Chapter 308: Chapter 187: Mystic Art·Vital Point! Pure and extreme lethality, Skill Fusion! (4K)_2
At that moment, he was no longer a partially bald, middle-aged man of no import.
Instead, he was the 'Trio of Jade City', Dragon King Li Qi, whose name echoed throughout Inner Ring decades ago!
A force such as Xue Jing had never seen or felt before, a mighty energy that reached its zenith, originated from Li Qi's palm, transforming into an exceedingly exquisite, nearly tangible True Dragon that surged into Xue Jing's body.
"Roar——!!"
Within the earth-shattering sound of the Dragon's Chant, Xue Jing consciously did not resist, and thus his Spirit was immediately dispersed by the roar, losing control over his body.
Following that, the Power manifested as a True Dragon scattered throughout Xue Jing's body, entering every part of his Skin, Flesh, Tendons, Bones, and Blood.
Golden Scales Transformation, Whirlwind Thunder, Eye-Penetrating Flow, Seal Cloud Tail, Shaking Star Fire... his body, under the control of the Power, began to synchronize and operate the five deadly techniques of the Hidden Dragon School.
In the obscure depths of his mind, Xue Jing's diffusing Consciousness observed the transformations occurring within his body from a bystander's perspective.
His skin unveiled densely packed dragon scales, his muscles began to spiral and compress, his pupils turned into dark golden slits, his bones resounded with thunderous quakes, and his blood boiled as if ignited.
The five distinct techniques operated simultaneously, each distinct yet inexplicably resonating harmoniously.
The five distinct Powers began to find their 'gaps' within this mysterious resonance, interlocking with each other, fusing into one.
A force, immense and sharp to the extremes, as if nothing could withstand its terror, was cultivated under the operation of Xue Jing's body.
Its name was—
"Mystic Art·Vital Point!"
...
By now it was eleven o'clock at night, yet many floors in the office building were still lit, all occupied by office workers forced to work overtime.
Within the entire office building, everyone suddenly heard a loud Dragon's Chant.
"Roar————!!"
Instantaneously, everyone froze, unable to move, even their eyeballs were fixed in place.
In nature, weaker creatures, when confronted by a top predator in the food chain, protect themselves by having all their cells submit instantly, immobilizing like stiff corpses in a feigned death state.
This is the most humble plea, praying that the predator might spare them due to their disdain for a corpse.
At that moment, everyone's primal instincts buried in the depths of their genes were awakened.
It took several seconds before the people in the office building gradually recovered, starting to breathe desperately and cough to relieve their discomfort.
"Cough, cough, cough... What on earth... happened..."
"I... saw a dragon."
"Thought I was going to die..."
The sudden terrifying event left everyone in shock and panic.
Meanwhile, in the Heart-Nourishing Room of the Hidden Dragon Dojo, Xue Jing was staring blankly at his right fist that he'd just swung.
Wisps of smoke were emanating from the fist, and the hairs on his arm were singed and curled, while the skin of his entire right arm appeared a reddish hue... a result of the intense friction with the air.
Before him, there was almost no change, except for a fist-sized spiral hole in a windowpane.
A normal pane of glass had been pierced by the fist wind, unshattered, just adorned with a 'Fist Hole'.
Anyone with a bit of knowledge in physics would know how terrifying this was, what immense Piercing Force was required to achieve this 'too quick to shatter' effect.
Xue Jing's gaze followed the spiral-shaped 'Fist Hole' on the glass, looking into the distance.
Experience tales at M V L
Far beyond human limits, he clearly saw, a hundred meters away, at the top of a building, a decorative sphere about three meters in diameter.
That was the famous 'Pearl Tower' in the East City District, and the sphere was the tower's symbol, the Pearl.
And now, on the Pearl, there was a spiral-shaped Fist Hole, identical in size to that on the glass, piercing right through the entire Pearl.
"This is 'Mystic Art·Vital Point'..."
Xue Jing marveled at the terrifying power of this strike.
No great commotion, just a constant, extending 'Piercing Force' along the direction of the punch.
Simple, yet extremely terrifying.
Great sounds are silent, great images formless, pure lethality.
It was like adding that unassuming yet crucial 'Vital Point' to a massive True Dragon!
"Huff... huff..."
Li Qi collapsed into his wheelchair, gasping heavily, while Meng Qingjiao silently stood behind him, reaching out to stroke his back and ease his breath.
"...How do you feel?"
After a moment, he asked.
At that moment, Li Qi seemed to have aged a decade in an instant, weak to the extreme.
Xue Jing walked up to him, knelt down, and placed his hand on his knee, worriedly saying, "Master, are you alright?"
Li Qi waved his hand, took a few breaths, and said, "It's nothing serious."
"During your time in Maple City, I referenced the 'Spiritual Interference with Self Reality Theory' you mentioned, and I have gained much."
"Although it was only for a moment... I was able to exert my strength from my prime, and it was just right to use it on you."
"However... that was the only time it could happen, as this old body truly has nothing left."
He said in a light-hearted, joking manner.
"Master..." Xue Jing was silent for a while.
Li Qi smiled and said, "Alright, stop fussing, tell me about your feelings, how much did you understand?"
After thinking for a moment, Xue Jing said, "Everything."
In that instant, his consciousness had spread throughout his body, firmly imprinting all changes on himself.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then his face showed relief.
"Good, good, truly worthy of you."
"With this, you could consider that 'Eye-Dotting' has been learned... but, until I say you can use it, you must never employ this technique, unless you are absolutely out of options and must risk your life in a critical moment."
Li Qi said solemnly.
"Just now, 'Eye-Dotting' was executed with my Power."
"The requirements for using this technique are perhaps the highest among all the ultimate skills in various schools; your current physical strength in all aspects hasn't met the standards yet. Forcing it could at least result in severe injuries and near-death, or even instant death."
"Understood?"
Xue Jing nodded seriously, "I understand, Master."
Li Qi hummed a response, exhaustedly saying, "Alright, you guys should go rest too, I need to rest myself, I'm dead tired."
Xue Jing got up, bid farewell to Li Qi, and then he and Meng Qingjiao quietly left the Heart-Nourishing Room.
In the corridor, Meng Qingjiao reached out to tousle Xue Jing's hair and straightened his slightly disheveled collar.
Xue Jing smiled and said, "Senior sister, are you going back?"
Meng Qingjiao nodded, her expression cool.
"I said last time that I wanted to cook and treat you to a big meal."
Xue Jing said after a moment's thought.
"Whenever you're free, senior sister, you can come to my house at any time."
Meng Qingjiao's eyes sparkled.
...
By the time Xue Jing got home, it was nearly midnight.
He first went to the bathroom for a bath, changed into loose and comfortable clothing, then lay on his bed, gently petting the already asleep Miao Miao, and opened his panel.

"Hmm?"
Xue Jing suddenly sat up, the mattress shook, and Miao Miao was jolted off.
...
(I just realized yesterday was my birthday; since it's on the lunar calendar, I never remember the exact day...)
(I'll write another chapter later to celebrate...)
