Chapter 295: Reversed Scale: Heavenly Wrath, Dragon Concealment Dojo's Challenge (4K)



Three days later, in the Dragon Concealment Dojo, Sch Jing was in his training room.

He stood at the very center, moving at an extremely slow pace, abnormally steady, and not a single tremor could be seen as he practiced the Quake Armor Technique.

In contrast to his steady movements, every time he shifted, his feet lightly touched the ground, causing the entire spacious room to tremble slightly.

At this moment, Sch Jing's head was adorned with lightning dragon horns, and his body flashed with silver-white electrical arcs. Under the influence of twenty times the normal gravity, his nearly two-hundred-kilogram body felt like a four-ton weight.

However, the floor beneath him effortlessly withstood this terrifying weight, and even when Sch Jing occasionally jumped and landed, the seemingly solid wooden floor showed no signs of breaking or cracking.

After the recent renovation, the Dragon Concealment Dojo used extremely strong special materials, especially in the dedicated training rooms for direct disciples, which were equipped with high-tech, high-end products procured from the Inner Ring.

After completing a full set of the Quake Armor Technique, Sch Jing exhaled, and with a twist and a tremor of his force, the sweat on his body turned into a mist.

He then sat cross-legged and began to cultivate the Yellow Maiden Energy, causing his five organs to move slowly like fetuses, as if they were living creatures, absorbing nutrients from his body and strengthening themselves.

At the same time, silver-white dragon lightning flashed and penetrated his organs, gently performing a 'electrotherapy' to stimulate and assist the Yellow Maiden Energy to operate more efficiently.

As he cultivated, Sch Jing split his focus, using the Yellow Maiden Energy to influence and mobilize his liver energy, stimulating his emotions and gradually making himself agitated and furious.

Ultimate Move: Reversed Scale.

Igniting his spirit with pure anger, he filled his body with it, pushing the power of motion to the extreme, breaking his own limits, and temporarily increasing his strength by several times.

This was an ultimate move that greatly enhanced one's combat power, but to use it skillfully, one had to solve two critical issues.

One was the source of anger—how to quickly ignite one's spirit and enter a state of extreme anger instantly, rather than slowly accumulating anger.

The other was how to control this anger... In martial arts duels, situations could change in the blink of an eye, and a calm mind was needed to constantly adapt to the changing circumstances. The berserker-style fighting caused by extreme anger was not desirable.

Sch Jing had found solutions to both problems.

Over the past three days, Sch Jing had been teaching Meng Qingjiao and Zong Shi Chan the Yellow Maiden Energy, and with his Teaching skill, his instruction was highly effective, leading to rapid progress for both Meng Qingjiao and Zong Shi Chan.

The better the results, the more experience the Teaching skill gained, not only leveling it up to Level 8 but also providing insights that deepened his understanding of the Yellow Maiden Energy through review and reflection.

Not only did his internal cultivation realm improve, but his efficiency in using the Yellow Maiden Energy to influence the liver and mobilize anger also increased.

Previously, it took two minutes of anger accumulation to enter the extreme anger state, but now it only required about one minute.

However, one minute or two minutes made little difference; it was still a significant problem. In actual combat, rarely would an enemy give you the opportunity to calmly close your eyes and slowly accumulate one minute of anger.

Therefore, before the Yellow Maiden Energy improved further, Sch Jing needed another method to quickly accumulate anger.

And he had a solution—Acting.

This skill, which had unknowingly reached Level 9, gave him an incredibly strong ability to manipulate his emotions, making it an excellent assistant for the Yellow Maiden Energy to quickly accumulate anger.

The only problem was... Acting's effect was too good, to the point of being excessive.

Once he activated Acting, he would instantly immerse himself in the role, finding it difficult to break free.

In simpler terms, he could start it but couldn't stop it.

The power of motion would overflow, completely uncontrollable, plunging him into a state of total irrationality.

This was the reason why, as the level of Acting increased, Sch Jing became increasingly reluctant to use it.

Only when his future martial arts realm reached a higher level, and the level of his Visualization: Truth skill also increased, strengthening his mental power and emotional control to the point of overcoming Acting's side effects, would he consider using it again.

That was his previous thought, but now the situation had changed.

He had found another way to maintain rationality in the extreme anger state.

—Heaven Blade Zen.

This peculiar mental state, evolved from the Asura Blade Zen, allowed Sch Jing's mindset to transform, making him feel like the Heaven Lord who controlled the life and death of all beings, looking down upon everything and everyone with indifference, believing himself to be above all living beings. With this mindset, he could wield a world-shocking blade that defied heaven's will.

This was something Sch Jing had once worried about, fearing that learning this Zen state might subtly influence his mind, turning him into a person who scorned everything with indifference.

Fortunately, the power of his Visualization of Truth was enough to keep his consciousness strong, suppressing the Heaven Blade Zen and preventing him from being too affected.

In theory, the Heaven Blade Zen and Reversed Scale were both 'Active Qi' states, one characterized by arrogance and the other by anger. However, they conflicted to a certain degree, as the Heaven Blade Zen's arrogance and indifference could, to some extent, suppress the extreme anger.

By using the Yellow Maiden Energy to stimulate his liver and act out his rage, he could instantly fill himself with anger and enter a state of extreme fury. Then, by employing the Heaven Blade Zen to suppress this anger, he could regain his sanity and achieve the perfect Ultimate Move: Reversed Scale.

This was the current train of thought for Sch Jing.

With a thought, he stimulated his liver energy, and his anger rose. He then acted out the role of a character consumed by rage, his entire body trembling and emitting a faint rumble, as if invisible flames were burning within him, distorting the light around him.

He slowly opened his eyes, and within his dark golden irises, two raging flames burned intensely. They drove him to destroy and vent his unbearable anger, unleashing it upon everything before him.

Sch Jing endured the fury, and just as he was about to lose his sanity, he forced himself into the Heaven Blade Zen, covering the flames of anger in his eyes with a silver-white hue.

The flickering flames in his irises gradually subsided and vanished...

Sch Jing calmed his mind and observed his emotional changes from a perspective akin to an omniscient observer.

Arrogance and anger were like water and fire; upon contact, they immediately neutralized each other. The overflowing anger quickly dissipated, and soon, Sch Jing was able to control it.

Sch Jing immediately exited the Heaven Blade Zen, and the silver-white hue faded from his pupils. The diminished flames of anger began to flicker and grow again.

After briefly experiencing this, Sch Jing shook his head.

"It's not quite right... After being weakened by the Heaven Blade Zen, I can regain my sanity, but it's not a state of extreme fury. I can't enter the Reversed Scale mode."

"Ideally, I should only suppress without weakening. I should maintain full anger while keeping my sanity, but it seems difficult to achieve. The conflict between the Heaven Blade Zen and anger is too great."

Sch Jing pondered for a while, deep in thought, when a flash of insight suddenly lit up his eyes.

"No, my approach is wrong!"

He stood up and began pacing back and forth in the spacious training room, which spanned over a hundred square meters.

"I shouldn't be thinking about having these two techniques suppress or weaken each other. Instead, I should focus on how to perfectly merge and integrate them."

"Arrogance and anger... they can coexist."

"The Heaven Lord may despise all living beings, but that doesn't mean he can't feel anger."

Sch Jing sat cross-legged again, eager to test his new idea.

However, he soon realized that testing it here might not be safe... mainly because it could be unsafe for those around him.

He closed his eyes and immersed himself in his mental space, initiating a consciousness simulation.

Countless pixel blocks spun and formed a scene, creating a modern city with neon lights and numerous buildings. Sch Jing slowly appeared on the rooftop of a tall building.

After confirming his data was intact, Sch Jing focused his mind, and silver-white hues filled his eyes as he entered the Heaven Blade Zen.

He switched the order of his actions.

Simultaneously, he activated the Yellow Maiden Energy to generate anger while acting out the role he imagined himself to be.

He was a god, the Heaven Lord.

In his eyes, all living beings were mere ants, and none could defy the will of heaven... But one day, these insignificant ants gathered together, daring to point their blades at the heavens.

Sch Jing was enraged!

How dare these ants show their ridiculous fangs to the mighty Heaven Lord! Who gave them the audacity?

Between the buildings, countless figures began to appear, all of them enemies Sch Jing had encountered in the past. There were humans, beasts, and insects...

Due to the side effects of the Divine Relic, Sch Jing had forgotten the names of most of these enemies, but he still remembered many of them.

All the figures focused their gazes on Sch Jing, filled with hostility.

In Sch Jing's silver-white eyes, golden flames ignited, and with an expressionless face, he slowly scanned his surroundings. Not a single figure could hold his gaze.

He spoke, his voice carrying a sense of grandeur, as if it came from the heavens.

"The human world has become polluted again."

As his words fell, a powerful wave of energy erupted from Sch Jing, spreading out with a mighty roar! The surrounding air trembled and distorted, as if scorched by invisible flames. The temperature seemed to rise slightly.

Among the countless figures around, most of them involuntarily bent their knees and knelt, cracking the asphalt and concrete floors with their kneecaps, blood oozing from their wounds as they cried out in pain.

"A nest of insects, how dare they bear the wrath of Heaven?"

With a clench of his fist, the Nightfall Blade appeared in Xue Jing's hand. He brandished the blade, and a hundred-meter-long blade aura slashed through the air, cleaving the skyscraper in two. Amidst the collapsing building's deafening roar, the enemies within the blade aura's reach shattered like dust.

"Ants, you've done your best."

Hundreds and thousands of enemies were annihilated as he swung his blade with abandon, wrecking them with ease.

Time seemed to blur as he fought, and soon, the entire area was in disarray. Bodies and rubble lay scattered for kilometers, not a single building left intact, all reduced to ruins.

Xue Jing stood atop a small mound of rubble, his silver-white eyes devoid of emotion as he surveyed the surroundings from his elevated position. The golden flames of anger gradually faded from his irises.

Only when the flames completely vanished, and the silver-white hue receded from his pupils, did he start panting heavily.

"Huff—Huff—"

"Damn, that was intense."

He placed his hand over his pounding heart, feeling the exhaustion coursing through his body.

Using the Heaven Blade's Contempt for All Zen, he imagined being defied by all living beings, evoking an extreme Heavenly Wrath... The effect was surprisingly good.

His physical strength had increased by at least five times, even more than the threefold increase of the Reversed Scale mode.

And this was just pure strength, not accounting for the terrifying aura and its suppressing effect on enemies in that state.

"But... The problem still remains unsolved."

Xue Jing scratched his head.

This move, Reversed Scale: Heavenly Wrath, was much harder to control than the simple Reversed Scale... Once unleashed, he struggled to control his words and actions.

He would uncontrollably utter arrogant and embarrassing statements, looking down upon all creatures before him as mere ants.

However, unlike the state of extreme anger where he lost all reason, he could still think, but his thoughts were clouded by this newfound contempt.

For instance, when facing enemy attacks, he would dismiss them as futile attempts by ants, not worthy of his evasion.

And when provoked, his attention would be easily drawn, feeling the urge to eliminate the provoking ant before tending to anything else.

He couldn't claim to be rational.

"It's quite a harvest... This move can be a trump card, but until I can control it, I should avoid using it unless absolutely necessary."

Xue Jing nodded, exiting the consciousness space and opening his eyes in the real world.

He raised his right hand and pressed the left side of the attribute panel on his wrist, checking his current five-dimensional attributes.

Body: 993

Mind: 107

Fate: 10538

Holy: 6167

Power: &￥%￥

"My training these past few days has shown good progress in Body and Mind, and Fate has been mysteriously rising... Hmm? Holy didn't change yesterday, but now it's suddenly increased by four hundred."

Xue Jing was puzzled.

When he first tested with the attribute panel, his Holy attribute was 5164. After the Twin upgrade to Level 10, it rose to 5757, confirming the theory that Divine and Extraordinary Skills increase the Holy attribute. Yet, in the past few days, he hadn't upgraded any such skills, and the Holy attribute hadn't budged.

But now, it had suddenly increased by over four hundred...

Xue Jing pondered, perhaps it was because he had just learned Reversed Scale: Heavenly Wrath, causing some change.

He didn't pay it much mind and was about to continue his martial arts practice.

Just then, a light knock came from the door.

Xue Jing stood up, walked to the door, and opened it. A male disciple from the dojo, dressed in a training uniform, stood there nervously. Upon seeing Xue Jing, he couldn't hide his excitement but quickly composed himself, bowing respectfully.

"Junior Brother, the Dojo Master wants to see you."

...

Xue Jing strolled to the Tranquil Chamber and knocked on the door before entering.

Inside, Li Qi was reading a book, rocking back and forth in his wheelchair. Seeing Xue Jing, he smiled and said,

"Ah, Little Jing."

"Master, did you call for me?" Xue Jing asked, nodding.

"Yes," Li Qi placed the book on the wooden table and wheeled himself over to Xue Jing, speaking gently.

"The date for the Moving Celebration Banquet has been set. Four days from now is an auspicious day."

"That day will be lively. Our Dragon Concealment Stream is new to this area, and according to martial customs, a sect must establish itself by setting up an arena and accepting challenges to prove its might... Little Jing, would you be our matchmaster?"

...
