Chapter 158: Two Hours Counts as Rest Too? Capital University's Secret Manual Delivered!

Defeating Zhong Dan was within Xu Jingming's expectations.

And this pure physical confrontation also made him realize.

His physique in normal state was roughly the same as a peak third-tier, A-rank Enhancement-type ability user.

If he activated Lei Ji stance, it would be a one-sided crushing.

"Uncle Fu, when's the earliest the teacher can come out?"

Xu Jingming asked the butler Uncle Fu.

"That's not certain. He might come out in a few hours, but it's also possible it'll be a few days later."

The butler Uncle Fu said thoughtfully, a faint smile on his face.

This kind of state where inspiration gushes forth was very rare, and he sincerely felt happy for this old friend of his.

"I see, alright. Then Uncle Fu, I'll be heading off first. Let the teacher know later."

Anyway, there was still over a month before going to the Lei Ting secret realm, so Xu Jingming wasn't in a rush to ask about it right now.

He bid farewell to the butler Uncle Fu, then turned and left.

Zhong Dan saw this and hurriedly followed.

"Brother Jingming, have you joined a club yet? If not, you could try joining the one I recently founded."

On the way, Zhong Dan asked with great enthusiasm.

Before Xu Jingming could respond, he began laying out his vision:

"I believe, with the two of us.

Our Azure Club will definitely beat down Ashen and kick Meteor, becoming the peak club of our Mo Da!"

"Azure Club? That's quite a good name."

Xu Jingming's sword brows rose slightly, then he shook his head. "Too bad, I've already joined Meteor Club."

"Oh? How much did Meteor Club give you? I'll offer double!" Zhong Dan said righteously.

"100 credits per semester, and 1 B-rank resource."

"Alright, my bad......"

Zhong Dan shrunk his head, backing down very quickly.

He had only founded the club on a whim in the first place.

Relying on his peak third-tier strength, he had indeed attracted quite a few students to join.

But after becoming president, he realized the difficulties of running a club.

Not only did he need to lead members to hunt fierce beasts in the wilderness zones, he also had to distribute benefits periodically.

As a peak third-tier ability user, his usual cultivation expenses were also very large.

Naturally, he couldn't possibly fork out so many credits and cultivation resources to invite Xu Jingming over.

Moreover, he didn't think his Azure Club would be more attractive than a peak club like Meteor Club.

But Zhong Dan's mind worked fast. He thought for a moment, then said:

"Then next time our club goes to the wilderness zone, can we invite you along?"

"Sure, 200 credits per trip."

Xu Jingming said with a beaming smile.

Although the study tour had ended, his student account had gained over 10,000 more credits.

But credits were something no one would complain about having more of.

"200 credits? That's a lot?"

"What, you want to freeload?"

"With the friendship between the two of us, talking about credits hurts the relationship too much."

Zhong Dan affectionately scooted over, trying to throw his arm around Xu Jingming's shoulder.

But Zhong Dan was only about 175 cm tall, and couldn't reach Xu Jingming's tall frame of 189 cm at all.

After trying without success, he could only sheepishly pull his right hand back.

"Friendship? Where did we get any friendship from?"

Xu Jingming was shocked, not expecting this Zhong Dan to be so thick-skinned.

"Ahem, just a joke, just a joke."

Zhong Dan, who had reached a fork in the road, gave a dry cough.

"But 200 credits per trip, I've noted that. When I really need it, I'll come find you."

After saying that, he turned around handsomely and walked off in another direction.

Xu Jingming watched his departing back, and a question suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Was 200 credits per trip too low?

"Tch, should've known to raise it to 300 credits per trip."

Shaking his head, Xu Jingming didn't pay it much mind.

Given Zhong Dan's freeloading personality, even at 200 credits per trip, he probably wouldn't be willing to pay.

When Xu Jingming returned to dormitory No. 32 in District 3.

On the first floor of the villa, Liu Wentao, who had arrived earlier, was already eating snacks and drinking beverages.

Lying comfortably on the sofa, watching video programs.

On the holographic projection screen, a female ability user with a long whip and a hot figure was darting through a herd of fierce beasts.

Every swing of her long whip would stir up a storm of blood.

Such a video that would absolutely be rated R-rated in a previous life, Liu Wentao was watching with great relish.

"Get me some too." Xu Jingming sat down beside Liu Wentao and got comfortable in a lazy sprawl.

"Brother Ming?"

Liu Wentao was startled, and quickly handed over the snacks in his hand: "Aren't you going to the training room on the second floor to train?"

"The study tour just ended, I need to rest too, don't I?"

Xu Jingming smiled, took a chip out of the snack bag, and bit down with a crunch.

Mm, cucumber flavor, very refreshing.

"You really should rest, but it's rare to see Brother Ming this relaxed."

Liu Wentao understood at once upon hearing this, then imitated Xu Jingming's posture and lay back against the sofa.

Don't mention it, this position is actually pretty comfortable!

Just like that, more than two hours quickly passed.

Just when Liu Wentao thought he would spend this comfortable and leisurely afternoon with Brother Ming.

Xu Jingming got up from the sofa: "Wentao, I'm heading up first."

"Brother Ming, you're not going to keep lying around?"

"Rested about enough, time to start training."

"That's enough rest already?"

Watching Xu Jingming's figure head up to the second floor, Liu Wentao was momentarily stunned.

So when you said rest well, you meant lying around for two hours?

That's way too easy to satisfy......

The Meteorite Club's cultivation experience exchange meeting began at six-thirty the next afternoon.

Six o'clock sharp the next afternoon.

When Xu Jingming in the training room on the second floor of the villa was preparing to head to Teaching Building No. 2.

He unexpectedly received a call from Vice Principal Hearing Ling Shuang.

"Jingming, the people from Capital University have already arrived.

The original copy of the S-rank top combat technique 'Lei Shen Zhi' you wanted was also sent over together.

Come to the Combat Technique Library to pick it up."

Vice Principal Hearing Ling Shuang's crisp, pleasant voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

"Right now?"

Xu Jingming was slightly taken aback.

The Combat Technique Library was about a twenty-plus-minute walk from the dormitory.

Even running, it would take seven or eight minutes.

Going now, he wouldn't make it in time for the Meteorite Club's cultivation experience exchange meeting.

Of course, which was more important, Xu Jingming could still tell.

Just as he was about to say he'd come right over, Vice Principal Hearing Ling Shuang's voice sounded again from the other end:

"You have other things to do? Forget it, then I'll come pick you up directly."

With that, a hum sounded.

In midair in the training room, space suddenly split apart, forming a spatial gate.

The next moment,

Vice Principal Hearing Ling Shuang's slender, captivating figure stepped out from the spatial gate.

She was wearing classical attire in the same style as yesterday, only changed from light black to bright red.

A head of black hair casually draped down her back, faintly revealing a fair neck.

Her delicate features, paired with a tear mole at the corner of her eye, gave her cool beauty a rich, lingering charm.

And her bare jade feet stepping in midair were even more crystalline and translucent, as smooth and supple as mutton-fat jade.

Such an image made Xu Jingming on the ground blink involuntarily, sighing inwardly.

This Vice Principal Hearing Ling Shuang, seemed to never really like wearing shoes......

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

Hearing Ling Shuang flew down from midair, grabbed Xu Jingming's shoulder, and stepped into the spatial gate once more.

Before Xu Jingming could carefully savor the taste of spatial traversal, he felt his consciousness blur.

When he came back to himself, he was already in the Combat Technique Library, in an antique-styled room.

Inside the room, there were four seats in total, and on one of them already sat a middle-aged man wearing a Tang suit.

"Chen Laoshi, this is our Demon University's S-rank Xu Jingming. Jingming, this is Chen Laoshi Lin from Capital University."

After Hearing Ling Shuang introduced them to each other, Xu Jingming respectfully called out:

"Hello, Chen Laoshi."

This Chen Laoshi Lin from Capital University had an aura much weaker than Teacher Yang Zhentian's.

But he was still stronger than the sixth-rank instructors at the school, probably a seventh-rank Grandmaster.

"Hello, Student Xu."

Chen Lin nodded slightly, but felt a bit surprised in his heart.

He knew Demon University's S-rank was highly valued, just hadn't expected.

That even a trip to the library required an eighth-rank Grandmaster who was vice principal to personally go pick him up.

Hearing Ling Shuang naturally didn't know Chen Lin had a misunderstanding, and just said softly to Xu Jingming:

"Chen Laoshi is a seventh-rank lower-position Grandmaster, also possesses lightning-type abilities, and has also mastered this 'Lei Shen Zhi' proficiently.

"Chen Laoshi will likely be staying here for about half a month. During this half month, you must learn and seek guidance from Chen Laoshi often."

"Alright, I understand."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

It had to be said, Beijing University's approach this time was quite generous.

Not only did they send a secret manual, they thoughtfully prepared a teaching instructor as well.

Only, the pity was, he didn't need a teacher to instruct him — he could just add points directly.

Of course, the surface effort still had to be done properly:

"Chen Laoshi, over the next half month, I may end up disturbing you quite a bit."

"No problem. Back when we were young, your teacher Yang Zhentian and I spent some time together in the same guild.

This time I came, besides delivering the combat technique manual to you, mainly to see an old friend as well."

Chen Lin said with a smile.

Of course,

he also didn't think half a month would be enough for Xu Jingming to learn this top-tier S-class combat technique.

After all, back then, as a sixth-tier ability user himself, he had spent a full three-plus months before he learned it.

Still, whether Xu Jingming could learn it was one question, and whether to teach was another.

His coming here in itself represented Beijing University's regard for Xu Jingming.
