Chapter 410

After Xu Jingming's match with Cao Ren ended, the evaluation matches continued.

This time, it was a battle between two fourth-rank psychics; the audience, having just witnessed a major fight,

naturally lacked much interest, yet still showed due respect by not leaving.

Only after the match concluded and Liu Wei announced the end of the first day's competitions did the spectators begin murmuring and rising to leave.

It was predictable that Xu Jingming's astonishing performance today would become their topic of conversation for a long time.

"Jingming, let's go eat together."

From the trainee area, Lin Hui called out with a smile.

His tone carried a hint of admiration.

There was no helping it—Xu Jingming's strength was simply too formidable; it was hard for these ordinary trainees not to admire him!

In fact, besides Lin Hui, Xia Lan and the others also looked at Xu Jingming with deep respect.

"Xu Jingming, come see me."

At that moment, Su Qingli's clear voice sounded in his ear.

"You guys go ahead—I'm needed by Teacher Su."

After telling Lin Hui and the others, Xu Jingming immediately walked toward the inner arena seating area.

"I never expected it to be exactly as you said, Xiao Lan—Xu Jingming swept through every first-year trainee!"

After Xu Jingming left, Zhou Xiaoman couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Not just the first-years—now the entire Elite Training Camp.

Of over three hundred trainees, those stronger than him probably number less than five fingers."

Xia Lan remarked with admiration.

Her beautiful, sapphire-like eyes held profound wonder.

Who could have imagined that Xu Jingming, having entered the Elite Training Camp barely over a month ago, already seemed poised to dominate the entire camp?

Even in her view, the current strongest trainee, Wang Dong, would likely be surpassed soon...

Xu Jingming soon arrived at Teacher Su Qingli's side.

He also got a close look at the other two vice-directors of Thunder Martial Arts Hall.

First was Hu Jinyu—back at a distance, he hadn't seemed remarkable.

Now that he was close, he could faintly sense a terrifying wave of heat radiating from him.

As if unleashed, it could dry up the entire earth; his aura was terrifying.

Compared to Hu Jinyu, the other vice-director, Gu Ming, appeared far more gentle.

Even faintly, there was a sense of decay.

It was the sign of advanced age and declining power.

"Teacher Su, Vice-Director Hu, Vice-Director Gu."

Though not aligned with Vice-Director Hu Jinyu, Xu Jingming still greeted them when addressing Su Qingli.

"No wonder you're Teacher Su's favorite student—you're truly impressive. Keep pushing yourself, and aim to reach sixth-rank soon."

Vice-Director Hu Jinyu smiled, while Gu Ming stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

"Your performance in this evaluation was excellent.

Come with me—I'll explain further at my place. Ling Shuang, join us."

Su Qingli said softly.

Ling Shuang rose from beside Li Hao with visible relief and walked over to Su Qingli. She opened a space gate and immediately transported both of them away.

"Space-type psychic ability—truly convenient."

Vice-Director Hu Jinyu watched silently as Su Qingli and the two others vanished. His expression was one of admiration.

After the other martial arts hall instructors nearby left, Li Hao stepped forward.

"Looks like our Young Master Li came away empty-handed again, just like before."

Hu Jinyu picked up the tea specially prepared for them, took a slow sip, and said calmly:

"A proud woman like Ling Shuang would never look at you. I'd advise you to give up now."

"That's none of your concern."

Li Hao's handsome face darkened, and he muttered lowly:

"My father asked me to ask you—how much longer until you fully control Thunder Martial Arts Hall? He's growing impatient."

"Do you really think Su Qingli is that easy to deal with?"

Vice-Director Hu Jinyu frowned. "Besides, you saw it yourself—she took Xu Jingming as her disciple.

With the talent Xu Jingming has shown so far, the entire Elite Training Camp will eventually be shaped by him.

When that happens, Su Qingli's influence will grow even stronger, making it even harder to sideline her."

"How you handle Su Qingli is your business.

But don't forget—these past years, our Li family has provided you with abundant resources.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have reached ninth-rank mid-tier so quickly."

Li Hao's tone carried a hint of warning and coercion.

Naturally, this stirred dissatisfaction in Vice-Director Hu Jinyu.

But remembering the colossal power of the Li family, even a ninth-rank mid-tier Law Saint like him could only nod in agreement:

"What a nuisance. Tell your father I'll do my best to speed things up..."

Through Ling Shuang's space-type psychic ability, Xu Jingming returned to Su Qingli's villa.

No sooner had he sat on the sofa than Su Qingli asked about the combat technique he had just used.

Xu Jingming didn't hide it—he said he had received the inheritance from Civilization Site No. 9.

He concealed Lei Shen's status as an Ultimate.

"Since it's an ancient civilization inheritance, you must guard the original scripture carefully."

Su Qingli nodded slightly.

In truth, an SSS-rank lightning combat technique was also useful to her, a ninth-rank Law Saint.

But inheritances from ancient civilization masters often carried strict restrictions and couldn't be leaked.

So she didn't mention it at all.

This naturally eased Xu Jingming's hidden tension.

Although when he was in Civilization Site No. 9, Eva never explicitly said the scripture couldn't be shown to others,

it was still the sole inheritance—letting someone else read it without permission didn't feel right.

'When I go to Test Site No. 3 later, I'll confirm with Eva's main AI whether these inheritances can be shared.'

Xu Jingming thought silently.

SSS-rank combat techniques and SSS-rank Soul-Refining Arts were indeed precious.

But if it was for teachers like Su Qingli and Ling Shuang—who had helped him—he wouldn't mind sharing.

"By the way, I didn't expect you to master both the Mind Net and the other three spell-type combat techniques all at once.

Now that you have, it's time to move on to the next stage of training."

As she spoke, Su Qingli's space ring glowed faintly, and a combat technique scripture appeared in her pale hand:

"Last time, I recommended a low-rank spell-type combat technique—one that wins through rapid casting and multiple releases.

This time, I want you to learn a spell-type combat technique with immense power, though its casting time is slightly longer.

This technique was created by the founder of Thunder Martial Arts Hall, Master Luo Heng, and is called the 'Lei Long Art'—a top-tier SS-rank combat technique."

As she spoke, Su Qingli opened the scripture.

Instantly, the entire living room brightened—a dragon woven from pale blue lightning appeared on the first page.

Like a true dragon, lifelike and vivid, leaping off the page...
