Chapter 1127

Although it wasn't the first time he'd seen Xu Jingming use enslavement techniques.

Yet when the EU's array of ninth-rankers bowed respectfully to Xu Jingming, Cao Jun and the others still felt stunned.

He's a lightning-element adept, yet he wields mental combat techniques so effortlessly.

"The Great Xia Army will enter your EU territory in half a day."

"You are to accommodate them and replace them in key positions."

Xu Jingming instructed.

"Understood."

Henry, the leader, nodded, then asked curiously:

"Master, why aren't you worried that the EU's supreme powerhouses will act against you?"

"Two days ago, he chased after Eveleen to strike Great Xia—I killed him." Xu Jingming said coolly.

"I see."

Henry understood, his eyes showing no anger; his sister Freya snorted coldly: "Daring to strike at the Master? He deserved to die!"

"This enslavement technique is truly miraculous—it can alter minds instantly, making you the master."

Su Qingli exclaimed in wonder.

Speaking of which, among the current supreme powerhouses of Blue Star:

Most have broken through via enhancement or elemental abilities, yet not a single mental-element adept exists.

This means they have no understanding of what mental-element supreme powerhouses can do.

But now, before Xu Jingming, they caught a glimpse of such terror.

"Master, you don't know—we have mental defense techniques too."

Ordinary mental enslavement methods are useless against us."

"It's just that the Master's technique is too powerful—we cannot resist."

Freya said gently.

This is the terror of the Slave Heart Seal.

Their memories remain unchanged, yet their thoughts now revolve around Xu Jingming—no resentment remains.

"I hold no grudge against you. I simply cut through the chaos with a swift blade."

"When the situation stabilizes, perhaps one day you'll regain your freedom."

Xu Jingming spoke.

He spoke the truth.

After all, we are all human. If there is no hatred, he had no wish to slaughter the innocent.

"Thank you, Master!"

Henry and the other EU ninth-rankers' faces lit up; they bowed in unison.

Next,

Xu Jingming, Su Qingli, and Hearing Ling Shuang, led by the Barton siblings, headed for the EU Treasury.

As for the rest—Cao Jun and the others—followed other EU ninth-rankers to prepare for taking over EU affairs.

"This is our EU Treasury."

"But only Charlotte has access permission—we cannot enter."

Under the Barton siblings' guidance, Xu Jingming's group arrived before a massive alloy door deep underground.

"No need."

Xu Jingming shook his head; SSS-grade Chaos Thunder surged forth.

It coalesced into a black thunderous greatsword, slicing through the alloy door as easily as through tofu.

This door, forged entirely of SSR-grade alloy, might block ninth-rank adepts.

But to him, it posed no challenge.

Soon, a small opening was cut through the twenty-centimeter-thick alloy door.

With a shrill alarm, the small door crashed down!

Before Xu Jingming's eyes appeared a subterranean space over a kilometer wide and six to seven meters high.

On the ground stood racks, each lined with countless resources that looked immensely valuable.

"This is the EU Treasury!"

Xu Jingming's eyes gleamed, "Eveleen, inventory the resources!"

As one of Blue Star's six major powers, the EU Treasury's resources may not match Great Xia's, but they shouldn't be far behind.

"No need to inventory—I've already hacked into the EU's internal network."

Eveleen's holographic projection chuckled, "The Treasury holds 18 SSR-grade resources."

"54 SSS-grade resources, 265 SS-grade resources, 1,056 S-grade resources."

"Plus many ungraded resources, equally rare."

"Oh?"

Xu Jingming's eyes brightened slightly, "Formulate upgrade plans for Su Laoshi and the others based on these resources."

To reach supreme powerhouse, ordinary SSR-grade resources are useless to him.

Even these SSR-grade resources are less efficient than hunting beasts for ability points.

But if he doesn't need them, that doesn't mean Su Qingli and the others don't.

Especially Hearing Ling Shuang.

To imprison the Magma Beast without the Meltcore Blood Dragon noticing, they must rely on her space-element ability.

Under these circumstances, Ling Shuang's rank should naturally be as high as possible.

"Got it."

Just a few seconds later, Eva compiled a plan:

"Eighteen SSR-grade resources, many of which can be used immediately by Su Laoshi and Teacher Ling."

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan's ranks are too low to use SSR-grade resources yet, but they can be set aside for now."

With this combination of resources, Su Laoshi, you can break through to Ninth Rank Upper within half a year."

Teacher Ling should also be able to break through to Ninth Rank Upper within a year."

As for Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan, to reach Ninth Rank, given current resources, they'll likely need another two to three years."

"Break through to Ninth Rank Upper so quickly?" Su Qingli and Ling Shuang stared in shock.

Such a breakthrough speed was beyond what they had ever dared to imagine.

"Of course—this is a collection of resources gathered from an entire nation, over a billion people."

Supporting the four of you is more than sufficient."

Of course, this also relates to your SS-rank abilities and your cultivation of the Gene-Origin Energy Cultivation Art."

This cultivation art is considered quite excellent even across the universe."

During cultivation, your physical bodies will be subtly enhanced."

"So that's why, after switching to the Gene-Origin Energy Cultivation Art, my blood qi has grown much faster than before."

Su Qingli suddenly understood, while Xu Jingming asked curiously, "Eva, do you have any higher-grade Origin Energy cultivation arts?"

"There are some, but they're unsuitable for your cultivation—more precisely, unsuitable for your environment."

Eva shook her head softly. "Your solar system is among the most remote regions even within the Milky Way."

Origin Energy is scarce here; the Gene-Origin Energy Cultivation Art's tenfold absorption rate is already the absolute limit."

Even if I gave you a higher-grade cultivation art, you still couldn't increase your Origin Energy absorption speed further."

"I see. That's a shame."

Xu Jingming felt a pang of regret, then swept his hand and gathered all the national treasury's resources into his space ring.

Eva's designated resources for Su Qingli and the other three women were separated out; the rest were piled to one side.

Once back in Great Xia, they could be directly stored in Great Xia's resource depot.

"Jingming, where do we go next?"

Looking at the empty EU treasury, Su Qingli asked softly.

"The United States."

Xu Jingming's gaze turned icy. "It's time to settle accounts with Evelyn."

The United States is one of the two poles among the six giant nations of Blue Star. Taking the United States will surely yield even more resources...
