I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Until the twentieth day at Lv8, everything still felt pretty ordinary.

But by the tenth day at Lv9... things started to feel a bit different.

The perfect resurrection every ten days was already rather cheat-like.

If he went a step further, to Lv10... would it directly become infinite resurrection?

Although Xue Jing thought it probably wouldn't be that cheat-like, a cooldown of under ten days was extremely user-friendly for him.

He now had many ways to save his life, and the only fear he had was being corpse-guarded.

If the cooldown for Twin Lifes could be reduced to under ten days, then even if he were hunted and corpse-guarded incessantly, he would surely manage to survive past this cooldown period using various methods, thereby achieving a kind of endless resurrection with an Undying Body.

Therefore, for now, focusing on leveling up Twin Lifes was the best choice for him!

"Not only that, this is still only considering the passive aspect of Twin Lifes..."

Xue Jing pondered.

Even without the passive resurrection effect, leveling up Twin Lifes also greatly boosted his strength.

First was the increase in the Blue Bar after leveling up, which would extend the duration of his various [Power of Twins], [Twin Speed], [Twin Defense].

Even without mentioning the Blue Bar, there are many physical ability options available now that can greatly increase his strength when activated.

"After acquiring [Impeccable], 'Calculation Power' has greatly enhanced me. When activated, it allows me to calculate more spear moves... To multi-thread control of multiple flying swords while using different Martial Arts on different swords also requires Calculation Power."

"'Concentration' is also a good option... and so is 'Reaction Speed'."
Stay tuned to empire

"'Perception Ability' is much needed too. I have no limit to my control distance over 'Feathered Objects'; it only depends on how far I can perceive."

Xue Jing thought carefully; many options in the active effects of Twin Lifes were very helpful to him.

This was the result of the overall increase in his power to a certain level.

"It's a pity that the active effects of Twin Lifes can only enhance physical abilities and not anything related to mental abilities."

Xue Jing felt somewhat regretful.

For example, 'Wisdom' is a kind of mental ability that pertains to a person's Consciousness structure, determining whether a person's thought patterns are meticulous, whether they have brilliant ideas frequently, and so on, nothing to do with the body itself.

And while 'Calculation Power' 'Concentration' 'Memory' and such brain functions are to some extent related to Wisdom, they are not Wisdom itself.

Changes in Wisdom also involve some concepts of 'Ego', such as empathy, willpower, mental maturity, etc., which are all parts of Wisdom, but if these were to be enhanced or changed, it would mean a change in a person's 'Ego'.

By then, whether 'I' would still be 'I' would be uncertain.

A person's Wisdom can naturally grow and change with their experiences... but if it suddenly doubled due to some skill, causing a person's Consciousness to change drastically in an instant, that wouldn't feel very good.

Upon reflection, it might actually be a good thing that there's no 'Wisdom' option in the active effects of Twin Lifes.

Shaking his head to rid his mind of these random thoughts, Xue Jing clicked to upgrade Twin Lifes.

[Twin Birth Lv6 (Divinity required for upgrade: 6470/2000)]

[Twin Birth Lv7 (Divinity required for upgrade: 4470/3000)]

[Twin Birth Lv8 (Divinity required for upgrade: 1470/4500)]

The much-neglected wife finally received Xue Jing's favor, and with great intensity, directly upgraded three levels.

He looked at the details of Twin Lifes at this moment.

[Passive: Possess two lives, can freely choose the time of resurrection within seven days after death, cooldown time: twenty days (cooldown completed)]

[Active: Each Lv1 can designate one physical ability related to oneself, and produce double the effect when used]

[Current activations: Physical Strength, Action Speed, Physical Defense, Instinctive Intuition, Flexibility]

[Current choices available:...]

After three consecutive level-ups, the passive's cooldown decreased by thirty days, directly resetting the cooldown from the previous death Xue Jing had experienced, bringing his resurrection ability back once again!

Invisibly, the big rock in Xue Jing's heart that forced him to be cautious was removed, making him feel much lighter all over.

Having resurrection abilities is blissful; he could be reckless again...

Next came the choice of active effects.

After pondering for a while, Xue Jing selected three options.

[Concentration],[Calculation Power],[Reaction Speed].

Among these, Reaction Speed did not need to be mentioned; it was a direct enhancement to his physical combat strength and quite useful.

As for Calculation Power and Concentration, their uses were more varied in all aspects, but let's set them aside for now.

Xue Jing picked up The Blade That Never Dulls, which was on the table, caressed the scabbard lightly, and spoke softly,

"It's about time I gave you a name... 'The Blade That Never Dulls' is not very convenient to call."

With a 'click,' he slightly drew the blade just a bit, revealing a section of the bright, mirror-like blade.

After thinking for a moment, Xue Jing said,

"The blade is bright and clean, impervious to dirt; thus, let's call you 'Zhao Ye'."

After sheathing the Zhao Ye Blade, Xue Jing walked out of the resting room with it in hand.

He was going for a post-competition interview... Originally, he did not want to go, but the organizers had earnestly pleaded with him for a long time, saying that it was a necessary tradition.

Xue Jing thought about it and since there was already a pre-competition interview before the competition started, he decided to see it through and agreed.

He was not in a hurry and walked to the broadcasting studio at a leisurely pace.

On the way, all the staff members, contestants, and logistics personnel of the contestants who encountered Xue Jing would stop in their tracks and greet him with respect or caution.

Xue Jing nodded and smiled back at each one of them. Unlike his demeanor in the arena, his unpretentious and amiable attitude surprised many.

Soon, Xue Jing arrived at the doorway of the broadcasting studio.

Just as he was about to push the door open and enter, the door was opened from the inside.

Inside was someone Xue Jing temporarily did not want to meet.

"Lu Sang."

Xue Jing touched his nose, looking at the bandaged Otogirusu, who appeared to have severe injuries.

His face looked extremely weak, his lips pale from blood loss, but his posture remained graceful, and his beauty did not diminish. Instead, his vulnerability lent him the beauty of Xi Shi, giving off an even softer and more delicate impression.

He seemed even more like a woman.

"Xue Jun." The voice was as gentle and cheerful as always; Otogirusu seemed to be in an excellent mood upon seeing Xue Jing, his eyes forming beautiful crescents.

Then, his gaze fell upon the ancient long sword in Xue Jing's hand.

"Suzumaru has ended up in your hands, huh? No wonder I suddenly couldn't find it in the resting room just now," said Otogirusu.

"It seems I not only lost to Xue Jun with my hands but also willingly admitted defeat with my entire heart... You truly are the man I set my eyes on, such a thing has never happened before."

Xue Jing said helplessly, "Its name has now been changed to 'Zhao Ye'... Lu Sang, stop deliberately saying things that can cause misunderstandings."

Otogirusu covered his mouth and laughed softly,

"Maybe there's no misunderstanding at all?"

Xue Jing shook his head, "You're not seriously planning on winning me over like this, are you? I'd advise against it; I'm the type whose hand gets heavier when provoked."

Otogirusu sighed, "Xue Jun, do you really care so much about the same gender repulsion? Then I might as well go for surgery, after all, it's not difficult..."

Xue Jing waved his hand, "Please don't, I care more about the difference in spirit than the physical aspect. Men are men, women are women; the body is just a form, while ideology is key. Of course, I care about the body as well..."

With that, he quickly walked past Otogirusu and entered the broadcasting studio, not daring to talk much more with this troublesome person.

Unseen by Xue Jing, Otogirusu stood still for a good while upon hearing those words.

Afterward, he turned his head to look at Xue Jing's retreating figure, his eyes tender and glistening.

"Xue Jun..."

In a voice only he could hear, Otogirusu murmured.

The voice was no longer the ambiguous neutrality, but a clear and melodious girl's tone.
