Chapter 186: A-Class Fist Technique! Thunder Dragon Fist!

Thirty days, nearly a thousand enemies slain!

That means roughly thirty-three people killed each day!

For the students present, who had only hunted ferocious beasts and killed at most four or five people, this was nothing short of shocking.

"It seems the videos released on the school's website were merely the tip of the iceberg."

Someone murmured quietly to themselves.

On the school's website, Xu Jingming's videos were among the most viewed.

His combat style was also extremely ruthless, emphasizing one-strike kills.

Especially his precise headshots and the golden thunder that obliterated entire bodies.

It was this that let people witness Xu Jingming's brutality, earning him the nickname 'Lei Di'.

But now that his kill count has been revealed, everyone realized Xu Jingming was even more ruthless than they had imagined.

"Jingming, you killed so many Tianming Sect members?"

Yao Fang looked slightly surprised.

On her delicate oval face beside him, Shen Dongling also showed a look of keen interest.

She was a fourth-rank lower-tier adept, possessing a Strength-type A-level ability.

Her combat style was long known for its bloodiness, hence the nickname 'Blood Hand'.

Yet even so, over this past month, she had killed fewer than five hundred people...

"Not bad—just twice I happened to be assigned to Tianming Sect branches, so I killed a bit more."

Aside from the Jin Ning City mission, Xu Jingming later participated in another mission to eliminate a branch.

Unlike strengthening-type abilities, lightning-type abilities cleared out weaklings far more efficiently.

More than half of his nearly thousand kills came from these two missions.

After briefly explaining, Xu Jingming stepped out of the crowd to claim his reward.

"Xu Jingming, you are outstanding. Mo Da is honored to have you as a student."

The fifth-rank instructor smiled warmly and handed him a white porcelain bottle:

"Three thousand academic credits have been directly deposited into your student account.

This is your S-class cultivation resource: a bottle of sixth-rank Guiyuan Pills, containing ten pills total.

I hope you will continue striving to claim first place on the next Honor List."

"The student will do his best."

Although Xu Jingming would soon depart for the Thundering Secret Realm and would not remain at school to continue missions against the Tianming Sect,

under these circumstances, he naturally would not ruin the mood by speaking the truth.

After uttering a polite reply, he took the bottle and retreated back into the crowd.

"Sixth-rank Guiyuan Pills—this first-place reward is quite good."

As soon as Xu Jingming returned, Yao Fang smiled and said.

"Not bad." Xu Jingming nodded.

He had been at Mo Capital Adept University for over half a year.

He was no longer the naive freshman who had asked at the special recruitment event what an S-class cultivation resource was.

And these sixth-rank Guiyuan Pills, which greatly accelerate the cultivation speed of adepts below Master rank,

were among the better types of S-class cultivation resources.

"By the way, instead of working so hard on missions, you might as well just go with Song Qiuyun.

With the backing of the old, eighth-rank Master family from Sichuan Province, the Song family, why bother so much?"

Yao Fang teased.

Although Mo Capital Adept University had no official "campus beauty" rankings,

students always knew who the公认 beauties were.

There were countless threads on the student forum about them.

Among them, Song Qiuyun, whose figure and appearance were极品,

appeared on forum threads not long after enrollment and sparked heated discussion.

He had even heard rumors of her powerful background.

"I don't like living off women." Xu Jingming shook his head.

Living off women was nowhere near as satisfying as direct stat boosts from the Deep Blue System.

"Tsk, it's always the unattainable that stir desire, while the favored take their advantage for granted.

I'd love to live off women—but I don't have the conditions."

Yao Fang sighed and shook his head.

"Next is Kong Shi, who completed three S-class missions, four A-class missions, three B-class missions,

and killed 245 Tianming Sect disciples, ranking second on the Honor List!

Congratulations! You receive an S-class resource and two thousand academic credits!"

The instructor's voice echoed again in the hall.

At the same time, a young man with a face as hard as rock stepped forward from the crowd.

He was tall and powerfully built; Xu Jingming's height of one meter eighty-nine was already tall.

But this man stood half a head taller than Xu Jingming, nearly two meters in height!

"Iron Bear Kong Shi..."

Xu Jingming gazed solemnly at the towering figure.

If Yao Fang of Bingshan's strength was ranked among the top five in the entire school,

then this Iron Bear, who seemed on the verge of breaking through to the Fourth-Order Mid-tier, could basically be said to firmly hold first place!

Even more admirable was that Iron Bear Kong Shi had always acted alone.

He hadn't joined any clubs, nor did he have many friends.

Every day, aside from attending classes, he trained.

It seemed that only growing stronger was his sole goal.

"Third place on the Glory Leaderboard is Yao Fang, who completed 2 S-rank missions, 4 A-rank missions, and 5 B-rank missions!

Congratulations! You have received one S-rank resource, along with 1,500 credits!"

After Iron Bear left, Yao Fang, as the third-place finisher, immediately received his own reward as well.

What was worth mentioning was—

Although both were S-rank resource rewards, the one Yao Fang received was far inferior to Xu Jingming's sixth-grade Origin Returning Pill.

It could only be considered the most ordinary kind among S-rank cultivation resources.

And Bloody Hands Shen Dongling, ranked fourth on the Glory Leaderboard, only received an A-rank cultivation resource.

With the resource in hand, Xu Jingming didn't linger at the Mission Hall any longer.

After bidding farewell to Yao Fang and Shen Dongling, he headed to the Combat Technique Library.

"Eva, help me filter out all A-rank combat techniques of the lightning-type fist category."

In the private reading room,

Xu Jingming sat on the sofa and instructed the artificial intelligence Eva.

At the same time, he opened his system panel:

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Level】: Third-Order Mid-tier

【Ability】: Doushen Shenlei (SS)

【Physique】: 2523 Qi and Blood (+)

【Spirit】: 2014 Hz (+)

【Skills】: Spear Art (Master), Heavenly Thunder Art (Beginner+), Underworld Thunder Armor (Beginner+), Lei Shen Zhi (Beginner+), Fist Art (Advanced+), Lei Mao (Advanced+), Chain Thunder Spear (Intermediate+), Thunder Flash (Advanced+), Thunder Prison (Intermediate+), Lightning Gale Break (Master+), Breath Concealment Art (Advanced+)

【Body Tempering】: Lei Ting Immortal Body (Fourth Layer)

【Ability Points】:

Half a month ago, he had spent 17,000 ability points to raise his level to Third-Order Mid-tier.

In the following half month, his ability points had once again accumulated to over 11,000.

Additionally, during this month of fighting, he had followed his teacher Yang Zhentian's advice and tried to fight in a relatively casual manner.

So he basically hadn't used his long spear much, but instead used his fists—which were better at easing the bloodthirsty impulse in his heart—to finish kills.

Along the way, he also spent 300 ability points to raise his Fist Art from Intermediate to Advanced.

His emphasis on Fist Art was, on one hand, because using fists to fight better eased the side effects of cultivating the Lei Ting Immortal Body.

On the other hand, during the last study trip, the ability points on his system panel had accumulated to nearly 40,000.

Yet there was still no plus sign after Spear Art, which meant his Spear Art had hit a bottleneck.

In the short term, there was no way to advance from Master level to Grandmaster level.

Rather than continuing to use the long spear, he might as well try Fist Art more—after all, more skills never weigh one down.

Additionally, with the Lei Shen Zhi activated, his own physical body was already an extremely powerful weapon.

It would be a real shame not to pair it with Fist Art.

Of course, Xu Jingming also understood the principle that biting off more than one can chew will not digest well.

So recently, aside from adding points to Fist Art, he hadn't learned any fist-type combat techniques.

Now that his ability points were abundant again, it was worth considering learning one.

However, the ability point cost of learning an S-rank combat technique was too high, so he planned to learn an A-rank one first.

"Eva received it."

With a hum, the holographic projection on the table converged into a list of combat techniques:

【Five Thunder Fist Gang (A-rank): Uses lightning-type ability to condense special lightning gang qi on the fists, enhancing damage.

Thunderstorm Fist (A-rank): Compresses lightning-type ability on the fists, erupting upon striking the enemy and dealing massive damage.

......】

Looking at the combat technique list before him, Xu Jingming carefully selected and ultimately chose the technique best suited to him.

Thunder Dragon Fist (A-rank): Condenses lightning-type ability on the fists in a special structure, striking with lightning-like speed.
