I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

"..." Having lost his head, Jiao Hongyuan naturally couldn\'t speak. Realizing he had been exposed, he immediately lunged forward, extending his right hand towards Xue Jing.

But immediately, he froze in place.

Xue Jing had disappeared from his perception.

"Without a head, missing the form, voice, smell, and taste senses, only \'touch\' remains, and your perception ability has been weakened to the extreme."

Xue Jing, with LV7 [Concealment] activated and Aura Blockade status, stood to Jiao Hongyuan\'s left.

"You don\'t even know where I am, and you still want to fight me?"

A flash of brilliance.

Another "Flame-Colored Rainbow·Thunder Plough Hot Blade" bisected Jiao Hongyuan at the waist, his upper body flung away, as Xue Jing, pulling along the trails of flame and thunder, appeared on the other side of Jiao Hongyuan, his entire right arm covered in skill effects.

Ignoring Jiao Hongyuan who had lost a significant amount of life force yet again, Xue Jing turned and charged towards the horde of Cockroach Monsters.

He left behind a body divided into three sections that gradually died as its life force steadily drained away.

With Xue Jing, this most ferocious new force, joining the battlefield, the number of Cockroach Monsters began to be wiped out at an astonishing rate.

Pulling colored streams of flame, wielding Dark Flame and White Thunder, no matter the size of the Cockroach Monsters, they all fell easily before him—a straightforward kill each time, displaying overwhelming, absolute combat power.

Countless eyes watched his heroic combat, countless people were saved by his seemingly effortless actions, countless people were captivated by his figure.

Gradually, an enthusiasm Xue Jing was yet unaware of began to brew in everyone\'s hearts, a fervor quietly born.

It was akin to the \'faith\' that soldiers on ancient battlefields would develop while following a conquering hero and unbeatable general.

...

After reducing the number of Cockroach Monsters to a negligible amount, Xue Jing flashed into Chief Councillor Chi Liangyun\'s residence, heading straight for the basement.

While previously hidden in the residence, besides that bear-like strong man, he had seen someone who appeared to have taken over Chi Liangyun\'s body using \'Soul Snatch\' tactics.

Not sure if that person had run off now, but a search was still necessary.

Upon entering the basement, Xue Jing looked around and found a body.

It was Chief Councillor Chi Liangyun.

It appeared that the entity residing in Chi Liangyun\'s body had already fled.

Xue Jing didn\'t disturb anything at the scene but retreated.

By the time he came out of the residence, all the Cockroach Monsters had been eradicated.

The ground was strewn with dense bodies and severed limbs, both of Cockroach Monsters and humans.

As Xue Jing emerged from the building, everyone immediately let out a thunderous cheer that almost drowned the entire West City District.

"We won, we won!!"

"We\'ve saved the city, we\'re heroes!!"

"Long live Qingcheng, long live the Black Dragon Knight!!"

"Black Dragon Knight, Black Dragon Knight!!"

It started with somewhat chaotic shouts, but soon the rhythm became orderly, and the whole place was chanting \'Black Dragon Knight! Black Dragon Knight!\' in unison.

Xue Jing was completely caught off guard by this scene, frozen in place, his scalp tingling.

"Damn, what\'s with this embarrassing play, this public execution... really..."

Xue Jing shivered, hastily ordered the Cherry Dragon to fly in front of him, and then leaped onto the dragon\'s head.

Silver-white lightning wrapped around the Cherry Dragon, and with a flap of its giant wings, it took to the sky with Xue Jing, fleeing the scene.

People took him to be the type of silent and reticent Masked Hero who got things done and kept a low profile, without fuss or fanfare, and didn\'t mind, continuing to cheer and celebrate for a long time.

Once away from the scene, Xue Jing turned the Cherry Dragon back into a Dragon Cherry Seed, pocketing it, and while flying home, he took out that [Green Cube] from his embrace.

[Divine Absorption complete]

[Divinity held: 3672]

Similar to all other Divine Relics he had encountered before, the Green Cube had also provided him with a little over five hundred Divinity.

The panel opened, and a string of prompts popped up before him.

[...Health Cultivation Experience Points +2127 (Reached Limit)]

[...Running Experience Points +2460]

[...Aiming Experience Points +3288]

[...True Martial Experience Points +1670 (Maxed)]

[...Visualization True Experience Points +2366]

[...Combat Skills Experience Points +2680]

[...Riding Experience Points +1688]

[...Acting Experience Points +1927]

[...Concealment Experience Points +2310]

[Visualization True upgraded to Lv8 (277/11000)]

[Combat Skills upgraded to Lv10 (1211/?)]

[Riding upgraded to Lv7 (789/4500)]

[Acting upgraded to Lv8 (377/6000)]

[Concealment upgraded to Lv8 (169/6000)]

The battle provided a good harvest of experience points for his common skills, and several skill levels had been upgraded. Among them, Combat Skills had finally reached the max level of Lv10, becoming his sixth maxed-out skill.

Without taking the time to feel the changes from the skill upgrades, Xue Jing closed the panel and looked at the magic cube emitting a green light in his hand.

[GOD-1779·Green Cube].

He had pretty much memorized all the Divine Relic information currently available to him, and the Green Cube was naturally among them.

Simply put, it was similar to the \'storage treasure\' from fantasy novels.

Only... unlike the typical storage treasure setting, this thing can only contain living creatures, not inanimate objects.

When Xue Jing got the Green Cube from the green vortex passage before, he had twisted it randomly a couple of times, closing the passage.

As long as the Green Cube is twisted back to the \'shape it was in when the cube was last closed\', the passage can be reopened.

If it is twisted incorrectly, even by a little bit, the Green Cube will immediately trigger the Divine Relic\'s \'Transfer Nature\', teleporting to some random location.

"If only it were the kind that could store inanimate objects... This thing isn\'t much use to me, and inside it\'s still holding a Heavenly Lodge Insect Mother, and god knows how many Cockroach Monsters..."

"Speaking of which, what\'s the food source for these cockroaches inside? Hmm, it must be cannibalism."

Xue Jing tossed the Green Cube in his hand, stretched lazily in mid-air, and gazed towards the east where the sky was beginning to brighten.

"Eh, tired, time to go home, take a bath, pet the cat, and get a good sleep."

...

The next day, when Xue Jing woke up, Ning Fengwan, in her human form, was lying beside him playing with his phone, her white and tender legs kicking non-stop, and her fluffy cat tail swishing in the air.

She wore an oversized white T-shirt that covered down to her thighs, and nothing else, and due to the slackness of the clothing, a glimpse of spring could be seen from the front.

"You caused quite a stir last night," Ning Fengwan said, her slender phoenix eyes lifting as she looked at the awakened Xue Jing.

Xue Jing sat up and touched her soft cat ears on her head with his right hand, smiling:

"What do you mean?"

Ning Fengwan turned her phone screen towards him.

"It\'s all over the news, Black Dragon Knight," she said with a twinkle in her eyes.

"You single-handedly turned the tide of battle, eliminated the crisis threatening the whole of Qingcheng, the hero of the people, the guardian deity of the city, Black Dragon Knight!"

Xue Jing\'s mouth twitched.

"...Don\'t call me by that name."

Picking up a strand of hair with her fingers, Ning Fengwan teased Xue Jing\'s face, "Wasn\'t it you who chose that name? Have you forgotten what you called yourself back in Maple City? The Black Dragon Knight, right?"

"You were quite elated before, so why do you now seem like someone who\'s been cured of second-year syndrome overnight?"

Xue Jing moved Ning Fengwan\'s hair aside and took the phone from her hand.

He glanced briefly at the Qingcheng news interface, where eight of the top ten trending topics were related to last night\'s events, with \'Black Dragon Knight\' being mentioned in five of them.

Xue Jing appeared thoughtful.

Given that it was an incident involving the safety of the whole city, such attention was not surprising, but the focus being largely on him was somewhat strange.

It felt deliberately orchestrated to some extent.

As he was contemplating, his phone rang.

Looking up, he saw it was a call from Pei Xiao\'en.
