Chapter 1045: SSR-Class Bi Hai Ling Po Orchid! Free Ride!

"Among the resources to exchange for the Supreme Divine Blood, there is an opportunity to break through to the Supreme Stronger. Xu Jingming, aren't you reconsidering?"

Seeing Xu Jingming wasn't taking the bait, Eric raised the stakes again.

At these words, Xu Jingming couldn't help but laugh.

With the typical arrogance of white people, the three words "White Skin Pig" had definitely struck a nerve.

Yet Eric ignored the mockery and continued to tempt him with the opportunity to become a Supreme Stronger.

Previously uncertain, now with this reaction, he could confirm Eric was definitely setting a trap.

Besides,

where would there be so many opportunities to become a Supreme Stronger?

Didn't Su Qingli's father, Su Tianrui, nearly die because he was fooled by such rumors?

Moreover, with the Deep Blue System, the so-called opportunity to become a Supreme Stronger held zero allure for him.

But how could he pass up an opportunity handed to him? He loved freebies more than anything.

Xu Jingming feigned interest and quickly said:

"An opportunity to break through to the Supreme Stronger? That could work, but I need to verify it first."

"Xu Lord, you truly are the number one prodigy of Blue Star! So decisive!"

Eric laughed heartily and waved his hand.

A plant resembling an orchid, yet entirely deep green, appeared out of thin air on his palm.

Whoo—

The instant the deep green plant appeared, the yuan energy in heaven and earth surged wildly.

Gathering around the plant, it looked profoundly mystical.

"What is this?"

"It looks like a rare flower or herb."

"The yuan energy is converging toward it, and it seems to be continuously purified."

"Councilor Cao, do you know what this rare flower or herb is?"

Even the nine-rank councilors, usually well-versed, couldn't identify it and turned curiously to Elder Cao Jun for help.

"Bi Hai Ling Po Orchid, SSR-grade rare flower or herb."

Cao Jun's gaze solemn, expression complex, said:

"This rare flower or herb can aid in breaking through to the Supreme Stronger, increasing the success rate by ten percent."

The cultivation of psychics is simple: it's merely accumulating yuan energy.

Yet the final upper limit of rank depends on many factors, with the most critical being innate talent.

As long as one's talent isn't terrible and their psychic rank is no lower than A-class, there's a certain chance to break through to ninth rank.

But the Supreme Stronger is entirely different.

When a ninth-rank peak psychic reaches the upper limit of yuan energy accumulation and attempts to break through to the Supreme Stronger, the probability of failure is very high.

Of the six Supreme Strongers on Blue Star today, only a very few succeeded on their first attempt.

The rest all tried at least two or three times before succeeding.

And this rare flower or herb, which increases the breakthrough probability by ten percent, is undoubtedly a priceless treasure!

"Bi Hai Ling Po Orchid? It's really that!"

"I've heard of this thing, but never imagined it looked like this!"

"Increases the chance to break through to the Supreme Stronger? Damn, this is a treasure!"

"......"

As soon as Cao Jun finished speaking, the nine-rank councilors erupted in uproar.

The value of this rare flower or herb was equal to that of a Supreme Divine Blood!

Even higher in value!

Eric was extremely pleased with their reaction and looked at Xu Jingming with a hint of arrogance:

"Correct, this is the Bi Hai Ling Po Orchid that increases the chance to break through to the Supreme Stronger!

I offer this SSR-grade rare flower or herb in exchange for one Supreme Divine Blood, but once you choose to exchange,

the remaining two Supreme Divine Bloods must also be given to me."

With that, he generously pushed the Bi Hai Ling Po Orchid toward Xu Jingming with his spiritual force.

Xu Jingming flipped his right hand and immediately stored it in his space ring.

Eric froze for a moment, then smiled:

"So you've chosen to exchange. The remaining resources will be delivered gradually over the next few days; just give me one Supreme Divine Blood for now."

"What Supreme Divine Blood?" Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow.

Eric frowned and emphasized: "One Bi Hai Ling Po Orchid for one Supreme Divine Blood—we agreed just now."

"Who agreed with you?"

Xu Jingming said slowly, "I never agreed to anything."

Eric was stunned: "Then why did you take my Bi Hai Ling Po Orchid?"

"Whose Bi Hai Ling Po Orchid? It's mine now."

Xu Jingming shook his head and said, "Ask everyone here—has anyone seen it as yours?"

The nine-rank councilors paused, then instantly understood.

Xu Jingming was going to free-ride!

But since it was from the EU, free-riding was fine.

They quickly chimed in: "Yes, yes, that's right—we only saw Senior Xu's Azure Sea Soul Orchid."

Eric's face darkened at once as he warned:

"I left my aura imprint on that Azure Sea Soul Orchid."

"How dare you leave your aura imprint on my Azure Sea Soul Orchid?"

Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow, glaring fiercely at Eric, his posture brimming with accusation.

Eric was utterly stunned.

He'd seen shameless people before, but never one this shameless!

"Jingming, you're too cruel."

Su Qingli could no longer hold back, letting out a soft, melodic laugh.

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan beside her also covered their mouths and giggled.

Before them, Xu Jingming always appeared composed and utterly calm.

Yet no one expected him to be so skilled at trapping others.

Eric finally realized he'd been tricked—Xu Jingming had never intended to exchange for the Supreme Divine Blood!

"Sh*t! Xu Jingming, you dare mock me!"

He roared in fury, "Hand over the Azure Sea Soul Orchid, or I'll report this to my teacher!"

Whether he was being mocked was secondary.

If he couldn't recover the Azure Sea Soul Orchid, his troubles would be immense!

"Dare you insult a Great Xia Councilor? Seek death!"

Xu Jingming sneered, and the SSS-rank Chaotic Divine Thunder erupted violently, coalescing into a colossal Thunder Handprint that slammed down upon Eric!

Boom—!!

Though Eric activated his ability, his blood qi exploding, he had not the slightest resistance.

Like a fly struck by a flyswatter, he was smashed straight into the ground!

"Heavenly Thunder Art!"

Crack—

A bolt of black lightning, as thick as a water barrel, crashed down and struck Eric on the ground.

It finished off his already faint aura, sending him into complete unconsciousness.

This scene left the surrounding ninth-rank councilors deeply unsettled.

Though Eric was merely a low-tier ninth-rank, his teacher was a Supreme Sovereign, and his SSS-rank ability made his strength far from negligible.

At least half of the ninth-rank councilors present were no match for him.

Yet before Xu Jingming, he was knocked unconscious with just two combat arts.

More crucially, Eric was a Martial Saint.

To knock him unconscious, one must first completely erase his Immortal Substance!

Xu Jingming accomplished this effortlessly—his strength was undeniably terrifying.
