Chapter 286: I Am a World-Defying Genius, Destined to Subdue This Era (4K)



"You're really going to let me go?" Xu Wen Kui was taken aback.

Although it was Sch Jing who proposed the trade, offering to help suppress the Divine Man with her Tranquil Abyss Eye in exchange for her freedom, Xu Wen Kui didn't believe Sch Jing would keep his word. She agreed only because she was at his mercy and thought it best to comply, fearing possible abuse or interrogation if she didn't help.

She wasn't a martyr who would endure torture and keep silent if captured by an enemy nation. There was no need to be stubborn. If Sch Jing asked her to do something, she would do it, and that was that.

But to her surprise, it seemed he was actually letting her go...

"I always keep my word. If I say I'll kill your entire family, I will. And if I say I'll let you go, I will. I don't go back on my word." Sch Jing stroked his chin as he spoke.

Xu Wen Kui felt a chill at his seemingly playful words.

The weight of one's words is determined by their identity and capabilities. After witnessing the young man's prowess, his words carried an extraordinary weight in Xu Wen Kui's ears.

She couldn't help but carefully consider the meaning behind every sentence and every word he uttered.

Unaware of the pondering look on the woman's face, Sch Jing, who had merely spoken in jest, continued, "Then, our first trade is successfully concluded... Now, before the plane lands, let's discuss our second trade."

Xu Wen Kui's expression didn't change, but she asked in confusion, "What?"

Sch Jing smiled, "Miss Xu, I bear no grudge against you... nor do I have any real conflict with your Xu Clan. My grudge is solely with Xu Mu De."

"And you, it seems, don't get along with Xu Mu De either, right?"

Sch Jing recalled Xu Wen Kui's behavior up to this point. She had immediately revealed her identity, wanting to spite Xu Mu De, and after being captured, she didn't hesitate to disclose everything, completely exposing Xu Mu De.

He crossed his arms and said with a matter-of-fact tone, "You dislike Xu Mu De, and I dislike him too. So, we're on the same side."

Xu Wen Kui tilted her head, "You mean you want to work with me to deal with Xu Mu De?"

Sch Jing chuckled at her question, "Work together to deal with him... Well, it's not that serious. He's just a mere Xu Mu De."

"My primary goal is to befriend you, Miss Xu."

Xu Wen Kui was puzzled, "Me?"

Sch Jing nodded, "Indeed. Miss Xu, you're a talented individual, and you hail from the prestigious Xu Clan among the Thirteen Great Houses. I'm willing to invest in you, helping you rise to a higher position, so that in the future, we can assist each other."

Xu Wen Kui hesitated, "This..."

She didn't know what Sch Jing was up to, so she asked in confusion, "How are you going to help me?"

Sch Jing smiled and said, "Miss Xu, you must hold a very important position in the Xu Clan's Divine Man Project, right?"

He looked into Xu Wen Kui's eyes, which resembled those of a mountain goat, capable of freezing objects in place.

These eyes, combined with the Primordial Wind, could easily suppress even a Divine Man with the most tricky abilities. It was a double insurance for dealing with a Divine Man's rampage, and both were essential for the safe conduct of Divine Man experiments.

As long as Xu Wen Kui returned to the Xu Clan with these eyes, she would remain a core member of the Divine Man Project.

"And Xu Mu De... Do you think he can still lead the Divine Man Project after this incident?" Sch Jing asked.

Xu Wen Kui thought for a moment and replied, "He made a big mistake this time, but it wasn't his fault. The Primordial Wind, for some unknown reason, activated its transfer and disappeared. This wasn't his fault. The subsequent remedial measures he took were foolish, but with the achievement of obtaining Adam's flesh and blood, it's unlikely to affect his continued leadership in the project."

"At most, the next batch of Divine Men won't be based on his genes."

"This means he will no longer be the controller of this batch of Divine Men, but merely their creator. He will have achievements but will lose the real power to control the Divine Men."

Sch Jing nodded, "As I thought."

What Xu Wen Kui said was in line with his expectations.

"Miss Xu, if Xu Mu De makes another mistake or several more mistakes... Do you have the confidence to take his place and become the leader of the Divine Man Project?"

Sch Jing smiled and asked.

A person's actions can reveal a lot of information... Xu Wen Kui, she would constantly cause trouble for Xu Mu De, and it's definitely not just because she dislikes him.

Her direct admission of being sent by Xu Mu De was most likely to use Sch Jing as a pawn, intending for Wu Youqing, who was backing Sch Jing, to take action against Xu Mu De.

For her to do this, she must have had her reasons, and the fact that she fought Sch Jing to the point of almost becoming a Pollutant proves that she wanted the plan to succeed.

Telling Sch Jing that she was sent by Xu Mu De is a risky move that could jeopardize the Divine Man Project, so there must be a significant benefit for her to do so.

This benefit is likely related to the Divine Man Project, and further speculation suggests that it's probably about Xu Mu De's potential downfall or removal, allowing her to take his place.

With interests aligned, the 'deal' Sch Jing truly wanted was not difficult to achieve.

Hearing Sch Jing's words, Xu Wen Kui's eyes flashed, and she said, "What do you want me to do?"

Sch Jing smiled and said, "It's simple... Just provide me with a little piece of information."

"For example... where you plan to create the next batch of Divine Men, and once they are mature, give me the location..."

Sch Jing revealed his true intention.

Divine Men, killing one would guarantee a minimum of five hundred points of Divinity.

He hadn't forgotten the dozens of 'Xu Mu De' soaking in the cultivation tanks when he infiltrated Xu Corporation Biology.

If he had known that each of these was worth a Divine Relic, Sch Jing wondered if he could have restrained himself from going on a killing spree.

But it wasn't too late now.

These bio-weapons, Divine Men, were incredibly powerful. Aside from the New Northern Ocean Council having many references, the special individual Sch Jing faced earlier, with the ability to warp spacetime, was a testament to their might.

Xu Corporation would never give up on creating more Divine Men.

Sch Jing's true intention in proposing this 'deal' was to target this lucrative opportunity... As long as he knew the location of Xu Corporation's next Divine Man experiment, he would rush over and take advantage of it.

And to obtain the location, he needed an inside informant.

There was no better choice than Xu Wen Kui.

If handled well, this opportunity might not be a one-time deal.

"This..." Xu Wen Kui was tempted but hesitated.

"Miss Xu, I can help you with many things," Sch Jing said gently, his voice soft yet strangely alluring, like a devil's whisper.

"I'm not boasting, but I'm a world-defying genius, destined to dominate this era."

"In the future, my status will be beyond your imagination, and even now, it's already dazzling."

"Becoming my friend, or even an unspoken 'accomplice', will never put you at a disadvantage."

Sch Jing spoke without a change in expression, sounding like a self-aggrandizing, delusional teenager.

But Xu Wen Kui, who had experienced his terror firsthand, didn't mock him; instead, she nodded in agreement.

"And I also need friends among the Thirteen Great Houses to plan for the future. I'll do my best to elevate your status within Xu Corporation so that you can help me in return someday."

As Sch Jing spoke, Xu Wen Kui's expression became more and more uncertain.

"If you just nod now, on some future day, you might accidentally make a mistake, like... sending a text message with a strange location to an unknown number."

"You won't know anything about it; you'll just be too tired from overusing your eyes, and it'll be like sleepwalking. You won't even realize you made such a small mistake."

"It'll be so easy for you to get rid of the bothersome Xu Mu De and gain a friend who will help you tremendously."

Sch Jing smiled, his demeanor calm and refined.

"There's no need to think about it, right?"

Facing the devilish whispers, Xu Wen Kui, usually calm and composed, showed a look of intense bewilderment.

Her heart raced, and after a long while, she took a few deep breaths to calm herself.

Xu Wen Kui had made up her mind, but instead of revealing it immediately, she asked Sch Jing, "I came here to kill you, and we have a life-and-death feud. Yet, you have no hesitation and even want to be 'friends' with me?"

Sch Jing chuckled, "Bai Qi didn't personally kill all the forty thousand Zhao soldiers, but the blame still fell on him.

"The same logic applies to you, Miss Xu. You are but a sword that follows orders, and it's not the sword that decides whom to kill, but the one who wields it."

Sch Jing approached her, towering over her with a condescending gaze, a smile in his eyes.

"Even if you wanted to kill me, it wouldn't matter... Who would care about the claws and fangs of a little cat?"

Xu Wen Kui was taken aback and gave a slight bitter smile.

"I'm just a 'little cat'...?"

...

The Dragon Core Fighter landed, and Xu Wen Kui stepped out of the cockpit.

As she walked away, Ning Fengwan, standing next to Sch Jing, crossed her arms, holding up a European Cup, her exquisite face expressing a sigh. "Ajing, you're so despicable right now."

Sch Jing was speechless. "Watch less Blade of the Immortal, or you might turn homo."

Ning Fengwan rolled her eyes at him, a flirtatious gesture, and hummed softly, "You're getting better at seducing women with your words and tactics. Although I don't know what you're up to, that woman must be wrapped around your finger."

Sch Jing felt wronged, "What seduction? What are you talking about? We were just negotiating a deal."

Ning Fengwan pouted, "Who negotiates with that kind of tone? Your voice was almost dripping with bubbles..."

Sch Jing let out an 'eh' sound, amused, and reached out to ruffle her soft cat ears.

Ning Fengwan, the cat-eared beauty, was too talented to be the leader of the Dragon Sect. She should be the leader of the Vinegar Sect instead.

The Dragon Core Fighter hovered and took off, approaching the Skyreach Center at around level 1000, following Sch Jing's orders.

"Wait here, I have something to take care of."

After Sch Jing's instruction, Ning Yuan Tai respectfully agreed, and Sch Jing exited the cockpit, arriving at the spot where he had previously separated from Yujia Shinelu.

Without waiting for him to search, Yujia Shinelu appeared from a hidden corner, waving at Sch Jing. "Sch Jing~ Over here!"

Sch Jing walked towards her, a smile on his face, "I just finished some business and had a chat with someone... Were you getting impatient?"

Yujia Shinelu's charming face lit up with a mischievous and adorable smile. She suddenly turned her head and hummed lightly, "I-I wasn't waiting for you."

Sch Jing: "..."

I've stubbed my toe on a table corner before, and that's what a yelp sounds like.

You're pretending to be your mother, Shinelu.

"Hehe~ How is it? Am I cute?"

Yujia Shinelu said with a mischievous smile.

Sch Jing maintained his composure, "Average."

This woman did possess some talent...

"Aw~ At least give me a better reaction, Onee-sama~"

Yujia Shinelu hugged Sch Jing's arm and cooed in a soft voice.

As she had hastily returned to her original appearance, she wasn't wearing her front armor. Her soft, top-tier Asian Cup pressed against Sch Jing's arm through the thin layers of clothing, creating friction...

This naturally seductive woman from the Far East... I'll take care of her personally.

Sch Jing's eyes twitched, suppressing his slightly agitated heart. He freed himself from her embrace, maintaining his composure, and said, "What are you going to do now? Is there a way to restore your previous state?"

Yujia Shinelu shook her head, reaching behind her head to untie the ribbon in her hair, letting her smooth, waist-length black hair fall naturally.

She held up the ribbon, now split into two pieces, in front of Sch Jing and said softly, "This is an unlisted divine relic, which I call 'Replace Pin with Hat'."

Sch Jing was taken aback by the term and searched for it on his phone, only then realizing it meant 'to replace a hairpin with a scholar's hat', symbolizing cross-dressing.

"It's not... I'm a Zhouxia myself, and I've never heard of this obscure idiom. How did you know it?"

Yujia Shinelu feigned innocence, speaking in a strange foreign accent, "I don't understand what you're saying, ni ni~ My Chinese is not good."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh, then switched back to her normal tone, "This divine relic, when worn, can perfectly transform a female body into a male one. From genes to sexual characteristics, it's indistinguishable from a real man."

"But... It's been cut, and its effect is temporarily lost."

Sch Jing took the 'Replace Pin with Hat' from her and said, "So, what do you plan to do?"

[Divine Factor detected. Absorbing Divinity...]



"This is my first time encountering this situation... Let's try to sew it back together first."

"Until its effect is restored, I'll just have to follow you, Sch Jing brother~"

Yujia Shinelu revealed a perfect, adorable smile, her white, neatly aligned teeth resembling porcelain.
