Chapter 274: Foreign Powers Recruiting! Whatever You Want, I've Got It!

"Lei Di!"

"Lei Di!"

"......"

Amid the nearly全场-boiling cheers, Zhou Chao was carried off the stage directly by the medical staff.

"Tsk tsk, feels like Lei Di still went easy on him. These injuries can't even compare to the Bai Shan representative team's this morning."

"True, the Bai Shan representative team's injuries were heavier."

"Really? I didn't pay much attention to that, actually."

As the audience discussed, they instinctively compared Zhou Chao's injuries with those of the Bai Shan Ability University representative team from the morning.

The wound on Zhou Chao's chest looked big, but in fact, it was very easy to treat.

And the two members of the Bai Shan representative team who came into contact with Xu Jingming's Doushen Shenlei ability were directly electrocuted into serious injuries!

Especially the vice-captain Ke Liang, under Lei Ting's bombardment.

A full quarter of his entire body's muscles and skin had undergone irreversible carbonization!

Even now, the medical team is still making every effort to rescue him.

Compared with this vice-captain's injuries, Zhou Chao's injuries indeed couldn't be considered too serious.

"Looking at it this way, Lei Di's attacking style seems a bit ruthless."

Someone said instinctively, but immediately drew rebuttals from some people:

"Ruthless my ass! If Bai Da's vice-captain hadn't provoked Lei Di's cousin first, he wouldn't have gone so heavy-handed this morning!"

"Holy crap? That actually happened? Got video? Lemme see, quick."

"Hold on, I'll find it for you right now."

Have to say, the audience's gossip ability was truly formidable — they directly dug up what had happened outside the Qingxu City high-speed rail station yesterday.

After learning the cause and effect, the crowd immediately understood the reason Xu Jingming had gone heavy-handed.

For a moment, they all started cursing the Bai Shan Ability representative team, saying they had it coming.

Not being strong enough is no big deal, but if your character is problematic, you can't blame others for despising you......

"I thought Zhou Chao, who could fly, would last a bit longer. Didn't expect it to still be an instant kill."

"But from this we can also see that Xu Jingming's control over his ability is exquisite!"

"He can wield an SS-rank ability so smoothly! Hard to imagine what tricks he'd pull with an A-rank ability."

"Exactly. If this Lei Ting Storm gets further refined, it's at least a B-rank combat technique!"

"Not just that — Lei Ting Storm combined with Lei Mao is devastatingly lethal against wind-ability users too."

"......"

Compared with ordinary spectators, the instructors of the major universities paid more attention to Xu Jingming's precise control over his ability.

To wear the crown, one must bear its weight.

The difficulty of controlling an SS-rank ability is terrifyingly high!

Yet Xu Jingming was able to manipulate it into a Lei Ting Storm with powerful suction.

For an ability user only 19 years old, this is simply inconceivable!

Beyond marveling,

some universities also firmly noted this trait of Xu Jingming's, instructing their own representative teams to be on guard......

"First battle victorious, captain's amazing!"

"Captain's mighty!"

Xu Jingming, walking down from the arena, had just returned to the Magic University spectator section when he was met with a stream of congratulations from his teammates.

"My first round is done. Now it's up to you all." Xu Jingming said with a smile.

In the individual event, anyone who makes the top eight gets a reward.

Naturally, the more Magic University contestants who make the top eight, the better.

"No problem, guaranteed to pass!"

Yao Fang and the others all thumped their chests in assurance.

Their opponents weren't too strong; each of them had a win rate of nearly 70%.

As for Kong Shi and Yao Fang, both at mid fourth-tier, their win rates were as high as 90%!

The individual event continued. Having finished his match, Xu Jingming sat down beside Song Qiuyun to watch the battles with her.

The afternoon's individual event had eight rounds in total, and almost every round went the full 30 minutes.

Among them, Kong Shi and the others performed extremely strongly, all advancing into the top 32.

Xu Jingming also watched the match of Capital University representative team captain Wang Qi.

Pseudo-S-rank earth-element ability, plus a fourth-tier upper rank.

It let him also win his match in under ten seconds.

Although earth-element abilities don't have the same visual impact as lightning-element ones,

as an absolute favorite to win the individual event, he had plenty of supporters.

When he fought, nearly the entire stadium was chanting his name.

After stepping off the stage, Wang Qi even deliberately glanced toward Xu Jingming's side, a burning fighting spirit seeming to kindle in his eyes.

In response, Xu Jingming naturally glared back without backing down.

"The individual event's round of 64 to top 32 has concluded. Today's matches end here.

Tomorrow's matches will begin promptly at nine in the morning! Please exit in an orderly fashion."

By six in the afternoon, the individual event ended and the spectators rose and left the stadium.

Today was only the first day of the competition, yet the spectacular battles still left them somewhat wanting more.

Even as they were leaving, they were still arguing themselves red in the face over their favorite competitors with others.

"Xiaoming, we're getting ready to head back to the villa. Want to come along?" Aunt's family also rose and prepared to leave.

"You all go ahead, I'll leave a bit later." Xu Jingming shook his head.

Going out at this time, he was afraid of being blocked right at the stadium entrance and unable to get out.

"What about Qiuyun?" Cousin Tang Qi smiled and looked at Song Qiuyun.

Although the time they'd been in contact wasn't all that long, her impression of Song Qiuyun was very good.

"I'll go with Jingming, a bit later as well." Song Qiuyun hugged Xu Jingming's arm and smiled.

"Alright then, we'll head off first."

Tang Qi wasn't too surprised by this, waved her hand, and led Aunt and Uncle out first.

As for Qi Dongxia, she naturally had no interest in staying behind to be a third wheel, and left with them as well.

Just as the group left together, teacher Yang Zhentian walked over from the Mo Da spectator section.

"Teacher (Dean)."

Xu Jingming and Song Qiuyun hurriedly called out respectfully.

"Mm."

Yang Zhentian nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Xu Jingming:

"Lei Ting Wu Guan, Furious Bear Wu Guan, Blazing Light Legion, Polar Day Guild and many other powers have all sent you invitations through me.

They want to ask if you'd be interested in having a private chat with them."

The various major powers, upon learning that Xu Jingming possessed an SSS-rank ability, were eager to recruit him.

But Xu Jingming was, after all, still a current student at Mo Da.

Moreover, this was during the National Collegiate League period, and they didn't dare to bypass Mo Da to make private contact.

So they could only notify him through this method.

"Private chat? Is this to recruit me?"

Xu Jingming's sword brows rose slightly, but he still decided to first seek Teacher Yang's opinion:

"Teacher, what do you suggest?"

"It's up to you. If you want to learn a bit about them first, you could chat with them and see.

If you don't want to, forget it — I can just decline them all for you."

In fact, it wasn't only Xu Jingming.

All competitors participating in the National Collegiate League would receive recruitment from various powers.

For those senior fourth-year students, Yang Zhentian naturally suggested they get more exposure, so they'd have a decent path after graduation.

But Xu Jingming was only a freshman, so there was no need to rush at all.

"Then Teacher, please decline them all for me." After a moment's thought, Xu Jingming replied.

"Knew you'd say that. Alright, I'll decline them all for you right now."

Waving his hand, Yang Zhentian strode off.

There were quite a few powers that had sent invitations to Xu Jingming — the decline calls alone would take him a while.

"Jingming, why not go learn about them first?"

Song Qiuyun beside him tilted her head, a little puzzled.

Even for their Song family, these powers — each possessing more than one ninth-tier Martial Saint — were towering giants.

Leaning on such a power, future development would also be extremely smooth.

"Because I don't need to."

Xu Jingming rubbed Song Qiuyun's little head, and didn't explain too much.

With the Deep Blue System, he hardly needed any external resource supply.

As for combat techniques and manuals, Mo Da nowadays could also meet his needs, so there was no need to look into other powers.

"Is that so?" Song Qiuyun nodded half-understandingly.

That adorably clueless look made Xu Jingming involuntarily stretch out his big hand and wrap it around her slender waist:

"It's still early. There are private training rooms here. After dinner, we can train here for a while before heading back."

"Train?"

Song Qiuyun, not knowing what came to mind, blushed slightly on her pretty face, and let Xu Jingming lead her away......

Ability users must cultivate ability training methods in order to raise their level.

So upon arriving at the private training room, the two immediately began their daily mandatory ability training method cultivation.

Afterwards they each practiced spear and halberd techniques, and only left the stadium past ten at night.

Of course, they didn't take the audience passage, but the secret passage reserved for competing members.

This was also to prevent audience members from deliberately lying in wait and harassing outside the passage.

From the stadium to the villa, there was still a stretch of road of about less than 4 minutes.

Before Xu Jingming and Song Qiuyun had walked half the distance, someone came up from the roadside and blocked their path.

Under the illumination of the streetlight overhead, it was quite obvious that this was a foreign woman.

This woman had golden hair and emerald eyes, her figure wrapped in a black combat suit was curvy in all the right places, sexy and hot.

At this moment, her emerald-green eyes looked over, and she extended her slender right hand:

"Mr. Xu, hello. I represent the William family of the United States and extend to you our sincere greetings."

Her Chinese was very good — no pauses or foreign accent could be detected.

However, Xu Jingming did not respond; he simply looked at her in silence.

The woman seemed to have anticipated this outcome and was not embarrassed.

She calmly retracted her right hand and said softly:

"Mr. Xu, you must understand the purpose of our arrival; I shall not waste your time.

If you are willing to renounce your nationality of Great Xia and join our William Family,

then everything you desire, we can provide for you."
