Chapter 347: The Invincible Two-Faced God Child, You Are No Longer My Student (4K)
Chapter 347: The Invincible Two-Faced God Child, You Are No Longer My Student (4K)
The two-faced god child, as solemn and mysterious as a deity, stood before Xue Jing, with two bodies flanking him. One, with a detached expression, crossed his arms across his chest, while the other, with a compassionate demeanor, joined his palms together, exuding a sacred religious aura. Their bodies emitted a faint reddish-golden glow, making them stand out vividly in the darkness of the night.
The detached face, remarkably similar to Xue Jing's original form, looked down upon the crowd below with an emotionless gaze.
Everyone was left dumbfounded.
They couldn't understand why a powerful and strange humanoid creature had suddenly appeared and punched Zhou Yinglin, sending him flying.
Judging by his appearance, it was clear that he was related to Xue Jing and not a native creature of the Steel Tree Sea.
Combined with Xue Jing's words, it was highly likely that he had summoned this being.
What was the deal with this person, and why did he possess such a peculiar summoning ability?
Wasn't it said that his strength had been reduced to the same level as Xu Zixuan's?
Xue Jing's eyes sparkled with a smile.
GOD-287 had indeed affected him, and his overall strength had been reduced to the same weak level as Xu Zixuan's.
However, the strength of the two-faced god child, as a divine incarnation, had never been directly tied to his physical attributes from the start.
After a period of experimentation and various tests, Xue Jing had discovered the source of the two-faced god child's strength.
It was his Holy Index! The five dimensions displayed in the attribute table—Physical, Will, Tribulation, Sainthood, and Power—the Holy attribute referred to divinity and the level of life.
The growth of the Holy attribute was relatively complex. For instance, the improvement in Xue Jing's martial arts prowess could also enhance a small portion of the Holy attribute, but this portion was minuscule and almost negligible.
Most of the Holy attribute's growth relied on the upgrading of extraordinary and divine skills.
At this moment, his Holy attribute value exceeded 8,500 points.
Compared to the Physical attribute's value of around 1,700, it was five times greater! Although a direct numerical conversion wasn't possible, the two-faced god child's pure physical strength currently surpassed that of Xue Jing's original body by a significant margin!
Despite being unable to utilize martial arts due to not having a human body, the numerical superiority still granted the two-faced god child a combat prowess almost on par with Xue Jing's original body.
This strength, linked to the Holy attribute, was entirely unaffected by GOD-287.
It only reduced Xue Jing's Physical and Will attributes!
"Today, I'll show you what a proxy messenger is..."
Xue Jing extended his hand and pointed at the crowd.
"Go! My invincible Platinum Star!"
The two-faced god child responded and swiftly dived towards the crowd below.
"Block him! I can't afford to get injured now. If I die, Xue Jing will regain his peak strength, and we'll all be doomed!"
Xu Zixuan shouted anxiously.
Upon hearing this, everyone's mouths twitched. Those who had taken a step towards escape halted.
When faced with two evils, one must choose the lesser of the two. Fighting against a four-armed humanoid monster was far better than confronting the full power of Xue Jing.
Zhou Yinglin, who had just been knocked into the ground, seemed to have taken a severe blow, but in reality, he hadn't suffered significant injuries.
The monster didn't possess martial arts skills; it was solely its powerful physique. Everyone had realized this.
Otherwise, a strike of that magnitude should have caused Zhou Yinglin to explode on the spot instead of being driven into the ground.
As a result, Zhou Yinglin managed to use soft force to dissipate most of the impact into the ground, minimizing the damage he sustained.
Of course, this was a relative 'minimal' damage.
Even if they could deflect 90% of the force, 100% power was still formidable.
Reducing 90% of a 100-point damage would leave only 10 points, but reducing 90% of a 1,000-point damage would still result in 100 points!"
"Boom—!"
A robust male examiner stepped forward, his right arm bulging with veins, and unleashed a punch. The two-faced god child, diving from above, clashed with the examiner's fist.
A powerful circular air current erupted from the colliding fists, and in less than half a second, the male examiner screamed in agony. His right arm twisted like a pretzel, and countless shattered bone fragments pierced through his skin, protruding outward.
In contrast, the two-faced god child's fist remained intact, as sturdy as steel, and his divine, detached expression remained unchanged.
"Whoosh—!"
Three examiners attacked the two-faced god child from the left, right, and above.
Meanwhile, two others seized the opportunity to charge towards Xue Jing's original body.
Everyone knew that the most crucial task was to subdue Xue Jing himself first.
As the deadline loomed, the seal on the Demon King was about to be lifted, and everything would come to an end.
"A futile effort."
"Why don't you think about why I dared to keep the Two-Faced God away?"
Sch Jing shook his head.
"Well, you don't really have any other choice."
"I'm sorry, but your failure was sealed from the very beginning."
As the words were spoken, Sch Jing remained seated on the metal plant leaf, unmoving, while the two figures beside him punched and kicked him relentlessly.
His entire body shattered on the spot.
"Hmm? Success?"
Everyone was startled by this scene, their disbelief reaching its peak.
Could it be... this simple? Sch Jing's past performances had left a deep impression on them, and even though his strength had diminished to the level of Xu Zixuan, everyone subconsciously thought that killing him would be an extremely difficult task.
But it turned out to be this simple?
The three who were attacking the Two-Faced God were also distracted by Sch Jing's death, and they hesitated for a moment.
The Two-Faced God turned in a different direction, with its two sides facing the two people on the left and right. Its four arms grabbed one hand and one foot of each person, and with its overwhelming strength, it completely suppressed them, lifting them up and smashing them towards the sky.
"Puff—"
A dull sound echoed as the two bodies being smashed upwards acted like a clamp, perfectly catching the third person who was attacking from above. The three bodies collided, and the immense force caused them to explode in mid-air like three blood-filled meat bags.
Blood splattered like a rainstorm, and the three mangled bodies lost their vital signs on the spot.
The Two-Faced God emitted a faint reddish-golden glow, and all the blood that was about to land on it seemed to be blocked by an invisible membrane, unable to truly stain its body.
It remained immaculate, as if endowed with an absolute and inviolable divinity.
On the other side, Sch Jing, whose body had been shattered, showed no signs of bleeding.
Not a single drop of crimson could be seen at the torn openings; instead, they burned with black flames like black holes.
All the black flames that were burning in the air came to a halt, and then quickly converged towards the center. In no time, Sch Jing reappeared in the arena, completely unharmed, not even a strand of hair out of place.
He maintained his relaxed posture, sitting cross-legged on the metal plant leaf, as if nothing had happened. His body was adorned with black flames, exuding a sinister and mysterious aura.
This scene instantly filled everyone with despair.
"How is this possible..."
"How do we fight this? Who exactly is he?!"
"This is outright cheating..."
The Two-Faced God paid no heed to their feelings and took two steps forward, smashing the heads of the two examiners who were stunned in their places.
Everyone snapped back to their senses.
"Run!"
Including Xu Zixuan, everyone scattered like birds and beasts, sprinting away from Sch Jing as fast as they could.
Sch Jing shook his head:
"Where do you think you can run to?"
He stood up, his navy blue eyes burning with Shadow Flames. He randomly chose the direction of someone fleeing and leaped, landing on the Two-Faced God's shoulder, where it held him in place with one arm.
His current strength was diminished, and his speed wasn't fast.
But his slowness didn't mean the Two-Faced God was slow too.
Since the Two-Faced God couldn't stray too far from his original body, he could just have it carry him while running.
With the Twin Speed boosting the Two-Faced God, his current speed still far surpassed that of the examiners.
Not to mention, in the pitch-black environment, his advantage was even greater as the only one with vision.
The hunt began.
...
"Bang!"
Just two minutes later, the fourth fleeing examiner was blocked by Sch Jing. The Two-Faced God waved its fists, larger than a sand pot, and with a single punch, it sent the examiner sinking into the trunk of a metal tree.
The examiner's chest and abdomen caved in, their internal organs completely destroyed. Although they were still alive for the moment due to their martial artist constitution, it was a wound that could not be treated by conventional means, and they would not survive for more than a few minutes.
"Next..."
Sch Jing identified the direction and pursued the next target.
On a small path lined with steel trees, a small figure leaned against a large tree.
He lit a cigarette and smoked, his expressionless face shrouded in smoke.
A hurried figure quickly arrived and immediately showed joy:
"Li Sui Sui, Brother Li!"
"So you're here. Why didn't you take action earlier? Sch Jing is not human; we can't beat him at all. Hurry, time is almost up..."
Li Sui Sui took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled, and glanced at him without saying a word.
The metallic grass rustled as a towering figure, three meters tall, emerged from the thicket with a loud metallic creak. This colossal being took purposeful strides forward.
Sch Jing sat atop the Two-Faced Child's shoulders, observing the scene and glancing at the examiner.
"Sch... Jing!" the examiner exclaimed, his face contorted with fear.
Without a word, Sch Jing swiftly controlled the Two-Faced Child, striding forward and reaching out to grab the examiner.
The massive palm directly grasped the examiner's entire waist, lifting them up like a child holding a doll.
The Two-Faced Child's palm tightened its grip, causing the examiner's body to emit a sickening crackling sound as their bones shattered.
"Ahhhh!!!" the examiner screamed in agony, spewing blood and turning their head towards Li Suisui.
Li Suisui, unperturbed, continued to casually smoke, seemingly oblivious to the scene unfolding before them.
"Li Suisui, why are you just standing there watching!" the examiner cried out in disbelief.
Desperately, the examiner struggled to channel their energy, pounding their fists on the Two-Faced Child's palm, but it was like an iron clamp, unyielding to their efforts.
"Crack!"
The Two-Faced Child's palm tightened its grip, crushing the examiner's body, and then casually tossed them aside. Sch Jing's gaze fell upon Li Suisui, lingering on the cigarette in his hand. Shaking his head, Sch Jing said, "Suisui, you're still a child. Smoking isn't good for you."
Li Suisui took a drag from the cigarette and calmly exhaled, "Even children have stress to relieve... Although smoking doesn't stimulate me at all and has no effect on my body, I feel like it makes me look cool."
"Just don't tell my mom," Sch Jing smiled, "You're still a child, and your ideas are quite amusing."
He leaped off the Two-Faced Child's shoulders, landing gracefully on the ground.
"Suisui, why didn't you take action against me? Do you have any concerns?" Sch Jing asked.
Li Suisui shook his head, "No... I just find it pointless to win like this. It's like winning in a competitive game because your opponent has a poor connection or inferior equipment. There's no satisfaction in that."
Sch Jing rubbed his chin, "Oh? Is that so?"
"You're indeed different from anyone else I've met. You're fascinating."
Li Suisui continued, "More importantly, even in this situation, I don't think I could really do anything to you."
Intrigued, Sch Jing asked, "Why?"
Li Suisui glanced at him, "From the moment you appeared, you've shown no fear. Even when Xu Zixuan revealed the GOD-287, you didn't flinch... Not even when I stood against you."
"You're not the type to be stubbornly reckless. Logically, you should have turned and fled the moment you recognized the GOD-287. But you didn't, which indicates that you have some other reliance."
"Even if your strength is reduced to the same level as Xu Zixuan, you still have the reliance to survive against me."
"If that's the case, even if I took action, I doubt I could do anything to you. I'd just be taking advantage of the situation, becoming a petty opportunist. I don't like that, and it's not worth the hassle."
Sch Jing burst into laughter upon hearing this, "You're indeed a clever child."
After his laughter subsided, Sch Jing continued, "Time's almost up, Suisui. Step aside."
Li Suisui nodded and tossed the nearly spent cigarette butt to the side, moving away himself.
Hidden behind the tree trunk, Xu Zixuan, who had been silently observing the scene, felt his heart begin to race uncontrollably.
A chilling fear crept down from his scalp, enveloping his entire body in an icy grip.
The footsteps on the metallic ground seemed to echo in his heart, drawing closer with each step.
Step... Step... Step...
At one point, the footsteps stopped, seemingly right beside him.
Xu Zixuan's head slowly turned, and he looked to the side.
A figure, like a malevolent ghost in his eyes, came into view.
"It's a shame, Xu," Sch Jing said softly.
"You are no longer my student."
