Chapter 356

Ruin Space.

A space gate, over ten meters tall and seven or eight meters wide, hung silently in midair.

Having stayed here for exactly two months, he was utterly exhausted.

Even some adepts still bearing bloodstains on their bodies gazed longingly at this space gate.

They longed to pass through it and return to the modern city for a good rest.

But after glancing at the two colossal beings, they could only wait helplessly in place...

"Eva, I'm leaving this to you," Xu Jingming said to one of the Flowing Gold Guardians.

"Chosen One, rest assured—they won't be able to leave for another twenty-three hours," the Flowing Gold Guardian replied with a simple, earnest smile.

"Then thank you, Teacher Xiao. Let's go."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly, blending into the Mo Da team, and stepped through the space gate.

Hum~~

After a brief moment of blurred consciousness, Xu Jingming crossed the space gate and returned to the real world.

It was ten o'clock at night, the sky pitch black.

Yet around the space gate, several large searchlights had been set up.

Combined with the white glow emanating from the space gate, they illuminated the entire area brightly.

Near those searchlights stood numerous adepts dressed in the Tianyu Daochang uniform armor.

One middle-aged man, in particular, radiated a formidable aura.

His eyes flashed like lightning as he scanned Xu Jingming and his group emerging from the space gate.

This man was Jue Jing—the eighth-rank Grand Master of Tianyu Daochang who had come here before the ruin space opened.

"This guy really is waiting outside."

Xu Jingming, hidden among the crowd, felt a silent shock inside but showed no outward sign.

"People from Great Xia," Jue Jing glanced once, found nothing unusual, and quickly looked away.

Xu Jingming and his group, following their original plan, swiftly departed the area...

"Hah! Jue Jing definitely didn't notice anything!"

"What can you do? He never imagined Xu Jingming not only entered the ruin space but also killed nearly all of their people!"

"I can't wait to see the look on his face when he learns the truth."

"......"

Only after traveling over ten kilometers away did everyone relax; Xu Jingming's face among the crowd faintly bore a smile.

This time, they had completely fooled Tianyu Daochang.

"We're not completely safe yet. Let's head to the port in Hokkaido," Xu Jingming smiled.

Hokkaido relies mainly on sea routes; even at ten o'clock at night, several oceanic flights to Great Xia still operate.

"Jingming is right. Only when we reach Great Xia will we truly be safe."

Qin Zheng also nodded.

"Indeed."

"Let's go, let's go. Tianyu Daochang lost so many people this time—news outlets will definitely report it."

"Hehe, I'm going to pay extra attention to the news from now on."

"......"

The group traveled relaxedly to the port, then boarded the earliest flight to Great Xia.

"Director, why haven't the Holy Maiden and the others emerged yet?"

Near the space gate, they had waited for three or four hours.

No other Tianyu Daochang members had appeared, and one member couldn't help but ask Jue Jing.

"Not just the Holy Maiden—even teams from other countries haven't come out. This seems strange."

Another adept chimed in.

"Don't worry. The Holy Maiden and others may have found other opportunities."

Jue Jing had also sensed something unusual.

But with over twenty hours left until the space gate closed, he wasn't overly concerned.

After all, over a hundred entered this time, including sixteen sixth-rank adepts.

Could they all have died inside the ruin space?

While Jue Jing and his group were still desperately waiting outside the space gate.

On the other side, Xu Jingming and his team aboard the warship were nearly reaching Great Xia.

"Finally almost there..."

On the warship's deck, Xu Jingming could see the Eastern Pier hundreds of meters away—crowded with people, heavily guarded.

Compared to previous voyages, this flight faced far more marine predator attacks.

Midway, they even encountered an extremely rare school of dozens of fourth-rank Flying Sea Swordfish.

But all these predators were slain by him, ultimately earning him over seven thousand adept points.

"Marine predators are indeed numerous. Now that I have flight ability, I might try hunting them on the sea surface later."

Xu Jingming thought silently.

But his flight ability isn't yet particularly strong—he must rest after every half hour of flying.

"Still, the Tianlei Wu Guan's prodigy training camp seems to be located beside a demon cave."

Then I can easily kill predators without having to specifically seek out marine ones."

Compared to the ocean, the land undoubtedly felt far less dangerous to Xu Jingming.

"This voyage is about to arrive at the Eastern Dock. All passengers, please hold on to your luggage and prepare to disembark."

"This voyage is about to arrive at the Eastern Dock..."

At that moment, the broadcast sounded, playing the announcement three times in both the Great Xia language and the Sakura Country language.

In case some people didn't understand, or couldn't quite make it out.

"Mm~~ mm~~"

Just one minute later, accompanied by the sound of a steam whistle, the warship officially arrived at the Great Xia Eastern Port.

The passengers on board streamed out one after another through the gangway the warship had lowered.

"Jingming, let's part ways here. We're heading back to the Prodigy Training Camp."

At the Eastern Dock, Qin Zheng and the others who had disembarked were also making their final farewells:

"When the time comes, I'll be looking forward to seeing you at the training camp."

The Prodigy Training Camp was still very far from Magic Capital; even heading back, they would need over ten more hours.

"Definitely." Xu Jingming replied with a smile.

The miscellaneous matters here in Magic Capital would take roughly ten-plus days to handle.

Once everything was settled, he would contact Director Su Qingli and head over to the Prodigy Training Camp.

"Haha, that's great, that's great!" Qin Zheng patted Xu Jingming on the shoulder.

Having already witnessed Xu Jingming's astonishing strength, he was naturally very glad to have such a prodigy joining them.

"Xu Jingming, see you at the training camp!"

"Goodbye, we'll be heading off first."

Lin Hui, Xia Lan, and the others also waved their farewells.

"See you at the training camp." Xu Jingming nodded with a smile.

Although they hadn't interacted for long, the impression Lin Hui and the others gave him was quite decent.

Once he entered the training camp later, they should get along very well.

"Teacher Xiao, let's head back."

After watching the people from Lei Ting Wu Guan and Furious Bear Wu Guan leave.

Xu Jingming then followed Senior Brother Liu Ming and the others away, preparing to return to Magic Capital Ability University.
