I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Seeing this, Xue Jing spoke up, "Sis, you go ahead if you're busy. I'm going to head back to the hotel now."

After thinking for a bit, Xue Wan said, "Alright then... You still have a competition tomorrow. I've already bought tickets, so I'll be there to cheer you on at the venue."

Xue Jing nodded with a smile.

"Competition? Wait, tomorrow you mean... is it U19?"

Zhao Lu said in surprise.

Shang Ping complained, "Wow, Wanwan, why didn't you say so earlier? I don't know if the tickets are sold out now; let's hurry and check!"

"We absolutely must watch Little Brother's match in person!"

Wei Juan pulled out her phone,

"What's the rush? The stadium can seat over ten thousand people. There's plenty of tickets, and if they're sold out, we can always scalp..."

Xue Jing laughed and said, "Well, that's it for today. I'm heading off now."

He was about to turn around and walk towards the school gate when Xue Wan stopped him, "Wait! Leave Little Feng Wan here."

Xue Jing paused, and said helplessly,

"You haven't had enough of her yet?"

Xue Wan reached out to scoop Miao Miao from Xue Jing's shoulder into her arms, rubbing her face vigorously against the cat's head, enraptured, "How could I ever have enough? I never want to be apart from Little Feng Wan for the rest of my life, mommy loves you so much!"

As she spoke, she also planted several kisses on the corner of Miao Miao's mouth.

Miao Miao: "..."

It looked towards Xue Jing with a very anthropomorphized 'old man, subway, phone.jpg' expression on its face.

Xue Jing pinched his chin, although he also felt a bit of cat addiction coming on, seeing Miao Miao's tormented expression was quite amusing.

So, he waved his hand and without looking back, headed towards the school gate.

"Goodbye."

Miao Miao's mouth twitched.

...

Walking on the way to the school gate, Xue Jing pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and opened the panel.

[...Fitness Experience Points +152]

"Acting..."

Xue Jing's gaze rested on this newly activated skill.

"An unexpected gain," he mused.

Though he had only just activated it, his extensive martial arts practice had given him exceptional control over his body, and he instantly understood the benefits this skill provided him.

It seemed like one of those skills that, like [Cooking] or [Charm Art], would be pointless for physical strength.

But that wasn't the case.

"Emotional control strength... no, it should be called... 'emotional mobilization ability'?"

Xue Jing pondered.

The skill of Acting provided him with the ability to conjure emotions out of thin air.

Earlier at the Martial Arts Club, after activating Acting, he thought of playing an arrogant role. As a result, he truly entered character and managed to stir up a sentiment of 'arrogance.'

This was something he couldn't do before activating Acting.

[Visualization True] had provided him with a powerful ability to control emotions, but it couldn't give him this kind of ability to conjure emotions out of nowhere.

"The ability to control emotions is 'Quiet Qi', and the ability to mobilize emotions is 'Dynamic Qi'..."

"With the [Acting] skill, I can always stimulate 'Dynamic Qi' in my heart; this is pretty impressive."

A martial artist's combat strength is deeply impacted by emotions. Without the fighting spirit, the will to kill, determination, confidence, anger... these 'Dynamic Qis,' a punch would lack force, and one wouldn't even feel like fighting. How could one defeat an opponent?

The ability to generate 'Dynamic Qi' out of nowhere is a talent all martial artists dream of!

"Ban's skills truly are extraordinary, even a random one is so impressive."

"With this, compared to 'Eye-Dotting', I might grasp another ultimate skill of the Hidden Dragon School first..."

Xue Jing thought to himself.

The three ultimate skills of the Hidden Dragon School, the first one, is the ultimate result of the Five Major Practices of Dynamic Posture and Armor Shaking Skill, the pinnacle of killing techniques, called 'Eye-Dotting'.

The second, is the ultimate effect after cultivating a body full of Dragon Qi through the Static Posture and the Coiling Dragon Art, the pinnacle of using Dynamic Qi, the Ultimate Move of Motion, which is named—

'Inverse Scales'!

The so-called Dragon Qi is essentially a strange emotion where one regards oneself as a True Dragon.

Once Cultivating Dragon Qi is greatly achieved, just on a spiritual level, one is no different from a True Dragon.

As a True Dragon, naturally one possesses an Inverse Scale at heart, touch it and one is bound to be extremely furious.

The so-called 'Mystic Art·Inverse Scales' is about igniting one's soul, like a True Dragon whose Inverse Scale has been touched, entering an extremely terrifying state of explosion in extreme wrath.

At that time, the punch one throws out is understandably several times more powerful than usual.

"Looking at it from the theory behind 'spiritual power interferes with one's reality', the move Inverse Scales isn't just about emotion,"

Xue Jing muttered to himself.

Before he knew this theory, Xue Jing merely considered 'Inverse Scales' as a method to mobilize adrenaline, a kind of Heavenly Demon Dismemberment Technique that injures the enemy at the cost of self-damage and therefore didn't take it very seriously.

But after learning of the theory, it was a different story.

Now he regarded Inverse Scales with even more importance than 'Eye-Dotting', only second to that ultimate skill.

"Just like how I can wield Saber Qi that shouldn't exist using the Heavenly Blade Mindset, a considerable part of the combat boost from Inverse Scales should be due to the interference brought about by spiritual power, apart from the consumption of mental energy, there shouldn't be any other cost..."

Thoughts leaped through his mind, and Xue Jing unintentionally walked out of the school gate.

"Not only does it mobilize emotions, but it also significantly enhances body control... truly an excellent skill."

Control over one's body shape, facial expressions, and so on, also falls under the domain of Acting.

"And with the practice of the Coiling Dragon Art, having this skill will also greatly hasten the progress of Cultivating Dragon Qi."

Xue Jing walked out of the school gate, pushed his glasses up, and was just about to hail a taxi on the road.

At this moment, a figure suddenly walked up to him and blocked his way.

"Hmm?"

Xue Jing lifted his gaze.

It was a person in a black cloak with a hood, the upper half of their face covered in shadow, revealing only the lower half of their face.

However, judging by the figure and the curvature of the lines on the lower half of the face, it was clearly a woman.

Xue Jing had been deep in thought just a moment prior and only now noticed that the area near the school entrance was eerily quiet.

He looked left and right, apart from himself and the person in front of him, there was not a third figure in sight, not even the security guard.

With his gaze narrowing slightly, Xue Jing stopped in his tracks, saying nothing.

In the silence, the cloaked woman spoke.

"Sir, do you have a faith?"

Proselytizing?

After pondering for a moment, Xue Jing responded, "I'm a materialist."

The woman chuckled and replied, "Materialists can also have faith."

"My faith is materialism—is that explanation not acceptable?"

Xue Jing spoke, his pupils gradually changing color, quietly turning into a gentle silver-white, like Moonlight.

"Of course, it's acceptable. The boundaries of the word faith are not so narrow, but the faith I'm talking about is a spiritual reliance, an affirmation of the path one has chosen for oneself."

The woman seemed to notice nothing and continued to speak in a gentle voice:

"There are many paths in this world, but most of them are incorrect. Therefore, to discern the correct path, one needs a reference point."

"And those who have already traversed the correct path are the best reference."

Moonlight condensed in Xue Jing's silver-white pupils without emitting, and he said quietly, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

The woman smiled and elaborated, "Men and women in the world, are all flowers, each person is unique, the only flower in the world. Countless uniqueness makes up a world of a thousand reds and ten thousand glamors."

"And the one who controls this myriad of glamor is a magnificent existence..."

"He is the reference for the correct path, the Merciful Mother who nurtures the myriad of beauties, the fragrance that never dissipates."

"Sir, you possess the talent to follow Him, to step onto the right path together."

The woman spread her arms, her head slightly raised, revealing half a vibrant eye.

"Come, join our Flower God Society, embrace the sovereign of a thousand reds and ten thousand glamors, draw from the warmth of the Merciful Mother."
