At noon, Xue Jing had his meal at the Hidden Dragon Dojo.
After he started his martial arts practice, his appetite gradually increased. If he were to eat ordinary food, his consumption would need to be measured in basins.
The direct disciples of the Hidden Dragon Dojo typically ate specially prepared medicinal meals for their main courses, accompanied by some nutrient pastes that Xue Jing had never seen before.
After eating, his whole body would feel warm and toasty, and practicing the Coiling Dragon Art at this time would yield more experience points than usual.
[You practiced the Coiling Dragon Art Posture Skills once, Fitness Experience Points +258]
[You practiced the Coiling Dragon Art Posture Skills once, Channeling Energy Experience Points +221]
[You practiced the Coiling Dragon Art Visualization Method once, Meditative Visualization Experience Points +79]
[Meditative Visualization advanced to Lv2 (30/500)]
After an hour of standing practice of the Coiling Dragon Art, Xue Jing gradually calmed his breathing and sorted out the hot energy within his body, as the 'Dragon Qi' gradually dissipated from all over.
A breeze seemed to pass through his mind like one in the summer, bringing a refreshing coolness that penetrated his heart and made his thoughts clearer and more focused.
With closed eyes, he visualized the entire training room in his mind, then walked a few steps forward, naturally squatting down to pick up a bottle of mineral water from the hardwood floor, unscrewed it, and gulped it down.
He then walked to the window and without any hesitation, reached out and opened it to welcome the fresh air outside.
It did not seem at all like he had lost his sight.
When people close their eyes, they lose their sense of distance, balance, and direction.
But now, even with closed eyes, as long as Xue Jing visualized the training room in his consciousness, everything here was as clear to him as if he had 'spiritual power scanning', no different from seeing with open eyes.
"Maybe if I continue like this, I could develop a 'Mind's Eye'?"
Xue Jing thought to himself.
Without using the eyes to see, relying solely on the 'imagination' of consciousness, to anticipate every move of an opponent, freeing oneself from the dependency on the senses.
That was his future expectation for the Skills of Meditative Visualization.
While he was resting, his phone on the floor suddenly vibrated.
He looked at it and saw a message from the wealthy dominating woman.
[Wu Youqing: There's a job, hurry over.]
Xue Jing immediately became spirited.
Damn, there was finally some work!
He immediately stood up, changed his clothes, and almost ran out of the Hidden Dragon Dojo, boarding the bus.
First, he went home to get his library card, took the time to rub the face of Miao Miao, who was napping, then quickly left the house and headed straight for Qingcheng University's campus, arriving at the seventh floor of the library.
After entering, Xue Jing looked around; apart from Wu Youqing, who was sitting in the rest area wearing glasses, he did not see Wu Youqing anywhere else.
He looked around again, then suddenly realized something was wrong.
Huh? The Wu Youqing wearing glasses... isn't that Wu Youqing?
He turned around abruptly.
The girl took off the rimless glasses she was wearing and looked at Xue Jing with a smile brimming with meaning.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Xue Jing felt that Wu Youqing seemed much prettier than when he had seen her before.
"Your 'consciousness intensity' is very high, to be able to find out I was here so quickly," the girl said with a blink of surprise.
Seeing Xue Jing staring at the glasses in her hand, Wu Youqing smiled and said, "As you can see, this is a Divine Relic."
"Would you like to try them on?"
Without a change in expression, Xue Jing reached out to take the glasses while curiously asking, "What is the function of this Divine Relic?"
[Detection of Divine Substance, absorbing Divinity...]
"GOD-1280·Ordinary Looking Glasses."
The girl explained.
She sat up a little straighter, projecting the developed European-sized bosom with pride, trembling slightly.
For some reason, Xue Jing felt that Wu Youqing was now much more attractive than before, and he couldn't help but fix his gaze on her.
"It's a simple effect, it makes one's presence diminish, becoming 'ordinary and unremarkable', and won't draw the attention of others."
Wu Youqing looked at Xue Jing's drifting gaze with a teasing expression.
"However, the function of the glasses is to suppress presence, not to eliminate it… Once you take off the glasses, the suppressed presence will burst out all at once, especially attracting people's attention. The longer you've been wearing the glasses, the stronger the burst of presence will be."
Xue Jing suddenly understood.
So it wasn't that he suddenly became a lecher, it was because of the glasses' effect that made Wu Youqing more attractive than usual.
That's alright then.
He directed his gaze to the charming aspects of the girl and began to look openly.
- This wasn't his desire to look; it was the fault of the Divine Relic.
"BOSS, didn't you say there was a job?"
Xue Jing spoke up.
Wu Youqing took out a stack of documents from the bag beside her and handed them to Xue Jing.
"This mission is very special. It's a C-level containment mission—not something you should be dealing with, but..."
The girl lifted her chin, gesturing him to look at the documents.
Xue Jing put on the [GOD-1280], and in an instant, his presence transformed from Innate Freeloader Holy Body to an unnoticed stone on the roadside, catching Wu Youqing slightly off guard.
He flipped through the documents.
[Divine Relic Sighting Report]
[At 2:32 PM on October 18th, a stabbing incident occurred on Lianming Street in the South City area of Qingcheng; the assailant was identified as a blonde, tattooed young woman wearing a crown]
[At 1:11 AM on October 19th, the same woman reappeared…]
In the documents, there were a lot of sighting reports, with several color photos attached to the side. The photos showed a young woman in her late twenties wearing a black dress, with golden dyed hair, a neck tattoo of an exaggerated large spider, and a beautiful crown on her head. At the center of the crown was a black flower.
[Confirmed, the crown worn by the woman is 'GOD-1105·Crown of the Wicked Woman,' classified as a 'Dangerous' Divine Relic. Please proceed with containment as soon as possible]
After reading the last passage, Xue Jing turned to the next page to find the information about [Crown of the Wicked Woman].
[GOD-1105·Crown of the Wicked Woman]
[It actively approaches females with malevolent thoughts, and once worn, continuously strengthens the wearer's inner malevolence. At the same time, it synchronously enhances the physical abilities of the wearer, until she becomes a peerless great villainess.]
Xue Jing placed the documents on the table.
"Finished reading?" Wu Youqing asked.
Xue Jing nodded.
"Finished… So why am I assigned to this C-level containment mission?"
Wu Youqing's eyes brimmed with amusement as she sized him up from head to toe.
"[Crown of the Wicked Woman] can continuously enhance the wearer's malevolence… Women too have reputations."
"Seeing an attractive man, they can't help but want to possess him; that's also a kind of 'malevolence.'"
Xue Jing: "…"
He understood why he was chosen for this containment mission.
He adjusted the rimless glasses on his nose.
"So these glasses were prepared for this purpose?"
Wu Youqing nodded, smiling, "You naturally have a good foundation; once you wear [GOD-1280] for a while and then take it off, that momentary burst of presence is enough to shatter the already weak psychological defenses of the [Wicked Woman], igniting her desires."
"At that point, you'll be able to easily remove the [Crown of the Wicked Woman]… This containment mission is tailor-made for you."
Xue Jing was speechless.
This was asking him to sell his charm.
But it was indeed suitable for him.
Perhaps he could take a shot—after removing the glasses, a swipe of styling gel on his head.
From now on, shall I stand above the heavens?
