Chapter 189: A Tremendous Gap! Clearly, I'm a Genius Too!

The final exams of Modu Ability University will be completed uniformly tomorrow, January 17th.

In addition to the basic assessment of fierce beast knowledge, there are also practical combat assessments in various aspects.

Modu University does not normally impose much restraint on its students, and there is no roll call or sign-in during class, but the final exams are terrifyingly strict.

Once a student fails three courses consecutively, they will receive a demerit.

If they continue to fail in the second semester, they will face expulsion.

The reasoning is also very simple.

The free resources Modu Ability University distributes to its students every year alone amount to an astronomical figure.

Modu University is not some charity.

You take the resources but don't work hard — if we don't eliminate you, then who?

This way, a portion of resources can also be freed up for other students.

Therefore, even outstanding students of Modu University do not dare to relax or slack off in the slightest when facing the final exams.

Of course,

This final exam is nothing much for Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan either.

Song Qiuyun broke through to Lower Second Rank some time ago and has now entered Mid Second Rank.

One must know,

Among the freshmen of Modu University, students who have reached Second Rank can be counted on one hand.

Song Qiuyun can be said to be the strongest freshman besides Xu Jingming.

And Jiang Chuxuan has also broken through from Mid Second Rank to Upper Second Rank, so she doesn't need to worry about the final exam.

Coming to find him now, claiming to prepare for the final exam is fake; the real purpose is sparring practice.

Xu Jingming naturally knew this, but since he was free anyway, he treated it as a warm-up training and did not refuse:

"Alright, then I won't use my spear, just my hands will do."

"Jingming, you don't need to wear battle armor?"

Inside the training room,

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan stood together, while Xu Jingming stood opposite them, 8 meters away.

Unlike the two women who were fully armed, Xu Jingming was only wearing a loose training suit.

Even so, one could still feel the sense of power hidden beneath this training suit.

This sense of power merged with the sacred aura brought by the SS-grade ability Doushen Shenlei, forming a tremendous oppressive force.

But blades and swords have no eyes, so Song Qiuyun could not help but part her red lips slightly and offer a reminder.

"No need, you can't hit me anyway." Xu Jingming shook his head.

Even if they did hit him, it wouldn't matter, given the formidable physique of his Thunderous Indestructible Body at the fourth level.

They were merely two Second Rank ability users; it would be very hard for them to break through his defense.

"Jingming, junior, do you know you look very punchable right now?"

Jiang Chuxuan raised her willow brows slightly, took out a black hair tie from her spatial ring.

She tied her silver-white hair behind her into a high ponytail, then took out a longsword and entered combat mode.

"Sister Chu Xuan, it seems we have to teach him a lesson. Come, let's begin!"

Song Qiuyun's Fangtian Huaji was already in hand, wrapped in the A-grade ability Dawn Light.

She looked like a goddess of light, holy and elegant.

However, before she could launch her attack, the figure not far away merely took a single step.

Accompanied by flickering Lei Guang, the tall figure suddenly appeared right before her eyes.

Filling her entire field of vision.

This was too fast!

Song Qiuyun, who had fought alongside Xu Jingming and carried out Tianming Sect missions, naturally knew Xu Jingming was very fast.

But when truly facing such speed, only then did Song Qiuyun realize what kind of oppressive force this was.

She couldn't even react in time, and could only, driven by instinct, raise her Fangtian Huaji and hold it horizontally in front of her.

But it was too slow!

Xu Jingming's large hand, wreathed in terrifying golden Lei Ting, had already pierced through the barrier of Dawn Light.

Pressing against her fair forehead, only a few millimeters away.

With just a slight exertion of force, she would perish.

"This......"

Only at this moment did Jiang Chu Xuan, standing to the side, react, her rosy little mouth slightly parting.

Being taken down in the blink of an eye — this was simply not a battle on the same level at all.

She could even imagine that if it were on a real battlefield,

Xu Jingming wouldn't hold back at all; he would kill Song Qiuyun, and before she could even react, she herself would be instantly killed as well.

Song Qiuyun was also somewhat dumbfounded.

She knew Xu Jingming was very strong, but she hadn't expected him to already be this strong.

So much so that a tremendous sense of disparity welled up in her heart.

Clearly, she was a genius too, yet before Xu Jingming, she was like an ordinary small fry.

"Going all-out won't have any training effect. How about this — I'll suppress my strength to Lower Second Rank, then fight you."

Xu Jingming also realized this seemed a bit too bullying, so he took the initiative to suppress his own strength.

As the top scorer of Sichuan Province and the second-ranked freshman, Song Qiuyun naturally had her own pride.

But Xu Jingming's earlier assault had already completely shattered her pride.

So she didn't stop him, just took a deep breath and said seriously:

"Alright."

After Xu Jingming suppressed his strength to the lower tier of second rank, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan immediately felt the pressure drop sharply.

But even so, without using his spear, fighting only with his fists, Xu Jingming was still pressing the two of them.

Especially the golden Lei Ting that constantly swirled around him made the two of them find it extremely troublesome.

After all,

the two of them—one possessed an A-rank ability, Dawn Light, the other possessed an A-rank ability, Frost Snow Soul.

Their ranks were also one at mid second rank, one at upper second rank.

Logically, it should have been very easy to break through Xu Jingming's Lei Ting defense, which he had suppressed to lower second rank.

But the reality was the exact opposite—the constantly surging golden Lei Ting forced their abilities to stay on the defensive just to avoid being harmed.

This couldn't help but make them privately sigh over how freakish an SS-rank ability was.

That's right,

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan both knew Xu Jingming's ability had evolved to SS-rank, but neither of them had spread the word.

The battle continued, and it was basically Xu Jingming's one-sided domination.

However, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan weren't completely without gains.

The high-intensity combat let them discover many flaws in their techniques.

Even the timing of their combat-skill releases had problems.

What was supposed to be a sparring match had turned into instructive real-combat training.

"Hoo, hoo......"

An hour later, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan collapsed powerlessly on the ground, drenched in sweat.

As if they had just been fished out of a river.

This caused their already tight battle suits to cling to them like a second skin.

Perfectly outlining the two women's breathtaking figures.

The high-intensity combat had already squeezed out the last drop of strength in their bodies.

But Xu Jingming across from them still stood tall and straight.

Over an hour of fighting had only made him break a little sweat; even his breathing rhythm remained steady.

Does this guy never get tired?

During the study tour's sparring, Song Qiuyun had already witnessed Xu Jingming's astonishing stamina.

But this time, the combat intensity was several times higher than last time!

Yet Xu Jingming still performed exactly the same, which couldn't help making Song Qiuyun question her life a little.

Coming from an eighth-rank Grandmaster family, as the direct great-granddaughter of that old ancestor, she had been showered with love and adoration since birth.

From childhood, her family had nourished her body with all sorts of side-effect-free medicinal baths and heavenly treasures.

After growing up, although her physique couldn't compare to enhancement-type ability users, it was still quite good.

And now......

The physique she took pride in seemed worthless and pitifully weak before Xu Jingming.

No, it's not that I'm too weak—it's that Xu Jingming is too strong!

Song Qiuyun suddenly realized.

Although she came from an eighth-rank Grandmaster family, Xu Jingming, who possessed an SS-rank ability, was destined to be extraordinary.

She, who only possessed an A-rank ability, perhaps should never have compared herself to him from the very start.

Thinking of this, Song Qiuyun finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"The ones I should be comparing myself to are the other A-rank ability freshmen.

There's a practical combat exam in tomorrow's final assessment—I need to pick a target.

I recall that guy Li Chengzhi seems to have recently broken through to mid second rank too.

And he provoked Jingming before, so tomorrow I'll pick him as my practical combat target......"

Song Qiuyun murmured to herself.

At the same time, Li Chengzhi, who was cultivating in his own training room, inexplicably shivered.

What's going on? Why does it feel like someone's set their sights on me?
