I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

After Yin Muhu and he had completed their check-in at the hotel front desk, Xue Jing got his room card.

He didn't immediately head to his room, but instead sat down in the lobby's rest area.

He first opened his panel to take a look.

[...Fitness Experience Points +203]

[...Health Cultivation Experience Value +102]

[...Fighting Experience Points +216]

[...Hidden Dragon Energy Experience Points +268]

Having fought briefly with that person named Xiahou, or rather subjected him to a one-sided beating, although it wasn't intense, it was actual combat after all, so the panel still provided a decent amount of experience points as a reward.

After closing the panel, Xue Jing recalled the fight just now.

The counterattack carried out by the other person at the cost of a severely injured shoulder was sudden, but given his Eye Power and Reaction Speed, plus the Action Speed of Twin Speed, he could have easily dodged it.

However, due to his desire to test his current 'Toughness', he didn't dodge but stood his ground and took the punch head-on.

"Shadow Flame still has many aspects worth developing."

He rubbed his chin, his eyes revealing contemplation.

The moment he was struck, he not only used Golden Scale Skin but also created a 'shield' with Shadow Flame around his neck.

This shield had two layers, the outer layer's physical properties resembled steel, which was the strongest intensity Shadow Flame could currently achieve, while the inner layer was soft like animal fur, used for shock absorption.

And indeed, the results were excellent.

Xiahou's punch first landed on the Shadow Flame shield, with a considerable portion of the force being blocked; the remaining force was neutralized by Xue Jing's Golden Scale Skin.

In the end, he didn't even flinch and easily withstood the heavy punch.

"There's also room for optimizing the structure of this type of shield..."

Just as he was pondering, Xue Jing noticed that the brightness in his field of vision had suddenly dimmed.

Raising his head, he saw a tall and robust figure approaching him, blocking some of the hotel lobby's light, with the shadow almost completely covering him.

Xue Jing spoke with a smile, "What's the matter, Shady Girl?"

But the visitor was Yin Muhu.

Muscles like forged steel covered her entire body, even her face enveloped by prominent muscle lines, barely allowing for the delicate features of a woman to be discerned.

Among the people Xue Jing had met, only his senior brother, Meng Boshang, had a bigger frame than her.

"I just thought of something... Xue Jing, you mentioned earlier that you are a disciple of the Hidden Dragon Dojo, right?"

Yin Muhu spoke.

After completing her own check-in, she was on her way to her room when she suddenly thought of something and turned back.

Even though she had heard it before, the sweet girlish voice of Yin Muhu, filled with such contrast, still seemed very magical to Xue Jing.

He nodded and replied warmly, "I am indeed a disciple of the Hidden Dragon Dojo... Do you have a question?"

Yin Muhu hummed a response, "Then that's right... You must have heard of the phrase 'The Trio of Jade City' in the Old Martial Circle, haven't you?"

Xue Jing asked in confusion, "The Trio of Jade City?"

Yin Muhu seemed incredulous, "Aren't you a disciple of 'Dragon King' Li Qi? He never mentioned it to you?"

"Decades ago, in Jade City, there were three young martial arts masters who were friends, touted as the three geniuses from the south most likely to reach the 'Big Seven Titles'."

"Vajra Zhou, Dragon King Li, Asura Chen."

On hearing this, Xue Jing realized that it was indeed them.

He shook his head, "He did mention a few things, but he never brought up 'The Trio of Jade City.'"

Jade City, like Star City and Yuan City, is one of the three Core Inner Ring cities of the Fifth Urban Circle.

The primary area where my master used to be active was in Jade City... and he never mentioned it.

Yin Muhu nodded as if she approved greatly and said, "It seems this 'Dragon King' is a person unconcerned with fame and fortune; he doesn't boast about his past glories. He must be a senior with a noble character and esteemed virtue."

Xue Jing: "..."

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he hesitated, "Uh... more or less."

His master's greatest hobbies were drifting in his wheelchair to flip up high school girls' skirts, and his favorite person was his own sister-in-law...

From a universal value perspective, these actions didn't quite align with 'noble character and esteemed virtue'—at the very least, they were completely unrelated.

But having no good reason to refute someone else's praise of his master in front of outsiders, as a disciple, all he could do was awkwardly acquiesce.

After receiving affirmation from Xue Jing, Yin Muhu's expression lit up as if a certain idea in her heart was confirmed, and she nodded repeatedly:

"I knew it... Sure enough, everything the grandmaster said was a lie. How could 'Dragon King' possibly be the kind of person who, during a duel with a nun, nearly lost but then kissed the nun, breaking her spiritual focus, and used such despicable means to turn a defeat into victory..."

Xue Jing: "..."

The more he heard, the more convinced he became that his master, Li Qi, was precisely the kind of person who could do such a thing.

All this time, Li Qi's guidance on actual combat was centered around one principle—winning.

Winning was everything.

The person who stands is the one with the right to be called despicable.

Xue Jing's expression became odd.

Master, I never knew you did such things...

"It must be the grandmaster herself who did such things and framed others for it."

Yin Muhu seemed to have a profound grudge against her own grandmaster. While speaking, she kept nodding her head, more convinced than ever.

Thinking for a moment, Xue Jing inquired, "Shady Girl, your grandmaster is?"

Yin Muhu looked at him, her rugged face showing an even warmer expression than before, and she laughed as she said:

"Then let me introduce myself formally again."

She extended a broad hand towards Xue Jing—its muscles visibly outlined even on the fingers.
