Chapter 1048

"There are several more S-class resources; after use by Miss Song and Miss Jiang, they should break through to fifth tier within a few days."

Liu Wei continued her explanation.

"Fifth tier?"

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

With the resources provided by Xu Jingming, the two of them had already skyrocketed to the peak of fourth tier.

They never expected to break through to fifth tier so soon!

"We've used too many pills and rare herbs—will continuing to use cultivation resources cause side effects?"

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan both felt uneasy.

"Rest assured, if your abilities were only S-class, there might still be some limitations."

"But your abilities have both evolved into SS-class, and your physiques have correspondingly changed."

"These resources are insufficient to cause any side effects."

"These conclusions were drawn by our alchemy master's analysis—you can rest easy."

Liu Wei explained.

"That's good."

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan nodded simultaneously.

Before this, they had never imagined they'd ever be troubled by having too many resources.

But...

Once they break through to fifth tier, in just over ten days' time, few will be able to match them in the national university league.

Seeing this, Xu Jingming couldn't help but nod slightly.

He had to admit, Liu Wei's professionalism was truly excellent.

She had handled everything with meticulous order, considering not just him and Su Qingli.

She had even taken into account Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan's cultivation.

"It's a pity Hearing Ling Shuang isn't here—otherwise we could have designed a customized upgrade resource plan for her."

Su Qingli felt a pang of regret.

"Hearing Ling Shuang is training under the former master of the Void Divine Palace; her resource allocation may not be worse than ours."

Xu Jingming smiled, "But it's been three months since she entered the spatial chaos layer."

"Once we finish here, we'll go to the Void Divine Palace and ask if there's any news of her."

"That's good." Su Qingli's beautiful eyes lit up, and she nodded quickly.

Xu Jingming's body refinement technique had evolved into SSR-class—if Hearing Ling Shuang didn't return, the three of them alone couldn't hold the line.

Moreover, she and Xu Jingming's relationship hadn't yet been told to Hearing Ling Shuang—she needed to tell her as soon as possible.

Otherwise, she'd always feel a sense of moral guilt...

After receiving the cultivation resources, Xu Jingming and Su Qingli headed to the training room.

Su Qingli's breakthrough from ninth tier lower to ninth tier middle would likely cause her aura to spiral out of control, greatly affecting lower-tier adepts.

Thus, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan went to another training room to use their resources.

Inside the training room, Su Qingli sat cross-legged on the floor, her long black hair cascading down to the curve of her firm buttocks.

Her upper body sat perfectly straight, accentuating the fullness and firmness of her chest.

Paired with her pale, delicate oval face, she looked like a frosty, otherworldly fairy untouched by mortal dust.

But only Xu Jingming before her knew her wild, contrasting behavior last night.

After a moment, Su Qingli, having adjusted her aura to its peak, swallowed the SSS+ class cultivation resource.

Boom—!!

Her ninth tier lower aura surged wildly under the pill's propulsion!!

"She's breaking through."

Xu Jingming's gaze sharpened; he activated the Ziwei Eye and carefully observed Su Qingli's aura fluctuations.

After watching for over a minute and confirming her breakthrough posed no issues, he finally lowered his gaze.

Ninth-tier adept breakthroughs aren't as simple as lower-tier ones; Su Qingli's ascent to ninth tier middle would take at least an hour.

"Now, let's examine this lightning wood."

Shhh—

A faint glow flashed from his space ring; the annihilating branch taken from Blood Sword's hand appeared in Xu Jingming's right hand.

With a flick of his spiritual force, the lightning sealed within the branch was drawn forth.

Crackling—

A pale blue lightning sphere, roughly the size of a basketball, radiated astonishing energy.

Xu Jingming summoned his own Chaos Divine Thunder, condensing it into a sphere of equal size.

He used the Ziwei Eye to closely observe the two floating lightning orbs.

With the Ziwei Eye's enhancement, he indeed detected similarities between the two.

Both carried traces of annihilation.

Yet the pale blue sphere's annihilation aura felt refined and advanced, while the Chaos Divine Thunder's felt crude and lowly.

Xu Jingming had never noticed this before—but now, with direct comparison, the difference was clear.

"So this is what's called a Fragment of the Annihilation Law? It seems useless to me."

Xu Jingming stared for a long time, even opening his system panel multiple times, but found no option to allocate points.

"Of course it's useless—Laws are something only cosmic-level experts can comprehend."

You haven't even broken through to Starlight rank, so even if your talent is monstrous, you can't see anything after just half an hour.

The green-haired, pigtailed little girl Eva appeared, shaking her head as she explained: "Your Chaos Doushen Shenlei carries the meaning of destruction, but it hasn't reached the realm yet.

Carefully observe this fragment of the Destruction Principle—perhaps one day you'll comprehend the Destruction Realm."

"That's true." Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

I was just too eager. With the Deep Blue System, I'll eventually master the Destruction Principle on the Extinction Branch.

'But Ability Points are still an issue—adding points to Body Strengthening Art has drained all my Ability Points. I need to return to Sakura Country and harvest another batch.

But the Strongest One's Secret Realm has already been arranged with Chairman Zhou.

If I go to Sakura Country first, I'll have to stay at least another month, meaning I'll have to wait another month before I can open the Secret Realm.'

Xu Jingming hesitated.

But he quickly made his decision: go to Sakura Country first.

Improving strength is most important—the key to opening the Strongest One's Secret Realm is in my hands; I can go whenever I want.

Immediately after he made his decision, Su Qingli's aura, already at its peak, suddenly surged upward, then gradually stabilized.

Su Qingli, seated cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of clear, captivating eyes.

"Congratulations, Teacher Su, you've successfully broken through to Ninth Rank Mid-Level Law Saint."

Xu Jingming smiled and stood up, returning the pale blue lightning to the Extinction Branch as he offered his congratulations.

Having broken through to Ninth Rank Mid-Level, Su Qingli's aura had grown far more refined; her already slender, alluring figure now looked even more beautiful.

"It's all thanks to you—without you, I wouldn't have been able to acquire resources suitable for my breakthrough so quickly."

Su Qingli walked forward with long, graceful steps.

"Then, Teacher, what reward are you going to give me?" Xu Jingming grinned wickedly as he pulled Su Qingli into his arms.

Feeling her fullness firmly held, Su Qingli let out a soft hum; her Bai Xi face instantly flushed slightly, and she gave him a sultry, sidelong glance:

"You'll find out tonight."

Her student was becoming increasingly bold...

"That's more like it." Xu Jingming grinned widely.
