I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

At that moment, the Feather Transformation had finally been successfully applied to Night Ice.

The dark blue gun shaft that had continually struggled suddenly snapped to attention, regaining its original form.

Seeing this, Xue Jing heaved a sigh of relief, "That's a relief."

Luckily, Feather Transformation was still effective... Otherwise, if it kept that dangling look, this gun would be unusable.

Using the Shadow Flame drill to continuously dig upwards, Xue Jing quickly broke through the ground with Night Ice and returned to the surface.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the countless mutated steel bars in the sky, Xue Jing flicked his wrist with Night Ice, and suddenly realized something.

"Hmm? Wait a minute."

He reached out and touched the dark blue gun shaft, feeling that there was something different about the gun...

With a thought, Xue Jing swung Night Ice in a Spear Glow, then thrust forward!

The sharp spearhead sliced through the air, violently moving forward, and then... the spearhead made a U-shaped exaggerated bend towards Xue Jing's back.

"What?"

Xue Jing was somewhat surprised.

The effect after being mutated by the Parasitic Candle... was preserved?

An item affected by Feather Transformation was equivalent to an extension of Xue Jing's body.

He started to control Night Ice as effortlessly as moving his limbs.

The dark blue gun shaft under his control, first extended continuously, stretching from nine feet to several meters in length, and that wasn't even the limit.

Moreover, the elongated gun shaft could twist and turn at will, as flexible as a soft snake.

"Night-chan, did you sneak off and eat a Rubber Fruit while I wasn't looking?"

Xue Jing had a strange expression on his face.

He hadn't expected that Night Ice, when mutated by the Parasitic Candle... would have this unexpected gain.

After being retracted, it had become this special kind of weapon.

"Damn, I should have kept my clothes," Xue Jing slapped his forehead, somewhat annoyed.

Initially, his clothes had attacked him stealthily, causing him to become angry, so he had burned them clean with the Shadow Flame.

Had he known, he would have kept them and just cleaned them up with Feather Transformation.

With a sigh, Xue Jing flicked his finger against Night Ice's gun shaft, producing a crisp sound.

He nodded, "Hmm... its toughness hasn't changed, just gained the peculiar ability to stretch and curve."

Slightly Channeling Energy, infusing Power into the gun shaft, Night Ice was immediately stimulated to emit a dark blue Spear Glow.

"The clarity of the Power flow hasn't changed, good."

Xue Jing was very satisfied.

This pole, having eaten a Rubber Fruit and become a mutated long spear, could be used for many tricky maneuvers.

Just the spear tip's sudden ability to bend was enough for any opponent to handle.

Summoning the Nonexistent Beast, Xue Jing placed Night Ice into an invisible seam, shot up into the sky, donned a set of Shadowflame Wrap Armor, and began dealing with those mutated steel bars.

These steel bars, conceptually, were not "his" to Feather Transform, so keeping them had no use.

Even if he could Feather Transform them, it wouldn't be very useful... after all, they were just steel bars, and their material potential had already been set, even if they grew mouths and could bite, they would only be so effective.

...

Having left the unfinished building area, far away, members of the Void Blade and White Crow looked in the direction where Xue Jing was.

Since nearly all equipment had been destroyed by the Boundary Shock when the Parasitic Candle appeared, there were no monitors on the battlefield at this time. The team, following Xue Jing's orders, kept a distance and had no clear idea of what was happening there.

They could only continuously hear loud bangs, understanding that a fierce battle was taking place over there.

"Look over there! The mountain... the mountain has been split!"

A member of White Crow pointed towards a small mountain on the outskirts of South City, exclaiming in alarm.

"Lord Jing... what exactly is he fighting against."

Everyone was in awe.

"Have the rights to the satellite imagery not been granted yet?"

Void Blade frowned and looked towards a White Crow member wearing a white lab coat.

"No reply yet... Captain," the White Crow member wiped the sweat from his forehead and hastily responded.

Void Blade sighed.

Because the super organism "Dragon Mother" had nested in the orbit of Earth Star, all satellites launched by early humans had been destroyed.

It was only in the last twenty years that "Dragon Core Satellite," treated as a peer by Dragon Breeds, had been developed; new satellites had been progressively launched into orbit.

However, suitable Dragon Cores for satellite manufacturing were extremely rare, and currently, there weren't many Dragon Core Satellites in the sky; The Sixth Agency didn't have many either.

Within White Crow, only captains of large teams and above had the authority to call upon the satellites at any time.

"Captain, a call from the Qing City Government."

A member of White Crow shouted to Void Blade.

Upon hearing this, Void Blade gently tapped behind his own ear several times.

"Hello? Councilman Pei..."

She began with a calm voice.

"..."

"There's been an incident, it's being handled..."

"..."

"Tell Chief Chu not to worry, the person handling it now is Xue Jing..."

After Void Blade finished, listening to the change in tone on the other end, the suddenly cautious Councilman Pei, her expression grew a bit unusual.

"...Anyway, that's the situation, so reassure the public, and let Xue Jing handle the rest."

After hanging up the call, the nearby Mountain Demon spoke teasingly:

"It seems this newly appointed Councilman Pei holds quite a trust in Xue Jing... it even feels like he's ingratiating himself."

"Do we now casually borrow and even break helicopters from the Qing City Government, just by mentioning that Xue Jing is one of our White Crow members..."

Mountain Demon pinched his chin.

"A few months ago, he was still a nobody."

Void Blade spoke with a calm tone.

"Now, he's become a figure whom a city councilor, even the city's head, tries to ingratiate."

Mountain Demon remarked, "Qingcheng has become his base now; he could probably implement some not-so-outlandish new policies directly... but I guess he won't regard this power with much interest. For a person like him, only the power concentrated in oneself is his pursuit."

Speaking of which, he scratched his head, "Damn, the guy is only seventeen years old."

Void Blade looked toward the direction of the unfinished building area, listening to the constant booming sounds from the battlefield, and mused:

"Seventeen years old isn't the key... There are others his age who are just as formidable, even more so, but he has achieved this in just a few months from being an ordinary person, that's the key."

"It's truly exciting, Xue Jing... what kind of figure will he become in the future?"

...

By the time everything concluded, it was past six in the evening when dusk had set in.

Xue Jing cleaned up the battlefield, eradicated all the mutated steel, then joined the White Crow members and briefed them on the full situation; he was pulled along by Mountain Demon to celebrate with a meal.

During the meal, Void Blade mentioned that this incident was essentially solved by him alone, earning significant merit. The Sixth Agency would likely provide a decent reward.

Xue Jing casually mentioned that he was very interested in the "Divine Factor"...

Ever since he knew that "Divine Factor" referred to Divinity in the Skill Panel, he no longer needed to focus solely on snatching Divine Relics.

Inside The Sixth Agency, Cease-Blades's chief commander, a Martial Artist who had used the Ultimate Breakthrough Method to breakthrough three times, should be able to provide a "Divine Factor."

Void Blade naturally knew what was implied and indicated that, although the item was a rare commodity, even rarer than Divine Relics, he would mention it to his superiors.

After the celebration feast, Xue Jing received a call from Councilman Pei who showered him with endless thanks for once again safeguarding Qingcheng.

Councilman Pei wanted to transfer money to Xue Jing's account as a token of gratitude, but Xue Jing declined.

He was not lacking money at the moment, and he still harbored deep suspicions about the cross-dimensional Parasitic Candle.

The likelihood was high that it had targeted him specifically; appearing in Qingcheng only meant Qingcheng was caught in the crossfire, not that he had saved Qingcheng.

He obviously could not say this to Councilman Pei, who then assumed Xue Jing was considering the government's finances, acting selflessly without expecting rewards, and was somewhat moved. He promised to try to procure more Divine Relics for Xue Jing.

In the evening, Xue Jing did not return home but went to the Qingcheng University library instead.

He had many questions that needed answers from the great Youqing A Dream.
