I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Controlling the pale golden Qi-powered avatar, Xue Jing made it keep walking forward.

Until it reached over thirty meters away... This was the farthest distance Xue Jing could control his Qi-powered clone.

But with the upgraded Visualization True, his spiritual power had a stronger hold on the Qi Force, and the distance finally surpassed this limit.

Step by step, the Qi avatar moved forward, and it was close to forty meters when Xue Jing finally felt the limit of his control.

He had the Qi avatar stand still, posing in a Straight Punch stance on the spot.

"Whoosh—!"

With a swing of a Straight Punch, the avatar let out a faint sharp sound, creating a tiny spiral airflow that continued forward.

The Qi-powered clone was shaped after Xue Jing's own body, and a normally sized clone had virtually the same attack power as Xue Jing himself.

However, this ten-centimeter Qi avatar was a thousand times smaller in mass compared to the normal-sized clone, and thus its attack power and other qualities were also reduced by a thousandfold.

"It can only be used for some sneaky and strange tasks..."

As he tested the effects of the upgraded Visualization True, Xue Jing returned to the contestant's rest area.

"Brother Xue... I'm thankful for your mercy."

As soon as he entered the door, Yin Muhu, who was waiting in the rest area, turned his head and bowed to Xue Jing.

Having watched the live broadcast of the recent match, and seeing the extremely fast and powerful 'Thunder Plough Hot Knife', Yin Muhu immediately realized that his strength paled in comparison to Xue Jing's more than he had imagined.

If Xue Jing had wanted, even he in his 'Vajra Unleashed·True Self Form' would most likely have been defeated in one strike.

"Poor Dai Zongnian... He is about to turn 19, and he pushed himself to the limit to participate in the U19. Next year he won't be able to participate due to age restrictions."

"He finally made it to the finals, only to have the misfortune of facing Little Jing and couldn't even make it to the top eight. He has ended up as the backdrop of the fastest match record, which is really tragic."

Jiang Siwei adjusted her glasses and shrugged.

"To be taken as a disciple by that Martial Saint was unfortunate enough... Maybe there really is such a thing as fate in this world," Yin Muhu said.

Jiang Siwei patted the nonexistent dust off Xue Jing's clothes and smiled:

"You did very well this time too, Little Jing, you really are amazing... You don't need to worry about those external factors. Just keep winning, and you can silence all the voices."

She was a bit concerned that Xue Jing would be affected by the cursing and mocking voices online and in the venue.

"I know, don't worry, Sister Wei," Xue Jing smiled and replied.

The second match of the top sixteen soon began.

This was Zhou Yinglin versus someone unknown to Xue Jing.

Also resolved in a second with an Impeccable strike, it displayed an absolute gap in strength from other contestants, and the cheers from the audience were incredibly loud.

Xue Jing also went to the special area for contestants to watch this match and once again collected some data on Impeccable, filling the gaps in the 'Zhou Yinglin' Consciousness Simulation.

Afterward, he left in Ning Yuantai's car and returned to Zhige Base.

"There are three days of rest up next."

Xue Jing calculated and felt that there was plenty of time, just enough to handle some matters.

Such as... the task entrusted by Youqing A Dream.

Before he left for Yuan City, Wu Youqing had him visit Qing University Library, informed him of Zhou Yinglin's situation, and asked him for another favor.

The timeline shifts back a few days.

...

"In addition, I have a favor to ask of you when you go to Yuan City this time," said Wu Youqing.

Xue Jing nodded and said, "Sure."

Wu Youqing smiled and retorted, "I haven't even said what it is yet and you're already agreeing? What if I was asking you to go to your death? Would you still agree?"

Xue Jing waved his hand:

"As long as it's something you, Boss, entrust to me, I wouldn't hesitate to ascend a mountain of swords or descend into a sea of flames. If I so much as frown, you can give your daughter my last name!"

Wu Youqing first nodded, quite satisfied, but then suddenly realized something was off about Xue Jing's statement.

Her heart skipped a beat, but her face remained unchanged; she just showed a look of annoyance and lightly tapped Xue Jing's head with the hardcover book in her hand.

"Stop taking advantage of me, you slick talker."

Xue Jing chuckled and said, "So, what's the favor?"

Wu Youqing stretched out her hand to smooth her soft, long hair and said softly,

"Sky Center... You know about it, right?"

Xue Jing nodded.

Even if he wasn't very familiar with the situation in the Inner Ring, he still knew about this universally known miracle in human architectural history.

"The Sky Center of the Fifth Urban Circle is available for public purchase, and to date, nearly seven thousand floors have been sold,"

Wu Youqing said.

"And among these seven thousand floors, the 1002nd to 1102nd levels have been monopolized by a super corporation... called 'Xu's Biology'."

"You should still remember the man you encountered on your first Divine Relic containment mission,"

Xue Jing thought back for a moment and nodded.

After containing the "Crown of the Wicked Woman," a man had jumped out demanding the Divine Relic, which Xue Jing ended up burning to death with Shadow Flame, marking the first person he had ever killed in his life.

"I've investigated that man afterward, he was a 'C-Level Custodian' from 'Xu's Containment Company'..."

"And 'Xu's Shelter,' just like 'Xu's Biology,' is one of the industries owned by the Xu Family within the Thirteen Great Families,"

Wu Youqing said slowly, explaining everything in detail.

"A significant portion of the Divine Relics contained by 'Xu's Containment Company' end up in 'Xu's Biology'... I need you to infiltrate the Xu's Biology-owned levels at the Sky Center and help me find a Divine Relic. Steal it, or snatch it if you must."

Xue Jing nodded; this task didn't seem too difficult for him, so he asked,

"What is the Divine Relic?"

Wu Youqing answered, "GOD-098·Wind of All Beginnings."

...

Recalling the Divine Relic mentioned by Wu Youqing, Xue Jing's fingers tapped incessantly on the armrest of the sofa.

GOD-098...

To this day, Xue Jing had not yet seen a Divine Relic ranked within the top three hundred with his own eyes.

Although he had come into contact with GOD-005·Mirror World, that was just one of the countless facets of [Mirror World].

Apart from the Mirror World, the most concrete information he had about a top hundred Divine Relic was GOD-035·Giant God Machina... something unlikely to be fully assembled.

This reflected the mystery and power of a top hundred ranked Divine Relic.

And now, he had to steal one himself.

"I need to prepare well and do some reconnaissance first,"

he thought and took out his phone to make a call to Ning Yuantai, inviting him for dinner at his house.

The latter readily agreed, thrilled.

Miao Miao, upon hearing Xue Jing make a call, stirred from her sleep and looked up groggily at Xue Jing.

But she was soon picked up by Xue Jing and, with his excellent petting technique along her fur, she comfortably fell back into a deep sleep before long.

After taking Miao Miao up to the bedroom to sleep, Xue Jing went downstairs to prepare dinner.

Ning Yuantai arrived soon after, wiping out all the dishes like a whirlwind, and then sat on the sofa picking his teeth contentedly.

"Yuantai, I have a favor to ask of you,"

Xue Jing said in a soft voice.

Ning Yuantai was always ready to comply with Xue Jing's requests, especially after being treated to a meal, and immediately patted his chest with a generous smile,

"Just say the word. Command me to scale mountains and dive into seas of fire. If even a frown crosses my face..."

Xue Jing, feeling the speech was a tad familiar, quickly stopped him and said,

"There's no need to scale mountains. It's like this..."

Obviously, he couldn't mention the theft of the Divine Relic; Xue Jing only mentioned that he hoped to visit Xu's Biology in the Sky Center as he had heard it contained many Divine Relics.

Ning Yuantai knew about Xue Jing's fondness for Divine Relics, so he did not suspect anything and simply nodded, saying,

"I have some connections with the Xu family. I'll try to get in touch... Don't worry, Xue, even if it means leveraging my contacts at The Sixth Agency, I'll make sure you get to take a tour of Xu's Biology!"
