Chapter 268: Chapter 169: The Power of Dragon Cherry, Magic Martial Training, Excellent Skills, Causing My Magnetic Field to Rotate
"It's lifted, it's lifted!!"
"The intermingling of the Mirror World reflected has been lifted? Weren't we told that breaking the core of the Intersecting Boundaries was necessary?"
Outside the 'Roaring Waterfall', several workers dressed in heat-resistant protective suits exclaimed in front of their devices.
"Wasn't the core of the Roaring Waterfall a pureblood dragon species? Could our previous assumption have been wrong? It shouldn't be."
"Typically, the core of an Intersecting Boundary should be the strongest creature inside, a pureblood dragon species shouldn't have been an issue... Could it be a 'rule-based' core?"
"Anyway, it's broken, which is good, hurry and notify Doctor Shen!"

"It couldn't be that the youth named Xue Jing actually slaughtered the pureblood dragon species, could it..."
"Haha, what are you joking about, how is that possible, he's only seventeen years old."
...
Inside the camp, Doctor Shen and the members of the Xuren Squad all breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the message.
"Xue Jing actually succeeded…"
"He really is someone Miss Wu Da thought highly of, how did you guys find such a talent?"
Doctor Shen relaxed his tense spirit of six days and spoke with a smile.
"For someone of his age to alone handle a pureblood dragon species... whatever method he used, this achievement would rank high even on a global scale."
"Such a genius, it's too wasteful to just be an unofficial member of the White Crow..."
Xuren, with crossed arms, spoke, "Nothing can be done, he himself has no intention of officially joining the agency. Ordinary people would do anything to get in and receive the royal rations, but he simply doesn't care. If it weren't for my use of the Divine Relic as temptation, he even wouldn't want to be an unofficial member…"
Doctor Shen pondered and said, "The higher-ups will likely offer more generous terms this time, let's try to negotiate again, I think it would be a loss to the nation if this person doesn't join the agency…"
Xuren: "I can only say I'll do my best... but the hope is slim, he's not someone who can be bound."
Doctor Shen nodded, "That will have to do then, contact Miss Wu Da on your end, I'll arrange for someone to meet Xue Jing in the Intersecting Boundaries and handle the follow-up matters…"
...
Several thick, black roots twisted and, like catching a small chicken, bound a Vomitus Beast.
Two of the roots with pointed ends directly penetrated the Vomitus Beast's neck, faintly emitting a 'gulp gulp' sucking sound.
The Vomitus Beast let out a dismal scream, its body visibly shriveled at a remarkable pace, and within half a minute, it was sucked dry into a skin-and-bones state, dying on the spot.
Xue Jing snapped his fingers, retracting the black roots of the Dragon Cherry.
"The Dragon Cherry indeed possesses the characteristic of absorbing life force."
"...However, the speed of absorption, compared to when the pureblood dragon species used it, is somewhat lacking."
He said.
Compared to the previous scene where the pureblood dragon species had blossomed a sky full of petals and instantly reduced him to a dried husk, he found that using the Dragon Cherry on a mere Vomitus Beast took half a minute, which was quite inefficient.
"It's simple, the pureblood dragon species was powerful because of its core ability."
The Mirror Person sat on Xue Jing's shoulder, swaying their small feet in a good mood.
"This Dragon Cherry is merely a carrier for it to exert its core ability. Simply put, its core ability acts like a 'magnifying glass', greatly amplifying the characteristic of the Dragon Cherry in absorbing life force, hence the effect."
Xue Jing nodded, "I see."
Although it was somewhat disappointing that the Dragon Cherry wasn't as formidable as he had imagined, it didn't bother him.
[Plant Pact]skill, with the increase in level, the strength of the signed plants also improved.
As the level of Plant Pact would continue to rise in the future, so too would the speed at which the Dragon Cherry absorbed life force.
The most crucial point was that, even excluding the feature of 'absorbing life force', the strength of the Dragon Cherry itself already satisfied him greatly, far surpassing the previous Dragon Thunder Plant and Oxygen-Absorbing Tree he had contracted.
Moreover, the Dragon Cherry possessed another ability that was extremely awesome to him...
Xue Jing stretched out his right hand and coaxed a black tentacle from Dragon Cherry to lightly attach to his arm.
'Glug-glug——glug-glug——'
Xue Jing closed his eyes and entered a state of internal vision.
The Life Fire within him, at that moment, seemed as if fuel had been added to it, suddenly burning much more fiercely.
This was another ability of Dragon Cherry—Nurturing Return.
It could relay the absorbed life force back to his own body... He hadn't yet tried if it could be relayed to others.
If that were possible too, then he would possess a rather unique support ability.
"From now on, I'll fight without ever looking at my own health bar."
"Your blood is my blood, and my blood is still my blood."
With a thought, he made Dragon Cherry curl up and grow inversely, turning into a walnut-sized black seed, which Xue Jing held in his hand, stroked it twice dearly, then returned it to the pocket of his tactical suit.
He had brought three extra tactical suits into this place; the previous ones had been damaged, and this one was the last.
After the nurturing return of life force from Dragon Cherry, he now felt invigorated, unable to sleep.
Thinking it over, he simply took up a stance and began to practice the movements of Armor Shaking Skill, Spleen Training, and Flesh Training.
In the days he'd been in the Intersecting Boundaries, because he hadn't brought any Dragon Thunder Powder with him, and had constantly been pursuing Dragon Breeds, he basically hadn't practiced his skills.
Now that things had settled down and he had some free time, he planned to catch up on the missed practices of these past few days.
This was also a good time to test something he'd been curious about…
At this moment, his Health Cultivation had reached its limit, fighting, nurturing, and other skills that enhance physical capabilities had all greatly improved; his current physical strength was incomparably greater than before.
Initially, the Armor Shaking Skill, Organ Training, which was quite difficult and harmful to the body, now posed almost no challenge on the first attempt. He practiced it three times in a row before he began to feel the previous burden on his flesh.
In the past, at this point, he would have used a Nebulizer Inhaler to take Dragon Thunder Powder, using the Power of Dragon Thunder to temper his internal organs, and other herbs within to heal injuries.
But now…
With a thought, Xue Jing sprouted two beautiful silver-white Lightning Dragon Horns atop his head after the sound of crackling electricity.
Subsequently, silver Dragon Thunder emerged from his body, entered his organs, and started electrotherapy on his spleen with a crackling sound.
Simultaneously, he used his spiritual power to stimulate the Life Fire, continuously healing the electrotherapy-induced damage to the spleen.
In this way, without consuming Dragon Thunder Powder, he still obtained a body tempering effect far superior to that of the powder, and various unnoticeable impurities within the spleen were continuously electrolyzed and expelled, becoming more brilliantly clear.
"You guys train scientifically, right? I f***ing train magically!"
Half an hour later, Xue Jing opened his eyes and clenched his fists, instantly feeling his body stronger and more powerful.
With spleen and flesh in harmony, training the spleen means training the flesh, and a strong spleen means strong flesh!
Just one session of training allowed him to distinctly sense his progress, with efficiency far surpassing that of before!
And it was all free of charge, without any medicine!
"It's a pity, Health Cultivation has reached its limit, temporarily unable to gain Experience Points, otherwise this one session could have earned at least 700 or 800 points."
Xue Jing looked at the panel showing [Health Cultivation Experience Value +560] [Hidden Dragon Wishful Strength Experience Value +523], thinking somewhat regretfully.
However, though Health Cultivation had stopped increasing Experience Points, the physical strength he gained from Martial Arts Practice was not counted within the panel; he could still continue to grow stronger.
"Dragon Thunder is really impressive, I wonder if this technique could affect the human magnetic field, directly using electromagnetic force to stimulate the training of the flesh… I should study this thoroughly."
"Who doesn't dream a madman's dream once in a while?"
Xue Jing thought to himself.
"A truly excellent skill, making my magnetic field rotate."
