I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

"Young master... I just wanted to ask if you're interested in joining 'Cease-Blades'."

Xue Jing smiled and joked:

"The Sixth Agency is so short on people, they even want to recruit me."

He then shook his head.

"I'm not interested in joining any agency... besides, I've already agreed with White Crow to take assignments as an external member, it wouldn't be good to get involved with 'Cease-Blades'."

However, Ning Yuantai seemed to expect his response, his expression unchanging as he explained:

"Xue... Xue, our 'Cease-Blades' isn't like White Crow, it's a team entirely composed of Martial Artists, possessing resources aimed specifically at Martial Artists."

"For example, martial arts cultivation techniques, Cease-Blades internally has inheritances from the majority of schools in the country, both Old Martial Arts and Neo Martial Arts."

"The nature of the job isn't as uncertain as White Crow's, since we handle martial artist crime, our opponents are traceable Martial Artists. If arrangements are properly made, we can generally resolve issues smoothly, and fighting against Martial Artists can also sharpen your own skills, especially for someone from an Old Martial Art Sect like you."

Ning Yuantai said a lot, but Xue Jing remained unmoved and shook his head.

The inheritance of schools must match with the corresponding Kungfu Body to be effective; his body had already taken the form of Hidden Dragon School, and the potency of other schools' martial arts skills would surely be greatly reduced in his hands, having only referential value, not a necessity.

As for practical combat opportunities, he was not lacking either, with the ability of Consciousness Simulation, he could endlessly duel with any opponent he had encountered.

"No need to say so much, I'm really not interested," Xue Jing said.

"Is that so?" Ning Yuantai looked unsurprised.

He had already consulted Void Blade in detail before coming, knowing that Xue Jing was averse to the constraints of joining an organization. Thus, he had little expectation and was simply fulfilling his duty.

Then, he voiced his real intention.

"In that case, Xue. "

"The conditions are completely the same as with White Crow, how about becoming an external member of 'Cease-Blades' as well?"

Xue Jing didn't speak, just gave him a look.

"Tasks would be handed to you in the form of assignments, whether you accept them or not is up to you, and for rewards... our side can also provide Divine Relics, and resources in the martial arts."

Ning Yuantai earnestly said:

"You've just started learning martial arts not long ago, hence there are many things you still don't understand, and the environment in the Outer Ring isn't great, leading to a lot of limitations on your perspective."

"The path of martial arts is very long... much longer than you can imagine. The further and longer you go on this path, the more and more precious resources you'll need."

"Many resources can't be bought even if you have the money, many talented Martial Artists, just because they lack resources, cannot break through, and waste decades..."

"You don't feel it deeply now because you are just at the beginning, not yet at the stage where you lack resources."

"Believe me, linking up with Cease-Blades will definitely be very beneficial for you." MVLeMpYr-content

Xue Jing remained expressionless, but smiled and asked, "Why are you all so persistent with me? Even willing to give such terms, is it because of Boss Wu?"

Ning Yuantai seemed to hesitate for a moment, then nodded and then shook his head:

"Honestly, there is that reason... mostly it's because of that with White Crow, for me... it's half and half."

Xue Jing curiously asked: "What exactly is her identity that even people from your agency seem a bit eager to please her."

Ning Yuantai pondered and said: "If you still don't know... then I can't say more, only she can tell you personally."

"I see," Xue Jing nodded, then asked:

"So... you said the reason is half and half, one half is because of Boss Wu, what about the other half?"

Ning Yuantai did not answer this question but instead suddenly became very respectful... even reverent, cautiously saying:

"Could you... let me see your eyes."

After Ning Yuantai left, Xue Jing glanced at his panel, then closed it.

The silver white in his pupils gradually faded, and his expression returned from indifference and scorn to normal.

He eventually accepted Ning Yuantai's invitation, becoming an external member of 'Cease-Blades' following White Crow.

If everything Ning Yuantai had said was true, then agreeing to this invitation would be quite beneficial.

And Ning Yuantai... was unlikely to deceive him.

"Charm Art combined with the Artistic Conception of Heaven's Will Saber... very dangerous."

Xue Jing pondered.

He recalled Ning Fengwan's reaction that day as well as Ning Yuantai's reaction just now.

"In ancient times, I reckon I could have played the role of Jesus or Sakyamuni for fun."

Xue Jing shook his head.

He did not quite like this eerie attraction, even feeling a chill run down his spine.

"I should try not to let people around me see this form, otherwise... I'm afraid something I don't want to see might happen."

Xue Jing sighed, dispelling the stray thoughts, and moved to the lakeside, where he sat down cross-legged.

He then submerged his mind into the consciousness space and began to construct the scene.

Streets, alleys, a rainy night...

"Boom—"

"Splash splash splash—"

The torrential rain covered everything, and in the pitch-black night, the only source of light was the lightning flashing across the sky.

Pixel blocks spun and converged, materializing Xue Jing's body.

He clenched his right hand, holding the Crouching Rabbit Sword.

Then, in front of him, another figure slowly appeared.

"Crack—Boom!"

The lightning illuminated the pitch-dark alley for a moment, revealing the true face of that figure.

An exceedingly handsome appearance, an indifferent and scornful expression, holding the Crouching Rabbit Sword in his right hand.

And, those silver pupils that even the pitch-black night could not conceal.

It was—Xue Jing himself.

"Come on, let me see just how strong I really am..."

Xue Jing was somewhat excited, flicking the Crouching Rabbit Sword in his hand, eyes tainted silver and white, yet a dark flame quietly burned at the center.

The originally pitch-black rainy night was now clearly visible in his eyes.

The silver-white blade was coated with a black film, and Xue Jing muttered to himself,

"If it were me... how would I counter this move?"

"Black Heaven Blade·Whirlwind Thunder!"

"Boom!"

The thunder exploded.

The pitch-black spiral of blade light shattered the ground and engulfed the pouring rain, grinding everything in its path like a meat grinder as it swept towards the opposing figure.

'Xue Jing' did not move, without the slightest flinch, and as the pitch-black tornado neared him, his sword blade also coated with a black film.

Then, holding the blade in both hands, his entire body began spinning rapidly like a top, turning into a vertical pitch-black tornado.

Two tornadoes collided horizontally and vertically, creating a 'sizzling' sound like metal grinding against metal, locking in a long standoff.

Eventually, the long-range strike from Xue Jing ran out of force, fracturing into scattered blade light that split the rain curtain and carved countless deep rifts in the surrounding ground and walls.

"Using Golden Scales Transformation in a blade-wielding stance to dissolve it, worthy of me."

Xue Jing looked at the figure who had stopped spinning, unharmed, his eyes shining with excitement.

He took a step on the spot, and 'Xue Jing' disappeared from the original position at the same time.

The next moment, numerous clanging sounds erupted.

Two figures appeared and disappeared within the rain curtain, each encounter flashing with blade light and emitting sharpness, leaving sharp cuts on the ground and walls.

Massive gaps in the rain curtain occasionally opened, the two moving non-stop at high speed, one moment on a high building and the next on the ground, the sound of metal clashing never ceasing.

Both using Twin Speed, their action speeds were not human-like at all, almost as preposterous as a superpowered fighting comic.

Pitch-black flames burst forth, and the buildings around exploded one after another; in just over ten minutes, the entire street was in ruins, a complete mess.

At full power without the constraints of divine skills consumption, the two Xue Jings, even stronger than in reality, merely the aftermath of their battle, was terrifyingly formidable.
