I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Everyone stared in dumbfounded silence at the carcass of the Cockroach Monster that had fallen to the ground.

"What the hell? You didn't just toss a depleted uranium armor-piercing round with your bare hands, did you?"

The Mountain Demon said with an incredulous expression.

The petite, short-haired girl Jing muttered, "It must have been an Armor-Piercing Knife..."

Captain Void Blade gave Xue Jing a deep look, "...My knife is quite expensive."

After the knife Xue Jing had thrown pierced through the Cockroach Monster, it didn't stop. Instead, it kept flying away in a spiral, and now it was nowhere to be found.

If this had been an animation, there could have been a special effect of a twinkling star.

Xue Jing's right arm drooped powerlessly, covered in bruises, almost the entire arm swelling to purple.

Utilizing Whirlwind Thunder, a move with an immense load on the user, repeatedly had left his arm muscles in a dire state.

While quietly circulating his Hidden Dragon Vigor to dispel the bruising, he laughed and said, "Sorry, I didn't control my strength. Let's look for it. If we can't find it, I'll compensate you for the loss."

Captain Void Blade shook her head, "I'm not seeking compensation from you..."

She glanced at Xue Jing's frighteningly bruised arm, "Let's go, get on the plane, we'll send you back to the Hidden Dragon Dojo first. We'll talk about the other things later. Your dojo should have some Secret Medicine specifically for this kind of injury, right?"

Xue Jing thought for a moment, then took out his cell phone from his pocket with his other hand.

It was quite astonishing that the phone had only cracked its screen during such an intense battle, while all other features remained perfectly functional.

After tapping on the phone a few times, he opened the dialing interface and called his homeroom teacher, Du Shiwei.

"Hello, Mr. Du, I've been a bit injured and will have to leave early..."

Mr. Du on the other end of the phone hastily said, "You're busy, you're busy, the teacher understands everything."

"Then thank you, Mr. Du."

Xue Jing laughed.

He hung up the phone and nodded to Captain Void Blade, "Let's go, I appreciate the help, Captain Void Blade."

Captain Void Blade grunted in acknowledgment.

Mountain Demon casually said from the side, "Boss, what about this Crying Feather corpse?"

Captain Void Blade shook her head, "Crying Feather had only joined the team recently, he didn't have any mandatory alien implants to retrieve. Just take his 'Black Belt' back with us. The Public Security Bureau should be here soon, let them handle the body. We'll just bring the Cockroach Monster corpse."

Mountain Demon shrugged his shoulders, "Another team member gone. Captain, should we request for more members from higher up?"

"We'll talk about it later. You've seen Crying Feather's case; newcomers aren't much use... If a few more die, the mortality rate for our team members will be too high, and my end-of-year evaluation will be downgraded."

Xue Jing silently listened to their conversation, internally sighing at White Crow's attitude, which treated the death of a comrade as normal, even indifference.

Soon, Mountain Demon had finished packing up the Cockroach Monster's body.

The group boarded the helicopter, and as the students from Qingcheng Affiliated Middle School watched, the helicopter's engines started, its rotors whipping up a tempest, kicking up countless particles of dust, and slowly ascended into the sky and away.

...

On the helicopter, Xue Jing checked his panel for the gains.

[Meditative Visualization advanced to Lv5 (121/2000)]

Scrolling through a whole slew of notifications, Xue Jing was in pain all over, but inside, he felt like he had gulped down a big spoonful of sweet shaved ice on a hot summer day—painful yet refreshing.

He turned his head to look outside the helicopter.

High in the sky, the vast expanse of Qingcheng was almost entirely within his field of vision. He picked a direction at random, concentrated, and adjusted his focal length, making everything dozens of kilometers away crystal clear.

In an old restaurant, a group of customers were sitting around a table, laughing and talking. The minute expressions on their faces were vividly detailed, and Xue Jing could even guess what they were saying by reading their lips as they spoke.

"This place has really good hotpot, the ingredients are so fresh, Boss Zhang made a good recommendation..."

"I've already talked to Mr. Li; he plans to give us the contract to work on it together..."

Xue Jing withdrew his gaze.

With Aiming at Lv6, the enhancement to his static vision was akin to having high-quality binoculars built in, with a hint of a microscope's functionality as well.

He had a subtle feeling that, if he disregarded air resistance, he could precisely hit an object several kilometers away by throwing a stone from here.

It wasn't just a matter of sight and aiming; the improvement in his Aiming level also brought an increase in his throwing instinct and hand feel.

"About the unfinished buildings in South City that you mentioned, although we haven't found any clues about the Heavenly Lodge Insect Mother yet, we did come across another discovery," said Captain Void Blade from the helicopter.

"After we got there, since the boundary shakes were quite frequent, we conducted some tests and found that the pollution rate of that area has surpassed 10%."

Xue Jing asked in confusion, "Pollution rate?"

It was the first time he had heard the term and did not understand its meaning.

With a slight sigh, Captain Void Blade explained, "This is worrying... the educational level on the Outer Ring. You didn't learn anything at all, did you? The pollution rate refers to the degree of the 'Otherworld's' pollution in our Current World's regions."

"When the Current World and the Otherworld collide, the 'overlapping of the two worlds' occurs. The more severe the overlap, the higher the pollution rate."

"If the two worlds only brush against each other lightly, then only 'boundary shakes' will happen. At that time, the pollution rate will generally be between 1% to 5%, and it quickly returns to 0%."
