Chapter 215: A Great Face, The Number One Tyrant when Entering the City, The Terrifying Power of Just One Sentence from Xue Jing (4K)

"Ultimate Breakthrough... is it a breakthrough after meeting a certain 'standard'?"
```
Xue Jing's eyes showed deep thought.
It sounded like it was related to foundation, accumulation, combat power, and such.
It was just unknown whether this 'standard' could be applied to him.
His body, with the enhancements from the panel, had long been utterly different from that of a normal human, especially after activating [True Martial], where, in terms of talent alone, he was no longer the same species as humans.
At the end of the day, it was uncertain whether even the 'breakthrough' paradigm could be applied to him.
A breakthrough was a common person reaching their physical and spiritual limits, halting in their strength growth, only able to continue improving after breaking that limit.
And his 'limit,' with the influence of [True Martial] on the body and [Visualization True] on the spirit, was clearly going to be different from that of a common person.
"Xue, have you arranged your accommodations yet?"
Ning Yuantai inquired.
Xue Jing shook his head, "Not yet."
This time Wu Youqing hadn't arranged a hotel for him, and he had planned to book one online in advance before departing, but he wasn't able to find a booking method for a hotel in the Inner Ring.
He now knew that the Inner Ring used the Super Network, so it was normal that he couldn't book it using the ordinary internet.
However, when his little disciple Zong Shichan heard he was going to Yuan City, she suggested contacting a Dojo Disciple of Tiger Soul in Yuan City to help, but Xue Jing refused, thinking it wasn't a big deal and he could just find a place upon arrival.
"Then you should stay with us. Zhi Ge has a sub base in Yuan City with comprehensive facilities, and it's convenient for your daily martial arts practice!"
Ning Yuantai proposed eagerly.
Xue Jing glanced at him with a smile, "I really don't have any serious plans to join The Sixth Agency."
Ning Yuantai shook his head, "It's okay if you don't join, just visiting and experiencing it is nice."
"The sub base is quite large, way more convenient than a hotel, and also safer. The only downside to the Inner Ring compared to the Outer Ring is the unstable security..."
Boom—Just as he finished speaking, a mid-level floor of a distant building suddenly exploded, sparks flying everywhere.
"Hm?" Xue Jing turned to look, the giant holographic sign floating above the main entrance of that building was 'Qining Holiday Hotel'.
His lips twitched, "...Alright then, I'll stay at your Zhi Ge sub base, thanks."
Passersby seemed quite accustomed to the sudden explosion, although everyone quickly moved away from the blast area, few were panicking, and it almost seemed orderly for a moment.
The hotel was blasted open, and a figure flew out from the flaming hole, crashing onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Xue Jing looked up. At first, it was out of pure curiosity, but to his surprise, the figure turned out to be an acquaintance of his.
Almost 1.9 meters tall, bulging muscles stretching her black martial arts uniform tight, her facial features were sharp and defined, yet overall they leaned towards a subtle feminine grace that still revealed her identity as a woman.
"Shady Girl?"
With such a distinctive appearance, she was none other than Ning Muhu, a Disciple of Vajra Wishful Hand.
"Hm? You know her?" Ning Yuantai, who was enjoying the spectacle beside him, asked curiously upon hearing Xue Jing's utterance.
Then he paused for a moment, realizing something.
"Ah? This strong person is a woman?"
Xue Jing nodded, "She's my friend, also here for the U19, didn't expect to bump into her so soon."
Right after he spoke, several more figures rushed out from the blasted hole of the hotel.
Xue Jing looked up.
It was damn acquaintances again!
Previously, when he headed to Maple City for the U19 elimination round on the 'Infinite Nova,' he had encountered two hunters from the 'Titan God Brigade' hailing from the Intersecting Boundaries, who aimed to capture a sea-dwelling species known as Sea Bee King. Due to various reasons, they had a conflict and ended up killed by him.
Later, Ning Fengwan discovered small spherical objects in the brains of the two, which were suspected to be used for 'Consciousness Upload,' suggesting the possibility that they hadn't actually died.
And now, one of the women rushing out from the hotel was the same one from the Infinite Nova who had malevolent intentions towards him.
Xue Jing and Miao Miao exchanged a glance, both wearing a strange expression.
This was just too coincidental.
"Since she's your friend... What about it, care to assist?"
Ning Yuantai clenched his fists together a few times, seemingly excited.
Of course, he was going to help, but before taking action, Xue Jing asked curiously:
"So, street fights are no issue in the Inner Ring?"
Ning Yuantai replied, "Legally, they're of course not allowed... but practically, apart from the strictly enforced A1 to A3 districts, law enforcement in the other areas usually drags their feet, arriving only after the fighting's finished."
"Unless one of the involved parties has paid a hefty security fee to a security company, in which case they would arrive quickly."
"We move fast, finish up and scram, and generally there shouldn't be a problem."
Xue Jing nodded, "I see."
"So... let's go."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than he vanished in a 'boom,' trailing colorful streaks of light, shooting towards Ning Muhu like a meteor.
"Hey? Wait for me!"
Ning Yuantai hastily followed, but his speed was no match for Xue Jing and he was soon left far behind.
