Chapter 309

Psychic Points -51,000

Level: Third-Order Upper → Fourth-Order Lower!

Crackling—

Brilliant golden lightning swirled around Xu Jingming, and the already ferocious power of Dou Tian Shen Lei surged again!

Xu Jingming's physical body and spirit also surged upward!

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Level】: Fourth-Order Lower

【Psychic Ability】: Dou Tian Shen Lei (SS)

【Physical】: 4815 Qi (++)

【Spirit】: 3324 He (++)

【Skills】: Spear Technique (Master), Fist Technique (Master), Lei Guan Mo Sha Qiang (Beginner), Lei Shen Zhi (Beginner)......

【Body Cultivation】: Thunder Indestructible Body (Fifth Stage)

【Psychic Points】: 132

On the system panel, the 51,000 psychic points had dwindled to just 132 points.

Xu Jingming's level had risen to Fourth-Order Lower, and his two core attributes—physical and spirit—had each increased by a full 700 points!

"Fourth order..." Xu Jingming slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, a faint thrill glimmering in his eyes.

Psychic users range from first to ninth order—nine levels total—and only upon reaching fourth order does one truly begin.

He could also feel that his SS-rank psychic ability, Dou Tian Shen Lei, had grown significantly stronger.

Its maximum range had expanded from the original 40 meters to roughly 50 meters.

"If I activate Thunder Extreme State, this range could increase even further."

In the future, killing low-order beasts won't even require my spear—I can just charge into the horde.

Then activate my ability and easily gain a massive wave of psychic points."

In cold weapons, the spear is unquestionably the king—length grants dominance.

But this applies only to enhancement-type psychic users; for elemental or nature-type psychic users,

their psychic range far exceeds that of cold weapons, and their efficiency in slaying beasts is far higher.

"Forty-six minutes until nine o'clock. Rest for now, prepare for the coming battle..."

Glancing at the time on his smart band, Xu Jingming slowly closed his eyes and entered a light sleep state.

Mo Da had eight competing contestants.

Under normal circumstances, at least five or six should survive until the seventh day of the survival match.

But now, under the joint extermination of Jing University and Jin University, only he and Gu Wan remain.

This score must be settled with Jing University and Jin University later...

Time slowly passed.

For the impending bloodiest phase of the survival match, every spectator in the stands held their breath.

Even the instructors in the inner seating area fixed their gaze intently on the holographic projection.

Thus, amid tense silence, the clock struck nine o'clock!

"Ding-ding-ding! Time has reached nine o'clock. Arena map and contestant positions have been updated."

"Ding-ding-ding! Time has reached nine o'clock..."

On every contestant's smart band within the survival arena, urgent alert tones rang out.

"The map's been updated."

Wang Qi and the others, who had been waiting, immediately opened their smart bands—suddenly, a holographic map appeared before them.

It was a detailed map marking forests, open fields, grasslands, and other terrains.

Twenty-eight light dots were scattered across the map, representing the twenty-eight remaining contestants.

Each light dot displayed names, scores, and other information.

Wang Qi quickly located the dot representing Xu Jingming—roughly eight kilometers from their position.

"Found him! Captain, should we encircle him now?"

Zou Taizhi asked, his expression eager.

He could hardly wait to smash his fists into Xu Jingming's body.

"Gu Wan from Mo Da is closer—only about four kilometers away. We eliminate her first."

Wang Qi had not forgotten the profound impression left by Mo Da's auxiliary psychic user, capable of powerful buffs.

Eliminating her now would remove a variable.

"No wonder you're captain—so thorough!" Zou Taizhi gave a thumbs-up.

"Stop flattering me. Let's move! Don't let Gu Wan and Xu Jingming link up!"

Gripping his battle blade, Wang Qi led the group sprinting toward Gu Wan's position on the map...

"Wang Qi and Han Shan's positions are overlapping—they've definitely allied!"

Deep within the dense forest,

Gu Wan stared at the map projection on her smart band, her expression darkening.

She had suspected this possibility days ago, but dared not be certain.

Now, with the map revealed, it was confirmed beyond doubt!

As she pondered,

On the map, eleven light dots representing Wang Qi's group rapidly moved toward her location.

"They're after me! They don't want me to reunite with the captain?!"

Gu Wan immediately understood the purpose of Wang Qi and the others: "No, we can't let them catch us."

Otherwise, with only the captain alone, there'll be no chance to turn the tide! Ten Thousand Spirit Lights!"

With a sharp cry, Gu Wan unleashed her ability to its absolute limit, then sprinted forward with her long legs toward Xu Jingming's position.

Her S-rank combat technique, Spirit Light Blessing, can boost the captain's power by nearly 30%!

Under current circumstances, fleeing is useless—only reunion can give us a fighting chance.

"You've eliminated everyone else, yet still dare to hunt down the last member of Mo Da? You're asking for death!"

Xu Jingming also noticed the movements of Wang Qi's group and Gu Wan on the map.

He let out a cold snort, his eyes faintly glinting with icy killing intent, then transformed into a black phantom and vanished swiftly.

Although Wang Qi's group moved faster than Gu Wan,

they were chasing toward her, while Gu Wan and Xu Jingming were rushing toward each other.

Thus, even with full speed, Wang Qi's group still failed to catch up to Gu Wan.

She reached Xu Jingming first.

"Captain!"

On the flat grassland, Gu Wan, having sprinted all the way, saw Xu Jingming in the distance.

She finally exhaled in relief, her pace slowing slightly.

"Senior." Seeing Gu Wan showed no visible injuries, Xu Jingming gave a slight nod.

"Captain, let's run now—Wang Qi's team is uneven in strength.

With my support ability, they won't be able to catch us!"

Gu Wan hurriedly said.

Her own sprinting speed wasn't particularly fast, but she weighed less than 120 jin.

If Xu Jingming carried her while fleeing, even Wang Qi might not catch them.

Yet, facing Gu Wan's suggestion, Xu Jingming shook his head:

"No. We wait for them right here."

"Wait for them here?! This..."

Gu Wan froze slightly, then realized Xu Jingming intended to fight them here.

But they have eleven people—our chance of victory is far too slim!

Though she longed to argue, she remembered Xu Jingming was captain, with absolute authority.

So she held back, took a deep breath, and nodded solemnly with a touch of respect:

"I understand."

"Gu Wan and Xu Jingming have reunited!"

On the other side, Zou Taizhi watched the two light dots meet on the map and his expression shifted slightly.

If they flee together, our group might not catch them at all!

Yet what he didn't expect was that after the two light dots merged,

they showed no intention to flee—instead, they stood still.

"Huh?" Zou Taizhi was baffled. What's going on?

"Are they trying to avenge their teammate?"

Wang Qi, however, understood Xu Jingming's intent: "Too bad—they lack the power. They'll only be throwing away their lives.

Better this way. Saves us the trouble of searching for them."

He shook his head and led Zou Taizhi's group to accelerate their advance.

"What's happening? Lei Di's group isn't running!"

"Run! Run fast! Lei Di's score alone far exceeds any of theirs! If you just hold out till the end, Mo Da wins!"

In the sports arena,

seeing Xu Jingming standing still with no intention to flee, many Mo Da supporters grew frantic!

Some even wished they could take his place, dragging Gu Wan away to safety!

But sadly, their voices were confined to the arena—they couldn't reach the competition zone.

They could only watch the holographic projection anxiously, hoping for some miracle.

Amidst a clatter of footsteps, just over ten minutes later, Wang Qi's group appeared in Xu Jingming's line of sight.

"Xu Jingming! You actually didn't run?!"

After sprinting all this way, Wang Qi finally saw Xu Jingming and exhaled in relief.

At this distance, even if Xu Jingming wanted to flee, it was too late!

"Do you think I need to run from a bunch of trash?"

Xu Jingming's cold, clear black-and-white eyes fixed on Wang Qi's group, his low voice barely containing fury.

Kong Shi and the others had still had a chance for better results—but because of the alliance between Jing University and Jin University, they were forced into early elimination.

How could he, as captain of Mo Da's team, not be furious?

"Trash? I hope when we eliminate you, you don't scream too loudly..."

At this point, Wang Qi had nothing more to say.

He let out a cold snort, his Earth-element ability erupting—Thick Earth Body activated, a heavy aura surging from his body.

"Life Share!"

At the same time, Han Shan, captain of Jin University's team, activated his SS-rank combat technique.

More than ten dazzling beams of light connected him and everyone including Wang Qi together!!

"Xu Jingming! You don't stand a chance!

Surrender now, and you can still leave some face for the Magic Academy. Otherwise, once we start fighting, it won't look pretty."

Han Shan couldn't help but advise loudly.

"Surrender? The ones who should surrender are you! Doushen Shenlei!"

Accompanying a deep and majestic voice, violent golden Lei Ting suddenly erupted from Xu Jingming's body!

At the same moment, an incomparably powerful aura suddenly Lei Kuangyong from his body, filling the entire grassland!

This aura was so powerful that it was in no way inferior to Wang Qi and the others!

"This is... the aura of a Fourth-Tier lower position? You've broken through?!!"

Feeling the completely different, powerful aura on Xu Jingming's body compared to before.

Everyone, including Wang Qi, instantly changed expression!!
