Chapter 363: Ling Shuang Resigns! The Hidden Benefits of the Indestructible Body!

Just as Xu Jingming's side was brimming with boundless springtime beauty.

Metropolis Institute of Esoteric Abilities, Instruction Building.

Including Ling Shuang, the three vice principals had gathered together due to Xu Jingming's early graduation application submitted that morning.

In addition, at the very front of the conference hall was a full-holographic projection of a tall man.

He was Tan Feng, the principal of Metropolis Institute of Esoteric Abilities, ranked at the peak of eighth tier.

"Xu Jingming submitted his early graduation application around 9 a. m. today.

After Eva notified me with highest authorization, I should have convened this meeting immediately.

But I was occupied on my end, so it was delayed until now."

A deep voice emanated from the man's holographic projection: "Speak up—what are your opinions on this?"

"Xu Jingming has reached fourth-tier upper rank; Metropolis Institute cannot offer him better resources.

His application for early graduation is entirely reasonable—I have no objection."

Kong Shuai, one of the three vice principals, said solemnly.

Another vice principal, Chen Can, immediately nodded: "No objection."

"I have no objection either."

Ling Shuang nodded as well, adding:

"When we recruited him, we offered Xu Jingming an S+ special admission slot.

According to the terms of the S+ special admission contract, we are required to provide him with an S-level cultivation resource each academic year.

Since he is applying for early graduation, shouldn't we also grant him the S-level cultivation resources for the remaining three academic years?"

"That is only fair."

Principal Tan Feng did not oppose: "However, compared to early graduation, I still prefer to retain Xu Jingming's enrollment at Metropolis Institute.

Let him officially graduate and receive his diploma three years from now.

After all, it's just a diploma—it won't affect him in the slightest."

The Metropolis Institute graduation diploma is considered a golden brand throughout all of Greater Xia!

Many military legions and guilds even decide whether to recruit you based solely on your diploma.

But for a genius like Xu Jingming, having or not having a diploma makes no difference whatsoever.

"Retain enrollment?" Chen Can and the others blinked in surprise, quickly understanding the principal's intent.

He wanted to maximize Metropolis Institute's influence!

The more brilliant Xu Jingming becomes in the future, the more glory Metropolis Institute will reap!

"We have no objection to this, but ultimately it depends on Xu Jingming's own wishes."

Chen Can mused.

For an ordinary student, we could simply notify him of this decision.

But Xu Jingming is no ordinary student.

After all, just last night, a ninth-tier Martial Saint traveled thousands of kilometers to kill for him.

For a genius like this, his own opinion must be taken seriously as well.

"I'll go ask Xu Jingming. Retaining his enrollment shouldn't be a problem," Ling Shuang nodded slightly.

"Good, then I entrust this matter to Vice Principal Ling."

Tan Feng smiled, "Any other matters? If not, I'll disconnect now."

"None."

Chen Can and Kong Shuai both shook their heads, but Ling Shuang spoke softly:

"Principal Tan, I have something to discuss with you."

"Oh? What is it?"

Tan Feng turned to look, and the other two vice principals also cast curious glances.

"I wish to resign from my position as vice principal of Metropolis Institute. I humbly request your approval, Principal Tan," Ling Shuang said solemnly.

"Resign?" Tan Feng blinked slightly. "Are you returning to Lei Ting Wu Guan?"

"Yes. I am grateful for the care and support you and the two other vice principals have shown me during these three years at Metropolis Institute.

But I feel Lei Ting Wu Guan suits me better."

Ling Shuang's clear voice echoed throughout the conference room.

"I always suspected you wouldn't stay long with us at Metropolis Institute, but I never expected it to come this soon.

Now we've lost not only an outstanding student, but also an outstanding principal."

Tan Feng shook his head, then continued: "Vice Principal Ling, you've performed exceptionally well during these three years at Metropolis Institute.

Especially in this final academic year—you led us to win numerous honors.

Your resignation application is approved.

Also, before you leave, go to the resource depot and select a premium SS-level resource. It's yours by right."

"Thank you, Principal Tan." Seeing Tan Feng agree, Ling Shuang quietly exhaled in relief.

"Alright, that's all for today. Meeting adjourned."

Tan Feng's holographic projection vanished. The other two vice principals smiled and said:

"Three years of working together—farewell, Vice Principal Ling! May you achieve great success and rise even higher!"

"May your martial path flourish, and may you ascend to the ninth tier!"

Compared to these two eighth-tier lower-rank vice principals,

Ling Shuang, merely in her thirties and already an eighth-tier middle-rank grand master, was undoubtedly destined for boundless horizons.

They didn't mind offering some congratulations before you leave.

"Thank you." Ling Shuang nodded politely, then turned and walked away with long, graceful strides.

He checked the time—it was only just past nine at night.

He had originally planned to call Xu Jingming and tell him about today's meeting outcomes.

But then he remembered the man had just returned from the ruins, and two lovely girlfriends were waiting for him at school.

So he put his phone down.

"At this hour, he's probably still busy. Never mind—this isn't urgent. I can call him tomorrow..."

Song Qiuyun, now upgraded to Second Stage Upper, had grown significantly stronger in physique than before.

But to Xu Jingming, whose blood qi had broken past eight thousand, it was nothing special.

Even combined with Jiang Chuxuan, the two of them exerted every ounce of strength and still couldn't exhaust Xu Jingming.

Instead, they exhausted themselves—so much so that they nearly fainted several times.

Meanwhile, Xu Jingming also realized his stamina seemed terrifyingly boundless.

Ordinary people could manage at most one or two times in a short span, but he felt as if it were endless.

Yet when he recalled the traits of dragon-class ferocious beasts, he understood.

This might be one of the hidden benefits of choosing a dragon-class ferocious beast as the foundation for Lei Ting Immortal Body...

The next day, ten in the morning.

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan were still asleep, but Xu Jingming had already trained for over two hours in the training room.

"Ding ling ling~~"

Suddenly, his phone rang. Xu Jingming, mid-practice of his spiritual ability training method, immediately opened his eyes and retracted the golden lightning coursing over his body.

He picked up the phone—it was Vice Principal Ling Shuang calling.

"Jingming, didn't I disturb you?"

The moment he answered, Ling Shuang's crisp voice rang from the other end.

"No disturbance," Xu Jingming hurriedly replied.

Yet he felt puzzled—why did it always seem like Vice Principal Ling had some hidden meaning in her words?

"Good to hear."

After a pause, Ling Shuang continued, "Your application for early graduation has been approved.

The principal wishes to temporarily retain your enrollment status, and will issue your diploma on the official graduation day, three years from now.

During this time, you are free to act as you please; Muda will impose no restrictions on you.

Additionally, the three remaining years' worth of S-class cultivation resources will be issued to you all at once.

Are you satisfied with this resolution?"
