Chapter 122: Chapter 97: Xue Jing, Who Inspires Faith, Surge in Divinity, Heretic God’s Power – The Invincible Lionheart (4K)

“Whoosh—”

Pei Youguang tossed the flat stone in his hand, and it skipped over the clear lake surface more than a dozen times before sinking.

His performance was somewhat off.

He swallowed hard, his heart beating a bit fast.

“Qin, did you… did you ask me out for something special?”

Pei Youguang looked at the girl beside him wearing a white dress, pure and pretty.

Then he sneakily glanced downward, at the barely concealed deep ravine— hiss—

Pei Youguang felt a bit excited.

Could it be that his springtime had finally arrived?

Yesterday, at the lakeside barbecue, Qin had hinted at him tenderly, and judging by today’s situation, did she actually take an interest in him?

“Second Young Master Pei…”

The girl named Qin clasped her hands together, resting them under her cheek, a hint of cute naivety on her pure, pretty face struck directly into Pei Youguang’s strike zone, making him feel a bit floaty.

“Just call me Youguang, Qin.”

His face, though full, showed a deliberately calm expression, causing Qin to giggle secretly.

“Sure, Youguang~”

She called out, her tone sweet as if cooing.

Pei Youguang immediately felt a tingly weakness throughout his body as if his bones had turned brittle.

“Could you possibly…”

Qin’s eyes sparkled.

Before Pei Youguang even heard the rest, he couldn’t help but nod repeatedly.

Agree, agree to anything.

Sell me if you have to.

“Could you possibly give me Xue’s contact information?”

Qin clasped her hands, her pure and pretty face showing a pitiful plea.

Pei Youguang: “…”

As if a bucket of cold water was dumped over his head, he felt his entire being falter.

It seems there really was no such fortune…

Pei Youguang curled his lips into a bitter smile.

“Please, can I treat you to a meal?”

Qin continued her coquettish pleading.

Pei Youguang sighed, didn’t reply, and gloomily picked up a flat stone from the lake’s edge.

Then, channeling his Power as if to vent his frustration, he hurled it fiercely towards the lake.

“BOOM!!!”

A blast almost deafening to his ears.

The girl named Qin beside him was so frightened that she screamed and fell to the ground.

Above the lake,

a massive black spiral tornado, carrying numerous water currents, rolled over the surface of the lake.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

Where it passed, like a typhoon, the lake water formed huge waves that rolled up, then exploded outward, spraying a dense rain of droplets all around.

The dark tornado moved swiftly, rampaging closely past Pei Youguang and Qin, heading into the distance.

They felt as if they were about to be blown away by the violent wind, unable to open their eyes, with countless droplets raining down on them, instantly soaking them through.

When everything calmed down, Pei Youguang wiped the droplets off his face, opened his eyes, and caught his breath, still in shock.

He looked at the hand he had thrown the stone with, puzzled: “Ah? Did I do that again?”

“There’s a Water Monster… there’s a black Water Monster in this lake!”

Qin, clutching her now semi-transparent and wet white dress, shivered and said.

…

Xue Jing watched the effects of this throw, also somewhat stunned.

“I go… just used Shadow Flame and Twin Lifes enchantment casually, and it was this brutal?”

“This Saber Qi could probably remotely shred the enhanced Cockroach Monster at Qingcheng Affiliated Middle School into pieces…”

Xue Jing took a sharp breath.

He wouldn’t believe it if it was said to be purely physical damage.

“To interfere with one’s own reality using spiritual power… it’s terrifying!”

“But this blow was obviously way more potent than yesterday’s, not just the power increase, but the attack range and distance have increased a lot too…”

“This must be the effect of Shadow Flame, enhancing the nature of the Saber Qi after being enchanted?”

Xue Jing pondered.

“It seems there are still many wonderful uses of this Divine Skill that I haven’t discovered…”

Xue Jing clenched his hand, thought stirring.

Black streams immediately emerged from his shadow, wrapping around his palm, not forming into burning Dark Flame but creating a black membrane that covered his hand.

“It’s almost like Armed Color Domineering…”

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow.

“This could be a good discreet way to use Shadow Flame; it won’t be as conspicuous as when Dark Flame burns.”

“Looks like I need to prioritize enhancing Shadow Flame… then Divinity really becomes scarce.”

Xue Jing frowned slightly.

But considering that he would obtain the Hundred Feet Pole’s Top tomorrow, his frown soon relaxed.

“Hundred Feet Pole’s Top should provide a few hundred Divinity, almost enough to upgrade Twin Lifes another level… With this, preparations for defeating Otogirusu are almost complete.”

“Though my fitness is not far from Lv10, just over ten thousand experience short, the thousand Divinity required for Skill Sublimation also needs to be prepared… still quite lacking.”

Xue Jing shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and set up to begin today’s martial arts training.

…

Noon, Xue Jing rode Wind Eater back to the manor.

He put Wind Eater into the stable, removed its saddle and bridle, then fetched a lot of carrots, apples, and corn to feed it as a reward.

After leaving the stable, he walked back to the main house of the manor, planning to grind some [Swimming] experience.

Just as he reached the doorstep, he happened to see a black sedan driving along the cobblestone driveway.

The rear door of the car opened, and Zhu Shanying’s petite figure emerged from the car.
