I will eventually become a god

As the car drove on the cobblestone driveway, Xue Jing looked at the elegant scenery in the manor through the car window, and unconsciously tapped Fu Tu's scabbard with her fingers.

"That's the stable over there. Junior brother, have you ever ridden a horse?"

Zhu Shanying pointed to a circular fence on the grass not far away. There was a row of wooden fences inside. Each stall contained large horses of various colors with beautiful coats. There was a servant holding a big spoon. , add food to the manger.

"How about we go horse riding later? Going out from the back door of my house is the back mountain of Beicheng District. It is a good place for horse racing."

Xue Jing shook his head: "I can't ride a horse."

Zhushan Ying's smart eyes were full of smiles: "That's not right, I'll teach you."

Xue Jing wanted to refuse, but suddenly realized something, thought about it, and said with a smile:

"Okay, let's try it."

Zhushan Ying let out a sigh, a little surprised.

"I thought you would look serious and say, 'I'm here to practice martial arts, not play,' and refuse righteously."

She reached out and poked Xue Jing's cheek, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are more interesting than I thought, little junior brother."

The car slowly stopped in the small square in front of the main house, the door opened, and Xue Jing got out.

He glanced at the beautifully shaped fountain in the center of the small square and asked Zhushan Ying who had just gotten off the car:

"Where are senior sister's family members? I have to say hello."

This time I came to Zhushan Ying's home mainly because I need an open space to practice martial arts, especially the practice of sword skills.

He usually has trouble performing in the training room of the Hidden Dragon Dojo, and can only practice basic sword skills.

The training hall was full of ordinary disciples, so it was quite uncomfortable to be restrained during training for fear of cutting someone off, and being watched all the time.

It happened that the Hidden Dragon Dojo was going to be renovated this time, and Zhu Shanying said that her home was very big and she could let go as much as she wanted, so Xue Jing agreed. Otherwise, she would have to find a new place to practice martial arts, which would be troublesome.

Now that I have come here, I must say hello to Zhushan Ying's family, so as not to lose etiquette.

Hearing Xue Jing's words, Zhushan Ying shook his head, "No one in my family is in Qingcheng. Apart from the servants who take care of it, I live in this house by myself."

Um?

Xue Jing raised her eyebrows and glanced at her.

"Why, Senior Sister Zhu, where did you come from, a young lady from the city who came to experience life in the countryside?"

Zhushan Ying curled his lips and said: "That's almost true...but your statement is weird."

"Qingcheng is the place where my ancestors started their lives... Before my ancestors passed away, they left their last words, saying that Qingcheng is the place where our family thrives. Our family members have to come here and live here for a period of time every year."

"When I came to live in Qingcheng two years ago, I met my master and became his teacher. I settled here for a long time to practice martial arts."

After hearing this, Xue Jing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

How come there are so many sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks in a small sunny city?

Although I don’t know the exact extent of Zhu Shanying’s family background, but from the fact that her ancestors dared to use the words ‘Longxing Land’ to describe Qingcheng, I knew it was absolutely incredible.

In addition to Zhu Shanying, there are also master Li Qi, the 'Dragon Prince' who withdrew from the Inner Ring City, and Wu Youqing, who doesn't know the exact level of awesomeness, but is definitely very awesome.

This is still related to him, but there are countless others who are not.

"Senior Sister Zhu's ancestors are knowledgeable and have a saying about the 'Longxing Land'."

Xue Jing shook his head and said.

Qingcheng is indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and the biggest 'dragon'... is himself.

Zhushan Ying waved his hand nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. Come on, junior brother, let's go in."

After saying that, she walked towards the main house in front first, with Xue Jing following behind her.

The huge black double wooden doors slowly opened, and what came into view was the entrance corridor decorated in soft beige tones.

To Xue Jing's expectation, the decoration style of the main house did not pursue high style, but was quite homely, with traces of modernity everywhere aiming to pursue comfort and practicality.

Apart from being a bit ridiculously big, the whole house has a very down-to-earth style. There are basically no flashy things like oil paintings, antique sculptures, crystal chandeliers and the like.

After passing the entrance hall, there was a small living room on the opposite side. However, Zhushan Ying did not take Xue Jing there. Instead, he took him to the second floor by turning the stairs in the corridor on the left.

"I live in this house by myself now. Junior brother, you can wander around as you please without worrying about anything."

Zhushan Ying walked up the stairs and talked, Xue Jing followed behind her. As the two of them climbed up and down, their eyes would inevitably fall on the girl's round and round figure.

Twisting and twisting, in contrast to the slender waist, it shows the youthful but fatal temptation.

Xue Jing didn't look much, but turned to look around at the house's exquisite structure, lighting design, etc.

"There is a pretty big swimming pool on the third floor. Junior brother, if you are tired from practicing martial arts and want to relax, you can go there. Swimming is very comfortable."

"That's the library over there. Many of them are out-of-print books from outside. You can't buy them..."

Zhu Shanying took Xue Jing roughly around the house, introduced the basic layout, and finally took him to the fifth floor.

The door opened, revealing a huge and extremely spacious room, dozens of meters long and wide at first glance, with a light gray rubber floor and nothing else except dozens of load-bearing columns and some equipment.

"This is the training room. Junior brother, you can practice martial arts here, or you can go to the courtyard. You can also go directly to the back mountain of Beicheng District from the back door, which is very convenient."

Zhu Shanying said with a smile.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Zhu."

Xue Jing thanked him.

"That's it. Junior brother, you can practice first. I have all the medicinal materials here. The small room over there is where I prepare the medicine. You can use it as you like."

Takeyama Ying pointed to an inconspicuous door in the corner of the practice room.

"I still have something to do. I will come back to have dinner with you at noon. Then I will teach you how to ride a horse."

The girl said, waved her hand and left the practice room.

Xue Jing suppressed the strange feeling of being taken care of in her heart, shook her head, took a deep breath, and began her daily practice.

…

On the other side, outside Qingcheng, is a deserted wilderness.

Jiao Hongyuan opened his eyes and coughed violently.

"Cough cough cough——"

With every cough, he would spit out a mouthful of black blood that was so thick that it was almost solid. He could not help but cover his heart with his hands, his face full of pain.

Li Chengxuan, who was sitting next to him, saw this and quickly stretched his hand behind his back and said with concern:

"Master...are you okay?"

Jiao Hongyuan waved his hand and looked down at his Dantian.

A circular hole was torn in the clothes there, and there was a spiral wound three fingers wide on the exposed abdomen.

It should have been a big hole, but he controlled his muscles and forcibly contracted them to form a spiral shape.

"The body that has been refined over the past sixty years cannot withstand a blow from this junior."

Jiao Hongyuan sighed.

"Time is not forgiving."

How could he be bullied to this extent if he were twenty years younger?

"Master, what should we do now?"

Li Chengxuan asked in a low voice.

He was a little panicked.

In his eyes, the master who was almost invincible could be beaten like this...

And, maybe, probably, probably, seems, seems, seems to be his fault?

No, Li Chengxuan denied this idea.

He went to the Hidden Dragon Dojo because he wanted to find an explanation for the death of Senior Brother Kaiping, and wanted to ask Xue Jing what was going on.

I just didn’t expect the people at the Hidden Dragon Dojo to be so ungrateful...

Hiss... No, it seems that he also has a lot of martial ethics. He only let Xue Jing, who is younger than him, fight with him...

Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore, it's happened.

Even if he has 99% of the problem, don't the people at Hidden Dragon Dojo have 1% of the responsibility?

Both sides have problems, and there is no point in arguing about who is right and who is wrong.

Li Chengxuan thought to himself.

Jiao Hongyuan looked at Li Chengxuan with complicated eyes.

It seemed like disappointment, or something else.

He sighed and said with waning spirits:

"Chengxuan, you should go to Maple City immediately. The knockout round is about to begin."

Li Chengxuan whispered: "But... there is still more than a week. I want to spend more time with you, old man."

Jiao Hongyuan glared at him.

"You still don't understand? I asked you to go out and get away!"

"The Hidden Dragon Dojo is not something to be trifled with. They won't just let it go."

"And they also know that I won't just let it go."

Jiao Hongyuan held his stomach.

"You, a kid like you, can't get involved anymore. Go to Maple City quickly. Your injuries also need to be treated. I know a doctor over there who is very good..."

At this time, a deep voice suddenly came from the side.

"Okay, you guys can talk about this shit later."

An extremely tall man wearing a black windbreaker that covered his whole body was sitting on a dead tree trunk that had fallen to the ground nearby.

He rested his elbows on his knees, folded his two broad palms together, and stared at Jiao Hongyuan and Jiao Hongyuan without emotion with his green eyes.

The man's head didn't have any hair, and there were six button-like things inlaid on the top. From the corners of his face was a black mask that covered most of his face. The mask was not worn, but sewn to the skin.

He has an extremely majestic figure. Although he is in a sitting position, his upper body alone makes him look extremely tall, at least two meters tall.

When Li Chengxuan heard the man speak, he immediately fell silent.

The reason why they were able to escape from the monster in the Hidden Dragon Dojo was because the man in front of them held the monster back.

"Jiao Hongyuan, how did you go about the things you were asked to do?"

"The 'Great Conference' will be held in two months, but don't tell me that the progress is only so little."

There was a mechanical chill in the man's voice, without even a trace of emotion.

Jiao Hongyuan coughed a few more times and said slowly:

"The mature individuals have been cultivated and are accumulating output. What are you anxious about?"

The man stared at him for a while, then nodded and said:

"It better be."

"Besides, this is the last time I will help you... The company must not have anything to do with this matter, you know it."

The man spoke expressionlessly.

"You have to solve your own affairs by yourself."

Jiao Hongyuan chuckled.

"I didn't expect anything, so you don't have to mention it."

The man looked at him deeply.

"As long as you understand."

…

Near noon, Xue Jing stopped waving the blade in his hand and sheathed Fu Tu's sword.

[You have completed a sword practice, and your weapon attack experience value +98]

After looking at the information on the panel, Xue Jing thought for a moment and did not continue practicing. Instead, she opened the door and walked out of the practice room.

He walked along the stairs to the third floor and came to the indoor swimming pool introduced by Takeyama Ying.

This is a large swimming pool that is twenty meters long and ten meters wide. Xue Jing glanced at the blue water surface, and the unique smell of chlorine in the swimming pool came to her nose.

He took off all his clothes, folded them and put them on the ground together with Futu, then walked to the cabinet next to him and opened it.

Inside were unopened swimming trunks of various models. Xue Jing picked a larger one and put it on.

He was naked and wearing swimming trunks, exposing his perfect body to the air as if it was carefully carved by a god.

Walking to the edge of the swimming pool, Xue Jing squatted down and reached out to scoop up the water.

Then he jumped up and with a splash, he plunged into the swimming pool.

In the form of butterfly stroke, he fluttered unfamiliarly in the water.

‘It seems that I have never swum in my life. ’

Xue Jing thought to herself while swimming.

I did practice some in my previous life, and I knew how to swim butterfly, which was considered one of my legacy.

Xue Jing swam in the swimming pool. She was still a little unskilled at first. She only knew the skills in her mind, but it had not formed an instinct in her body.

But as a martial artist, his strong body control allowed him to quickly become familiar with everything about butterfly swimming, and his swimming skills improved at an incredibly fast rate.

“Crash, lala, lala—”

Not long after, the whole person was like a sharp arrow, shuttling back and forth in the swimming pool, making huge noises in the water like a torpedo.

His strong physical fitness and terrifying lung capacity brought about by running and breathing methods meant that he hardly needed any rest and could swim non-stop.

I don’t know how much time passed before a prompt popped up on the panel.

[Conditions have been met, activate skill: swimming]

[Swimming Level 1 (0/300)]

Xue Jing saw the prompt on the panel, pushed hard, and flopped a few times to get to the shore, and took a breath.

"Sure enough, there are skills that can be activated."

Xue Jing called out and said.

He glanced at the water, instinctively feeling a sense of intimacy.

It's like he was originally supposed to be a creature living under the water.

Xue Jing kicked against the swimming pool wall and plunged into the water.

This time, his movements were much more skillful than before, and even had a natural sense of elegance.

Just like a fish that lives on the bottom of the sea and belongs to the sea by nature.

He doesn't even need the assistance of his arms, just relying on the flexible swing of his body to move quickly through the water underwater.

"Pooh!"

Xue Jing put her head out of the water, feeling a little happy.

"The water quality has been strengthened too much, and even physical fitness, balance, control, etc. have been improved a lot on average."

He felt the strengthening that [swimming] brought to him.

"It is said to be the best or even the best exercise in the world. It can exercise all parts of the human body in the most comprehensive way."

"A perfect sport with almost no shortcomings, except for the harsh conditions."

"It's cool!"

Xue Jing turned over and plunged into the water again.

…
