I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Xue Jing carried the woman in the black robe, jumping across buildings with great speed, no slower than a car.

Not only did he disregard terrain restrictions, but he also advanced in a straight line toward the hotel, and therefore, quickly returned to the hotel.

Carrying the woman, he walked right through the hotel's main entrance, a move that should have been very conspicuous, but because he wore "unremarkable glasses," his presence was less noticeable, and while people around gave him a second glance, he did not attract much attention.

He made his way to the elevator, rode it to his own room's floor, took out his key card, and opened the door.

Upon entering, Xue Jing tossed the woman in the black robe onto the couch in the living room, then removed his glasses.

In an instant, an overwhelmingly strong presence burst forth… but aside from a passed-out woman, there was no one else in the room.

Making his way to the gym, Xue Jing searched around and found two jumping ropes in the cabinet, made of wire coated with soft plastic, very sturdy.

Returning to the living room, he lifted the woman in the black robe and seated her on a wooden chair for one.

Then he picked up a steel wire rope and tied her upper body to the chair, then took another one and tied her legs to the legs of the chair.

"This will do for now."

Xue Jing clapped his hands, and seeing that the woman in the black robe showed no signs of waking up soon, he grew somewhat impatient.

Feeling itchy inside, he longed to try his new skill.

He looked around and found a pot of spider plants on the living room TV cabinet.

Xue Jing's eyes brightened, he walked over, and reached out to touch the long, sword-like linear leaves.

At the same time, following his instincts, he activated his new Divine Skill – Plant Pact.

Instantly, a coin-sized circular complex pattern appeared on the leaf of the spider plant that his fingers touched, resembling a tiny magic circle.

Pact successful.

Xue Jing immediately had a feeling in his heart.

The spider plant in front of him seemed to become an extension of his own body, as he could control it like he would his limbs.

And indeed, as he willed it, the spider plant in front of him transformed at once.

The previously curving dozens of slender leaves suddenly stood erect, resembling a hedgehog.

"Interesting."

Xue Jing smiled and continued to control the spider plant.

One of the slender leaves suddenly began to grow wildly, stretching from a few centimeters to three to four meters in a short time, and showed no sign of stopping.

"It can proliferate and grow... So, what about this?"

The three to four meter-long spider plant leaf suddenly stiffened, the soft blade instantly tensing up, a faint sheen appearing on the surface, giving it a hard, sharp quality, like a real sword.

Xue Jing flicked his finger towards the leaf.

"Thunk—"

The sensation from his fingertip was not of a leaf but like he had touched steel, yet the sound it emitted was dull, not metallic.

"Changing properties works too…"

Xue Jing stretched out his hand and pointed at a wooden chair nearby: "Go."

The sword-like leaf immediately made a swift slash towards the chair.

"Swoosh—"

The leaf edge swept past, and the chair was cut cleanly through, its surface extremely smooth, illustrating the sharpness of the leaf.

Xue Jing pinched his chin: "Hmm... not bad."

After thinking for a bit, he pointed at the black-robed woman tied to the wooden chair nearby.

"Blue Silver Entwining!"

Suddenly, five to six spider plant leaves began to grow frantically, elongating and moving towards the black-robed woman, tightly binding her hands, feet, and torso, and wrapping her up like a dumpling.

Because they were bound so tight, outlining her exquisite figure as if she were wearing a rather special piece of fetish wear.

Xue Jing, however, was not concerned with this as he waved his hand to relax the spider plant's grip before continuing to experiment.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Xue Jing stopped.

He discovered that this skill, Plant Pact... seemed to have no cost.

Having controlled the Spider Plant for so long, the skill did not weaken in the slightest and remained vigorous, as if it could be used forever.

"No, that's not right."

He had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"It's not that there isn't any consumption; it's just that the consumption is different from other skills."

"The key to Plant Pact lies in the contract."

"The act of making a contract is where the consumption of Plant Pact occurs."

Xue Jing opened the panel and looked at the Divine Skill slot.

The golden words "Plant Pact" were somewhat dim, which is comparable to the 'Blue Bar'. The dim color indicated that there was consumption.

"The only consumption is in the 'contract' itself... which means, once I have control over a plant after completing its contract, there's no consumption, and it can be used unlimitedly!"

Xue Jing's eyes flickered.

"Interesting... In that case, as long as I wait for Plant Pact to cool down a bit, I can continue to contract other plants, and keep doing so endlessly. Wouldn't that mean I could control an unlimited army of plants?"

"Wouldn't that make me invincible?"

"No, that can't be right, it should have some limitations, it's only Lv1, how could it be so powerful."

"Plus... with this level of strength, no matter how many plants I have, it'd be difficult to call myself invincible."

Xue Jing continued to control the growth and multiplication of the Spider Plant, its leaves stretching out further and further.

But after about ten meters, it stalled and couldn't grow any further.

"Is it a limitation of the plant itself, or is it because the Plant Pact skill level isn't high enough?"

With a chop of his hand, Xue Jing cut through the Spider Plant's leaves.

"The highest hardness it can transform to is mediocre at best."

"After all, it is Lv1, it's not fair to expect too much, I'll see how it goes after the skill levels up."

"One day, I will have Susanoo in my left hand, and Descend of the Tree Realm in my right..."

Xue Jing curled his fingers, and all the leaves on the Spider Plant instantly began to curl up, reversing their growth and gradually shrinking, as if the rewind button had been pressed.

Soon, a potted Spider Plant had disappeared, leaving only a small seed on the spot.

Xue Jing picked up the seed and held it in his palm.

Upon close inspection, there was a circular pattern on the seed, resembling a magic circle.

Xue Jing put the seed into his pocket, walked over to the nightstand, picked up the phone, and pressed for room service.

"Good evening, sir, how may I assist you?" came the sweet voice from the receiver.

Xue Jing said, "Please send up some food..."

...

Qin groggily opened her... opened her one eye.

The signal from her brain was to go on strike, the dizziness making her feel nauseous.

What was I... doing again?

She thought, confused.

Then, memories slowly trickled in like the tide.

Persuasion... battle... Dark Flame... giants... Moonlight...

The last thing she remembered was the bespectacled young man frowning and slapping her.

Qin blinked her remaining eye, and the scene in front of her became clear.

The handsome young man, who had taken off his glasses, sat on the sofa in front of her, holding a bowl and eating.

Seeing her wake up, Xue Jing swallowed his food and said with a smile:

"You're awake? The surgery was very successful..."

...
