I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

Thirty seconds later, a serious look appeared in Chen Fuguang's eyes.

He looked at Xue Jing's eyes, which were stained crimson, and felt a sense of unease.

'Asura Blade Intent… Master actually taught this to his junior brother?'

"Click——"

The long sword in Chen Fuguang's hand could not withstand the continuous slashes and broke apart.

His expression changed slightly, and he was about to call for a halt when he noticed that Xue Jing had already drawn his sword, turned around, and stood calmly, his pupils turning back to black.

Chen Fuguang was stunned.

"Junior brother, are you... awake?"

Xue Jing gave him a strange look. "Otherwise what?"

Chen Fuguang scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said with relief:

"It seems I was overthinking it..."

Come to think of it, my master is a wise and experienced man, how could he not have considered this?

If the junior brother didn't have the ability to control the Asura Blade Intent, his master definitely wouldn't have passed it on to him.

Chen Fuguang exclaimed, "Junior Brother, you are truly a monster... Putting aside your talent for martial arts, even your talent for 'stillness' is so outstanding."

“Master said that the killing intent generated by the Asura Blade is the ultimate in ‘dynamic energy’, yet you can still maintain ‘balance between movement and stillness’. While receiving the killing intent, you can also completely control it and release it at will.”

"My third senior brother got into trouble because he came into contact with the Asura Blade. He's currently in the Inner Ring City, cultivating his mind and character with that 'Asura Chen'."

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow.

This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

"Junior brother, how long have you been practicing the Asura Blade Intent?"

Chen Fuguang asked.

"In the next couple of days, I'll do it," Xue Jing said casually.

"Huh?" Chen Fuguang was completely stunned.

"You mastered the Asura Blade Intent in just two days?"

His face was filled with disbelief.

"This is a top-tier martial art from the old martial arts world..."

Xue Jing shook his head and smiled, "No, Senior Brother Chen, you've misunderstood."

"I didn't learn the Asura Blade Intent, but rather 'imitated' it."

Xue Jing opened the panel and took a look.

[You have completed a combat training exercise, gaining 88 combat experience points.]

[You have completed a practical training exercise; visualization experience points +38]

[...Fitness experience points +73]

[...Hidden Dragon Strength Experience Points +66]

[Visualization Lv5 (688/2000)]

The so-called Asura Blade Intent is actually a visualization technique, similar to the Hidden Dragon Technique's visualization of oneself as a dragon.

By visualizing a blade of Asura flowing with endless blood, one can continuously slash, slash, slash in the world of corpses and blood that is formed in one's mind.

This cultivates a pure and boundless killing intent, which, in martial arts terms, belongs to 'moving energy'.

Just as an angry person's punch is always heavier than usual, a blade carrying this boundless killing intent will naturally be unstoppable and incredibly powerful.

However, even with the panel, it would be impossible for Xue Jing to learn such advanced technology so quickly in just two days.

"I used my imagination to imitate the Asura Blade Intent that my master once used."

Xue Jing touched the blade of the long sword in his hand.

The unsharpened blade was covered with countless nicks and slits, all from the fierce chopping just now.

"Imitation... this works?" Chen Fuguang's face was full of bewilderment.

This was beyond his comprehension.

Xue Jing smiled.

He didn't know how to explain it either.

The skill 【Visualization】 is extremely absurd.

To give an analogy, this skill is like the "Xiao Wu Xiang Gong" in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, which can imitate other martial arts.

Xue Jing used the extreme imagination brought about by [Visualization] to forcibly imitate the killing intent of the Asura Blade.

Of course, it's different from the exaggerated effect of the Lesser Formless Skill, which has power comparable to or even surpasses the original martial arts.

The effect of the Asura sword intent imitated by the visualization is not very good; it is just like a child imitating an adult smoking.

The smoke inhaled only stays in the mouth and does not pass through the lungs.

It contains not a trace of the essence; it is merely a copy, and cannot compare to the true Asura Blade Intent at all.

'The inability to imitate the true Asura Blade Intent wasn't due to a lack of visualization skills... but rather a insufficient level.'

Xue Jing muttered to himself.

As his visualization level increases, his imagination will be continuously enhanced.

One day, we will reach a point where we can perfectly imitate the true essence of any martial art with just a glance.

At that time, he will be Kakashi, the Copy Ninja...

"Alright, that's enough for today. Thank you for accompanying me in my cultivation, Senior Brother Chen."

Xue Jing glanced at the broken longsword in Chen Fuguang's hand and laughed.

"That's not true. I also learned something from sparring with my junior brother."

Chen Fuguang patted Xue Jing on the shoulder.

"...I'm really looking forward to it, junior brother. Just how far can a genius like you go?"

……

In the afternoon, Xue Jing returned home.

He took out his key and opened the door. As soon as he entered, Xue Jing smelled the aroma of food.

He closed the door, walked into the kitchen, and saw Ning Fengwan busy inside.

"Hmm? Teacher Wan, you can cook too?"

Xue Jing couldn't help but laugh.

Ning Fengwan scooped up a spoonful of the simmering winter melon and pork rib soup, blew on it, took a sip, and narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with the taste.

She glanced back at Xue Jing and snorted, "This sect leader wasn't raised in a pampered manner. You're lucky to have a meal today."

Xue Jing walked behind her, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder.

Ning Fengwan's cat ears twitched, and a barely perceptible blush appeared on her cheeks, but she muttered, "Go away and stop causing trouble."

Someone has developed feelings for you; Charm skill experience points +19.

Xue Jing glanced at the panel and smiled.

"Just these few dishes? Make more, let me help you."

Ning Fengwan turned around and gently pushed his chest with her delicate hand.

"That's enough for you... Hey, you can go out now, I can do it myself."

Xue Jing was pushed out of the kitchen.

He rubbed his chin, feeling that the scene was somewhat reminiscent of a newlywed couple.

It's a pity something's missing.

He turned his head and glanced at Ning Fengwan's clothes.

A light blue T-shirt and silk shorts—a simple home outfit, all clothes Xue Jing bought for her in the last couple of days.

She was wearing an apron.

Xue Jing felt somewhat regretful.

I wonder when we'll see the ultimate romance for men—the nude apron…

Several home-style dishes were quickly prepared, and Xue Jing and Ning Fengwan served themselves rice and sat down at the table.

Watching Xue Jing put a piece of fried pork rib into his mouth, Ning Fengwan raised an eyebrow and said:

"how?"

Xue Jing thought to himself: So-so.

But he said, "Invincible."

Ning Fengwan nodded with satisfaction in her eyes.

"By the way, Teacher Wan, I'm going to Fengcheng in a few days. Would you like to come with me?"

While eating, Xue Jing spoke up.

Ning Fengwan asked in confusion, "What are you going to Fengcheng for?"

Xue Jing thought for a moment and said, "President Wu has a task..."

He recounted the events involving Suzuka Otogi and GOD-519 in detail.

Ning Fengwan nodded after listening.

“Going to the competition isn’t a big deal, so I’ll go with you.”

As she spoke, her voice suddenly became much softer: "Deepening my connection with Bastet... requires perseverance."
