I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Until a certain moment, the two suddenly disappeared from their spots.

When they reappeared, they had already collided with each other.

"Clang——!!"

...

Thousands of meters above, Xue Jing sensed something and looked down.

In his silver-white pupils burned a Dark Flame, the pitch-black night and the distance of thousands of meters could not obstruct his vision, and with just one glance, he saw clearly what was happening below.

He also spotted a few people from his own dojo.

Xue Jing's gaze lingered for a moment on Boshang, Qingjiao, and Chen Fuguang before he withdrew his gaze and looked towards the robust man clad in black crystal armor in the distance.

Although he wanted to go down and help, he first had to deal with the troublesome thing in front of him.

Xue Jing gripped a piece of black crystal in his hand.

He had just seized it from the opponent.

With a slight channeling of energy, the black crystal in his palm immediately shattered into countless uniformly sized sharp fragments, and Xue Jing assumed the position of throwing a baseball, aiming at the man.

Previously, he had combined Shaking Star Fire and Whirlwind Thunder into a powerful attack named Thunder Flame Boiling Cauldron and called it "Dragon Star Swarm."

Now, with the Hidden Dragon School's five major deadly attacks under his control, it was time to use the upgraded version of that attack.

"True Dragon Star Swarm!"

The Mystic Art·Vital Point's piercing force began circulating within him, transforming into an unstoppable Piercing Force that surged into Xue Jing's right arm.

"Roar——!!"

Amidst the Dragon's Chant, the black crystal fragments were thrown out.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh——"

Numerous sharp fragments screamed out, turning into a violent storm, covering the man in the distance.

Each fragment, rotating and whipping up strong gusts, was imbued with a resolution to pierce through everything.

"Bang bang bang bang bang——!"

Merely upon contact, the man's black crystal armor was immediately torn apart, and the black crystal fragments, like cannonballs, burst big holes in him with each hit.

In no time, they had completely torn apart his armor, and then his flesh, as successive fragments pierced through countless holes in an instant, each hole passing straight through, blood, internal organs, bones—nothing could stop this extremely powerful piercing attack.

Soon, his entire body resembled a tattered rag, with even large vulnerabilities such as the head and heart completely shattered, no piece of flesh larger than two centimeters in diameter to be found.

However, the next moment, the entire person abruptly and perfectly intact reappeared in the air.

Xue Jing slightly frowned:

"What exactly is this ability... Is it an illusion? Is everything I am doing right now actually not happening, just in my 'imagination'?"

"No, with Visualization True held by me, how could I be so easily deceived by an illusion... If it really is a deception of that caliber, then I might as well give up struggling, there's no need to fight at all."

"Immortal-level life force? Doesn't seem like it..."

"Could it be, is it a time-related ability... It sure seems like it, but that would be too high-end."

Xue Jing couldn't help but guess extravagantly.

"Is this man able to control time... is that what you're thinking?"

The man spoke in his ever-mechanical, nonchalant tone.

Xue Jing tilted his head: "So, you have the leisure to explain it to me?"

"Hmm... it might surprise you, but my main job is actually as a teacher, everything else is just a side job."

The man said something that made Xue Jing start.

Following that, he indeed seriously began to explain his own ability:

"You're thinking in the wrong direction, this isn't about using time."

"Or rather, most people in this world are thinking in the wrong direction."

"Time, as such, doesn't exist, it's merely a scalar used to record material motion."

"Therefore, the so-called 'time acceleration,' 'time rewind,' and 'time stop' should accurately be referred to as 'material motion acceleration,' 'material motion reversal,' and 'material motion stop.'

Xue Jing scratched his head, "No, why are you actually teaching me now?"

He felt somewhat peculiar, but since there was an opportunity to learn the secrets of the other party, it was indeed an opportunity not to be missed, given the current impasse. Xue Jing did not refuse.

Even if this was likely just words meant to confuse him, it was better than having no clues at all.

The man seemed to know what Xue Jing was thinking, yet he continued:

"However, the 'Four-Dimensional Senses' I use are not any of the three mentioned above, although as a result, it indeed achieves an effect similar to 'material motion reversal.'

"You should be aware that the so-called fourth dimension is a higher level of existence than the three-dimensional space we inhabit, right?"

Xue Jing silently nodded.

"Well, simply put, four-dimensional senses allow me to observe three-dimensional space from the 'perspective of a higher-dimensional being.'

"This is very complex, and I cannot explain it; just as an ant cannot comprehend humans, without seeing the fourth dimension, one cannot truly understand it."

"Anyway, what I see is different from what you see."

"You might think that you have killed me several times by now, but in fact, in my perspective, you are merely flailing at the 'future me,' that's just an illusion, an afterimage, an 'unreal reality' that hasn't happened yet."

The man's mechanically emotionless eyes peered at Xue Jing through his black crystal helmet.

"—At this moment, I am situated in 'your past,' watching 'the current you.'

Xue Jing was silent for a while, then he sighed softly.

"Why is it that all the opponents I encounter seem to be using cheat codes similar to this?"

Damn it, Ban, give me some power, or some real cheats!

Why do others possess abilities that manipulate concepts, while I have so little?

Outsiders might think we can't afford it!

"But rest assured," the man continued.

"The amount of information that the four-dimensional perspective can handle is far too vast. I am not the original body, and the chip's grade is not enough, it cannot be activated for long. After all, humans are three-dimensional beings and cannot manage too much information; the brain would fry, cognition would be rewritten."

"You are very powerful, among the young people I have encountered, you rank sixth. I am looking forward to your future."

"With this body, the likelihood of defeating you is virtually zero... I give up."

"As a token of your victory, I will destroy this body and also, I offer you a piece of information."

The man's black crystal armor shattered, revealing his body.

Subsequently, cracks began to appear all over his body.

His voice also became intermittent:

"Jiao Hongyuan... breakthrough incomplete... and... two inches above his coccyx... there is a device installed..."

"Hit that spot... and you can kill him..."

The man's voice grew quieter and eventually became inaudible as cracks densely covered his entire body.

Soon, his body fragmented into countless pieces no larger than a fingernail, scattered by the constantly blowing fierce wind from above.

Xue Jing's gaze slightly narrowed, puzzled about what exactly was the deal with this person.

But seeing that he seemed to have indeed disappeared, whether truly dead or pretending, as long as he was no longer bothering him, that was enough.

Xue Jing took a deep breath, summoned the Cherry Dragon, stood on its head, and with Thunder Feather Belt flickering, he dove rapidly towards the ground below.

...

"Zi zi zi zi—"

Chen Fuguang, while killing a Cockroach Monster, shouted to Meng Qingjiao not far from him:

"Sister Meng, have you found the junior brother?"

"..." Meng Qingjiao patted a Cockroach Monster, shaking her head.

"Strange, he should be right here, where could he have gone..."

Chen Fuguang looked worried.
