Chapter 952 Kickback, surprise (7k, please vote at the end of the month)
"Hinata, the teacher is really happy that you have made such a change. It seems that I don't have to worry about you at all. If you have time, come to the Kingdom of Ingrassia to see the teacher and the children more often. Then, goodbye
Already..."
Time flew by unknowingly. When the sun set in the west and dusk was approaching, Izawa Shizue left these words to say goodbye to Hinata.
Hinata watched her leave, saying in her heart that she was not a good student. It was not until she learned about your death, teacher, that she began to reflect. It was not until she opened her heart with you today that she came out of the past.
"Goodbye, Teacher Jing." She said, "I will take good care of the children."
Jing's steps stopped for a moment, and she turned around. She didn't say that she was here and that Hinata didn't need to worry too much, nor did she say anything about leaving everything to you. She just smiled slightly, leaving Hinata with her back.
"I'm not sad. I was still uncertain at first, but now I'm sure that Teacher Jing should be smiling when he chooses to be devoured by Rimuru." It wasn't until Jing's back disappeared that Hinata turned to her side and said:
"She found the destination she wanted, but I still have to thank you, Ji Xing, for I understand what I want."
Not sad? Not sad that there is a ghost. Ji Xing, who returned to her, looked at the girl's cold face and smiled. Although he had gained a lot, his character was still arrogant and not frank.
"You're welcome, let's go back."
"good……?!"
At the moment of answering, the calmness on the cold girl's face was replaced by shock, and she looked at the figure appearing behind Ji Xing in disbelief.
"Lu, Luminas-sama?! What... happened to you?!"
"Go back? Go back to where? Hinata, do you know this man?! You betrayed me?!" Luminas's voice was sharp and angry, and her tone even sounded like she had lost her mind.
"No, I...you..."
Hinata realized that Luminas probably didn't know Ji Xing at this point in time, but what happened now?
Luminas's beautiful silver-gray hair was as if it had been struck by lightning, and the roots stood up, making it more messy than a chicken coop. The originally gorgeous Night Demon Queen's dress was also torn like rags, exposing a large area.
A large area of snow-white skin stained with gray, and even one of the fangs representing the vampire was broken!
A very rude description flashed through Hinata's mind for a moment. It was like someone who had been insulted... No, no, no, the only person who could make Luminas-sama so embarrassed was...
She looked at Ji Xing questioningly, and then she realized that Ji Xing's face was also a little pale, and felt strange again. It wasn't that she looked down on Luminas, but compared to the dragon species, there was still a huge gap between Luminas.
Even after the battle with the Burning Flame Dragon, Ji Xing didn't show any signs of weakness. Why does he appear to be exhausted now?
"Human! Don't run!" Ruminas, who seemed to have gone crazy, no longer cared about Hinata and shouted angrily: "Human! Do you dare to do it again? This time I will definitely suck you dry!"
Huh? Wait, wait...
Hinata was shocked and wanted to ask, but she saw that Ji Xing had already waved her arm and took her away from this world, leaving Luminas burning with anger.
Because the distortion of time by Master Ke Xue on the main timeline has not been canceled yet, this if timeline did not break so quickly. Luminas looked at the empty field ridge, with completely unresponsive perception, and screamed like crazy:
"Absolutely, absolutely I can't spare you!... Ji Xing!!"
She got Ji Xing's name from Hinata's title and carved it into her bones and blood.
God knows what she went through this day.
At the beginning, she, Roy and Rey besieged Ji Xing. Roy and Rey were killed by Ji Xing again and again and resurrected by her. Ji Xing even gave her a 'skill' that she could see.
Ji Xing was using her to practice moves with his subordinates.
At this time, her anger level was already at its peak, and what happened next made her even angrier.
In order to reverse the defeat, she hinted that Roy and Rey would merge, or return to their 'original form'.
Well, the twin brothers were originally the same person, an extremely cruel original vampire. After being subdued by her, the powerful power was still difficult to control, so she used the authority and skills of the vampire ancestor to split them in two.
After merging together, Rey possessed a powerful force second only to hers, launched a sneak attack, and received surprising feedback.
Ji Xing was knocked to the ground directly and her body was locked by her, so she frantically absorbed Ji Xing's energy, thinking that she had a chance to win, until her energy was fully restored, and Ji Xing slapped her on her body
She was thrown away.
Only then did she realize that the bastard had deliberately exposed his flaws in order to let her absorb some energy and restore her physical strength so that she could continue the fight and continue to practice with them.
In this day, the same thing happened five times! What a shame!
Of course, Luminas is not stupid. After discovering that Ji Xing is so 'entrusting', she also has a secret plan. She is ready to wait for the opportunity to use 'Storm Inhalation' to directly take away Ji Xing's time, and then teach him a lesson.
This bastard!
But it was the sixth time that Ji Xing was thrown to the ground by her. She felt that the time was right and bit Ji Xing's neck fiercely. Ji Xing's skin suddenly became harder than anything else. She, the ancestor of vampires, unexpectedly
A tooth was knocked out?!
So she appeared in front of Hinata and became what she is now, filled with rage that almost burned the world and everything.
This emotion also reached its peak when Ji Xing and Hinata were nowhere to be seen, pushing her soul to transform, and the voice of the world sounded in her mind.
"Confirmation completed. Conditions met. Unique skill 'Lust' evolves into ultimate skill 'King of Lust Asmontai'!"
The furious Luminas didn't pay attention.
…
In the main timeline, Luminas, who went to the tomb to chat with Chronoa, suddenly felt an unreasonable anger in her heart.
She was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked around, and murmured in confusion: "What's going on? Why did my mood suddenly become so bad? I just found out your true identity and saw you as a child, so cute...
"
After thinking about it and having no clue, she shook her head and said: "Maybe she remembered the time when the palace was blown away by the evil dragon. Damn the evil dragon, next time I see him, I must suck him dry!"
Far away in the Monster Federation, Veldora, who was happily supervising the construction of the labyrinth, sneezed.
On the other side, on the field ridge.
"Sister Hinata, are you awake?"
Five children gathered around and asked, and Hinata confirmed her return.
"Sister Hinata, we harvested a lot of rice. Uncle Leonard said the five of us are almost as good as an army of 100!"
"Sister Hinata, are you tired from preparing for the Paladin selection recently? Why did you fall asleep?"
There are children who claim credit, and there are children who care.
Am I sleeping here? It's more like a dream, but... Hinata checked her own condition and quickly discovered something that proved true - the Hero's Egg!
She still has some qualifications as a brave person and has completed a training in different time and space. Such skills are exaggerated, but now she is more concerned about another thing and quickly looks at Ji Xing.
Ji Xing made a shushing gesture: "We had a spar, don't tell her."
Hinata was silent, yes, she guessed so.
The five children looked surprised.
What kind of riddle is this?
"Who is Teacher Ji Xing sparring with?"
"No, aren't Teacher Ji Xing and Teacher Hinata here all day?"
"It's so strange...there is a secret..."
Ji Xing smiled and changed the topic of the children: "How are you, are you happy today?"
"happy!"
"I'm just a little tired..."
“Can we eat the rice we harvest?”
"That has to be arranged by your teacher Hinata, but even if you want to eat it, you have to live for a while. The newly harvested rice has to go through several processes such as cleaning and shelling before it can become the rice we usually see." Ji Xing said.
"That's it..."
The children looked at Hinata, who came back to her senses and made arrangements: "Leonard, make arrangements."
"yes!"
"Haha, great!"
"Thank you Uncle Leonard!"
Hinata looked at the children, and was influenced by their happy and innocent smiles, and she understood the greatness of Teacher Jing's care for them. Without Teacher Jing, these children would be miserable, right?
After He Jing's open-hearted conversation, she saw that these children became more friendly, so she stretched out her hand and gently wiped Alice's dirty face. This was an action that she would never do before, and even made Alice
Si was startled, but then happily approached her: "Sister Hinata, is my face dirty?"
"One thing." Hinata said, "I'll take you back. You have to clean yourself up. You are great. I didn't expect you to be able to complete the first level of Paladin selection at your age."
She knew that what supported the children was more their interest, the novelty they had never seen before, and their 'fairy'-like physical fitness and strength, rather than the patience and perseverance of ordinary people.
But she still praised: "What do you want to eat tonight? I will take you there!"
"Really?"
"Is anything okay?"
"I want to eat sukiyaki!"
"No, I want to eat tempura..."
"The eel rice is better."
Uh, are these foods from before time travel? Or rather, they are foods that were reproduced by Rimuru.
Hinata was a little embarrassed, and Ji Xing spoke at the right time: "Don't you always get those things in the Demon Kingdom Federation? When you come to the Holy Kingdom of France, you naturally want to eat the specialties of the Holy Kingdom of France.
Just eat the meals that the Paladins eat. Now that you are here, how about you all experience everything about the Paladins for three days? If you behave well these three days, I will give you a surprise when you leave the Holy Kingdom of France.
oh."
"……surprise?"
"Is it a skill?!"
The children were full of expectations, Ji Xing smiled and said nothing, but Chloe's little face wrinkled slightly. She was so happy on this day that she almost forgot about an important event.
"Three days in a row? What day is tomorrow, Teacher Ji Xing?" she asked.
The other children looked at her in surprise: "Chloe, are you tired? Today is August 9th, and tomorrow is of course August 10th!"
Chloe: "...What about the day after tomorrow?"
"August 11th!" Alice put her hand on Chloe's forehead in a daze. Did she have a fever?
Chloe was silent and continued to ask: "What about after August 11th?"
"Of course it's June 7th! Three days later it's the founding ceremony of Rimuru-sensei's kingdom! Chloe, what's wrong with you?"
Chloe turned around and looked at her unsuspecting friends and even Hinata, silent.
Forget it, just go back.
…
In the next two days, the children continued to experience the Paladin selection assessment and the daily life of the Paladins, and had a lot of fun.
Ji Xing also had a great time.
During the two chaotic days, he continued to activate the power of Ke Xue's master and opened two more branch timelines. This time he did not bring Hinata, so the number of monsters he gained experience from was changed from three to four.
Ruminas, Roy, Rey and Hinata Sakaguchi gave Ji Xing more feedback than the first day. The three days accumulated were almost as much as Ji Xing’s accumulation in the first year!
His amount of magic has nearly doubled, and his soul capacity has also been freed up. He has enough power to continue to evolve ultimate skills. The progress of becoming a saint is also close to 100%, and he is about to become as spiritual as a dragon.
living body.
He even wanted to continue brushing, but after all, this was the first time to use Ke Xue's power. The test area was only the Holy Kingdom of France and its surroundings, while other places were not affected by the skill. Ji Xing currently did not have the ability to make the entire world Ke Xue.
He was worried about the additional impact of having separate 'time zones' in the same world, and he was also worried that little girl Chloe would be completely confused.
So the skill was discontinued as planned.
Although the skill is terminated, some things that have happened will not change back.
The date goes back to June 7th in the Holy Emperor's Era, which is still two months before this year's Paladin candidates, but a large number of those selected in the previous three days have joined the Paladin queue.
Time returned to normal, but no one was confused about the selection of Paladins in the previous three days. This year, the selection of Paladins in Western countries has been added once more without any trace!
But some accidents still happened.
This morning, Ji Xing and Hinata came to say goodbye to Luminas. Well, Hinata was leaving too. Both she and Luminas were invited to the Demonic Federation's founding festival. They wanted to go there one day before that, but now they
Because I was invited by five children, I thought it didn’t matter if I went three days early.
"Please rest assured that I have arranged the next work for the Paladins. I will go to the Demon Kingdom Federation first and wait for your arrival."
Sitting on the gorgeous throne, Luminas lowered her head and did not answer, so the atmosphere gradually became a little weird.
The next moment, Ji Xing keenly caught a trace of malice. He was startled for a moment, then he suddenly realized and clicked his tongue in his heart.
Luminas raised her head with a strange glow in her heterochromatic eyes: "No problem, you go ahead, Hinata. But Ji Xing, are there still some details of our deal that have not been completed?"
As early as three nights ago, she had reached a skills deal with Ji Xing.
She obtained two skills, Rey, Roy, and her butler Gunda, each obtained one, and the reward was "to promote the business legitimacy of skill merchants in Western countries in the name of God."
It sounds a little strange, but to put it simply, Luminas, a god in disguise but very respected in the West, endorses him.
Ordinary people will only regard Ji Xing as a 'god's messenger' and a 'person recognized by God' for this reason, which is one level lower than Luminas, but it doesn't matter. They will give part of their reverence to the god Luminas.
Ji Xing, it is enough for Ji Xing to get all the starlight of an ordinary person, help him light up the fifth star.
"Details? You mean..." Ji Xing asked confusedly, pretending to understand.
"Of course it's the missing skill! Do you want me to remind you one by one? Roy's 'Glory of the Dead'! Rey's 'Cell Splitting'! Or the skill that increases my magic power!"
Ji Xing laughed: "Do you want it?"
"I want you to die!" Luminas became furious, teleporting and throwing Ji Xing down, frantically absorbing his energy, baring her fangs, but suddenly stopped before biting Ji Xing's neck.
.
Hinata was stunned.
This scene felt vaguely familiar to her, but it seemed like she had never seen it before. What happened?
"Ultimate skills can be immune to some of the effects of my skills. The stronger the immunity, the deeper the immunity. It turns out that there are no ultimate skills originally. Awakening ultimate skills in the branch world will also affect the main world. Please pay attention to this in the future."
Ji Xing said: "Luminas, did you completely sort out everything after yesterday?"
"...It's a shame that you still have the nerve to ask me calmly!" Luminas said angrily: "I was still scolding the evil dragon two days ago! I didn't expect you to have such weird skills!"
"Well, if the same scene is repeated many times, can it speed up the progress of the main world's 'awakening'?" Ji Xing thought thoughtfully: "No, what's more important is that the object in the main world has awakened its ultimate skill?"
The voice of the world echoed, and Luminas in the main world was promoted to the King of Lust because of her accumulated anger.
She paused and gritted her teeth: "It seems that I want to thank you very much?!"
"You're welcome."
"I...uhhhh?!"
She was about to continue roaring when Ji Xing's arm suddenly hit her mouth. She gave it a try and found it wasn't too hard, so she bit hard.
The sharp vampire teeth pierced Ji Xing's arm fiercely, and the blood was sucked by her. She finally got her wish and took a violent breath. Soon her eyes widened, and she was filled with brilliance.
She discovered that Ji Xing's blood was damn sweet, better than any blood she had ever sucked, and even this energy... was permanently increasing her strength and magic?!
Before she could taste the details, Ji Xing's arm took away her mouth again, carrying her and throwing her back to the seat. With a twist and turn, Luminas' anger dissipated a lot, and she sat on the seat.
He licked his lips with obvious contentment.
"you……"
"Dragon blood, pure dragon blood."
It turns out it tastes like dragon blood?! Luminas clenched her fists, no, the evil dragon’s blood is not that fragrant, this guy is more dragon than dragon!
If only I could drink more...
"50ml each time. Giving you blood of this quality will permanently deplete my power."
"100ml!"
"About 80."
"make a deal!"
Hinata stared blankly at the two men completing a dirty transaction in front of them, not yet understanding what happened.
Ruminas added: "The skill you used will not affect the concubine itself, right? Don't go too far with the false concubine."
She sold herself in the branch timeline without any care and chose to get the power kickback from Ji Xing. And Luminas, who has the ability to control life and death, is indeed the best place to spawn monsters. Ji Xing is also happy to relax.
Make a deal with her.
Even if you get ten pieces of power at once, giving one to Luminas won't affect you too much.
Oh, Hinata's ultimate skill seems to be awakening soon, let's discuss it then.
He turned around and said, "Let's go."
Hinata: "...Hmm."
Luminas watched the two of them disappear, then licked the blood droplets from the corner of her mouth, savoring it carefully.
"This guy has become stronger. If he could only defeat the Scorching Flame Dragon before, which was almost the same as Qi Yi, Milim and the others, now he might be the strongest in the world... What a monster. Each one has better skills than the other.
Be reasonable."
…
Outside the small town of Rimuru in the Demonic Federation, at the edge of the Ji Xing and Burning Flame Dragon Battlefield Scenic Area.
The teleported light expanded, and Ji Xing and Hinata arrived here with their five children.
The five children were still somewhat reluctant to leave the Holy Kingdom of France, and of course they were also happy to go home. Looking around, they were startled.
"Teacher Ji Xing, why don't we just go back to the town?"
Hinata was also a little puzzled, while Ji Xing smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? I said that if you perform well during the three days of Paladin selection, I will give you a surprise."
The children looked at each other and pursed their lips.
"Of course I remember!"
"But shouldn't surprises happen suddenly? How can you specifically call people aside and tell them, 'I want to give you a surprise'?"
"That's right. Fortunately, we discussed it for a long time last night and pretended to have forgotten it! Teacher Ji Xing has no sense of ceremony at all!"
He was also disliked. Ji Xing shook his head in amusement: "Then don't jump up next time."
The five children looked straight.
They said they were disgusted, but in fact they were full of expectations in their hearts. Five pairs of big eyes stared at Ji Xing, guessing the type of surprise.
The next moment, they felt a strong magic glow emanating from Ji Xing's body, and a slight sense of oppression appeared on the peaceful Ji Xing.
Hinata's pupils changed slightly, this is...
"Confirmation completed. Conditions met. The unique skill 'Heroic Soul Master' evolves into the ultimate skill 'King of Soul Control Hayakawa Tatexei'!"
"Confirmation completed. Conditions met. The unique skill 'Soul Buryer' evolves into the ultimate skill 'God of Death Yono Mashi'!"
With sufficient soul energy, Ji Xing cultivated two unique skills together, allowing them to enter the ranks of ultimate skills.
In this way, seven skills accumulated in Ji Xing's thirteen worlds have become ultimate skills, exceeding the remaining number of unique skills!
And his gains this time are barely enough to evolve another weak ultimate skill, but don't worry, wait until you need it.
The acquisition of two soul-related ultimate skills made the world different in Ji Xing's eyes. When he looked at the battlefield between himself and the Burning Flame Dragon, he saw many shadows that he could not see before.
It was a fire-attributed monster being born under the influence of their leftover magic. The body had not yet taken shape, but the soul had begun to take shape.
The power of the God of Death gave Ji Xing the power to accurately reincarnate the soul, purify the soul, and directly attack the soul. It even allowed him to reach into the 'underworld' and salvage the last trace of the true spirit of the soul that had long since naturally dissipated.
The power of the King of Souls allows Ji Xing to capture the long river of history, track down the remembered "heroic spirits" in it, and summon them to fight.
Not only the past history, but even the future history after a certain period of time! It also has the attribute of time, which unexpectedly strengthened the master of Ke Xue, which was an unexpected surprise.
He realized it for half a minute, then lowered his head and saw the children's staring eyes.
"...Teacher Ji Xing, where is the surprise?"
Ji Xing smiled: "The surprise is that teacher, I have become stronger again! Are you surprised?"
"..."
Chloe rolled her eyes, Alice pouted, and her sword jumped up.
"No, no, no! This is too shameless, I want to tell Rimuru-sensei!"
"Okay, okay, here comes the surprise."
Ji Xing stretched out his hand to fish in the long river of time and space, and swam upstream to catch a 'heroic spirit'. The two ultimate skills worked at the same time. The summoned hero was not a shadow that could only fight for him briefly, but contained a hidden power.
The soul life form of the true spirit!
The same situation as Cagalli.
The body of a beautiful, gentle woman with black hair and black eyes quickly took shape.
"Eh...Eh?!"
"Teacher Rimuru? No, it's not..."
There were repeated hisses of surprise, and then there was silence. The children stared at her blankly, their eyes red, their throats twitching, and they swallowed hard.
It's not just the kids.
Hinata's heart was also racing, and she murmured softly: "Teacher Jing? This time...it's not the if timeline anymore...even this kind of thing...?!"
The 'heroic spirit' summoned by Ji Xing was Izawa Shizue. After half a minute of dead silence, Izawa Shizue opened his eyes in slight confusion.
"here it is……"
"Teacher Jing!"
The children's calls interrupted him, Jing paused, and said in surprise: "Kenya? Ryota! Galu! Alice! Chloe?!"
She called out each name accurately, and said with joy and confusion: "You... seem to have grown up a lot. I remember me..."
"Miss Jing." Ji Xing said, "I'm sorry to disturb your sleep. These children miss you very much, and so does Hinata."
"Hinata..." Jing then noticed the 'college student' next to her and wanted to ask Ji Xing why, but was staggered by Alice who threw herself into her arms.
"Teacher Jing! Wuwuwu..."
If one cries, all the children will cry.
They gathered Jing into a ball, and Jing quickly comforted: "You have really grown up, Alice. You have grown taller and heavier, and..."
Ji Xing looked at Hinata: "I can directly give her the different memories in the if timeline, and you can also chat with her again. Maybe we can get more insights?"
Hinata didn't answer, her mind was in confusion. She felt that the past few days with Ji Xing had been more exciting than what she had experienced in the past ten years.
…
An hour later.
"You're back, Ji Xing...the children are okay...Hey, why are your eyes swollen and crying? Why? Um...mirror?"
Rimuru glanced around in confusion, and then found a mirror - a woman who looked exactly like him, so he scratched his head.
Two seconds later, she scratched her head again.
"...Ehhhhhh?!!"
Rimuru jumped up, making Jing smile, and the children laughed loudly, shouting together: "Teacher Rimuru, surprise!"
A surprise is coming in front of you.
It's the end of the month, so I'll give you two monthly passes.
