Chapter 387: Yuan Ling Guo! SS-Class Heavenly Treasure!

The Blue Star has a great variety of heavenly treasures, and some of them emit no sign at all even when they ripen.

Others, when they ripen, trigger disturbances as grand as celestial phenomena.

What Xu Jingming now encounters falls into the latter category.

And such heavenly treasures are almost always rated S-class or higher!

"Judging from the direction of the yuan energy convergence, it shouldn't be far—let's go take a look."

With a flick of his right hand, Yao Lei Zhang was stored inside his space ring.

Xu Jingming's entire body was wreathed in lightning, transforming into a golden phantom as he surged toward it at high speed.

With the Deep Blue System at his side, heavenly treasures weren't especially important to him.

But with heavenly treasures, no one ever has too many—finding more is always better...

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the one who wiped out three city ruins in a row is only a fifth-rank adept."

On the other side,

a group from the 12th Squad of the Black Dragon Legion couldn't help but discuss Xu Jingming after witnessing him.

The speaker was the tall, thin young man who had earlier insisted Xu Jingming was a sixth-rank adept.

"Who says otherwise?"

The squad leader shrugged helplessly:

"Each of those three city ruins housed more than one sixth-rank ferocious beast, yet Xu Jingming wiped them all out alone.

His true combat power is definitely above mid-tier sixth-rank!"

"A low-tier fifth-rank adept achieving combat power on par with mid-tier sixth-rank.

And this Xu Jingming looks so young—no one knows where the Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy dug up such a powerhouse."

The tall, thin young man sighed.

The Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy's Elite Training Camp is renowned throughout Greater Xia.

The elimination rate for its entrance exam reaches 90%!

Everyone who enters is an elite adept, one in ten thousand!

Even so, killing a low-tier sixth-rank ferocious beast as a high-tier fifth-rank adept counts as formidable combat power.

After all, under equal ranks, ferocious beasts are vastly superior in every aspect!

Yet now, here appears a powerhouse who crosses an entire rank to slay sixth-rank ferocious beasts.

Something they had never heard of before.

"Xu Jingming... I think I've heard that name before, but I can't remember where."

One of the squad members frowned in confusion.

Due to the National University League, Xu Jingming had indeed gained some fame.

But for these sixth-rank adepts who long guarded the front-line battlefields, it was unfamiliar territory.

"Such prodigies are likely already well-known—you probably heard the name somewhere, that's normal."

Squad Leader Wu Shuo didn't take it seriously, smiling as he said:

"Looks like the Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy's entrance exam will be worth watching—I plan to go. You coming?"

"If the squad leader's going, how can we not?"

"Count me in—I'm going too!"

Among the students of the Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy's Elite Training Camp, there are no shortage of sixth-rank adepts.

Such matches are highly instructive for people like them.

So when the squad leader said he was going, the other squad members quickly chimed in agreement.

"Pop—"

Just as they were discussing heading over together, a crisp sound suddenly rang out.

Immediately, dense yuan energy began converging in the sky ahead.

"Huh? This looks like the disturbance of a heavenly treasure emerging!"

Squad Leader Wu Shuo's eyes lit up, "Let's go take a look!"

With a wave of his hand, he hurriedly led his squad racing toward that direction.

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

The wind howled past his ears as Xu Jingming sprinted through the forest like a sleek leopard.

Golden lightning flickered with each step—he covered at least ten meters per stride!

After only running through the forest for over ten minutes, his vision suddenly opened up, revealing a clearing before him.

"The source of the yuan energy agitation is right here."

He stopped and looked up ahead.

Immediately, a tree over seven meters tall, lush with foliage and emerald-green leaves, came into view.

Among the dense leaves hung six fruits, each about the size of a papaya, entirely orange-red.

At this moment,

yuan energy from heaven and earth flowed continuously into them, making the fruits' color grow ever more vivid and plump.

"This is... Yuan Ling Guo?!" Xu Jingming recognized the fruits.

Yuan Ling Guo is an SS-class heavenly treasure.

Swallowed directly, it enables an adept to accelerate yuan energy absorption for a long time without side effects, shortening the time needed to advance in rank!

This effect is extremely potent—it benefits not only low-rank adepts, but also seventh-rank Masters and eighth-rank Grand Masters alike.

There was even an eighth-grade Yuan Energy Pill refined with the Yuan Spirit Fruit as its primary ingredient, an SS-grade cultivation resource!

After consuming it, the speed of absorbing Yuan Energy would be further accelerated!

Xu Jingming had previously only seen the Yuan Spirit Fruit in the Demon University's illustrated guide to heavenly materials and earthly treasures; he never expected to encounter it here by chance.

"This is our Dragon Spear Guild's territory. This area has already been sealed off. Friend, you'd better take a detour."

Just as Xu Jingming was thrilled at discovering an SS-grade heavenly material, a low voice rang out from the side.

Immediately after, a five-person squad walked out from the jungle opposite.

These five people wore uniform-style combat suits, clearly belonging to the same faction.

The one who spoke was a bald, middle-aged man at the head, carrying a battle blade.

Judging from the faint aura emanating from him, his level was at least Sixth-Rank Lower!

And the other four following behind had auras faintly around the peak of Fifth-Rank.

"Your territory?"

Xu Jingming swept his gaze and said in a deep voice, "The territory of the various guilds and legions within this No. 4 Demon Cave was divided long ago.

How come I've never heard that this area belongs to your Dragon Spear Guild?"

He had heard the name Dragon Spear Guild before.

The guild's president was merely an Eighth-Rank Master Zongshi—not qualified to possess a territory of his own within this No. 4 Demon Cave.

The reason the other party said so was most likely just to hog these six Yuan Spirit Fruits for themselves.

Are you really not understanding, or just pretending not to understand?

Our captain says this is our territory, so it's ours! A mere Fifth-Rank like you, and you dare to question it?"

Before the bald middle-aged man could speak, a short-haired man in the squad jeered.

The remaining squad members all wore the look of spectators enjoying a show.

They had indeed been drawn over by the commotion of the heavenly material's emergence and had only just arrived nearby.

But that didn't stop them from seizing these Yuan Spirit Fruits.

After all, the other party was only a Fifth-Rank Lower ability user.

Any single one of them pulled out from their side would be enough to hang him up and beat him!

Merely shouting to drive him off was already considered generous.
