I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

"Smack—"

The collision of lips was so intense it sounded like a clap of hands.

Du Mingluan and Kou Chengjian's eyes widened as they stared at each other from just a breath away, utterly unable to accept reality, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Thus, the kiss lasted for more than a second.

"Click—"

The sound of a camera's shutter snapped nearby, and a flash of light finally brought them back to their senses.

They immediately pushed each other away with all their might, breaking free from the hold Xue Jing had on the back of their heads, and putting distance between them.

"Ugh—"

Then they dramatically began to retch, furiously wiping their lips as if they wanted to tear off the outer layer of their skin.

"Hahaha."

Xue Wan held her phone, watching the photo she had just taken, covering her mouth with one hand, and trembling with laughter, absolutely delighted.

"Sis, can't you dodge a bit? Standing there like a block of wood."

Xue Jing looked at her speechlessly and said.

Xue Wan waved her hand, her face full of smiles, "I was so shocked that my legs went weak; I couldn't move at all."

So shocked her legs went weak?

Xue Jing looked at her, cheerfully viewing the photo on her phone, and genuinely found no trace of her being startled.

"My silly pea, it's been months, how have you grown taller again?"

Xue Wan stood up and reached out to touch Xue Jing's head.

She was tall and well-built, at least over five foot seven, and reaching Xue Jing's head posed no challenge for her.

While speaking playfully, Xue Wan's eyes were quite gentle, obviously very happy to see her brother after such a long time.

"...Hmm? What's with your face, did you get plastic surgery?"

She patted Xue Jing's cheek, puzzled.

"It doesn't seem changed... but why does it look much prettier?"

"Oh, these muscles..."

Xue Jing's mouth twitched, and he grabbed Xue Wan's hand which was wandering all over him.

Meanwhile, an irritated and angry voice came from the side.

"Hey, woman."

"Did you just take a photo? Give me your phone."

The shorter Du Mingluan's face was dark as he reached out his hand towards Xue Wan.

Xue Wan cocked her head, a look of 'don't worry, I understand' on her face, speaking in a friendly tone, "Don't worry, I'll add your contact later and send you the photo."

Du Mingluan paused, "That's not what I mean."

On the other side, Kou Chengjian spoke irritably, "Why waste words with her? Just snatch it and smash the phone; this photo absolutely cannot get out!"

After saying this, he couldn't help but spit again, "Tsk! That's really disgusting!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Wan immediately hid behind Xue Jing and peeked her head out from over his shoulder, displeased, "This is the witness of you opening the door to a new world; it has so much commemorative value, we can't delete it."

Du Mingluan and Kou Chengjian's faces twitched as they looked at Xue Jing, who was shielding Xue Wan.

Never mind that this woman might look pretty but was clearly somewhat crazy, it was this man who was the real instigator.

But this man was not simple.

Du Mingluan and Kou Chengjian looked at each other.

Although they had been focusing on each other just before, the fact that he could approach them with a speed they couldn't react to and accurately grasp their heads…

Clearly showed his exceptional martial prowess.

Looking at his appearance, his age should be similar to theirs; he must also be here to compete.

This was an opponent on their level!

"So how do we do this?"

Du Mingluan asked.

Kou Chengjian, with a dark expression, said, "The most important thing right now is to destroy the photo."

Xue Jing, while they were talking, turned his head slightly and glanced at Xue Wan, who was resting her chin on his shoulder with her eyes.

"Just delete it. Although, coming from me, the instigator, it might not sound great... but as a male, I empathize with their aversion."

Xue Jing sighed.

Xue Wan shook her finger, a pleased look on her face as she spoke, "People are different; you might truly be repulsed, but look at these two – they seem like they're enemies, but at the crucial moment, they immediately start cooperating. This kind of understanding..."

"Such a classic foe-to-friend literature!"

"This photo might just be the witness to their first step; it would be a shame to delete it!"

Xue Jing groaned.

Hearing this, Du Mingluan and Kou Chengjian clenched their fists so tightly they nearly burst into a fight on the spot to prove they absolutely had no such inclinations with the other.

Kou Chengjian, struggling to hold back, gritted his teeth, "The photo first!"

Du Mingluan's fists crackled, "You take the left, I've got the right!"

Xue Wan's eyes lit up, "See, that understanding!"

Without another word, they both took a step and vanished from where they were.

Du Mingluan appeared on the left, reaching for the phone in Xue Wan's hand.

Kou Chengjian appeared on the right, swung his fist, his thick joints stirring up a circular wave of air, aimed at Xue Jing - a diversion to try and occupy him so he couldn't protect Xue Wan.

At the same time, almost unnoticed, many small cracks appeared on the marble floor beneath their feet, soon bulging slightly as if something was about to burst forth.

Xue Jing watched the two men approaching, his expression unchanged, roughly estimating their level from their movements.

"They should be about the same level as Li Chengxuan... or maybe slightly stronger."

"Is this the standard of the geniuses around here, aged seventeen or eighteen?"

He thought to himself, but his actions did not slow down.

Power and Twin Speed were activated simultaneously.

The Power surged, and the True Dragon roamed within him.
