What reward do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy shit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she really is going to give one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Luo’s mind filled with giant question marks—could an eighth-rank Grand Master really be this easygoing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No no, I was just joking,” Xu Jingming coughed and quickly waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already received a Spatial Talisman Tablet—he wouldn’t be greedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d only meant to tease a little, never expecting Vice Principal Ling Shuang to take him seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Joking?” Ling Shuang’s expression flickered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since entering the seventh-rank Master realm seven years ago, no one had ever joked with her before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially not someone as insignificant as a third-rank upper-level adept like Xu Jingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she felt no offense—instead, she experienced an odd sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, I do have something to give you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Shuang swiftly removed a silver-white bracelet from her pristine wrist:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a one-time eighth-rank protective talisman, capable of withstanding a single attack from a mid-tier eighth-rank Grand Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It cannot be activated manually—it triggers automatically only when your life is in mortal danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that I’ve reached mid-tier eighth-rank, this bracelet is useless to me—consider it your reward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Xu Jingming’s eyes widened sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an absolute lifesaving artifact—and she was giving it to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Ling, you’re truly a kind soul!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his excitement, Xu Jingming’s gaze sharpened, and he said seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Principal Ling, for your concern. If you ever need anything from me in the future, just say the word—I, Xu Jingming, will never refuse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ling Shuang’s protection of him came from orders from the nation’s highest leadership,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then this bracelet was unquestionably a personal gift from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A drop of kindness deserves a spring in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This single favor alone was enough to make him vow to repay her with all his strength in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s still too early for you to need me. Your current task is to cultivate diligently and become an eighth-rank Grand Master as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then will Great Xia gain another national-level powerhouse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Shuang nodded slightly at this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attitude proved she hadn’t misjudged him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the goal of becoming an eighth-rank Grand Master—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ordinary adepts rarely reached this realm, but for Xu Jingming, she felt no concern whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it had been less than a year since he’d awakened, and now he was already a third-rank upper-level adept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Becoming an eighth-rank Grand Master was merely a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the ninth-rank Martial Saint, the pinnacle of Blue Star, was within his grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.” Xu Jingming nodded seriously and took the bracelet from Ling Shuang’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bracelet was entirely silver-white, radiating heavy energy fluctuations, still warm from Ling Shuang’s body, carrying a faint, lingering fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right wrist already bore the bracelet given by Teacher Yang, so he wore this one on his left wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was somewhat odd for a man to wear a woman’s bracelet,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if more such bracelets were available, he wouldn’t mind wearing several.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Jiang Luo, the senior brother beside him, drooled with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Wang Gu, the branch director of Thunder Martial Arts, nearby, blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a one-time protective talisman was something even many seventh-rank Masters couldn’t obtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet it had been given to a third-rank upper-level adept!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It seems Xu Jingming holds extremely high importance in Principal Ling’s eyes.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Gu thought silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone like this must be cultivated and befriended as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he couldn’t win Principal Ling’s favor, gaining Xu Jingming’s goodwill toward Thunder Martial Arts would be excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you finished your business here? Magic University opens soon—I’ll take you back together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing this, Ling Shuang asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was February 17th; only six days remained until Magic University’s opening on February 23rd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the designated representative of Magic University in the National University League,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>returning to campus early would allow him to train with the other competitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The National University League included not only individual matches but also team events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Team combat required time to develop synergy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I still have some matters to attend to. Principal, you go ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His primary goal in coming to Thunder Secret Realm this winter break was to improve his mastery of Thunder-element abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just short of breaking through to the Condensed Liquid stage—he couldn’t abandon it now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How long?” Ling Shuang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably another two days,” Xu Jingming replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was currently 10 a.m., and he still had 55 hours until the deadline of 7 p.m. on February 19th to leave Thunder Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. I’ll wait here for you. Once your training ends, I’ll take you back together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, fearing the Sect of Destiny might return, Ling Shuang decided to stay near Xu Jingming a while longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Principal,” Xu Jingming’s eyes lit up, and he quickly bowed in gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Jiang Luo, who had overheard every word of their conversation, was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Envy! Still envy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eighth-rank Grand Master Ling Shuang treated Xu Jingming better than a nanny!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t know the little brother’s background, he’d suspect Xu Jingming was Ling Shuang’s illegitimate son!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this what it’s like to be a genius? So enviable,” Jiang Luo couldn’t help thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he himself had dared ask a ninth-rank Grand Master for a reward, he’d be lucky not to be slapped into the next kingdom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: A new rule—once a divine-level certification is achieved, or 8,000 “love-powered” boosts, one extra chapter is added.
