Chapter 1228: H powerful Bloodline Technique! Aghast Emers and Her Two Companions!

The night was deep, starlight streaming through the villa's floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a silver sheen over the room.

Xu Jingming sat bare-chested in the center of the training chamber, surrounded by faint black Lei Guang.

His muscular contours were sharp, every inch brimming with explosive power.

Faint red marks still lingered on his skin—the traces of their earlier passionate delight.

The training chamber was silent, broken only by his steady breathing echoing through the air.

The bloodline optimization from the Zi Yan Mo Ti had greatly accelerated the circulation of his Yuan energy.

Inside his body, Yuan energy surged like rivers, scouring every meridian.

He closed his eyes and focused, silently whispering, "Deep Blue."

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Level】: Starlight Stage 7

【Ability】: Shi Ri Doushen Shenlei (T7+)

【Physique】: 2.44 billion Qi (+)

【Spirit】: 2.46 billion He (+)

【Skills】: Lei Ji Shenying (T7, Beginner+), Lei Fa Shu (T7, Beginner+)......

【Body Cultivation】: Zi Xiao Lei Wen Shen (T7, Seventh Layer+)

【Spirit Cultivation】: Xing He Mingfa (T7, Seventh Layer+)

【Domain】: Lei Dian Domain (Fifteenth Layer+), Destruction Domain (Eighth Layer+)

【Manifestation】: Lei Yuan Shi Ri Xiang (Advanced)

【Bloodline】: Lei Yu E Mo (Zi Yan Mo Dian T0, First Layer)

【Source Points】: 145,000

Since he last obtained the Sovereign-level inheritance and formed the Zi Yan Mo Ti.

A bloodline option had appeared on his system panel.

Simultaneously, his physique and spiritual power had surged by 300 million attribute points due to the Sovereign-level demon bloodline.

This also significantly improved his efficiency in hunting beasts and acquiring Source Points.

In just eight days, he had once again accumulated 140,000 Source Points.

"Basic attributes are secondary—the bloodline has also granted me deeper insight into the Laws."

Xu Jingming's eyes gleamed with sharp light.

The Lei Dian Law seed bestowed upon him by Master Lu Wen allowed him to comprehend the Lei Dian Law far more easily.

If that effect had been five times his own natural insight, then after obtaining the demon bloodline,

his comprehension of both the Lei Dian Law and the Destruction Law had increased more than tenfold!

This was the terrifying power of a T0-level bloodline technique!

It enhanced every aspect of his strength—even his insight.

"If that's the case, then whether I invest points into the Lei Dian Domain or the Destruction Domain, it should be easier than before."

Xu Jingming's mind stirred, and he directly clicked the point-allocation option on his system panel.

Source Points -15,000!

Lei Dian Domain Fifteenth Layer → Lei Dian Domain Sixteenth Layer!

Source Points -26,000!

Lei Dian Domain Sixteenth Layer → Lei Dian Domain Seventeenth Layer!

Source Points -30,000!

Destruction Domain Eighth Layer → Destruction Domain Ninth Layer!

Source Points -60,000!

Destruction Domain Ninth Layer → Destruction Domain Tenth Layer!

Crackling—

Black Lei Guang flickered, and in an instant, Xu Jingming's Lei Dian Domain surged two layers higher.

Only one layer remained to reach the Eighteenth Layer of the Lei Dian Domain, completing it.

The Destruction Domain had also risen two layers consecutively.

"Last time, raising the Lei Dian Domain from Fourteenth to Fifteenth Layer cost me 50,000 Source Points.

Last time, raising the Destruction Domain from Seventh to Eighth Layer cost me 40,000 Source Points.

But now, the Source Points required to continue upgrading have actually decreased.

Clearly, bloodline enhancement reduces point-allocation costs!"

Xu Jingming's heart swelled with joy.

No wonder it was a T0-level bloodline technique—the effects were astonishing!

"If I return to the Abyss Arena, perhaps I can now attempt to challenge the Abyss King rank."

Xu Jingming thought to himself.

Suddenly, the training chamber door was gently pushed open, and a faint, intoxicating fragrance drifted in.

Xu Jingming didn't need to turn around—he knew who it was; he was already familiar with Emers's body scent.

Indeed, Emers walked in.

Barefoot, she stepped softly on the plush carpet, her long hair cascading over her shoulders.

She wore only a sheer silk robe, thin as a cicada's wing, revealing the subtle curves beneath.

"Jingming, are you training again?"

Aimer's voice was soft, with a hint of laziness, as if she hadn't fully recovered yet.

"What, wasn't enough just now?"

A faint smile flickered in Xu Jingming's eyes.

"Who made you so powerful... all of us together couldn't handle you."

Aimer's cheeks flushed slightly as she gave a light huff.

She walked over and sat beside Xu Jingming, her long legs crossed, the slit in her robe revealing Bai Xi skin.

"Shall we try again?"

Xu Jingming reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into his arms, then whispered softly into her ear.

"No, no—I'm afraid I'll lose consciousness again."

Aimer quickly waved her hands, still shaken.

She never imagined that a full-fledged Starlight Stage Two cultivator like herself could be reduced to such a state...

"By the way, I heard you're about to join the Sacred Ground Exchange Competition?" she hurriedly changed the subject.

"Oh? Even you heard about this?" Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow.

"Of course I did."

Aimer puffed out her chest proudly. "The Sacred Ground Exchange Competition is a major event—everyone in the Imperial Academy is talking about it right now."

Then she added, with concern: "But there are some nasty attacks aimed at you..."

"What, don't you trust me? When have you ever seen me do something without confidence?"

Xu Jingming chuckled and pinched her nose.

"But this time is different.

I heard the prodigies from other imperial Sacred Grounds are extremely strong—even some have nearly reached the Perfect Realm."

Aimer blinked her pale golden eyes seriously.

"So what if they're nearly perfect?"

Xu Jingming's eyes gleamed with pride. "To me, they're nothing but paper tigers and clay dogs."

He wasn't boasting.

The Purple Nightmare Demon Body granted him extraordinary combat power, and with his newly acquired Lightning Domain, under the Starlight Stage, he feared no one.

"Then you must be careful—we're all waiting for you to come back."

Seeing his confidence, Aimer's worries eased considerably.

She leaned against his shoulder and whispered.

"Don't worry—it's just an exchange competition. When I return, I'll bring you specialties from the Lingshu Empire."

Xu Jingming kissed her pure white forehead.

As they spoke, the door to the cultivation chamber opened again.

Hearing Ling Shuang stepped in barefoot, her tear-shaped mole beside her eye glowing like an ink drop under the light, adding threefold allure to her cold beauty.

Behind her, Su Qingli stood silently.

Though utterly naked, her icy aura seemed draped in frost and snow.

Yet her usually cold eyes now shimmered with gentle ripples.

Since there were no outsiders in the villa, the two women had simply gone bare-skinned.

Seeing Xu Jingming and Aimer in such an intimate pose, Hearing Ling Shuang's lips curled slightly:

"Looks like we came at a bad time?"

"No—you came at the perfect time."

Xu Jingming smiled faintly and opened his arms.

"You're so greedy."

Hearing Ling Shuang gave him a sultry glance.

Yet she still walked over with her round, slender legs and sat beside him.

Hearing Ling Shuang leaned directly against his other shoulder, while Su Qingli obediently rested slightly lower down.

"I didn't have time earlier—take these first."

Xu Jingming pulled out several exquisite jade boxes from his space ring and handed one to each woman:

"These are resources I bought on Black Stone Star—they should help your cultivation."

Aimer opened her box and gasped: "This is... a Starlight-grade energy core?!"

"These are C-grade cultivation pills!"

Hearing Ling Shuang and Su Qingli, upon opening their boxes, also showed expressions of surprise.

Resources of this caliber are hard to obtain even at the Imperial Academy.

"Jingming, you need vast resources for your own cultivation.

Don't think of us right now—we can find our own resources."

Aimer said hesitantly.

Xu Jingming waved his hand and smiled: "It's nothing to me. The higher your strength, the more at ease I'll be."

Then he took out another space ring and handed it to Aimer:

"Inside are cultivation resources prepared for Leng Yuexi, Catherine, and the others—worth roughly 60 billion Noa Coins.

Also, I've transferred 1 billion Noa Coins into each of your accounts—this should last you a while."

Aimer, Hearing Ling Shuang, Su Qingli, Leng Yuexi, Leng Yuchan, Catherine, Song Qiuyun, Jiang Chuxuan, Sakura Rin.

These nine were the only ones who came with him to the Imperial Academy—totaling only 9 billion, which meant little to him.

And Emmes, nestled in his arms, had been utterly stunned.

How much?

Sixty billion? Did I hear that right?
