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

Compared to Song Qiuyun, Jiang Chuxuan's physical condition was slightly better.

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

And the cotton quilts just replaced a short while ago had to be changed again...

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 exertion wasn't that intense.

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

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

He immediately 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 hadn't returned all night.

"So your aunt really called you last night?"

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

"Yes, but my aunt finished at eleven last night."

Song Qiuyun blinked innocently:

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

"You're awfully thoughtful of others."

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

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

"I knew it—Sister Chuxuan isn't much better than me~~"

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

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

"See if we can all ride the fighter jet back together—it'll be more convenient..."

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

At this point, Jiang Chuxuan had woken up; after eating breakfast 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 "poor skill but 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 Metropolis Institute of Esoteric Abilities, several other universities' fighter jets were also parked here.

Seeing Xu Jingming arrive with two stunning beauties clearly delivered another blow to the assembled competitors!

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

"How the hell is he so fast in cultivation, so strong in power, AND still manages to get two girlfriends? This guy's a total time-management master!"

"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 member of the Metropolis Institute 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 esoteric practitioners in Qingxu City...

Metropolis Institute of Esoteric 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 Metropolis Institute team.

After speaking, she and the jet vanished together through the 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 Chuxuan and bolted.

With his fourth-lower-tier strength, carrying both girls in one hand each posed zero burden.

In the blink of an eye, he broke through the encircling crowd of 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, Metropolis Institute's classes resumed.

But for Xu Jingming, whose cultivation had reached the fourth tier and whose gun and fist techniques were already at master level,

These first-year courses were essentially useless.

So every 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 that the No. 9 Civilization Ruin was about to open.

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

Xu Jingming paused slightly — if Principal Ling hadn't brought it up, he would have completely forgotten about the matter.

"That's right."

Hearing Ling Shuang nodded slightly. "According to the pattern of previous years, Civilization Ruin No. 9 will open around April 10th.

Today is April 3rd, so there are only the last seven days before the ruin opens.

Civilization Ruin No. 9 can only accommodate ability users from Fourth-Tier lower rank to Sixth-Tier lower rank.

Right now our school happens to have a Sixth-Tier teacher who doesn't have a pass yet. If you don't want to go, you can sell the pass to him.

You should be able to trade it for a decent S-grade cultivation resource. If you do want to go, then keep it for yourself."

"Civilization Ruin No. 9..." Xu Jingming's face showed a thoughtful look.

For present-day Blue Star, the ancient civilizations were undoubtedly extremely mysterious.

And within the civilization ruins, many good things could also be unearthed.

But because he hadn't prepared in advance, he really hadn't looked into Civilization Ruin No. 9 at all.

So he couldn't help but ask:

"Principal, could you give me a brief introduction to Civilization Ruin No. 9, and the dangers I might encounter after entering the ruin?"

"Of course. Our school's database has a detailed introduction."

Hearing Ling Shuang waved her jade-like hand, and Eva's cute holographic projection instantly appeared in the office.

"Long time no see, S-grade~"

The mechanical electronic voice rang out as Eva bounced around and introduced: "Civilization Ruin No. 9 is located in the Hokkaido region of Sakura Country.

It opens once a year, and the ruin's opening period will last approximately two months or so.

Only personnel holding a pass may enter..."
