Chapter 1382

Ye Li's instruction lasted a full day before ending.

When the slender figure of this cold and stunning senior sister vanished into the spatial ripples.

Xu Jingming finally exhaled deeply, rubbing his swollen temples.

During this day,

Ye Li not only thoroughly analyzed the introductory essentials of the Source Core Secret Scripture for him, but also pointed out numerous flaws in his cultivation path.

"No wonder she's a peak Eternal Life cultivator—her insight is truly sharp."

Recalling Ye Li's guidance, Xu Jingming's eyes sparkled with excitement.

According to Ye Li, the Source Core Secret Scripture is divided into nine levels; each ascent raises the cultivator's genetic tier and soul essence.

Although the first level is the most basic, it's enough to cause his power to surge dramatically!

"Just four or five more such sessions.

I should be able to grasp the Source Core Secret Scripture well enough to start allocating points."

Xu Jingming thought silently to himself.

The biggest problem now is Source Points.

Without Source Points, even the deepest understanding means nothing.

As for the three secret texts Ye Li recommended on Spear Intent—

"Initial Interpretation of Spear Intent," "Distinction Between Law and Intent," "Weapon Resonance"—he had already ordered them in the Virtual Universe.

Same problem: without Source Points, it's all empty talk.

"I must acquire Source Points as soon as possible."

Xu Jingming's gaze shifted to the table in the center of the room, where two exquisite metal boxes rested quietly.

These were the equipment delivered by the Academy Shangcheng: the S1-class Black Gold Thunder Prison Spear and the Sky Dome Battle Suit.

He stepped forward and lightly touched the identification device on the box's surface.

"Ding! Identity verified."

With a mechanical electronic chime, the lid automatically opened, revealing a full-length spear of deep purple.

The spear was about two point three meters long, its surface entwined with intricate secret patterns that shimmered mysteriously under the light.

Xu Jingming reached out and gripped the shaft, immediately sensing an odd sense of affinity.

"Crackle-popping—"

As the shriek of Lei Ting echoed, Doushen Shenlei surged into the spear.

He casually spun a spear flourish, and golden-black lightning naturally flowed, condensing at the tip.

"Great spear!" Xu Jingming's eyes gleamed slightly.

Compared to his previous Dark Abyss Spear, this S1-class spear amplified the Lightning Dao far more strongly and felt far more natural to wield.

The secret patterns on it could also store one combat technique below T3 level.

"Once I store Lei Guang Mie Shi Pao on it later,

in battle, suddenly unleashing this move will catch most opponents off guard."

Xu Jingming's lips curled slightly upward.

He already imagined the scene: enemies obliterated by this sudden Lei Guang Mie Shi Pao in the midst of combat.

"Spear acquired. Next, the battle suit."

He stored the spear in his space ring and opened the other box.

Inside was a seemingly lightweight black battle suit, yet its texture was extraordinarily resilient.

The suit's surface bore fine golden patterns forming complex protective secret arrays.

"Sky Dome Battle Suit..."

Xu Jingming removed his old combat uniform and donned this S1-class battle suit.

The suit automatically molded to his body's contours, its weight nearly negligible, yet giving him a solid sense of security.

He moved his limbs—no restriction from the suit at all.

Instead, he felt subtle energy flows, as if ready to repel lethal attacks at any moment.

"No wonder it costs 330,000 credits."

Xu Jingming nodded in satisfaction, "Equipment ready. Time to depart."

"Master, would you like me to arrange your route to the Tianfa Lei Jie?"

No. 1's holographic projection appeared in midair.

"Yes, depart immediately."

Xu Jingming strode out of the cultivation chamber.

Moments later, a dark golden Lei Guang shot skyward from Island F-001, racing toward the southern direction of the Star Dome Academy.

The entrance to the Tianfa Lei Jie lies in the southern region of the Star Dome Academy.

When Xu Jingming arrived, he saw a vast thunder pool.

The pool contained no water, but liquid-formed Lei Ting, churning and surging with deafening roars.

Dozens of academy staff maintained order around the pool, while further away, some students waited to enter the Tianfa Lei Jie.

"That's the entrance?"

Xu Jingming landed on the platform before the thunder pool and looked up.

Above the pool, a blue portal over a hundred meters in diameter hung silently, revealing flickering lightning and thunder within.

"I hope it doesn't disappoint me."

Shhh—

Xu Jingming transformed into a streak of dark golden Lei Guang and flew toward the blue light gate.

"Drip~~, identity verified."

Trainee Xu Jingming has 30 days of free access to the Tianfa Lei Jie.

After 30 days, each additional hour of stay deducts 150 points."

After verifying his identity at the entrance with the Cosmic-tier expert, Xu Jingming quickly stepped into the light gate.

Boom—!!

In the instant he passed through the light gate, Xu Jingming felt only blinding white before his eyes.

Immediately afterward, deafening thunder flooded his ears, and violent Lei Ting energy surged toward him!

He instinctively closed his eyes; when he opened them again, the sight before him made him hold his breath.

This was an endless realm of Lei Ting!

The sky held no sun, only churning thunderclouds, with millions of lightning bolts darting through the clouds like giant dragons.

On the ground, liquid lightning formed rivers and lakes, and even mountains composed entirely of pure Lei Ting!

The ambient Lei Ting energy was so dense it was visible to the naked eye, forming dazzling curtains of electric light.

"This… is the Tianfa Lei Jie?"

Xu Jingming took a deep breath, and instantly felt every pore of his body open, an indescribable sense of comfort.

His internal Lei Ting ability activated spontaneously; fine dark golden electric serpents began leaping across his skin.

"Let me try…"

Xu Jingming raised his right hand, and a strand of Jiemie Doushen Shenlei coalesced in his palm.

To his surprise, the power of this strand of Lei Ting was at least thirty percent stronger than outside!

"Indeed, this place grants a natural advantage to Lei Ting cultivators.

If one stays here long enough, even without deliberate cultivation, understanding of the Lei Ting Dao will deepen naturally."

As he marveled, a young man's holographic projection suddenly coalesced beside him, bowing respectfully:

"Welcome to the Tianfa Lei Jie!

The entire Tianfa Lei Jie is divided into three zones: the Cultivation Zone, the Storm Zone, and the Lei Beast Zone."

The young projection raised his hand, and a 3D holographic map unfolded between them.

"First, the Cultivation Zone, occupying 20% of the Tianfa Lei Jie's total area.

Here, Lei Ting energy is gentle and stable, ideal for low-tier cultivators to comprehend the Lei Ting Dao."

The map showed a vast plain, dotted with countless Gao Ta.

Each Gao Ta extended Lei Ting tendrils upward, connecting to the lightning descending from the sky.

"Combat is forbidden in the Cultivation Zone; each Yinlei Ta is an independent cultivation chamber.

The closer to the center, the purer the Lei Ting energy, and the better the comprehension effect."

The young projection pointed to a region at the map's edge that had turned violently chaotic: "This is the Storm Zone, occupying 30% of the area.

It is filled with naturally formed Lei Ting storms, with power ranging from Star-tier to Cosmic-tier — an ideal place to hone combat skills."

Xu Jingming saw thunder tornadoes dozens of kilometers in diameter ravaging the land, and narrowed his eyes.

This environment was indeed highly beneficial for Lei Ting martial artists.

"Finally, the Lei Beast Zone."

The projection pointed to a black mountain range at the northernmost edge of the map: "It occupies the remaining 50% of the Tianfa Lei Jie.

This region is the most dangerous: not only is Lei Ting rampant, but powerful Lei Beasts also dwell here.

Though killing them yields Lei Jing, newcomers entering the Tianfa Lei Jie for the first time are advised against going there."
