I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

"What do you think, Mr. Xue, the successor of Hidden Dragon School, about having a True Dragon hidden within you?"

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow, "I just practice martial arts called Hidden Dragon School, I'm not an actual dragon. Could it still be a restraint on me?"

Ning Fengwan pinched her chin, pondering, "It seems that God's power really is such an unreasonable thing."

"I now have a vague feeling, just sensing that you are a 'dragon', and in front of the Serpent Slayer Spearhead, you could easily be torn apart."

Xue Jing's mouth twitched.

What was this all about? A combat dinosaur? A dinosaur nemesis?

I practiced a martial art related to dragons, and it added a debuff to myself?

He suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed, "Wait, aren't you the Sect Hierarch of Dragon Cult?"

"And you ended up with a power that restrains dragons?" Xue Jing's face showed a bizarre expression.

One wonders what kind of face Mr. An, who wanted Ning Fengwan to go to the main shrine of Dragon Cult to accept the consecration ceremony, would make if he knew the current situation.

Ning Fengwan felt odd herself, shaking her head and saying:

"Before this, Dragon Cult was named a religion, but in fact, it was a gang... If Mr. An hadn't found me, I wouldn't even know that Dragon Cult actually worships a Heretic God."

She retracted the silvery white claw named 'Serpent Slayer Spearhead' and scratched her face, looking troubled.

"I originally thought that if I was really out of options, I would go to the main shrine to have a look, but now things have gotten more complicated..."

Xue Jing put his arm around her waist, holding her close in his arms, and smiled, "Let's think about what comes next, later."

Ning Fengwan nodded lightly, resting her head on Xue Jing's chest, feeling a sense of peace within her.

But it wasn't long before she sat up, and asked in a low voice:

"Your... How come it's not sheathed?"

Xue Jing, resignedly, "Teacher Wan, are you really unaware of your own charm... How could I do that without any thoughts at all?"

"What should we do then?" Ning Fengwan asked, troubled.

Xue Jing thought for a moment, then leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing him, Ning Fengwan's face, already flushed, grew even redder as she quickly shook her head:

"No… That's impossible... How could we..."

Xue Jing didn't give up, but continued to tempt her like a devil:

"The condition for you to deepen your fusion with Bastet involves me... You understand, right? Doing this will have benefits."

"In the future, to continue receiving Bastet's power, do I have to forcibly hold back every time?"

"Teacher Wan, you wouldn't be so cruel, would you..."

His tone was exceedingly gentle, without a hint of hurry, simply persuading her on the merits of doing so.

Ning Fengwan already found it difficult to resist him and was pressured by his seemingly logical reasons, her mind immediately getting fuzzy as she murmured:

"Then I... I'll give it a try."

...

There's not much to say about the process.

Basically, Xue Jing went 'biubiubiu'.

Worth mentioning is that, during this process, the Cat Tail Ring emitted platinum light again, and Xue Jing absorbed another wave of Divinity.

The only thing Xue Jing found slightly concerning was that the Tiger Tooth really did some damage.

Fortunately, he had Golden Scale Skin that perfectly withstood it, even finding it a little stimulating.

In the bathroom, Ning Fengwan wore only Xue Jing's white T-shirt, which was much too large for her, hanging down enough to cover her thighs.

With a toothbrush in hand, she was brushing her teeth vigorously, her cheeks still bearing the unvanishing blush, and her eyes cast a reproachful look at Xue Jing beside her.

Just thinking back to being forcefully held down... She almost coughed herself to death.

Initially, they had agreed it would only involve a hand...

Then he started to deceive her, saying that a hand wasn't enough...

The girl felt somewhat regretful and self-accusing.

Why did she give in to such an impulse and agree to do such a thing?

She spit out the toothpaste foam and rinsed her mouth, then said angrily:

"Bastard, this is the last time! Don't ever think about it again!"

Xue Jing, standing by the side, appeared inexplicably refreshed and simply agreed with everything said, "Alright, alright."

Ning Fengwan was annoyed by his perfunctory attitude.

"Xue Jing, you're quite pleased with yourself, aren't you!"

Xue Jing looked innocent, "How could I, Teacher Wan."

Ning Fengwan's slender and spirited phoenix eyes showed a touch of determination, "Don't think I'm just talking. This is absolutely the last time. Even if you kneel down and beg me next time, I won't help you."

Xue Jing placed his hands on her shoulders, comforting, "Come on, Teacher Wan, don't be angry. I'll be more careful next time."

Ning Fengwan glared at him, "There won't be a next time!"

Xue Jing chuckled, "Okay, okay, no next time."

...

Late at night, Xue Jing lay in bed.

Ning Fengwan had turned back into her black cat form and was curled up asleep on his chest.

He gently stroked Miao Miao's smooth fur and opened his panel to glance at it.

[Divinity: 309]

"To have so much..."

Xue Jing pondered thoughtfully.

Just by promoting a single fusion between Ning Fengwan and the Cat Tail Ring, he had gained so much Divinity, almost equal to what he received from absorbing a Divine Relic.

If he could absorb this much every time, wouldn't that mean he was about to take off?

Maybe it wouldn't be long before he saw what the Divine Incarnation of Twin Lifes or Shadow Flame was really like.

"But in the end, what exactly is 'Divinity'?"

Xue Jing always harbored this doubt in his heart.

If Divinity were the source of power for Divine Relics, then those he had absorbed Divinity from should have lost their intrinsic abilities.

However, the Divine Relics from which he had absorbed Divinity showed no change at all... at least none that he could perceive.

The same was true for the Heretic God Bastet... After Ning Fengwan had her Divinity absorbed by him, she still gained the power of Bastet and acquired the ability called 'Serpent Slayer Spearhead.'

After much contemplation, Xue Jing shook his head.

Forget it, he would think about this later, as it seemed to have no impact for the time being.

He opened his panel and scrolled down to the Divine Skill section.

His finger moved between Twin Lifes and Shadow Flame.

"I wonder what enhancements Shadow Flame Lv2 would bring... probably reduced consumption, increased power, and the like."

Xue Jing thought it over and decided to upgrade Twin Lifes.

Currently, the culminating requirements for other conditions had not yet been met, so Divinity was not immediately needed.

There was no urgency in upgrading Shadow Flame either.

And now that he had just the right amount of 300 points of Divinity, he could level up Twin Lifes once more.

[Twin Lifes Lv3 (Divinity required for upgrade: 9/500)]

[Passive: Possess two lives, with the ability to choose the time of resurrection within seven days after death, cooldown time: seventy days]

[Active: At each Lv1, designate one physical attribute to produce double effect during usage]

[Currently activated: Physical Strength, Action Speed]

[Currently selectable: Physical Defense, Reaction Speed, Calculative Ability, Concentration, Memory...]

The cooldown time for the passive ability of Twin Lifes at Lv3 had decreased by another ten days, which brightened Xue Jing's eyes.

It seemed his previous guess was right; each level could reduce the cooldown time by ten days. Perhaps reaching Lv10 would indeed allow unlimited resurrections?

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he turned his attention to the selection for the active effect.

What should he pick this time?

Xue Jing's gaze moved back and forth between Reaction Speed and Physical Defense.

Logically speaking, Reaction Speed was a very good choice, but Physical Defense meant more than just defense for him at present...

Physical Defense, in other words, is the ability of the body to endure.

The upper limit of what the five deadly moves of the Hidden Dragon School could achieve was almost entirely related to bodily endurance...
