Miao Miao woke up the mont she was shaken off the mattress. According to the Butter Cat Paradox, even without fully coming to her senses, she gracefully flipped in midair and landed on all four paws.
"…Jing, what are you doing."
The cat's face showed a humanized dissatisfaction.
Xue Jing blinked and casually said, "It's nothing, just a leg cramp."
A leg cramp?
Miao Miao's mouth twitched.
"Can't be bothered with you."
She leaned forward, raised her butt, stretched lazily, jumped back onto the bed, pressed her front paws under Xue Jing's armpits to find a comfortable position, curled up her body, and lay down.
"Just don't cramp up again," she said with a pout.
Xue Jing chuckled and shook his head while petting Miao Miao, looking at the panel only he could see in front of him.
"Skill Fusion…"
"Ban, why didn't you ntion this feature earlier?"
Xue Jing cald his sowhat excited heart and looked towards the conditions for Skill Fusion.
Fighting Lv10, Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength Lv10, and Divinity 1000…
"Compared to Skill Sublimation's mysterious conditions, Skill Fusion's conditions are much friendlier, giving specific conditions directly, and they're also not difficult, now just lacking ten thousand experience points for Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength…"
Thinking further, Xue Jing felt sothing was amiss.
"No, the actual difficulty of Skill Fusion is probably tougher than Sublimation; the real challenge is not in the three stated conditions, but in the 'trigger conditions'."
"Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength is a specialized skill that has undergone two specializations; it is very rare to obtain this skill itself."
"Moreover, it's after I underwent a Sudden Enlightennt of 'Eye-Dotting' that I triggered the fusion conditions, and this level of enlightennt itself is also a challenge."
"There might also be issues like the compatibility between the two skills…"
His gaze then fell on the Divinity condition.
"1000 points… Sa as the Divinity requirent for Sublimation. It seems that the skill level after fusion is of the sa rank as after sublimation?"
Xue Jing was filled with anticipation.
Fighting and Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength, these two skills directly related to his combat ability. What changes would occur once they fused?
"Soon, just ten thousand Experience Points, and I'll have it within a few days!"
He clenched his fists and closed his eyes to inspect his body internally.
Having reached Lv10 in Fighting, his body structure had changed again, becoming more suited to combat.
"Feels like I'm hardly human anymore… could practically claim my own combatant race lineage," Xue Jing thought to himself.
If he had used Eye-Dotting before reaching Lv10 in Fighting like Li Qi said, it would probably have killed him on the spot.
Now, though… he should survive, probably just with severe injuries?
"Ti to sleep, need to store up energy for tomorrow's grind!"
…
The next morning, after Xue Jing woke up, he washed up, had breakfast, and imdiately took a taxi to the Hidden Dragon Dojo.
He went straight to his training room and began preparing for his practice.
Following the daily routine, he practiced the Flesh and Spleen Training Section of the Armor Shaking Skill today.
With a thought, sparks flickered on his forehead, forming two Lightning Dragon Horns, and silvery-white Dragon Thunder enveloped his body.
Ten tis the gravity imdiately pressed evenly upon his body.
Feeling the heavy pressure, Xue Jing felt much more relaxed than before… Lv10 in Fighting had strengthened his physical resilience.
He roughly estimated his condition and thought he could handle a bit more gravity.
The mont that thought arose, the silvery-white Dragon Thunder wrapped around him intensified, increasing the gravity again by two tis, making it twelve tis.
"Hmm, this should be the current limit," Xue Jing nodded.
The current level of his [Dragon Horn], could impose up to fifteen tis the gravity on an object.
"Alright, let's start."
He took a deep breath, activated his power, and began the strenuous practice of the Armor Shaking Skill.
Over an hour later, Xue Jing collapsed on the floor, having gained 625 Experience Points for Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength.
After resting for a while, he forcefully repaired his damaged body using Life Force and Dragon Thunder Electrotherapy, and continued to practice the Armor Shaking Skill.
Only after having practiced three tis consecutively did he end up sprawled on the floor in the training room, unable to even crawl.
The entire training room looked like it had been flooded, the floor soaked with his sweat.
Surrounding him were over twenty empty mineral water bottles.
It wasn't until twenty minutes later that he finally regained his strength, opened the panel, and saw that his Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength had gained nearly two thousand Experience Points.
"...This won't do. Although it's fast, if I keep pushing myself this hard, life force recovery won't keep up, and I feel like it might shorten my lifespan."
Xue Jing thought, sweating profusely.
"Practicing the Armor Shaking Skill under twelve tis gravity three tis in a row was a bit too much, better to stick to twice a day... and do sothing else to gain more experience for Wishful Strength."
After resting for quite a while, Xue Jing got up, stretched lazily, and went to wash in the dojo's bathroom.
After coming out of the bathroom, when Xue Jing returned to the training room, disciples had already helped clean up all the sweat inside.
However, a little girl just over one ter forty in height had appeared in the now clean training room. She was lying on the floor, seemingly sniffing it with her nose.
"...What are you doing?"
Xue Jing asked with a puzzled tone.
Zong Shichan sat up, blinked her eyes, and the beauty mark at the corner of her eye was quite eye-catching.
"This is where Master usually practices martial arts... I'm trying to absorb Master's aura."
As she spoke, a hint of regret appeared on her tender little face:
"But it seems to have no scent, what a pity."
Xue Jing twitched his mouth and said speechlessly:
"You little weirdo, can't you be a bit more normal?"
He walked to the middle of the training room and sat down cross-legged.
Zong Shichan scooted over to him, her face beaming, embraced him, and cooed, "Master~~"
Xue Jing casually said, "Didn't I tell you I can't teach you much? Why aren't you going to your grandmaster instead of coming to ?"
"I ca here this morning and didn't dare to disturb you while you were practicing martial arts. I only ca over after I saw you go to take a bath."
Zong Shichan, sniffing the scent of Xue Jing, said blissfully.
"Master, you sll so good."
Xue Jing pushed her head away with his hand, "Are you a dog or sothing?"
Zong Shichan blinked, imdiately put her hands on both cheeks, and acted cute, "Woof~"
For a mont, Xue Jing almost hallucinated a tail wagging like a fan on her buttocks.
...Indeed, she's not a dog, she's a Xue Wan.
After thinking a bit, he spoke:
"Since I have beco your master, I can at least teach you the basics of Hidden Dragon School's Coiling Dragon Art."
"Stretch out your hand."
Zong Shichan exclaid joyfully, "Really? Thank you, Master!"
She imdiately stretched out her right hand.
Due to her young age, though she was thin, her hand still retained so baby fat.
Xue Jing grabbed her hand, channeled Power, and flicked it like flinging noodles.
Lv9 Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength, allowing him to elevate his control of Power to a new level, already able to perform fine control over soone else's body with Power like Li Qi.
Under his control, Zong Shichan imdiately assud the posture standing practice of Coiling Dragon Art.
"Rember this feeling..."
The little girl herself had a strong martial arts foundation and high talent. She effortlessly switched from practicing Tiger Soul to Hidden Dragon School, and began practicing it skillfully.
Xue Jing nodded, correcting a few minor mistakes of hers.
Half an hour later, Zong Shichan finished practicing and eagerly asked Xue Jing:
"Master, how did I do?"
Xue Jing humd, "It should be okay, I guess?"
He only had one reference, which was himself, so he wasn't quite sure about these.
After all, he had mastered it perfectly on his first try.
"Master teaches so well~" Zong Shichan flattered.
Just as Xue Jing was about to speak, the panel suddenly popped up a notification.
[Condition t, skill activated: Teaching]
[Teaching Lv1: (0/300)]
...
