I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

He has basically mastered the skill 【Thousand Transformations】.

First of all, this skill, as its name suggests, allows Xue Jing to be ever-changing.

Middle-aged people, the elderly, women, children... and even other non-human animals can also transform.

This change ignores the structure of the species and is illogical; it is a manifestation of the extraordinary ability 'extraordinary characteristics'.

From then on, no matter what role he played—child, old man, criminal, saint, or even animal—he could physically manifest the corresponding transformations, making him an absolutely perfect 'actor'.

The only thing that I'm not sure if it's a drawback is that... the appearance of the person or animal he transforms into is based on his original form, so he can't completely change his appearance.

Even if it turned into a cat, you could still tell from its facial features that it was Xue Jing.

"I wonder if I can turn into a dragon..."

Xue Maomao looked thoughtful.

If I were a dragon, that would be fine too.

He wanted to give it a try, but found that... he didn't know how to change it.

The prerequisite for being able to transform into a living being is having a sufficient understanding of that living being. Otherwise, if you don't even know the structure of the body or anything like that, you can't imagine what it would feel like to become that living being, and therefore you can't transform.

This is similar to acting. If you can't put yourself in the character's shoes, the result will be a complete mess.

He was able to turn into a cat because of Ning Maomao, who was extremely familiar with and knowledgeable about cats.

But he had killed many dragons, yet he couldn't say he knew much about them.

Although he was very good at the Hidden Dragon Style, the dragon he created was just a figment of his imagination, lacking any concrete reality, and therefore difficult to use as a reference.

"Looks like I'll have to catch a few more dragons and study them in detail later..."

Xue Maomao pondered.

……

Cao Sini and He Han's small team slowly walked back to Xue Jing's stronghold.

"I can't find anyone else around here. Without any points to rack up, where am I, Miss Cao, supposed to get the nutrition I'm lacking?"

He Han remained as brazen as ever, while Cao Sini ignored him.

"This is just the beginning, it's normal not to encounter anyone yet. Once the forced movement mission is triggered again, the movement routes of the various teams will overlap, and then..."

As Chen Xingyan was speaking, he suddenly paused.

"Huh... what's that?"

Everyone followed his gaze.

In the spot where Xue Jing had been sitting, a small figure was now sitting upright.

He looked to be around ten years old, about 1.35 meters tall, with an extremely delicate and pretty face. Because of his young age, his physical characteristics were not yet obvious, and his features were so soft and cute that it was almost impossible to tell whether he was male or female.

But no matter who it is, the first time they see him, they will immediately know that he is a man.

That composed, light laugh, so unlike that of a child, and the majesty revealed in those beautiful, dark blue eyes, were things that no little girl could possess.

He is undeniably an exceptionally handsome young boy.

The Pope of the Church of Christ would stand up on the spot upon seeing it; a perfect template for the "small horse and big cart" theme.

"Teacher Xue...?"

From the vaguely familiar face, Cao Sini hesitated before speaking.

Xue Jing smiled and asked in a sweet, childlike voice, "What's wrong, Sini?"

"what?"

Everyone was stunned.

Ye Jingqiu's breathing became heavy, a blush appeared on her pretty face, and her eyes were wet, almost shooting out hearts.

"Ahhh!!"

Unable to suppress an excited scream, Ye Jingqiu lunged at Xue Jing, who was now a miniature version of her.

"Teacher Xue, let me hug you, please, let me hug you (shaking voice)!!"

Just as she was about to pounce on Xue Jing, a slender figure flashed past.

With a snap, Ye Jingqiu was knocked to the ground and passed out.

Cao Sini blushed slightly, gently holding Xue Jing in her arms and protecting him.

She bit her lip, pressed Xue Jing's head into her cup, suppressing the urge to mash the little boy into her body, and whispered:

"We must not be rude to Teacher Xue..."

As she spoke, she stared blankly at the smaller Xue Jing for a while, and before she could resist, she hugged him tightly. Xue Jing's face was completely buried in the softness, almost flattening it.

"Eh……"

Cao Sini let out a satisfied sigh.

……

"Is this really Teacher Xue?"

Wow...she's just too cute!!

"If I could have a child like that, I'd be secretly laughing even in my coffin when I die!"

"I used to think I hated children and found them annoying, but now I know it has nothing to do with whether the other person is a child or not..."

"Isn't it my turn to hug you, Miss Cao..."

The female students, who were returning one after another, surrounded Xue Jing, who had turned into a young boy, with great excitement.

Because he had become a child, his usual authority was greatly diminished by his childlike appearance, which made the female students much bolder in their interactions with Xue Jing, and they frequently tried to make physical contact with him.

However, Xue Jing was always firmly protected by Cao Sini, and she did not succeed.

The group of male students did not participate; they simply watched from the sidelines.

He Han sighed enviously, "These women are really shameless. Miss Cao is too. She usually acts all frigid, but now she's finally revealed her true nature. She's clearly trying to force Teacher Xue to go back with her and work as a star!"

Zhao Longtu glanced at him and asked curiously:

Why did Teacher Xue get smaller?

Chen Xingyan explained, "They say it's a rather peculiar martial art that can alter one's body structure and cause changes in the flesh. It's not just about shrinking; it seems even animals can transform..."

Zhao Longtu scratched his head: "Is this really something that can be achieved through martial arts training?"

He could understand the shrinking of the body. Although he had never seen it in real life, he had read novels, such as the Tianshan Child Granny, so it was not surprising that such martial arts existed.

Transforming into animals is a bit fantastical... it has to be related to the Monkey King.

However, they were already used to the many strange things about Xue Jing. Compared to suddenly being able to take out cooking utensils and food to cook in the Sea of ​​Steel, turning into a child or an animal was much easier to accept, so they were not too surprised.

Xue Jing was positioned in the middle of the female students, gently held by Cao Sini like a mother tiger protecting her cubs.

He crossed his arms, the left side of his head nestled in Cao Sini's soft, rounded breasts. The delicate fragrance of the young girl lingered in his nostrils, but he remained expressionless, like a precocious and composed child.

"You must not be rude to Teacher Xue," Cao Sini said calmly.

"You're the most rude one!" the girls complained.

Cao Sini paused slightly, pretending not to hear, and looked away.

"Feeling guilty, aren't you!"

"Let go of Teacher Xue right now!"

Xue Jing pursed his lips: "Alright, stop arguing."

He broke free from Cao Sini's embrace and said in his childish voice:

"There will be another mobile mission soon, so take the time to rest. You may not feel anything now, but you will have to travel long distances every eight hours afterward. As fatigue accumulates, it will not be easy to recover."

Although he looked like a child, the moment he opened his mouth, his accumulated authority immediately pressed down, leaving the female students with no choice but to obey.

“Sini, you too.”

Xue Jing looked at Cao Sini.

"Your teacher has high expectations for you. Women are genetically limited and not suited for fighting, but you have the calm temperament to become a strong person."

"But now it seems we weren't calm enough."

Cao Sini lowered her head:

"I know I was wrong, Teacher Xue."

Xue Jing hummed in agreement, walked up to her, and extended his right hand.

Seeing this, Cao Sini obediently squatted down, making herself shorter than Xue Jing.

A small hand touched her head and gently patted it.

"Go and rest... You'll have to work hard later."

Xue Jing spoke gently.

……

Night falls.

Despite having no sun, the Sea of ​​Steel unexpectedly possesses the same distinction between day and night as the real world.

According to the information Xue Jing had seen, this was because the boundary itself was a product of the fusion of the present world and the other world. Any boundary, no matter how chaotic, would inevitably bear traces of the present world.

The same is true of the Sea of ​​Steel; it has no sun or moon, yet day and night cycle, precisely because the laws of the present world are reflected here.

At this point, the second forced movement task has been issued.

Anyone with even a little knowledge of wilderness survival knows that such a pitch-black night is extremely unsuitable for movement. Humans rely heavily on vision to perceive the outside world, and when vision is impaired, many coping mechanisms are lost when encountering danger.

However, the forced movement task has a time limit of eight hours, while the night lasts for more than eight hours.

Everyone must walk in the dark to the designated area of ​​the mission, or they will lose a lot of points.
