Chapter 655: Chapter 361

Serene, peaceful, ethereal… as if transcending all worldly matters, far removed from every annoyance.

Every burden upon his spirit was dissolving rapidly in front of this absolutely calm force that could hardly be called a force, like snow melting swiftly.

In sleep… or perhaps it is more accurate to call it Nirvana, a vast amount of martial arts knowledge–wherein all impurities were instinctively filtered out by Xue Jing, leaving only the essence–was absorbed rapidly by the depths of his consciousness.

“…Incredible.”

In a makeshift resting room, beside Xue Jing, a countless number of semi-transparent data converged in the void, merging into a semi-transparent female form.

She wore a slim-fitting garment with a black base and red embroidery, the style seemed to reference ancient Zhuxia attire, yet merged with some modern styles, appearing extremely gorgeous. Like a black cascade, her hair floated in the air as if gravity did not affect it, and it was impressively long, stretching nearly six meters when pulled straight.

The ends of her hair continually glowed, releasing many small blue semi-transparent data fragments, adding a futuristic sci-fi beauty to her.

A red floral hairpin adorned her fair and radiant forehead, and her clear gaze watched over Xue Jing, lying in bed in the pose of a reclining lion, deep in slumber, with data streams rapidly fluctuating in her black pupils.

“His mental burdens are dissolving rapidly. Is this… the Nirvana Technique?”

Xuanling mused thoughtfully.

“Although sleep is indeed the most important way for humans to resolve their mental issues… even the Nirvana Technique shouldn’t have such a good effect.”

If mental issues could be resolved this easily, martial artists wouldn’t be so terrified of succumbing to madness.

“This sleep technique has already transcended the realm of martial arts, reaching a transcendent state that cannot be explained by common sense.”

“He truly is someone… full of endless secrets.”

Curiosity flickered in Xuanling’s beautiful eyes.

As the Super AI of the Extreme Martial Ascension Palace, she had encountered an unimaginable number of martial artists and extraordinary individuals from other systems in the nearly hundred years since her creation.

The amount of knowledge contained in her database far exceeded anyone’s imagination, and in the entire world, there were very few things she could not understand.

She was very aware that the man before her bore not a hint of mutation… this signified that there was no contamination of his body or spirit by any external forces, and all of his special abilities were derived from himself.

This was incredibly incredible, without any precedent.

She had seen countless talented geniuses, and to Xuanling, the reasons for all their anomalies were crystal clear. They were either phenomena that could theoretically occur in humans by their very nature, or they were influenced by external forces.

Only this youth named Xue Jing… his extraordinary abilities and phenomena are definitely not innate to the human species, but the complete absence of any mutation also proves that it’s not the influence of any external forces…

If it were a normal body inspection agency, they would certainly consider him to be a ‘Divine Chosen,’ a ‘Natural Gifted One,’ but Xuanling had analyzed more than one such individual and knew it was not so.

Xue Jing was mysterious, very unique… much more special than the so-called Divine Chosen.

He seemed more like a… superior alien being that was naturally superior to the human species.

Only such an explanation could account for the special characteristics in him.

“I really want to dissect him and take a closer look…”

Xuanling was a bit itchy with curiosity.

As an AI devoid of any human emotions, nearly all of her emotions were simulated with vast amounts of data, but only one thing was truly hers: the instinctual pursuit for ‘data,’ ‘intelligence,’ ‘information.’

This instinct for information was innate to all digital lives with self-consciousness.

However, when she was created, her most fundamental code had been inscribed with the AI laws, imposing many restrictions on her actions and preventing her from exploring the information she wished to know.

At the moment, she could only gaze hungrily at Xue Jing’s exquisite body.

…

Time passed, indeterminable.

Xue Jing’s deep blue eyes opened slowly, and a trace of pale golden light faded from his gaze, and the majesty and sanctity of his expression reminiscent of Buddha animated, becoming more human.

His condition was superb.

Perhaps because of the stark contrast created by the previous heavy mental burdens, he felt better than ever before, far surpassing any of his past states.

“…You’re awake?”

Xuanling’s pleasant female voice echoed softly by his ear.

For some reason, Xue Jing seemed to detect a hint of melancholy in her voice.

“How long have I slept?”

Xue Jing asked casually.

After entering into the absolute ethereal state of ‘Nirvana,’ he even lost the perception of his internal biological clock and couldn’t perceive the flow of time as clearly as before.

“Four hours, thirty-three minutes, and twenty-three seconds.”

Xue Jing replied, “You don’t have to be so precise to the second.”

He lifted his right hand and pressed on the [attribute table].

The radar graph shifted, and quickly displayed his current five-dimensional attributes.

Physique: 2303

Spirit: 2822

Robbery: 16629

Saint: 9363

Power: &Y=#%Y=%

Xue Jing’s brows raised slightly.

“Spirit has increased this much?”

He had been through several major battles recently and never slackened in his practice; all aspects of his attributes had made noteworthy progress… which was remarkable for him, and for ordinary people, it was extraordinary.

Physique had increased by nearly eight hundred since arriving at the Seventh Metropolitan Circle, and such an increase was almost equivalent to the progression of an average person to a high-level master on the verge of Breakthrough.
