I will eventually become a god.

Chapter 249 Extraordinary Skills - Master of Soldiers, it's just a stone, just kick it away (4K)

[Soldier Master Lv1 (Extraordinary)]

[Required for upgrading: Experience value 0/10000, Divinity 329/1000]

Finally... the first sublimation skill appeared.

Just as Xue Jing expected, after the regular skills were upgraded, he obtained the same extraordinary skills as the fused [Zhenwu].

"[Bingzhu]... I guess it means the Lord of Weapons. The name is the same as 'Bingzhu' among the seven great titles. What a coincidence."

Xue Jing closed the panel and couldn't wait to try out the effect.

He calmed his mind and looked inward to experience the changes taking place in his body.

Hmm...it seems nothing has changed.

Unlike when [Zhenwu] was activated, Bingzhu did not bring any changes to his body.

This is not surprising. Originally, the skill [Weapon Strike] did not strengthen his body at all, but instead gave him top-level talent in using weapons.

"Since the body remains unchanged, the effect of the skill will depend entirely on the use of the weapon..."

Xue Jing reached out and picked up the nine-foot alloy spear standing next to him.

As soon as he grasped the gun, he felt a completely different feeling from before.

All the information about the spear in his hand, including its strength, toughness, hardness, length, diameter, weight, any defects on the spear, any weak points, any tiny notches on the tip of the spear, whether it was in a state of metal fatigue... all the information was clearly visible in his mind, accurate to the last detail.

With a slight swing, the spear flew through the air.

Where is the best place to put your hands, at which angle to fire the gun to cause the greatest damage, how much force will cause damage... He knows it all clearly as if it were instinctive.

Xue Jing had never thought that he could understand a weapon so thoroughly.

It was as if this was not a strange spear that he had picked up at random from the Zhige Base to practice with, but an old friend that had been with him for countless years. He knew it like the back of his hand and had perfect compatibility with it.

"Any weapon, without any practice or polishing, can be perfectly adapted to once in use..."

Xue Jing nodded. This effect was quite consistent with the name "Lord of Soldiers".

But… that’s not all.

Xue Jing has a strange feeling now.

It was as if he could control the weapon in his hand at will.

He fiddled with the spear in his hand for a while, and then an epiphany came into his mind, and his mind moved instinctively.

The spear in his hand immediately changed. The metal body of the spear gradually spread out with a layer of platinum color like flowing water, starting from the point where Xue Jing's palm touched.

The platinum color continued to cover the gun body, and soon, it completely soaked the entire gun body.

At this time, with the effect of [Master of Weapons] to see through the information of weapons, Xue Jing immediately felt the updated information after the spear in his hand was dyed with platinum.

"The strength has increased several times. The flaws on the gun body have been filled, and the tiny gaps on the gun blade have also been filled and restored to its sharpness..."

"Just upgrade this weapon by several levels. I guess it's no worse than the Futu Knife."

Xue Jing was slightly surprised.

[Master of Arms] Effect 2: Strengthening of Armaments.

This is equivalent to a superpower, and it is truly an extraordinary skill.

"The White Emperor belongs to the element of gold, which represents killing and fighting, so his appearance is white and gold?"

Xue Jingping held the platinum-colored spear in his hand and suddenly released it.

However, the spear did not fall to the ground, but floated in the air.

Xue Jing's mind moved.

The spear suddenly began to spin in mid-air, spinning faster and faster, making a "da da da da" sound like a helicopter propeller.

"Interesting. As long as it is strengthened by the [Master of Arms] and dyed with platinum, it will be like a magic weapon that has been sacrificed and refined in the novels of cultivating immortals. It can be controlled at will and even achieve the effect of 'controlling objects'."

Following Xue Jing's wishes, the spear kept making movements in the air such as pointing, picking, chopping, flicking, collapsing and stabbing, so agilely that it seemed as if an invisible master of spearmanship was practicing with the spear.

"Hmm? Wait a minute, this effect..."

Xue Jing suddenly thought of something, looked around, and scanned the surroundings.

Then he jumped from the rooftop to the yard below.

He reached out and pulled out a weed more than half a meter long in the yard.

Then, he thought about it and activated the strengthening effect of [Master of Soldiers].

A platinum color was instantly generated, and it permeated the soft and fragile weeds in his hand like a stream of water, turning them into a hard and sharp "sword of grass".

After slashing twice with the platinum grass sword in his hand, Xue Jing touched his chin and said:
"As long as it is something I consider a weapon, I can use this 'enhancement'..."

"No wonder I feel a sense of déjà vu. Any weapon I get can be controlled instantly and used perfectly and skillfully, and it can also be upgraded to a higher level..."

Xue Jing thought of the special abilities in a certain work.

"Knights don't die with bare hands?"

He threw away the weeds in his hand.

"In that case..."

He raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, stared at his fist, and said softly:
"How can a fist not be considered a weapon?"

As soon as he finished speaking, platinum color was immediately generated, dyeing his fist into a platinum fist.

"Hey, the Star Platinum is actually me?"

Xue Jing raised his eyebrows, swung his platinum fist, and punched the floor.

"boom--!!"

With a loud bang, the ground shattered and cracked, and the ground within a hundred meters shook slightly, as if a small earthquake had occurred. Countless people in the Zhige base were frightened.

"Forces work in pairs... but with this punch, I barely felt the burden of the reaction force."

"Both the defense and attack power have increased a lot. It's a great ability... After the Conqueror Haki, I also got the Armament Haki, although the color is not right."

Xue Jing was experimenting with the armed enhancement capabilities of the [Master of Arms] with great interest.

Because of [Zhenwu], he can now use his strength everywhere in his body, even the most unlikely part of his body, his eyes, can be used as a 'weapon'.

Therefore, in his understanding, his entire body is considered a weapon, and the armed enhancement of [Master of Arms] can be applied to the entire body.

As a result, he could even cover his entire body with platinum, transforming into a true body of steel, an indestructible body...

But after trying, he found the problem.

This platinum-dyed weapon enhancement is not permanent, and seems to be limited in quantity. The larger the area covered, the thinner the spread, and the weaker the enhancement effect.

If used on the body, the best way to use it is to focus on the fists and feet, and when the opponent attacks, instantly focus on the attacked part to defend. "This should increase in number as the level increases, and the strengthening effect will also become better and better."

As the experiment progressed, Xue Jing soon discovered the third effect.

This was an effect he had speculated before - [All weapons are connected].

In the yard, Xue Jing held a platinum spear in one hand, placed it behind his back, and pointed the tip of the spear at the ground.

Suddenly, his eyes focused, and his skin, flesh, bones, and blood all started to circulate, and the power of his eyes turned into the power of Jingzhe.

The spear was in his hand, and he swung it from back to front with the force of splitting Mount Huashan, in a big circle, forming a half moon.

"call--!!"

The hissing sound of the air flow was extremely thick, which was totally unlike the sound that could be made by waving a slender gun. With a loud bang, it hit the ground with great force.

"boom--!!"

The moment the spear touched the ground, the ground instantly collapsed, and the ground in front of it continued to sink. The sinkholes extended forward for dozens of meters, and the entire Zhige base shook.

Amid the rising dust, Xue Jing retracted his spear and stood aside.

Using the nine-foot spear as a giant sword... This method of using the weapon in his hand as another weapon was something he had accidentally used before when dealing with an attack by members of the Dragon Cult.

But later when he wanted to reappear, he couldn't do it. Until now, after Bingji was upgraded to Bingzhu, he was finally able to use it freely.

Looking at the horrific effect caused, Xue Jing said in surprise:
"This is not just a simple 'lifting a heavy weight' technique... it has reached the 'extraordinary realm'."

At the moment when he used the spear to chop down with "Qingzhe", Xue Jing really felt that what he held in his hand was no longer a spear, but a forgotten giant sword.

Although it is certainly not as good as directly using the Forgotten Greatsword itself, but at that moment, the impact force caused by the spear Jingzhe has to some extent transcended the laws of physics and reached a level that its own weight should not have reached.

"It seems that what I imagined, that a random grass pulled out from the roadside can be used as a giant sword, is true... Let's not talk about its wide applicability. When fighting with others, the giant sword known for its strength can be used as a gun's skill, and the gun known for its skill can be used as a giant sword's heavy blow. This kind of sudden contrast is not something that everyone can react to. It can be used as a killer."

After trying for a long time, Xue Jing was quite satisfied with the extraordinary skill of [Master of Soldiers].

All-knowledge of weapon information, perfect adaptability + knight cannot die unarmed + armed color domineering + proficiency in all weapons... and the most basic talent for the use of weapons, which has also been improved a lot compared to [Weapon Attack Lv10].

He tried it a bit, and even without using the strengthening effect of the armament color of [Lord of Soldiers], the seamless spear skills he used now were much smoother and more natural than before.

The overall strength has been raised again.

……

Another day passed and the quarterfinals started again.

Since the quarterfinals adopt a double-elimination system, the eight players are divided into the winner group and the loser group according to the outcome of the previous game.

The winning group includes: Wei Junwu, Song Nanxing, Yuuga Suzuka, and Xue Jing.

The loser group includes: Huang Lu, Li Miao, Chen Chao, and Zhou Yinglin.

The winner will face the loser, and the winner will immediately advance to the semi-finals. If the loser wins, it is considered that he has won the resurrection match, and he only needs to win one more game to advance to the semi-finals.

Xue Jing's match was in the fourth game, but he arrived at the Super Arena early to watch the game. When he appeared in the player viewing area, he caused cheers and screams from a large number of spectators. The camera used for the live broadcast seemed to have a loose screw, and it would turn around from time to time to take close-up shots of him at an outrageous frequency.

At the same time, Xue Jing also learned a piece of news amid the cheers of the audience... He finally had a new title.

It is no longer an embarrassing title like "my husband", but a very domineering title.

——Demon King Xue.

It is said that it was because he was too powerful compared to the other contestants, like an invincible devil. In addition, the way he treated Zhou Yinglin was extremely cruel, just like a devil.

The origin of this title actually has a bit of moral derogatory connotations, but Xue Jing doesn't care. He thinks this title is great.

The world of martial artists is a world of strength.

The concept of "strength" has nothing to do with all the beautiful meanings of justice, conscience, morality, etc. Its essence is extremely simple, it is the power to make others submit and obey.

The title of Demon King implies people's fear of "power", which is enough, Xue Jing is quite satisfied.

At least Xue Wan wouldn't use it to tease him.

Soon the first match began, between Wei Junwu from the winner group and Zhou Yinglin from the loser group.

To the surprise of Xue Jing and most people, Zhou Yinglin, who should have been chopped into a human stick and crippled, actually appeared.

Moreover, the body seemed to be intact, not at all like the miserable state of being cut into a human stick.

Although Xue Jing thought that with his background as a wealthy family and a disciple of the Spear Saint, it should not be difficult to heal an injury of this degree, he did not expect that it would be done in just one day.

Amid the uproar of the audience and Wei Junwu's bitter expression, Zhou Yinglin slowly stepped onto the stage.

In the contestant viewing area, Yuuga Suzuka, who was standing next to Xue Jing, spoke softly:

"It should be that he had a super surgery and used some powerful medicine... You are worthy of being Mr. Zhou."

"There are no more than 200 top doctors in the world who can perform super surgeries, and each of them has their surgeries scheduled for at least ten years later... It's very difficult to find a top doctor in such a short time and have him perform the surgery right away."

Xue Jing nodded: "I see."

"Brother Xue, you don't seem to care much?"

Yin Muhu, who was standing next to him, saw that Xue Jing's expression didn't change, so he asked curiously.

Xue Jing gave her a strange look: "Why do you care?"

Yin Muhu thought for a moment and said, "I think since Zhou Yinglin was so anxious to heal himself and did not withdraw from the competition, he must want to seek revenge on you."

Xue Jing smiled and said:

“When you walk on the road, do you pay attention to whether the stone under your feet is the one you kicked away before?”

To him, Zhou Yinglin was just one of his defeated opponents, and not even a prominent one among them.

Not to mention recovering in one day with super surgery, even if Zhou Yinglin was truly immortal, Xue Jing would not take him seriously.

"A rock is just a rock. There's nothing special about it. If it's blocking your way, just kick it away. Why do you care if it comes back to you?"

Yin Muhu nodded blankly: "Is this... so..."

Yuuga Suzuka covered her mouth with her sleeve and chuckled, "Mr. Xue's little mouth is still so powerful. If Mr. Zhou heard this, he would be furious again..."

On the ring, Wei Junwu struggled for a while before being defeated by Zhou Yinglin.

At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered that Zhou Yinglin was also a genius who could be called a dimensionality reduction striker in youth competitions such as the U19... It was just that the big devil he faced the day before was too exaggerated, which made him seem a little weak.

The commentator shouted his victory and the audience gave him a warm round of applause.

But Zhou Yinglin didn't care about all this, instead he cast a gloomy gaze at the young man in the contestant viewing area who was feared and avoided by the surrounding contestants.

After realizing that the man didn't even look at him, Zhou Yinglin snorted coldly, threw the spear in his hand to the side, stuck it into the floor of the ring, and turned around and walked back to the contestant channel.
