Chapter 246: One Million Combat Power! Shockwaves Across All Sides!

The fifth level of Thunder Unextinguished Body granted Xu Jingming a physique as formidable as that of a ferocious beast.

His vitality was tenacious, his defense immense, and his recovery speed astonishingly fast!

The wound on his neck, about one millimeter deep, healed completely in the blink of an eye.

Of course,

This was also due to the eighth-rank lower-tier Thunder Dragon blood used to forge his foundation and the ninth-rank Beast Emperor blood he later absorbed.

A normal fifth-level Thunder Unextinguished Body could never achieve such a terrifying healing speed.

"Next, let's keep fighting."

Xu Jingming lifted his spear again and charged toward the Earth Black Wolf.

That previous dodge had proven he had the capability to fight hand-to-hand with a fifth-rank ferocious beast!

Now, it was simply a matter of who made more openings and who could seize them better.

Boom! Boom! Boom!......

Golden and black shadows clashed repeatedly, thunder and soil mingling together.

Throughout the grassland, low or piercing collision sounds echoed intermittently.

"This S-rank is really strong."

In midair, the twin-tailed girl Eva swung her legs, watching the scene below with interest.

As an ancient presence in Maga dating back a century, she had seen S-rank authorized students before.

Most of these students possessed S-rank abilities, and a few even had SS-rank abilities.

But never before had anyone reached such astonishing combat power at the upper third-rank.

More importantly, Xu Jingming was only nineteen!

Nineteen years old, upper third-rank, actual combat power reaching fifth-rank!

In Eva's century-long database, Xu Jingming was the first such prodigy!

"No, not quite—in ancient civilization, there were reportedly individuals who advanced this rapidly..." Eva furrowed her brows.

For unknown reasons, all information related to ancient civilization had been purged from her.

Yet occasionally, faint fragments of data surfaced within her vast database.

It was just extremely difficult to piece them together.

"Forget it. The past is the past.

In this era, Xu Jingming is currently the top prodigy."

Eva did not dwell further and continued observing the battle below.

Although both sides remained locked in stalemate, with its supercomputing power, top-tier artificial intelligence

still calculated Xu Jingming's win probability as slightly higher.

Indeed, as she predicted, after the battle lasted over twenty minutes,

Xu Jingming seized an opening in the Earth Black Wolf, thrust his spear, and shattered its skull!

"Pant... pant..."

On the grassland,

Xu Jingming stood with spear in hand, breathing heavily.

Not far ahead, the headless corpse of the Earth Black Wolf lay sprawled.

His body bore numerous charred marks from lightning, with residual golden arcs still flickering.

Of course,

Xu Jingming himself was far from unscathed.

His S-rank defensive combat technique, " Mingyuleikai," along with his battle suit, had been torn apart, exposing his skin with numerous wounds.

His SS-rank Doushen Thunder had been nearly depleted.

"But in the end, I was the one who smiled last." A faint smile appeared on Xu Jingming's resolute face.

Due to their physiology, ferocious beasts were inherently less agile than humans.

After all, humans could perform complex maneuvers that beasts could not.

Yet this fifth-rank Earth Black Wolf had pushed its body to its absolute limits!

Fangs! Claws! Even its tail!

All could serve as offensive weapons—it was incredibly tenacious!

Slaying such a formidable fifth-rank ferocious beast undoubtedly gave Xu Jingming immense satisfaction.

The only regret was that in the virtual world, killing a ferocious beast granted no ability points.

Otherwise, he wanted to see how many ability points a lower fifth-rank ferocious beast would yield.

"Also, I still lack an S-rank spear technique." Xu Jingming mused.

Most of the time, he could finish off enemies from afar using only his S-rank Thunder Finger or Heavenly Thunder Art.

But against fast, agile beasts like this, those two techniques were useless—he could only rely on close combat.

In past close fights, he had relied entirely on the enhanced physique from Thunder Extreme State to dominate, so he never noticed this flaw.

Now, fighting closer combat with stronger beasts,

Xu Jingming realized his close-combat dominance was severely lacking!

Even the A-rank spear technique, Continuous Thunder Spear, seemed insufficient in damage.

Under these circumstances, only an S-rank spear technique could achieve his desired effect.

"I'll head to the Wild Zone again later, harvest some ability points, and learn an S-rank spear technique as soon as possible." Xu Jingming thought silently.

With such an S-rank spear technique, he wouldn't have struggled so much just now.

"Congratulations on clearing Trial Level 27! Combat power surges again! Reaching a record-breaking 1, 10, 00 combat power!"

At that moment, Eva's clear voice rang out from midair.

Xu Jingming's combat power ranking instantly changed!

Rank 1: Xu Jingming, Combat Power:!

His combat power had surged to double that of Kong Shi, who ranked second!

"Combat power jumped that much?" Xu Jingming was surprised.

He had expected at most a 200, 00 increase.

"Killing a fifth-rank ferocious beast isn't something anyone can do. A 300, 00 increase isn't much."

Eva giggled, then asked:

"You've cleared Trial Level 27. Will you proceed to Level 28?

This time, it's five lower fifth-rank Earth Black Wolves. Extremely difficult."

"Of course I'll continue—but I need to rest first."

Xu Jingming knew he couldn't clear Level 28, but that didn't stop him from experiencing the pressure it would bring.

While Xu Jingming rested in the virtual trial, the outside world erupted in uproar over his astonishing performance!

"One million combat power! Lei Di is insane!"

"Guaranteed! This year's university league is ours!"

"Shut up, haters!"

"......"

On the school forum, Xu Jingming's supporters erupted in celebration!

Posts flooded the screen, all centered on Xu Jingming breaking the one-million combat power barrier.

Kong Shi's supporters either fell silent

or outright switched sides, joining the Xu Jingming fanbase and flooding the forum with praise.

Budebushuo ， Zhezhongshunfengjudeganjuezhenshuang ， Zhijierangdaogedexueshengzhihuzhenxiang 。

"One million combat power—Xu Jingming has now firmly reached the pinnacle of our Maga."

In Kong Shi's villa, Tao Guan exclaimed in awe.

"At upper third-rank, he's slain dozens of peak fourth-rank beasts—this combat power is absurd..."

Kong Shi shook his head, then smiled at Tao Guan:

"So, still planning to challenge him in the team training?"

"No way!" Tao Guan shook his head like a rattle drum.

Please, one million combat power—he could crush me with a single finger!
