I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

He yanked the nine-chi spear from the chest of "Li Chengxuan" before his face, and with a fierce swing to the side,

the spear glow that extended out several meters swept over a dozen cockroach monsters, tracing a pale golden fan-shaped trajectory as it bisected their torsos, and dark green viscous fluid spilled everywhere.

The long spear danced in his hands, leaving a trail of afterimages as he stabbed or swept his opponents to death without pause.

Soon, there were no enemies left on the battlefield, and Xue Jing pointed his long spear sideways towards the ground, his entire body—face, chest, abdomen... everywhere was covered in deep "wounds". However, no blood flowed out; instead, boiling Dark Flame continuously burned at the wounds.

As the black miasma transformed into Dark Flames and filled in his injuries, Xue Jing quickly returned to a state of complete wholeness, with not even his clothing damaged.

Thanks to the new function of Shadow Flame, "Elementalization", Xue Jing had been calm and composed from start to finish, effortlessly dealing with all the enemies present without dodging or flinching.

"...This new ability is quite the cheat."

"Although I don't know if there's any specialized attack in reality that could target me... but at least 'Dragon Thunder' and other magical attacks can't break through my 'Elementalization'."

"The only problem is, the consumption is too great."

Xue Jing frowned slightly.

Invincible, yes, but not without limits.

After being annihilated by countless attacks for the second time, turning into nothingness before recongregating his body, he discovered that Shadow Flame's "Blue Bar" was almost depleted.

This was a Level 8 Shadow Flame... Ever since upgrading to Level 4, Xue Jing had used it in various epic battles, rarely ever depleting it completely—as long as there was enough shadow area around, the Blue Bar would grow considerably.

But now, even though it had reached Level 8, with a Blue Bar length more than doubled compared to Level 4, the Shadow Flame was drained dry after a few uses of Elementalization.

If this wasn't the Consciousness Space, where Xue Jing could replenish the Blue Bar with just a thought, it would be impossible to stand so arrogantly still and pierce through all his enemies in reality.

"However, that's okay. The consumption of 'Elementalization' varies depending on the extent of the injury... Although repairing my entire body would drain the Blue Bar in just two tries, if it's just the head, I can use it at least five or six times."

Xue Jing calculated.

"In that case, in an emergency, I can use my life force to heal trivial wounds, saving a bit whenever possible, and reserve 'Elementalization' for unavoidable fatal hits..."

"Regardless, with this new ability, my survival capabilities have jumped several levels, I don't know how many extra lives I've got now. Other than not being able to delay resurrection, and not being at full strength immediately after, it's even more useful than 'Twin Lifes'!"

Xue Jing took a deep breath and, with a thought, exited the Consciousness Space.

"Next up, just wait for the U19 finals in a few days."

...

Fifth Urban Circle, Yuan City.

In a skyscraper boasting a hundred floors, with pale golden windows and a myriad of colorful holographic advertisements constantly spinning around it,

inside a room at the topmost floor, by the floor-to-ceiling windows, stood a young man with youthful features and sharp eyes like an eagle's.

At first glance, his appearance was unremarkable; dressed in a white hotel robe, with a height just over 1.8 meters, apart from his eyes and his slightly longer-than-average arms reaching past his knees, there was nothing particularly special about him.

Only those in the know could comprehend just how extraordinarily talented and prestigious this young man was.

A middle-aged man stood not far behind the youth, placing his hands respectfully in front and slightly fidgety, his expression tense.

The disciple of "Eternal Warlord" the "Gun Saint" Wu Xuanzhu... That title alone was enough to make anyone who understood what it implied feel weak at the knees.

And that was not the sole aura about him; he was also from the Zhu Family of Capital City, one of the Quad Noble Families within the Thirteen Great Families...

Though not from the direct line, he had a background that was terrifying in its own right, and was close friends since childhood with Zhudai Shou, the third-born direct descendant of another of the Thirteen Great Families...

And if you added his other titles, such as "Vice-President of Martial Artists Association Night City Branch", "Eastern United Youth Martial Alliance Leader", and "Core member of the Secret Martial Society"...

Any one of these identities or titles, were beyond the reach of ordinary youth... and something most people couldn't achieve in a lifetime.

With such an aggregation of glory in one being suddenly summoning him for a private meeting, the middle-aged man felt immense pressure, covered in cold sweat, fearing that he had somehow offended this dignitary without realizing.

As time passed and the youth remained silent, simply staring out the window, the pressure on the middle-aged man grew heavier.

Just as he was about to faint from hyperventilation due to the pressure, the young man precisely pinpointed that extreme moment and spoke softly,

"Mr. Li, what are you standing there for? Please, take a seat."

With these words, as if by some magical power, the man named Li Ziyuan felt as if he had gulped down a chilled fruit juice on a scorching summer day, and all the pressure dissipated in an instant, leaving him extremely relaxed.

It was as if the previous intangible huge pressure had never existed.

Although his physiology relaxed, Li Ziyuan's heart grew even more cautious.

He might not practice martial arts, but as the person in charge of the U19 Unlimited Elite Fighting Tournament, even without martial arts training, he had a sufficient understanding of martial arts and various systems.
