I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"Administrative Committee of the Organizations..."

Xue Jing looked thoughtful.

He had heard his own little Haru A Meng mention this name.

This is the highest leadership of the Special Agency for Emergency Management of Abnormal Disasters, also known as the Sixth Agency. It consists of thirteen members, including the chairman of the committee, almost all of whom are important figures living in the 'Cangting'.

Without exception, the chairman of each committee has always been the one who is no longer in office.

In comparison, Zhige, which belongs to the Special Operations Department, is merely a subordinate organization of the Sixth Agency.

"I see... Is it similar to a supervisory team?"

Ning Yuantai nodded and said, "This is the usual practice for all special operations organizations in the Special Operations Department. Baiya's organization also has it. In addition to the commander-in-chief, each special operations organization also has two key personnel dispatched by the agency committee to 'assist' the commander... This is the written version. In reality, it is to prevent the organization from becoming a one-man show by the commander and breaking away from the control of the agency."

"Because of this purpose, the two key figures wield terrifying power... They can command all members of Zhige except the commander. Of course, this is only a written power; in reality, not all Zhige members will obey."

"Most importantly, they have the power to report and impeach commanders to the committee...that's why they can restrain commanders."

Xue Jing tapped his fingers on the armrest of the recliner and said:

“If key officials have equal command authority and can also impeach others… if that’s the case, wouldn’t the commander be crushed? She wouldn’t be able to manage the war at all.”

Ning Yuantai shook his head and said:

"No, that's not the case. The higher-ups have taken this into account, so they've set a lot of restrictions."

"One is that the orders of key personnel are lower in priority than those of the commander, and when orders conflict, the commander's orders will take precedence."

"Impeachment requires two key officials to reach a consensus and submit a petition to the committee before it will be accepted."

"Under normal circumstances, unless the commander of a special operations organization is particularly powerful, the two key personnel will be subordinates of two different factions within the committee."

"And the term of office is also very short, only two years... As a result, the interests of two key figures from different factions are not aligned, making it difficult for them to unite. Moreover, with such a short term of office, they are unlikely to pose a significant threat to the commander."

"But the power of impeachment is always a Damocles' sword hanging over their heads, and commanders will naturally face many limitations when it comes to managing an organization..."

Xue Jing felt a bit overwhelmed by what he heard, and shook his head, saying:

"Your kind of big organization is really troublesome."

The martial arts world is simpler; whoever has the biggest fist is right.

"So one of these two important officials wants to kill me... Which one do you think it is?"

Xue Jing inquired.

Ning Yuantai pondered for a moment and said:

"The two current key members of Zhige are Yu Linghan and Wu Yanxi... I don't know much about these two and haven't had much interaction with them."

“However, Wu Yanxi is a member of the Wu family. Given your relationship with Miss Wu, I don’t think it’s him. If we use the process of elimination, Yu Linghan is more likely.”

Ning Yuantai analyzed it very seriously.

Xue Jing nodded.

He trusted Wu Youqing completely. If she was from Youqing's family, she probably wouldn't harm him. So it must be this Yu Linghan...

Thinking of this, Xue Jing's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

'The enemy is often not only in front, but sometimes hiding behind; you have to look back carefully from time to time...'

"...When I overheard the people above talking about how to deal with you, they mentioned something along the lines of, 'a trump card from an unexpected source, a trap set in stone, foolproof...'"

The conversation between Xue Jing and Li Suisui, the kid from the Sea of ​​Steel, suddenly came to mind.

This was a sudden, intuitive thought.

Xue Jing's eyes flickered, and he fell into deep thought.

With his current level of strength, his intuition has been enhanced to an inhuman degree, and any sudden idea or flash of inspiration cannot be ignored.

'An unexpected place...'

For the members of the Secret Martial Arts Society to utter the words "unexpected," it's likely that the person who offered help wasn't an enemy Xue Jing had openly provoked before.

If you think about it more carefully, what could be "unexpected" is probably not "someone who might attack him even though he hasn't provoked him before".

"It has to be someone who 'never expected to help'..."

He leaned back in the recliner, his hands clasped over his stomach, his expression unchanged.

“Youqing A Meng wouldn’t harm me, and has no reason to harm me… but Wu’s attitude towards me might be different from her own.”

After thinking for a moment, Xue Jing did not choose to call Wu Youqing directly, but instead turned to look at Ning Yuantai.

"Yuan Tai, could you please relay this for me? I need the Commander's help..."

He gave Ning Yuantai a few instructions, and the latter nodded to indicate that he understood.

"By the way, Brother Xue, the base chief at Zhige Base wants to meet with you and asked me to ask your opinion."

Ning Yuantai seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still spoke.

Xue Jing smiled but didn't say anything.

Ning Yuantai nodded: "I understand."

After Xue Ge didn't return to the Zhige base after that, but instead moved to another place, he understood what was going on. However, at Zhang Jinghe's request, he still reluctantly asked a question.

Ning Yuantai sighed inwardly.

He and the base commander had a fairly good relationship; he had been well taken care of when he visited Silver City before... It's a pity that this person doesn't have a strong desire for advancement.

Brother Xue is a magnanimous person and won't hold a grudge over something like this... but the olive branch that could have led to a relationship has been broken.

Shaking his head, Ning Yuantai stopped thinking about these things and continued:

"Brother Xue, the Black Nest has investigated thoroughly. They used a Dragon Core Satellite as a price to try to get close and film the Dragon Mother, but it was destroyed by the surrounding dragons. However, before it was destroyed, they still managed to capture some footage, confirming that the Dragon Mother was showing signs of entering her 'mass birthing period'."

“Recently, there have been instances of dragons attacking people in a frenzy all over the world... In about one or two months, the dragon tide will arrive.”

……

Two days later, Xue Jing woke up from his sleep.

His dark blue eyes gleamed in the dimly lit room with the doors and windows closed, and a faint lotus fragrance emanated from his body, permeating the entire room.

He opened the panel and glanced at it.

[...Sleep experience points +2369]

Sleep improvement upgraded to Lv10 (328/?)

[Sleep Lv10 (Can be upgraded)]

Sublimation conditions:

Firstly, ? ? ? ? ? (Already satisfied)

Secondly, the level has reached Lv10 (already satisfied).

Thirdly, required divinity: 1000.

[Conditions met. Spend 1000 Divine Ascension?]

Without hesitation, Xue Jing clicked to confirm the ascension.

The next moment, the [Sleep] symbol on the panel gradually melted away like ink.

A brand new skill slowly appeared on the Extraordinary Skills panel.

【Nirvana Lv1 (Transcendent)】

[Upgrade Requirements: 0/10000 Experience Points, 6012/1000 Divinity]

"Ok?"

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow.

He had already practiced the Nirvana Technique, and the name of his transcendent skill after the sublimation of [Sleep] was also Nirvana... Was it a coincidence?

"This skill originally appeared because of the cultivation of Nirvana Technique... The activation and sublimation conditions also seem to be related to Nirvana Technique."

"It must not be a coincidence..."

Xue Jing pondered for a moment.

He vaguely glimpsed the mechanics of the panel skills again... but there were still many things that needed to be verified.

Putting all that aside for now, Xue Jing calmed down and focused on experiencing the effects of his new extraordinary skill.

After a while.

"This……"

Xue Jing looked puzzled.

He now knows what the skill's effect is.

"Could this world actually be a game world?"

"Am I some kind of final boss that players have to fight through several stages to defeat...?"

Xue Jing scratched his head.

The effect of [Nirvana] is very simple; there are two: one active effect and one passive effect.

The passive effect is an enhanced version of [Sleep]. While asleep, it can restore injuries, vitality, energy, etc. at an abnormally fast speed. All abnormalities in the body will be quickly restored.

If combined with the Nirvana Technique, even if he were severely injured and on the verge of death, with severed hands and feet, he would recover in the time it takes to fall asleep. It can be said to be quite abnormal.

The active effects are even more outrageous...

After he actively uses [Nirvana], he will immediately recover from all injuries and remove all abnormal statuses, and for a short period of time, his physical combat power will be greatly enhanced...

This is essentially equivalent to having an extra life... or rather, an enhanced life.

Like a boss in a game that's about to enter its second phase...

Xue Jing had already imagined how his future opponents would feel when facing him.

He's already physically strong, and he has a bunch of random, flashy, overpowered skills to slam into your face, plus various summoned beasts (divine avatars) assisting him from the sidelines...
