Chapter 343: Thunder Indestructible Body, Sixth Rank! Lei Long Wing!

The spirit space mentioned by Sakura Rin indeed exists.

Thus, Xu Jingming placed her inside it and carried her with him as he continued harvesting ability points.

The Tianyu Dojo 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—they found not a single clue.

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

June 7th, 10: 0 PM.

The entire ruins space had plunged into darkness.

Only the ancient giant characters etched into the sky still glowed faintly with a countdown.

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 quietly lowered his gaze from the sky and opened his system panel.

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Level】: Fourth-Rank Upper

【Ability】: Doushen Thunder (SS)

【Physique】: 6520 Qi

【Spirit】: 5030 Hz

【Skills】: Spear Technique (Master), Fist Technique (Master), Lei Guan Demon-Slaying Spear (S-Rank, Beginner+), Lei Shen Finger (S-Rank, Beginner+)...

【Physique Training】: Thunder Indestructible Body (S-Rank, Fifth Rank+)

【Ability Points】:

As he had anticipated, by the later stage of the exam, the number of ferocious beasts in the ruins space had dwindled significantly.

In the half-month since he bonded with Sakura Rin, even after desperately hunting and slaying beasts, he had only gained 60, 00 ability points.

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

"Still, it's fine—gaining two minor ranks in a single ruins expedition is already excellent." Xu Jingming thought silently.

If he had gone to a demon cave instead, the efficiency of harvesting ability points would have been even lower.

"The ruins exam is ending soon; tomorrow I'll head to the main base of Civilization Ruins No. 9 to see if I can get something valuable."

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

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

Crack—

Crack—

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

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

Glossy fat dripped from the meat, splashing into the fire and making the flames burn even hotter.

Beside the fire sat a slender woman clad in a tight black combat suit.

She periodically turned the branches to ensure the meat roasted evenly.

Occasionally, she sprinkled seasoning over it.

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

"Master, the meat is ready..."

Sakura Rin carefully removed a skewer and respectfully offered it to the burly figure seated on the ground.

"Not bad—your grilling skills are improving."

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

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

simple tasks like grilling meat were still within her capacity.

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 your guidance, Master," Sakura Rin murmured, lowering her head slightly.

She spoke the truth.

As an S-Rank from Sakura Country, she had barely cooked a meal, let alone grilled meat like this.

Without Xu Jingming's instruction, she would still be unable to properly control the heat.

After a pause, Sakura Rin asked curiously:

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

"Yes."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly:

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

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

It will remain open for roughly a day—enough time for everyone to leave.

But the Eighth-Rank Grand Master from Sakura Country may still be waiting outside.

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

Yet, in his rage, that Eighth-Rank Grand Master might lash out at other Great Xia teams.

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

After eating his fill, Xu Jingming—having hunted ferocious beasts all day—had nearly restored his state to peak condition.

"Time to spend the points, Deep Blue!"

Taking a deep breath, Xu Jingming slammed his finger down on the plus sign beside Physique Training!

Ability Points -52, 00!

【Physique Training】: Thunder Indestructible Body, Fifth Rank → Sixth Rank!

【Physique】: 6520 Qi → 8034!

BOOM!!!

Boundless Qi erupted within Xu Jingming; his bones, muscles, and meridians strengthened rapidly!

Immediately, a savage aura, like that of a top-tier dragon beast, ravaged the entire cave.

"Ah~~"

Sakura Rin, already weakened, stood beside the fire and, under the crushing pressure,

let out a trembling cry and collapsed onto the ground.

"What... is this?"

Sakura Rin stared at Xu Jingming seated not far across from her, her face filled with shock.

She felt he was no longer human—he resembled a terrifying beast!

The savage aura continued to climb for three or four minutes before reaching its peak, then gradually receded.

"Thunder Indestructible Body—Sixth Rank!" Xu Jingming slowly opened his eyes.

Unlike before,

even without entering Thunder Extreme State, a faint air of noble, detached coldness now lingered in his gaze.

Under this pressure, Sakura Rin's body trembled involuntarily; she quickly bowed respectfully:

"Congratulations, Master, on your Physique Training breakthrough!"

At the same time, Sakura Rin silently marveled within.

She had long known from Tianyu Dojo's internal records that Xu Jingming trained a Physique Technique.

But she never imagined the commotion during its breakthrough would be so astonishing!

Merely the aura's surge had made her, a Fifth-Rank Lower Ability User, feel her heart tremble.

She couldn't imagine how terrifying the scene would be in actual combat.

"Such a hard-won breakthrough deserves proper congratulations."

A faint smile appeared on Xu Jingming's otherwise ordinary face.

Last time, when Thunder Indestructible Body broke from Fourth to Fifth Rank, his Qi increased by over a thousand.

This time, it surged by over fifteen hundred Qi!

His Qi had now broken the eight-thousand threshold!

He could feel his Qi surging like a mighty river, endless and unceasing.

His entire body felt as if it held boundless strength!

More crucially, with Thunder Indestructible Body reaching Sixth Rank,

He had acquired a vital ability from the Thunder Dragon, the original source of the foundation for his Indestructible Body!

Lei Long Wing!

Yes—the flight ability that the Thunder Dragon prized so dearly now belonged to Xu Jingming.
