I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

During this period, there were more than thirty people... and nearly ten of them were surnamed Wu.

Within this unimaginably enormous family, Wu Youqing holds an extremely special position...

Xu Mude's expression was uncertain.

Among the thirteen powerful families today, let alone a junior like him who has little say, even the top leaders of the direct line would never want to offend Miss Wu unless absolutely necessary.

Is there really no other way?

"……I see."

Xu Mude took a deep breath and slowly spoke.

"I apologize for the intrusion, Brother Xue."

"I shall take my leave now."

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xue Jing.

Xue Jing's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "I should be apologizing to you, Mr. Xu, for making you come all this way for nothing."

After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Mude opened the door to the lounge with heavy steps and left with a group of his men.

Inside the room, Xue Jing looked thoughtful, somewhat surprised.

Although he had considered blaming Youqing Buddha and using her influence to resolve the matter, he did not expect the solution to be so straightforward.

Upon hearing that Wu Youqing wanted the Primordial Wind of All Things, Xu Mude immediately gave up, as if he could see no hope at all.

It seems that Young Haru A-Meng's status in the world is probably much higher than he imagined...

Xue Jing shook his head.

"In any case, this way, the matter is basically all resolved."

The purpose of this trip to the city of Origin is to win the U19 championship, seize the Unsharpened Blade from Suzuka Otogi, steal the Primordial Wind of All Things, and even gain an extra one.

All tasks were completed successfully, or even exceeded expectations.

congratulations.

But at the same time, many more issues need to be addressed.

Dragon Cult, Secret Martial Arts Society, Bamboo Clan, Kangde Security, Wan Yulai... and the upcoming National Martial Arts Examination, for which he has already agreed to serve as an examiner.

There's not much time to rest; I'll be busy again soon.

Xue Jing opened the panel and took a look.

[Participated in U19, swept all the way to win the championship, Zhenwu experience points +6960 (maxed)]

[…Visualization - True Experience Points +7571]

[…Soldier Master's experience points +5322 (Max)]

[Participating in U19, your performances in the ring have been highly praised by the audience, earning you +7325 acting experience points.]

……

[Visualization - True Upgrade to Lv10 (2368/16000)]

[Acting skills improved to Lv9 (4689/8000)]

The gains were enormous. I never expected that participating in U19 would be listed as a major event on the panel, and I received a huge amount of experience points after completing it.

Unfortunately, most of the regular skills have now reached their limit and are waiting to be upgraded, otherwise the rewards would be even more substantial.

It seems that participating in competitions will be an important way to gain experience points...

……

Chapter 271 The Twins Finally Gain Favor, Otogi Suzuka: I'll Just Have an Surgery (4K)

Xue Jing's gaze then turned to the Divinity section.

[Possessing Divinity: 9670]

With his previous gains from Xu's Biotechnology, plus what he just obtained from the [Unsharpened Blade], his divine power is once again approaching ten thousand.

It's time to make a purchase, otherwise I'll always feel itchy inside.

"Then first..."

Xue Jing clicked on [True Martial Arts].

【True Martial Arts Lv2 (Transcendent)】

[Upgrade Requirements: 20000/20000 Experience Points, 9670/1000 Divinity]

Without hesitation, he pressed the upgrade button.

【True Martial Arts Lv3 (Transcendent)】

[Upgrade Requirements: 0/40000 Experience Points, 8670/2000 Divinity]

Before he could even feel the changes in his body, Xue Jing was stunned by the requirements for upgrading to True Martial Lv3.

"Hmm? The required amount of divinity for the upgrade has increased?"

Previously, whether it was ascension or going from Lv1 to Lv2, or Lv2 to Lv3, it only required 1000 points of divinity, which made him think that no matter how many levels he leveled up, it would only require 1000 points...

I never expected to find him waiting here.

"The divinity required to upgrade from Lv3 to Lv4 has increased by a thousand... It seems that this is not what I expected. The experience requirement has also doubled."

Xue Jing pondered, somewhat puzzled.

"I was too optimistic before. The divine gap is much larger than I imagined."

He shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about the divine deficiency and leave those worries to himself in the future.

Xue Jing continued to flip through the panel.

【War Master Lv1 (Transcendent)】

[Upgrade Requirements: 10000/10000 Experience Points, 8670/1000 Divinity]

Click Upgrade.

【War Master Lv2 (Transcendent)】

[Upgrade Requirements: 0/20000 Experience Points, 7670/1000 Divinity]

These extraordinary skills are all quite useful and directly relate to his basic combat strength. As long as he has enough divinity, he should definitely upgrade them.

After leveling up, Xue Jing clenched his fists, sensing the changes in his body.

Regarding the [True Martial Arts] skill, similar to the experience of upgrading from Lv1 to Lv2, the power generated is significantly stronger, and the control over the body is more refined and effortless.

The overall increase in combat power remains to be tested.

As for the [Master of Soldiers]...

Xue Jing's mind raced.

The flowing white-gold color gradually covered his entire body, as if coating his skin with a metallic film, making him look like a robot made of metal.

"The weapon enhancement effect of [Warlord] has a 'quantity' limit, so the larger the coverage area, the weaker the effect..."

Xue Jing took a moment to process it.

"After upgrading to Lv2, the 'quantity' is about half more than it was at Lv1, reaching 1.5 times the previous amount, which is good."

He nodded.

This also means that when he only uses it to enhance his weapon, the enhancement effect on the weapon is 1.5 times that at Lv1.

This is a significant improvement, especially for someone who possesses 'feathering' and can remotely control weapons in combat.

"We'll test the specifics later, next..."

Xue Jing looked at the Divine Skills panel.

【Twins Lv5】

【Shadowflame Lv10】

【Planting Contract Lv6】

【Dragon Horn Lv5】

[Ascension Lv5]

"Currently, the five divine skills... Shadow Flame is more than enough for now, and Divine Avatar is also activated. Adding more would require too much divinity per level, and although the improvement would be greater, the cost-effectiveness would not be very high."

"The best approach is still the same as before: focus on one thing first, level it up to Lv10, and then create a divine incarnation."

Which one should we add first?

Xue Jing looked thoughtful.

"Hmm... First, let's rule out [Plant Contract]. There are no more powerful plant seeds to contract with right now. Dragon Cherry is enough. Upgrading it will only strengthen Dragon Cherry, so the benefits are not significant."

"As for the [Dragon Horn] skill... after you achieve Ascension, its use for flight is gone. What remains is the power of Dragon Thunder and the effect of applying gravity... You can upgrade it by one level, since it's used during martial arts training, but it shouldn't be your primary skill point allocation goal."

All that's left are [Twins] and [Ascension]...

"Upgrading to [Ascension] is currently the option that provides the highest direct boost to strength."

"It can increase the blue bar, control more 'feathered creatures,' and directly enhance the flight speed and lethality of the 'feathered creatures'..."

For Xue Jing, who has mastered the 'Great Ascension Flying Sword', upgrading to Feathered Ascension significantly improves his strength, at least in terms of ranged combat.

"And as for [Twins]..."

Xue Jing looked at the divine skill that he had initially activated.

He has a special affection for this skill that first helped him overcome many difficulties, and even now, [Twin] still plays a vital role, greatly enhancing his combat power.

However, due to the special upgrade mechanism of [Twins], each level up activates a double ability related to one's own body... He has already activated all of the most effective and obvious ones.

The remaining options didn't offer a significant boost compared to other divine skills that directly increased combat power, so Xue Jing put the upgrade of [Twins] on hold for a long time.

"However, the situation is different now."

Xue Jing muttered to himself.
