Chapter 1116: Arriving Together! The Long-Awaited Point-Add Option Appears!

I have three SSR-grade resources to assist in breaking through to the Supreme tier.

If I consume them all, perhaps I can give it a try!

Just as Xu Jingming was pondering this, Ai Mose, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up:

"Jingming, let's go to the Hearthfire Temple.

Lei Ding and I aren't close, but we're both from the Hearthfire World.

Evelyn won't dare act against us on our own turf.

Even if Greater Xia temporarily falls into American hands, it doesn't matter—your talent guarantees you'll break through to Starlight tier within two or three years.

Once you break through, I'll join you to reclaim Greater Xia."

Ai Mose's meaning was clear.

Survival comes first; the territory of Greater Xia can be abandoned for now.

And this is the only solution.

Holding onto Greater Xia won't save its territory—it'll only cost you your life.

"The situation hasn't deteriorated that far."

Xu Jingming shook his head and looked at Ai Mose:

"Teacher, do you have any resources to assist in breaking through to the Supreme tier?"

"I do have some, but why are you asking?" Ai Mose frowned at him.

"I want to use these resources to break through to the Supreme tier immediately," Xu Jingming said without concealment.

Since the goal is to reduce the ability points needed to break through by enhancing his own strength, the more resources he consumes, the better.

"Nonsense!"

Ai Mose's eyebrows snapped up, a rare reprimand in her voice:

"Do you know when these resources are meant to be used?

Only when you're at the peak of Rank Nine, with just one final step left before breaking through to the Supreme tier!

You've only just reached Upper Rank Nine—not even close to the peak.

Your internal Qi hasn't accumulated enough to trigger a breakthrough.

Consuming these resources won't help you—it'll drain your potential and delay your breakthrough to the Supreme tier!"

"I know. But I'm confident."

Xu Jingming met Ai Mose's gaze, his expression serious.

If this breakthrough fails, it fails.

For him, there's no real loss.

With the Deep Blue System, there's no such thing as drained potential.

But if it succeeds, he'll gain power enough to reverse the entire situation!

Therefore, he must try!

"You're confident?"

Ai Mose's beautiful amber eyes fixed on Xu Jingming.

And Xu Jingming met her gaze without a trace of fear.

After several breaths, she sighed:

"Fine. If you're determined, then go ahead and try.

But I warn you—if you consume all the resources and still don't break through, I'll take you out of Greater Xia immediately."

"Thank you, Teacher!" Xu Jingming's face lit up with joy as he quickly bowed.

"These three are SSR-grade resources to assist in breaking through to the Supreme tier. Take them."

Ai Mose waved her hand, and three wooden boxes materialized out of thin air.

"Perfect! Wait for my good news!"

Xu Jingming immediately entered the secret chamber.

"Breakthrough to the Supreme tier?"

Su Qingli and Hearing Ling Shuang exchanged glances, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.

Even they, who always trusted Xu Jingming, felt this was sudden—and the chance of success was extremely slim...

"S-Class, are you really planning to attempt a breakthrough to the Supreme tier now?"

From within his smart bracer, Eva emerged, her voice tinged with concern.

"Yes. This crisis in Greater Xia has only one solution."

Xu Jingming nodded and pulled six resources from his space ring:

"How should I use these six resources to maximize their effect?"

Even though his physique was strong, any medicine carries some toxicity.

Using six at once demanded caution.

"I'd like to persuade you, but I know it won't work."

Looking at Xu Jingming's determined, resolute gaze, Eva shook her head and said:

"Starlight Return Pills and Nine-Turn Condense-Energy Pills complement each other—swallow both at once.

For the remaining resources, take them one after another."

"Understood." Xu Jingming didn't hesitate—he immediately followed Eva's instructions.

Boom—!!!

As he swallowed the two pills simultaneously.

A massive amount of Yuan Energy suddenly appeared within him and was absorbed by his body at incredible speed.

This Yuan Energy was originally intended for breaking through to the Stronghold realm, to shatter the bottleneck.

But now, because Xu Jingming's internal Yuan Energy had not yet reached its peak, it could only be absorbed by him.

This was undoubtedly a tremendous waste, but at this moment, he could no longer afford to care.

As Xu Jingming frantically accumulated Yuan Energy,

Evelyn and Charlotte had already met beyond the borders of Great Xia and immediately entered Great Xia's territory without concealment.

One was Starlight Rank Two, the other Starlight Rank One.

Massive war machines swept across Great Xia's skies; the aura naturally radiating from them was enough to make anyone feel nauseated.

"What's going on? Are U. S. and EU warplanes flying into Great Xia?"

"Were they reported? Is it not excessive to radiate aura so recklessly?"

"Something feels off—I checked, these two warplanes appear to be Evelyn and Charlotte's personal aircraft."

"Gah, impossible! Are the Strongholds of the U. S. and EU really entering Great Xia so brazenly?"

"......"

Their movements quickly sparked heated discussion across the entire Great Xia internet.

Worse still, some had already sensed something was wrong the moment they lost connection to foreign networks.

At this moment, the Ninth-Rank councilors still in Xia Meng were in panic.

"Evelyn, Charlotte! Two Strongholds have acted simultaneously!"

"This is disastrous—Great Xia is doomed!"

"Not necessarily—what if they've come to discuss how to rescue General Councilor Zhou?"

"......"

Numerous Ninth-Rank councilors debated, some in fear, others in dread.

Meanwhile, veteran Ninth-Rank figures like Cao Jun and Blood Sword stared coldly, already prepared for bloody combat.

"At their speed, it will take no more than ten minutes to reach Xia Meng from the border."

Upon hearing the news, Emerson's golden eyes shimmered with shifting light.

She was using her Eye of Fate to foresee the future.

But unfortunately, their ranks were too high—she could not predict their future path at all.

"Jingming......"

Su Qingli and Hearing Ling Shuang's fair faces were filled with worry.

Time swiftly passed, and another ten minutes went by.

Inside the sealed chamber, Xu Jingming, having consumed his fourth resource batch, opened his system panel again.

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Level】: Ninth-Rank Peak (+)

Looking at the plus sign after the level on the system panel,

he first froze, then broke into ecstatic delight.

Here it is! The level-up point option has finally appeared!

"Deep Blue, give me the points!"

Without hesitation, Xu Jingming focused his will and slammed down the level-up point option.
