Chapter 1070
At night,
Xu Jingming spent an unforgettable 21st birthday.
The next day, Su Qingli and Ling Shuang were fine; Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan took a long while to get up.
After cleaning up in the bathroom and changing into their Devil University battle suits, they left the villa and joined Devil University's competition team.
Logically speaking, even as psychics, this would more or less affect their combat power.
But Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan had both broken through to the fifth tier, making them the strongest among all competing teams, so there was naturally no concern about their condition being affected.
The team competition began soon, and Devil University's team was the second to take the field, facing off immediately against Qingjing Psychic University.
When the slender figures of Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan stepped to the front of their team and unleashed the aura of fifth-tier psychics,
the opposing Qingjing Psychic University team instantly froze in shock.
If the two had merely been at the peak of the fourth tier, they might still have had a chance.
But fifth tier—and two of them!
How could anyone possibly fight that?
Not just Qingjing Psychic University, but all other university teams displayed expressions of despair.
No one expected Lei Di Xu Jingming wouldn't compete, yet two goddesses had appeared instead!
With these two goddesses on the team, how could any other university even compete?
"Fifth-tier SS-class psychics—this year's university league champion is clearly Devil University's to lose."
On the spectator stands, the remaining university principals all wore bitter smiles.
Vice Principal Yang Zhentian, as the team's mentor, beamed with joy.
Jiang Chuxuan will graduate next year, but Song Qiuyun will still be here.
That means next year's league champion will still belong to Devil University.
Of course, he understood.
Without his beloved disciple, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan would never have possessed such terrifying combat power.
"Qiuyun and Chuxuan are truly formidable."
"Indeed, this league has no suspense whatsoever."
Su Qingli and Ling Shuang, their fair faces still faintly flushed, whispered softly.
"Once this league ends, we can send them straight back to Lei Ting Martial Hall."
Xu Jingming smiled.
With Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan's strength, staying in university served no further purpose.
For future university leagues, it's enough to keep Song Qiuyun's enrollment active so she can return to compete.
Devil University trained him well; securing their league championship is a form of repayment.
The league continued, but it was clear.
With Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan revealing their fifth-tier aura, the championship would undoubtedly go to Devil University.
So after watching a few matches, Xu Jingming rose and left, preparing to head to Xia Meng Headquarters.
Once he selected a suitable SSR-class spear there, he could proceed to the Crimson Fortress.
Upon hearing this news, Ling Shuang and Su Qingli also wished to accompany him.
But Xu Jingming was going to the front line because he had confidence in his own strength and sufficient defensive measures.
If the two girls came along, something unexpected might happen, so he didn't let them come.
The Void Divine Palace still had countless tasks awaiting resolution; they had come specifically for his birthday last night.
Since they couldn't accompany him to the front line, they returned to the Void Divine Palace.
Xu Jingming also retrieved his Black Obsidian-class fighter, which Yiwa piloted toward Xia Meng.
Two hours later, the fighter departed Xia Meng, heading for the Crimson Fortress on the southwestern border.
Inside the fighter's cabin, Xu Jingming pulled out a spear.
The spear was about 2.2 meters long, entirely silver-white, its tip sharp as lightning.
Along its shaft, blue lightning-like patterns flickered faintly, radiating light.
This was the spear he selected from the Great Xia Resource Vault, named 'Heaven's Punishment'!
This spear originated from the First Civilization Era, belonging to a ninth-tier peak Wu Sheng with a Lightning-type SS-class psychic ability.
Crafted entirely from top-tier SSR-class alloy, its shaft bore intricate runes capable of amplifying lightning psychic energy.
Among elemental psychics, lightning-type abilities were the rarest and most aggressive.
High-level lightning-type psychics were even more scarce.
The vast majority of lightning-type psychics who broke through to the ninth tier followed the Elementalist path, rarely the Wu Sheng path.
Consequently, melee lightning-type weapons were even rarer.
Very few remained from the First and Second Civilization Eras.
This 'Heaven's Punishment' was the finest of all melee lightning-type weapons.
If nothing unexpected occurred, this spear would accompany Xu Jingming all the way to the Starlight level.
"From now on, you'll fight beside me."
He infused the spear with SS-class Chaotic Divine Thunder.
Lightning flared, and the spear emitted a crisp sound, as if in response.
Xu Jingming instantly sensed the difference.
His previous spear, Ink Shadow Wind Thunder, though also SSR-class, was the worst of its tier.
Before the ninth tier, it was fine—but after reaching the ninth tier, when Chaotic Divine Thunder flowed into the spear, it felt sluggish.
Especially after entering the Middle Stage of Rank Nine, this gray sensation became even stronger.
Last time, after using Lei Shen Form to deal with Luke, the Ink Shadow Lianhuan Lei Qiang was already nearly destroyed.
Clearly, this was due to the extreme ferocity of the Chaotic Divine Thunder in Lei Shen Form.
But now, Tianfa is different—the Chaotic Divine Thunder flows like water, surging freely within the spear, fully unleashing its power.
I believe the enhancement after using Lei Shen Form will be no problem either.
"S-Class, there's a call request from Teacher Ling." Eva's voice suddenly sounded.
"Connect it."
Xu Jingming stored Tianfa Spear into his space ring.
On the large screen inside the cabin, Ling Shuang's coldly beautiful face appeared, with a tear mole beneath her eye.
"Jingming, I've made a new discovery."
Ling Shuang's melodious voice rang out, "Zhang Hengyang is planning to locate the remaining secret realms on Blue Star, to be opened by the Void Divine Temple."
So far, four secret realm locations have been found, but before we could act, we enslaved him."
What should we do with these discovered secret realms? Should we continue exploring them?"
"Oh?"
Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow. "Do you have the corresponding keys to open these secret realms?"
"No, but we can forcibly break them open."
Ling Shuang's beautiful eyes glimmered slightly with excitement. "With me, Zhang Hengyang, and the other two Rank Nine Space experts, even without keys, we can attempt to violently open the secret realms."
In the Second Civilization Era, the Space God once used this method to violently open many secret realms left behind by the First Civilization."
These four secret realms are like blind boxes.
They might contain astonishing opportunities, or they might yield nothing at all.
But secret realms that have been created are likely to contain many valuable items.
