Chapter 275: Team Match Round Two! The Familiar Scene Again!

"You can give me everything I want? Such bold words?" Xu Jingming's sword-like eyebrows lifted slightly.

"It's not boldness—it's that we truly can."

The woman shook her head and introduced herself:

"Mr. Xu, in Great Xia, it's natural you haven't heard of our William family."

"In fact, our William family has three Ninth-Stage Martial Saints and controls ten ancient civilization ruins."

"Over one-third of the U. . Congress members are ours."

"Our family can even influence many of America's major decisions."

Three Ninth-Stage Martial Saints!

Influence extending to national policy!

Song Qiuyun silently marveled—this William family was utterly beyond comparison to the Song family, which had only one Eighth-Stage Grand Master.

In fact, not just Song Qiuyun, even Xu Jingming was slightly surprised.

He hadn't expected America to send such a powerful faction to recruit him right away.

"Our William family loves to absorb geniuses."

"Mr. Xu, you possess an extremely rare SS-class ability—you're naturally one of our top recruitment targets."

"Of course, Qiantishi you first acquire U. . citizenship."

The woman, as if sensing Xu Jingming's surprise, smiled faintly and explained:

"Once you join us, whether it's SS-class resources, SSS-class resources…"

"Even resources beyond SSS-class—we can provide them all to you…"

After introducing the William family, the woman immediately extended her olive branch.

Beyond SSS-class? There's such a thing?

Xu Jingming's heart stirred—he felt he'd just stumbled upon something monumental.

"Mr. Xu, your level is still low, so it's normal you don't know about SSS-class beyond."

"Once your level rises further, you'll enter an even broader world."

She paused, glanced at Song Qiuyun, then added:

"Our William family's sincerity goes beyond resources."

"Even young, beautiful girls like this—you want how many? I can find them all for you…"

The woman's words made Song Qiuyun frown slightly.

Yet she knew—if the William family truly was as powerful as described, they could easily do exactly this.

And that was precisely what she feared…

Xu Jingming keenly sensed Song Qiuyun's emotional shift and gripped her small hand tightly.

Then he frowned and asked:

"Are you a mental-type ability user?"

To guess her thoughts once could be luck; to guess them twice couldn't be explained by luck alone.

"William Elin, Fifth-Stage Lower Mental-Type Ability User. Mr. Xu, just call me Elin."

"What I did just now was merely a minor trick of a mental-type ability user. If I offended you…"

"I sincerely apologize to you and your wife…"

Elin immediately bowed deeply, her emerald eyes devoid of any pretense.

Wife?

Song Qiuyun's face flushed red.

Elin's demeanor left Xu Jingming momentarily speechless.

Damn!

A Fifth-Stage Ability User from a prestigious family, treating a Third-Stage Upper like this?

Almost humble.

Yet what Xu Jingming didn't know was that, for a centuries-old giant like the William family,

Fifth-Stage Ability Users could be found anytime.

But an SS-class awakened ability user? Missed, and you'd never get another chance.

"I understand your family's intent."

"But I have no interest in betraying my homeland, and never will. Don't come looking for me again."

Xu Jingming shook his head, ignoring Elin still bowing, and stepped past her to the side.

SSS-class resources? And beyond SSS-class?

Such precious resources—wouldn't even Ninth-Stage Martial Saints fight over them?

He didn't believe he'd get them even if he went.

Besides, with the Deep Blue System, no matter how good the resources, they'd only be icing on the cake.

More importantly, Magic University treated him well—he couldn't bring himself to betray his country…

"Failed, then…"

Only after Xu Jingming left did Elin slowly straighten her bowed back.

Her beautiful emerald eyes watched his retreating figure, shimmering with endless allure.

At the same time, a low voice came through her earpiece:

"Elin, did the target agree?"

"No. He refused outright."

"F**k! Great Xia people are this stubborn! Did you use mental control on him?"

"No. I sensed a Ninth-Stage Martial Saint's mental defense on him—I dared not act rashly."

After Elin finished speaking, silence stretched—then the earpiece finally replied:

"Great Xia's protection for him is thorough. We have no opening for now. Return."

"Understood."

Elin nodded slightly, then vanished instantly from the spot—as if she'd never been there…

The next day,

Before eight-thirty, Xu Jingming led the Magic University team into the stadium.

In the center, the arena, previously split into four sections, had been reassembled.

Forming a vast 400-meter by 400-meter fighting platform.

Notably, this alloy arena incorporated memory metal, granting it self-repairing properties.

All battle marks left by Xu Jingming or any other ability users had vanished.

The entire alloy arena was as smooth and pristine as a mirror.

Upon reaching Magic University's spectator seats, Xu Jingming scanned the surroundings.

Besides his own group,

Representatives from Qingjing Ability University and Jincheng Ability University had also arrived.

It must be said,

The National Education Bureau's restoration ability users were impressively effective.

Zhou Chao, who'd been so badly injured yesterday, was present today.

Though his face remained pale, he appeared otherwise unharmed.

As if sensing Xu Jingming's gaze,

Zhou Chao from Jincheng Ability University instinctively shuddered and quickly hid behind his teammates.

"This guy's really that cowardly?"

Shaking his head, Xu Jingming turned away, no longer looking at this "startled bird."

Besides the three top universities, other university team members gradually entered.

Spectator seats around the arena began filling with audiences.

Song Qiuyun and her aunt had already arrived with Xu Jingming earlier.

Soon, it was nine o'clock sharp.

Nearly every seat in the stadium was occupied.

Hum~~~

As machinery whirred to life,

Dozens of cameras around the stadium spun into motion, and the holographic projections above lit up.

"Welcome, everyone, to the National University League!"

With a cheerful voice, the handsome host Feng Le stepped onto the stage in a sharp suit:

"Today is the second day of the League. Before today's team matches, let's review yesterday's results…"

Above, the holographic projection formed a team match scoreboard.

Magic University, Changnan Ability University, and others who won were marked with 1 win.

Bai Mountain Ability University and others who lost were marked with 1 loss.

Universities like Qingjing Ability University, who hadn't competed yet, had zero wins and losses.

"In yesterday's team matches, only Magic University among the three top universities competed.

And today's team competition features all three top universities!

No more delay—the team competition begins now!

Please welcome Qingjing Psychic University and Li'an Psychic University to the stage!

No sooner had the host finished speaking than the entire audience erupted in cheers and support.

"Jingda!"

"Jingda!"

"Lida!"

"Lida!"

"......"

Amid the roaring chants from both sides' fans, the team competition officially began...

There were five matches in the morning's team competition; the match between Moda and Suda was the fourth.

The first three matches lasted nearly an hour.

The fourth match only began after ten o'clock.

"Now for match four of the team competition—please give a round of applause as Shanghai Psychic University and Hangzhou Psychic University take the stage!"

The host's loud voice echoed throughout the arena, instantly sparking excited roars from Moda's supporters.

"It's our turn—let's go."

Xu Jingming took a deep breath and led Kong Shi and the others onto the arena.

"Moda is on the field."

"Their opponents are Suda, last year's fourth-place team—this should finally reveal more of Xu Jingming's true strength, right?"

As soon as Moda's team appeared, not only did the audience grow eager, but every university's mentor instantly perked up.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, the arena's countdown ended—and the moment the match began, both teams unleashed their psychic powers!

Powerful psychic energy surged outward in an instant!

Then everyone saw it: Xu Jingming's towering figure, wreathed in golden lightning.

He bypassed Kong Shi and the others entirely, charging straight to the front, quickly pulling dozens of meters ahead of his team.

This sight left the tens of thousands of spectators momentarily stunned.

Why did Xu Jingming's move feel so familiar??
