Chapter 952 Kickback, surprise (7k, asking for monthly pass 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. So, 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 stagnated and she turned around. She didn't say that she didn't need Hinata to worry too much because she was here, nor did she say anything about leaving everything to you. She just smiled slightly and left 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 home she wanted, but I still have to thank you, Ji Xing, for I understand what I want."
Not upset? 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.
"Lo, 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 seemed to have been struck by lightning, with the roots standing upright and messier than a chicken coop. The originally gorgeous dress of the Night Demon Queen was torn like rags, revealing large areas of gray-stained snow-white skin, 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, which felt strange again. It's not that she looks down on Luminas, but compared to the dragon species, Luminas should still have a huge gap. Even Ji Xing didn't show any weakness after fighting the Burning Flame Dragon. Why does he show that he is exhausted now? Big look?
"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 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 bank, with no response at all, 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 tricks 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, Rey had the most powerful power second only to her, launched a sneak attack, and received surprising feedback.
Ji Xing was directly knocked to the ground 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 own energy was fully restored, 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.
During 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. When 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 Lost a tooth? !
So when she appeared in front of Hinata, she 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 disappeared, pushing her soul to transform, and the sound of the world sounded in her mind.
《Confirmed. Conditions met. Unique skill 'Lustful' evolved into the ultimate skill 'Lustful King Asmodeus'! 》
The furious Luminas didn't care.
…
In the main timeline, Luminas, who went to the tomb to stick with Chronoa again, suddenly felt an inexplicable 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 I saw you when you were a child, so cute..."
After thinking about it for a long time, she shook her head and said, "Maybe I remembered the palace being blown away by the evil dragon. Damn evil dragon, next time I see it, I must suck it dry!"
Far away in the Monster Federation, Veldora, who was excitedly supervising the construction of the maze, sneezed.
On the other side, on the ridge of the field
"Sister Hinata, are you awake?"
Five children surrounded her and asked, and Hinata confirmed her return.
"Sister Hinata, we harvested a lot of rice, Uncle Reynard said that the five of us are almost comparable to a hundred-man team!"
"Sister Hinata, are you tired from preparing for the Paladin selection recently? Why did you fall asleep?"
Some children are asking for credit, and some children are concerned.
Am I sleeping here? It's more like a dream, but...Hinata checked her own condition and soon found something that was enough to prove the truth - the egg of the hero!
She still has some qualifications of a hero, and she completed a training in a different time and space. Such skills can be called exaggerated, but she is more concerned about another thing now, and quickly looks at Ji Xing.
Ji Xing made a shushing gesture: "We had a sparring match, don't tell her."
Hinata was silent, well, she guessed so.
The five children looked surprised.
What kind of riddle is this?
"Who is Teacher Jixing sparring with?"
"No, aren't Teacher Jixing and Teacher Hinata here all day?"
"How strange... there's a secret..."
Jixing smiled and changed the topic of the children: "How are you, are you happy today?"
"Happy!"
"Just a little tired..."
"Can we eat the rice we harvested?"
"That's up to your teacher Hinata to arrange it, but even if we want to eat it, it will take some time. The newly harvested rice has to go through several processes such as cleaning and shelling before it can become the rice we usually see." Jixing said.
"Is that so..."
The children looked at Hinata, who came back to his senses and made arrangements: "Reynard, make arrangements."
"Yes!"
"Haha, great!"
"Thank you Uncle Reynard!"
Hinata looked at the children and was touched by their happy and innocent smiles. He understood more about the greatness of Jing's teaching and caring for them. If there was no teacher Jing, these children would be very miserable, right?
After a heart-to-heart talk with Jing, she felt that the children were more friendly, so she reached out and gently wiped Alice's dirty face. This was an action she would never do before, and even scared Alice, but she immediately came up happily: "Sister Hinata, is my face dirty?"
"A little." Hinata said: "I'll take you back, you need to clean it. You are great, I didn't expect that you can complete the first level of the Paladin selection so well at your age."
She knew that what supported the children was more of interest, the novelty that had never been seen before, and their strong physical fitness and strength like "immortals", rather than the patience and perseverance of ordinary people.
But she still praised: "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll take you there!"
"Really?"
"Anything?"
"I want to eat Sukiyaki!"
"No, I want to eat tempura..."
"Eel rice is better."
Uh, are they all foods before the time travel? Or rather, foods reproduced by Rimuru.
Hinata was a little embarrassed, and Ji Xing said at the right time: "Can't you always eat those things in the Demon Federation? When you come to the Holy Emperor Kingdom, you must eat the specialties of the Holy Emperor Kingdom.
Just eat the meals that the Paladins eat. Since you are here, everyone should experience everything about the Paladins for three days. How about it? If you behave well in these three days, I will give you a surprise when you leave the Holy Emperor Kingdom."
"...Surprise?"
"Is it a skill?!"
The children were full of expectations, and Ji Xing smiled but did not say anything. Only Chloe's face was slightly wrinkled. She was so happy that she almost forgot an important event.
"Three consecutive days? What month and 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. Is she having a fever?
Chloe was silent for a moment, then continued to ask: "What about after August 11th?"
"Of course it's June 7th! Three days later is the founding festival of Rimuru's kingdom! Chloe, what happened to you?"
Chloe turned her head and looked at her unaware companions and even Hinata, and remained silent.
Forget it, as long as we can go back.
...
In the next two days, the children continued to experience the Paladin selection test and the daily life of the Paladin, 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 didn't bring Hinata with him, so the number of monsters he gained experience from was changed from three to four.
Luminas, 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 almost ready to become as spiritual as a dragon. Life form.
He even wanted to continue brushing, but after all, this was the first time to use the power of Ke Xue's dominance. 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 this 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 be changed 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 increased once again!
But some accidents still happened.
This morning, Ji Xing and Hinata came to say goodbye to Luminas. Well, Hinata has to leave too. She and Luminas have both been invited to the Demonic Federation's founding festival. They wanted to go there one day before then, but now because they were invited by five children, they think it doesn't matter to go three days in advance.
"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, it means letting Luminas, a disguised but very respected god in the West, endorse him.
Ordinary people would only regard Ji Xing as a 'god's messenger' and a 'god-approved person' for this reason, which is one level lower than Luminas, but it doesn't matter. They will share part of their reverence for the god Luminas to Ji Xing, which is enough for Ji Xing to get all the starlight of ordinary people, and 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'! It's the skill that increases my magic power!"
Ji Xing laughed: "Do you want it?"
"I want you to die!" Luminas got angry and threw Ji Xing down like a teleport. She frantically absorbed his energy and bared her fangs. But before biting Ji Xing's neck, she suddenly stopped. .
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: "Two days ago, I was still scolding the evil dragon! 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 the 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 properly?!"
"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, and soon her eyes widened with brilliance.
She found 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 savor the details, Ji Xing's arm took away from her mouth again, lifting her and throwing her back to her seat. After a while, Luminas's anger dissipated a lot, and she sat in her seat and licked her lips with a lot of contentment.
"you……"
"Dragon blood, pure dragon blood."
So it tastes like dragon blood? ! Luminas clenched her fists. No, the blood of the evil dragon is not so fragrant. This guy is more dragon-like than a dragon!
If I could drink more...
"50ml each time. Giving you blood of this quality will permanently deplete my strength."
"100ml!"
"80."
"Deal!"
Hinata stared blankly at the two people completing a dirty py deal in front of her, not understanding what happened.
Luminas said again: "The skill you used will not affect my real body, right? Don't be too hard on the fake one."
She sold her own timeline without a care, and chose to get the power rebate from Ji Xing. Luminas, who has the skill of controlling life and death, is indeed the best monster spawning point. Ji Xing is also happy to be free and make a deal with her.
Getting ten powers at a time, giving one to Luminas will not affect too much.
Oh, it seems that Hinata's ultimate skill is about to awaken, so let's discuss it then.
He turned and said, "Let's go."
Hinata: "... Yeah."
Luminas watched the two disappear, and licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, savoring it carefully.
"This guy has become stronger. If he could only defeat the Scorching Dragon before, and was not much different from Guy and Milim, now he might be the strongest in the world... What a monster, his skills are more unreasonable than one another."
...
Outside the town of Rimuru in the Demonic Federation, at the edge of the Jixing and Scorching Dragon battlefield scenic area.
The light of the transmission expanded, and Jixing, Hinata and the five children came here.
The five children still had some reluctance to leave the Holy French Empire, and of course they were happy to go home. Looking around, they were stunned.
"Teacher Jixing, why don't we go back to the town directly?"
Hinata was also a little puzzled, and Jixing smiled and said, "Did you forget? I said that if you perform well in the three days of the Paladin selection, I will give you a surprise."
The children looked at each other and pouted.
"Of course I remember!"
"But shouldn't surprises come suddenly? Why would you call someone aside and tell them 'I'm going to give you a surprise'?"
"That's right, we discussed it for a long time last night, and you still pretended to forget! Teacher Ji Xing has no sense of ceremony at all!"
And he was despised. Ji Xing laughed and shook his head: "Then don't jump up next time."
The five children looked serious.
They said they despised, but in fact they were full of expectations. Five pairs of big eyes stared at Ji Xing, guessing the type of surprise.
The next moment, they only felt a strong glow of magic from Ji Xing, and a little oppression appeared on the peaceful Ji Xing.
Hinata's pupils changed slightly, this is...
《Confirmed. Conditions met. Unique skill 'Heroic Soul Envoy' evolved into the ultimate skill 'King of Souls Hayakawa Rise'! 》
《Confirmed. Conditions met. Unique skill 'Soul Burial' evolved into the ultimate skill 'God of Death Yono Mashi'! 》
Relying on sufficient soul energy, Ji Xing nurtured two unique skills together, allowing them to enter the ranks of ultimate skills.
In this way, seven skills accumulated from Ji Xing's thirteen worlds have become ultimate skills, exceeding the remaining number of unique skills!
And his gains this time can barely evolve another ultimate skill with a weakness, but there is no need to rush, and wait until it is needed.
The acquisition of two ultimate skills related to the soul made the world different in Ji Xing's eyes. He looked at the battlefield between himself and the Burning Dragon and saw many phantoms that he had not seen before.
Those were fire-attributed monsters that were being born under the influence of their remaining magic elements. The body had not yet taken shape, but the soul had already taken 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. He could even let his hand reach into the "underworld" to salvage the last trace of the soul that had naturally dissipated.
The power of the King of Souls allowed Ji Xing to capture the long river of history, pursue the "heroic spirits" remembered in it, and summon them to fight.
Not only the past history, but also the future history after a certain period of time! The same time attribute, unexpectedly strengthened the science master, which was a pleasant surprise.
He felt it for half a minute, and then looked down, and saw the children's eyes.
"... Teacher Ji Xing, where is the surprise?"
Ji Xing smiled: "The surprise is that the teacher has become stronger again! Surprised?"
"..."
Chloe rolled her eyes, Alice pouted, and the sword jumped up more directly.
"No, no! This is too shameless, I will tell Teacher Rimuru!"
"Okay, okay, the surprise is here."
Ji Xing stretched out his hand in the long river of time and space, and caught a 'hero' upstream. With the two ultimate skills working at the same time, the summoned hero is not a phantom that can only fight for him for a short time, but a soul life form containing a wisp of true spirit!
The same state as Cagalli.
The body of a beautiful, gentle, black-haired and black-eyed woman quickly took shape.
"Eh... Eh?!"
"Rimuru-sensei? No, not..."
There were a series of surprised hisses, and then there was silence. The children stared at her in a daze, their eyes slightly red, their throats moving, and they swallowed their saliva with difficulty.
Not only the children.
Hinata's heart was also surging, and she whispered: "Teacher Shizuka? This time... it's not the if timeline anymore... even such a thing...?!"
The ‘hero’ summoned by Ji Xing was Jing Ze Jing Jiang. After half a minute of silence, Jing Ze Jing Jiang opened her eyes slightly confusedly.
“This is…”
“Teacher Jing!”
The children’s calls interrupted her. Jing paused and said in surprise: “Kenya? Ryouta! Garu! Alice! Chloe?!”
She called out each name accurately, and said with joy and confusion: “You… seem to have grown up a lot. I remember I…”
“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 the reason, but was staggered by Alice who threw herself into his arms.
“Teacher Jing! Wuuwuwu…”
One crying made all the children cry.
They surrounded Jing, who quickly comforted him: "You've really grown up, Alice. You've grown taller, and you've gained a lot of weight, and..."
Ji Xing looked at Hinata: "I can give her the different memories of the if timeline directly, and you can talk to her again, maybe you can get more experience?"
Hinata didn't answer, her mind was in turmoil. She felt that the things she experienced in the past few days with Ji Xing were more exciting than the past ten years.
...
An hour later.
"You're back, Ji Xing... The children are all fine... Hey, why are your eyes swollen? Did you cry? Why? Um... mirror?"
Rimuru looked 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.
"...Huh, huh, huh?!!"
Rimuru's jumping made Jing smile, and the children laughed and shouted together: "Teacher Rimuru, surprise!"
The surprise came in front of them.
It's the end of the month, give me two monthly tickets.
