I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

"But just speaking of the existing data, each one is an undoubted perfect score of ten!"

"Moreover, according to popular opinion, most who witnessed Competitor Xue Jing's appearance gave the same evaluation!"

— "Your data is a 10 because it just reaches 10, Xue Jing's data is a 10 because the highest possible is only 10!"

"Such evaluations clearly show the audience's recognition of his spectacular performance!"

It was as if he had been assigned a task from above, the commentator's voice passionately and continuously introduced Xue Jing.

"So no more small talk, the competitors are in place, let us together witness this amazing showdown!"

Upon hearing these words, the referee who had been standing by the big platform immediately came between the two, raising his hand and waving between them.

"The match... begins!"

"Dang—"

The bell that symbolized the start of the match rang.

A faint blue light membrane, almost invisible, covered the entire platform like an inverted bowl.

Xue Jing made no move initially.

With his arms crossed, the Forgotten Greatsword stood beside him planted in the ground like King Arthur's sword in the stone.

"Shady Girl, come, let me experience your all-out effort," Xue Jing said softly.

Yin Muhu did not respond, but took a deep breath, pulling a large volume of oxygen into her lungs; her chest and abdomen swelled.

Then—"Boom!"

Her entire body emitted numerous light golden steams, enveloping her, making it appear as if she was wrapped in pulsating golden flames.

"This is..."

Xue Jing was slightly stunned.

In the midst of the light golden flaming steam, Yin Muhu's originally huge and muscular form visibly began to shrink.

The knotted, bulky muscles slowly compressed, and the hard lines gradually faded away.

The full breasts, originally obscured by the muscles, began to reveal their distinct contours.

Her wrists and thighs gradually thinned, her skin slowly lightened, turning tender and fair.

The muscles on her head also dissolved, revealing her originally delicate neck, and her fine features no longer twisted by muscle.

Before long, the muscular monster of a woman had disappeared, and what appeared in the arena was a beautifully figured, pretty young lady.

This scene immediately made everyone's eyes widen.

"Holy cow, what a transformation!"

"Wait, she was such a beauty?!"

"What happened to that muscle woman? Was it some kind of biological armor that's been taken off now?"

"What the heck, that contrast is just too absurd!"

Not caring about the stares and noise from the others, Yin Muhu stretched out her hands, tearing the now overly large sleeves and trouser legs of her martial arts uniform because of her slimmed figure, and then untying and retightening the belt, transforming it into a fitted vest and shorts.

Her body burned with golden flames as she assumed a fighting stance, staring straight at Xue Jing.

"This is the Mystic Art that belongs only to me—Vajra Unleashed·True Self!"

The sweet, youthful voice finally matched her appearance.

Xue Jing looked at the beautiful young woman in front of him in admiration, saying, "Impressive."

He did not mind the change in Yin Muhu's appearance; he admired her achievements in martial arts.

A Mystic Art-level burst skill she had reached.

This was a realm even Xue Jing had not yet reached; he was still semi-clueless about how to comprehend 'Mystic Art·Inverse Scales,' not having any leads.

And yet, Yin Muhu had already gone beyond him.

Of course, with his eye power, he had already discerned that unlike 'Inverse Scales,' which could be used any time, Yin Muhu's 'Vajra Unleashed·True Self' was a pre-setup Mystic Art that required a long time to accumulate.

Burning herself, using the accumulation in some areas as a sacrifice, she burst forth with power beyond her own limits.

Although the conditions for use were stringent, correspondingly, the boost in fighting power was also immensely high.

"Shady Girl, you really surprised me..."

"Xue, be careful."

As soon as the words were spoken, Yin Muhu disappeared from the spot with a swoosh, vanishing at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"Bang——!!"

With a loud explosion, Xue Jing's fist made contact with Yin Muhu's, creating a fierce storm of airflow that spread outwards.

The impact should have made it impossible for the audience to keep their eyes open, but as the airflow hit the pale blue light membrane, it rippled slightly and then dissipated, having no effect on anything outside the ring.

"Such a heavy punch..." Xue Jing raised his eyebrow.

Just in terms of the sheer force of the punch, Yin Muhu was now almost evenly matched with him.

"But it's not just about the force of the punches..."

"Bang bang bang bang——!!"

The two in the ring started grappling, their figures almost turning into blurs of light, constantly exchanging blows all over the ring at a high-speed rate of several times per second.

The audience was dazzled, unable to keep up with the pace, but thankfully, there were slow-motion replays shot by high-speed cameras on a nearby screen, albeit with some delay, it allowed for a clearer view.

"Puh—"

Xue Jing blocked Yin Muhu's punch with his forearm, and the force attached to the punch snaked around his arm like a living thing, targeting his chest.

"Adamantine Perfect Force..."

Xue Jing narrowed his eyes.

Just as he was about to react, the Extreme Strength dispersed, transforming into numerous needle-like forces, targeting his vital points.

This was an almost indefensible strike, and Xue Jing had no good countermeasure but to muster his own energy forcefully, blocking the numerous steel needles.

But by doing so, his exhaustion far exceeded that of Yin Muhu.

"If that's the case..." Xue Jing thought, beginning to change his fighting strategy.

No longer competing in the skillful use of energy with Yin Muhu, in which Vajra Wishful Hand excelled, Xue Jing, despite possessing a True Martial Body and being adaptable in channeling energy as well as the Vajra Wishful Body, was not well-practiced in this area.

With a sweep of his right arm, he flung Yin Muhu away, his whole body igniting with colorful flames.

"Shoo——!"

The already high-speed battle escalated another level in speed!

Even though Yin Muhu had anticipated Xue Jing's move "Flames Connecting Colors" and remained on guard, when she actually faced it, she was still startled.

There was simply no time to react... or rather, even knowing it was coming was useless as her body couldn't keep up.

"Puh—"

As the flame light passed, a dull pain emanated from her abdomen, and Yin Muhu was shot away like an arrow released from the bowstring.

She hit the light membrane above the ring, creating ripples, before coming to a stop.

"Repulsion Membrane..."

Her body hadn't recovered from the impact when the colorful flame light pulled in front of her again.

"Protecting the World's Four Heavens·Argillite Repelling!"

Yin Muhu's eyes flashed, her body erupting in golden flames.

"Hm?" Xue Jing's instincts alerted him, and without hesitation, he switched to going all-out.

Skin, Flesh, Tendons, Bones, Blood operated in unison, unleashing Hidden Dragon School's ultimate move.

"Mystic Art·Vital Point!"

"Roar——!!"

The earth-shaking roar of a dragon reverberated throughout the arena, leaving the audience numb, frozen in place, unable to even move their eyeballs.

The all-penetrating strike thundered towards Yin Muhu, the golden column of Qi energy unstoppable, punching a spiral hole the size of a fist through her slender waist.

'Vital Point' did not linger, continuing to strike the 'Repulsion Membrane' behind her, creating tidal wave-like massive ripples, spreading across the entire membrane.

But the membrane remained intact, unbroken.

Yin Muhu spit out a mouthful of crystal-clear blood and her body slowly slid down.
