I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Having said that, he clenched the pale cyan wind ball in his hand tightly.

In an instant, a pale cyan airflow burst from his hands, expanding in a ring-like pattern and dispersing over the entire arena.

Xue Jing ignored the increasingly frenzied Zhou Yinglin and muttered to himself:

"Wind of All Beginnings..."

[GOD-098·Wind of All Beginnings].

The top-tier Divine Relic from Xu's Biological Company that Youqing A Dream had commissioned him to steal.

It was a rather special Divine Relic, having only one serial number but actually consisting of nine pieces... or rather, nine forms.

Nine forms of Wind of All Beginnings, each with the same ability to "return things to their original state."

The most typical use was to combat "Otherworldly Objects."

People implanted with Alien Implants, those whose bodies had mutated due to practicing Neo Martial Arts, or those whose spirits had altered due to the blessings of a Heretic God... all traces of mutation would temporarily vanish when swept by the Wind of All Beginnings.

Simply put, with this object at hand, "powers not originally possessed" were rendered unusable.

Since its discovery, the Wind of All Beginnings had always been scattered around the world; the nine wind balls had never truly gathered together, and currently, no one knew what would happen or what effect it would have if they were to combine into a "complete form."

Xue Jing also guessed why Wu Youqing wanted the Wind of All Beginnings.

"Where did you get this thing from?"

He slowly asked Zhou Yinglin.

Zhou Yinglin, seemingly quite excited and feeling that he had grasped Xue Jing's weak spot, snickered a few times but did not answer directly, saying instead:

"The virtuous receive help while the wicked lack support, there are many who want you dead, Xue Jing."

Xue Jing nodded, his eyes showing contemplation.

The form of Wind of All Beginnings that Zhou Yinglin held could not have been the one from Xu's Biology, as he had no current connections with the Xu Family.

Was it probably obtained from the Secret Martial Society?

The most suitable users of Wind of All Beginnings were those who practiced Old Martial Arts, whose power originated from within themselves, thus remaining unaffected.

If it were an extreme Old Martial Arts organization like the Secret Martial Society, it wouldn't be strange for them to possess this object.

"I didn't expect such an unexpected gain... My BOSS will be very pleased."

Xue Jing thought to himself that if he returned with two forms of Wind of All Beginnings, Wu Youqing's normally calm and serene face might just show a surprised and joyful expression...

Thinking about it, his lips unconsciously curved into a gentle smile.

This scene was captured by a photographer in a close-up shot and displayed on the large screen within the venue, causing a raucous and screams among the audience.

Xue Jing ignored the external clamor, flicked the fishing rod he was holding, and activated [Army Master].

The effect of weapon enhancement gradually covered the entire fishing rod, transforming it into a Divine Weapon...and there was no appearance of platinum color infusion either.

This was a method he had experimented with over the past few days. Since hidden assassination weapons like daggers were also included in the [Army Master], as long as he kept in mind the need for concealment while using it, the platinum effect would be hidden.

'Indeed... even the Wind of All Beginnings has no effect on me.'

Xue Jing thought, pointing the fishing rod at Zhou Yinglin and said softly:

"It seems you've misunderstood something, but I'm in a good mood right now, I might even thank you."

"I'll give you one chance, make your move."

Zhou Yinglin sneered, "Pretentious!"

"Die, Xue Jing!"

He stepped forward, his Embroidered Needle thrust forward without hesitation, executing Impeccable.

This time, he would not lose again, without the God-Given Secret Art, the person before him was nothing but a thief who had stolen the technique of Impeccable!

Zhou Yinglin's skin slightly reddened, and a faint white steam began to rise from the crown of his head.

The Secret Medicine he had taken before the match began to take effect, forcibly elevating his mental calculation abilities. At this moment, he had reached the third level of Impeccable–Hundred Needles, Thousand Threads!

Even a Limit-Breaking Grandmaster would have to be extremely cautious in front of his Hundred Needles, Thousand Threads, one careless move could mean death on the spot!

The needle-like spear transformed into a stream of light, splitting from one into ten, ten into a hundred, turning into an endless barrage, sweeping towards Xue Jing.

Nearing, it was getting closer.

The rural bumpkin who had brought him enormous humiliation through cheating means was about to die at his hands.

Zhou Yinglin felt a tingling heat all over, reaching the peak of excitement, a sense of deep satisfaction was about to surge throughout his body.

He had a premonition that immediately after killing Xue Jing, he would experience a tremendous breakthrough and reach the true realm of Hundred Needles, Thousand Threads...

And just as the barrage was about to engulf Xue Jing.

"Swoosh—clang—"

The sound of wind howling and metal clashing rang out.

Xue Jing casually swung the ordinary-looking fishing rod in his hand.

An unstoppable, ferociously powerful strike came, Zhou Yinglin's fully formed Impeccable was instantly torn apart like a piece of ragged clothing.

The barrage dissipated and collapsed, the Embroidered Needle flew sideways, spinning in the air, embedding itself in the pale blue Repulsion Membrane above the arena, stirring up ripples.

"What...!!"

Zhou Yinglin's eyes widened, disbelieving.

Was that... a fishing rod?

Why... how could it be like the Giant Sword?
