[Physical Strength][Action Speed][Physical Defense].

Xue Jing’s gaze moved back and forth among these three items.

Without a doubt, these three were definitely the biggest boosts to his combat strength at this stage.

The rest, such as [Reaction Speed][Perception Ability][Instinctive Intuition], were also good, but obviously, for now, their effects were not as direct as speed, strength, and defense.

After thinking for a while, Xue Jing first dismissed [Physical Defense].

Having the passive resurrection effect of Twin Lifes, he didn’t need this life-saving ability at the moment. Moreover, as a Stone-throwing Immortal, if he encountered an enemy he couldn’t defeat, he certainly wouldn’t get close to them, so [Physical Defense] was dispensable.

All that was left to choose was between strength and speed…

After thinking it over, Xue Jing chose [Action Speed].

Now, with his skills enhanced, his physical strength was not weak. Coupled with Power, handling human-level physicality was a breeze.

His senior sister, Zhu Shanying, whom Miao Miao once described as ‘much stronger than him,’, had fainted on the spot from his judo throw, although it was because she didn’t use Power for Defense, it still somewhat revealed that martial artists were a bit like glass cannons, high attack, low defense.

Speed was different, however; it was an attribute that was forever scarce and one could never be too fast with.

In the world of martial arts, no defense is impregnable, only speed is unstoppable!

Xue Jing clicked on [Action Speed].

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Instantly, he instinctively understood how to use the active effect of [Twin Lifes] as naturally as breathing.

“Twin Lifes, activate!”

The next moment, Xue Jing was like a video set to fast forward, his action speed suddenly doubled.

He stood up, walked over to the standing punching bag, channeled his Power, and punched it flying away, the whole process incredibly fast.

“Eh? This feeling…” Xue Jing paused, his eyes reflecting his thoughts.

Then, he tested it again by setting up the standing punching bag, punched it again, just as incredibly fast, as if a fast forward button was pressed.

The standing punching bag flew out again, hitting the wall.

“So it’s true, indeed…” he muttered.

“One last test…”

Xue Jing walked out of his house, left the residential area, and went to the small garden track where he usually jogged in the morning.

It was already eight or nine in the morning, and being a Monday, most people were at work or school, leaving few people in the garden, just a few elderly men and women walking, doing Tai Chi, and exercising.

Xue Jing took out his phone, opened the stopwatch function, and confirmed that no one around was watching him, then pressed start on the timer!

In an instant, he shot forward like a cannonball, moving at speeds impossible for a human, streaking across the track like a meteor.

In a matter of seconds, he had run half a lap, then he stopped and pressed the stop button on his phone.

[5 seconds 12]

“This track is two hundred meters in total, half a lap is one hundred meters… it took only 5 seconds 12.”

“So, this is the true nature of the active effect of [Twin Lifes]?”

A look of surprise flashed in Xue Jing’s eyes.

“To ignore any physical law, to directly make one’s action speed gain the effect of doubling…”

“Simply, conceptually, my speed has doubled!”

Xue Jing was overjoyed.

It is known that physical training has diminishing marginal effects.

To increase one’s running speed from twenty seconds per hundred meters to twelve seconds is relatively easy, just requiring persistent high-intensity training for a while.

But after achieving twelve seconds, factors like air resistance and physical limits mean that every 0.1-second improvement requires a hundred times, even a thousand times more effort.

Once reaching the ten-second domain, it’s even more absurd, every 0.01-second improvement is a remarkable progress, unachievable without enough talent and ample resources.

But now, Twin Lifes simply ignored all that, making his speed simply double!

From 10 seconds 24, it directly became 5 seconds 12!

Imagine this, he was in the midst of a high-stakes close combat where not a single mistake was permitted and suddenly he activated “Twin Lifes”. His hand speed doubled instantly. What concept is that?

This was an acceleration that defied logic and instinct; no one could have anticipated it, almost ensuring a sure hit.

This is Twin Lifes, a Divine Skill that transcends physics!

“It’s a pity, it really is just the speed that has doubled… The attack strength is still calculated based on the original physical properties.”

Speed equals mass, and the faster the punching speed, the higher is the attack.

However, Twin Lifes only doubled his speed, which means even if he could throw punches at the speed of sound because of the doubled speed, the kinetic energy released is still that of the original speed, not that of a sonic speed punch.

Despite this, he still felt that the “Twin Lifes Speed” could be described as invincible.

“So, does Twin Lifes also ignore physical laws and double “Physical Strength” and “Physical Defense”?”

At this thought, Xue Jing became a bit restless.

He definitely needed to rush and absorb some seventeen or eighteen Divine Relics.

“I’m bloody desperate!”

He picked up his phone and glanced at Wu Youqing in his contacts.

She was his only channel to access Divine Relics, and he had no idea when she would bring some work his way.

With a sigh, Xue Jing collected his thoughts.

Just as he was planning to continue testing the effect of Twin Lifes Speed, he suddenly discovered… it seemed to be unavailable.

He opened the panel and saw that the originally shining, golden “Twin Lifes Lv1” had become dull.

“Ah? There’s also a cooldown period?”

Xue Jing’s lips twitched.

He carefully looked at the “Twin Lifes” on the panel; the golden light was slowly returning.

“Just now, I ran for over 5 seconds, plus the time I used it inside the house…”

Xue Jing did a quick calculation, it seemed like he had used Twin Lifes Speed for about 20 seconds, and it had entered cooldown.

In that case… he would need to use this skill more strategically.

He wasn’t sure how long the cooldown was or whether upgrading it would extend the usage time.

“Ban, is this really your limit?”

Xue Jing was somewhat disappointed.

…

When he returned home, Miao Miao had already woken up and was nestled on the sofa in the living room, watching a cartoon on TV while licking its disheveled fur.

Seeing Xue Jing come back, it yawned, exposing a few sharp teeth.

“Didn’t you go to school, you’re back so soon?”

Xue Jing smiled and said:

“I missed Sect Hierarch so much, I couldn’t help but take leave and come back.”

This statement was a joke made in high spirits after activating Twin Lifes.

What Xue Jing hadn’t expected was that upon hearing this, Miao Miao paused for a moment, then turned its face away, its back towards him.

“Is that so…”

The childish female voice seemed a bit shy, not quite able to hide its mood as the cat’s tail flicked uncontrollably.

Xue Jing: “…”

If he said right now that he was just joking, would he be scratched on the spot?
