Chapter 273: The Red-Lipped Beauty, a Disaster for the Country, and the Unworn Blade's Might (4K)



When Sch Jing returned to the Zhi Ge Base, night had already fallen.

After the post-match interview, he and Jiang Siwei planned to celebrate with a feast, inviting Ning Yuan Tai, who was their driver, to join them. As they were about to leave, they ran into Wei Jun Wu, who shamelessly tagged along, bringing Song Nan Xing with him.

The group went to a well-known high-end restaurant in Yuan City and indulged in an expensive meal.

Sch Jing finally got to taste the 'Flame Crab' that Shan Yao had mentioned once before, and he had been thinking about it ever since.

The meat was naturally cooked to perfection, ready to be eaten as soon as the shell was cracked open. This creature seemed to be born to be eaten, and it was indeed an extremely rare delicacy.

Sch Jing and the others, being martial artists with hearty appetites, ate an astonishing amount, devouring dozens of crabs and nearly emptying the restaurant's stock.

Unfortunately, due to the season, Sch Jing couldn't purchase the 'Flame Crab King' that he had inquired about.

It was said that the Flame Crab King was born only once in every hundred thousand Flame Crabs, and its deliciousness was rumored to be among the top three in the world, guaranteed to be in the top three.

With such high praise, Sch Jing, feeling like a wealthy man with his billions, was willing to pay a few million to try this delicacy, even if it was a bit of a rip-off. However, there was none available at the moment.

He could only hope for another opportunity in the future.

During the meal, Sch Jing casually inquired about the person behind Wei Jun Wu.

The one who had sent the Forgotten Greatsword to him and arranged for Wei Jun Wu to spread the news that Zhou Yinglin intended to kill him on the stage...

Although Sch Jing had a rough idea that this person was connected to Master Sister Zhu, he still didn't know the person's identity or the reason for helping him.

"Old Sch, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really dare not," Wei Jun Wu said, holding a large crab claw and using his strength to crack open the shell, revealing the plump crab meat inside.

He stuffed the entire piece of crab meat into his mouth, swallowing it whole like a greedy pig, and then sighed, "When working for such a person, you can't do more or less than what they ask. You have to follow their instructions precisely, and any deviation is not allowed."

"If that person didn't mention that I could reveal their identity to you, then I can't say..."

But then Wei Jun Wu changed the subject and smiled, "However, you'll know soon enough... Although I can't say it, there's someone who can say anything, and they should be meeting you very soon."

Sch Jing's expression shifted, and he nodded, "I see, I understand."

"Old Sch, you're definitely going to rise to great heights in the future. Remember me when you're successful!" Wei Jun Wu said with a mischievous look.

Sch Jing picked up a cup filled with cola and took a sip, replying leisurely, "I'm already rich."

Wei Jun Wu chuckled and then asked, "By the way, old Sch, what about you and Yuga Ling Lu..."

"Is there really nothing going on? I feel like something's off."

Sch Jing calmly looked at Wei Jun Wu and said slowly, "What do you mean? What do you think is wrong?"

With the skill Visualization · True, which enhances his mental abilities, Sch Jing had excellent control over his emotions. Although he instinctively resisted the idea of a romantic relationship with another man, he had calmed down and wasn't as stressed as before.

As long as he didn't want it, no matter what Yuga Ling Lu thought or what others said, it wouldn't affect him. Even if Yuga Ling Lu wanted to use force against him, Sch Jing wouldn't back down.

Realizing this, he found that he had nothing to fear and decided to face it with a calm mind.

"Before your match ended, I ran into Yuga Ling Lu backstage," Wei Jun Wu said, stroking his chin.

"He had just come out of the medical room, probably because he needed treatment for the injury on his head, and he wasn't wearing his hair tied up... It's hard to describe."

Wei Jun Wu's face showed a look of reminiscence, and he seemed a bit lost in thought.

"He was so beautiful, completely different from when he had his hair tied up. There was no trace of masculinity, and he didn't look like a man at all."

Sch Jing quietly moved his chair a little further away from Wei Jun Wu.

Wei Jun Wu waved his hand, "I'm sure I'm not gay... The Inner Ring is technologically advanced, and there are many effeminate young men who sell their bodies. They look exactly like women, except for having an extra part, but I've never been interested. My sensors don't react to them at all."

"But Yuga Ling Lu is different, truly different."

Wei Jun Wu's eyes showed deep thought.

"My sensors shouldn't be lying to me... Do you think it's possible that this person is cross-dressing, and their true identity is a top-tier sakura girl?"

"Sch Jing, you're a bit over the top," Jiang Siwen said, her face turning red with embarrassment, having already finished her meal.

Sch Jing pondered for a moment and replied, "A simple cross-dressing wouldn't fool me. There's no doubt that his current body is male, with all the necessary parts."

"However, there are many strange things and powers in this world, and it's not impossible that he might have used a gender-disguising ability."

Wei Junwu's excitement grew, "If that's the case, you're in luck, old Sch!"

"Yuga Ling Lu is the third heir to the Yuga Conglomerate, one of the richest people on this planet. Judging by his behavior, he's obviously interested in you..."

Wei Junwu paused, suddenly realizing something.

He scratched his head.

"Oh no, this might turn a good thing into a disaster... Sch, you're a real troublemaker with your charm."

Sch Jing: "?"

...

Back at the Zhi Ge Base villa, Sch Jing placed two Flame Crabs, each nearly a meter long, on the table.

These were for the little maid and Ning Fengwan, who, at Sch Jing's request, had stayed at the villa to practice martial arts instead of going to the match.

"Jing A."

Ning Fengwan, in her human form, sat on the sofa, her long, slender legs in tight shorts crossed, assuming a queenly pose. Her fluffy tail swayed behind her.

She rested her chin on one hand, a smile on her exquisite face, and her slender phoenix eyes, curved like crescent moons, gazed at Sch Jing. With a teasing tone, she asked,

"Back from exploring the new world?"

Sch Jing's lips twitched, "What are you talking about?"

Ning Fengwan stood up, placed her hands behind her back, and gracefully walked over to Sch Jing. Leaning forward, she sniffed at his neck, taking in his scent.

Sch Jing, speechless, pushed her head away, keeping a distance.

"What are you doing, acting like a dog?"

Ning Fengwan hummed lightly, "Just checking if you've been hanging out with any vixens."

Sch Jing raised an eyebrow, "Even adding 'male' in brackets... My Master, that was just an accident. You're not going to make a fuss over this, are you, Queen of Jealousy?"

Ning Fengwan gave him a seductive eye roll, "Who's jealous... You're too naive. It's not so easy to say it was an accident."

"Women can be very complicated, and 0 is the woman among men, equally cunning."

Sch Jing chuckled, "Alright, sit down. I'll peel the crab for you."

Ning Fengwan gathered her long hair, "Let Yun Qin do it. You go take a shower."

...

On the 1097th floor of the Skyreach Center, Xu Mu De of Xu Corporation stood before dozens of cultivation pods containing his clones, his expression shifting from dark to light.

Beside him, a woman with demon eyes resembling a goat's spoke softly, "Well, how do you plan to handle these 'Divine Men'?"

"I suggest you decide quickly. Every second that passes increases the risk. These eyes alone can't suppress so many rampaging 'Divine Men'..."

Xu Mu De glanced at her with a slightly darkening gaze.

"We haven't ruled out that option..."

The woman noncommittally replied, "So, what do you suggest?"

Xu Mu De took a few steps forward, placed his hand on one of the cultivation pods, and looked inside at his clone immersed in an orange-yellow liquid.

"There's also the Primordial Wind..."

"I've already borrowed two from the Secret Martial Society. They have two more."

The woman, expressionless, said, "What if they refuse? You're not a member, and they don't usually give outsiders any leeway..."

Xu Mu De spoke slowly, "Then we're left with one final option."

The woman frowned, "Are you sure? The Primordial Wind on that person is something Miss Wu wants. If they find out, your family might not be able to protect you."

Xu Mu De shrugged, "As long as they don't find out, it's fine."

He turned to the woman, his eyes determined, "Wen Kui, we have no choice... In two days, if we haven't heard from the Secret Martial Society, you'll lead a team to take it from him."

"I've already arranged for help. We'll do it together, and afterward, we'll shift the blame onto them, letting them face the wrath of the Wu family."

The woman named Wen Kui frowned, "I have a bad feeling about this... These 'Divine Men' might not even last until then."

Xu Mu De reached out and patted her shoulder, his expression sincere as he said, "I believe in your abilities. I'll leave everything to you."

Xu Wen Kui: "..."

She let out a soft sigh, and the blue patterns in the whites of her eyes flickered slightly.

In the end, she could only nod in agreement.

...

In the simulated consciousness space, a vast desert filled with yellow sand stretched out.

Sch Jing sat cross-legged on the ground, his mind moving.

Pixel blocks rotated and condensed, and dozens of differently styled flying swords appeared in the air around him, hovering and circling slowly.

He extended his right hand, forming a sword finger with his palm, and lifted it upwards.

All the flying swords instantly turned their tips and shot upwards at incredible speed, slicing through the air and creating a faint sonic boom.

High in the sky, a meticulously detailed dragon with tree-bark-like patterns on its scales had a crown-like brown branch entwined around its horns. Its long and massive body let out an angry roar.

Sch Jing sat on the ground, his sword finger pointing towards the true dragon.

The dozens of flying swords immediately formed a formation, surrounding the true dragon from all sides, creating an impenetrable barrier.

Sch Jing took a deep breath, inhaling a massive amount of oxygen, generating an enormous amount of force, and then, through Transcendence, transferred the force into three of the flying swords.

The three swords trembled and demonstrated the 'Transportation' effect of the Great Ascension Flying Saber, slicing through the void with a 'whoosh' and dragging a long white sonic boom cloud as they pierced towards the true dragon.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

Three sounds resembling hammers striking armor rang out almost simultaneously as the three swords were deflected and knocked away. The true dragon's scales were not pierced, but it let out a painful howl, its four legs thrashing in agony as if it had suffered a tremendous injury.

Celestial Hammer—a technique that activates and infuses force into an opponent's body, breaking through their defenses.

Sch Jing used the Great Ascension Flying Saber's Transportation technique on the three swords, and as they struck, the formidable force bypassed the dragon's scales and penetrated its body.

Without hesitation, Sch Jing rotated his sword finger.

Another three swords rapidly pierced towards the true dragon. They spun, stirring the airflow, and impaled the true dragon's body like drill bits, boring deeper. After a brief struggle, they slightly broke through the dragon's scales, penetrating half a centimeter into its body, but the sword bodies were already covered in cracks.

Sch Jing shook his head, "The material isn't sufficient... It can't withstand the full force of my technique."

"Roar—!!"

The true dragon roared in anger, its entire body crackling with golden dragon lightning. In an instant, the three swords on its body were melted, and the dragon viciously struck the surrounding dozens of swords, shattering them all.

Sch Jing's expression remained unchanged as he extended his palm, and numerous pixel blocks condensed in his palm, transforming into an old but beautiful longsword.

It was the Unworn Blade—the Nightfall Blade.

With a thought, Sch Jing activated Transcendence on the Nightfall Blade.

Instantly, the Nightfall Blade unsheathed itself in midair, revealing its flawless and radiant blade as it shot upwards.

This time, Sch Jing directly activated Twin Souls.

First, he enhanced his flexibility, expanding his lung capacity, and took a deep breath, absorbing twice the amount of oxygen in his normal state. He generated an enormous force and transferred it onto the Nightfall Blade.

Great Ascension Flying Saber - Mystic Art - Pupil Illumination!

The blade hummed lightly, emitting a dragon's roar, and its entire body radiated a pale golden aura. It suddenly accelerated to nearly twice the speed of sound, streaking towards the true dragon like a meteor.

To unleash a Mystic Art, one must first be able to withstand its power.

Unlike Sch Jing, who possessed True Martial, the flying swords did not have the same level of physical endurance, which was akin to a bug in the system. Therefore, they could not withstand the sheer force of Pupil Illumination, and even Cyclone Thunder would be difficult to execute fully, shattering before reaching its compression limit.

However, this was not a problem for Sch Jing at this moment.

The Unworn Blade, with its conceptual-level attribute of never dulling, could easily withstand even ten thousand or a hundred thousand Pupil Illuminations without any damage!

With this blade, Sch Jing could freely unleash his full potential!

With the power and speed of Twin Souls, the Nightfall Blade instantly reached over four times the speed of sound, slicing through the sky with sword energy and thunderous roars, covering a distance of several thousand meters in just a few seconds!

"Whoosh—"

With barely any resistance, the blade pierced through the true dragon's head, penetrating its neck, spine, and tailbone... and finally exiting from the tip of its tail.

The blade remained bright and radiant, shimmering in the sunlight.

...
