Chapter 100: CRUSHING! PROMOTION COMPLETED!

“Fuck! This lightning is terrifying! Everyone else’s elemental attacks are completely useless!”

“Is this the power of an S-rank ability? Unreal!”

“Heh, over a hundred people against one, and they can’t even put up any pressure!”

“Wait, isn’t the power of this A-rank combat skill, Thunder Spear, a bit too extreme?”

“......”

After Shi Liao organized the freshmen together, the upperclassmen in the stands expected the situation to take a different turn.

But Xu Jingming’s series of actions brutally shattered their expectations!

Some electric-type ability users who had also learned the A-rank combat skill “Thunder Spear” were even more astonished.

Xu Jingming’s “Thunder Spear” was terrifyingly powerful!

As if their own “Thunder Spear” was fake.

“I knew it—Senior has no problem.”

Gazing at the tall figure on the arena, the white-haired girl Jiang Chu looked into her eyes with sparkling admiration, unaware she’d misaddressed him.

Having witnessed Xu Jingming’s full strength, she naturally didn’t think these freshmen could threaten him.

Jiang Chu wasn’t the only one with this thought—Song Qiuyun on the training ground felt the same.

She crossed her arms, watching Xu Jingming step out from flames and lightning.

On her delicate, charming oval face, a faint smile lingered.

Thinking they could defeat Xu Jingming? Too naive!

In contrast, the professors on the podium erupted in chatter!

“Powerful Thunder Spear! Proficiency at least reached Advanced level!!”

“The Thunder Spear created a sonic boom—its instantaneous speed exceeded twice the speed of sound! His physique is too strong!”

“His control over electric-type abilities is extremely refined—his simple Lightning Net has zero gaps; he must train relentlessly.”

“......”

They were all seasoned high-rank ability users.

Just from one Thunder Spear and one Lightning Net, they realized Xu Jingming was far stronger than they’d imagined!

Take the A-rank combat skill “Thunder Spear,” for example.

Ordinary ability users need at least three to four years to reach Advanced proficiency!

Yet Xu Jingming, who’d only been enrolled for two months, had already mastered it to Advanced level—something they never expected.

Moreover, Xu Jingming’s physique was beyond their expectations—he could generate twice the speed of sound with his bare hands!

“A genius! Absolute genius!”

“This round won’t stop him!”

“How many more cards does Xu Jingming have that we don’t know about?”

“......”

Because Yang Zhentian, the dean, had always given Xu Jingming private lessons.

The professors’ impression of him was only those seven words: “S-rank ability awakener.” Everything else was unknown.

Even his second-rank upper-level strength had only just been revealed.

And the slight power Xu Jingming had just shown already delighted them.

But Yang Zhentian wasn’t here—they couldn’t ask for more critical information about Xu Jingming’s true strength.

Thus, regarding Xu Jingming’s full power,

they were like cats scenting fish—but had no other way to learn more.

They could only turn their gaze back to the arena and continue watching the battle.

Although Shi Liao shouted for another attack,

intimidated by Xu Jingming’s terrifying aura and his own elimination—his mind-control ability now useless—the freshmen hesitated.

Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded on the arena:

Over eighty people surrounded one man, yet none dared advance.

“Afraid to move? Then let me go!”

Xu Jingming’s gaze sharpened—a flash of lightning—and his spear-wielding form vanished from the spot!

Boom!

When he reappeared, one man was already flying through the air, spitting blood and screaming.

“Incredible speed!”

“I didn’t even see how he moved!”

“No good—we’ll get picked off if we scatter. We must unite!”

“......”

The remaining freshmen quickly reacted and decided to unite.

The elemental ability users in the back unleashed spell-based combat techniques.

The close-combat ability users charged forward with grim determination.

“Now this is fun!”

Xu Jingming grinned wildly and advanced, not retreating.

His tall, lean body plunged straight into the crowd!

The ranged elemental attacks were completely blocked by the lightning net swirling around him—he didn’t need to worry.

The close-combat weapons surrounding him were all stopped by his long spear.

Clang! Clang! Clang!......

A series of weapon impacts rang out as the Dark Cloud Gale Spear became a black blur in Xu Jingming’s hands.

Every ability user who tried to engage Xu Jingming—whether using combat techniques or ordinary strikes—

felt overwhelming force travel up their weapons, leaving them no resistance, and were blasted flying!

“Your strike angle is wrong! Your speed is too slow! Your strength is pitiful!

No good, no good—too weak, too weak!”

Xu Jingming didn’t use a single combat technique, and even Purple Thunder Divine Lightning was only used defensively against ranged attacks.

Yet even so, the formidable physique granted by the third layer of Thunder Unextinguished Body,

combined with his master-level spear technique,

meant not a single freshman could land a second strike against him!

Even with support ability users constantly boosting them, and even while enduring negative status effects—they still couldn’t!

So Xu Jingming pushed forward relentlessly, and in less than a minute,

the entire wide arena was left with only him standing.

Clang!

The 260-kilogram Dark Cloud Gale Spear slammed into the ground, emitting a low hum as the earth trembled slightly.

Xu Jingming scanned the surroundings—of the over a hundred freshmen,

all were either gravely injured and lying on the ground, or protected within Eva’s defensive barrier.

“Too weak.”

On Xu Jingming’s firm, steady face, deep disappointment settled.

He’d known his current strength would crush these freshmen.

But he hadn’t expected that even all one hundred and two of them united,

still couldn’t reach the intensity of his warm-up.

Nearby freshmen, hearing this, nearly wept.

Damn it—we’re all beaten to hell, and he still thinks we’re weak!

“Phase One, Round Two concluded! The qualifier is Xu Jingming, with 102 defeated opponents!”

The AI Eva’s holographic projection appeared above the arena.

Her cute spherical body displayed a hesitant, dazed expression:

“The other four qualifiers are......”

Aside from Xu Jingming, the other 102 had zero defeated opponents—they all failed to qualify.

Thus, the AI Eva couldn’t select any other four.

“Excluding the qualifier Xu Jingming, the other 102 will compete again in Round 11 to select four new qualifiers.”

Sun Qingxue, dean of the Element Academy, stepped forward and announced.

She cast a satisfied, admiring glance at Xu Jingming.

She had to admit—even as dean—this battle had been thrilling.

With Sun Qingxue’s final announcement, the upperclassmen in the stands erupted in discussion.

“Crushing! Absolute crushing!”

“A freshman competition with only one qualifier—I’ve never seen anything like it. Xu Jingming is truly formidable.”

“Wait till the clans—they’ll fight to the death to recruit Xu Jingming!”

“......”

Anyone with eyes could see—Xu Jingming hadn’t even used half his strength in that battle.

Even so, the opponent crushed over a hundred people in less than a minute.

Such a record had never occurred in the entire history of the Magic Capital Psychic University!
