Chapter 358: The Reverse Power's Divine Application, Xue Jing's Invincible Move (4K)



A terrifying dragon with an elongated and majestic body, adorned with four large wings on its back, and a body seemingly encased in a layer of steel armor.

Its head bore sharp horns, and its dark silver body, despite being shrouded in dust, still emanated a faint glow. An aura of divine solemnity surrounded it, making those who gazed upon it feel their own insignificance.

The dragon's emotionless golden vertical pupils looked down from above, surveying the earth beneath it and the students below like insignificant ants.

"Wuuuu—"

A piercing alarm rang out across the city.

The Silver City government responded swiftly to the sudden appearance of the colossal beast, immediately sounding the alarm.

And then—

It vanished in an instant.

As if it had never existed, it was just a collective hallucination.

But the shattered buildings, the dust still settling, served as a constant reminder to everyone of what had just transpired.

"A dragon?"

"Where did it go?"

"Did everyone see that?"

The students exchanged bewildered glances.

"Damn, that was so cool. It's my first time seeing a real dragon..."

"Teacher Xue!"

"Teacher Xue is still inside!"

Ye Jingqiu suddenly spoke up, her voice filled with panic, almost on the verge of tears.

At her words, all the students became flustered.

Xue Jing was, in their eyes, a god-like powerful being. But... he was injured now.

The image of Teacher Xue's frailty from the previous day, where he almost needed their support, was still fresh in their minds. Just by looking at the dragon's appearance, they knew it was formidable. Its weight was unimaginable, and if it suddenly appeared and crushed the weakened Teacher Xue...

"Quick, let's save Teacher Xue!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

All the students rushed towards the collapsed building's ruins.

Beyond a thick layer of dust, they spread out to search.

Soon, Zhao Longtu, with his sharp eyes, found Xue Jing in a corner of the ruins.

"Teacher Xue, are you okay?"

At his shout, all the students turned towards the sound, quickly approaching.

"Teacher Xue!"

They gathered around Xue Jing, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and heaved a collective sigh of relief.

"What are you doing here? A dragon with an attack of 3000 and defense of 2500 suddenly appeared..."

He Han approached Xue Jing and began to speak, but his words caught in his throat.

He tremblingly pointed with a finger at the small dark silver dragon, no bigger than a cat, that Xue Jing held in his arms.

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

"Teacher, you're a Duelist..."

"Bang—"

Chen Xingyan punched He Han on the back of his head and said exasperatedly, "Stop fooling around."

"Are you hurt, Teacher? Is this dragon a toy? It's so well-made... Holy crap, it moved!"

"Wait, how is this toy similar to the dragon we saw earlier..."

"Could it be..."

Everyone thought of an incredible possibility.

Xue Jing smiled, stroking the head of the Reverse Dragon in his arms, and said, "I'm fine. Don't worry."

...

The Silver City government officials arrived promptly to inquire about the situation.

The appearance of such a massive dragon was taken seriously by the authorities, and experts speculated that it might be an unheralded sudden phenomenon of interdimensional overlap, throwing a creature from another world into the present one.

Staff members from the Xuanwu Mansion, students, and even residents from the suburbs several kilometers away who had witnessed the event were all questioned.

Xue Jing, however, revealed his triple-agent identity as an unofficial member of the Cease War, White Raven, and a B-rank containment officer of the Wu Containment Company, politely declining the official inquiry.

He also instructed the students to simply say they knew nothing.

Inner Ring of the Seventh Urban Circle, the wilderness within.

High above a vast forest, a dark silver dragon with a body length of several dozen meters and an elegant, elongated body vibrated its four large wings. Each flap created a deafening roar, generating powerful air currents that whipped up fierce winds, causing trees and grass to bow and bend.

As it glided through the air, every creature in the forest, from apex predators at the top of the food chain to mindless insects, scattered in panic as if facing a natural disaster.

Xue Jing sat cross-legged atop the head of the Reverse Dragon, arms folded across his chest, deep in thought.

After a day of exploration, he had a basic understanding of the Reverse Dragon's abilities.

First, its fundamental condition was...

Like the Two-Faced God, it has a physical form and, without using any special abilities, is an exceptionally powerful fighter.

Its massive body can reach up to nearly fifty meters in size, and in terms of sheer physical strength, it surpasses even the Two-Faced God.

Furthermore, it possesses the ability to transform, changing its size at will, from a maximum of fifty meters down to the size of a small cat.

However, when it shrinks, its strength diminishes accordingly, as its physical might is directly proportional to its size. To maximize the power of the Reversal Dragon, it needs to maintain its largest form.

Additionally, it can fly.

Not through metamorphosis, but inherently, as it possesses the ability to soar through the skies.

This is due to the Dragon Species' Force Field.

Without any energy consumption, as the king of the Sky-Dwelling Species, a creature beloved by the sky, it can remain airborne indefinitely.

The four large wings on its back are merely for acceleration.

After covering the basics, let's delve into its special abilities.

There are two of them.

The first ability is Morphing.

With a thought, the Reversal Dragon beneath him opened its mouth and roared.

"Roar!"

Amidst the dragon's roar, silver-white dragon lightning crackled and spread across its body, with arcs of electricity flashing. The lightning converged in front of its mouth, forming a silver-white dragon lightning cannon.

"Buzz—"

The light cannon, like dragon breath, blasted out, sweeping across the forest below.

Wherever the light cannon passed, the forest instantly transformed into a pencil sketch, erased by a rubber. Vegetation disappeared, leaving behind a deep trench in the ground, still crackling with silver-white electricity.

Then, with another thought, the Reversal Dragon underwent a transformation. Its dark silver body began to change, its scales spreading slightly, resembling the Burst Scale state, with faint crimson lightning flickering between the scales.

The dragon's horns also transformed, twisting into sharp, spiral shapes, identical to the horns on Xue Jing's Crimson Lightning form.

The Reversal Dragon opened its massive jaws, and this time, crimson lightning condensed and compressed in front of its mouth, accompanied by the dragon's roar. A massive lightning cannon of crimson lightning erupted, plowing through the forest once more.

The entire forest's animals, startled by the blast, either turned to charcoal or fled for their lives, creating a loud rustling noise.

"Hmm, not bad."

Xue Jing nodded.

The morphing ability is an extension of the Dragon Horn, allowing the Reversal Dragon to use Dragon Lightning and Annihilating Crimson Lightning, with even greater power than Xue Jing himself.

When changing forms, its physical body also undergoes alterations.

The strength and size of the Reversal Dragon are directly proportional; the larger it is, the more powerful and energy-consuming its lightning and crimson lightning attacks become.

In the future, if there's an opportunity for the Dragon Horn to absorb a 'Special Divine Attribute,' it's likely that additional morphing forms will be unlocked.

However, the true highlight is its other ability.

Xue Jing calls it 'Reversal Power.'

He controlled the Reversal Dragon to stop in mid-air, then leaped down from its head, landing in the forest below.

The Reversal Dragon shrank to the size of a cat and flew to Xue Jing's shoulder.

Xue Jing scanned the area, locking onto a large tree. He extended his right hand, forming a blade with his fingers, and slashed diagonally.

The tree initially showed no reaction, but after a few seconds, the severed trunk slowly slid down, crashing to the ground with a loud thud.

The cut was incredibly smooth, as if sliced by an incredibly fine line.

Xue Jing effortlessly lifted the tree, nearly ten meters tall and thicker than a person, and hurled it forward with a mighty swing!

The tree shot forward like a cannonball, reaching a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, the golden vertical pupils of the Reversal Dragon on Xue Jing's shoulder lit up.

The flying tree instantly halted in mid-air, as if the law of inertia ceased to exist. It went from a speed of 100 to a complete stop in an instant, without any deceleration.

It was as if the video had been paused.

Then, the tree flew back with the same speed it had been moving forward, retracing its path perfectly. Not even a nanometer of deviation existed in its trajectory, mirroring its forward motion exactly.

Even the subtle speed variations caused by air resistance during its forward movement were perfectly reversed, without any deviation.

"Reversal Power," Xue Jing murmured as he caught the tree that had returned to his hand.

The effect of this ability is simple.

It can make a moving object completely reverse its trajectory, creating a phenomenon akin to time reversal.

...Or in other words, this is undoubtedly a reversal of time.

Time itself is a scalar that records the movement of matter, and reversing the trajectory of matter's movement is essentially a 'time reversal'.

However, this 'time reversal' is limited to an individual object, rather than a reversal of the entire world's material movement.

"This ability is powerful... but it depends on how it's used."

Sch Jing's eyes narrowed in thought.

This ability reminded him of the skill 'Reverse the Heavens' in the Tears of the Kingdom of Zelda.

Aside from its auxiliary functions, although controlling larger kinetic energy and inertia increases the consumption of reverse force, in a battle of equal strength, even a momentary pause for the opponent can be a decisive factor in determining victory or defeat.

Of course, this is just the crudest way to use it.

This ability can be used offensively, and among all the abilities Sch Jing currently possesses, it is the strongest in terms of sheer attack power, without a doubt.

But it requires some skill to use...

Sch Jing glanced at the large tree in his hand, waved his hand, and split it in half.

Holding one half, he placed it flat on his palm and walked forward a few steps in a straight line before setting it on the ground.

He then returned to his original position and cast the Reverse Force on the half-tree.

The half-tree on the ground immediately started moving, as if an invisible, transparent person was carrying it. It rose into the air and slowly flew towards Sch Jing's location.

At this moment, Sch Jing raised the other half of the tree, blocking the path of the returning half-log.

"Crack—"

Without the slightest pause, Sch Jing felt an unstoppable force coming towards him, and the half-log in his hand was directly smashed. The returning log strictly followed its original trajectory, returning to its original position.

"The trajectory of material reversal is unstoppable... No matter how strong the force, it's impossible to block it."

Sch Jing picked up the wood again, threw it away, and then used the Reverse Force to make it return along its original path.

This time, he raised his palm and blocked its trajectory.

After the wood came into contact with his palm, it shattered inch by inch, slowly flattening and disintegrating into nothingness.

"However, due to its own physical strength limitations, although the trajectory cannot be blocked, when it comes into contact with a substance far stronger than itself, it will shatter due to the unstoppable movement."

Sch Jing's eyes gradually lit up.

"This means that when a strength-1 object is reversed, it can inevitably penetrate all substances with a strength below 1 along its trajectory."

"So..."

Sch Jing reached into the invisible void, slowly drawing out an old, beautiful long sword.

GOD-519·Blade of Eternal Durability.

Its ability is—Eternal Durability.

Theoretical strength—Infinite.

"Am I invincible now?"

Sch Jing rubbed his chin.

With the Blade of Eternal Durability by his side, he could throw it out, then use the Reverse Force on it, combining its eternal durability and infinite strength with the absolute unstoppable reverse trajectory. In theory, it could pierce through all the matter in the world, right?

Additionally, he had a skill that could bring about a qualitative change in the application of this ability...

Featherization.

After Featherization, the Blade of Eternal Durability could fly freely in the air, like a flying sword, tracing out any trajectory.

The simple act of 'throwing it out' and 'reversing it back in a straight line' became a highly flexible technique, allowing him to draw out any trajectory at will.

"Wow, I seem to be truly invincible."

Sch Jing's eyes widened slightly.

If he had obtained this ability earlier, Shen Tu Guang would have been no match for him, and he wouldn't have had to endure such a difficult scheme.

He could have shown Shen Tu Guang the true meaning of the laws of physics.

The only issue was that using this tactic would be a bit strange, as he would have to make the Blade of Eternal Durability fly backwards, pretending to stab someone with the hilt... so that when it returned, the blade would be at the front.

"Awesome!"

With another powerful weapon at his disposal, Sch Jing's mood improved, and he leaped into the sky.

The Reverse Dragon emitted a dragon's roar, and its body instantly grew to dozens of meters in size, catching Sch Jing's body with its dragon head.

"Boom—"

Amidst the flapping sound that stirred up a storm, the dark silver dragon headed back towards Silver City.

...

Silver City, Stop-War Base.

In a room, Ning Yuan Tai, the captain of the Stop-War 65th Squad, Yang Yingyu, the vice-captain Zhuang Qiu, and a middle-aged man with a refined appearance were sitting together.

Ning Yuan Tai sighed, "Base Leader Zhang, you might have made a mistake this time... The Commander will not be pleased."

...
