Chapter 138: Lei Ting Form! Boss Phase Two?

At the upper level of second stage, Xu Jingming's Zi Xiao Shenlei could extend at most about 15 meters.

But after entering third stage, this range instantly doubled, reaching an astonishing 30 meters!

The arena was never large to begin with.

Thus, when Xu Jingming unleashed his Zi Xiao Shenlei, it created a terrifying scene resembling a thunderstorm zone.

Crackling—

Wild blue-purple lightning filled the arena, and the thin mist surrounding it was shaken violently by the strikes.

"Hmm? Just the burst of his ability has already reached the mist's limit?"

Vice Principal Jiang Mo was slightly surprised.

This mist could withstand attacks from an ordinary peak A-class third-stage ability user.

Yet unexpectedly, signs of its collapse had already appeared so early.

So he waved his right hand, pouring more ability into it, stabilizing the mist once more.

If the vice principal was merely surprised, the freshmen in the stands were utterly stunned!

Because they realized that even a single random flash of lightning on the arena.

Carried a terrifying energy aura capable of instantly killing them!

"Is this Xu Jingming of Magic University's S-class ability, Zi Xiao Shenlei? Indeed terrifying."

Many stared with difficulty at Xu Jingming, standing atop the arena like a Thunder God, wreathed in lightning.

We're all freshmen—how come you already have the power to kill us in one hit?

On the arena, Kiran, with his enhancement-class ability activated, could withstand the torrent of lightning.

But the stinging pain from the lightning striking his battle suit and penetrating his skin still made him frown slightly.

He had fought lightning-class ability users before, but when an S-class ability activated,

He himself became like a rubber insulator—lightning could barely harm him at all.

But Xu Jingming's lightning was different—it continuously eroded his body.

If he stayed in this lightning-saturated environment much longer, he would definitely lose!

"Looks like I need to end this quickly."

Kiran's gaze sharpened as he charged forward, sword raised.

Generally, lightning-class ability users avoid direct clashes with enhancement-class users.

Yet Xu Jingming showed no fear at all—he charged straight toward Kiran.

"Oh? You're not running away, but choosing to fight back?"

Kiran's expression turned mocking, "Then let you see the unmatched power of an enhancement-class ability user!"

Whoosh—

Kiran's greatsword slashed downward at incredible speed!

This strike used no battle technique at all—only speed! Utterly extreme speed!

Yet Xu Jingming's spear was even faster!

Before Kiran's greatsword could close in, Xu Jingming's spear was already about to pierce him!

One inch longer, one inch stronger!

The advantage of the spear was perfectly demonstrated here!

"Damn!"

Ordinary ability users, after swinging their blade, could not possibly defend in time.

But Kiran retracted his greatsword with an unbelievable motion, blocking it horizontally before his body.

Clang!

The sharp spear tip struck the broad blade surface.

The immense force transmitted through the blade made Kiran's expression flicker.

He could feel—Xu Jingming's strike carried force equal to his own!

But how was that possible?!

He was an ability user with an S-class enhancement ability!

After activating his ability, his strength should crush lightning-class users!

"You seem surprised?"

Xu Jingming, retracting his spear, smiled faintly:

"There's no law stating that lightning-class ability users must be weaker in strength than enhancement-class ones."

After absorbing the Beast Emperor's blood, his S-class body-strengthening technique, Lei Ting Bu Mie Shen, had reached the fourth level.

Remember, even his peak third-stage senior, Liu Ming, had only reached the third level.

And Xu Jingming had previously spent ability points to boost his physique.

Now, his bloodline value, representing physical strength, had surpassed the 2000-point threshold!

Matching Kiran in strength was therefore expected.

"Indeed, no law ever stated that..."

Kiran's mocking expression vanished entirely, replaced by unprecedented Solemn:

"I was going to play with you a bit, but now it seems I can't."

From yesterday's smartwatch records, he had already discovered Xu Jingming's spear technique had reached Master level!

His own sword technique, however, was only Advanced level.

He had planned to rely on brute force—using his S-class enhancement-class physique to overwhelm him.

But now both sides are evenly matched, and the spear naturally counters his great sword.

If this continues, he's bound to be crushed by Xu Jingming's master-level spear technique.

"Xu Jingming, you should be grateful I can defeat you with my full strength."

"Come, face your fear! Beast Lord Descends!"

Kilan let out a roar like a ferocious beast.

The next moment,

his violent blood qi erupted, forming an updraft!

Amid the surging blood qi, his towering frame, already over two meters, rose further—to two point two meters!!

His entire body swelled with muscle!

The horns thrusting from his head grew again, like a second development, twisting into demonic curves!

At the same time, his skin, rendered pale by his awakened ability, faintly radiated a sacred aura!

And the blue-purple lightning that filled the entire arena seemed to encounter sudden resistance.

It formed a vacuum zone around him!

"Xu Jingming, in this form, do you still dare to challenge me in raw strength?"

Kilan's face wore overwhelming confidence.

Beast Lord Descends! S-Class combat technique!

Applicable to cultivators with A-Class or higher enhancement-type beast abilities.

After releasing this technique, the ability is further strengthened!

The S-Class ability, Brahma Beast Lord, combined with the S-Class combat technique, formed Kilan's current formidable form.

And this, was his greatest advantage!

"Is this Kilan's full power? He looks incredibly strong!"

"Beast Lord Descends—I saw this technique in the school's combat technique library; it's an S-Class technique!"

"It's an S-Class technique? No wonder Kilan dared to issue a challenge."

"......"

On the spectator seats, the freshmen were murmuring; most were worried for Xu Jingming.

At the front row of the spectator seats, Vice President Xu Ping of Jingda.

And Kilan's mentor, Sharman, both had the same two words rise in their minds.

Safe!

Meanwhile, Vice President Ling Shuang in the center blinked her clear, large eyes—and suddenly remembered.

The head of the Weaponry Academy, Yang Zhentian, seemed to possess a similar S-Class technique.

As his disciple, Xu Jingming should know it too, right?

Just as she thought this, Xu Jingming's voice, faintly amused, came from the arena:

"Challenge me again in strength? Fine."

As his words faded, the crowd remained confused.

On the arena, the blue-purple lightning that had been raging suddenly blazed brighter.

Crackling—

Amid a thunderous roar like a thousand birds shrieking, lightning far denser than before erupted from around Xu Jingming.

Then, before the stunned gazes of the crowd,

Xu Jingming's height began to rise—soon reaching two point one meters!

Against the black battle suit, his upper body's near-perfect muscular contours were clearly revealed.

And Xu Jingming's clear, determined eyes were replaced by dragon-like vertical pupils wreathed in blue-purple lightning!

And unlike the aura he displayed when activating Thunder Extreme Mode in the Source Water Wasteland,

the aura emanating from Xu Jingming carried not only boundless brutality but also a faint air of nobility!

"What the hell? What's going on? I just looked at my phone, and now there are two monster bosses on the arena?"

One freshman stared wide-eyed, incredulous.

"Bro, these aren't monster bosses—they're Xu Jingming and Kilan entering their second stage."

Amid the shock, another freshman instinctively swallowed and replied.

"Still saying they're not bosses? They're already calling it 'second stage'!"

The freshman who spoke earlier muttered curses under his breath.
