Chapter 97: Chapter 84: Huge Increase in Strength, GOD-519·The Blade That Never Dulls (4K, Vote for Monthly Pass)

Three days later.

In the Cultivation Room of the Hidden Dragon Dojo.

Xue Jing, dressed in a black training garment and standing on the solid wooden floor, silently stood at the center of the room.

His gaze fixed straight ahead, his skin from the chin downwards was covered in densely packed patches of “dragon scales”.

He started to practice the Armor Shaking Skill’s accompanying Skin Breathing Skills, his dragon scales quivering and stretching, resembling a True Dragon Shaking Armor, clicking and clacking.

“Um… the injury shouldn’t be a big problem now, at least I can start training.”

Xue Jing squeezed his palm and nodded.

During these three days, he had been resting and recuperating, and the injuries to his skin had healed quite a lot.

Dispelling the dragon scales from all over his body, Xue Jing took a deep breath, his gaze sharpening.

His Power surged, the dragon’s roar echoing around him, his muscles tensing up.

Starting from his right shoulder, spiral-shaped indentations began to appear, twisting toward the edge of his fist, as if a towel was being wrung tight, making his entire arm seem slightly thinner.

After preparing his Whirlwind Thunder Force, Xue Jing, however, chose not to throw a punch.

He shifted his thoughts and activated [Twin Lifes].

Three days earlier, when choosing a new active effect for Twin Lifes, he had selected [Physical Defense].

Now was the time to verify its effect.

The spiral-shaped Compressed Strength brought a great burden to Xue Jing, his arm barely able to bear it.

However, after activating [Twin Lifes], the arm that felt as if it was about to explode suddenly relaxed.

Double Physical Defense meant double the body’s endurance.

At this moment, everything related to his body—bones, muscles, skin, even organs—had their endurance absolutely doubled, disregarding any physical laws.

Naturally, Whirlwind Thunder, known for its limitless compression of Power, could also be compressed further beyond his normal limits.

Xue Jing’s eyes focused, and he continued to compress his Power using the Whirlwind Thunder technique!

His muscles trembled all over, the sound of the dragon’s chant inside him growing more resonant, as the spiral-shaped indentations on his right shoulder suddenly began to extend backward, moving under the skin like several long snakes.

The indentations spread in a spiral fashion across the collarbone, neck, underarm, until ultimately, they coiled around Xue Jing’s entire right pectoral muscle.

His muscles emitted faint tremors from the strain, Xue Jing realized he had reached his limit.

“Ha!”

He immediately let out a loud shout and threw a mighty Straight Punch into the air in front of him!

“Boom!!”

Throughout the Hidden Dragon Dojo, everyone’s ears were suddenly struck by a Sound Shocking Thunder.

Numerous disciples inside the training hall raised their heads in confusion.

“Was that thunder?”

“That’s odd; the weather forecast said it would be sunny in the coming days, and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to rain outside, does it?”

In the Heart-Nourishing Room, seated in a wheelchair and holding an ancient thread-bound book, Li Qi heard the explosion and immediately turned his head towards the direction of the Cultivation Room, silently smiling with satisfaction.

“Boom!!”

Starting from the fist he swung, a visible spiral-shaped airstream several meters in diameter howled forward.

The opened glass windows emitted crackling sounds, trembling nonstop as if about to shatter, and the curtains hanging on them were directly moved and unhooked by the violent airstream, spiraling out of the window like a fan blade.

Xue Jing squeezed his palm, looking at his arm.

“If I hit that Cockroach Monster again, this one punch should be enough to kill it.”

He muttered to himself.

Having activated the [Physical Defense] of Twin Lifes, his combat power nearly doubled.

“It’s not just Whirlwind Thunder, Golden Scales Transformation and Seal Cloud Tail also benefited.”

“And, because of this, the limit of [Power of Twins] is also higher.”

The active effect of Twin Lifes defies any physical laws and doubles the physical aspect of the body.

The doubled strength brought by the Power of Twins is the same.

If martial arts were math, then the combination of techniques and the way they are unleashed would be different mathematical formulas.

And [Power of Twins] is like adding an ‘X2’ to the end of any formula, unconditionally.

Previously, Whirlwind Thunder’s Compressed Strength allowed Xue Jing to unleash a punch with twice the normal Punch Force. With the Power of Twins, it would be four times.

And now, after employing Twin Defense, Whirlwind Thunder’s punch could compress to three times the Punch Strength, and using the Power of Twins then would result in six times the normal state!

Twin Lifes, that’s a Divine Skill that becomes more exaggerated the further one progresses!

“Kind of invincible, huh.”

Xue Jing nodded in satisfaction.

Also, during these three days, he had specifically tested the consumption and cooldown time of Lv3 Twin Lifes.

So far, three active effects were activated, namely [Strength], [Speed], and [Defense].

And the consumption of these three varied.

Among them, [Speed] consumed the most. Currently, using Twin Speed alone, he could last roughly thirty seconds before the ‘mana’ of Twin Lifes would be depleted.

[Strength] came next, which could last for about fifty seconds.

[Defense] consumed the least; when using only Twin Defense, he could sustain it for nearly three minutes.

These three shared ‘mana’, and if used all at once, they could only last for less than fifteen seconds.

Once the ‘mana’ was completely spent, it would take about five hours to fully recover, one hour less than the six hours needed when it was first activated.

Overall, Lv3 Twin Lifes had seen a nice improvement in all aspects.

Having assessed his current condition, Xue Jing was thinking about continuing his training.
