Chapter 223: Do You Think You Can Kill Me? Instantly Crushed!

Though surprised, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan both realized Xu Jingming seemed to be experimenting with something.

They did not disturb him, walking to the corner of the training room to begin their own training.

Hss—

All lightning receded; the spear regained its 800 kilograms of weight, and Xu Jingming pulled it from the wall.

"This attack method is indeed viable, but carelessly changing the weapon's weight causes movements to deform."

"This point requires long-term practice and adaptation."

Xu Jingming exhaled deeply, a light sheen of sweat on his forehead.

The spear's maximum weight reaches 6000 kilograms; the force required to swing it must constantly adjust with the weight.

Just a few minutes left him feeling more drained than a regular training session lasting over ten minutes!

"But once adapted, better control of force application should reduce this massive energy drain."

The Flowing Liu Yun Liuyun Jin Feng Qiang was swung again; Xu Jingming resumed training.

This kind of attack method cannot be enhanced by the system's point allocation—only his own relentless practice can improve it...

The auction ended at 2 p. m.

Afterward, except for meals, Xu Jingming and the two women, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan, remained in the training room.

Besides solo training in the unique force application of the Flowing Liu Yun Liuyun Jin Feng Qiang, Xu Jingming also sparred with the two women.

Of course, he suppressed his strength to Second Stage Lower Tier.

Even so, he still dominated them completely.

This crushing sparring was not without benefit; on the contrary, the two women could better identify their own flaws.

Sometimes, Xu Jingming would observe their mutual sparring as a spectator.

He had to admit, both women had excellent physiques.

Beneath their fitted combat suits, their bodies showed not an ounce of excess fat, tempting one to reach out and touch.

Even Song Qiuyun, whose figure was slightly fuller, possessed skin with astonishing elasticity.

Since it was sparring, intense movements were inevitable.

This caused sensitive areas to sway, giving Xu Jingming a full view.

Between sparring sessions, Xu Jingming sometimes stepped in to offer guidance.

Physical contact was unavoidable, postures intimate.

Xu Jingming was only nineteen, in the prime of youth with vigorous blood and qi; under these circumstances, his blood naturally stirred.

The two women seemed to notice this, playfully pressing their rounded curves against him.

Xu Jingming, of course, welcomed it, further feeling that astonishing elasticity.

Thus, the remainder of the day passed quietly in this ambiguous atmosphere.

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan's access passes were valid for only two days.

Therefore, at 12 p. m. the next day, Xu Jingming escorted them to the wall of the Lei Ting Secret Realm.

Of course, the four hours that morning also involved sparring in the training room.

"Jingming, goodbye."

"Once you get to school, could Senior Xu guide us again?"

In the red sports car, Song Qiuyun's face was slightly flushed.

In contrast, the white-haired girl Jiang Chuxuan in the passenger seat seemed far more composed, a smile on her face.

"Alright, then see you at school."

Xu Jingming raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly—he would never back down.

"See you at school."

The red sports car started and swiftly drove out of the Lei Ting Secret Realm.

Xu Jingming withdrew his gaze, his eyes hardening once more:

"Next, I need to go to Lei Ta and attempt to break through to Proficient Liquid Condensation..."

Xu Jingming's remaining time on Lei Ta's 100th floor was 4.5 hours.

He exchanged the five Fourth Stage Lower Tier Lei He obtained from the auction, gaining another 15 hours.

Combined, the total time amounted to 19.5 hours.

Unfortunately, after using all the time at once, he still failed to break through to Proficient Liquid Condensation.

"I must hurry to the Thunderstorm Zone, hunt a few Fourth Stage ferocious beasts, then return and try again."

The resolute and steady Xu Jingming did not sink into despair after another failed breakthrough; he swiftly headed toward the Thunderstorm Zone entrance.

He entered the Lei Ting Secret Realm on January 20th at 7 p. m.; his access pass expires on February 19th at 7 p. m.

It is now 8 a. m. on February 14th—he has less than six days left in the Lei Ting Secret Realm, so he must hurry.

Three minutes later, when he appeared at the Thunderstorm Zone entrance, the message was simultaneously delivered to Li Wanying.

"Young Lady, Xu Jingming is entering the Thunderstorm Zone—please come quickly."

In a lavishly decorated villa's living room, Li Wanying sat on the sofa.

Upon seeing the message, her eyes lit up, and she immediately rose.

"Xiao Ying is leaving?"

On the other side of the sofa sat a youth with a lean, cheetah-like build, clad in a black overcoat, radiating formidable energy.

He had just opened his eyes after practicing his unique ability cultivation method, smiling as he asked.

He was Li Wanying's elder brother, Li Shanglin, the strongest among the younger generation of the Li Clan, at the peak of Fourth Stage.

"Yes, I'm going to retrieve the birthday gift I prepared for you—this one took me a long time to plan."

Li Wanying's face beamed with a mischievous smile.

"A gift? Then I, your big brother, look forward to receiving your grand present."

Li Shanglin chuckled softly and nodded, his expression doting.

Thunderstorm Zone, outer region.

Xu Jingming, tall and muscular, sprinted through the forest like a sleek panther.

Suddenly, he frowned and halted on a patch of open ground.

He turned around, gazing backward, and said in a low voice: "You've followed long enough—come out now."

Zwoosh! Zwoosh! Zwoosh!...

Four figures clad in battle armor burst from the forest, appearing not far before Xu Jingming; their leader, a middle-aged man, smiled and said:

"Hehe, no wonder you're a prodigy of Devil University—only third-rank upper tier, yet your perception is so sharp."

"I don't seem to know you. Why are you tailing me?" Xu Jingming narrowed his eyes.

He had sensed their presence since entering the Thunderstorm Zone.

He'd assumed they were merely traveling the same route, but he hadn't expected these people had trailed him for over ten minutes.

"You may not know them, but you must know me."

With a tinkling laugh like silver bells, a woman wrapped in crimson battle armor stepped forward from behind them, her slender figure elegant.

"Li Wanying?"

Xu Jingming's eyebrows lifted slightly—he understood at once: "You want to steal the S-class Flowing Liu Yun Liuyun Jin Feng Qiang?"

"No, no, no—not just the spear. I want your life too."

Li Wanying gently brushed her hair back and blinked her eyes cutely:

"It's a pity about your face—if you hadn't opposed me at the auction."

"You might have become the leader of my harem, singing with me every day."

"Stealing my weapon is one thing—but you won't even spare me? So cruel?" Xu Jingming was taken aback.

Li Wanying was stunningly beautiful, yet beneath that lovely exterior lay a venomous heart.

"Why should you oppose the Li family? Before a strong one, the weak have no right to speak."

"Kill you? Fine. What can you do about it?"

Li Wanying lightly covered her mouth and giggled, "But I'll give you a chance—if you kneel and beg my forgiveness."

"Then I'll grant you a quick death. Otherwise, I can make you suffer as if being slowly sliced to death."

Li Wanying's voice was crisp, her beautiful eyes fixed unblinkingly on Xu Jingming.

A faint blush tinged her cheeks, as if she already saw him kneeling before her, begging.

Yet Xu Jingming showed no sign of kneeling—instead, his lips curled slightly in mockery:

"In front of the strong, the weak have no right to speak? That's true enough."

"But I suspect, before targeting me, you never properly investigated my identity..."

Crackling—

As he spoke, brilliant, furious golden lightning erupted from Xu Jingming, spreading violently outward.

Then, before Li Wanying and the others' stunned gazes,

Xu Jingming's black-and-white eyes filled with golden lightning, transforming into dragon pupils!

His body swelled, rising instantly from 1.89 meters to 2.2 meters!

Like an immensely powerful beast!

His muscles twisted and bulged, hard as steel!

At vulnerable points—shoulders, knees, chest—

Thin layers of pale golden scales emerged, fierce and menacing.

This was the transformation granted by the fourth level of the Thunder Indestructible Body.

At the fifth level, these scales would fully mature, enhancing Xu Jingming's physical defense.

Xu Jingming's entire activation of Thunder Extreme Form took less than one second.

And Li Wanying and the others watched helplessly as Xu Jingming evolved from an ordinary adept

into a terrifying figure over two meters tall, wreathed in brilliant golden lightning, his frame massive and powerful.

From this figure radiated a savage aura, like that of a supreme dragon beast.

It sent chills down Li Wanying and the others' spines—they felt the threat of death!

"W-what is this?!"

Li Wanying gasped in disbelief, eyes wide.

"Two fourth-rank middle, two fourth-rank lower—do you really think you can kill me?"

A pair of molten-gold dragon pupils gazed coldly at them; Xu Jingming's voice rang out, divine and majestic:

"Come then. I give you this chance."

"Something's wrong—attack together!"

As their leader, Li Yan's face darkened; his aura exploded.

He decisively activated his enhancement-type ability, raising his great blade, and charged forward with the other three.

Facing the assault, Xu Jingming made no move to dodge—only raised his right hand.

"Die. Doushen Shenlei!"

Crackling—

Four brilliant golden lightning bolts, like serpents, struck each of the four men.

"Aaaa!!!"

Amidst cries of agony, in an instant.

The four guard members who had just been intent on killing were swallowed by Lei Ting, reduced instantly to charred corpses with no resistance whatsoever.

Under the enhancement of Lei Jitai, the SS-ranked Dou Tian Shen Lei surged in power.

Simply by using a basic psychic manipulation, he had instantly obliterated all four of them!

"Did Li Shu and the others get wiped out in an instant?"

Li Wanying stared in shock at the scene, never imagining that their ambush against Xu Jingming would end like this!

He's a monster! Impossible to kill! Run! Must run!

Li Wanying now had only one thought: escape!

She instinctively stepped backward, but failed to notice a loose stone beneath her foot and tripped, falling hard onto the ground.

At that moment, Xu Jingming's brilliant dragon eyes turned toward her, his gaze cold and looking down from above.

"Now, it's your turn."
