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

The fifth layer of Lei Ting Bu Mie Shen 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!

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

Of course,

this was also tied to the eighth-rank lower-tier Lei Ting Baolong blood he used to forge his foundation, and the ninth-rank beast emperor blood he later absorbed.

A normal fifth-layer Lei Ting Bu Mie Shen simply did not possess such terrifying healing speed.

"Next, let's keep fighting."

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

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

Now, it's just a matter of who makes more openings, and who can seize those openings better!

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

Golden and black shadows clashed repeatedly, thunder and clods of earth interwoven and mixed together.

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

"This S-class opponent is really strong."

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

As an ancient presence in Mo Da dating back a hundred years, this wasn't the first time she'd seen a student with S-class authorization.

Most of these students possessed S-class abilities, and even one or two had SS-class abilities.

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

More importantly, Xu Jingming is only nineteen years old!

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

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

"No, not quite—in ancient civilization, there seemed to have been individuals who advanced this rapidly..." Eva furrowed her delicate brows.

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

Yet occasionally, vague fragments of data would surface within her vast database.

It was just extremely difficult to organize them.

"Forget it, no need to think about it—what's past is past.

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

Eva didn't dwell further, continuing to observe the battle below.

Although both sides remained locked in a stalemate, with her top-tier artificial intelligence's immense computational power,

she still calculated that Xu Jingming's win probability was slightly higher.

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

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

"Huff, huff..."

On the grassland,

Xu Jingming stood with spear in hand, gasping heavily.

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

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

Of course,

Xu Jingming himself was far from unscathed.

His S-class defensive combat technique, "Mingyu Leikui," along with his battle robe, had been torn apart in large sections, exposing his skin to numerous wounds.

His SS-class Dou Tian Shenlei had been nearly depleted.

"Still, in the end, I was the one who smiled last," Xu Jingming's resolute face broke into a faint smile.

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

After all, humans could perform all sorts of high-difficulty maneuvers, while ferocious beasts could not.

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

Fangs! Claws! Even its tail!

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

And slaying such a troublesome fifth-rank ferocious beast would undoubtedly grant Xu Jingming immense satisfaction.

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

Otherwise, he'd have liked to see how many ability points a lower fifth-rank ferocious beast would grant.

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

In most cases, he could complete long-range kills using only his S-class Lei Shen Zhi or Tian Lei Shu.

But against fast, agile ferocious beasts, these two techniques were useless—he could only rely on close combat.

In past close combat, he had relied almost entirely on the enhanced physique from Lei Jitai to crush opponents, so he'd never noticed this flaw.

Now, fighting close combat against stronger ferocious beasts,

Xu Jingming realized his close-combat suppression power was severely inadequate!

Even the A-class spear technique, Linked Thunder Spear, seemed insufficient in damage.

Under these circumstances, only an S-class spear technique could achieve the effect he desired.

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

If he had such an S-class spear technique, he wouldn't have fought so hard just now.

"Congratulations on clearing Level 27 with an S rating! Combat power has surged again! Reaching a record-breaking 1,010,000 combat power!"

At this moment, Eva's crisp voice rang out from midair.

Xu Jingming's combat power on the leaderboard also changed instantly!

Rank 1: Xu Jingming, Combat Power:!

His combat power had directly doubled that of Kong Shi, the second-place contender!

"Combat power surged this much?" Xu Jingming was surprised.

He had expected at most a 200,000 increase.

"Five-rank ferocious beasts aren't something anyone can kill. A 300,000 boost isn't much."

Eva giggled, then asked:

"You've cleared Level 27. S-rank, do you wish to proceed to Level 28?"

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

"Of course I'll continue, but I need to rest for a bit first."

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

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

"One million combat power! Lei Di is too brutal!"

"It's settled—the university league is ours now!"

"Speak up, haters!"

"......"

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

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

Kong Shi's supporters either fell silent.

Or outright joined Xu Jingming's camp, joining the flood of posts.

I have to say, this kind of dominant lead feels amazing, directly making the students who switched sides exclaim how good it is.

"One million combat power—Xu Jingming has now firmly taken the pinnacle of our Magic University."

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

"A third-rank upper-tier cultivator killing dozens of fourth-rank peak beasts? This combat power is simply absurd..."

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

"So, how about it? Still planning to challenge him during the team competition training?"

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

Joking? With one million combat power, he could crush me with a single finger!
