Chapter 343: Lei Ting Bu Mie Shen Sixth Rank! Lei Long Yi!

The spirit realm that Sakura Rin mentioned does indeed exist.

So Xu Jingming placed it inside and carried it with him, then resumed harvesting ability points.

As for the Tianyu Dojo, they soon noticed Sakura Rin's team had vanished.

They immediately began searching the entire ruins space.

But Xu Jingming had destroyed all traces too thoroughly, leaving them with not a single clue.

They could only repeat their searches over and over again...

June 7th, 10:00 PM.

The entire ruins space had plunged into darkness.

Only the ancient giant characters in the sky, displaying the countdown, emitted a faint glow.

Remaining exam time: 0 days, 11 hours, 23 minutes.

"There's less than a day left until the exam ends."

In the dense forest, Xu Jingming silently lowered his gaze from the sky and opened his system panel.

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Level】: Fourth Tier Upper

【Ability】: Dou Tian Shenlei (SS)

【Physique】: 6520 Qi

【Spirit】: 5030 Hz

【Skills】: Gunplay (Master), Fistplay (Master), Lei Guan Mo Sha Qiang (S-Rank, Beginner+), Lei Shen Zhi (S-Rank, Beginner+)...

【Body Cultivation】: Lei Ting Bu Mie Shen (S-Rank, Fifth Rank+)

【Ability Points】:

As he had anticipated, by the later stage of the exam, the monstrous beasts in the ruins space had become scarce.

In the half-month since contracting Sakura Rin, despite his frantic efforts to hunt and kill monsters, he had only gained 60,000 ability points.

The efficiency was nothing compared to when he first entered the ruins space.

"Still, it's fine—gaining two sub-levels in a single ruins trip is already quite good," Xu Jingming thought silently.

If he went to a Demon Cave instead, the efficiency of harvesting ability points would be even lower.

"The ruins exam is ending soon; tomorrow I must go to the main base of Civilization Ruin No. 9 and see if I can get something valuable."

"But before that, I need to spend these ability points first."

A flicker of Lei Guang, and Xu Jingming's figure vanished from the spot.

Crack—

Crack—

Inside a cave, firelight flickered, wood crackled, and branches threaded with large chunks of meat rested over the flames.

Under the heat, the meat had turned slightly golden and crispy.

Glossy fat dripped from the meat, splashing into the fire, making the flames burn even more fiercely.

Beside the fire sat a slender woman clad in a form-fitting pure black combat suit.

She periodically turned the branches to ensure even roasting of the meat.

Occasionally, she sprinkled seasoning over them.

The aroma of roasted meat mingled with the scent of spices, spreading throughout the cave and stimulating the appetite.

"Master, the meat is ready..."

Sakura Rin took a skewer from the fire and respectfully offered it to the burly figure seated on the ground.

"Not bad—your roasting skills are improving."

Xu Jingming took a bite, savoring the rich aroma, and smiled in praise.

Although Sakura Rin remained weak and unable to use her ability due to the side effects of the Blood Surge Pill,

simple tasks like roasting meat were still within her capability.

And during this time, Xu Jingming had enjoyed a life of ease—food served to him, clothes handed to him.

"It's all thanks to Master's training," Sakura Rin whispered, lowering her head slightly.

She spoke the truth.

As a Level S-ranked from Sakura Country, she had barely cooked a meal, let alone roasted meat like this.

Without Xu Jingming's guidance, she likely still wouldn't have mastered the heat control.

After a pause, Sakura Rin asked curiously:

"Master, are we going to the main base tomorrow?"

"Mm."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly:

"Once we reach the civilization ruins' main base and claim the exam reward, I'll find an opportunity to let you go."

When the exam ends, the space gate of the ruins will reopen.

It will remain open for about a day—plenty of time for everyone to leave.

But the Sakura Country's Eighth-Tier Master Zongshi may still be waiting outside the ruins.

If Sakura Rin departs first and leaks his whereabouts, he can escape using the space beast bone.

Yet under furious rage, that Eighth-Tier Master Zongshi might lash out at other Xia Dynasty teams.

For safety's sake, before leaving, he will still imprison Sakura Rin somewhere first...

After eating his fill, Xu Jingming, who had hunted monsters all day, had nearly restored his state to peak condition.

"It's time to start adding points, Deep Blue!"

Taking a deep breath, Xu Jingming abruptly tapped the plus sign behind the Body Tempering column on the system panel!

Ability Points -52,000!

【Body Tempering】: Lei Ting Immortal Body, Fifth Layer → Sixth Layer!

【Physique】: 6520 Qi-Blood → 8034!

Boom!!!

Endless qi-blood erupted within Xu Jingming's body, his bones, muscles, and meridians all rapidly strengthening!

Immediately after, a violent aura like that of a top-tier dragon-type fierce beast ravaged the entire cavern.

"Ah~~"

Standing by the fire, Sakuragi Rin, already in a weakened state, was beneath this powerful oppressive aura.

Let out a trembling, delicate cry and collapsed onto the ground.

"This is...?"

Sakuragi Rin stared at Xu Jingming, who sat cross-legged not far opposite her, with a look of horror on her pretty face.

She felt that what sat there was not a human, but rather a terrifying fierce beast!

The violent aura continued to climb, lasting a full three or four minutes before reaching its limit, then gradually receding.

"Lei Ting Immortal Body, reached the Sixth Layer!" Xu Jingming slowly opened his eyes.

Unlike before,

Even without entering the Thunder Extreme State, one could faintly see in his eyes a noble, cold arrogance as if looking down on all living beings.

Under the pressure of this aura, Sakuragi Rin's body could not help but tremble slightly, and she hurriedly said respectfully:

"Congratulations, Master, on your body tempering breakthrough!"

At the same time, Sakuragi Rin was secretly marveling in her heart.

She had long known from internal materials of the Tianyu Dojo that Xu Jingming practiced a body-tempering combat art.

But she hadn't expected that the commotion of this body-tempering combat art's breakthrough would be so astonishing!

The aura alone bursting forth made her, a Fifth-Tier lower ability user, feel her heart palpitate.

Hard to imagine, if this were a real battle, what a terrifying scene it would be.

"A hard-won breakthrough, indeed deserves proper congratulations."

A faint smile appeared on Xu Jingming's unremarkable face.

Last time, when Lei Ting Immortal Body broke through from the Fourth Layer to the Fifth Layer, it increased qi-blood by over a thousand.

And this breakthrough increased qi-blood by a full fifteen hundred!

Directly pushing his qi-blood past the eight-thousand mark!

He could feel the qi-blood within his body surging endlessly like a great river.

His whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength!

More critically, Lei Ting Immortal Body had entered the Sixth Layer.

He had also obtained an extremely crucial ability from the Thunderstorm Dragon that originally served as the foundation for shaping the Immortal Body!

Thunder Dragon Wings!

That's right, the flight ability the Thunderstorm Dragon took pride in had been obtained by Xu Jingming!
