Chapter 378

In the training room, Su Qingli's beautiful eyes fixed on Xu Jingming, filled with disbelief.

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

Keep in mind,

The SS-grade Spirit Refinement technique, "The Divine River Contemplation," was discovered by Lei Ting's founder, Luo Heng, from an ancient ruin.

Its cultivation difficulty is extremely high!

When Su Qingli advanced to the fifth stage and her spiritual force broke through six thousand, she received this technique from her father.

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

From the moment she gave the scripture 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 spiritual force," Su Qingli said slowly after taking a deep breath.

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

"Alright."

Xu Jingming nodded, and immediately a vast surge of spiritual force erupted around him.

Feeling the spiritual force, stronger than yesterday's, and the faint transcendent aura emanating from the "Divine River Contemplation,"

Su Qingli finally confirmed: Xu Jingming had truly mastered this SS-grade Spirit Refinement 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 bright red with excitement.

Twenty-six hours—learning an SS-grade Spirit Refinement technique without any guidance.

This could no longer be described merely as talent.

This was an unprecedented, unheard-of supreme prodigy!

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

Otherwise, letting such a prodigy slip away would hurt more than killing her!

"Maybe this Spirit Refinement technique just suits me—I only tried cultivating it."

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

Xu Jingming smiled lightly.

Mastering an SS-grade Spirit Refinement 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 this, they'd be stunned speechless.

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

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

"Do you know how much you're asking to be punched right now?"

She still remembered clearly how long it took her to begin cultivating the "Divine River Contemplation."

To finally complete it, she spent a full 174 days!

She still remembered the joy she felt upon mastering this Spirit Refinement technique.

Yet Xu Jingming mastered it in just over a day—174 times faster than her.

This enormous disparity made even the exalted Su Qingli feel a complex mix of emotions...

"Since you've already mastered the Divine River Contemplation, going to Cave Four is no problem."

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

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

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

"I'll leave tomorrow. I may stay inside the cave 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 Spirit Refinement technique.

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

Additionally, fighting ferocious beasts would help him quickly adapt to the combat style of Elementalists.

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

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

Maintaining constant spiritual tension for one or two weeks is manageable, no major issue.

But continuing for one or two months straight—even a fifth-stage 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 the No. 9 Civilization Ruin, he went alone.

"By the way, do you still have Professor Ling's Spatial Token?"

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

"Good."

Su Qingli nodded slightly and continued:

"On July 28th, one month from now, there will be a Kaohe competition for all Prodigy Training Camp students."

All members must participate. You're currently registered as a first-year student.

After completing this competition, you'll automatically advance to second year.

Whether you want to join or not, I'll remove your name for now.

After the competition ends, I'll re-add you to the first-year roster.

That way, it won't interfere with your training inside the cave.

Also, you can stay in the Prodigy Training Camp for an extra year."

After the one-month competition ends,

the current fifth-year students will graduate and be assigned to various posts within the Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym.

The remaining students will all advance one grade.

"No need to remove my name."

"I'll return to participate in the competition. The cave isn't far from headquarters," Xu Jingming shook his head.

Xu Jingming shook his head.

You can't eat someone's food and refuse their request.

Su Qingli let him join the Prodigy Training Camp mainly to expand his influence and suppress the deputy director.

If he refused to join the competition and only trained in isolation, how could he expand his influence?

So he must participate.

As for staying an extra year in the training camp, it meant nothing to him.

He never believed he'd remain in the Prodigy Training Camp for five full years.

"Then just return one or two days early from the cave."

Su Qingli nodded, and a faint glow from her space ring appeared—on her pale palm lay a combat technique scripture:

"This is my self-created SS-grade Perception Combat Technique, 'Heart Net.' I originally planned to give it to you later."

"Since you've successfully entered the Divine River Contemplation, it's time to give it to you now."

"SS-grade Perception Combat Technique?!" Xu Jingming's eyes instantly lit up.

Perception combat techniques not only precisely sense an opponent's aura,

but also grant abilities similar to X-ray vision.

Compared to ordinary combat techniques, perception techniques are far rarer.

She had actually created one herself—and it was rated SS-grade!

"'Heart Net' is essentially a special application of spiritual force."

"It allows us to react more swiftly when fighting against martial path psychics."

"If you have time in the cave, take a look. Note any questions, and when you return..."

Su Qingli was about to say "come find me for answers," but remembering Xu Jingming's insane comprehension, she changed her mind:

"If you can master it yourself while in the cave, that's fine too."

"Thank you, Teacher," Xu Jingming smiled and took the combat technique scripture.

After a brief further conversation, he took his leave.

But he didn't return to the villa—he went to the Practical Training Building.

He wanted to experience the gravity chamber's effect before leaving.
