Chapter 210: Chapter 142: True Dragon Emergence, Solidified Dragon Qi Protecting the Body, Pay Respect to Xue Jing (4K)
In the gym of the hotel room, Xue Jing's skin was flushed red, faintly emitting steam.
He slowly calmed his boiling blood, which seemed like tiny stars bursting, and opened his eyes to access the panel.
[...Fitness Experience Points +371]
[...Hidden Dragon Energy Experience Points +359]
After swiping away the notifications of his gains, he shifted his gaze toward the skills section.
[Hidden Dragon Vigor Lv6 (6309/7000)]
Ever since he reached Lv6 of the Hidden Dragon Vigor on the cruise, through numerous life-or-death battles, real combat, and daily simulation in the Consciousness Space, as well as the regular practice of the Coiling Dragon Art and Armor Shaking Skill.
The experience points for Hidden Dragon Vigor soared rapidly, and in just a few short days, it was near the threshold of leveling up again.
"This experience, just two more sessions of the Armor Shaking Skill's practice."
After a brief contemplation, Xue Jing began to stimulate his Life Force with spiritual power. The burning Life Fire forcibly recovered the damage caused by the practice of the Armor Shaking Skill.
"I'll overdraw the Life Force a bit, practice it two more times, and then level it up."
He stood up and continued to practice the 'Blood Training' movement in the Armor Shaking Skill.
"Gudong——"
His blood, thick and mercurial, surged and boiled within him, making sounds like the roaring tides of rivers and seas.
With each complex movement and breath, Xue Jing's heart also began to beat furiously.
The heart coordinated with the blood. Among the Five Major Practices, the heart in the five organs corresponds to blood, thus training blood is, in fact, training the heart.
Blood is the source of power for the human body. A stronger heart can pump more powerful blood, and besides the lungs, the blood and heart are another key to the operation of Power.
Oxygen enters the blood vessels to drive the blood, and the blood delivers oxygen throughout the body; they complement each other.
As time progressed, Xue Jing completed another session of practicing the Armor Shaking Skill. However, he showed no signs of stopping. Immediately stimulating the Life Fire to burn again, he repaired his body and continued to practice.
Only after the third practice session of the Armor Shaking Skill ended for the day did he finally stop.
By then, the surface of his skin was swollen and hot, exuding wisps of steam, his clothes were completely soaked through, and the floor beneath his feet was wet with an exaggerated pool of sweat, causing the temperature of the entire gym to rise.

[...Hidden Dragon Energy Experience Points +361]
[Hidden Dragon Vigor upgraded to Lv7 (36/9000)]
Breathing slightly, Xue Jing picked up a 2L bottle of mineral water that was on the floor and twisted off the cap.
Then, like a whale gulping, with a snapping sound, in just one second, two liters of water went straight into his stomach, and the plastic bottle was sucked dry.
His internal organs operated swiftly, distributing the water at a rate ten times faster than normal, replenishing his dehydrated body.
"Phew, I feel alive again."
Exhaling softly, Xue Jing took off his shirt, revealing his divinely forged perfect torso, his Power rippling across his body with each pulse.
The sticky sweat clinging to his skin exploded away in an instant, turning into a ring of mist that dispersed around him.
"Oh? That explosive power."
Xue Jing touched his arm in surprise.
It felt very dry, not a hint of moisture.
Yet, just a moment ago, his body was drenched in sweat, and his arms were slick with it.
"Hidden Dragon Vigor Lv7, I've officially reached the realm of 'Not Even a Feather Can Be Added, Not Even a Fly Can Land'—a shake and not a drop remains."
Xue Jing took a deep breath through his mouth and nose, inhaling a vast amount of oxygen into his lungs, then activated his Power.
His entire body responded instantly, and from an internal view, a True Dragon appeared, larger than before, with clearer body details and facial expressions.
"Yin—" The sound of the Dragon Qi was filled with joy and excitement.
Its spirit had reached the point where it clearly displayed vivid emotions.
At Xue Jing's thought, the True Dragon swam through his body, rumbling like distant thunder wherever it went.
After traveling throughout his body, the True Dragon soared into the sky, bursting out from his shoulder!
A white dragon made of swirling Qi Force flew off Xue Jing's shoulder, coiling around his body a few times, with its ten claws outstretched and the dragon's head opening its jaws, revealing sharp dragon teeth.
"Yin—" The sound of the dragon's chant vibrated the air, and Ning Fengwan, who was sleeping on the couch in the living room, moved her cat ears and instinctively revealed her 'Serpent Slayer Spearheads.'
"Is this... the True Dragon leaving the body, Dragon Qi protecting the form?"
Xue Jing said in astonishment.
He reached out to touch the 'Dragon Qi' coiling around his body.
The emerging True Dragon was blurry at the edges, like a mist, yet it felt tangible to the touch.
The sensation was somewhat soft, akin to cotton.
"The style is gradually getting more fantastical... Is this the spiritual interference with my own reality?"
"The sharp and refined Dragon Qi that I've fostered through long cultivation of the Hidden Dragon School has finally materialized into the actual 'Dragon Qi?'"
Xue Jing pondered with a gleam in his eyes.
"My master said that 'Mystic Art·Vital Point' strives for the ultimate Piercing Force, thus it's typically executed with sharp blades in combat."
"However, the highest realm of Eye-Dotting is, contrarily, to employ it without weapons, using the flesh instead, which is called 'A Jiaolong needs borrowed strength, a True Dragon has its Dragon Qi.'
"The Dragon Qi I've painstakingly cultivated, sharper than any blade, is most suited for Eye-Dotting... the Dragon Qi my master referred to must be what I have now."
Xue Jing willed it, and the fingers extended; instantly, the Qi Force dragon on his body moved its claws to overlap with his own.
He aligned his fingers in the Piercing Hand pose and swiftly thrust at a weight plate hanging on the equipment nearby.
