I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow, "A Divine Relic within the top three hundred?"

The sequence number of Divine Relics, those ranked three hundred and beyond, simply represent the order in which they appeared and are not related to the specific strength of their abilities.

However, those within the top three hundred are sorted by the strength of their abilities and their hierarchical relations. The closer to the top a Divine Relic is, the stronger its ability and the higher its rank.

Even those Divine Relics that are ranked at the lower end of the top three hundred are at a completely different level compared to those outside the top three hundred.

Ning Yuantai nodded and said, "Indeed, he possesses [GOD-205·Giant God's Left Arm] and [GOD-206·Giant God's Right Arm]."

"These are two very special Divine Relics, not only are they rare 'direct combat types,' but they are also part of a 'Divine Relic Set'..."

"The effect is that, once equipped, they can extract the wearer's physical strength, spiritual power, and life force to form golden energy limbs, like [Giant God's Left Arm], which forms a golden energy left arm. The stronger the user, the larger the arm formed."

"If one also gathers [GOD-203·Giant God's Skull], [GOD-204·Giant God's Torso], [GOD-207·Giant God's Left Leg], and [GOD-208·Giant God's Right Leg], and successfully wears them together, these six Divine Relics will merge into one, transforming into [GOD-035·Giant God Machina]."

Xue Jing couldn't help but comment, "Who is this dark sorcerer?"

Ning Yuantai continued, "This thing places a huge burden on the user. Each piece is rated above danger level B. Managing one piece itself is remarkable. However, the leader of the Titan God Brigade can wear two pieces simultaneously, boasting significant combat prowess. It is said that he once single-handedly subdued a Flame Habitat Species of danger level 7 named 'Hellfire Ghost.'"

Xue Jing stroked his chin, "Oh? That strong, huh?"

Danger level 7 means it's roughly 32 times stronger than level 6.

The young Pureblood Dragon Species he had killed at Roaring Waterfall was about danger level 6, though he didn't know the exact decimal.

His victory was more a matter of exploiting weaknesses. The Pureblood Dragon Species had been significantly weakened by the Serpent Slayer Spearhead, its core abilities had been incapacitated, and its Dragon Thunder had been suppressed by his 'Plant Pact.'

The true strength of a creature capable of supersonic flight in its prime wasn't fully understood by Xue Jing.

But he could roughly feel that, even with his significantly enhanced current strength, if he were to fight an unweakened Pureblood Dragon Species, he probably wouldn't win, although it's not completely impossible.

If the leader of the Titan God Brigade could solo a level 7 creature... his strength was truly extraordinary.

Yuan City really lived up to its reputation as an Inner Ring City, where even a random scuffle could draw out someone immensely powerful.

"Hey, an Inch Dragon III-type Levitating Sword. These hunter groups are really wealthy, huh? The gear they carry isn't bad."

Ning Yuantai pulled a palm-sized, handleless black blade from the shady man's body and nodded.

He stood up, handed the blade to Xue Jing, and said, "Xue, your spoils of war... Although you might not find much use for this, it's still a decent toy."

Xue Jing took it, briefly examined it, couldn't make much of it, and then slipped it into his pocket, saying,

"Let's go, let's head to the base... Oh," he turned to look at Yin Muhu, "could I bring my friend along for a visit too?"

Ning Yuantai: "According to the rules, we shouldn't... but the commander instructed us to fulfill your not too excessive requests if possible. So, this should be fine."

Xue Jing nodded and said to Yin Muhu, "Shady Girl, what do you think? Come with me, let's talk and catch up."

Although she didn't know what the 'base' was, Yin Muhu trusted Xue Jing wouldn't harm her, and having just received his aid, it wasn't a good time to refuse. So, she nodded, showing her agreement.

The group quickly left the area, leaving behind several Titan God Brigade members lying around and Qiao Ying squatting on the ground, staring at Xue Jing's retreating figure for a long time, unable to snap out of it.

...

Using a Dragon Core Fighter as transportation meant their speed was extremely fast. Not long after, the plane moved from district C6 to Zhi Ge Sub Base located in district B3.

The base occupied a fairly large area, approximately square-shaped, enclosed by nearly five-meter-high walls, featuring several strongly-built steel gates.

From the air, Xue Jing calculated the size of the entire base to be around thirty thousand square meters. The arrangement of buildings and facilities inside was quite ingenious, exuding a simple beauty of high utilization.

The plane slowly landed on the ground, and the cabin door opened as Xue Jing and his companions stepped out.

A middle-aged man dressed in a dark blue tactical suit was already waiting outside. As soon as he saw Ning Yuantai, he smiled and said,

"Ning, long time no see."

Ning Yuantai, dissatisfied, said, "Old Xu, I've told you not to call me Ning. I've reached this point today all on my own; it has nothing to do with my family."

The middle-aged man didn't respond but turned his sparkling eyes toward Xue Jing:

"So this must be Xue Jing, right?"

He extended his hand, saying,

"I am the chief of Zhi Ge Sub Base B3 in Yuan City, Xu Hongzhong,"

Xue Jing shook hands with him and smiled, "Chief Xu."

Ning Yuantai added by the side, "You can just call him Old Xu."

Xu Hongzhong also smiled, "Yes, just call me Old Xu, it sounds more cordial."

After some more small talk, Ning Yuantai waved his hand towards Xu Hongzhong:

"Alright, Old Xu, you better hurry on with your tasks, I'll take Xue around for a tour."

Upon hearing this, Xu Hongzhong nodded at Xue Jing and Yin Muhu, smiled, and said, "Since Ning has spoken, I'll take my leave."

Then he arranged for a base member to help Xue Jing with his suitcase before quickly taking his leave.

"Let's go, Xue, I'll take you around to experience some high-tech that you won't find in the Outer Ring!"

Ning Yuantai said, brimming with interest.

Xue Jing had no objections, bringing along Miao Miao, who was perched on his shoulder, and Yin Muhu, they followed behind Ning Yuantai.

Soon after, they entered a large building.

On the way, Xue Jing remarked, "That Chief Xu we met earlier seemed quite strong."

Ning Yuantai was a bit surprised, "Oh? You noticed?"

"He's famously discreet, never showing a hint of his aura. On a normal day, he just looks like an ordinary middle-aged uncle, but in reality..."

"He's a Limit-Breaking Grandmaster from the New Martial Sect who has crossed the Dragon Gate!"

Xue Jing raised his eyebrows.

He had vaguely sensed Chief Xu Hongzhong's strength, but he did not expect him to be a Limit-Breaking Grandmaster!

Aside from artificial inferior products like Jiao Hongyuan who had achieved breakthroughs, he had never encountered a breakthrough master in the Outer Ring before.

He sighed in his heart once again, Inner Ring truly was different.

"Here we are, this is the place,"

Ning Yuantai led Xue Jing and Yin Muhu, pushing open a set of transparent double doors, and entered a rather spacious laboratory.

Xue Jing looked up to see the laboratory filled with various equipment and facilities he couldn't understand; dozens of personnel in white lab coats were bustling around.

"Xue, look at this,"

Ning Yuantai pointed to a small compartment that resembled a transparent shower area and said.

"This is a 'Physical Power Testing Machine,' a device that can precisely measure Physical Power Levels, with an error margin not exceeding 0.001 levels, the most accurate currently available on the market."

He then pointed to a circular platform not far away, above which was magically fixed a pale blue spherical water membrane about three meters in diameter.

"And this 'Spiritual Power Testing Machine,' is used for measuring spiritual levels."

"Generally, by testing at these two spots, one can roughly determine what a person's specific combat strength number is. What do you think, Xue, want to give it a try?"

Ning Yuantai raised his eyebrows.

Combat strength number, huh...

Xue Jing looked at the two devices.

He really didn't know what his current combat strength was like, and he was quite interested in finding out.

After thinking it over, he nodded and smiled, "Sure, let's give it a try."
