Chapter 349

"SS-class ability: Doushen Thunder!"

"So the beast hunter is Da Xia's SS-class Xu Jingming!"

"Whoa! Such an expert disguise—I completely failed to see through it!"

"Only fourth-rank lower tier, yet dares to enter the No. 9 Civilization Ruin alone—I'm truly impressed."

"......"

At this moment, outside the sealed base gate, the assembled psychics were murmuring in shock.

No country treats an SS-class psychic awakening as anything less than a treasure.

They're only allowed to roam the world after reaching seventh or eighth rank, once they have sufficient self-preservation capability.

No one expected that,

Da Xia's SS-class didn't follow the rules—he was still fourth-rank lower tier and dared to enter this dangerous ruin alone.

Even more surprising, this Xu Jingming not only survived, but earned a Legendary rating!

Beyond their surprise, many psychics turned their gazes toward Tianyu Daochang.

Everyone knew Sakura Nation was a vassal of the United States.

Given the U. .'s modus operandi, they might have issued orders before entering the ruin space.

To eliminate Xu Jingming on sight if discovered.

The Sakura Nation's eighth-rank Grand Master who appeared before entering the ruin was a clear omen.

Indeed, Tianyu Daochang's psychics had already begun moving, subtly forming military battle formations.

Shan Kou Yier, Tianyu Daochang's second-in-command, stared grimly at the base gate.

"That's really Xu Jingming!"

At Magu Psychic University, Xiao Nan only now recognized Xu Jingming's identity.

While marveling at Xu Jingming's superb disguise,

he sternly instructed Shen Dongling and the others, who also looked astonished:

"Teacher Li, take the students to the exit first.

The other two teachers, stay with me to support Xu Jingming."

Magu's team had only four sixth-rank psychics; the rest were either fourth-rank mid-tier or lower.

If a fight breaks out with Tianyu Daochang, these people are just dead weight.

Better to have them leave first.

"Understood."

Teacher Li, aware of the gravity, nodded solemnly and led Shen Dongling and the others away first.

"Su Chen is really Xu Jingming—no wonder his combat power is so strong!"

"By the way, is he fourth-rank lower or upper tier?"

"Forget that for now—can't you see Tianyu Daochang is about to move?"

"......"

The students of the two martial arts schools were also stunned by Xu Jingming's appearance.

Their instructors, Qin Zheng and Wang Hong, likewise gave serious orders:

"Lin Hui, Lu Heng, you leave first. The remaining sixth-rank instructors, prepare for battle."

After all, he was Da Xia's SS-class—they couldn't ignore him when they knew he might be ambushed.

Of course, their own students' safety must also be guaranteed.

"Understood!"

"Yes!"

Students including Lin Hui and Xia Lan each departed under the guidance of a sixth-rank instructor.

"Tianyu Daochang has 85 psychics, twelve of whom are sixth-rank; the rest are all above fifth-rank.

Even with our two martial arts schools and Magu's people combined, we only have eight sixth-ranks.

This fight ahead won't be easy..."

Qin Zheng scanned Tianyu Daochang's side, his expression grim.

Though over a dozen Da Xia nationals remained on-site, only four were sixth-rank or higher.

But they all came from Da Xia's psychic noble families.

Don't expect them to risk their lives for Xu Jingming.

"Whoa, looks like a major battle is unavoidable."

"Hurry up, get out—don't get caught in the crossfire!"

"Damn it, I haven't even claimed my reward yet!"

"......"

The other psychics present also sensed the tense atmosphere and began evacuating.

Even some who hadn't yet claimed their rewards could only leave in regret.

Only a few psychics confident in their own strength dared to stay nearby, waiting to watch the show...

"Honored Legendary-class psychic, given your Legendary rating and SS-class ability 'Doushen Thunder',

you may choose to receive Inheritance 003, or the Sequence Inheritance."

In the vast base hall, the tall woman with long green hair, Eva, spoke slowly.

"So I triggered two inheritance rewards?"

Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow and said boldly: "Can I take both?"

Whether they're good or not doesn't matter—get them all first!

"Regrettably, each inheritance embodies the entirety of a champion's life's work.

A single warrior may choose only one inheritance—even a Legendary rating cannot override this."

Eva shook her head softly.

"Alright then."

Xu Jingming, having anticipated this, wasn't disappointed. He continued:

"Explain the difference between the two inheritances—I need to weigh them properly."

"Of course."

Eva nodded slightly and waved her hand.

A figure cloaked in a hooded robe, face obscured, appeared:

"First, Inheritance 003 originates from the Jin Kingdom's champion 'Ezrel'.

Jin Kingdom was the nation that ruled the entire Blue Planet in my era—the so-called Ancient Civilization.

Ezrel was one of Jin Kingdom's most powerful elementalists.

He possessed an S-class Lightning ability, reached the Law Saint realm, and stood at ninth-rank peak.

This Inheritance 003 contains his cultivated SS-class Soul Refinement technique—the so-called Soul Refinement combat art.

It also includes all his Lightning combat techniques and cultivation insights.

Whoever obtains this inheritance will see Ezrel's glory reborn!"

One of the strongest elementalists!

Ninth-rank peak Law Saint!

S-class Lightning ability!

Just these three descriptors alone prove his might.

"The other inheritance—the Sequence Inheritance—comes from the First Civilization Era.

A supreme being known as 'Lei Shen'."

After a pause, Eva continued:

"First Civilization Era? Also your Jin Kingdom's civilization?" Xu Jingming asked.

He'd never heard this term before.

"No."

Eva, in her elegant form, shook her head. "You call our Jin civilization 'Ancient Civilization'.

But thousands of years before Jin, there existed another civilization era.

We refer to it as the First Civilization Era; Jin is the Second Civilization Era.

As for you—you are the Third Civilization Era, flourishing, just beginning..."
