And looking up from the river view below, following the gaze along those rounded thighs that gleamed faintly under the lights, one could even vaguely see some mysterious sights.

"You're such a grown man, don't brag about it yourself."

"Sorata."

"Sigh! Okay, okay..." Knowing that he wouldn't be able to take a bath in peace without her blowing on him, Jiang Jing shook his head, picked up his clothes, and went upstairs to the second floor.

"Alright, don't stay up too late tonight, go to bed early." In front of the dressing table, Shiina Mashiro, wrapped in a bath towel, sat obediently with her fair shoulders and ivory legs exposed.

Jiang Jing, who had just dried her hair, turned off the hairdryer and gave Shiina Mashiro some instructions.

"Sora is so annoying," Shiina Mashiro said in a flat tone.

"If you know it's annoying, then remember it. You always forget what I say." Jiang Jing couldn't help but give her a light tap on the forehead.

"pain."

Shiina Mashiro tilted her head back, covering her forehead with both hands. The towel on her body came undone from the violent movement, instantly revealing a figure that shimmered under the light... to Jiang Jing.

Shaking his head, Jiang Jing picked up a bath towel from the floor, wrapped it around Zhenbai, and then picked her up and put her on the bed: "Alright, you've been busy all day, go to sleep early."

"I want to sleep at Sorata's place."

"why?"

"It's comfortable being with Sorata."

"Uh... I can't refuse that reason. You can change into your pajamas first, I'm going to take a shower." Jiang Jing took a set of pajamas out of the closet and gave them to Shiina Mashiro, then took his own clothes and went downstairs to take a shower.

P.S.: Second update. Thanks for the votes, everyone! Only two more days left, almost there!

Chapter Sixty-Four: Seeing Gods Without Destruction, Supernatural Powers Arise Naturally

When Jiang Jing returned to his room after taking a shower, he saw Shiina Mashiro, wearing a white cotton t-shirt and shorts, drawing on his computer desk.

Shiina Mashiro, who was drawing, looked up at Jiang Jing with a calm gaze: "Sorata takes a bath so quickly."

"Uh... why are you focusing on this issue..."

Unlike other Japanese people, Jiang Jing doesn't have the habit of taking baths, so he usually just stands under the shower, applies some shower gel, rinses off quickly, and that's it.

For Jiang Jing, who had spent more than half a month cultivating the Condensed Power Technique to its highest level, breaking through the void to see the indestructible and perfectly controlling his body, taking a bath or not made no difference.

His physical body is now constantly pure, spotless, and flawless.

Speaking of Chinese martial arts, even Jiang Jing couldn't help but marvel at the incredible talent of the person who pioneered this path of breaking limits with an ordinary human body in a world without supernatural powers.

In the early stages of traditional Chinese martial arts, the two stages of Ming Jin (manifested strength) and An Jin (hidden strength) are still within the realm of ordinary people.

However, when one reaches the third stage of "transformation into strength," where the power permeates the entire body, regulates the internal organs, and reaches the four extremities of teeth, tongue, nails, and hair, and the hidden strength spreads throughout the body to the point where not a feather can be added and not a fly can land, one has already broken through the limits of human beings.

Moreover, it was simply a matter of an ordinary person's flesh and blood forcibly breaking through the shackles, without any internal energy, magic power, or extraordinary factors.

The fourth step involves the internalization of the elixir, where the golden elixir is formed in all its parts, and the essence, qi, spirit, blood, marrow, and nectar of the whole body are concentrated into a single point, just like the tiny point that evolved into the vast world at the beginning of the primordial chaos, when one officially embarks on the path of transcendence and sainthood.

Simply put, this realm involves concentrating all the body's power into the dantian and then unleashing it with a bang. The closer the power is concentrated, the stronger the compression and the more terrifying the explosion.

Imagine Jiang Jing's current terrifying physical body and strength, condensed and concentrated dozens of times, then unleashed with a deafening roar...

At the fifth stage, the Gang Jin (罡劲) becomes highly concentrated, capable of penetrating the body and striking outwards, a feat that a normal person can only achieve within an inch. When the power erupts from the entire body, it can tear apart air currents and transform them into Gang Qi (罡气), a power so immense that it is virtually unparalleled in the world.

When Jiang Jing mastered the martial arts' "罡劲" (罡劲, a type of internal energy cultivation technique) last week, he stood on the sea and casually slashed, using less than 10% of his refined power, yet unleashed a force several times greater than his ordinary full-force punch.

The pure, condensed power burst forth from his body, transforming into tangible qi that tore through the sea, creating a terrifying abyss that stretched for over ten miles without any seawater.

If Jiang Jing hadn't subsequently suppressed the aftershocks, a catastrophic tsunami would have struck the nearby Japanese coast.

The highest level of Chinese martial arts is breaking through the void and seeing the divine without being destroyed. After entering this realm, one can perfectly control one's body and have complete knowledge of it.

What kind of god? The "god" in alchemical texts and martial arts is not the ethereal Jade Emperor or Laozi in the heavens.

Rather, it is the vast number of acupoints in the body, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. These acupoints and their sensitive points govern the body's functions, much like deities who govern all things in the universe. They can also be described as another mysterious power hidden within the physical body.

After taking this step, one will develop the hidden treasures of the physical body. As strength increases and many supernatural abilities are developed, they will naturally emerge. Upon reaching the peak, one will find that the path of bloodline gene laws that Jiang Jing once walked leads to the same destination.

One involves developing the potential of the physical body and evolving from an ordinary mortal towards becoming an immortal or god, while the other involves fundamentally changing one's essence to become an immortal or god and then gradually growing to reach the peak.

The two paths are progressive and have great potential, but if you are weak in the early stages, it is almost impossible to reach the peak.

One begins by touching the end, but because it is limited by the original framework, it will eventually become too difficult to break out of the cage because the framework it has grown with is too solid.

After discovering the potential of Chinese martial arts, Jiang Jing has made his future path clear: to simultaneously pursue two paths—evolution with Kryptonian bloodline and the development of supernatural abilities hidden within the physical body.

It possesses supreme power within itself, without relying on external forces.

In fact, the Kryptonians' super vision is very similar to the Taoist supernatural ability of seeing far into the future, and Superman's ability to see the future is similar to the Buddhist supernatural ability of the Samsara Eye.

Taoist golden bodies, Buddha's Vajra body, Superman's steel body, superhuman speed, shrinking distances, and light-speed travel—in the end, they all seem pretty much the same in terms of their manifestations.

However, unlike the supernatural powers of Taoism and Buddhism, which belong to the mysterious and extraordinary side, the abilities of Superman are more inclined to genetic evolution, that is, to surpass the extraordinary with the mundane. This is completely consistent with the inner pursuit of Chinese martial arts, and Jiang Jing believes that they can complement each other.

This unexpected gain further solidified Jiang Jing's idea of ​​simply drifting through life and eventually achieving the supreme status of all beings.

Because he doesn't need any resources at all; he just needs to lie there quietly, and his strength will grow rapidly to an invincible and terrifying level.

Compared to the previous life where she struggled to survive and was constantly in life-or-death situations, this life's start is so blissful that even the gods would be jealous.

So now, if anyone dares to disrupt his peaceful life, Jiang Jing, in a good mood, will show them what it means to be unable to live or die.

If I'm in a bad mood, I don't care if you're a god, king, or demon lord, I'll just slap you to death.

"Mashiro, besides wanting to be a cartoonist, what else do you want to do?" Jiang Jing sat cross-legged on the floor in front of the bed, teasing the white cat Xiaoguang and the black cat Xiwang with a finger in each hand, and asked casually.

“A manga artist.” Shiina Mashiro spun her chair, tilted her head, and looked at Jiang Jing’s back as he teased the cat.

She was particularly focused on the two cats that were having fun playing with Jiang Jing.

"Meow..." As if noticing Shiina Mashiro's gaze, the white cat Hikari, whose belly was being scratched by Jiang Jing, lay comfortably on the bed, its amber cat eyes slightly narrowed as it let out a comfortable meow.

Jiang Jing was a little speechless at Shiina Mashiro's answer: "Uh... what about after you become a manga artist?"

"After becoming a manga artist?" Shiina Mashiro's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

While pondering, Shiina Mashiro raised her hands, expressionless, and watched as the white cat Hikari tilted to the left, making a gesture that only she understood.

"I don't know?" Shiina Mashiro replied, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Don't know?" Jiang Jing turned around.

"What are you doing in that position? Is your back sore?"

"Plan C".

What is Plan C?

"Sora, can you help me think of one?" Shiina Mashiro put down her hand, sat up straight, and looked at Jiang Jing.

"You yourself don't even know how I can help you think of things." Jiang Jing was speechless.

"Is that not allowed?" Shiina Mashiro asked, puzzled.

"No."

"So, Sorata, what is your dream?"

"My dream?"

Jiang Jing paused slightly, as if he had thought of something, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face that Shiina Mashiro could not understand. He said easily, "My dream has been fulfilled."

"Done? Sorata's dream is to be a novelist? Not a manga artist?" Shiina Mashiro tilted her head.

Jiang Jing shook his head slightly: "No, that writer or cartoonist title was just something I filled in randomly, just for fun to pass the time."

"So, Sorata, what exactly is your dream? I want to know," Shiina Mashiro pressed.

"It's very simple: live freely."

"Live freely." Jiang Jing's words startled Shiina Mashiro. What kind of dream was that?

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You wouldn't understand now." Jiang Jing shook his head and chuckled, laughing at himself for discussing such a profound topic with Shiina Mashiro.

"How am I supposed to understand if Sorata doesn't tell me?" Jiang Jing's expression, which implied that even if he explained it, Sorata wouldn't understand, inexplicably annoyed Shiina Mashiro, who puffed out her cheeks.

P.S.: It will be available for purchase the day after tomorrow. I'm not asking for any rewards, but how about we give it a recommendation vote and add an extra chapter in advance?

Currently, I get a little over 2,000 recommendation votes per day. Starting from today, the current number is 35959. I will add one more chapter for every 2,000 recommendation votes, and this will continue until the end of this month.

Because I type very slowly, less than a thousand chapters per hour, the minimum guarantee after publication is two chapters. How many chapters I can release on the day of publication depends on everyone's input...^_^

I've included the book club number in the introduction; feel free to join if you're interested.

Chapter 65 Annihilation of All Directions, Devouring Heaven and Earth

After playing with the kitten for a while, Jiang Jing remembered that he had also gained something today, so he took out the concept core from the small box behind the door.

Earlier, while taking a shower, he casually tossed the concept core into the junk box.

"Kōta, what is that?" Sitting in her chair, Shiina Mashiro, whose mind had calmed down, looked curiously at the dark crystal in Jiang Jing's hand.

"These are souvenirs given out at today's club activity; every club member gets one," Jiang Jing said with a smile, sitting on the floor and leaning against the edge of the bed.

“This thing looks like crystal, but it can actually be molded into any shape you want. It’s very interesting, look.” As he spoke, Jiang Jing’s fingers deftly moved across the core of the concept.

Gradually, a small, slender, dark, and transparent straight knife, about ten centimeters long, appeared in Jiang Jing's hand. It was so lifelike, just like a real, unopened sword, with a blade as straight as a Tang dynasty sword.

However, out of Shiina Mashiro's sight, Jiang Jingjing's spiritual power probed into the core of the concept, setting up arrays and restrictions to fix the form of the divine crystal.

Shiina Mashiro looked curiously at the toy knife that was taking shape in Jiang Jing's hand: "Sorata, can I take a look?"

"Give."

After receiving the dark crystal toy knife, Shiina Mashiro held it up to her eyes and looked at it again and again, even squeezing it with her hands.

The cold, hard feeling in her hand piqued her curiosity. She had personally witnessed Jiang Jing slowly shaping it into a small knife, so why was it so hard now?

"It seems that this can only be shaped once. After you shape it into the desired form, the internal material will begin to harden and solidify."

"That's amazing?"

However, after taking a couple of glances, Shiina Mashiro lost interest upon finding the knife to be hard and uninteresting, and returned it to Jiang Jing.

"Yes, it's quite interesting." Jiang Jing smiled and took the knife.

In Jiang Jing's opinion, Rias and the others used these special refining materials in a very crude way, and he looked down on the armor, weapon, and artifact forms that came with the core.
