Chapter 1120: Heading to the South Sea! Rampant Acquisition of Ability Points!

Xu Jingming did not linger long in the sea of congratulations.

He immediately flew over to Emma's side.

At this moment, Emma still maintained her elegant posture.

But her face was deathly pale, her breath faint—clearly due to severe mental exhaustion.

"Teacher, you've worked hard." Xu Jingming bowed deeply with solemn expression.

Without Emma buying time, his breakthrough would never have gone this smoothly.

"As long as you reached the peak, it was all worth it."

Looking at Xu Jingming before her, Emma couldn't help but smile with relief.

Just as she was about to speak further, she suddenly felt dizzy and lost her aerial balance.

As she began to plummet from midair, Xu Jingming moved instantly.

Left arm around her back, right arm cradling those long, beautiful legs, he held her slender body firmly.

Looking down, he saw her eyes half-closed, brows tightly furrowed—as if enduring immense pain.

Having once received Zachary's inheritance, Xu Jingming was essentially a half-fledged mentalist master.

He recognized at a glance that Emma's brain had automatically entered protective shutdown due to extreme mental depletion.

Remember, Emma was a Starlight Rank One powerhouse—yet her mental energy had been drained to the point of fainting.

This alone proved how fierce and dangerous the battle had been.

"Evelyn!"

Xu Jingming's eyes burned with furious flame.

Too bad his strength still wasn't enough—if it had been, he would have taken Evelyn down right then!

"Once I rescue Brother Zhou, I'll go to America and settle the score with her!"

He snorted coldly, then landed on the ground, still holding Emma.

"Jingming, is Sister Emma alright?"

As soon as he landed, Su Qingli and Ling Shuang hurried over, concerned.

"Nothing serious—just mental exhaustion."

Xu Jingming shook his head and ordered, "Zhang Ting, I entrust my teacher to you—treat her injuries."

At his words, a middle-aged woman stepped forward from the ranks of the Ninth-Rank Councilors and bowed respectfully: "Yes, my lord."

This Zhang Ting possessed a supportive healing ability, and mental exhaustion like this was well within her capacity to heal.

He personally carried Emma to the medical room's bed and handed her over to Zhang Ting for treatment.

After ensuring Su Qingli and Ling Shuang stayed by her side, Xu Jingming returned to the Xia Meng hall.

At this moment, including Xue Jian and Cao Jun,

every Ninth-Rank member gazed at Xu Jingming with burning eyes, waiting for his orders.

"I know what you're thinking."

Xu Jingming smiled at them. "Have your legions prepare. I'm heading to the South Sea first."

"Once I rescue Brother Zhou, we can move to take over the EU."

With Charlotte dead, the EU had become a disorganized mess.

To not return a favor is impolite—he would naturally claim the EU for himself.

"Yes!" The Ninth-Ranks nodded eagerly, their expressions alight.

The EU was one of the Six Great Powers of Blue Planet!

If they seized the EU, Xia's foundation and potential would surge dramatically!

Having made his decision, Xu Jingming unfurled his Thunder Dragon Wings, left Xia Meng, and flew toward the South Sea.

Whoosh—

His speed surged continuously, like a streak of lightning.

Nine times the speed of sound, ten times, rising all the way to twenty times the speed of sound before halting!

"Thrilling!" Xu Jingming burst into laughter.

This was still his normal form—if he activated Lei Shen Form, his flight speed would be even faster!

'Shenlan!'

He silently murmured, and a pale blue system interface instantly appeared in his mind.

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Level】: Starlight Rank One

【Ability】: Chaos Divine Thunder (SSS-Rank), Ancient Primordial Azure Dragon (SSS-Rank)

【Physique】: 20,134,000 Qi (+)

【Mental】: 20,111,000 Hz (+)

【Skills】: Gunplay (Perfected), Fist Technique (Master+), Starlight Thunder (SSR-Rank, Beginner+), Thunder Roar Thousand Blades Kill (SSR-Rank, Perfected)...

【Body Cultivation】: Threefold Divine Thunder Indestructible Body (SSR-Rank, Level Eleven)

【Mind Cultivation】: Star Observation Method (SSR-Rank, Level Five)

【Domain】: Thunder Domain (Level Five)

【Ability Points】: 12,000

After breaking through to Peak Strength, his base attributes underwent an unprecedented surge!

They leapt directly from three million to over twenty million!

Moreover, the effects of these SSR-Rank resources were simply too potent.

After breaking through, he still had ten million ability points, and directly upgraded his Lightning Domain from Level 4 to Level 5!

"Evelyn's Light Domain is at Level 7; mine is two levels lower than hers."

"But I can suppress it thanks to my two SSS-rank abilities."

"Besides, Teacher Emos has drained much of her ability and stamina."

"If Evelyn were at full strength, it's still uncertain who would win..."

Xu Jingming silently pondered in his heart.

His greatest weakness right now was his Domain!

Logically, at Starlight Stage One, one should at least possess a Level 6 Domain.

"But for me right now, upgrading my Domain is ridiculously easy."

Xu Jingming smiled.

With his current combat power, he no longer needed to worry about the Beast Gods stepping in.

That meant the countless beasts living across the entire ocean were walking ability points.

Easy to harvest!

This time, he did not let Ling Shuang accompany him to the South Sea.

On one hand, he would soon be fighting Beast Gods, and Ling Shuang accompanying him might put her in danger.

On the other hand, he no longer needed Ling Shuang's Spatial Teleportation.

He would cross the entire South Sea directly, hunting beasts and harvesting ability points!

'My Domain is my weakness; all ability points gained this time will be prioritized for upgrading my Domain!'

Whoosh—

Xu Jingming accelerated again.

In less than two minutes, he left Daya's territory and entered the South Sea.

He did not know where Zhou Yuanwu was hiding in the South Sea, but that was not a problem.

From the time Zhou Yuanwu was wounded to the moment he defeated Evelyn and the others, only three and a half hours had passed.

At this moment, the two Beast Gods—Fei Huang and Di Xie—were surely still searching for Zhou Yuanwu's trail.

If he found those two Beast Gods, he would effectively find Zhou Yuanwu.

Upon entering the South Sea, Xu Jingming slowed his speed to one times the speed of sound.

Simultaneously, he continuously released his Chaos Divine Thunder, striking into the seawater.

'Ding, slain one Level 3 Lower-tier Fangtooth Sea Snake, ability points +34.'

'Ding, slain one Level 3 Upper-tier Water Sword Fish, ability points +45.'

'Ding, slain one Level 4 Lower-tier Sawtooth Shark, ability points +211.'

'......'

The ocean was the beasts' nest.

Almost the instant he released his ability, a flood of system notifications appeared in his mind.

In less than an hour of flight, he had already gained over five million ability points.

"With this speed, if I stay in the South Sea for just one day, I can accumulate over a hundred million ability points!"

Xu Jingming's face lit up with ecstatic joy, when suddenly Eva's voice echoed in his mind.

"S-rank, I've detected the trail of those two Beast Gods! Southwest direction!"

"Oh?"

Xu Jingming's eyes brightened, but he did not set off immediately.

Zhou Yuanwu had a survival trump card; he was not in immediate danger.

And he currently lacked the confidence to kill the Starlight Stage Two Beast God.

If so, it was better to first hunt beasts and accumulate enough ability points.

Then go over after patching up his Domain weakness.
