Chapter 356

Ruin space.

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

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

Even some adepts still streaked with bloodstains stared longingly at the 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 was pitch black.

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

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

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

One middle-aged man, in particular, radiated formidable energy.

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

This man was Ju 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—but his expression remained utterly calm.

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

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

"Haha, Ju 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; a faint smile appeared on Xu Jingming's face amid the crowd.

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 at night, several oceanic flights to Great Xia still operated.

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

Qin Zheng nodded in agreement.

"Indeed."

"Let's go, let's go. Tianyu Daochang lost so many people this time—they'll definitely report it in the news."

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

"......"

The group traveled relaxedly to the port and 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 three or four hours.

No other Tianyu Daochang members had appeared; someone couldn't help asking Ju 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."

Ju Jing had also sensed something unusual.

But with over twenty hours left before the 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 Ju Jing and his group still waited desperately outside the space gate...

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

"Finally almost there..."

On the warship's deck, Xu Jingming could already see the bustling, heavily guarded Eastern Dock hundreds of meters away.

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.

Yet all these predators were slain by him, netting him roughly 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 wasn't yet strong—he needed to rest after every half hour of flying.

"Still, the Tianjiao Training Camp of Thunder Martial Hall seems to be located near a demon cave."

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

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

"This voyage will soon arrive at Eastern Dock. Please collect your belongings and prepare to disembark."

"This voyage will soon arrive at Eastern Dock..."

At this moment, an automated announcement played three times—once in Great Xia's national language, once in Sakura language—to ensure everyone understood.

To prevent confusion or misunderstanding.

"Umm~~ Umm~~"

Just one minute later, accompanied by the ship's horn, the warship officially docked at Great Xia's Eastern Port.

Passengers poured out through the lowered gangway.

"Jingming, we'll part ways here—we need to return to the Tianjiao Training Camp."

At Eastern Dock, Qin Zheng and the others said their final goodbyes:

"We look forward to seeing you at the training camp."

The Tianjiao Training Camp was still far from Mo Du; even returning would take over ten hours.

"Definitely," Xu Jingming replied with a smile.

The affairs in Mo Du would take roughly ten days to settle.

Once finished, he would contact Holy Maiden Su Qingli and head to the Tianjiao Training Camp.

"Haha, good, good!" Qin Zheng clapped Xu Jingming on the shoulder.

Having witnessed Xu Jingming's astonishing strength, he was delighted to have such a prodigy join them.

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

"Goodbye, we're off."

Lin Hui, Xia Lan, and others waved farewell.

"Training camp, see you," Xu Jingming nodded with a smile.

Though they hadn't known each other long, Lin Hui and the others left a good impression.

Once he entered the training camp, they'd likely get along very well.

"Teacher Xiao, let's head back."

After watching the Thunder Martial Hall and Bearstorm Martial Hall members depart...

Xu Jingming followed his senior brother Liu Ming and others, preparing to return to Mo Du's Adept University.

PS: I saw the Master Certification from 'Deng Ruiqi' and the 'Big Health Care' from '0.'—thank you, great masters! Three chapters tomorrow~~
