Chapter 1012: Liu Wei's Realization! Blue Star Top Ten!

"Arrange it as Jingming instructed." Su Qingli nodded.

"Understood!"

Liu Wei nodded, respectfully withdrew from the room, and considerately closed the door behind her.

"Strange, why does the Hall Master seem a bit off today, and why is there a strange smell in the office?"

After leaving the office, Liu Wei was still somewhat puzzled.

The Hall Master's office was cleaned by dedicated staff every day, so there shouldn't be such a strong odd smell.

And... why are there marks on the floor-to-ceiling window?

"Could it be that the cleaners didn't do a proper job?"

Liu Wei frowned slightly, lowered her head in thought, and happened to see her own slightly swelling chest.

Recalling those two handprints, her eyes slowly widened, and an extremely ominous guess surfaced in her mind.

But she immediately rejected it herself.

"Impossible! How could Hall Master Su do something like that?"

Although she tried hard to deny it in her heart, Liu Wei subconsciously compared Su Qingli's figure with the marks on the floor-to-ceiling window.

As an assistant who had accompanied Su Qingli for two or three years, she knew Su Qingli's height very well.

If Su Qingli were placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the positions of those two shadows and handprints would match up perfectly!

"It really is the Hall Master?!"

Right hand pressed to her chest, a look of disbelief surfaced deep in Liu Wei's beautiful eyes.

"If my guess is right, that means the Hall Master and Xu Jingming..."

Liu Wei, who had just thought of this, was still a bit shocked at first.

But on second thought, it didn't seem like a big deal for the two of them to be together.

Both are ninth-rank lower-tier, and Xu Jingming is even stronger and younger.

Besides, there's already Hearing Ling Shuang as a cautionary precedent before Su Qingli.

The two of them being together could be considered a natural course of events.

"The Hall Master and Xu Jingming do make a good match.

I just didn't expect that the Hall Master would have this side to her too.

And her figure seems even better than I imagined, those two shadows were actually that big..."

Thinking of Su Qingli, who usually appeared cold and aloof, like a fairy untouched by mortal affairs.

Was pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window when she had just knocked earlier, heedlessly moaning beneath Xu Jingming.

Liu Wei felt her whole body flush with heat, hurriedly pressed her long slender legs tightly together, quickened her pace, and fled the scene as if escaping...

"It's all your fault! Liu Wei must have noticed something just now!"

After Liu Wei left, Su Qingli, who had been putting on the Hall Master's airs, immediately let her guard down and shot Xu Jingming an annoyed look.

"Angry? Why do I get the feeling you were quite enjoying it just now?" Xu Jingming grinned.

Su Qingli was momentarily at a loss for words.

Because of what had just happened, quite a few people were already outside the martial arts hall building, frequently looking up toward the top floor.

Although the floor-to-ceiling window was one-way transparent and couldn't be seen into from outside.

Facing those gazes, she still felt a twinge of shyness and nervousness subconsciously, feeling as if she had already been seen.

Carried by such emotions, she actually felt a kind of unusual thrilling experience.

Especially when Liu Wei arrived later, it made her legs go weak, nearly unable to stand.

Precisely because of this, she still felt her cheeks burning even now...

"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore."

With a coquettish huff, Su Qingli, whose little face was slightly flushed, turned her head away.

Xu Jingming couldn't help but smile faintly at the sight.

Su Qingli, this goddess who appeared incomparably aloof in others' eyes, was just like a little girl experiencing first love in front of him.

Of course, in a certain sense, it really was her first time...

"Back to business. Since Senior Su has already returned, how about letting him be the Hall Master?"

Xu Jingming said thoughtfully.

"No, this was agreed upon long ago."

Seeing Xu Jingming bring up business, Su Qingli turned her head back, but still insisted:

"Besides, my dad said he'll break through to Supreme within two or three years. Do you think he'd still have the energy to run the martial arts hall?"

Hu Jinyu's collusion with the Li family to monopolize power, and Su Tianrui's focus on cultivation during his tenure, actually bore great responsibility for the hall's lax management.

"If it were me, I wouldn't have the energy either." Xu Jingming shrugged.

After breaking through to ninth-rank, the ability points on the Deep Blue system panel had been used up.

Without the Void-Breaking Tower as a treasure trove that doubled ability points, from now on he could only go to the wilderness to hunt fierce beasts himself.

"It's fine."

Su Qingli said with a smile: "With your current reputation, just taking over as Hall Master can elevate the prestige of the entire Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall to another level.

As for the specific management, leave it to me and Liu Wei."

To put it bluntly, Xu Jingming's current reputation is even greater than her father Su Tianrui's back in the day!

After all, Su Tianrui didn't have the feat of breaking through to ninth-rank at 20 and slaying two ninth-rank mid-tier fighters in a row back then.

"This is making me an absentee boss?" Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow.

"What? Don't like it?" This time it was Su Qingli's turn to ask.

"I like it, of course I like it." Xu Jingming grinned.

With the 300 million contribution points from the Great Xia resource vault, and the large haul of spatial rings obtained this time in the Void-Breaking Tower.

He actually no longer had much interest in the treasure vault of Lei Ting Wu Guan.

But Lei Ting Wu Guan still had so many people it could mobilize.

When the time came, he would have each branch of the martial hall set aside a separate zone to raise fierce beasts.

Later, when he went around harvesting them one by one, he could also obtain quite a few ability points.

After spending some intimate time with Su Qingli, Xu Jingming entered the virtual world to test his strength.

In normal form, his strength was equivalent to a mid-tier ninth-rank S-class ability user.

But if he activated the Thunderstorm Form, the Lightning Domain, and the amplification of the Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan.

His strength would shoot straight up to that of an upper-tier ninth-rank S-class ability user!

No matter whether that upper-tier ninth-rank was a Martial Saint or a Law Saint, he could suppress them all!

"Not bad, not bad! With this strength, you can hold your own on the entire Blue Star!"

In the virtual world arena, wild laughter rang out across the entire city.

Pitch-black thunder coiled around Xu Jingming's body, the Extreme Glory Jiyao Jiyao Lei Huan spun behind him, and he stood in mid-air like a black hole, emanating an astonishing aura.

"Aside from the Spark World side, Blue Star currently has a total of 161 known ninth-rank ability users.

Among them, 92 are lower-tier ninth-rank, 48 are mid-tier ninth-rank, and 21 are upper-tier ninth-rank.

Among these 21 upper-tier ninth-rank, most are ordinary A-class upper-tier ninth-rank or S-class upper-tier ninth-rank.

Only 8 are S-class ninth-rank peak! In other words, with your current S-class strength, you're solidly in the top ten below the Supreme!"

The green-haired twin-tailed little loli Eva appeared before his eyes, giggling.

"Top ten in combat power, and that other black armor can push my survivability to number one below the Supreme."

A satisfied smile surfaced on Xu Jingming's face.

He had already tested the black armor Lord Hei Yu gave him in the real world, and its defense was indeed formidable.

It weakened attacks below the Supreme level by 99%, which could already be called invincible.

"Jingming, the press conference is about to start, let's get ready."

Su Qingli's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Okay."

Xu Jingming took off his consciousness helmet and exited the virtual world.
