I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Xue Jing looked down through the porthole.

This was a city of immense size, even larger than Yuan City within the Inner Ring that Xue Jing had visited before. However, its overall development was not advanced—at least it was somewhat inferior to Yuan City, lacking the modern and futuristic towering skyscrapers.

The aircraft slowly approached the ground.

Snowflakes danced in the streets below, and many local pedestrians looked up.

“Hmm?”

Xue Jing slightly raised his eyebrows, looking thoughtfully at the goosebumps on his arm.

A faint sense of crisis flashed through his mind and quickly disappeared.

Ning Yuantai, oblivious to anything, said to Xue Jing, “Xue, we’ll first land the plane at the Zhi Ge Sub Base in Silver City, then head to No. 9 Examination Hall.”

Xue Jing, leaning his elbow on the armrest and propping his chin, glanced out the window and hummed in agreement, “Let’s do that.”

Ning Yuantai, observing his mysteriously calm demeanor, silently marveled at his coolness and said with a smile, “Alright then.”

A dozen minutes later.

In the northern part of Silver City, within a massive square base surrounded by steel walls,

two young men in tight tactical suits, their impressive physiques outlined, were looking up at the descending aircraft.

One of them with a thick northern accent said,

“The kid from the South must be inside.”

“I recognize this plane; it’s the commander’s, wow, what an honor.”

The other glanced at him and asked,

“What are you thinking?”

“He’s here as an examiner, shouldn’t I test just how good he is? What if he’s not capable enough and holds the kids back?”

“The guy is top-notch from outside our circle; why worry?”

The first crossed his arms and said,

“You know the situation outside too. Even the best talents get wasted there. Who from our side ever made it big after leaving? External areas just can’t nurture talents well.”

“It’s all talk until we see for ourselves.”

The other man took out a cigarette and flicked his fingers near the tip, producing smoke from his fingertip to light it. After taking a couple of drags, which rapidly consumed the cigarette, he exhaled a massive cloud of smoke and said faintly,

“Go easy, he’s underage.”

The excited man said, “You agree then? What if the base commander asks later…”

“It’s none of my business; I know nothing.”

“Why are you always so annoying?”

During their conversation, the plane had successfully landed.

With a hiss, the cabin door opened.

Xue Jing stepped out, looking towards the two men in tactical suits not far ahead.

Ning Yuantai, a step behind, also came out and noticed the two, immediately raising his eyebrows,

“Captain Yang Yingyu… and Vice Captain Zhuang Qiu?”

Xue Jing casually asked, “You know them?”

Ning Yuantai nodded and said, “These two are the squadron leader and the vice squadron leader of our Zhi Ge Six-Five Squadron, well-known within our ranks.”

Inside The Sixth Agency, organizations like White Crow and Zhi Ge were divided into battalions, squadrons, and small squads.

Battalions were identified by individual numbers, like the First Battalion, Second Battalion.

Squadrons had two digits. The first digit indicated to which battalion they belonged, with Six Five Squadron being part of the Sixth Battalion.

Small squads were three-digit numbers; for instance, squad 838 where Void Blade belonged was the eighth small squad under the eighth middle squad of the eighth battalion of White Crow.

“Vice Squadron Leader Yang Yingyu is a widely known Old Martial Break Limit Master, and Vice Captain Zhuang Qiu…”

“Kid, what are you mumbling about?”

The man named Zhuang Qiu called out as he approached, interrupting Ning Yuantai.

Unused to not being called Ning, Ning Yuantai scratched his head, feeling quite awkward and unaccustomed.

“I’m Xue Jing… Captain Yang, Vice Captain Zhuang, hello.” Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

Xue Jing walked up to the two, stopped in front of them, and nodded in greeting.

Though it was customary to refer to positions with due respect to hierarchy, when the senior is present, it was still necessary to add ‘vice’ before addressing the junior.

“Hello.”

Yang Yingyu nodded in response, first shook hands with Xue Jing, and quickly let go.

Then it was Vice Captain Zhuang Qiu. Xue Jing shook hands with him as well, and was about to withdraw his hand when the other party grabbed it tightly.

“…Vice Captain Zhuang, is there something you would like to instruct?”

Xue Jing slightly tilted his head and asked.

Vice Captain Zhuang Qiu’s lips parted, revealing a set of big white teeth:

“Instruction… I wouldn’t call it that.”

“I heard, kid, that you are here to be a judge in our martial arts examination, is that right?”

Xue Jing looked at him and said nothing.

Vice Captain Zhuang Qiu didn’t seem to expect a response, as he gradually began to tighten his grip on Xue Jing’s hand:

“I respect the elderly and love the young and don’t want to see the kids in the circle held back. Although you have gained some fame, I doubt whether outsiders might have praised you too highly. Therefore, I want to test your levels.”

“If I am not satisfied, I will directly report to the higher-ups and advise them to withdraw you from your job… You don’t mind, do you?”

Vice Captain Zhuang Qiu’s words were very direct and straightforward.

Ning Yuantai who was nearby heard this and showed his displeasure. Just as he was about to speak, Xue Jing smiled and spoke first:

“Vice Captain Zhuang.”

His expression remained the same, his tone normal, as serene as gentle clouds and breeze, lacking any intimidation power; yet the words that came out were sharp and pointed:

“With just you, you won’t be able to test it out.”

This statement, completely contrary to his refined appearance and tone, surprised everyone present.

Yang Yingyu’s eyes gleamed with amusement; his previously lukewarm gaze towards Xue Jing warmed slightly.

Ning Yuantai rubbed under his nose with his finger, chuckled a few times, and his face showed triumph.

This was our Xue, skillful in martial arts and fierce in speech, never at a disadvantage, following him was like chasing a thrilling novel, extremely comforting.

“…You really know how to act, kid.”

Vice Captain Zhuang Qiu twitched his mouth corner and suddenly tightened his grip on Xue Jing’s hand!

“Pfft—”

The air between their palms was squeezed out by a tremendous force, emitting a crisp sound, and visibly forming a circular wave of air that spread out, causing the clothes and hair of people around to flutter backward.

This was a very sudden strike, nearly giving no time to prepare.

Vice Captain Zhuang Qiu felt that with his strength, enough to compress a wrist-thick steel into a needle, he could teach this young man a sufficient lesson and make him understand that one shouldn’t speak lightly.

However—

“Click, click, click—”

A strange sound of bones rattling came, and Vice Captain Zhuang Qiu uttered a light ‘eh’, somewhat incredulous.

…Not budging at all.

As if, what he was holding in his hand was not a human palm but a mountain compressed to the size of a palm, no matter how hard he tried, he could not move this mountain at all.

“Vice Captain Zhuang, you can exert more force.”

Xue Jing spoke indifferently.

“With just this level of strength, what can you test out?”

Hearing these words, Vice Captain Zhuang Qiu clenched his teeth and his face turned red with strain; his whole arm’s veins bulged as it began to tremble slightly.

From where the two stood, the concrete floor cracked open, the fissures spreading outward as the floor subtly vibrated.

As Vice Captain Zhuang Qiu exerted force, his body gradually curled up from his normal standing posture, his initially tall stature shrinking a head shorter than Xue Jing.

Looking down at him from above for a while, Xue Jing spoke without a fluctuation in his tone, “Vice Captain Zhuang, you have exerted your full effort.”

Saying so, Xue Jing suddenly twisted his wrist.

Today, his body’s endurance was not like before; deploying the Hidden Dragon School’s Whirlwind Thunder, a technique theoretically capable of infinitely compressing strength, he could unleash more than six times his usual burst strength.

Along with the Twin Lifes’ double force and the support of the Nirvana Technique’s Lion King’s Great Strength… Even though he still had several techniques to enhance his strength that he hadn’t used, he was already terrifyingly powerful.

Vice Captain Zhuang Qiu, with his palm being twisted by Xue Jing as the starting point, showed a twisted spiral pattern on his skin, wrist, forearm, upper arm, shoulder, body… all the way up, the sturdy tactical suit was directly shredded, and in the end, only a pair of underpants remained on his body as he spun wildly in the air like a fan.

A massive horizontal tornado spontaneously formed, sweeping up all small objects like dust, fallen leaves, and gravel around it.

“Smack—!”

Only after spinning in the air for over twenty seconds did Vice Captain Zhuang Qiu fall to the ground, face down with a smack, motionless.
