I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

He is now incredibly powerful in combat.

To give an example, if his previous combat power was 10, upgrading [Twin] would increase it by 1, while upgrading [Shadow Flame] would directly increase it by 5, so he would definitely choose to upgrade Shadow Flame.

Currently, his combat power is 100, so upgrading other divine skills to increase his combat power by 3 or 4 points is not crucial.

On the contrary, for the [Twins], upgrading at this time actually brings greater benefits.

The most important thing is the twins' passive ability, the resurrection effect.

Each level up reduces the cooldown by 10 days, and this effect becomes more and more pronounced as you progress.

The current Lv5 has a 50-day cooldown, which doesn't seem very good. Lv6 has a 40-day cooldown, which also doesn't seem very good.

Even after twenty days at Lv8, it still felt ordinary.

But after ten days at Lv9... things felt a little different.

A perfect resurrection at full health once every ten days is already quite cheating.

If we take it a step further, Lv10... wouldn't that be a one-step solution with unlimited resurrections?

Although Xue Jing felt that he probably wouldn't cheat like that, a CD of less than ten days was already extremely favorable to him.

He has many ways to protect himself now; his only fear is being guarded by his corpse.

If the cooldown of Twins is reduced to less than ten days, then even if he is endlessly hunted down and his corpse is guarded, he can still find ways to get through the ten-day cooldown period and thus achieve a certain degree of immortality with infinite resurrection.

Therefore, focusing on upgrading [Twins] is the best option for him at present!

"That's not all, and this is only considering the [Twin] passive ability..."

Xue Jing pondered.

Even disregarding the passive effect of resurrection, the Twin Upgrade significantly enhances his strength.

First, the upgrade increases his mana bar, allowing his various [Twin Power], [Twin Speed], and [Twin Defense] effects to last longer.

Even without mentioning the mana bar, there are currently many physical ability options that can significantly boost his strength once activated.

"After learning [Seamless], my 'computing power' has been greatly improved. After activation, it allows me to calculate more guns... It is also necessary to use computing power to control multiple flying swords in a multi-threaded manner and to perform different martial arts with different flying swords at the same time."

“‘Concentration’ is also a good option… ‘Reaction speed’ is also an option.”

"Perception ability is also very important. There is no limit to the distance at which I can control the 'feathered objects'; it only depends on how far I can perceive them."

After careful consideration, Xue Jing realized that many of the options in the Twin Active Effects were very helpful to him.

This is also the result of his overall strength improving to a certain level.

"It's a pity that the active effect of [Twin] only enhances physical abilities, not mental abilities."

Xue Jing felt somewhat regretful.

'Wisdom' is a mental ability, which is a person's consciousness structure. It determines whether a person's thinking pattern is meticulous, whether they often have ingenious ideas, etc., and has nothing to do with the physical body itself.

While brain functions such as 'computational ability,' 'concentration,' and 'memory' are related to intelligence to some extent, they are not intelligence itself.

The transformation of wisdom also involves some concepts of the 'id', such as empathy, willpower, and mental maturity. These are all part of wisdom, but if these are improved or changed, it means that a person's 'id' has changed.

At that time, whether 'I' will still be 'me' is uncertain.

It's natural for human wisdom to grow and change with one's experiences... but if a skill suddenly doubles in value, causing a drastic change in one's consciousness, that's not a good feeling.

Thinking about it this way, the fact that the active effects of [Twins] don't include the 'Wisdom' option might actually be a good thing.

Shaking his head to clear his mind of the random thoughts, Xue Jing clicked on the upgrade button on [Twins].

【Twins Lv6 (Divinity required for upgrade: 6470/2000)】

【Twins Lv7 (Divinity required for upgrade: 4470/3000)】

【Twins Lv8 (Divinity required for upgrade: 1470/4500)】

The wife, who had endured hardship together, finally received Xue Jing's favor after a long absence, and the favor was so great that she was promoted three ranks.

He glanced at the details of the [Twins] at this moment.

[Passive: Possesses two lives; after death, can freely choose a resurrection time within seven days. Cooldown: 20 days (after cooldown complete)]

[Active: Each level 1 allows you to designate one ability related to your own physical body, which will have double the effect when used]

[Currently activated: Physical strength, movement speed, physical defense, instinctive instincts, flexibility]

[Currently available options: ...]

After leveling up three times, the passive cooldown time was reduced by thirty days, directly overriding the cooldown from when Xue Jing died once, and the resurrection ability returned!

Unconsciously, the heavy stone that had been pressing on Xue Jing's mind, forcing him to be cautious, was lifted, and he felt much lighter all over.

It's so great to be able to revive; I can finally go wild again...

The next step is to choose the active effects.

After pondering for a while, Xue Jing chose three of the options.

[Concentration], [Calculation ability], [Reaction speed].

Of course, reaction speed is a significant factor, directly boosting his physical combat strength and proving extremely useful.

Computational ability and concentration have many applications in various fields, but we will leave them aside for now.

Xue Jing picked up the unsharpened blade from the table, gently stroked its scabbard, and said in a low voice:

"We do need to give you a name... 'Unsharpened Blade' isn't very convenient to call you."

With a 'click', he pulled the knife out slightly, revealing a section of the blade that was as bright as a mirror.

After thinking for a moment, Xue Jing said:

"The blade is bright and clean, untouched by dirt. Therefore, I shall call you 'Shining Night'."

Sheathing the Zhaoye Blade and holding it in his hand, Xue Jing walked out of the lounge.

He was going to do a post-match interview... He didn't want to go at first, but the organizers pleaded with him for a long time, saying that it was a must according to custom.

Xue Jing thought for a moment, and since there had already been a pre-match interview before the start of the competition, he figured he might as well finish it, so he agreed.

He wasn't in a hurry; he simply strolled to the studio.

Along the way, everyone who encountered Xue Jing, including his staff, contestants, and support personnel, would stop and greet him with either respect or caution.

Xue Jing smiled and nodded in response to each one. Unlike his arrogant attitude on the ring, his easygoing demeanor surprised many people.

Soon, Xue Jing arrived at the studio entrance.

Just as he was about to push the door open and go in, the door was opened from the inside.

Inside was someone Xue Jing didn't really want to see for the time being.

"Lusang."

Xue Jing touched his nose and looked at Otogisuka, who was wrapped in bandages and looked quite seriously injured.

He looked very weak, his lips were bloodless and his face was pale, but his posture was still elegant and his beauty was not diminished at all. On the contrary, he had a more delicate beauty like Xi Shi than usual.

She looks more like a woman now.

"Xue-kun." As always, her voice was gentle and cheerful. When Otogi Suzuka saw Xue Jing, she seemed to be in a very good mood, her eyes curving into beautiful crescent shapes.

Then, his gaze fell on the old longsword in Xue Jing's hand.

"The Suzao Pill has ended up in your hands. No wonder I couldn't find it in the lounge earlier."

Oka Suzuka said.

"It seems I not only lost to Xue Jun physically, but I also willingly and completely surrendered in my heart... As expected of the man I have my eye on, this is the first time something like this has ever happened."

Xue Jing said helplessly, "It's been renamed 'Zhaoye' now... Lu Sang, stop saying things that are easy to misunderstand."

Otogi Suzuka covered her mouth and chuckled softly:

"Perhaps there's no misunderstanding?"

Xue Jing shook his head and said, "You're not really planning to win against me this way, are you? I advise you not to. I'm the type who goes even harder when I'm on edge."

Otogi Suzuka sighed, "Xue-kun, are you really that concerned about same-sex repulsion? Then I'll just get surgery; it's not that difficult anyway..."

Xue Jing waved his hand: "Don't be like that. Compared to the physical thing, I care more about the difference in the soul. A man is a man, and a woman is a woman. The body is just a form; ideology is the key."

"Of course, I care about physical health too..."

As he spoke, he quickly walked past Otogisuka and entered the studio, not daring to talk much with this person.

What Xue Jing didn't notice was that Otogisuka stood there stunned for a long time after hearing those words.

Then, he turned to look at Xue Jing's back, his eyes gentle and tender.

"Mr. Xue..."

Otogi Suzuka whispered in a voice only she could hear.

The voice was no longer a neutral tone that was neither male nor female, but a clear and melodious girl's voice.

Chapter 272 Arrogant Remarks in an Interview: Within Six Years, Seven Crowns Forever, the Pinnacle of Old Martial Arts! (4K)

In the interview room, Xue Jing sat in a chair with a long table in front of him, with a microphone on it, against a blue curtain that read "The 37th U19 Unrestricted Elite Fighting Tournament Finals".

Unlike the previous official pre-match interviews for the U19 team, this was a public post-match interview after winning the championship. Dozens of reporters from various media outlets had crowded into the interview room, and camera flashes were constantly clicking.

This kind of occasion is much more serious than pre-match interviews, since it will be reported to the general public by many media outlets, unlike pre-match interviews which are only seen by the audience of the U19 match.

Ideally, the player's manager and support team would also be interviewed simultaneously, as a measure to prevent the player from making any inappropriate remarks...

However, Xue Jing himself is an exception among exceptions. The Galaxy Martial Arts Club, which he signed with, is actually a business owned by Youqing A Meng's family, and they were specifically instructed not to interfere with him.

Therefore, he not only has no team, but also only one agent, Jiang Siwei, who can't control him at all...

The end result was that, even in such a serious setting, he was interviewed alone.

The numerous reporters present were extremely excited upon seeing this, gripping their cameras and microphones tightly.

They all knew very well that the person in front of them was someone who would never say anything less than outrageous. If they guided him a little when asking questions, letting him speak freely and come up with some brilliant ideas, then once he wrote the headline and published the news, the buzz would skyrocket.
