I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"Otherwise... the impact might not be good."

Some sharp-eared reporters below, upon hearing this, instinctively protected their cameras... Such an explosive statement is bound to generate a lot of buzz; it would be such a shame to cut it out.

Some quick-thinking individuals have already begun removing the memory cards from their cameras and inserting them into their private parts where they are less likely to be searched...

Xue Jing waved to the staff and casually said:

"It's alright. What's said is said, and there's no going back."

"If I can't do what I say I will, then laugh at me all you want, it's no big deal."

The staff member was sweating profusely: "This..."

He was in a difficult position, but since Xue Jing himself had said so, he couldn't stop him anymore.

I could only sigh and say no more.

The reporters below immediately became excited.

No longer caring about the order of questions, everyone started speaking eagerly.

"Xue Jing, does that mean you plan to participate in all the 'minor title matches' next year, aiming directly for the special title 'champion'?"

"Xue Jing, are you serious about making the decision to win seven eternal championships within six years?"

"Xue Jing, there are rumors that 'Lu Baidi' and 'Wu Qiangsheng' who appeared in Yuancheng before came for you. Is that true?"

"Contestant Xue Jing..."

……

After the interview, all the reporters left in a hurry, their faces still showing lingering excitement.

Xue Jing tapped the table, slowly stood up, and walked out of the interview room.

In this interview, he continued his previous approach, saying whatever came to mind without any pretense of modesty.

In six years, he will win seven eternal championships—that is his projected plan for himself.

This is his conclusion after careful consideration, and it is by no means a mindless statement made to show off or pretend to be something he's not.

As he develops his panel skills, his strength grows at a rate that follows a snowball effect, accelerating with each new development.

The strength gained in the past month is several times that of the past three months.

Especially after his regular skills were upgraded to extraordinary skills... the single skill [True Martial] alone benefited him immensely, accelerating his martial arts strength by an immeasurable amount.

As time went on, and he gained more and more divinity, his extraordinary skill levels rose higher and higher...

Winning the special title 'Champion' a year later and qualifying for the title battle is not just a fantasy.

And if you win all seven titles in a year, then the remaining four years to obtain the 'eternal' title will be just a waste of time.

His growth rate is absolutely unmatched.

If no one can beat him this year, no one will be able to beat him next year either.

To win seven world championships in six years seems impossible, but in reality, it's quite feasible for him; he can start with the difficult part and then move on to the easier one.

"So be it."

Lost in thought, Xue Jing left the interview room and walked towards the studio door.

Chapter 273 A Beauty Who Brings Disaster to the Country and the People, the Power of an Unsharpened Blade (4K)

When Xue Jing returned to the Zhige base, it was already dark.

After the post-match interview, he and Jiang Siwei planned to have a celebration dinner. They invited Ning Yuantai, who was acting as their driver, and then they ran into Wei Junwu on their way out. Wei Junwu shamelessly followed them, along with Song Nanxing who was with him.

The group went to a well-known upscale restaurant in Yuancheng and had an expensive meal.

Xue Jing finally got to eat the 'Flame Crab' that the mandrill had mentioned once before and that he had been remembering ever since.

The flesh is naturally cooked through, and you can eat it as soon as you peel off the shell. This creature, which seems to have been born to be eaten, is indeed an extremely rare delicacy.

Xue Jing and his fellow martial arts masters had an enormous appetite, eating dozens of them in a row and nearly emptying the restaurant's inventory.

Unfortunately, it seems to be due to the wrong season, and Xue Jing was unable to purchase the 'Flame Crab King' after inquiring.

It is said that only one Flame Crab King is found among 100,000 Flame Crabs, and its deliciousness is said to be among the top three in the world, even striving for first place.

With the hype already at this level, Xue Jing felt that he was rich and powerful enough to get close to people with his wealth. Even if this was a scam, he wouldn't mind spending a million or so to try it out. Unfortunately, there was no stock available at the moment.

In that case, we'll have to talk about it another time.

During the meal, Xue Jing casually inquired about the person behind the scenes from Wei Junwu's perspective.

The person who gave him the Forgotten Greatsword and arranged for Wei Junwu to deliberately spread the news that Zhou Yinglin planned to kill him in the arena...

Although Xue Jing had roughly guessed that the other party's identity was related to Senior Sister Zhu, he still didn't understand who exactly she was or why she was helping him.

"...Old Xue, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I really don't dare to say it."

Wei Junwu held a large crab claw in his hand, and with a twist of his strength, he shattered the shell, revealing plump crab meat.

He slurped all the crab meat into his mouth in one gulp, swallowing it quickly like Pigsy eating a ginseng fruit, and then sighed:

“When working for such people, you can neither do more nor less; you must do it exactly as instructed, and no extra steps are allowed.”

"Since that person didn't mention that I could tell you his identity, then I can't tell you..."

"Nothing."

Wei Junwu changed the subject and smiled:

"You'll find out soon... I can't say, but there's someone I can talk to about anything, and we should be able to meet soon."

Xue Jing's expression shifted, and he nodded, saying, "I see, I understand now."

"...Old Xue, you're definitely going to rise to great heights in the future. If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"

Wei Junwu winked and made a face.

Xue Jing picked up the glass filled with cola, took a sip, and said leisurely, "I'm already rich."

Wei Junwu chuckled twice and then said, "By the way, Lao Xue, what about you and Otogi Suzuka..."

"Really nothing? Something feels off."

Xue Jing glanced calmly at Wei Junwu and slowly said, "What's wrong? Do you feel something's not right?"

Possessing the mentally enhanced skill of [Contemplation of Truth], Xue Jing has an extremely strong ability to regulate and control his emotions. Although he instinctively resists matters related to men, he has now calmed down and is no longer so stressed.

Anyway, as long as he himself is not happy, no matter what Otogi Suzuka thinks or what outsiders say, it will not affect him at all... Even if the other party tries to force him, Xue Jing will not back down in the slightest.

In that case, he realized he had nothing to be afraid of and could just face it with a calm mind.

“I ran into Suzuka Otogi backstage when your competition ended.”

Wei Junwu stroked his chin.

"He had just come out of the infirmary, apparently because he was getting treatment for a head injury, and he hadn't tied his hair up... how should I put it."

Wei Junwu looked reminiscing, somewhat lost in thought.

"...He's so handsome. He looks completely different from when he has his hair tied up. He doesn't have any masculine feeling at all. He doesn't look like a man at all."

Xue Jing silently moved his chair a little further away from him.

Wei Junwu waved his hand: "I'm pretty sure I'm not gay... The inner ring is technologically advanced, and there are plenty of young men and women selling sex. Apart from having an extra thing, they look exactly like women, but I've always politely declined. The sensors in my crotch don't react to them at all."

“But Otogisuka… is different, really different.”

Wei Junwu looked thoughtful.

"My sensors shouldn't lie to me... Do you think it's possible that this person is actually a top-tier Japanese girl disguised as a man?"

Jiang Siwei, who had already finished eating, showed an embarrassed expression with sweat dripping down her face, thinking that this person was a bit too much.

Xue Jing thought for a moment and said, "Simply dressing as a woman wouldn't fool me. His current body is undoubtedly that of a man, and he has everything that should be there."

"However, there are many strange things and powers in this world, and we cannot rule out the possibility that he may have used the ability to completely disguise his gender."

Wei Junwu exclaimed excitedly, "If that's the case, then you're rich, Lao Xue!"

“Otogi Suzuka is the third heir to the Otogi Zaibatsu, one of the richest people on this planet. Judging from his behavior, he clearly has feelings for you… Ah.”

As Wei Junwu was saying this, he suddenly realized something.

He scratched his head.

"Oh no, this might turn a good thing into a bad thing... Old Xue, you're such a jinx, a femme fatale."

Xue Jing: "?"

……

After returning to the villa at the Zhige base, Xue Jing placed the two flame crabs, each nearly a meter long, that he had brought from outside on the table.

This food was meant for the little maid and Ning Fengwan. At Xue Jing's request, they stayed in the villa practicing martial arts today and did not go to watch the battle.

“Ah Jing.”

Ning Fengwan, in human form, sat on the sofa, her two long, white legs, clad in tight shorts, crossed together in a queenly pose, her fluffy tail swaying behind her.

She rested her chin on her hand, a smile playing on her exquisite face. Her long, narrow phoenix eyes, curved into crescent moons, looked at Xue Jing and said teasingly:

"You're back from exploring the New World?"

Xue Jing's lips twitched: "What are you talking about?"

Ning Fengwan stood up, put her hands behind her back, and walked lightly to Xue Jing's side. She leaned forward, put her head next to Xue Jing's neck, and sniffed his scent.

Speechless, Xue Jing pressed her head down and pushed her away a little.

"What are you doing, acting like a dog?"

Ning Fengwan snorted: "Smell if you smell like a vixen (male) on you."

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow: "And a male in brackets... My Lord, that was just an accident. You wouldn't be jealous of that, would you? What kind of East Asian jealous king are you?"

Ning Fengwan rolled her eyes at him with a charming expression: "Who's jealous... You're too naive. It's hard to say whether it was really an accident."

"Women have many thoughts, and 0 is a woman among men, equally cunning."
