Chapter 165: Chapter 117: Combined Killing Move, Shadow Flame Upgrade, Revival of the Shadow Beast (4K)

"Five Murders Combine into One is the 'Eye-Dotting'... but the method of channeling energy for each killing technique is like trying to mix oil with water..."

Xue Jing's eyes reflected deep thought.

"Is this really possible?"

For each killing technique of the Hidden Dragon School, executing them required precise coordination throughout the entire body to conjure up special types of power.

For instance, Whirlwind Thunder, although it mainly involves 'muscles', to forcibly create that kind of spiral compression, the cooperation of blood, bones, tendons, and even the skin is indispensable.

Among the five killing techniques, only the Eye-Penetrating Flow is slightly different, only involving the tendons... Yet even so, while executing the Eye-Penetrating Flow and channeling through the tendons, it is impossible to execute other techniques that also require the cooperation of tendons.

"Unless I could make every part of my body move on its own..."

"Whirlwind Thunder only uses muscles, Shaking Star Fire only uses blood, Seal Cloud Tail only uses bones, Golden Scales Transformation only uses skin, and Eye-Penetrating Flow only uses tendons... Now, it seems only Eye-Penetrating Flow is doable."

Xue Jing gripped his palm.

If it were just about making a part of the body move on its own, he could already do it now.

Hidden Dragon Vigor let his power manifest as a True Dragon, almost developing its own consciousness, and coupled with 'Visualization True', his spirit underwent a transformation, allowing him to achieve control of power to the point of 'Strength Reaching Four Extremities'.

The so-called four extremities refer to the fingers, tongue, teeth, and hair.

These are actually four minor realms, and the first one is 'Power Through Fingertips, Finger Flicking Strike'.

Yet Xue Jing had already learned the most difficult 'Vigor Reaches the Hair Tips', being able to control hair, which lacks nerves, as if manipulating hands and feet with sheer force.

With his level of power control, it was possible to make a single body part move independently without affecting other parts.

But that was all.

Similar to a newborn baby, being able to move the feet doesn't mean it can walk.

Creating the spiral compression form of Whirlwind Thunder with just the muscles... For Xue Jing at present, it was like asking someone who had just learned basic arithmetic to solve calculus.

"Forget about combining the Five Murders for now; it's simply impossible."

Xue Jing mused.

"However, I can try combining two techniques instead..."

"For example—combining the explosive power of Whirlwind Thunder and the penetration of Shaking Star Fire to detonate directly inside the enemy's body."

"But the difficulty of that is too great, one technique is the extreme of rigid force and the other the extreme of soft power."

The mere thought made Xue Jing's scalp tingle.

"The channeling of Seal Cloud Tail's power doesn't conflict too much with Whirlwind Thunder or Shaking Star Fire, so that could be a place to start."

"However, I should still start with the simplest."

At a thought, Xue Jing's pupils transformed into vertical slits of a dragon's eye.

Without harnessing the Heavenly Blade Mindset, his pupils changed from dark brown to dark gold instead of silver-white.

After initiating the Eye-Penetrating Flow, Xue Jing looked at his eldest senior brother.

Unlike the 'lines' and 'dots' he saw when looking at the Sea Wasp, when he looked at Meng Boshang with the Eye-Penetrating Flow, he saw—nothing on his body.

The so-called lines and dots are visual manifestations of vulnerabilities, weak spots, and the like.

At this moment, his eldest senior brother, Meng Boshang, stood calmly with his hands behind his back; in Xue Jing's vision of Eye-Penetrating Flow, not a trace of weakness could be seen.

"...Truly worthy of being the eldest senior brother."

Xue Jing shifted his gaze and looked down at the deck underfoot.

He focused on a rectangular wooden plank, and immediately, several lines appeared on it.

Xue Jing gathered a bit of sharp energy on the big toe of his right foot and ran it along one of the lines.

The wooden plank was easily split open, revealing that the cut followed the grain of the wood—this was the spot where the plank was most susceptible to splitting.

"For now, the eldest senior brother is a no-go. Let's change targets."

Meng Boshang's image pixelated and disappeared, replaced by Wei Chu, a man from the Titan God Brigade.

As the robust figure appeared, Xue Jing looked intently, and although they were sparse, he still could see several 'lines' across his body parts. As for 'dots', there were very few—just some faint ones near the heart, neck, and head that were almost invisible.

These transformed people, with alien implants filling their bodies, had very few vulnerabilities.

"Maintaining the Eye-Penetrating Flow state, use another killing technique..."

Xue Jing exhaled softly, steadying his mind.

The True Dragon manifested within, power stirred, blood boiled and burst forth with Ten Thousand Sparkling Starfires.

Threads of soft power began to form in sync with the circulation of inner power, ready to converge at the fist...

Xue Jing struggled to maintain control, trying not to involve the tendons, and to preserve the Eye-Penetrating Flow's circulation.

However, the operation of Shaking Star Fire instinctively affected a part of the tendons soon after, causing issues in the Eye-Penetrating Flow's operation, and his pupil reverted from vertical to normal.

Xue Jing felt a sharp pain in his forearm, where a small bump emerged as if a ball was embedded underneath—an error in power circulation resulted in a problem with the tendons there, twisting into a knot.

"It's difficult... but not impossibly so."

Xue Jing nodded, circulating power to dissolve the knot in his tendons.

Then he continued trying.

The second attempt saw Xue Jing's power circulation become even more aggressive, his right shoulder burst open with a splash of blood as the boiling blood and tangled tendons collapsed together, exploding.

Though the injury was quite severe, this was only a consciousness simulation, and Xue Jing paid it no mind, restoring his body with a thought and continuing his trials.
