Chapter 378: Unprecedented Talent! Su Qingli Is Shocked!

In the training room, Su Qingli gazed at Xu Jingming, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

Beneath the tight combat suit, her well-endowed chest rose and fell with her excited emotions.

Keep in mind that

The SS-grade mental cultivation technique, Shenhe Contemplation Method, was discovered by Luo Heng, the founder of Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym, from an ancient ruin.

Its cultivation difficulty is extremely high!

When Su Qingli advanced to the fifth rank and her mental power broke through the six-thousand threshold, she received this technique from her father.

Even with her father's guidance, it took her nearly half a year to master it!

And from the moment she gave the manual to Xu Jingming yesterday until now, barely twenty-six hours have passed.

And you're telling me you've already learned it?!

Who could have imagined this?

She did not doubt Xu Jingming was lying, because there was no point to it.

"Show me your mental power," Su Qingli said slowly after taking a deep breath.

Although she believed Xu Jingming was unlikely to be lying, she needed to confirm it herself.

"Alright."

Xu Jingming nodded, and immediately a vast torrent of mental power surged forth, engulfing his body.

Feeling the mental power far stronger than yesterday's, and the faint transcendent aura inherent to the Shenhe Contemplation Method,

Su Qingli finally confirmed that Xu Jingming had truly mastered this SS-grade mental cultivation technique!

"Good, very good! Xu Jingming, your talent is far higher than I imagined!"

At this point, Su Qingli's pale, delicate face had flushed crimson with excitement.

Twenty-six hours—mastering an SS-grade mental cultivation technique without any guidance.

This cannot be described merely as talent.

This is an unprecedented, unheard-of supreme prodigy!

At this moment, Su Qingli was immensely grateful she had personally traveled to the National University League event.

Otherwise, missing such a prodigy would hurt more than killing her!

"Perhaps this mental cultivation technique suits me better—I just tried practicing it."

"I didn't expect to master it in one go."

Xu Jingming said with a faint smile.

Mastering an SS-grade mental cultivation technique in twenty-six hours was indeed too extraordinary.

But not seeing it doesn't mean it doesn't exist!

Revealing this supreme talent to Su Qingli would benefit his future development.

Of course,

if any other psychic heard these words, they would surely be stunned.

Just casually learning an SS-grade combat technique—how the hell are others supposed to live?

Even Su Qingli, a ninth-rank Law Saint, couldn't help murmuring:

"Do you know how much you look like you deserve a beating?"

She still remembered clearly how long it took her to begin practicing the Shenhe Contemplation Method.

Until she finally completed it, it took her a full 174 days!

She still remembered the joy she felt upon mastering this mental cultivation technique.

Yet Xu Jingming mastered it in just over a day—exactly one one-hundred-seventy-fourth of her time.

This immense disparity made even the exalted Su Qingli feel her emotions strangely complex...

"Since you've already mastered the Shenhe Contemplation Method, there's no problem with you going to Dungeon #4."

After a moment's thought, Su Qingli continued, "When will you leave, and when will you return?"

The Prodigy Training Camp always encourages students to hunt ferocious beasts and hone their combat skills.

As the gym's director, Su Qingli was no exception—she even greatly admired Xu Jingming's diligent cultivation.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. I may stay inside the dungeon for one or two months before returning," Xu Jingming replied.

For Xu Jingming, the most important thing about the Prodigy Training Camp was this SS-grade mental cultivation technique.

Now that he had obtained the manual, it was time to resume his killings.

Besides, fighting ferocious beasts would let him quickly adapt to the combat style of an Elementalist.

"You're going in alone and staying that long?" Su Qingli was surprised.

Entering a perilous dungeon alone, with no teammates to keep watch.

Every night requires constant mental tension—fine for one or two weeks, no major issue.

But continuing like that for one or two months straight—even a fifth-rank psychic might not endure it.

"It's fine, I'm already used to it," Xu Jingming replied with a smile.

Recalling the data she had previously reviewed, Su Qingli nodded.

Indeed,

since Ma Da, Xu Jingming had always fought alone.

Even when entering Dungeon #9, he went alone.

"By the way, do you still have Professor Ling's space token?"

"Yes, the one Professor Ling gave me last time hasn't been used yet."

"Then that's good."

Su Qingli gave a slight nod and continued:

"On July 28th, one month from now, there will be an assessment match for the students of the Prodigy Training Camp.

All members of the training camp need to take part. Officially, you are currently a first-year student.

Once you finish this match, you will automatically advance to second year.

See whether you want to take part. If you don't, I'll remove your slot first.

After the assessment match ends, I'll add you back to the first-year student list.

That way, it won't disturb your training inside the Demon Cave.

Besides, you'll also get to stay one more year in the Prodigy Training Camp."

Once the one-month assessment match ends,

this batch of current fifth-year students will graduate from the training camp and be assigned to various posts at Lei Ting Wu Guan.

The remaining students will all move up a grade in order.

"No need, don't remove the slot.

I'll come back to take the assessment when the time comes. The Demon Cave isn't that far from headquarters anyway."

Xu Jingming shook his head.

Eat from others and your mouth grows short; take from others and your hand grows short.

Su Qingli's main purpose in letting him enter the Prodigy Training Camp was to expand his influence within the camp, thereby keeping the Vice Hall Master in check.

If he didn't even take part in the assessment match and only knew how to grind away at closed-door cultivation, how could he expand his influence?

So the match still had to be taken.

As for staying an extra year in the training camp, it was of no use to him.

He had never felt that he could stay in this Prodigy Training Camp for the full five years.

"Then just come back from the Demon Cave a day or two early when the time comes."

Su Qingli nodded. Then, as the spatial ring on her hand glimmered faintly, a combat technique manual appeared on her fair, tender palm:

"This is an SS-rank perception-type combat technique I created myself, 'Heart Net'. I had originally planned to give it to you later.

Since you've already successfully entered the threshold of the Shenhe Visualization Method, it's time I gave it to you now."

"An SS-rank perception-type combat technique?!" Xu Jingming's eyes immediately lit up.

The so-called perception-type combat techniques can not only precisely sense the opponent's aura,

but also grant an ability akin to X-ray vision.

Compared with ordinary combat technique types, perception-type combat techniques are far rarer.

He hadn't expected Su Qingli to have actually created one herself, and rated as high as SS-rank!

"'Heart Net' is actually a special way of using spiritual force.

It can give us sharper reaction speed when fighting ability-users who follow the martial artist path.

If you have time in the Demon Cave, you can take it out and look through it. Note down any questions, and after you come back..."

Su Qingli had originally meant to say to come find her for answers after returning, but thinking of Xu Jingming's monstrous comprehension, she immediately changed her words:

"If you can learn it on your own while in the Demon Cave, that's fine too."

"Thank you, teacher." Xu Jingming smiled and accepted the combat technique manual.

After chatting for a little while longer, he took his leave.

However, he didn't return to the villa, but went to the training building instead.

He wanted, before leaving, to experience what this gravity chamber actually felt like...
