Chapter 215: Nine Lei He! Two Girls Arrive!

After entering the thunderstorm zone, Xu Jingming did the same as before.

He used his Dou Tian Shenlei ability to lure the ferocious beasts together, then killed them all in one go.

He kept killing like this for four straight days before entering the core zone.

Keep in mind that practicing by observing natural thunder in Retta is much faster.

Therefore, after entering the core zone.

Xu Jingming did not, as he had last time, find a spot to observe natural thunder; instead, he focused solely on killing fourth-rank thunder beasts.

In two days, he killed a total of nine fourth-rank ferocious beasts!

During this time, he even attracted the pursuit of a fifth-rank thunder beast!

But Xu Jingming was no longer the second-rank upper-tier cultivator from his study trip—he had grown vastly stronger and escaped easily.

Even after fleeing to a distance, he attempted to kill it using Tian Lei Shu in his Lei Jitai form.

Under the bombardment of Tian Lei Shu, the fifth-rank ferocious beast suffered only minor injuries, with no critical damage.

From then on, Xu Jingming knew he still lacked the ability to kill fifth-rank ferocious beasts.

Of course,

to inflict damage on a fifth-rank ferocious beast while crossing two major ranks was already an extraordinary achievement.

On February 6th, at six p. m., six days later, Xu Jingming left the thunderstorm zone.

At this time, his system panel's ability points had once again accumulated to 14,000.

Compared to his first harvest of 12,000 ability points, this time he gained nearly two thousand more.

This was because Xu Jingming spent two extra days killing fourth-rank ferocious beasts in the core zone.

After leaving the thunderstorm zone, Xu Jingming hurried back to his villa to sleep, not waking until past two a. m. on the 9th.

"Comfortable!"

Xu Jingming leapt from bed, the fatigue of six straight days and nights without sleep vanished entirely.

"Only an ability user could do this—any ordinary person would never recover."

Shaking his head, Xu Jingming first took a shower in the bathroom.

Then he changed into casual clothes, went to Qu Xiang Restaurant to fill his stomach, and headed again to the Lei Ta.

"Check for me—how long can these Lei He last me on the 100th floor?"

When Xu Jingming placed nine fourth-rank Lei He on the counter in front of the attendant.

The young female attendant's eyes widened, her rosy lips slightly parting.

She quickly recovered, pulled out a device, and verified each Lei He one by one before speaking:

"Sir, you have nine Lei He in total.

One is fourth-rank peak, three are fourth-rank upper, one is fourth-rank middle, and four are fourth-rank lower.

Together, they can be exchanged for 37 hours of usage time on the 100th floor of the Lei Ta."

As she spoke, the female attendant's bright eyes subtly studied Xu Jingming.

She had worked here for nearly two years, yet had seen fourth-rank Lei He only a handful of times.

She never expected this handsome Mr. had previously produced two fourth-rank high-grade Lei He.

Now he had produced nine in one go!

Judging by his appearance, he clearly looked young—even possibly younger than me—how could he be so formidable?

Thinking this, the female attendant's heart was already filled with astonishment and curiosity.

"Can the usage time be used separately?" Xu Jingming asked.

Observing natural thunder requires efficiency—if you observe continuously for 37 hours,

the initial period is the most efficient; later, as your spirit tires, efficiency drops.

The best method is to observe for a while, then do something else, then return to observe again.

"The usage time is recorded in your access pass—when you finish observing, just swipe the device at the entrance to stop the timer."

Hearing Xu Jingming's question, the attendant snapped back to herself, her cheeks slightly flushed as she explained.

"Good."

Xu Jingming nodded and, under the attendant's guidance, returned to the 100th floor of the Lei Ta to continue observing natural thunder.

Time passed swiftly, and before long it was 5 p. m. on February 11th.

While Xu Jingming was still meditating on natural thunder in the Lei Ta,

outside the walls of the Lei Ting Secret Realm,

accompanied by a low engine roar, a sleek, crimson sports car sped toward them from afar.

As the car pulled up before the wall, armed soldiers approached and asked:

"Hello, please show your access pass."

Whoosh—

The driver's side window rolled down, revealing a delicate, breathtakingly beautiful face.

The stunning beauty of the girl made even this well-trained soldier pause slightly.

Song Qiuyun

"We're two people. Here are our access passes."

The girl handed over two passes; only then did the soldier notice another girl seated in the passenger seat.

She had silver-white hair reaching her waist; due to the car's structure, her face was obscured.

But from her well-proportioned figure, her appearance must also be excellent.

Jiang Chuxuan

"Drip, identity confirmed. Magic City Institute of Psychic Abilities Class-B access pass. Holder: Song Qiuyun."

"Remaining validity: 1 day, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 58 seconds."

"Drip, identity confirmed. Magic City Institute of Psychic Abilities Class-B access pass. Holder: Jiang Chuxuan."

"Remaining validity: 1 day, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 57 seconds."

The girl's beauty was stunning, but the soldiers were well-trained and quickly regained composure to conduct the inspection.

Under instrument detection, both their credentials showed no issues.

"Identity confirmed! Clear passage!"

Boom—

The surrounding armed soldiers swiftly parted, and with a low rumble, the alloy mega-gate on the city wall slowly opened.

"Jingming would never expect us to come find him at this time."

"Yeah, he'll surely be happy to have company on New Year's Eve."

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan in the car exchanged soft laughs.

Xu Jingming was spending his winter break training in the Lei Ting Secret Realm—that much they both knew.

Xu Jingming was an orphan, and now, on this grand family-reunion day of New Year's Eve, he'd be spending it alone—it was simply too pitiful.

So they had decided to come to the Lei Ting Secret Realm at this moment to give Xu Jingming a surprise.

Boom~

The red sports car slowly drove in, and as the vehicle passed through the alloy mega-gate.

The continuous lightning striking the distant sky, along with the bustling cityscape around them, made the two girls in the car instantly brighten their eyes.

"This is the Lei Ting Secret Realm? I didn't expect it to be so beautiful."

"I thought it would be like a regular wasteland zone."

"Let's go, we'll find him right now."

"Uh… I don't actually know where he lives..."

The two girls in the car stared at each other, dumbfounded.

They had assumed the Lei Ting Secret Realm was just like a regular wasteland zone, with only a single supply base for lodging.

So they hadn't asked Xu Jingming for his address—and now they discovered the Lei Ting Secret Realm was enormous!

There was no way to easily locate Xu Jingming's residence.

"Forget it, I'll just call him and ask."

Song Qiuyun shook her head and dialed Xu Jingming's phone.
