Chapter 1528: Long-Legged Senior Sister! Lin Qianxue!

"Everyone, line up!"

A resonant voice rang out.

That peak-of-the-universe powerhouse stepped through the air and arrived.

His gaze swept over the crowd as he said coldly, "Identity verification begins now! When your name is called, step forward!"

"Moore!"

"Beep beep!! Identity confirmed, Universe Tier-3, ordinary warrior, assigned to the 24th Battle Group."

"Kefang!"

"Beep beep!! Identity confirmed, Universe Tier-4, ordinary warrior, assigned to the 37th Battle Group."

"......"

Most of them were ordinary warriors, randomly assigned to various battle groups by the system.

When it was Noke's turn, he stepped forward brimming with confidence.

The scanner lit up green: "Beep! Identity confirmed, Universe Tier-4, elite warrior, free to choose any battle group."

"A Universe Tier-4 elite warrior!"

Envious gazes immediately gathered from all around.

Noke puffed out his chest, a look of smugness on his face.

"Worthy of you, Brother Noke!"

"Amazing! An elite warrior!"

Sophia and the others all chimed in with congratulations.

Noke basked in their flattery, his gaze sweeping toward Xu Jingming as he spoke again:

"Brother Xu, what do you say? I didn't fool you, did I? Why not come along with us?"

For an ordinary Universe Tier-1, he would never have been this attentive.

But he could read people well enough — the other's battle suit was clearly SSS-grade.

A Universe Tier-1 who could possess a battle suit of this caliber generally had some background.

He might well be a prince of some cosmic nation; pulling him in would naturally be even better.

"No need, I have my own arrangements," Xu Jingming said lightly.

A flash of displeasure crossed Noke's heart.

After inviting him again and again, he was still refused?

This guy really didn't know what was good for him.

Thinking of this, his expression also cooled somewhat:

"If Brother Xu has his own plans, then so be it."

"Xu Jingming!"

At this moment, it was Xu Jingming's turn for identity verification.

He stepped forward and pressed his hand onto the device.

"Beep—"

The scanner fell briefly silent.

Then, suddenly, a dazzling golden light flared up!

"Identity confirmed, Universe Tier-1, elite warrior, free to choose any battle group."

The mechanical voice echoed through the port district, several times louder than before!

"What?!"

The smile on Noke's face froze instantly.

Rein and Sophia were also dumbstruck.

Every warrior around turned to look in unison, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"A U-Universe Tier-1 elite warrior?"

"What kind of joke is this! How is that possible!"

"Does this mean the system judged his combat power to be at Universe Tier-6?"

"......"

A wave of murmuring rose like a tide.

That peak-of-the-universe officer was also somewhat surprised, then nodded:

"A Universe Tier-1 elite warrior — very good. The Extraterritorial Battlefield needs geniuses like you."

Xu Jingming was equally a little surprised.

But on second thought, the Cosmic Star Spirit Network was the cornerstone of the Virtual Universe.

He had once had his strength tested within the Virtual Universe.

Being certified as an elite warrior now was only natural.

Meanwhile, Noke beside him only felt his face burning painfully.

He had just been showing off his elite warrior status.

Yet in the blink of an eye, this newcomer he had assumed wouldn't amount to much turned out to be an elite warrior too.

What was more terrifying was that the other was only Universe Tier-1!

Just as Noke was hesitating over whether to set aside his pride and try to cozy up to Xu Jingming again—

A wave of barely suppressed commotion and low exclamations suddenly rose from the crowd ahead.

A group of five was walking toward them.

Three women and two men, all with deep, steady breaths and steps carrying the lethal aura of seasoned warriors.

And the woman at the front instantly drew the gaze of everyone.

She stood tall, at least one meter seventy-five.

A form-fitting black battle suit accentuated her curves with breathtaking intensity.

Most striking were her legs—long, straight, and rounded.

Encased in the black battle suit, their contours were sharply defined; each step seemed to tread upon the heart's tip.

Above, her waist was slender enough to be clasped in one hand; above that, her bust rose proudly.

And her face was coldly exquisite.

Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall down to her waist, her skin a cold white.

Her eyes were pale gold, and when they swept across, they carried a detached, superior indifference.

Together with her stunning beauty and commanding figure, they formed a deadly, contradictory allure—cold, exquisite, and powerful.

"Whoa… who is this woman?"

"Such a powerful aura—surely Cosmic Peak!"

"Those legs are insane—they're longer than my life!"

"......"

A hushed chorus of gasps and murmurs rose around them.

Many male warriors stared, transfixed, yet dared not look longer under that icy aura.

Only Nox froze for a moment, then his face flushed with ecstatic joy as he whispered in astonishment:

"It's the commander of the Ashen Warband, Lin Qianxue!"

The Ashen Warband!

Who on Planet 102 Fortress didn't know this elite warband?

Their commander, Lin Qianxue, was a legendary figure—Cosmic Peak!

A core member of the Eternal Star Alliance, ferociously powerful, once held her own against an Immortal Deity!

Nox's heart pounded wildly, his hands trembling with excitement.

His brother, Noa, served as a squad leader in the Ashen Warband.

He'd said he'd try to arrange someone to meet him, but he never imagined it would be the commander herself!

"My brother's amazing! He actually got the commander to come pick me up!"

Nox's heart burned with warmth, yet he felt puzzled: "But where's my brother?"

Doesn't matter!

The commander herself arriving—this was immense honor!

Nox straightened his battle suit, plastered on his brightest smile, and stepped forward to greet her.

Yet—

Lin Qianxue's gaze didn't linger on him for even an instant.

Those pale golden eyes passed straight through the crowd and settled on Xu Jingming.

Then, before everyone's stunned stares,

the warband commander famed for her cold, formidable presence,

slightly curved her lips, revealing the faintest smile—one that instantly melted the ice across her entire face.

"Little brother, you've come."

Her voice was cool, yet unmistakably warm.

Xu Jingming stepped forward immediately and bowed respectfully: "Senior sister."

He silently marveled inside.

He had long seen Lin Qianxue's holographic portrait in the Virtual Universe.

He knew this third senior sister possessed peerless beauty.

But now, seeing her in person, he realized the hologram fell short by a thousandfold.

Her figure was exquisitely proportioned, gracefully alluring.

Especially those legs—impossibly proportioned, perfectly contoured!

They were practically a human weapon!

Xu Jingming's women all had fine figures, yet none possessed legs so perfectly long and flawless.

It made the heart skip a beat without warning.

And this brief exchange between the two,

like a boulder crashing into a still lake, instantly sent waves crashing through the crowd.

"S... Senior brother?"

"Lin Qianxue is a core member of the Eternal Star Alliance—this man is her junior brother?!"

"No wonder! A Cosmic Stage One who's certified as an Elite Warrior—he must be a prodigy of the Star Dome Academy!"

"I knew it—no ordinary Cosmic Stage One could earn such a rating..."

"......"

A roar of astonishment erupted; countless eyes locked onto Xu Jingming.

Shock, envy, awe, curiosity—each emotion flickered across their faces.

Nox stood frozen, his smile utterly petrified.

So, Commander Lin hadn't come for him.
