Chapter 345 Chapter 206 All Weapons Mastery, Annihilating the Heavenly Lodge Insect Mother, Xue Wan Returns, Master's Alternative Meal! (4K)_2

```If placed in an ordinary world without an exaggerated power system, no matter if you're a Sword Saint or Saber Emperor, with whatever cool nickname you might have, you'd still have to suit up and switch to a Nine-Chi Spear on the battlefield. The longer the weapon you can handle, the better—it's best if you can skewer an enemy from ten or twenty meters away.

Even in this world where martial arts are highly developed, the advantages of a spear still trump many other weapons.

It is said that among the seven great titles, the majority of those who have received the title 'Army Master' have primarily been masters of spear skills.

In the Far East, there is also the saying, 'Sword Dao triples power, while Spear Skills multiply it ninefold.'

Meaning, holding a sword grants you three times the advantage over being unarmed, and a spear grants nine times the advantage.

The only problem with this weapon is that it's extremely inconvenient to carry around...

Apart from improving skills and practicing martial arts, some other things also happened.

First was dealing with the Heavenly Lodge Insect Mother problem inside the Green Cube—the Green Cube still housed a considerable number of Cockroach Monsters. These creatures fed on each other, and the Heavenly Lodge Insect Mother could continuously produce more Cockroach Monsters by consuming them, creating an infinite loop.

This meant they had an endless supply of food and potentially limitless room to increase in numbers.

If left unchecked, their numbers would swell like a snowball rolling downhill, multiplying faster and faster.

This is why the Heavenly Lodge Insect Mother was rated the highest danger level of 6.2.

Therefore, Xue Jing set a date with the government and chose an underground air-raid shelter where, surrounded by numerous Sheriffs wielding heavy firepower, they released the Green Cube.

What followed was a relentless metal storm that turned any Cockroach Monster emerging from the green vortex into a sieve.

When confronted with giant Cockroach Monsters whose exoskeletons were so tough that not even heavy firepower could take them down instantly, Xue Jing would personally step in to kill them to prevent casualties.

When no more Cockroach Monsters emerged from the green vortex, Xue Jing took off all his clothes and other inanimate objects that couldn't enter the Green Cube and entered the vortex naked.

In a strange green space where he could move freely in any direction like underwater and could breathe, Xue Jing used his Shadow Flame long knife to eliminate the remaining Cockroach Monsters, one by one.

After searching for a while, he found a peculiar giant insect in a corner, which looked like a human brain but without the folds. Having seen the handbook, Xue Jing immediately identified it as the Heavenly Lodge Insect Mother and with a punch, he blew it up into countless pieces of flesh.

The reward, however, was beyond his expectations—891 points of Divinity!

It was one-third of what Xue Jing had obtained from killing the juvenile Pureblood Dragon Species at the Roaring Waterfall, almost equivalent to the yield of two Divine Relics.

Pei Xiao'en, who had come to the scene to watch the battle, truly witnessed Xue Jing's strength this time. Such superhuman power and ability deeply shocked him and made him understand why Xue Jing was so highly regarded by The Sixth Agency.

With the death of the Heavenly Lodge Insect Mother, the great hidden danger of Qingcheng was completely resolved, and Pei Xiao'en thanked Xue Jing profusely. He then promised on behalf of the government that the reward for this mission would be delivered to Xue Jing as soon as possible.

Time then moved to January 23.

At noon that day, Xue Jing sat in the waiting hall of the Qingcheng port, awaiting his sister Xue Wan, who was returning for the winter break, while browsing his phone.

After a period of silence, the buzz he had stirred up at the Maple City qualifier had gradually died down, as netizens only have a seven-day memory.

However, a fan-made 'Cherry Full Moon' effect video on a bullet-screen website had consistently been racking up views and was nearing thirty million plays.

Xue Jing turned to look at Zong Shichan, who was sitting beside him, engrossed in watching 'Cherry Full Moon' on her phone.

The screen was frozen on the scene where Xue Jing had just finished his move, showing half of his face in profile against the camera. Set against the background of the Silver Cherry Blossom and Full Moon, his silver-white eyes looked indifferent and scornful like those of a deity. Xue Jing had to admit he found his own image on screen quite dashing for a moment.

Yet he let out a sigh, "…How many times have you watched this that you're not sick of it yet?"

Zong Shichan pressed the replay button on her phone with contentment, "Master, no matter how many times I watch, I never get tired of it~" Find more adventures on empire

Xue Jing tilted his head, "I'm right here beside you, though."

Zong Shichan put away her phone and said with a smile, "Don't be jealous of yourself, Master. I really like you in person too."

Xue Jing chuckled and raised an eyebrow, "What does a kid like you know about jealousy... Why use the word 'also'?"

Zong Shichan waggled her finger, then crossed her arms and said seriously, "The Master in person is the Master in person, and the idol Master is the idol Master; they must be distinguished."

"Hmm? What's the difference?" Xue Jing was puzzled.

```

Zong Shichan shook her head in self-pride and sighed, "Master, you really don't understand the joy of idolizing someone. The so-called 'idol' is just an illusion that exists in one's own heart. Chasing this illusion can bring happiness and joy, even if you know it is not real."

With her hands cupping her face, she dreamily said, "Just like the 'Idol Master' in my heart, he's strong and gentle, and his favorite thing is his little apprentice. His affection level for the little apprentice is 530,000 points, and every time he sees the little apprentice, he has to hug and kiss her three times.

He can't fall asleep without holding the little apprentice at night, and if the little apprentice dies, he would transform into a Demon King bent on destroying the world. Chan'er, I want to create a world with you in it... hehe, hehehehe."

As she spoke, the little girl let out a strange laugh, her saliva nearly dripping.

"530,000 points... Is your 'Idol Master' the first form of Frieza?" Xue Jing mocked.

"Hehe~" Zong Shichan giggled and hugged Xue Jing, burying her head in his chest, intoxicated, "Although 'Idol Master' is good, 'Master himself,' not acting at all according to my wishes, has its own charm. I like both equally!"

Xue Jing touched his chin, "Hm? Have I been reverse harem'd?"

He felt an urge to punch the little carrot head, worried that she might actually enjoy it. seaʀᴄh thё NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

...

The sound of a ship's horn resounded, shaking the dock and startling a flock of seagulls into a squawking frenzy in the sky.

A huge cruise ship slowly docked, lowering several gangways.

In the noticeably cooler weather, Xue Wan, dressed for the heat and showing off her long white legs, with sunglasses and a sun hat as if she was heading to a Hawaiian beach, entered the waiting hall.

Possibly due to a mysterious sense of blood kinship, she noticed Xue Jing, who had camouflaged his presence and diminished his sense of existence, with just one look.

"Jing!"

She waved her hand excitedly and ran toward Xue Jing, leaping onto him.

Xue Jing caught her in his arms to prevent her from falling and said helplessly, "Are you a child?"

With righteous indignation, Xue Wan retorted, "What, is there a law against hugging your own brother? You sure are nosy!"

Xue Jing: "..."

Beside them, Zong Shichan looked on in shock at this scene.

She'd never seen anyone make her Master lose face upon just meeting them. Who on earth was this woman?

"Hm? Where did this little bean sprout come from?"

Xue Wan had also noticed the petite and pretty little girl standing beside them and asked curiously.

"My new apprentice, Zong Shichan," Xue Jing introduced casually.

Then pointing at Xue Wan, he said to Zong Shichan, "This is my sister, Xue Wan."

"Apprentice!?"

"Sister!?"

Both girls' eyes lit up at the same time.

Xue Wan bent down slightly and tenderly touched Zong Shichan's face, saying happily, "Wow, the little girl is really pretty."

She took off her sunglasses, revealing a beautiful face very similar to Xue Jing's.

Upon seeing this, Zong Shichan was immediately delighted.

This is... a substitute for Master!

She quickly hugged Xue Wan, her delicate and cute face showing a sweet smile, and said, "Sister is so pretty, I like you!"
