I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

The conditions were already met... Since Acting usually increases Experience Points a little bit, although I hadn't been grinding deliberately, I had reached Lv10 not long ago.

And the conditions full of question marks were somehow also satisfied.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. It's good to be able to transcend, except for skills like Charm Art where there might be a great risk after transcending; any other skill that can level up, should level up."

Without hesitation, Xue Jing directly clicked to transcend.

The next moment, the [Acting] skill on the panel gradually melted away like ink dispersing in water.

A brand-new skill slowly emerged in the Extraordinary Skills column.

[Thousand Changes Lv1 (Extraordinary)]

[Upgrade Required: Experience Points 0/10000, Divinity 6816/1000]

"Thousand Changes..." Xue Jing, upon seeing this name, had a vague realization in his heart.

He probably understood how Acting had activated the transcending conditions.

Just now, during the sparring with Li Suisui, with the techniques of All Things Myriad Phases, he exhibited thousands of different Powers, exchanging blows with Li Suisui.

If the transcending condition for Acting was 'the number of others played', then perhaps in that instant, he was equivalent to portraying thousands of different people using different Martial Arts?

Thus, by a fortuitous coincidence, he had successfully met the transcending condition for Acting...

Although it was a conjecture without much evidence, Xue Jing's intuition told him it was very likely correct.

"Interesting... I didn't expect to accidentally acquire an Extraordinary Skill at this time."

Xue Jing was in quite a good mood.

This younger half-brother, Li Suisui, turned out to be his lucky star indeed.

Xue Jing took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and began to experience the functions of [Thousand Changes].

In an instant, he instinctively learned how to use Thousand Changes.

"So that's it... It turns out to be like this."

Xue Jing's expression changed.

The next moment, his entire body underwent a sudden transformation.

His originally immaculate and creamy-white skin suddenly started to wither, wrinkle, and muscles began to shrink, hair turned dry and white, and his youthful face suddenly aged decades, full of wrinkles and vicissitudes.

From a handsome young man, he had turned into a distinguished-looking old man.

"... Even the interior of the body has aged and weakened a lot."

Xue Jing looked at his withered palms and said with some disbelief.

His voice sounded hoarse and old, similar to his 'youthful' voice, yet different.

With a thought, the withered skin rapidly replenished, muscles became full again, and soon Xue Jing returned to his original youthful appearance.

Then, he once again used Thousand Changes.

His chest began to protrude, his waist, arms, and thighs became slender, the Adam's apple slowly disappeared, the features of his face rearranged and softened a lot...

After briefly experimenting to see if he could achieve the transformation, Xue Jing quickly changed back.

"Bro's as straight as the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, not going for that effeminate stuff."

Shaking his head, Xue Jing mumbled to himself:

"Now comes the crucial part..."

He closed his eyes and deployed [Thousand Changes] again. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

Soon, his entire body, his hair, began to grow wildly.

On his face, shoulders, elbows, back... numerous black hairs sprouted, even around his groin, his whole person became a hairy figure.

Then his stature shrank and curved, his lips formed into three parts, several whiskers grew from either side, and pointed ears sprouted from his head...

Before long, Xue Jing was gone.

In his place, a black cat appeared, similar in fur to Ning Maomao, also with four white 'gloves.'

The cat was larger than Ning Maomao, with features extremely similar to Xue Jing himself, handsome and majestic, with indigo vertical pupils that looked around with the air of an invincible leader of the rubbish heap.

"It can really do it..."

Words came out from Cat Xue's mouth as he showed his sharp Tiger Tooth, expressing surprise.

He had essentially fully understood the skill [Thousand Changes].

Firstly, as the name would suggest, it allowed Xue Jing to change in a myriad of ways.

Middle-aged men, old men, women, children... and even non-human animals, could all be transformed into.

This kind of transformation was irrespective of species structure, against common sense, showcasing the 'Extraordinary Traits' of an Extraordinary Skill.

From then on, no matter what role he played—child, elderly person, criminal, saint, or even animal—he could manifest the physical changes accordingly. He was, in essence, a consummately perfect "actor."

The only possible downside, if it could be considered one, was that his changed appearance, whether human or animal, was always based on his original form, He couldn't fully disguise his looks.

Even if he turned into a cat, one could still tell from the facial features that it was Xue Jing.

"I wonder if I could turn into a dragon..."

Cat Xue mused thoughtfully.

If I were a dragon, that would be good.

He wanted to try, but then he realized... he had no idea how to change.

[Thousand Changes] required a thorough understanding of the biological subject before transformation. Otherwise, without a clear concept of the body structure and what it felt like to be that creature, transformation was impossible.

This was similar to acting. If one couldn't empathize and fully embody a role, the performance would be a total mess.

He could turn into a cat thanks to Ning Maomao, with whom he had become extremely familiar.

But dragons... He had killed quite a few but hardly knew them well.

Though he had mastered the techniques from the Hidden Dragon School, the dragons conceived there were fictional, lacking a tangible reality and thus difficult to use as a reference.

"It looks like I'll need to catch some Dragon Breeds and study them closely in the future..." Cat Xue pondered.

...

Cao Sini and He Han's small team slowly made their way back to Xue Jing's base.

"We haven't encountered anyone else around here, no way to rack up points, where is Miss Cao going to find the nutrients she's lacking?"

He Han teased incessantly, while Cao Sini simply ignored him.

"It's just the beginning now, not meeting anyone is normal. When the forced movement task triggers again and the paths of different teams overlap, then..."

Chen Xingyan trailed off mid-sentence, suddenly startled.

"Eh... what is that?"

Everyone followed his gaze.

Where Xue Jing had been, there now sat a small figure.

He appeared to be just over ten years old, standing about 1.35 meters tall, with a face so young and beautiful that due to his tender age, gender distinctions were not clear, and his soft and cute features made it nearly impossible to tell male from female.

But anyone who saw him would immediately be certain he was a boy.

The ease and light laughter that didn't belong to a child, the regal authority emanating from his lush azure eyes, those were beyond the reach of any little girl.

He was the epitome of a stunningly handsome young boy.

The pope of Christianity would stand up in admiration upon seeing him—a perfect mold for the theme of noble boys in a grand chariot.

"Mr. Xue?"

Amidst a flicker of recognition, Cao Sini hesitantly spoke up.

Xue Jing smiled and responded in a tender, pleasant voice, "What's the matter, classmate Sini?"

"Ah?"

Everyone was completely taken aback.

Ye Jingqiu's breathing became heavy, her pretty face blushed, and her eyes moistened with the verge of shooting out hearts.

"Ah ah!!"

Unable to contain her excitement, Ye Jingqiu surged toward Little Xue Jing.

"Mr. Xue, let me hug you, please, I beg you, let me hug you (shaky voice)!!"

Just as she was about to pounce on Xue Jing, a slender figure flashed by.

With a slap, Ye Jingqiu was knocked to the ground and fainted.

Cao Sini's face reddened slightly as she gently embraced Xue Jing, holding him protectively against herself.

She bit her lip, pressed Xue Jing's head into her bosom, fighting the urge to crush the young boy into her body, and murmured softly, "You can't be disrespectful to Mr. Xue..."

As she said this, she gazed at Little Xue Jing for a moment, and unable to resist, she hugged him tightly. Xue Jing's face was completely buried in her softness, almost flattening out the area.

"Eh..."

Cao Sini let out a satisfied sigh.
