Chapter 343: Chapter 274: On the Verge

"Xingxiao really showed off big time this time."

"Hell, I’m so jealous."

"Even though all of us were there, and that woman didn’t succeed in launching the ritual, she had no choice but to retreat."

"And now everyone’s calling him the savior, the prophet, the number one person under heaven..."

Bai Yiyi flipped through the content on her phone, resentful, "We’ve been totally eclipsed by him; the whole internet is discussing him now."

Jing Shiyu nodded, "After all, nominally speaking, it was Xingxiao’s premonition that warned everyone of the impending crisis beforehand."

"The battle between him and the girl in black also attracted a lot of attention; it must be the largest-scale, highest-level, most destructive fight people in the real world have seen to date."

"It’s quite normal for such a fight to have a shocking impact on people in the real world."

Still unsatisfied, Bai Yiyi complained, "Ah, if only we had found the woman in black, not only could I have shown off big time, but I also could have absorbed her memories, and who knows, I might have directly stepped into the third realm."

Jing Shiyu rolled her eyes, "Don’t set your sights too high, you better hurry up and break through to the second legacy first."

"The coming period should be rather calm."

"It’s coming soon," Bai Yiyi said, "Just wait until I fully digest this gain, and I’ll break through to martial master in no time."

Little Lin Xing stood next to Bai Yiyi, glancing at the content on her phone and snorting, "These real-world people, once they see Xingxiao’s combat power, not many mention sharing his premonition ability anymore; instead, they start admiring him, a bunch of people who bully the weak and fear the strong."

Xingxiao’s Illusion gave a slight smile, "Everybody in the world is motivated by interest. Naturally, no one would do something if the risks outweigh the benefits; it’s human nature, and it’s an advantage."

"Putting aside hate, malice, and beliefs... interests are often the root cause of conflicts in this world..."

The more Little Lin Xing listened, the more irritable he became, "Enough already, stop preaching."

"In the end, isn’t it just a matter of giving Xingxiao a good thrashing at the final performance?"

Xingxiao’s Illusion shook its head, "Indeed, if you can win, that would indeed be a good approach. Then you’ll gain renown throughout the world, and be able to command all factions to unite against the great catastrophe."

Little Lin Xing floated in front of Lin Xing, eager to try, "Let me do it when the time comes, I guarantee I’ll help you win."

Xingxiao’s Illusion countered, "Don’t think it’s that simple; after all, he’s an unmatched expert I’ve helped create. Even with you going up, victory is not guaranteed."

"Xingxiao now, with the experience of countless rebirths, has likely honed both of his legacies to the peak of the third legacy."

"To beat him, Lin Xing’s current cultivation has just set foot in the third legacy, and the time augmented by celestial qi is limited; it’s still not quite enough."

Lin Xing didn’t speak but felt the strand of celestial qi in his sea of consciousness; he sensed that today, this celestial qi seemed to have grown slightly stronger.

Lin Xing thought, "Unfettered and carefree."

"Before the reversal of time, during the battle with the girl in black, my celestial qi didn’t grow much; could it be because of the conflict in my heart?"

"And now..." he glanced at Little Lin Xing, "Am I acting more according to my own heart?"

At the same time, Xingxiao’s Illusion, looking at Lin Xing, said, "Although the foundations and systems of your first two legacies are well-established, letting you enter the third legacy and utilizing the power of celestial qi, your strength is formidable."

"But to defeat Xingxiao, or even to confront the great disaster in two more months, you need to master more methods."

"Otherwise, if the opponent just drags out the time until your celestial qi is exhausted, you’ll be completely out of options."

"Furthermore, we need to take advantage of the time to strengthen our celestial energy and elevate our cultivation to the limit of the third legacy."

Lin Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this. However, the first thing that actually came to his mind was not defeating Xingxiao, nor confronting the great calamity, but the process of tearing through Jing Shiyu’s flesh.

He didn’t want to go through that again.

So he wanted to possess greater strength, powerful enough that he wouldn’t need to change the past to enforce his will.

"Master Bai needs to do the same; as long as Master Bai achieves the Yuhua Reincarnation Chapter sooner, she can help me with my ailment and extract those surplus memories from my head."

With the crisis in New Ke City resolved, the entire city seemed to have once again regained its tranquility.

Bai Yiyi was assimilating the memories she had gleaned from the incident, while Jing Shiyu was busy arranging the work for the next two conferences and martial demonstrations.

Lin Xing was also recalling those memories that had resurfaced in his mind, the cultivation materials related to the third legacy.

A rare silence filled the room as each person focused on enhancing their own strength.

In the midst of this calm, the knocking at the hotel door suddenly rang out. Yet, what surprised Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu was that according to their perception, there was clearly no one outside the door.

"Who is it?" Jing Shiyu activated her Heavenly Eye and continued to look outside, but still, she saw no one.

Then, in the next moment, they saw a figure appear as if invisible, stepping directly through the door into the room.

Just as Jing Shiyu was about to launch an attack, she realized the figure had imperceptibly reached her side and was curiously examining her computer screen.

Looking at the content on the screen, the person laughed and said, "So it was indeed you organizing people against me. With your help, Lin Xing, the journey here must have been much easier."

"When?" Jing Shiyu felt a shock of fear at this revelation: "When did he get next to me?"

In that moment, a surge of terror rose in Jing Shiyu’s heart because she knew that, just a moment ago, the person could have killed her.

When she saw the person’s face clearly, Jing Shiyu felt an even deeper sinking feeling: "Xingxiao?"

Then, Jing Shiyu discovered that numerous glimmers of sword light had already passed through Xingxiao’s figure at some point she hadn’t noticed.

Evidently, during the instant Jing Shiyu had been unaware, a battle had already erupted between Xingxiao and Lin Xing.

But Lin Xing’s sword light was like it had pierced through a shadow, unable to affect the figure at all.

Xingxiao, however, merely smiled faintly, stretched out his palm towards Lin Xing, and asked with a friendly face, "Have you had your fun these past few days? Now... can you return my share of the memories to me?"

A shiver of dread ran through Jing Shiyu and Bai Yiyi’s hearts in an instant.

As Xingxiao’s oppressive aura enveloped them, they both found that they couldn’t even move a finger.

Lin Xing slowly walked up to Xingxiao and said face-to-face, "Originally, I wanted to defeat you in the martial demonstration, but it seems... you’re too impatient to wait."

The ground beneath Lin Xing’s feet began to ripple and undulate, and runes quickly spread from his feet to the walls and ceiling of the entire hotel room, enveloping the whole room.

"With such confidence, it seems you’ve stepped into the third legacy?" Xingxiao cocked his head and said helplessly, "If that’s the case, then it seems impossible to settle this matter peacefully."

"Tsk, one after another, why will no one follow my plans?"

Talismans began to emerge from the air around Xingxiao, and bursts of thunderous power flashed behind him, each carrying a sense of divine authority.

As a great battle seemed imminent, Jing Shiyu and Bai Yiyi felt like they were drenched in cold sweat, almost seeing the scene of countless buildings collapsing and streets being leveled.
