I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"Let's wait and see for now, keep it in reserve. In case any skill suddenly becomes more powerful, our current level is more than enough for cultivation. If we really need it, leveling up will be a piece of cake."

he thought to himself.

Since they were on a plane, it wasn't convenient to test the effects of the two skill upgrades. So Xue Jing lay down on the bed, took out his phone, chatted with Xue Wan and a few classmates who had sent him messages, and then began practicing Nirvana Technique before falling into a deep sleep.

……

“￥&￥#$*&%——”

A faint commotion could be heard outside the door. In the dimly lit room, Xue Jing, whose body radiated layers of golden light, slowly opened his eyes. The compassionate look in his dark blue eyes, which were tinged with red, gradually faded.

His body's precise biological clock told him that the time was 2:36:52 AM.

Xue Jing sat up, got out of bed, and without changing out of his white bathrobe, opened the door and went out.

At this point in time, most people on the plane were asleep, and the corridor was very quiet. Xue Jing followed the noise he heard and made his way to the cockpit.

Upon opening the door, one could see Ning Yuantai standing next to the pilot's seat, staring at the screen and talking to the captain.

"What happened."

Xue Jing spoke as he walked over.

Ning Yuantai turned around and exclaimed, "Brother Xue!"

"Mr. Xue!"

"Lord Jing!"

The other passengers in the cabin also greeted him respectfully.

"Brother Xue, you've come at the perfect time!"

Ning Yuantai quickly replied.

He pointed to the porthole ahead, gesturing for Xue Jing to look.

Xue Jing looked up and immediately saw—

Dragon.

Thousands upon thousands, filling the sky, an endless array of dragons.

Despite their different shapes, appearances, and sizes, they all conform to the characteristics of a dragon: long horns, vertical pupils, scales covering their bodies, and the ability to fly.

All the dragons wore extremely violent expressions, constantly opening their mouths to let out angry roars, and were fighting each other to the death. Countless drops of dragon blood fell from the sky, and corpses fell down like raindrops.

"...What are they doing?"

Xue Jing asked, his brows furrowed slightly.

Ning Yuantai shook his head: "It's still unclear... Just now, after the plane arrived here, it suddenly saw that the area in front was crowded with dragons, so the captain made an emergency stop and didn't know what to do."

Xue Jing asked, "Can't we go around it?"

"I've already tried it... No matter which way you go, either you're blocked by dragons and they try to attack you as soon as you get close, or you'll veer off course and enter dangerous badlands."

Ning Yuantai frowned and said:

"...This seems to be a situation that only occurs during a 'dragon tide'."

Xue Jing glanced at him: "Long Chao?"

Ning Yuantai nodded and said, "Yes... that super creature 'Dragon Mother' that orbits Earth will inexplicably enter a 'prolific production period' every now and then."

"At that time, its reproductive rate will increase dramatically, surge, and explode... It will produce a large number of dragon cubs in a very short period of time, and will cause almost all dragon species to enter a frenzied state."

"At this point, they are extremely aggressive even towards their own kind, let alone other creatures."

"We call this phenomenon a 'Dragon Tide'... The dragons will attack everything in their sights, and even the lands of great nations that they normally dare not approach are not spared."

Ning Yuantai scratched his head: "But 'Dragon Tide' usually only happens once every five to six years. I remember the last one was about three years ago, so I have some doubts about it."

Xue Jing listened, his expression somewhat speechless.

Dragon tides typically occur only once every five or six years...

It just so happened that it occurred before he was on his way to another metropolitan area.

It's hard for him not to connect it to himself.

He had just said he was lucky to have such a great harvest right after setting off, but little did he know that this was where he was waiting for him.

"It's still uncertain. It could be something else, like several 'Emperor Dragons' fighting for territory?"

Ning Yuantai guessed.

Emperor Dragon, Xue Jing had read the information about this special dragon species.

This is a strange being with the ability to command other dragon species. Once it appears, it is always accompanied by multiple other dragon species, but it has no other special abilities. Its combat power is quite weak, so it is jokingly called 'brother dragon' by some people.

Xue Jing shook his head and said, "Don't be complacent... This kind of overwhelming scale can't possibly be the Emperor Dragon fighting for territory."

He was quite familiar with his own troublesome nature, so he wasn't surprised at all that he was so unlucky to run into such a major event as the 'Dragon Tide'.

"What to do now?"

Ning Yuantai hesitated and said, "...At present, it would be best to turn back immediately and replan a safe route."

"But the problem is... we can't guarantee that the new routes won't encounter the same situation."

"Moreover, planning the new route will take time and the journey will be longer, so it may not be possible to reach the seventh metropolitan area before the start of the martial arts exam."

Xue Jing nodded:

"I understand."

So it turned out like this after all...

With a soft sigh, Xue Jing flexed his wrist and said calmly:

"Move the plane closer."

Ning Yuantai & Captain: "Huh?"

"but……"

Xue Jing said without room for argument, "Open the hatch, I'll go ahead and clear the way."

"Then, just keep flying forward and don't worry about anything else."

His tone didn't contain much firmness; it was just a light, emotionless one.

But Ning Yuantai shuddered, his face lighting up with excitement:

"Okay, bring the ship... no, the plane closer!"

The captain looked panicked and hesitated, "Eh? But..."

Ning Yuantai slapped him on the head and threatened, "No buts!"

"Who do you think I am, Brother Xue?!"

The captain swallowed hard but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Ning Yuantai reached out to the dashboard: "You're not moving, are you? What's this button for?"

He made a move to press the button, but the captain quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll take it, I'll take it, Young Master Ning, slow down!"

"呲-"

The hatch opened, and Xue Jing used his feathering ability to float up and slowly flew to the front of the fuselage, placing his feet on the 'nose' at the very front of the plane.

He gazed calmly ahead at the chaotic scene of numerous dragons fighting each other in northwestern Shanxi.

If he were to see such a large number of dragons gathered together in some border region, he would be so happy that he would spiral into the sky.

That's not dragon seed, that's his long-lost divinity.

Unfortunately... the vast majority of dragons in the world today are born from 'Dragon Mothers'.

According to what Xu Ren had mentioned to Xue Jing, and the information he had found himself, all dragons born to the Dragon Mother would quickly turn to dust and disappear without leaving anything behind once they died.

It doesn't seem like 'life' in itself, but rather like a 'derivative' of Daenerys's power.

Simply put, these dragons are not independent individuals, but merely bullets fired from the Dragon Mother's gun.

"...It's highly likely that it has no divinity at all, so killing it would be pointless."

Shaking his head, Xue Jing's mind stirred, and countless streams of black energy converged.

He reached out and grabbed his bathrobe, which was unsuitable for movement, and flung it away.

The moment he ripped off his bathrobe, black energy transformed into black flames, covering his body and forming a magnificent shadow-flame armor, transforming him into a jet-black knight.

At the same time, he chanted incantations.

“Ano Ano Shuatum (I am inseparable from myself)”.

A crimson-gold radiance gathered behind him, and the two-faced divine child, like a guardian deity, slowly emerged.

The figure embodies both divinity and Buddhahood, with one hand clasped to the chest and the other hand clasped in prayer, both shirtless and wearing ancient, crimson-gold armor, exuding an aura of supreme solemnity and holiness.

With crackling sounds, it was as if burning lightning gathered above Xue Jing's head, forming curved and sharp dragon horns. The shattering flames and lightning swept by slightly, electrifying the surrounding air into a continuous vacuum environment.

The people in the cabin stared blankly at Xue Jing, who was making preparations outside the porthole.

These are all incredibly ruthless abilities...

"What are you doing standing still?"

Ning Yuantai crossed his arms and spoke calmly.

"Forward, keep moving forward. Don't stop no matter what you see. Leave everything else to Brother Xue."

He felt quite smug, with a strange sense of superiority and joy, as if he were the one standing outside.

"oh oh!"
