Countless roots around were visibly withering at a noticeable speed.
Xue Jing took a step forward, walking toward the black-robed woman bound into a bundle by the Shadowfla Steel Barrier, the black semi-transparent giant wrapped around his body slowly dissipated into shadow flas as he advanced.
The na was Nagu... so sort of plant that was gradually withering, no longer absorbing oxygen, and the thin oxygen density around was imdiately replenished by the outside world, becoming abundant again.
Xue Jing took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, feeling his body revitalizing, and whispered, "Fortunately, I won."
The situation was quite dire this ti.
He had indeed never really considered, soday facing a situation where oxygen was limited and he couldn't use his power.
"Even if the martial arts sect you practice is all-powerful, it cannot escape the frawork of the system and cannot rid itself of the limitations of martial arts itself," he reflected.
"Unless one reaches the breakthrough realm of 'Leaping Through the Dragon Gate, Turning Celestial,' where consciousness and spirit themselves can control any minute part of the body, then it's possible to escape oxygen limitations and use the power without the need for oxygen..."
"Before that, I indeed need to be cautious whether the enemy possesses the ability to interfere with oxygen."
He looked at the black-robed woman lying on the ground in a baby-like sleep and smiled, "Should I say that cleverness was mistaken by cleverness?"
Using roots of otherworld plants that absorb oxygen to deal with him would indeed be a killing move if he were just a martial artist.
However, the opponent couldn't possibly imagine that he also possessed a divine skill like 'Shadow Fla.'
The countless roots, although absorbing oxygen, also blocked the sunlight, creating a vast area of shade, which in turn provided him with the perfect environnt to use Shadow Fla.
The larger the area of shade around, the more Shadow Fla he could convert, and the smaller the consumption.
Were it not for such a vast area of shade, he could not have used it so recklessly, even employing the bizarre move 'Susanoo,' creating a giant made of the strongest Shadow Fla.
"Fair to say, this move is pretty useful," Xue Jing touched his chin.
As long as the Shadow Fla budget allows, this move is the strongest use of Shadow Fla right now.
"Big is good, plentiful is beautiful!"
Operating a Gundam was too joyful.
Although he couldn't operate a big one yet, with the upgrades of Shadow Fla, one day he would operate a real Gundam.
Xue Jing silently raised the usage priority of Shadow Fla's divinity by one notch.
He opened the panel and took a look.
[...Fitness Experience Points 611]
[...Health Cultivation Experience Value 1539]
[...Running Experience Value 315]
[...Aiming Experience Value 458]
[...Fighting Experience Points 512]
[...Hidden Dragon Energy Experience Points 433]
[...Visualization True Experience Value 422]
[...Acting Experience Points 498]
[Acting raised to Lv2 (267/500)]
Xue Jing nodded.
Although it wasn't a fight to the death, the Experience Points gained were quite good.
After all, he was facing an opponent whose combat power was quite formidable, the strongest he had actually fought so far.
As he didn't win through martial arts, the martial arts-related Experience Points gained were slightly less, but still pretty good.
The gain in Health Cultivation Experience Value was a bit outrageous...
[Health Cultivation Lv7 (4486/4500)]
Just a bit shy of leveling up directly.
"The secret to longevity and health cultivation for n—operating a Gundam."
Smiling, Xue Jing crouched down in front of the fallen black-robed woman, a thoughtful look in his eyes:
"What should I do with her?"
Just kill her?
That would be unnecessary, as the woman had no intent to kill him, just wanted him to join her religion, although forcefully which was quite annoying.
But letting her go just like that was obviously not an option.
"She was instructed by the high ranks of the Flower God Society to find , at the very least, I need to figure out why the Flower God Society is targeting ."
Xue Jing considered several possibilities internally.
"Speaking of which, this person is a Blessed One..."
Blessed Ones are those blessed by gods, who have obtained Heretic God powers.
Having such a direct connection with a god, there has to be sothing divine, right?
Xue Jing's eyes lit up as he looked over the black-robed woman.
Then he reached out, touching her mature and beautiful face.
His fingers touched the eyelid of her left eye, forcibly pulling it open to reveal the colorful iris.
At the end of the fight, Xue Jing had seen the black-robed woman reaching toward this iris, seemingly about to do sothing.
If there was anything likely to have divinity on her body, Xue Jing imdiately thought of this.
With the eyelid pulled open, and because she was unconscious, the colorful eye looked unfocused and empty.
Without any hesitation or psychological barrier, Xue Jing's finger pressed directly on the colorful pupil.
"Gurgle—"
A slippery sensation was transmitted, and at the sa ti, the panel automatically popped up.
[Detecting Divine Substance, absorbing Divinity...]
Indeed! Xue Jing raised an eyebrow.
He opened the panel.
The divinity value started to rise rapidly, several points per second.
"It seems the gain will be quite good—wait, this!?"
Xue Jing's eyes suddenly widened slightly.
He saw, in the divine skills section, under [Twin Lifes][Shadow Fla], strands of pale golden light continuously erging, flowing out, and gathering together.
This phenonon, he had encountered it twice before.
"A new divine skill!?"
Xue Jing was astonished.
Years had passed... over a month, and finally, a new divine skill was about to activate?
Considering the strong performance of Twin Lifes and Shadow Fla, Xue Jing, since activating [Visualize], rarely found himself restless and unable to control his emotions.
