Chapter 327: The Second Limit Break-Level Output, Over-Specification Score (4K)



"Hey, that guy... Xue Jing?"

At the first floor of the Supreme Martial Ascension Palace, in the preparation hall.

A woman wearing a tight black leather outfit that accentuated her exaggeratedly sexy curves watched as Xue Jing and his group entered the palace. Her eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

She immediately reached back and touched her ear, whispering a few words, then followed Xue Jing, observing him with the corner of her eye.

Soon, several figures quickly and discreetly gathered around her.

"Where is he? Where's the person?" asked a burly man, clenching his fists and striking them together.

"Are you blind? Can't you see for yourself?" The leather-clad woman rolled her eyes at him.

The burly man scanned the area and soon spotted Xue Jing not far away.

His eyes lit up, and he licked his lips, "Indeed, he has a good-looking face... I'm impressed."

The leather-clad woman was already aware of his tastes and wasn't surprised by his words. She replied, "That person is clearly a normal guy with a bit of homophobia. He's the type who would feel uncomfortable even when touched by a handsome guy like Yuga Rinroku. If he hears what you just said, he'll probably beat you to death on the spot... Where's Li Sui Sui? Why isn't he here?"

"He's about to challenge the Sky Lord of the First Layer of the Sky, and he's currently in deep meditation to prepare. I can't reach him for the time being," the burly man replied.

Upon hearing this, the leather-clad woman was shocked, "So soon? He's already reached the level of a Sky Lord?"

At the top of the Supreme Martial Ascension Palace, the highest seventy-two floors are also known as the Seventy-Second Heavens, with one Sky Lord on each floor. More than half of them are fierce masters holding Eternal Titles.

Even the theoretically weakest Sky Lord of the First Layer of the Sky has always been guarded by super masters who have broken their limits three times or more.

"No wonder he's hailed as the 'Strongest Elementary School Student on Earth,' a genius beyond compare... It's truly outrageous," the leather-clad woman exclaimed.

A tall and thin man standing next to her, who had also been summoned by the leather-clad woman, scoffed, "He graduated last year and is now the 'Strongest Middle School Student on Earth.'"

"Besides, you're getting off track. Although Li Sui Sui is powerful and is on the verge of his second limit break, he's not yet at the level where he can be compared to a Sky Lord-level master."

"This challenge is from the Sky Lord of the First Layer of the Sky, Yu Ruo Xing Ci. She used her authority to bring him to the First Layer of the Sky... It's called a 'challenge,' but in reality, it's more like she wants to give him some guidance."

The leather-clad woman realized, "Oh, I see... I'm so envious of him. Yu Ruo Xing is someone who has held the Heaven Rank Title, and receiving her guidance will undoubtedly be immensely beneficial..."

As she spoke, she looked towards Xue Jing, who was presumably communicating with 'Mystic Wing' in the distance, and her eyes showed pity.

"Xue Jing is also a formidable genius, but this time he's going to become another stepping stone for Li Sui Sui's sacrifice. It's so pitiful."

The burly man crossed his arms, "There's no other way. It's because those old-fashioned masters from the Secret Martial Arts Society who have their eyes on him."

The tall and thin man nodded, "It's a pity... But in our Seventh Metropolitan Circle, we have several people of his caliber emerging from time to time. They still can't compare to a once-in-a-century talent like Li Sui Sui."

"The situation may not be so clear-cut. I heard that the Reformists are also planning to take action this time, and they seem to want to recruit Xue Jing into their faction..."

"Hmm? It seems his test is about to begin."

...

Xue Jing was used to being the center of attention and didn't pay much mind to the whispers and stares around him. Instead, he focused on the female voice of 'Mystic Wing' in his ear.

"Test Project One is in progress..."

"Construction complete, SC field is generating..."

In front of Xue Jing, an orange-yellow force field with a faint glow was continuously forming.

Countless visible letters and numbers surged from all around and converged on the force field, constantly filling and expanding its edges, causing the palm-sized force field to slowly grow larger.

Finally, it transformed into an irregular octagon-shaped semi-transparent orange force field, resembling a glass shield floating in mid-air, with a diameter of about two meters.

"SC field generation complete."

"Please use your full strength to strike the SC field in front of you."

Xue Jing's eyebrows rose slightly, "Full strength..."

This thing seemed a bit too fragile.

His full strength wasn't something to be taken lightly, and in such a crowded place, if this 'SC field' couldn't withstand it, the consequences would be dire, possibly resulting in more than just a few deaths...

Ning Yuan Tai, standing beside him, noticed his concern and smiled, "Xue Ge, don't worry."

"This thing is called the SC field, which stands for Simultaneous Connection, or 'Connected Field' in Chinese."

"Don't be fooled by its thin appearance. It's actually connected to the entire Supreme Martial Ascension Palace. Any attack directed at it will be evenly borne by every inch of the palace, which means that breaking this thing is almost impossible because it's the palace itself."

"It's been calculated that the strength of the Supreme Martial Ascension Palace is roughly equivalent to that of a continent. Unless one possesses the power to shatter a continental plate, it's impossible to break the SC field..."

Xue Jing nodded, impressed, "Wow... That's interesting."

With the defense of a continental plate, there was indeed no issue. No wonder 'Mystic Wing' was so confident, daring to conduct such a test in a public setting where super-powerful individuals might appear at any moment.

"In that case... I can give it my all."

Xue Jing's eyes shone with a smile.

He didn't have to worry about others going all out around him, as it was a rare opportunity for him to face such a situation in reality, aside from consciousness simulations.

Of course, the Supreme Martial Ascension Palace was a place for martial artists, and this time, he wouldn't use any divine skills other than Twin.

The Twin-Faced Son couldn't be summoned either.

He intended to rely solely on his pure martial arts prowess for this test... Of course, Twin, as a skill that only affected the body, was considered part of his physical talent and had always been classified under 'martial arts.'

"So, first..."

Xue Jing's eyes changed, turning into a silver-white divine indifference, and golden flames of anger slowly began to burn.

As he cultivated the Nirvana Technique for an extended period, constantly nurturing his spirit, Xue Jing's control over his emotions steadily improved. Now, although he couldn't fully control the use of 'Scale of the Heavens' Wrath,' it was much better than before, and he could stop it at any time.

Twin, activate!

Twin Flexibility, Twin Defense, Twin Power!

An overwhelmingly terrifying aura erupted from Xue Jing, spreading out in an instant!

A visible ring of powerful energy waves suddenly expanded, sweeping away the crowd around Xue Jing like a broom sweeping away trash. Everyone retreated in a circular pattern, creating an ever-widening empty space around Xue Jing.

The group of people observing Xue Jing, including the woman in the leather jacket, were taken aback.

"What's going on?"

"This aura... What is he planning to do!"

The surrounding people all noticed the unusual situation with Xue Jing and turned their gazes toward him.

"Who is that, such a powerful aura!"

"SC Forcefield... He's undergoing the first test round. It seems he's another first-time visitor to the Supreme Martial Ascension Palace."

"He's so young... Wait, isn't that Xue Jing!?"

"He's quite famous outside the circle. I've watched his matches!"

Cao Sinian and Ning Yuante, standing beside Xue Jing, were the ones most affected by the aura. Both were forced to retreat into the crowd.

Ning Yuante marveled, "Xue Brother is truly impressive. His aura before he acts is almost overwhelming."

Cao Sinian's eyes were sharp, "Teacher Xue... His aura is much stronger than when he was in the training ground. That wasn't even his full strength..."

Ignoring the attention from the crowd, Xue Jing's silver-white eyes looked at the SC Forcefield with a cold, indifferent gaze.

"Not bad, it's worth a try."

As he spoke, Xue Jing placed his hands slightly behind his waist.

Then—

"Continuous Serious Punch."

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—!!!!"

It was like countless missiles exploding, the terrifying sounds of impact resonated continuously and densely.

Xue Jing's hands moved so fast they became blurs, continuously striking the SC Forcefield, his punches so swift it seemed he had eight arms.

Each punch against the SC Forcefield produced visible white shockwaves, and the strong wind pressure created a typhoon-level gale inside the room, making it impossible for the onlookers to open their eyes.

Everyone had no doubt that if these punches had landed on the ground, or even in the air, they would have caused unimaginable catastrophic consequences.

However, the faint, seemingly fragile translucent orange light membrane remained completely unaffected, not even a slight tremor.

At the same time, at the top of the seventy-second layer of the Supreme Martial Ascension Palace, in the 'First Layer of the Sky,' a middle-aged woman named Yu Ruo Xing sat cross-legged, meditating.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked down thoughtfully.

In her perception, a faint vibration, so small she had to concentrate to detect, was coming from the entire Supreme Martial Ascension Palace.

Yu Ruo Xing softly called out to 'Mystic Wing' and communicated with it for a while, learning the reason.

"Interesting."

Yu Ruo Xing's eyes lit up, and she looked at the small, young boy sitting opposite her.

"Li Sui Sui, are you ready?"

The boy replied, "I am always prepared, Master Yu."

...

The gale ceased, and the sounds of impact stopped.

In the preparation hall of the first layer, countless martial artists lay scattered, like tangled earphones just pulled from a pocket.

Fortunately, everyone was skilled in martial arts and physically strong, so no one was injured.

Everyone got up and looked in shock at the young man standing in the middle of a large empty space.

At this moment, Xue Jing's body was enveloped in white steam, his skin a pinkish hue from the heat. He slowly opened his mouth and exhaled deeply.

In front of him, the SC Forcefield began to display visible numbers from the edges and gradually disappeared.

"Test Project One, completed."

"Generating data..."

"Data generation complete."

A holographic image appeared in front of Xue Jing.

Test Result for Project One

A+ Grade

Exceeded the A Grade standard, no further tests required. Please choose any starting floor below the ten-thousandth layer.

Since the result was displayed as a holographic image, the sharp-eyed martial artists in the room could see it clearly.

"What the hell, A+ Grade!?"

"How did he do that? Did he hit the 'Mystic Wing' at its most sensitive point!?"

"Didn't they say that only a Limit-Breaking Master can achieve an A Grade? Has he already broken the limit!?"

"No, he was clearly using a breathing technique! He's not a Dragon Gate Master who can use lethal moves without breathing!"

"Then how did he do it? This isn't just A, it's A+!!"

"Can someone tell me what A+ means?"

"It should be the level of a master who is close to the second limit break... or has already achieved the second limit break."

"That means... if we only consider attack power, this person, with an unbroken body... achieved an output level equivalent to a second limit break?"

Even the well-informed martial artists of the Seventh Metropolitan Circle were stunned by this result.

"Who is this person? I want his full profile in three seconds!"

"This is Xue Jing, an outsider. He recently won a championship and caused quite a stir outside the circle."

"What? This kind of person is an outsider?"

The woman in the leather jacket and her group stared at the A+ result.

"Li Sui Sui... What was his score before?"

The tall, thin man hesitated, "He entered the Supreme Martial Ascension Palace a year ago and got an A Grade..."

He paused and continued, "If Li Sui Sui were to test again now, he would definitely be at least A+... but that's because he's almost at the second limit break."

Everyone fell silent.

The woman in the leather jacket coughed and said, "We can only say that Xue Jing has indeed reached an incredible level in offensive power, even surpassing Li Sui Sui at the same realm."

"But that's normal. Li Sui Sui broke his limit with an undeveloped body, his physical strength hasn't reached its peak. Such a difference isn't surprising. Once he grows up, it should be..."

The muscular man suddenly said, "Xue Jing is also a minor."

The woman's lips twitched, "Hmm... That's true, but there's a four to five-year age gap."

"Anyway, when we enter the Iron Tree Sea, we have numbers on our side, so there won't be any problems."

Everyone heard this and silently made their plans.

When facing this monster... they would definitely protect everyone by standing in front.

...
