Chapter 283: The Hero Who Saves Everything Before Him - Lacquer Black Iron Knight (4K)



Sch Jing carefully examined the woman who called herself 'Yujia Shinelu'.

Compared to Yuga Ling Lu's state, she was about ten centimeters shorter, standing at around one meter sixty-five. Her skin was even fairer and smoother, her figure slender yet with ample curves in all the right places. Even beneath loose clothing, one could still clearly see her well-defined, perky buttocks and the strength of an Asian Cup champion.

But the most noticeable change was her face.

The face that had already been alluring and enchanting in its male state now bore no trace of masculine features. Instead, it exuded pure feminine charm, ten times more bewitching than before, with a charm that was simply irresistible.

Under the guise of acting cute, her perfectly coached smile and pearly white teeth made Sch Jing, who had already developed a strong resistance to beauty, feel a little dazed.

"Lu-san, we're all brothers, no need to be shy. I just saw you transform into a woman from start to finish, so there's no need to pretend anymore."

Sch Jing spoke in a casual tone.

"Eh~ Sch Jing gege, what are you talking about, I don't understand~"

Yujia Shinelu put on an innocent, cute expression, her voice soft as if a girlfriend was cooing to her boyfriend.

"Shinelu's brain isn't as good as her brother's, and she struggles with Chinese~"

"Can you teach me more, Sch Jing gege? Please~"

Yujia Shinelu clasped her hands together in front of her chest and said expectantly.

Sch Jing stroked his chin thoughtfully, "So that's it... By pretending to be someone else, you can avoid the embarrassment of being discovered, and you also have the persona of struggling with Chinese. With this setup, your defense is practically invincible. If things go south, you can just pretend you don't understand. No wonder it's you, Lu-san."

Yujia Shinelu's face reddened slightly upon hearing this, but she quickly brushed it off, "You're speaking complex Chinese again, Sch Jing gege."

Sch Jing smiled speechlessly as he saw her act again.

Oh well, if she wants to play a role, he might as well play along.

"Give me your hand."

Sch Jing said.

"Hmm?" Yujia Shinelu tilted her head, unsure of Sch Jing's intentions but instinctively obeying his words. She extended her right hand, palm up, revealing slender and beautiful fingers with a hint of pink.

Sch Jing's mind stirred, and a formless rift opened beside him. A black root emerged from the void, its tip gently touching Yujia Shinelu's palm.

The Dragon Sakura's life-force transfer ability activated, absorbing his life force and transferring it to the girl before him.

The deep, bone-visible wound on her thigh began to squirm and heal rapidly. Yujia Shinelu blinked, her eyes softening with a hint of tenderness.

She could feel the thick and pure life force flowing into her, carrying Sch Jing's unique 'essence'.

He was sharing his life force to heal her injuries.

"It's just a superficial wound, it would've healed on its own in a couple of days. There's no need for this."

Yujia Shinelu couldn't help but speak up.

Sch Jing waved his hand dismissively, "It was just convenient, don't worry about it."

Yujia Shinelu smiled gently and said softly, "Thank you, Jing gege."

Jing gege...

Sch Jing paused and glanced at her.

Her address was becoming more intimate. Sakura-chan sure knew how to push boundaries.

He felt that if she called him like that a few more times, he might have to go defend Xiangyang.

However, being called like that did make him feel refreshed... even though he had found it annoying when she was Yujia Ling Lu.

Brother, you're starting to sound a little sweet.

Indeed, the key issue was the 'weapon' between her legs. Without it, her threat level had decreased significantly, and he no longer had to worry about being forcibly merged from behind.

"It's I who should be thanking you, Shinelu."

Sch Jing spoke softly.

Hearing him address her as 'Shinelu', Yujia Shinelu couldn't help but smile, but then she asked in confusion,

"Thank me? Why?"

After saving her with Morning Dew and sharing his life force to heal her, wasn't it she who should be grateful to Sch Jing?

"It's nothing."

Sch Jing didn't elaborate further, as explaining would be complicated, and there were things he couldn't disclose.

He waved his hand, retracting the Dragon Sakura's root, and the rift in the void closed. Yujia Shinelu's leg injury was completely healed, leaving no scars on her fair, slender yet voluptuous thighs.

"Sch... Jing gege, I heard from Shinelu-san that you had returned to Qingcheng. Why are you here?"

Yujia Shinelu asked.

"It's a long story, I'll explain later... By the way, isn't Taipi-kun with you?"

Sch Jing asked in return.

"Taipi-kun?" Yuga Shinelu paused, then realized who Sch Jing was referring to and couldn't help but laugh.

"It's Taiping, Wakami Taiping... I asked him to go to the lower levels to rescue the civilians, while I head upwards, splitting our forces."

Sch Jing raised an eyebrow. "Splitting our forces... Are you still going to stick to your 'Chinese-challenged' persona? You're even using idioms now."

Yuga Shinelu's face turned slightly red. "This is what Shinelu Clan Leader taught me; it's just a coincidence."

Sch Jing waved her off. "Alright, it's dangerous here. Go and meet up with Taipi-kun, then leave this place quickly."

Yuga Shinelu reached out and grabbed Sch Jing's sleeve, shaking her head. "Let me stay by your side. Right now... it's not convenient for me to be seen by others."

Seeing her hesitation, Sch Jing nodded. "Alright, then be careful. I might not be able to look after you."

He turned and walked over to the mutilated remains of Xu Mu De, crouching down to examine it carefully.

'Divine Man'... a biological weapon based on the blueprint of GOD-023, Adam Son.

According to Xu Wen Kui, the mature Divine Man produced by the New Northern Ocean Council is extremely powerful, and with the divine factor in its body, it can rival Transcenders and even those who have transcended five or six times.

However, the Divine Man before him was clearly not as formidable as the ones from the New Northern Ocean Council, as the experiment had likely just begun.

Based on what Sch Jing had witnessed earlier, this Divine Man, although learning quickly in its battle with Yuga Ling Lu, did not possess the combat power of a Transcender.

Therefore, the one responsible for the tremors throughout Skyreach Center was likely not this creature...

There must be other experts.

Hopefully, the dozens of Experiment Subjects in the lab didn't all go on a rampage and escape.

Additionally...

Sch Jing opened the panel and took a look.

[Killed a special biological creature with divinity, +536 Divinity]



Earlier, Yuga Shinelu had used Dawnlight to slay the Divine Man. Since Dawnlight was in a state of Transcendence, it was an extension of Sch Jing's body, so it was as if Sch Jing had killed the creature himself.

Just as he had expected, killing this thing would indeed increase his divinity, and by a considerable amount.

Controlling the Non-Existent Beast, Sch Jing had it swallow the [Dried Fish Sword] that had fallen to the ground, making it invisible. He then stood up.

Perhaps due to a mutual attraction between similar beings, the Divine Man, which had no consciousness and only acted on instinct, was able to use a Divine Relic... This was not good news.

There were dozens of Divine Relics in the Xu Corporation Biology containment facility, and Sch Jing had touched them all. Several of them had quite troublesome abilities.

If one of the Divine Men got their hands on them, he wasn't confident he could handle it.

However, the news about this place had already been sent to the Inner Ring Three Cities government, and they would surely dispatch powerful forces to quell the incident soon. His current priority was to protect the civilians as much as possible, rather than confront an unknown number of Divine Men.

"Shinelu, let's go. We'll continue upwards."

Sch Jing spoke to Yuga Shinelu, who was by his side.

Currently, he was on Level 786, while Xu Corporation Biology was located between Levels 1002 and 1102. The closer they got to that area, the more severe the disaster's impact would be.

For now, their goal was to reach the levels where Xu Corporation Biology was located and rescue people as they ascended.

Black air currents gathered from the surrounding shadows, enveloping Sch Jing and forging a set of Lacquer Black Chain Armor on his body.

The urban legend, Lacquer Black Iron Knight, made his appearance.

Then, he pointed at Yuga Shinelu, and the black air currents also wrapped around her, forming a set of Lacquer Black Armor that covered her entire body, leaving only her eyes exposed.

"Eh? What's this?"

Yuga Shinelu curiously looked at her hand, which was now covered in Lacquer Black Gauntlets.

"This is one of my divine secret arts, Shadow Flame."

"You don't want to be seen by others, right? Put it on."

Sch Jing said.

"Follow me."

He stomped his foot, and they soared upwards, violently breaking through the ceiling and heading to a higher level.

Yuga Shinelu smiled gently and followed.

...

The Skyreach Center was now in chaos due to the violent tremors caused by an unknown source.

Whenever there was a disaster, there would always be individuals with sinister intentions who would take advantage of the situation.

"Stop! What are you doing to me?! Help! Help me!!!"

A woman dressed in an OL outfit, with a good figure, stumbled and fell to the ground, looking at the middle-aged man with broad shoulders and a thick waist in front of her with terror.

"Shut up!"

A powerful slap almost knocked the woman unconscious, and blood immediately trickled from the corner of her mouth. She covered her mouth in fear, not daring to speak again.

"Who the hell cares if they're all dying, why can't I have some fun?"

The middle-aged man's face twisted in rage, his eyes red with fury, as he began to undo his belt.

"Whoosh—"

A swift, pitch-black shadow darted by, causing the man to freeze mid-action, his expression blank.

After a few seconds, a vertical line of blood slowly appeared down the center of his body, and his sides gradually slid apart, revealing a mess of black and red internal organs.

"Ahhhhhh!"

The woman screamed in terror.

Such scenes were unfolding in many places.

A massive boulder fell from the ceiling, but as a black shadow passed by, the boulder turned to dust.

In a crowd where a stampede was occurring, the black shadow glided through, and everyone was forcibly separated by thin black walls, creating a safe distance.

Someone rushing to board a flight vehicle stumbled and fell, but as the black shadow passed, they found themselves safely on the vehicle.

A severely injured person crying out in pain was instantly healed to a state where they could move again as the shadow swept by.

Yuga Shinelu followed behind Sch Jing, watching him count by the second, swiftly and efficiently handling the disasters unfolding before him. She couldn't help but stare in awe.

She could barely lend a hand... It was all too fast.

His quick and precise judgments, flawless execution, and perfect handling of each situation left nothing to criticize.

Those who were helped and saved were often unaware of what had occurred.

Even when he occasionally created doppelgangers, they were truly effective, with several light gold figures accompanying him, each addressing different tasks simultaneously.

It was like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves; wherever he went, everyone was rescued, and every disaster was averted.

He was a superhero capable of saving everyone in sight.

Yuga Shinelu's eyes sparkled with admiration, almost shooting out stars.

Brother Xue... He was truly incredible.

"Don't just stand there, follow me."

Sch Jing quickly scanned the area, satisfied that this level was under control. He immediately took flight, breaking through the ceiling to the next level.

As soon as he arrived, he frowned, sensing something amiss. He turned his head to the left.

Mental Visualization activated, and through several thick walls, he 'saw' a figure crouching on the ground.

In his Conscious Visualization, he slowly outlined the figure's appearance—naked, with a childlike expression of curiosity, bearing a striking resemblance to Xu Mu De.

Undoubtedly, another Divine Man.

This level seemed to be the headquarters of a company, filled with offices. Aside from the Divine Man, Sch Jing didn't sense anyone else.

After a moment's thought, he focused his mind, and a crackling sound emanated from his head, accompanied by silver-white arcs of electricity. A lightning dragon horn sprouted from his head.

The silver-white horn instantly transformed, twisting and curling, becoming a burning crimson golden flame lightning dragon horn.

He extended his right index finger, aiming it through the walls at the Divine Man. Crimson golden flame lightning gathered at his fingertip, compressed and radiating intense light.

Yuga Shinelu, who had followed him to this level, witnessed this scene and was momentarily stunned.

Brother Xue... How many more abilities did he possess?

She had an almost supernatural intuition, instantly sensing that the flame lightning light at his fingertip was aimed at her. Even the slightest touch would instantly erase her from existence, leaving no chance for defense.

The destructive power was terrifying.

No wonder he was the man she had vowed to pursue for life... How much more strength did he conceal?

Yuga Shinelu's heart raced, her blood boiling with excitement.

The stronger he was, the more motivated she felt to pursue him... Even though she knew the likelihood of ever surpassing or defeating this man, and claiming the immense happiness at the finish line, was slim.

Yet, that happiness awaited her at the end, never to disappear, inviting her relentless pursuit.

This realization alone brought Yuga Shinelu a sense of reassurance.

"Brother Xue..."

In Yuga Shinelu's excited and fervent gaze, thunder roared.

"Boom—!"

Amid the deafening sound, the flame lightning cannon unleashed its power, instantly piercing through the walls and striking the seemingly oblivious Divine Man.

In an instant, the upper half of the Divine Man's body turned to ash and vanished, leaving behind the lower half, its wound charred and blackened, with remnants of the annihilation flame lightning lingering, causing continuous harm.

...
