Chapter 250 : 161: Super Speed, Extremely Rigid True Dragon, Skill Specialization, Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength! (4K)_2
As he ran, his body automatically fine-tuned his posture, complying with the airflow he encountered, instinctively reducing air resistance to the limit.
"190? No, it should be around 200."
Xue Jing used the backward speed of the scenery in his field of view as a reference to estimate his current speed.
He could basically confirm that he had reached a level of 200 kilometers per hour.
This was already comparable to a high-speed train, a superhuman speed!
Converted, that's about 50 to 60 meters per second.
"If I were to channel energy at full strength, I should be able to increase it by about one-fifth."
Xue Jing thought to himself.
The speed of running, due to the reason of air resistance, had a severely diminishing marginal effect.
On Earth in his previous life, once elite track and field athletes entered under ten seconds for the 100 meters, every 0.01-second improvement was considered a dramatic progress.
Once entering the sub-ten-second realm, even if one's physical fitness was doubled on the spot, it wasn't certain whether their performance could improve by 1 second.
The speed Xue Jing was now achieving was unbelievably incredible.
This was not just due to physical fitness but involved the 'Spirit Interference Self-Reality Theory'.
His strong mental will, when he had the intense thought of 'wanting to go faster,' silently operated, interfering with his self-reality, coupled with the level 9 Running's speed enhancement, allowed him to reach his current running speed.
"Awesome!"
In the exhilaration of his shout, Xue Jing's figure swiftly shot across the plain.
Half an hour later.
The scorched earth was a mess, full of pits and bumps, covered with cooled black magma clumps.
After hurriedly arriving at the appointed place, Xue Jing made an abrupt stop and uncontrollably slid forward for more than ten meters, his toes scraping out a long trench in the ground, kicking up countless clods of dirt.
At this time it was still early, and Renea had not yet arrived.
"They haven't dealt with this corpse."
Xue Jing glanced at the Flame Wailing Dragon corpse he had killed two days before, which hadn't changed at all.
"This Intersecting Boundaries has no other creatures that can threaten the Dragon Breed, so it's normal they don't know how to handle high-level dragon corpses, plus Renea's country seems to revere dragons, they naturally wouldn't dare to offend it immediately."
The Mirror Person spoke.
"Actually, feeding the flesh and core organs of this Dragon Breed to their so-called 'Daruka' would suffice; dragon meat and dragon cores are great nourishment for the creatures of Intersecting Boundaries, enabling them to become strong quickly, and with some luck, might even trigger bloodline mutations."
Xue Jing laughed, "All the strong Dragon Breeds in this Intersecting Boundaries were killed by me, I didn't bother with the corpses... This should provide plentiful opportunities for the locals, shouldn't it?"
The Mirror Person nodded, "Indeed... It just depends on whether anyone is bold enough to seize these opportunities."
"If not, once the remaining power on these Dragon Breed corpses dissipates, wild creatures will come to devour them... likely giving rise to a batch of powerful monsters."
While chatting casually, Xue Jing jumped, leaping several meters and landing on the head of the Flame Wailing Dragon corpse and sat down.
First, he opened the panel to check the Divine Skill column.
After a whole night of recovery, the color of [Shadow Flame] had recovered quite a bit, although still slightly dim, it seemed that it wouldn't be long before the Blue Bar was refilled.
Next, he closed his eyes and introspected his current physical condition.
The fierce battle with the last Guardian Dragon yesterday had resulted in significant loss of life force, which had not fully recovered overnight; the Life Fire was still slightly weak.
However, after reaching level 9 Health Cultivation, the life force recovery rate had also increased considerably, and by this rate, he should recover to full status by tomorrow.
After confirming his own condition, Xue Jing calmed down and, after a long time, initiated Consciousness Simulation.
In the Consciousness Space, a pixel storm swept through, rapidly forming a vast wasteland.
Xue Jing himself also appeared above the wasteland.
He inspected his body data internally; it matched exactly with reality without any errors, after which he immediately took a deep breath and began to channel energy.
The sound of the dragon's chant, lifelike and nearly real, the True Dragon of Inner Strength materialized within him.
At this moment, Xue Jing's Hidden Dragon Vigor had reached level 8; combined with the beyond-human-level talent brought by the level 9 fighting, his control over inner strength was incomparable to before.
"Then, let's give it a try..."
With a thought from Xue Jing, the True Dragon of Inner Strength within him began to change.
The original structure of Inner Strength, which balanced hardness and softness, yin and yang, started to change; all the Soft Power was rapidly extracted from the True Dragon's body.
Before long, the True Dragon's eyes were dull, motionless from head to toe.
At this moment, there wasn't a trace of 'softness' left on its body, but entirely made up of Rigid Force, forming the 'Extremely Rigid True Dragon.'
Compared to the previous, somewhat difficult extraction process, the process of forming the Extremely Rigid True Dragon was extremely smooth, hardly requiring much effort from Xue Jing.
"Very good," Xue Jing's spirit was lifted.
With the Wishful Energy of Vajra Wishful Hand, he had taken the most crucial step, creating the purely rigid 'Pure Rigidity'!
Next, was to pulverize it into powder, then integrate and reshape it into any form he wished with 'Wishful Shaping'.
Xue Jing thought about it, and relying on the reassurance that he wouldn't suffer real harm in Consciousness Simulation, he vibrated his energy without any hesitation.
"Crack—"
The Extremely Rigid True Dragon, its hardness heightened to the extreme and like glass, shattered instantly under Xue Jing's vibration, turning into countless powdered Inner Strength.
