Chapter 124: Chapter 98: The Silver Eyes of God, I’ve Snatched Them, Now What? (4K)

[Twin Born Lv4 (18/800)]

[Passive: Possesses two lives, can freely choose resurrection time within seven days after death, cooldown: sixty days]

[Active: Every Lv1 can designate an ability related to one’s own physical body, using it produces double the effect]

[Current Skills Activated: Physical Strength, Action Speed, Physical Defense]

[Currently Available Choices: Reaction Speed, Calculative Ability, Concentration, Memory, Body Temperature, Flexibility, Perception Ability, Instinctive Intuition…]

Xue Jing glanced at the Twin Lifes passive after reaching Lv4, and saw that the cooldown time had been reduced by ten days, and nodded in approval.

“Good, as expected, it’s a fixed ten days per level…”

This confirmed that after reaching Lv10, the cooldown time for Twin Lifes would be reduced to an unimaginable extent.

“Even if it’s not infinite resurrection, it’s probably not far off,”

Xue Jing thought to himself.

“Next is the choice of the active effects.”

“The original plan was to choose ‘Reaction Speed’…”

Xue Jing looked at the dozens of options on the panel.

He was now hesitating.

Generally speaking, Reaction Speed is a choice that ranks very high on the priority list for him as a Martial Artist.

But…

Xue Jing glanced up at the top of the panel.

[Aiming Lv6 (2870/3000)].

The increase in Dynamic Vision from Aiming nearing Lv7 was too significant.

With his current strength, getting double Reaction Speed on the basis of Aiming would actually be quite wasteful.

Because his body could not keep up with his own Reaction Speed.

Just like that day he faced Jiao Hongyuan’s attack, he had seen the attack, but the body could not avoid it at all.

His current Reaction Speed was already sufficient for his own strength, and it had even exceeded what his strength required.

Increasing it further would just be a pure waste.

“With the sword-drawing speed of someone like Otogirusu, even if I can react, my body still couldn’t avoid it entirely. Perhaps choosing [Instinctive Intuition] would be better. It might help me to sense danger in advance through instinct, letting my body automatically avoid the opponent’s sword draw,”

Xue Jing thought to himself.

Then he recalled what Wu Youqing once said about the importance of spirit in martial arts.

“Or should I choose an ability related to spirit? Like [Concentration]…”

“This choice should help enhance the Artistic Conception of Heaven’s Will Saber and will be beneficial for daily Martial Arts Practice as well…”

“So difficult.”

Xue Jing shook his head, closed the panel, and decided to put off choosing a new active effect for the time being.

“We’ll talk about it later.”

He went out to the street, hailed a taxi, and headed to the restaurant arranged with his classmates.

Soon after, the car stopped in front of a restaurant named ‘Baolin.’

Xue Jing scanned the code to pay the fare, thanked the driver, and walked in.

Since everyone was a student with limited financial abilities, the chosen restaurant was not very high-end, but it had a good reputation, and Xue Jing had eaten here a few times and enjoyed the food.

Upon entering, he went straight to the private room area, came to the room Li Ge had sent him via WeChat, and pushed the door open.

Many classmates had already arrived.

Students from the Elite Class came in dozens, so a large room with five big tables had been selected.

As soon as Xue Jing entered, Li Ge, who was sitting by one of the tables, promptly stood up and exclaimed:

“Hey, hey, hey, the main character has finally arrived, hurry up and serve the dishes, I barely ate at noon and I’m starving now!”

The other classmates also began speaking.

“Xue Jing is here, have a seat, have a seat!”

“I’ll go call the waiter to serve the food.”

“Come, come, here, sit at this table in the middle…”

Xue Jing walked forward, sat next to Li Ge, and responded to his classmates’ questions with a smile.

“Ah, it feels like a lot has changed since more than a month ago.”

Li Ge opened a large bottle of cola, poured a cup for both himself and Xue Jing, took a sip, and said thoughtfully.

“Ever since you started practicing martial arts, it feels like you and I are people from two different worlds.”

“I never thought you’d actually make it this far; even the news is reporting you’re a martial arts prodigy, and the principal even held a commendation meeting to praise you, but it felt weird that you weren’t there.”

Xue Jing put an arm around his shoulder and chuckled:

“What, feeling all melancholic and lonely because your brother’s Range Rover is moving too fast?”

Li Ge nodded, and hummed affirmatively.

“A bit, yes.”

“But as much as I feel that small pinch, I hope more than anything that you really soar to heights so high, I can’t even reach them.”

Li Ge said sincerely.

“People always have to move upward. Since you have this talent and opportunity, don’t let any ties hold you back. I’ll only ever wish you the best.”

Xue Jing ruffled Li Ge’s hair with his other hand, laughing:

“You don’t need to tell me. I’d do that anyway.”

Hearing these words from Li Ge stirred a complex mix of feelings inside Xue Jing.

It’s normal for people to lose something while gaining something else.

He wasn’t sad about this, but it still made him somewhat reflective.

“You, do you remember when we first met?”

Xue Jing raised his eyebrows.

Li Ge chuckled, “Of course, I do.”

That was during their first year of middle school, just after they had been assigned to the same class, and even shared a desk.

Upon first meeting Xue Jing, Li Ge had asked a peculiar question.

“When you eat an ice cream, are you the type who licks it, or who bites it?”
