I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow.

"With the enhancement of Dragon Qi, the attack power has increased by about one-fourth compared to the pure physical body... Not bad,"

After experimenting for a while and obtaining specific data, Xue Jing entered Consciousness Simulation and, after a long time testing, gained a deeper understanding of the use of Dragon Qi.

In this manner, the day quickly passed by.

...

The next morning, as soon as Xue Jing woke up, he checked his Life Force.

The Life Fire burning quietly throughout his body, though still rather vigorous, seemed somewhat diminished compared to its pristine state.

"This method of prematurely using Life Force to heal injuries for training should not be used too often,"

he pondered.

Yesterday, to raise Hidden Dragon Vigor to Lv7, he tapped into his Life Force three times in a row. Fortunately, his constitution was so strong that there were no significant effects.

If an ordinary Martial Artist were to use his method, it's likely they would shorten their lifespan.

Of course, an ordinary Martial Artist also wouldn't be able to manipulate Life Force like he could.

Getting up, brushing teeth, washing face.

Xue Jing looked at his teeth in the mirror as he opened his mouth.

White, neat, resembling jade, exhibiting a sense of extreme toughness.

Although his original teeth were also nice, they had suffered wear and slight misalignment during growth, not perfect.

But with Charm Art reaching Lv10 and the prolonged practice of 'Bone Training,' his teeth became flawless, even the gaps were extremely tight.

However, these two perfect rows of teeth would eventually have to be replaced.

When he would leap through the Dragon Gate, his body would be reborn, and his teeth would fall out to regrow, flat and white as snow—forty in total.

This would be one of the symbols of transcending to 'Eternal Immortal' 'Instantaneous Buddha': 'Forty Teeth Phenomenon.'

"Buzz—"

The phone vibrated.

Xue Jing took the phone out of his pocket and glanced at the screen.

It was a call from Captain Void Blade.

He pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Captain Void Blade," Xue Jing spoke.

The mature and calm voice of Void Blade came through the earpiece: "Xue Jing, when will your competition end?"

Xue Jing thought for a moment and replied,

"The match starts at four in the afternoon, I'm in the third round, so it should be over by five."

Void Blade said, "Alright, I'll come to pick you up at five."

Xue Jing didn't ask how, with what, or where to wait... Since Void Blade hadn't specified, it meant that he didn't need to know.

When it was five in the afternoon, he would naturally understand.

After hanging up the phone, Xue Jing walked out of the bathroom.

On the living room sofa, Ning Fengwan, in her cat-eared girl form, was lying on it, head resting on the armrest.

Her black hair, like a waterfall, cascaded down; the girl's sleeping position was slightly indecent, her right leg curled up, causing her round and full behind, high and taut like a full moon, to be lifted.

The silk pajama pants were stretched tight, outlining the shape of the underwear on the ample full moon.

On seeing this, Xue Jing's eyebrows twitched, and he felt a sudden itch in his hands.

It would be too uncomfortable not to give it a smack in this pose.

This was what Xue Jing thought, and he acted on it.

"Smack!"

His palm struck the full moon, causing a slight tremble, as if jelly were bouncing.

Ning Fengwan woke up instantly, her deathly gaze devoid of emotion fixed on Xue Jing as she said expressionlessly,

"What are you doing?"

Xue Jing was about to make some cheeky remarks, but when he saw the 'Serpent Slayer Spearhead' already flicking out from the girl's fingertips, he immediately knelt down, placed his hands on his knees, bowed his head, and sincerely apologized:

"My bad, couldn't help myself."

Ning Fengwan sat up, crossed her arms over her chest, and stacked her long legs atop one another, adopting a queenly posture. Her bare, unadorned exquisite feet swayed up and down, more tempting than ice cream.

She looked down at Xue Jing and huffed lightly,

"Turn around and stick your butt out."

Xue Jing: "Huh?"

Ning Fengwan looked at him with a meaningful gaze, "I want you to experience it firsthand."

Xue Jing touched his chin, "Is there no room for negotiation?"

"No room for negotiation."

Xue Jing pondered for a moment, then reluctantly turned his back.

"Smack!!"

...

At noon.

Xue Jing went to the bathroom to take a shower.

He didn't bring a towel, and after showering, he pumped his Power, vibrating all the water vapor off his body, then flicked his hair, sending Power to the tips, effectively drying it as well.

After getting dressed and walking out of the bathroom, he looked at Ning Fengwan, who was playing with her phone, and after some thought, he said,

"By the way, Teacher Wan, is there a way for you to get your 'Serpent Slayer Spearhead' for me to use?"

He had originally planned to go to the 'Roaring Waterfall' at the Intersecting Boundaries with Ning Fengwan... After all, there was a Dragon Breed there, and the Serpent Slayer Spearhead had a special effect against all snakes and Dragon Breeds.

But Ning Fengwan didn't meet the entry conditions for the Intersecting Boundaries.

First was the issue of age; Ning Fengwan was older than him, surpassing the limit of 6313 days.

Secondly, she wasn't considered a 'Natural Person' anymore, having been seasoned by the Cat Goddess Bastet; she was somewhat tainted with contamination and mutation.

The only option was to see if the Serpent Slayer Spearhead could be brought in.

Ning Fengwan curled her lips, "Do you think this is Sharingan, plug and play?"

Then she pondered for a moment and said, "However, it seems not entirely impossible."

Xue Jing, "Oh?"

Ning Fengwan stretched out her palm, flexing her five fingers and flicking out sharp silver-white claws.

After that, she looked serious and bit down on her silver teeth, her palm trembling.

Soon, her forehead was covered with tiny glistening beads of sweat, and her 'Serpent Slayer Spearhead' started to make soft creaking noises.

Under Xue Jing's astonished gaze, the five claws gradually extended, extended, until finally... they fell from Ning Fengwan's fingertips, landing on the table.

The tips of her fingers were left with five holes, which quickly healed over.

Ning Fengwan's face showed weakness, covered in a sheen of sweat, and she said while gasping for breath,

"I've overdrawn my power to forcibly squeeze out the Serpent Slayer Spearhead."

"These five claws are filled with 'Serpent-Slaying Power'. Although it will diminish over time, they should be good for about a month..."

Xue Jing fell silent for a moment and asked, "What's the cost?"

A smile emerged on Ning Fengwan's weakened face, "You don't have to be so serious, it's just that I won't be able to use this power for a while, it's not a serious cost."

"To give you an extra layer of security in the Intersecting Boundaries, you could say it's a big win."

She said in a light tone.

Xue Jing reached out and gently touched her head, saying softly,

"You've worked hard."

Ning Fengwan said in a low voice,

"The one who's going to work hard is you."

Xue Jing smiled, said nothing more, and stored the five silver-white claws in his chest, carefully putting them away.

...

In the afternoon, a little past two o'clock, Xue Jing delivered Ning Fengwan, who had transformed into her Miao Miao form, to his sister Xue Wan.

Then, he took the Crouching Rabbit Sword and got into the car that Jiang Siwei came to pick him up in, and along with Yin Muhu, headed back to the Maple City sports arena.

"Today's tickets sold out."

In the waiting room for the competitors, Yin Muhu said.

"It's rare for U19 regional knockout games to have such a turnout, over twenty-thousand tickets are all sold out, and there are even scalper tickets."

Jiang Siwei looked toward Xue Jing, who was sitting in a chair, and teased,

"I bet the U19 officials can't wait to worship you on the spot, Little Jing."

She knew too well why the tickets had sold out.

The craze was all sparked by Xue Jing's iconic smile at the camera.

"That's good, the more people, the merrier," Xue Jing said nonchalantly.

"Good afternoon, audience friends, welcome to the U19 Maple City knockout rounds. After a day of rest, we will have the top sixteen to top eight matches, and today we can also see eight exciting battles!"

The voice of the commentator resounded through the arena.

"We can see that there are a lot of viewers in attendance today, and we are very glad that our U19 has received so much attention. In today's competition, not only will the much-anticipated competitor Xue Jing take the stage, but there are also many outstanding young talents..."
