Chapter 188: Ultimate Technique - Dotting the Eye! Pure Destructive Power, Skill Fusion! (4K)



With such an incident occurring, the grand banquet was naturally called off.

Zong JinKui explained the situation to all the guests, and everyone expressed their understanding and left, except for a few who were extremely close to him.

Xue Jing and Meng QingJiao were, of course, among those who stayed.

The grand banquet became an intimate family gathering, slightly cold and less festive, but much more relaxed.

During the meal, Xue Jing also chatted with Zong JinKui about the issues concerning the Golden Wind Dojo.

Zong JinKui was extremely angry at the dojo for daring to kidnap his granddaughter and attempting to silence them after being discovered.

But when Xue Jing asked him what he planned to do, Zong JinKui fell silent for a moment before replying, "Nothing."

"The destruction of the Golden Wind Dojo is inevitable and should happen soon. It's a complicated matter... Xiao Jing, it's best if you stay out of it too."

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

Zong JinKui picked up a large bowl filled with liquor and drank it in one go as if it were water, his expression unchanged.

He thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "I heard a little about it from QingSheng. It seems the Golden Wind Dojo is involved in the struggle between the 'Company' and the 'Officials'..."

QingSheng referred to Lin QingSheng, Zong JinKui's successful disciple who had established a Tiger Spirit branch in the Inner Ring Source City.

"The situation now is like having gods fighting in the heavens, and the Golden Wind Dojo is but a pawn in one of their games... It's best to stay far away from it all."

Xue Jing nodded, "I understand. Thank you for the advice, Elder Zong."

Zong JinKui's suggestion was the same as Xu Blade's earlier warning—to stay out of the Golden Wind Dojo's affairs.

Xue Jing was no fool and would certainly heed their advice.

However, ever since he started his martial arts journey, the Golden Wind Dojo had caused him no end of trouble, and this time, he had single-handedly defeated six of their personally taught disciples.

He wondered what Jiao HongYuan's reaction would be.

But it didn't matter; he would face whatever came his way.

Jiao HongYuan, having been seriously injured by Meng Bo's 'Dotting the Eye' strike, was no longer at his peak. Even if he took action himself, Xue Jing was confident he could handle it.

With his array of abilities—Twin Births, Shadowflame, Dragon Sakura, Dragon Horn—Xue Jing himself didn't know how strong he had become.

He estimated that as long as it wasn't a Limit-Breaking Sifu level expert, he should be able to manage it.

"Master, eat this. It's delicious."

Sitting by Xue Jing's side, Zong SiChan had pulled her chair close to his, her body almost touching his as she continuously served him food.

After filling a bowl for him, she stopped eating herself and just held her cheeks in her hands, staring at Xue Jing as if fantasizing about something. From time to time, she would let out a giggle, revealing her cute little tiger teeth.

Xue Jing was used to her quirky behavior and paid it no mind. He pushed the bowl filled with food towards Meng QingJiao, who was devouring her meal, and fed her everything.

Zong SiChan: "..."

Does love disappear, or does it just transfer?

...

After the banquet, the guests took their leave happily.

Xue Jing declined Zong JinKui and Zong SiChan's request to stay the night and bid farewell to the Tiger Spirit group before leaving with Meng QingJiao in the deep red convertible. They sped back to the Dragonhide Dojo.

The two took the elevator up to the dojo and made their way to the Tranquility Room.

"Master..."

Xue Jing began recounting everything that had happened at the banquet to Li Qi.

After listening, Li Qi stroked his beard and said, "I expected something would happen, but I didn't think it would involve those scoundrels from the Golden Wind Dojo again."

"By killing so many of their personally taught disciples, you've created an unresolvable blood feud. It seems we'll have to find a way to eliminate Jiao HongYuan and put an end to this."

Xue Jing said, "Master, about that..."

He repeated what Zong JinKui had said and added, "I think it's best if we stay out of it for now."

Li Qi nodded thoughtfully, "If that's the case, then we'll leave it be for now."

He then looked at Xue Jing and smiled, "Xiao Jing, we have you to thank for easing Zong JinKui's tension."

Xue Jing shook his head, "I'm your disciple; it's only right that I share your burdens."

Li Qi said contentedly, "You're such an obedient child..."

"However, you may see it as your duty, but I can't let it go unacknowledged. Come, come to me."

Xue Jing waved his hand.

Hearing this, Xue Jing took a step forward and stood before Li Qi, his curiosity getting the better of him. "Master?"

Li Qi extended his hand, which was as withered as a dried twig, and grasped Xue Jing's wrist. "You've been practicing the Dragon Concealment Style for nearly three months now, and your progress has been outrageously fast. Not only have you already mastered the five deadly moves, but you've also managed to materialize 'Dragon Qi' to a substantial degree..."

"Furthermore, you've even begun experimenting with combining those deadly moves, venturing into the realm of the ultimate technique, 'Dotting the Eye'... Since that's the case, I shall add more fuel to your fire. As for how high the flames will rise, that depends entirely on you."

"You will only have one chance... Remember the feeling that follows."

Li Qi's cloudy, aged eyes suddenly lit up, transforming into vertical pupils of dark gold.

Sharp, majestic, noble... An overwhelming aura, befitting the most powerful being at the top of the food chain, emanated from his entire being.

Within the closed room, visible, violent currents of energy inexplicably overflowed from Li Qi's body, despite the sealed doors and windows.

In this moment, he was no longer a half-crippled, Mediterranean-looking old man.

He was the 'Dragon King' Li Qi, one of the renowned 'Three Heroes of Jade City' from decades ago!

An incredibly powerful force, like none Xue Jing had ever experienced before, surged into his body from Li Qi's palm, taking the form of a meticulously crafted, life-like dragon.

"ROAR—!!!"

Amid the earth-shattering dragon's roar, Xue Jing deliberately kept his spiritual consciousness passive, allowing the roar to scatter it and strip him of control over his physical body.

Immediately after, the dragon of force dispersed throughout Xue Jing's body, spreading into his skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and blood.

Golden Dragon Scales, Whirlwind Thunder, Piercing Gaze, Cloud-Sealing Tail, and Star-Shaking Fire... Under the control of this force, his body began to simultaneously execute the five deadly moves of the Dragon Concealment Style.

In the midst of this, Xue Jing's dispersed spiritual consciousness observed the changes occurring within his body from a bystander's perspective.

His skin was covered in dense dragon scale imprints, his muscles began to spiral and compress, his pupils transformed into vertical dark gold pupils, his bones emitted a rumbling vibration, and his blood boiled as if it were burning.

The five deadly moves operated simultaneously yet distinctly, each maintaining its own integrity, while also creating a strangely harmonious resonance with one another.

Within this peculiar resonance, the five distinct forces began to seek out each other's 'gaps' and interlocked, becoming one.

An extremely powerful, piercing force, capable of penetrating anything, was cultivated within Xue Jing's body.

Its name—

"Ultimate Technique - Dotting the Eye!"

...

It was already 11 p.m., yet there were still quite a few floors in the office building that were lit up, occupied by employees forced to work overtime.

In that instant, everyone in the entire building heard a tremendous dragon's roar.

"ROOOOAAARRR!!!"

Everyone froze, their bodies rigid, not even their eyeballs daring to move.

In the natural world, when weak creatures encounter apex predators at the top of the food chain, their cells will instantly submit in an attempt to protect themselves. Their bodies become stiff and immobile, resembling stiff corpses in a state of pseudo-death.

It is the most humble plea for mercy, a desperate hope that the predator will scorn the corpse-like state and spare their lives.

At that moment, everyone's most primal instincts, hidden deep within their genes, were awakened.

It wasn't until several dozen seconds later that people in the building gradually regained their senses, one after another, and began to breathe heavily, coughing and soothing their discomfort.

"Cough, cough, cough... Whoa, whoa... What... just happened...?"

"I... I saw a dragon."

"I thought I was going to die..."

The sudden terrifying incident left everyone bewildered and panic-stricken.

At that moment, in the Tranquility Room of the Dragonhide Dojo, Xue Jing stared at his right fist, his mind in a daze.

Tendrils of smoke rose from his clenched fist, the hairs on his arm were curled from the heat, and his entire right arm was a bright red... a result of the intense air friction generated by his punch.

In front of him, almost nothing had changed. There was just a spiral-shaped hole the size of a fist in one of the glass windows.

Anyone with a basic understanding of physics would know how terrifying this was and how tremendous the penetrative force must have been to create such an effect, causing the glass to 'shatter too slowly' to break.

Xue Jing's gaze followed the spiral 'fist hole' in the glass, looking into the distance.

Far beyond human limits, he could clearly see, over a hundred meters away, a decorative bead about three meters in diameter at the top of a skyscraper.

This was the famous 'Pearl Tower' of the Eastern District, and the pearl was the symbol of the tower, a shining gem.

And at this moment, on the pearl, there was a spiral-shaped fist hole, the same size as the one on the glass, piercing straight through the massive pearl.

"This is the 'Ultimate Technique - Dotting the Eye'..."

Xue Jing marveled at the terrifying power of this strike.

There was no loud commotion, just a 'penetrating force' that extended in the direction of his punch.

Simple yet incredibly formidable.

The greatest sounds are often silent, and the greatest forms are often unseen. It was an extremely pure destructive force.

It was like adding that one insignificant yet crucial 'dot' to a massive true dragon, completing it!

"Hu... Hu..."

Li Qi slumped in his wheelchair, breathing heavily, while Meng Qingjiao stood silently behind him, gently patting his back to soothe his breathing.

"...How do you feel?"

After a moment, he asked.

At this moment, Li Qi seemed to have aged by over a decade, appearing extremely weak.

Xue Jing knelt before him, his hand on his knee, and asked with concern, "Master, are you alright?"

Li Qi waved his hand and took a few breaths before speaking, "It's nothing. I'm fine."

"While you were in Feng City, I referred to your theory of 'mental interference with self-reality' and made some progress."

"Although it was just for a moment... but in that moment, I was able to exert my strength from my prime, and it was just enough for you."

"However... that's all I can do. This old bag of bones has truly run out of steam."

He joked lightly.

"Master..." Xue Jing paused for a moment.

Li Qi smiled, "Alright, enough of the sentimental stuff. Tell me, what did you comprehend?"

Xue Jing thought for a moment and said, "Everything."

In that instant, his spiritual consciousness was dispersed throughout his body, imprinting all the changes that occurred.

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then his face showed contentment:

"Good, good. As expected of you."

"Now that you've comprehended 'Dotting the Eye', you can consider it learned... However, until I say you're ready, you must not use this technique unless you have no other choice and it's a life-or-death situation."

Li Qi said solemnly.

"The 'Dotting the Eye' just now was executed with my strength."

"The requirements for using this technique are among the highest-level ultimate techniques in almost all martial arts styles. Your physical strength in various aspects has not yet reached the required level. Forcibly using it would, at best, result in severe injury or near death. The probability of instant death is extremely high."

"Do you understand?"

Xue Jing nodded seriously, "I understand, Master."

Li Qi hummed in acknowledgment, sounding weary, "Alright, you should go and rest too. I need to get some rest as well. I'm exhausted."

Xue Jing stood up, bid farewell to Li Qi, and left the Tranquility Room with Meng Qingjiao, their steps slow and relaxed.

In the corridor, Meng Qingjiao reached out to ruffle Xue Jing's hair and straightened his slightly messy collar.

Xue Jing smiled and said, "Sister, are you leaving?"

"... " Meng Qingjiao nodded, her expression cold.

"Didn't I say I would cook for you last time?"

Xue Jing thought for a moment and spoke.

"Sister, feel free to come to my place anytime you're free."

Meng Qingjiao's eyes lit up slightly.

...

When Xue Jing returned home, it was almost midnight.

He took a shower, changed into comfortable clothes, and lay down on the bed, petting the sleeping Cat Cat while opening the panel.

"Hmm?"

Xue Jing sat up abruptly, causing the mattress to shake and Cat Cat to fall off the bed.
