Chapter 1043: Shocked Yang Zhentian! The Strongest Gather!

An hour later, Xu Jingming, his temper having cooled, took Su Qingli to Mo University.

He hadn't gone too far, otherwise, given his current physique, Su Qingli would have needed several hours to recover.

Before leaving the villa, Xu Jingming had already sent a message to Professor Yang Zhentian.

Upon arriving at Mo University, he walked straight to the faculty villa district and found Professor Yang Zhentian in the living room.

This vice president of Mo University, known in school as "Yang the Helllord," usually wore a stern expression—but now his face was beaming with smiles:

"Jingming, you're here? Come, sit down quickly."

Then he turned to Su Qingli, his tone filled with respect: "Director Su, please have a seat as well."

Although Xu Jingming had broken through to the ninth rank, he was still his student, so Yang Zhentian could still treat him as before.

But Su Qingli was different—she was not his student.

As an eighth-rank Lower Great Master, he had to show sufficient respect to Su Qingli, a ninth-rank.

Su Qingli sensed this, and smiled slightly as she spoke:

"Professor Yang, you needn't be so formal—treat me the same way you treat Jingming."

"Huh?!!!"

Yang Zhentian was stunned.

It was normal for Xu Jingming to call him professor.

But why are you calling me professor?

"Qingli's right," Xu Jingming said, sitting down on the sofa with a smile. "Just treat her that way from now on—no need to be so formal."

Su Qingli sat quietly beside him.

This scene left Yang Zhentian feeling dazed.

This scene left even Yang Zhentian feeling a bit dazed.

Former director of Lei Ting Wu Guan.

Renowned across the entire Blue Planet for her cold, otherworldly demeanor.

In public, she always appeared like a fairy, untouched by mortal dust.

Yet now, why did she seem as submissive as a newlywed bride?

After the United Nations meeting ended, rumors spread that Su Qingli and Xu Jingming were together.

He had originally doubted them—but now it was clear the rumors were true.

"My student… not only is his talent monstrous, but his partner is equally outstanding—first Hearing Ling Shuang, now Su Qingli..."

Yang Zhentian silently marveled, but quickly recovered and hurriedly said:

"No, no—just call me President Yang. Don't call me professor like Jingming does."

He knew Su Qingli was saying this only because of Xu Jingming.

If a ninth-rank like her truly called him professor, that would be outright impolite.

"Very well." Su Qingli gave a slight nod.

Seeing this, Yang Zhentian exhaled in relief, then smiled at Xu Jingming:

"You've caused quite a stir lately—thanks to you, my standing at Mo University has soared. Even the elusive chancellor has started seeking me out."

Previously, although Xu Jingming was famous, he hadn't yet fully grown.

But now, having broken through to the ninth rank and slain two ninth-rank mid-tier experts, Xu Jingming had proven he had fully matured.

Naturally, his teacher benefited along with him.

Having not seen each other for a long time, Xu Jingming chatted at length with Yang Zhentian.

During their talk, he gave away many of the resources he had seized from the Breakthrough Tower and Tianhong.

These included extremely rare SSS-grade and SS-grade cultivation resources.

With these resources, Yang Zhentian could easily break from eighth rank to eighth-rank peak within three or four years.

As for the ninth rank—that would depend on Yang Zhentian's own destiny.

After all, Xu Jingming had no second SSR-grade Holy Essence Pill.

Yang Zhentian was deeply moved.

He had never imagined that after being stuck at seventh-rank peak for over a decade, he would break through thanks to his own student.

Even more astonishing—he now held resources capable of helping him challenge the ninth rank!

He had never imagined that he, stuck at the peak of the seventh rank for over a decade, would break through because of his own student.

resources below SSR-grade held little use for him anymore—better to let others use them.

"By the way, the National University League starts in half a month—will you show up?" Yang Zhentian asked.

"Professor, you're not seriously asking me to fight those fourth-rankers, are you? That'd be bullying." Xu Jingming joked.

"Right, the National Collegiate League is in half a month—why don't you go make an appearance?" Yang Zhentian said.

Yang Zhentian quickly shook his head. "It's the chancellor—he wants you to appear at the League for publicity.

But if you're busy, I'll just decline for you."

"That's fine." Xu Jingming nodded.

Mo University was his alma mater; just showing up wouldn't take long.

At 11 PM, Tianhong sent a message: all sixth-rank and above Divine Blood Envoys of the Tianming Sect had gathered.

Xu Jingming then took his leave from Professor Yang Zhentian and went to the location specified by Tianhong.

These eighth-rank, seventh-rank, and sixth-rank Divine Blood Envoys assumed Tianhong had summoned them for some major purpose.

So Xu Jingming took his leave of Teacher Yang Zhentian and headed to the location Hong had designated.

These eighth-tier, seventh-tier, and sixth-tier Divine Blood Envoys still thought Hong had summoned them over for some important arrangement.

But what came to greet them was Xu Jingming.

He couldn't even be bothered to use any combat techniques, simply employing the SSS-rank Chaos Divine Thunder to blast all those Divine Blood Envoys to death.

The 203 Divine Blood Envoys here ultimately provided him with 780,000 Ability Points.

Compared to the several million Ability Points harvested from Sakura Nation, 780,000 wasn't much, but it somewhat replenished the Ability Points that had been exhausted from upgrading the SSR Body Tempering Art.

When he returned to the Moon Lake residential district, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan had already finished their league training and were back at the villa......

The next day, the three women took quite a while to recover before following Xu Jingming back to the Lei Ting Wu Guan headquarters.

The Supreme Divine Blood auction was to begin at seven in the evening, but starting from three in the afternoon, warplanes kept flying in from the horizon and landing in front of the Lei Ting Wu Guan building.

The auras emanating from the figures stepping off those warplanes made one's heart palpitate again and again.

"Hiss, that's Congressman Cao Jun, isn't it? He came too?"

"Not just him! Lord Blood Sword is here too!"

"Tsk tsk, ever since the previous-previous hall master went missing, when has my Lei Ting Wu Guan ever had such a grand occasion?"

"Just wait and see. With Hall Master Xu here, my Lei Ting Wu Guan will definitely get better and better."

"......"

Inside the Lei Ting Wu Guan headquarters building, quite a few people were splitting their attention to keep an eye on the outside.

Although the former Su Qingli was the youngest ninth-rank Law Saint of Great Xia, after all she had a bottleneck limiting her.

So the ninth-rank congressmen of Great Xia only maintained the most basic respect toward her.

But now that Xu Jingming had taken office.

SSS-rank Ability!

The youngest ninth-rank of Great Xia!

Every single one of these labels represented a boundless future for Xu Jingming!

Xu Jingming had now already become the most sought-after young powerhouse of Great Xia.

The Lei Ting Wu Guan under his control was affected along with him.

Members of Lei Ting Wu Guan received sufficient respect when they moved about outside.

This was a treatment and experience that absolutely never existed when Su Qingli was in charge.

They were naturally brimming with confidence in the future of Lei Ting Wu Guan.

"In another year or two, Lei Ting Wu Guan will probably comprehensively surpass the Fierce Bear Wu Guan."

A burly man with a thick, heavy aura who had stepped down from a warplane couldn't help but shake his head slightly upon noticing this scene.

He was Zhou Zhi, the hall master of Fierce Bear Wu Guan, and naturally understood the influence a leader-level powerhouse had on a martial hall's development.

"Yo, Hall Master Zhou, what brings you here too? This is your rival's turf."

A ninth-rank powerhouse who had likewise landed on the ground not far away opened his mouth with a smile to tease him.

"Heh, who says we're rivals? Hall Master Xu and I are on great terms!"

Zhou Zhi retorted in exasperation, then strode into the martial hall building in big steps.

The Supreme Divine Blood — a chance for an SS-rank Ability!

Let alone rivals.

If at the auction later Xu Jingming was willing to take his Fierce Bear Wu Guan.

He would absolutely hand it over without a second word.

Compared to such a chance, what was his one Fierce Bear Wu Guan worth? It was nothing!
