Chapter 265: Divine Man Project, The Grand Thief, Ning Fengwan PUA’d by Sch Jing (Combined)



Sch Jing transformed into a shadow, constantly scanning the surroundings. His vision and other senses, which surpassed human limits, thoroughly investigated the area, not missing any detail.

At the same time, his mental energy spread outward, beginning a visualization. Gradually, he constructed a detailed map of the surrounding terrain in his mind.

"Good... It should be fine."

There was no one around... Not even any suspected surveillance or alarm devices.

The construction and decoration style was not much different from the other floors of Xu Corporation, leaning towards a high-tech company vibe.

However, despite everything seeming normal, perhaps due to the dim lighting and the eerie silence, Sch Jing felt an odd atmosphere on this floor.

It was like a scene in a horror movie where everything is too quiet, making one feel that something terrifying would jump out at any moment.

"Feels like some mad scientist's hideout..."

The shadow Sch Jing had become moved slowly through the floor.

Although he hadn't detected anyone or any surveillance, he remained cautious.

It was a completely sealed floor with no seams, and the material was so advanced that it could even block mental energy. Given the high level of confidentiality, Sch Jing felt that being extra cautious was necessary.

However, as Sch Jing explored the 1097th floor, his doubts grew heavier.

"Strange... There really is nothing here?"

He had been wandering for a while, and although there were rooms on this floor, they were all empty, with very few items—just some boxes, chairs, and various old, unusable devices.

It seemed like a company that had fallen into disrepair and been abandoned.

"Perhaps the 1097th floor used to be an important place but was abandoned for some reason... It seems the Primordial Wind won't be here."

Sch Jing thought to himself.

A divine relic as precious as something in the top 300 sequence numbers wouldn't be left in such a desolate place.

However, to prevent missing something obvious, Sch Jing carefully searched the entire floor.

In the end, he found nothing special; the entire floor was abandoned.

"It's taking too much time..."

Sch Jing calculated the time in his mind; it was almost 4 AM.

In a few hours, it would be daylight, and he couldn't afford to waste any more time, so he decided to head to the 1098th floor immediately.

Just then, he suddenly felt something was off.

"Something's not right... The area of this floor is strange."

Sch Jing pondered for a moment, calmed his mind, and began to visualize the entire 1097th floor in his mental space.

Then, he visualized the 1096th floor below it.

Finally, he overlapped the two floors to compare them...

The results were clear.

Both floors were in the Skyreach Center and should theoretically be the same size.

However, when overlapped, Sch Jing noticed that the southeastern edge of the 1097th floor was missing a roughly 200-square-meter diamond-shaped section compared to the 1096th floor.

"The entire floor is too large, and this spot is tricky; I almost missed it..."

Sch Jing's eyes flickered.

The missing diamond-shaped area was sealed with the same special material as the 1097th floor's exterior, which blocked mental energy, so he had overlooked it during his initial scan.

If not for his enhanced mental abilities and strong spatial awareness, he might have missed it entirely.

Without hesitation, Sch Jing approached the sealed diamond-shaped area, condensed a Black Flame, and fed it to the Non-Existent Beast.

Such a hidden place within a hidden place must have something important, and it needed to be explored.

Sch Jing pressed his body against the wall, letting the Non-Existent Beast pass through. When it reached the six-meter limit, it spat out the Black Flame.

Feeling that the Black Flame was in an empty space and not touching anything solid, Sch Jing performed a Shadow Leap.

In the next moment, he silently emerged from the Black Flame.

His eyes immediately scanned the surroundings, taking in everything.

The dim lighting couldn't obstruct Sch Jing's sharp vision.

The Shadow Flame burned quietly in his pupils, allowing him to see clearly even in complete darkness.

What he saw made his breath catch slightly.

It wasn't what he had imagined—a place hiding one of the top 300 divine relics. Instead, it was... a human laboratory?

There were dozens of machines resembling incubation tanks, filled with orange-yellow liquid. Naked human bodies floated in the liquid, connected to mechanical tubes.

And Sch Jing recognized all of them.

They all had the same appearance.

It was Xu Mu De, whom Ning Yuan Tai had shown him during his visit to Xu Corporation.

'What is this?

Clone?"

Sch Jing furrowed his brows.

Before he could ponder further, he noticed that there were not only these machines containing clones but also two living people, a man and a woman.

The man looked quite similar to Xu Mu De, with a young appearance, likely an underage teenager.

As for the woman...

Sch Jing's gaze slightly froze as he looked towards the woman's side.

There was a platform about five feet tall, and on top of it was a semi-elliptical transparent dome. Inside the dome, a pale red air current was floating and constantly spinning.

In just a glance, Sch Jing recognized it; this was his purpose for coming here—GOD-098 · Primordial Wind.

There were nine of these, each with the same function but different colors.

Seeing that his target was finally found, Sch Jing's heart stirred, but he wasn't in a hurry.

His gaze shifted, focusing on the woman's face.

The woman's appearance was not particularly remarkable; she was just ordinarily pretty, but her eyes were peculiar. Her pupils were horizontal like a goat's eyes, and her sclera had fine blue radial patterns, making them extremely eerie.

The moment Sch Jing saw those eyes, he instinctively sensed a feeling of danger.

Instantly, without hesitation, he let the Non-Existent Beast swallow him into invisibility.

"Hmm?"

The woman with goat eyes glanced around, her gaze shifting towards the corner where Sch Jing had been.

"Sister Kui, what's wrong?" the boy beside her asked, puzzled.

Sister Kui didn't reply but stood up and walked towards the corner where Sch Jing had been, scanning the area around him. Blue light flickered in the radial patterns on her sclera.

After a long while, she found nothing. She paused, shook her head, and said, "It's nothing... probably just another hallucination."

The boy frowned. "Why are hallucinations happening so frequently today? Could it be that the mutation rate has risen again? Is this a sign of the mutation disease?"

Sister Kui replied indifferently, "It's fine. Just take an injection."

The boy exclaimed, "Another injection?! These powerful suppressants directly erode consciousness. Overdosing can lead to permanent damage! Even a body transfer won't save you!"

Sister Kui's tone remained unperturbed. "As long as the Divine Man Project succeeds, this price is nothing. The one in Cang Ting will naturally bestow upon me..."

The boy's eyes flashed with discontent. "That old man hasn't shown his face in Cang Ting for over a hundred years. Who knows if he's even still alive... Suddenly, he sends down orders for us to carry out the Divine Man Project..."

"So many families are working on this project. The Wu Corporation even started their research twenty years earlier than us, and they haven't made a single splash yet. How can we expect results after starting so late? It's probably just a deception from above..."

Sister Kui thought for a moment and said, "It's different..."

"Xu Mu De, through some unknown method, reached an agreement with the New Northern Ocean Council and obtained a portion of Adam's flesh and blood... This is also why the one in Cang Ting gave the order to initiate the Divine Man Project."

"This is why the project was entrusted to Xu Mu De, and the first batch of Divine Men will use Xu Mu De's genes..."

Hearing this, the boy's eyes widened in shock. "Is that so?!"

He murmured, "So that's why... No wonder even with the Primordial Wind, they still had you implant these eyes..."

Sister Kui said indifferently, "Alright, now hurry up and bring me the suppressant."

The boy quickly responded, "Yes."

As the injection was administered, the blue radial patterns in Sister Kui's sclera gradually faded.

Exhaustion showed in her eyes as she said, "I need to rest for a while... You keep watch. If there's any strange movement, don't hesitate to use the Primordial Wind..."

The boy patted his chest and assured her, "Sister Kui, leave it to me. Rest well!"

"Hmm..."

...

Twenty minutes later.

In a certain part of the laboratory, a tiny fissure silently opened in the void.

A pair of eyes peered out from the crack, observing for a while. After some time, a shadow slipped out and quickly moved to an inconspicuous corner.

In the shadow, Sch Jing's gaze turned towards the woman with goat eyes. At that moment, she was sitting on the ground with her eyes closed, leaning against the wall, seemingly resting.

After confirming that she showed no reaction, Sch Jing looked towards the boy. With just a glance, he casually withdrew his gaze and then turned towards the pale red Primordial Wind inside the transparent dome.

The shadow slowly moved, always staying in the blind spots of the two people in the room. It gradually approached the Primordial Wind.

Sch Jing estimated the distance and stopped six meters away from the Primordial Wind.

He didn't rush to act but instead fixed his gaze on the boy. The boy was using a smart ring to project a hologram and read an article.

Sch Jing had excellent eyesight and managed to read a portion of the article.

【...As a by-product of ■■■, the only divine relic born from human hands, Adam's uniqueness...】

【...There was no indication of any conscious existence within it...】

【...We will extract this special substance from Adam and call it the 'Divinity Factor'...】

Due to his position behind the boy, blocking part of his view, Sch Jing didn't see the entire article.

But he was quite sensitive to the word 'Divinity', and when he saw the phrase 'Divinity Factor' in the article, he immediately paid attention and remembered it.

Whether this 'Divinity Factor' truly referred to the Divinity bar on the panel or was just a coincidental name, he decided to investigate when he returned.

As for how to investigate... he certainly had the connections to do so.

With a glance from Youqing, you'd understand.

Sch Jing quietly waited for the right moment.

Not long after, the boy, having looked for a while, instinctively changed his posture and turned his head to the other side.

In this position, his field of vision suddenly moved away from the Primordial Wind.

Sch Jing was waiting for this moment; without hesitation, he controlled the Non-Existent Beast, and its invisible mouth opened, instantly swallowing the pale red wind orb.

Got it!

Without pausing, he quickly moved towards the corner of the room after a successful strike, then condensed Black Flame and had the Non-Existent Beast swallow it. He leaped over the enclosed wall, spat it out outside, and with a shadow jump, slipped out of the laboratory.

Inside, the boy didn't notice that something had suddenly disappeared from his side.

It wasn't until several minutes later, when he unconsciously changed his posture again, that the corner of his eye caught the empty platform that was supposed to hold the Primordial Wind.

"Hmm?"

He froze for a moment, straightened up, rubbed his eyes, and looked again.

"It's... gone!"

His panicked shout echoed through the laboratory, waking up the woman with goat-like eyes.

"What's wrong?" she asked with a frown.

The boy lifted the transparent cover on the platform and scanned every inch of the area, finding no trace of the Primordial Wind. He exclaimed in panic:

"Sister Kui, the Primordial Wind is gone!"

"Calm down," she said, her horizontal-slit pupils revealing a sharp gaze.

"Nothing happened, no abnormalities, no sound... it just suddenly disappeared?"

She asked.

The boy thought carefully, nodded, and said, "Yes."

Sister Kui paused for a moment and said, "It's not your fault... this should have triggered the 'Transference' of the Divine Relic."

"Anyway, sound the alarm first. Although it's highly likely that the Divine Relic moved on its own, we still need to put on a show for Xu Mu De."

The boy quickly nodded and said, "Yes!"

Sister Kui sighed, "Without the Primordial Wind, if the 'Divine Man' goes berserk, this first batch of 'Divine Men' will be headed for the trash..."

...

"Buzz—"

The alarm rang throughout the hundreds of floors of Xu Corporation, and countless members, awake or asleep, began to scramble into action.

Sch Jing transformed into a shadow and made his way down, avoiding everyone's gaze, continuously heading towards the main entrance of Xu Corporation.

He had originally planned to quickly descend the floors and leave using the Non-Existent Beast and shadow jumps.

But currently, the Blue Energy of Shadow Flame was not abundant, and shadow jumps consumed a significant amount of energy. Jumping continuously from the 1097th floor to the 1002nd floor would require over a hundred jumps, an unaffordable energy expenditure.

Additionally, the walls at the edge of the Skyreach Center were terrifyingly thick, exceeding six meters, making it impossible to jump directly outside using the Non-Existent Beast.

So, he could only slowly sneak out using this method.

Fortunately, after visiting twice, Sch Jing had a complete mental model of Xu Corporation, making him as familiar with the building as his own home.

Even with the current crowd in the company, Sch Jing could easily find hidden corners and slip away unnoticed.

About an hour later, he successfully reached the entrance of Xu Corporation and slipped out through a gap in the door.

The time was 5:30 AM.

The sky was already brightening, and Sch Jing didn't linger. As soon as he exited the door, he stuck to the outer wall of the Skyreach Center in his shadow form and moved downward, avoiding the floating vehicles around.

Nearly an hour later, he reached the ground.

The morning sunlight had already illuminated the area, and the ground was bustling with activity, but since most people used flying vehicles to travel to and from the Skyreach Center, the ground level was relatively unnoticed.

Sch Jing maintained his shadow form and continued to move stealthily, entering a hidden area.

Only then did his body slowly materialize in the shadow.

"Phew... done."

Sch Jing let out a sigh of relief.

Although he successfully stole the 'Primordial Wind', the process had been quite risky.

After the alarm sounded in Xu Corporation, several formidable figures that Sch Jing recognized at a glance were searching everywhere, making it challenging to avoid their gaze.

But fortunately, he had succeeded.

He snapped his fingers, and a rift opened in the air beside him, releasing a pale red wind orb that he grabbed with his hand.

【Divinity Factor detected, absorbing Divinity...】

"Primordial Wind... Now I have two of them."

Sch Jing extended his other hand, allowing the Non-Existent Beast to spit out the pale blue wind orb.

One hand held the green wind, the other the red wind, like a superhero.

He had a sudden idea and tried to apply 'Transcendence' to the two wind orbs in his hands.

But... nothing happened.

Sch Jing's eyes narrowed in thought.

"The Forgotten Greatsword can be transcended, proving that the Divine Relic itself can be transcended. But these two Primordial Winds cannot... It's probably because they don't meet the conditions for transcendence."

"It has to be something that belongs to me... Hey, I stole and snatched this as the Holy Thief, why doesn't it count as mine?"

Sch Jing pouted in dissatisfaction.

He shook his head.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. It was a gift for Youqing A Dream anyway... I'll go back first."

Sch Jing took a step and leaped onto the branches in the forest, making his way back to Yuan City.

On his journey, he successfully absorbed the newly acquired pale red Primordial Wind's divinity, gaining 1326 divinity points.

Combined with what he already had, he now possessed a total of 9024 divinity points, a substantial harvest.

Without any unexpected events, Sch Jing quickly returned to Yuan City. He skillfully evaded surveillance and pedestrians, discreetly making his way back to the villa at the Zhi Ge Base.

From start to finish, no one noticed his presence. It was as if he had been in his room, asleep, without ever leaving.

After a whole night of intense mental focus, even Sch Jing felt exhausted.

However, having completed a task assigned by Wu Youqing, he felt a sense of relief and his mood was rather cheerful.

He opened the panel to check, and he needed to plan how to spend his 9000 divinity points.

But Sch Jing didn't want to think about it for now. He left the room, went downstairs, and saw the little maid, Yun Qin, sitting at the dining table, holding Catcat in her arms, and feeding her with chopsticks.

Catcat heard Sch Jing coming downstairs and turned to look at him. She then took a bite of the food Yun Qin was feeding her and said in a muffled voice, "You're back."

"My Cult Master, it seems like all you do lately is eat and sleep."

Sch Jing raised an eyebrow as he spoke.

It was unclear if it was because she had saved Yun Qin, but Catcat's tense nerves seemed to relax, and now that all the housework could be left to the little maid, even eating was taken care of for her, leading to signs of her being completely spoiled.

"Hmm?"

Catcat made a puzzled sound.

"But... Isn't that what pets do?"

She said this with a matter-of-fact expression, unashamedly acknowledging her precise role in the house.

Sch Jing's lips twitched, "Yun Qin, let her eat by herself. Don't spoil her so much, or she'll become useless."

Yun Qin paused, chopsticks in hand, and looked at Sch Jing, then at Catcat in her arms. Her round, innocent face showed guilt.

She scratched her head, looking a bit silly, and muttered, "Cult Master... Master..."

Catcat glared at Sch Jing, stood up, stretched lazily, and jumped onto the dining table, making a loud thud. Her voice sounded a bit heavy.

Sch Jing's eyes flickered, "Hmm? Did you gain weight?"

Hearing this, Catcat's emerald-like pupils revealed a hint of tension, "How... How could I?"

Sch Jing stroked his chin, "Change back to human form and let me see."

Catcat hesitated for a moment, but then a white-gold light flashed, and she transformed into a human. Her long, smooth hair fell like a black cascade, and her beautiful face, with its dominant phoenix eyes, showed a hint of nervousness.

Her body was perfectly proportioned, with curves in all the right places. The evolution from the Asia Cup to the Euro Cup was eye-catching, and above her firm, round hips, a fluffy tail swayed back and forth.

Sch Jing was used to this beautiful sight but couldn't help but secretly sigh, it was truly a work of art...

However, his expression remained unchanged, and he shook his head, sighing regretfully.

'A woman dresses up for the one she loves,' seeing his reaction, Ning Fengwan immediately felt anxious.

She covered her private parts with her hands and said pitifully, "Jing A, say something."

"Did I gain weight..."

'Gaining weight is good...' Sch Jing thought, but he smiled and said, "Just a little."

"What should I do?" Ning Fengwan asked anxiously.

She grabbed her belly, and for some reason, it did feel less firm and more flabby than before.

"You and Yun Qin, I'll teach you both martial arts. It's very effective for keeping in shape."

Perfect, although the main goal was to help Ning Fengwan get out of her useless state, he could also gain some teaching experience.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Ning Fengwan's eyes showed determination. She put on her underwear, then a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, tying her hair into a neat high ponytail. Her already striking beauty now had an added touch of heroism.

Sch Jing smiled, "Aren't you going to finish eating first?"

"I can't eat anymore!"
