Chapter 199: Senior Brother Jiang Luo! Lei Ting Secret Realm!

I have to say, the efficiency of Devil University is indeed remarkable.

Just the next day, they had already arranged the moving address.

So, Xu Jingming accompanied his aunt to their new home.

The new home is located in a military family villa district in Jiangcheng, with even stricter security, and a military unit of over a thousand soldiers stationed right next door.

The new home is fully furnished, and since it's only temporary, there's no need to bring too many belongings.

Lin Qingyuan, Zhang Hao, and Liu Jie's families were also assigned to this residential area.

But in different sections.

In the afternoon, Xu Jingming first went to visit Lin Qingyuan's place.

Lin Qingyuan's parents had already woken up that morning, and the events of last night seemed to have left no psychological shadow on them.

As soon as Xu Jingming arrived, he was warmly welcomed.

He originally intended to leave, but was firmly persuaded to stay for over an hour.

Next, Xu Jingming visited Zhang Hao's and Liu Jie's homes as well.

After confirming that everyone's new addresses were fine, he purchased a high-speed train ticket departing from Jiangcheng to Hedong City at 7 p. m.

After buying the ticket, he called the senior brother Jiang Luo, who was inside the Thunder Realm, using the contact information left by Professor Yang.

He intended to ask how to enter the Thunder Realm upon arriving in Hedong City.

To his surprise, Senior Brother Jiang Luo was even more enthusiastic than expected and offered to drive all the way to the high-speed rail station.

Xu Jingming couldn't refuse, so he reluctantly agreed.

At 6 p. m., after having dinner at his aunt Xu Qingwan's house,

Xu Jingming headed to the Jiangcheng high-speed rail station and boarded the train to Hedong City.

Hedong City, Jiangsu Province, is located about 80 kilometers south of Jiangcheng.

The high-speed train arrived in under 40 minutes.

"Jingming! Over here!"

As Xu Jingming stepped out of the station with the crowd, someone waved and called out from the roadside.

It was a young man in his twenties, not particularly muscular, even slightly slender.

But the occasional flash of sharpness in his eyes revealed his exceptional nature.

"Senior Brother Jiang," Xu Jingming walked over and smiled as he greeted him.

"Don't be so formal—just call me Brother Luo."

Jiang Luo chuckled and patted Xu Jingming on the shoulder, exclaiming:

"Liu Ming told me you're the most talented student at Devil University.

I didn't believe him before, but now I see—it's truly extraordinary."

Everyone has their own aura, especially psychics, whose auras are particularly powerful.

As a mid-level fourth-rank psychic, Jiang Luo sensed a faint hint of danger emanating from Xu Jingming.

This surprised Jiang Luo and caused him to hold Xu Jingming in much higher regard.

"Let's go, get in the car—I'll take you to the Thunder Realm."

Jiang Luo led Xu Jingming to a black SUV parked by the roadside.

The SUV was entirely black, with only a large blue-and-white lightning emblem on the door.

Under the streetlights, it gleamed brightly.

"Is this a Thunder Martial Arts Gym vehicle?" asked Xu Jingming from the front passenger seat, curious.

The lightning emblem on the door was one he often saw at the Thunder Martial Arts Gym.

"Yes,"

Jiang Luo smiled as he started the car. "After graduation, I joined the Thunder Martial Arts Gym and trained at headquarters for half a year.

Only fifteen days ago was I assigned here to the Thunder Realm as a junior manager of the branch.

This car was provided by the gym for me.

By the way, have you thought about where you'll go after graduation?

The military, a guild, or like me—joining the Thunder Martial Arts Gym or the Grizzly Martial Arts Gym?"

There are many martial arts gyms in the Great Xia Nation, but only two are truly sought after by Devil University graduates:

the Thunder Martial Arts Gym and the Grizzly Martial Arts Gym—both top-tier gyms in the nation.

"Not yet," Xu Jingming shook his head.

"That's understandable—you're only a freshman, no need to rush."

Jiang Luo nodded in understanding, then began sharing his advice:

"But you might as well start thinking about it. In my opinion,

the military requires constant frontline duty, fighting beasts, and has an extremely high fatality rate.

Guilds are overly restrictive, often requiring you to follow their missions.

Only martial arts gyms are relatively relaxed—you don't risk your life constantly, and there's less control over you.

You might want to consider this path.

Of course, with your strength and talent, you'll receive the best treatment wherever you go..."

Senior Brother Jiang Luo is quite talkative; throughout the journey, he did most of the talking while Xu Jingming listened.

The SUV quickly left the urban area of Hedong City and headed toward the suburbs.

After driving another twenty minutes through the suburbs, a massive wall slowly came into Xu Jingming's view.

"Inside that wall is the Thunder Realm," Jiang Luo said with a smile.

"Isn't the sky above the Lei Ting secret realm covered in thunderclouds, with lightning striking down all day long?" Xu Jingming was somewhat puzzled.

Above this city wall, it was pitch black — where was any thunder and lightning?

"You'll understand once we go in later."

Jiang Luo kept him in suspense, saying mysteriously.

As the off-road vehicle drew closer, Xu Jingming realized that this wall was even taller than he had imagined!

At least over twenty meters!

Embedded in the front of the wall was a massive alloy gate, and right in the center of the gate was the blue-and-white lightning emblem of Lei Ting Wu Guan.

Around the wall, not only were several armored vehicles parked, but there were also fully armed squads of soldiers and ability-user teams patrolling back and forth.

The moment the off-road vehicle drove over, an armed soldier stepped forward:

"Hello, please show your pass."

They did not let their guard down in the slightest just because Jiang Luo was driving a Lei Ting Wu Guan vehicle — instead, their expressions were solemn.

"This is my work ID."

Jiang Luo handed his credentials over.

Xu Jingming likewise took out from his spatial ring that S-rank pass that allowed him to stay in the Lei Ting secret realm for a month.

"Beep. Identity confirmed. Lei Ting Wu Guan headquarters supervisor, Jiang Luo."

"Beep. Identity confirmed. Magic City Ability University S-rank pass, holder: Xu Jingming. Remaining duration: 29 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 58 seconds."

Under the soldiers' instrument scan, both of their credentials checked out.

"Identity confirmed! Let them through!"

Rumble rumble~~~~

The surrounding soldiers quickly scattered, and with a deep, muffled sound, the entire massive alloy gate slowly opened.

But what surprised Xu Jingming was—

The open alloy gate was like the gaping maw of an abyss — still pitch black inside, with not a glimmer of light to be seen.

Hmm—

The engine revved, and the off-road vehicle slowly drove into the alloy gate.

Boom!!

The instant Xu Jingming passed through the alloy gate, the original pitch blackness vanished on the spot!

In its place was a cityscape as bright as broad daylight!

On the distant roads, various vehicles were driving along, and on the pedestrian walkways beside the road, men and women were strolling.

And what shocked Xu Jingming the most was the blue-and-white thunder and lightning bolts ceaselessly cleaving down from the distant sky!

These thunder and lightning bolts came in spherical shapes, in branching tree-like forms, and even as solitary strikes!

Combined together, they formed a continuous, endless expanse of terrifying thunderstorm zone — one that the eye could not see the end of!

And the cityscape's brightness, as bright as broad daylight, came precisely from these ceaselessly cleaving, never-resting thunderbolts......
