Because he was behind the boy and his view was partially blocked, Xue Jing did not see the entire article.
However, he was quite sensitive to the word 'divinity'. When he saw the words 'divine factor' in the article, he immediately took note of it and remembered it.
Whether this 'divine factor' truly refers to the divinity shown on the panel or is just a coincidence of names, he decided to investigate it when he got back.
As for how to conduct the investigation... he naturally has the connections.
You'll know once you see it, Youqing.
Xue Jing waited quietly for the right opportunity.
After a short while, the boy seemed to have been watching for too long and instinctively changed his posture, turning his head to the other side.
On this side, his field of vision suddenly shifted away from the primordial wind of all things.
Xue Jing had been waiting for this moment. Without the slightest hesitation, he controlled the non-existent beast, and with an invisible mouth, it swallowed the pale red wind ball.
Get it!
Without pausing, he struck and fled a thousand miles away, quickly moving towards the corner of the wall. Then, he condensed black flames, which the non-existent beast swallowed, crossed the enclosed wall, and spat them out from the outside. A shadow leaped out, and he slipped out of the laboratory.
Inside, the boy didn't notice that something was suddenly missing from his side.
A dozen minutes later, he casually changed his posture again, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the platform that should have contained the primordial wind of all things.
"Ok?"
He paused for a moment, straightened up, rubbed his eyes, and took another look.
"No...it's gone!?"
Panic-stricken shouts echoed through the laboratory, waking the goat-eyed woman.
"What's wrong?" she asked, frowning.
The boy lifted the transparent cover on the platform, scanning every inch of it with his eyes, but found not a single trace. He exclaimed in alarm:
"Sister Kui, the primordial wind of all things has disappeared!"
"Calm down." His horizontally shaped pupils revealed a sharpness.
"Nothing happened, nothing unusual, not a sound at all... they just suddenly disappeared?"
she asked.
The boy thought about it carefully, nodded, and said, "Yes."
Sister Kui pondered for a moment and said, "It's not your responsibility... This should be because it triggered the 'transferability' of the divine relic."
"In any case, let's sound the alarm first. Although it's highly likely that the divine relic moved on its own, we still have to make a show for Xu Mude."
The boy nodded quickly and said, "Yes!"
Sister Kui sighed, "Without the Primordial Wind of All Things, it would be terrible if the 'Gods' went berserk. These first batch of 'Gods' would probably have to be thrown into the trash heap..."
……
"Om-"
The alarm blared throughout the hundreds of floors of Xu's Biotechnology Company, and countless company members, whether awake or asleep, hurriedly began to take action.
Xue Jing became a shadow, moving downwards and avoiding everyone's gaze, relentlessly advancing towards the gate of Xu's Biotechnology Company.
He originally planned to use the non-existent beast and shadow jump to quickly descend the floors and leave.
However, Shadowflame's mana is not plentiful right now. Shadow Jump consumes a lot of mana, and it takes nearly a hundred consecutive jumps to go from floor 1097 to floor 1002, which is too much for his mana.
The outer walls of the skyscraper center are frighteningly thick, exceeding six meters, making it impossible for the Beast of No Existence to jump directly outside.
Therefore, they could only escape by sneaking away slowly.
Fortunately, after visiting twice, he had completely constructed a model of Xu's Biotechnology Company in his mind, and he was as familiar with the company as if it were his own home.
Even with the company teeming with people, Xue Jing could easily find a secluded corner to slip away unnoticed.
About an hour later, he successfully arrived at the gate of Xu's Biotechnology and squeezed through the gap in the gate.
It was 5:30.
As dawn broke, Xue Jing did not linger. As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he used his Shadow Form to stick to the outer wall of the skyscraper center and moved downwards, avoiding the flying vehicles floating around him along the way.
Nearly an hour later, he reached the ground.
The morning sun had already shone down, and the sky was bright, but since most people coming and going to the skyscraper center were by air vehicles, and hardly anyone drove there, no one on the ground paid any attention to it.
Xue Jing remained in his shadow form and stealthily made his way into a hidden forest.
Only then did his body slowly emerge from the shadows.
"Huh...done."
Xue Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they successfully stole the 'Wind of the Beginning of All Things', the process was still quite thrilling.
After Xu's Biotechnology sounded the alarm, several people whom Xue Jing immediately recognized as difficult to deal with were searching around, and it was not easy to avoid their sight.
But fortunately it was successful.
He snapped his fingers, and a rift opened in the void beside him, releasing a pale red wisp of wind, which he caught in his hand.
[Divine matter detected; absorbing divinity...]
"The primordial wind of all things... now there are two."
Xue Jing stretched out his other hand, causing the non-existent beast to spit out the pale blue wind ball as well.
He wields a green wind in one hand and a red wind in the other, like a superpowered individual.
He had a sudden inspiration and tried to apply 'feathering' to the two wisps of wind in his hand.
Then... there was no reaction.
Xue Jing looked thoughtful.
"The fact that the Forgotten Greatsword can be ascended proves that divine relics themselves can ascend, but these two wisps of the Primordial Wind cannot... probably because they do not meet the conditions for ascension."
"It has to be something that 'belongs to me'... Hey, what I, the Saint of Thieves, stole or robbed with my own skills, how can it not be mine?"
Xue Jing pouted, clearly dissatisfied.
He shook his head.
"Never mind, it doesn't matter anyway. It was originally a gift for Haru A-Meng... Let's go back first."
Xue Jing took a step and leaped across the tree branches in the forest, heading towards Yuan City.
On the way, he successfully absorbed all the newly acquired pale red Primordial Wind Divinity, gaining 1326 points of divinity.
Including what he already had, he now has a total of 9024 points of divinity, a truly great gain.
Without any unexpected incidents, Xue Jing quickly returned to Yuancheng, once again avoiding surveillance and passersby, and secretly made his way back to the villa at the Zhige base.
From beginning to end, no one noticed him; it was as if he had been sleeping in the room the whole time and had never left.
The intense mental concentration throughout the night left Xue Jing feeling exhausted.
However, having completed the task assigned by Wu Youqing, I felt relieved and quite happy.
I opened the panel and looked at it. I need to plan how to spend the nine thousand points of divinity.
However, Xue Jing didn't want to think about these things for the time being. He walked out of the room and downstairs, where he saw the little maid Yun Qin sitting at the dining table, holding a cat in her arms and feeding her with chopsticks.
Hearing Xue Jing come downstairs, the cat turned to look at him, took another bite of the vegetable Yun Qin fed it, and said in a muffled voice, "Ni Hu Nai La (You're back)."
"My Lord, it seems like all you do lately is eat and sleep."
Xue Jing raised an eyebrow and said.
I don't know if it's because rescuing Yunqin has relaxed the cat's tense nerves, and now that all the housework can be handled by the little maid, and she doesn't even have to cook for herself but is fed by hand, she is showing signs of being completely spoiled.
"Ok?"
The cat nodded in confusion.
"But...aren't pets like that?"
She said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world, shamelessly admitting her precise location at home.
Xue Jing's lips twitched: "Yunqin, let her eat by herself. Don't spoil her like this, or she'll be ruined."
Yunqin's chopsticks, holding a piece of food, stopped in mid-air. She looked at Xue Jing, then at the cat in her arms, her round little face full of innocence.
She scratched her head and mumbled sheepishly, "Master...Master..."
Cat rolled her eyes at Xue Jing, stood up, stretched, and jumped onto the dining table with a thud that sounded rather deep.
Xue Jing's eyes flashed: "Hmm? You've gained weight?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of nervousness appeared in the cat's emerald-like pupils: "How...how could this be?"
Xue Jing stroked his chin: "Turn back into human form and let me see."
Cat hesitated for a moment, but then a white-gold light flashed and she transformed into human form. Her long, smooth hair, like a black waterfall, cascaded down her back. On her extremely beautiful face, a pair of strong phoenix eyes revealed a hint of nervousness.
Her body, completely naked, was slim where it should be and curvy where it should be. Evolved from the Asian Cup, the European Cup was quite eye-catching. Above her pert buttocks, her fluffy tail swayed back and forth.
Xue Jing was already used to this beautiful scenery, but he still couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "It's truly a work of art..."
However, he remained expressionless, only shaking his head and sighing regretfully.
A woman dresses up for the man she loves, and seeing him like this, Ning Fengwan panicked.
She reached out to cover her private parts, and said in a pitiful voice, "Ah Jing... say something."
"Have I gained weight...?"
"It's good to be chubby..." Xue Jing thought to himself, but smiled nonchalantly and said, "You have gained a little weight."
"What should we do then?" Ning Fengwan asked anxiously.
She reached out and touched her lower abdomen. For some reason, it seemed to have lost its elasticity and become much softer.
Xue Jing said, "You and Yunqin can practice martial arts together. It will be very helpful for maintaining your figure."
Coincidentally, although the main purpose is to help Ning Fengwan get rid of her useless state, it also allows me to gain some experience in the [teaching] section.
