenched in anger.

“Zhou Yinglin…” Xue Jing read the name aloud and shook his head.
