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

"You can give me everything I want? Such bold words?" Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow.

"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-Rank Martial Saints and controls ten ancient civilization ruins."

"Over one-third of the U. S. Congress are our people."

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

Three Ninth-Rank Martial Saints!

Their influence extends to national policy!

Song Qiuyun secretly marveled—this William family was utterly beyond comparison with the Song family, which had only one Eighth-Rank 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 talents."

"Mr. Xu, you possess an extremely rare SS-rank ability—naturally, you're a top recruitment target."

"Of course, 前提是 you first acquire U. S. citizenship."

The woman seemed to sense Xu Jingming's surprise and smiled faintly as she explained:

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

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

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

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

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

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

"If your rank were higher, you'd encounter 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 was truly 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 tightly gripped her small hand.

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 Eileen, Fifth-Rank Lower Mental-Type Ability User. Mr. Xu, just call me Eileen."

"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…"

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

Wife?

Song Qiuyun's face flushed red.

Eileen's demeanor left Xu Jingming momentarily speechless.

Holy shit!

A Fifth-Rank ability user from a major family, treating a Third-Rank Upper like this?

Almost humble.

Yet what Xu Jingming didn't know was, for a centuries-old, colossal family like William:

Fifth-Rank ability users could be found anytime.

But an SS-rank ability awakener? Missed once, and you'd miss forever.

"I understand your William 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, ignored Eileen still bowing, and walked away sideways.

SSS-rank resources? And resources beyond SSS-rank?

Such precious resources—wouldn't even Ninth-Rank 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 Eileen slowly straighten her bent waist.

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

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

"Eileen, did the target agree?"

"No, he refused outright."

Fuck! All the Daxia people are this stubborn! Did anyone try psychic control on him?

No, I detected a Level Nine Wu Sheng's psychic defense on him—I didn't dare act rashly.

After Ai Lin finished speaking, there was a long silence before the earpiece responded again:

"It seems Daxia Nation has protected him well. We have no opportunity for now—return first."

"Understood."

Ai Lin gave a slight nod, then vanished instantly from her spot, as if she had never been there...

The next day,

Before eight-thirty in the morning, Xu Jingming led the Mo Da representative team into the stadium.

In the center of the stadium, the arena that had split into four pieces had been reassembled.

Forming a vast 400-meter by 400-meter arena.

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

All battle marks left by Xu Jingming or other psychics had vanished completely.

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

After arriving at Mo Da's spectator seats, Xu Jingming scanned the surroundings.

Besides their own group,

The Qingjing Psychic University and Jincheng Psychic University teams had also arrived.

It must be said that

The National Education Bureau's restoration psychics were extremely effective.

Zhou Chao had been so badly injured yesterday, yet he appeared today.

Aside from his still-pale complexion, he looked fine.

As if sensing Xu Jingming's gaze,

Zhou Chao from the Jincheng Psychic University team instinctively shuddered and quickly hid behind his teammates.

"This guy is this cowardly?"

Shaking his head, Xu Jingming withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at this "startled bird."

Besides the three top-tier universities, members of other university teams gradually entered.

Many spectators in the stands also began taking their seats.

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

Soon, it was exactly nine o'clock.

Almost all the spectator seats in the stadium were filled.

Hum~~~

Accompanied by the sound of machinery activating,

Dozens of cameras around the stadium whirred to life, and the holographic projections overhead lit up.

"Welcome, everyone, for tuning in punctually to this year's National University League!"

With a cheerful voice, the handsome host Feng Le walked onto the stage wearing a sharp suit:

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

The holographic projection above condensed into a team match scoreboard.

Universities that won yesterday—Mo Du Psychic University, Changnan Psychic University, and others—were marked with 1 Win.

Universities that lost—like Bai Shan Psychic University—were marked with 1 Loss.

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

"In yesterday's team matches, only Mo Da among the three top-tier universities competed.

Today, all three top-tier universities will compete!

Enough talk—let the team matches begin!

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

As soon as the host finished speaking, the entire spectator stand erupted in cheers.

"Jingda!"

"Jingda!"

"Lida!"

"Lida!"

"......"

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

There were five team matches in the morning session; Mo Da's match against Su Da was the fourth.

The first three matches lasted about an hour.

At just after ten o'clock, the fourth match began.

"Next is the fourth team match—let's give a round of applause as Mo Du Psychic University and Su Hang Psychic University take the arena!"

The host's loud voice echoed throughout the venue, instantly sparking excited cheers from Mo Da'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.

"Mo Da is on."

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

As the Mo Da team stepped onto the arena, not only the spectators grew eager, but even the mentors from every university perked up instantly.

Under the gaze of thousands, the countdown on the arena ended, and the instant the match began, both teams' abilities erupted!

A fierce surge of ability aura exploded outward!

Right after that, the crowd spotted Xu Jingming's tall figure wreathed in golden lightning.

He shot straight past Kong Shi and the others, surging to the very front, and within moments had pulled dozens of meters ahead of his teammates.

Such a scene instantly stunned the tens of thousands of spectators present.

Xu Jingming's set of movements — why does it feel oddly familiar??
