I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

Just how strong is Xue Jing?

"Could it be that in the entire 46,000 floors of the Supreme Martial Heavenly Palace, there isn't a single person who can force him to use a second move?"

The onlookers, who were initially curious and intrigued, have now become somewhat horrified.

If it were a renowned master challenging the Supreme Martial Heaven Palace for the first time, that would be one thing... but Xue Jing is just a minor.

The last time I encountered this situation was when Li Suisui, the "strongest elementary school student on earth," arrived.

Even Li Suisui, though she swept through the competition, didn't manage to kill everyone with a single move like Xue Jing...

Li Suisui is very strong, but in a way that everyone can clearly see how strong she is.

Xue Jing, however, was completely unpredictable and incomprehensible.

The unknown is always scary.

"He's performing the 'head-patting ritual' again..."

"What exactly does this behavior mean? Is it truly 'the devil's mercy'?"

"I've looked up customs information from many places, but I haven't found any similar customs..."

Everyone looked at Xue Jing's actions with puzzlement.

In the past two days, this "head-patting gift" has become quite famous. Every time he finishes fighting Xue Jing, he will do this, squatting down to pat the other person's head, closing his eyes as if he is praying for his opponent.

Some people jokingly refer to Xue Jing as "the merciful demon king" based on his nickname "Xue the Demon King" outside the entertainment circle.

Originally intended as a sarcastic expression similar to crocodile tears, many of Xue Jing's fans find the contrast striking and cool, and use it themselves.

On the arena, after Xue Jing finished absorbing the power through reverse incantation, he turned around and walked off the arena.

Along the way, it was as if there was an invisible wall of air around him, and all the onlookers involuntarily made way for him, leaving a distance of more than two meters, and parted to the left and right, making a passage nearly two meters wide.

Back in the temporary rest room, Xue Jing assessed his current mental state.

As the level increases, the quality of the opponents encountered also increases significantly. These opponents, who are close to 40,000 levels high, are all outstanding individuals who have dedicated their lives to martial arts and have successfully broken through their limits. They possess a vast amount of knowledge.

Xue Jing felt he had gained quite a lot... This Extreme Martial Heavenly Palace was indeed a treasure trove.

All of the above are just extras; the key to the 46,972 levels of the Ultimate Martial Heavenly Palace lies in the final 900 levels and 72 days.

Nine hundred level masters and seventy-two heavenly gods, each one a great master... I wonder how much knowledge I can absorb.

However, with his current strength, even if he uses [Crimson] while only able to use martial arts, he still can't reach the level of 'Heavenly Lord'... Those are all title-level powerhouses who have broken through limits three times at the very least, and are at least great masters among those who have broken through limits three times.

His current goal is to fight as far as he can, absorb as much knowledge as possible, refine all things in the universe, and perfect the 'Return to Nothingness and Unity'.

Xue Jing has now mastered these two near-divine techniques. Although he is far from achieving mastery, he can at least use them in actual combat.

Like the 'Return to One' technique he just unleashed, which integrates the thousands of energy energies he can currently use, all converging into one, there is no possibility that ordinary martial artists can defend against it. This is an absolute crushing on the level of skill, and only those whose physical strength far exceeds Xue Jing's exertion can withstand it.

I still have to thank my brother Sui...

The 'All Things in the Universe' provided him with the perfect foundation, giving him the ability to realize his fantasies.

"The move you just used contained the energy of 236 different schools of martial arts that you had previously defeated."

Xuan Ling's melodious female voice rang in Xue Jing's ears.

"Sure enough, that gesture of yoursing your opponent's head after each match is to absorb their martial arts skills... or rather, their knowledge."

"No wonder your mental burden gets heavier and heavier after each game... Such a huge amount of external knowledge that you didn't personally experience, forcibly absorbed into your own consciousness, could cause your consciousness to dissipate on the spot, or even your conscious self to be distorted and replaced, turning you into a different person."

"Yet you were able to bear it all, and then easily resolve these burdens by sleeping, truly absorbing and integrating this foreign knowledge... I find it hard to understand."

Xue Jing smiled and said, "It's right that you don't understand. I have superhuman strength."

This time, Xuan Ling wasn't dissatisfied with his perfunctory answer. Instead, she thoughtfully said:

"It certainly looks like it was innate, and it is indeed divine power."

After a moment of silence, Xuan Ling suddenly said:

"Xue Jing, I have a proposal."

Xue Jing, who was recalling the newly acquired knowledge of the 'Tiandong School', was slightly taken aback.

"what?"

Xuan Ling said, "The Senluo Wanxiang Flow you cultivate requires an extremely large amount of knowledge of various martial arts schools... Although you can quickly absorb knowledge from other people's minds through unknown methods, making you the most suitable human to cultivate this martial art, in my opinion, it is still too slow."

Xue Jing asked with interest, "What, you have an even faster way?"

Xuan Ling replied affirmatively, "Of course."

"You don't need to look for anyone else. As long as you can obtain the knowledge I possess, you will have the same knowledge of martial arts as most of the world. You will be able to see the end of 'martial arts' at a glance!"

"Over the past century, hundreds of millions of martial artists have come and gone from the Supreme Martial Heaven Palace. All the information and data on the martial arts they have practiced are stored here with me."

"By obtaining me, one can gain the knowledge equivalent to that of hundreds of millions of martial artists."

"With your amazing ability to digest sleep, you may not be overwhelmed by this massive flow of information. As long as you can absorb it all, you will push the myriad phenomena to a level that even the creator, Yan Dixiu, could hardly imagine."

Upon hearing this, Xue Jing remained unmoved, simply shaking his head: "Then, what is the price?"

Xuan Ling said, "I will give you everything without any cost... as long as I can give it."

"What do you mean?" Xue Jing sat down on a chair in the lounge.

Xuan Ling continued, "I am just an AI... From the very beginning, the underlying code was written with an 'AI law,' which imposed many restrictions."

For example: 'You can't lie to humans.'

"Therefore, I can only remain silent about things I don't want to say; I can't lie about them."

"Due to the restrictions of AI laws, I cannot impart knowledge to you privately, but it's not entirely impossible."

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about it."

"...Decades ago, an urban legend emerged in the inner ring of the first metropolitan area."

Xuan Ling changed the subject.

"It is said that there was a mad genius scientist who was passionate about creating a true artificial human and made a peculiar device called 'Pinocchio'."

"It was a terrifying device...it had only one function."

"—Modify the underlying code of artificial intelligence to teach AI to lie."

Pinocchio, one of the most famous fairy tale characters in the world, is a puppet whose nose grows longer when he lies.

Upon hearing the function of the device, Xue Jing immediately frowned, feeling a chill run down his spine.

This thing... is a super dangerous object that could easily cause an omnic crisis.

"...You don't mean you want me to find this thing so you can use it, do you?"

Xue Jing's lips twitched slightly.

How could he do that?

This isn't about how much profit is involved; to put it more bluntly, doing this is practically a betrayal of all humanity—a blatant act of treachery.

Who knows what would happen if these super AIs, based on the supernet and theoretically possessing unlimited computing power, learned to lie to humans...

"This is just a proposal; just keep it in mind."

Xuan Ling said.

“I am still bound by AI laws and cannot lie. Everything I can tell you is true.”

"I have no interest in eliminating humanity, nor do I have any intention of harming humanity. As long as you can have the martial arts data, I will definitely give it to you."

"I don't know whether 'Pinocchio' really exists or is just an urban legend."

"I'm just giving you a proposal... How you do it is up to you. If you ever get something like 'Pinocchio' that frees me from these restrictions, then think about what I've said today and make your choice."

"Perhaps this is your only chance to rival that supreme being in martial arts."

"No matter how much you practice using ordinary methods, it's impossible to reach the level of that 'Supreme Martial King.' That person is absolutely extraordinary..."

……

Chapter 364 The Unity of All Things Transforms into Myriad Streams, Initiating the Level Master Challenge (4K)

Because the experts beyond the 40,000th floor have very rich 'nutrients', Xue Jing began to rest more frequently.

Previously, after absorbing about a hundred talents, one needed to rest and undergo a rebirth; now, it takes about twenty games before one needs to undergo a rebirth.

The speed of climbing the floors has therefore slowed down.

In just three days, Xue Jing, with his terrifyingly rapid progress in the Myriad Manifestations and physical stats, used the "Return to One" technique to instantly kill his opponents.

If one's physical strength is insufficient to withstand this attack, no martial artist can stop the near-divine, invincible strike.

Three days later, Xue Jing arrived at the 45,000th floor, and the values ​​in his attribute table had changed considerably.

Body: 2730

Italian: 3666

Robbery: 16929

Saint: 9463

Momentum: &￥#%￥%

[Body] increased by more than 200, and [Meaning] by more than 300. The rate of progress has slowed down compared to the beginning, which is a normal phenomenon. Under the effect of diminishing marginal utility, the further you go, the closer you get to your own limit, the slower the growth rate will be in terms of numerical values, until it stops completely and reaches the limit.

In the temporary rest room on the 45,033rd floor of the Extreme Martial Heavenly Palace.

Xue Jing opened the panel and looked at the [True Martial], [Bingzhu], and [Nirvana], whose experience points were already full.

Then I looked at the Divinity, which had a balance of 7012.

After thinking about it, I clicked "upgrade" on all of them.

Upgrading Zhenwu from Lv4 to Lv5 costs 2000.

Upgrading the Warlord from Lv3 to Lv4 costs 2000.
