Chapter 318: Back to School! The Ruin Is About to Open!

Compared to Song Qiuyun, Jiang Chu's physical condition was slightly better due to her higher rank.

But not by much—within an hour of moving from the bathroom to the bedroom, she surrendered again.

And the cotton quilts that had just been replaced a few days ago were changed once more...

Because they had to board a fighter jet back to school at nine the next morning, and had already slept eight or nine hours in the afternoon.

The evening's exertions weren't particularly taxing.

So the next morning, before seven o'clock, Xu Jingming woke up.

Jiang Chu was still fast asleep beside him; Xu Jingming kissed her forehead.

He then put on his clothes and stepped out of the bedroom to prepare breakfast.

But as soon as he stepped out, he saw a slender figure already seated on the living room sofa.

It was Song Qiuyun, who had not returned home the entire night.

"So your aunt really called you last night?"

Xu Jingming now sensed something odd, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Yes, but my aunt finished up by eleven last night."

Song Qiuyun blinked innocently:

"But I thought Chuixuan and you hadn't seen each other in a long time, so I just stayed overnight with my aunt—I only just got back."

"You're awfully thoughtful of others."

He gave Song Qiuyun's firm buttocks a firm slap, making her shiver, then walked toward the kitchen:

"Come on, Senior Sister's a bit weak—let's get breakfast ready first."

"I knew it—Chuixuan isn't any better than me~~"

Song Qiuyun's face flushed pink; she stuck out her pink tongue and hurried after him into the kitchen.

"You're proud of yourself? By the way, I'll ask Principal Ling later.

See if we can get you two to ride the fighter jet back to school too—it'd be more convenient..."

After finishing breakfast, it was nearly eight in the morning.

By then, Jiang Chu had woken up; after eating and drinking some Earth Spirit Spring water, she was fully restored.

Her eyes held boundless tenderness as she gazed at him.

If they weren't returning to school so soon, Xu Jingming guessed she'd cling to him like Song Qiuyun and demand another round or two.

That's what they called "weak skill, strong desire."

Vice Principal Ling Shuang's fighter jet could carry over fifty people, with many seats still empty.

After receiving Vice Principal Ling Shuang's approval, Xu Jingming brought the two girls to the airfield in Qingxu City.

At this moment, besides the Mado Institute of Psychic Abilities, several other universities' fighter jets were also parked here.

Seeing Xu Jingming arrive with two stunning beauties was another crushing blow to the assembled competitors.

"No way! Lei Di has a girlfriend? And two of them?"

"How the hell does he train so fast, get so strong, AND land two girlfriends? He's clearly a master of time management!"

"This is insane!"

"..."

The competitors once again witnessed Xu Jingming's prowess—but this time, it wasn't just his combat strength.

"Everyone's here! Departure!"

As the last Mado member boarded the jet, Ling Shuang flashed inside in an instant.

The jet's engines roared to life and shot skyward!

Flying at several times the speed of sound, it vanished into the horizon before the eyes of countless psychic abilities users in Qingxu City...

Mado Institute of Psychic Abilities, largest Field No. 4.

A grand welcome ceremony had been prepared; as the jet landed and Xu Jingming and the others stepped out,

Over a thousand students immediately erupted into thunderous cheers and applause!!

Amid the cheers, Ling Shuang spoke a few words on behalf of the Mado team.

After speaking, she and the jet vanished together through a spatial gate.

Only Xu Jingming and the others remained, bewildered, facing the enthusiastic students.

"Ahem, I've got something to attend to—Vice Captain Kong Shi, Senior Yao, I'm leaving this to you."

Sensing trouble, Xu Jingming grabbed Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu and bolted.

With his fourth-rank lower-tier strength, carrying both girls felt effortless.

In the blink of an eye, he broke through the encircling students.

"Huh?!"

When Kong Shi finally reacted and tried to follow Xu Jingming's example, the circle had already closed.

With no choice, he had to stay behind and deal with the enthusiastic classmates...

With the National University League over, Mado's classes resumed.

But for Xu Jingming, whose rank had reached fourth tier and whose gun and fist techniques were already master-level,

These first-year courses were of little use.

So each day, besides his own training, he went to Professor Yang Zhentian for private instruction.

In his spare time, he also researched materials on the No. 6 Demon Cave to prepare thoroughly for its eventual entry.

On the third day after Xu Jingming returned to school, Vice Principal Ling Shuang summoned him again.

From her, he learned a piece of news: the No. 9 Civilization Ruin was about to open.

"No. 9 Civilization Ruin? That ruin access pass you gave me during the study trip?"

Xu Jingming paused, startled—he'd forgotten about it entirely until Ling Shuang mentioned it.

"That's right."

Ling Shuang nodded slightly. "According to past patterns, the No. 9 Civilization Ruin opens around April 10th.

Today is April 3rd—only seven days remain until the ruin opens.

The No. 9 Civilization Ruin only permits psychic abilities users from fourth-rank lower-tier to sixth-rank lower-tier to enter.

Right now, our school has a sixth-rank teacher without an access pass; if you don't want to go, you can sell it to him.

You'd likely get a decent S-class cultivation resource. If you want to go, keep it."

"No. 9 Civilization Ruin..." Xu Jingming's expression turned thoughtful.

For today's Blue Star, ancient civilizations were profoundly mysterious.

And ancient ruins often yielded many valuable treasures.

But since he hadn't prepared in advance, he knew nothing about the No. 9 Civilization Ruin.

So he asked:

"Principal, could you give me a brief introduction to the No. 9 Civilization Ruin—and what dangers might I face inside?"

"Of course. Our school's database has detailed information."

Ling Shuang waved her hand; Iva's adorable holographic projection instantly appeared in the office.

"Long time no see, S-class~"

A mechanical voice chimed as Iva bounced cheerfully: "The No. 9 Civilization Ruin is located in Hokkaido, Sakura Nation.

It opens once a year and remains accessible for about two months.

Only those holding an access pass may enter..."
