I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

"...How can he be so handsome?"

The woman with gold and silver highlights looked at the scene before her, her eyes gleaming as she exclaimed.

The man with a twisted grin and a shadowy countenance turned to her, moving the corners of his mouth that lacked cheeks: "...A little help."

He struggled a couple times, only to find that the foot pressing on his back was as immovable as Mount Tai.

"You said it's really embarrassing to get counter-killed when trying to show off, super hilarious."

The woman with gold and silver highlights glanced at him, her laugh tinged with scorn, and then she pulled a pistol from the holster at her waist, unhesitatingly pulling the trigger at Xue Jing.

"Pfft—"

A subdued gunshot sounded, and a golden bullet burst forth, rotating as it shot towards Xue Jing's abdomen.

With Xue Jing's eye power, he determined the bullet's velocity to be around 320m/s right off the bat—not very fast. At such speeds, he could precisely flick it away with a snap of his fingers.

However, he didn't do so. Instead, almost simultaneously with the bullet's discharge, he waved a hand toward the woman with gold and silver highlights. Shadow Flame quietly activated, condensing into a solid Dark Flame bullet that flew toward the golden one, intercepting it precisely in the middle between them.

"Snap—"

The golden bullet collided with the Dark Flame bullet and immediately exploded into a large amount of Goldwater, enough to envelop an adult. One couldn't imagine it had been contained in a tiny golden bullet moments before.

Xue Jing pivoted on the foot stepping on the man, his Power circulating, and the ground instantly cracked, pressing the man nearly a meter deep into the earth, creating a human-shaped indentation.

He then flashed behind the woman with gold and silver highlights, following a trailing colorful path of flame, and in the next moment, appeared behind her, kicking her into the Goldwater that had yet to touch the ground.

"Ah!"

The woman with gold and silver highlights screamed, engulfed by the Goldwater that stubbornly clung to her, leaving her wrapped in gold, immobile.

All of this occurred in the blink of an eye. Xue Jing's speed was simply too fast, and those around were only just beginning to react.

Apart from the shadowy man, the woman with gold and silver highlights, and Qiao Ying, there were three other members of the Titan God Brigade. Seeing this, they immediately acted, heading straight for Xue Jing.

But it was already too late.

"Flame Color Chain - Burning Wheel."

The Heavenly Sabre technique Flames Connecting Colors, combined with the Hidden Dragon School technique Whirlwind Thunder, enhanced both power and speed when used together, greater than when either was used alone.

The spiraling trail of colorful flames wove through the air, too fast for anyone present to see clearly.

"Boom, boom, boom—!"

After three explosive sounds, Xue Jing reappeared in the middle of the scene, the three members of the Titan God Brigade flung out, smashing through buildings and flying off to who knows where.

Yin Muhu blinked, staring at the scene that could only be described as overwhelmingly powerful, somewhat dumbfounded.

It had been less than a month since they last met... how had Xue become so much stronger?

"Hmm? Who is that, using martial arts or an Alien Implant?"

"Should be a practitioner of Neo Martial Arts, right? Which school, though?"

"I've never seen him before. Oh, that U19 championship is starting soon, maybe he's a contestant from out of town."

"He's so impressive and good-looking, and we've never seen him before... Could he be from the Outer Ring?"

The surrounding spectators also began discussing amongst themselves in amazement.

At that moment, Ning Yuantai arrived at the scene, his body streaked with red streams as if he'd powered up with a King's Fist.

"Ah? Xue, you're done already?"

He looked around with a hint of disappointment and spoke.

Of all the members of the Titan God Brigade present, only Qiao Ying, who was crouched on the ground, could be said to be standing.

Xue Jing looked at her and seemed to recall hearing her name earlier. After thinking hard, he couldn't remember what she was called.

This was due to the side effect of the Divine Relic he was carrying, the "Proof of Love"—which made it easy to forget the names of people who were unimportant to him.

From what Xue Jing had seen in the Divine Relic archives, the side effect would trigger if the target's Affection Level was above 10 but below 40 points.

However, if the target was involved in something important, one could strengthen the memory by repeatedly reciting the name or similar methods, thus forcibly remembering it.

It was a rather benign side effect.

Xue Jing looked at Qiao Ying, who was staring at him dreamily. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to take any action against her and turned to Ning Yuantai:

"I didn't expect it to be so quick... The opponents were a bit weak."

Yin Muhu shook his head: "I don't think it was that the opponents were weak, it's that you, Xue, are too strong... With that kind of absolute domination in speed, unless the opponent's strength is equivalent to yours, can't keep up with your pace, and doesn't have sufficient defense, the outcome is always an instant defeat."

Ning Yuantai sighed with disappointment for not having gotten the chance to fight alongside Xue Jing. He dispersed the red tornado stirred up by the Red Lotus Volcano Forbidden Technique and made his way over to the shadowy man that Xue Jing had stepped into the ground.

"Hmm, this emblem..."

Ning Yuantai pulled the unconscious man out of the pit and looked at a symbol on the right arm of his clothes.

It was a golden symbol of two crossed arms.

"He's with the Titan God Brigade?"

Xue Jing walked beside him and nodded: "That's how they introduced themselves... Why, you know them?"

As Ning Yuantai searched the shadowy man's body, he answered:

"Yes, I know them. They're a well-known Hunter organization from the Intersecting Boundaries. Their leader is pretty powerful, known as 'Giant God Machina,' wielding two 'combat-focused Divine Weapons' ranked within the top three hundred."
