Chapter 410: SS-Rank Top-Tier Combat Technique! Thunder Dragon Art!

After the match between Xu Jingming and Cao Ren concluded, the assessment battles continued.

This time it was a duel between two fourth-rank ability users; the audience, who had just watched a great battle,

naturally couldn't muster much interest, but still gave face and didn't leave their seats.

Only after the match ended and Liu Wei announced the conclusion of the first day's competition did the many spectators, chatting among themselves, rise and depart one after another.

It could be foreseen that Xu Jingming's stunning performance today would become gossip fodder for them to discuss for quite some time.

"Jingming, let's go, let's eat together."

From the student 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 overwhelming; for ordinary students like them, it was hard not to be impressed!

In fact, besides Lin Hui, Xia Lan and the others also looked at Xu Jingming with eyes full of reverence.

"Xu Jingming, come over here."

At that moment, Su Qingli's clear, crisp voice rang out beside his ear.

"You guys go ahead, Su Laoshi is looking for me."

After saying a word to Lin Hui and the others, Xu Jingming immediately headed toward the inner arena's spectator stands.

"I really didn't expect it to be just as you said, Xiaolan—Xu Jingming swept through every single first-year student!"

After Xu Jingming left, Zhou Xiaoman couldn't help clicking her tongue in wonder as she spoke.

"Not just the first-years—nowadays, in the entire Prodigy Training Camp,

out of more than three hundred students total, the number whose strength surpasses his probably couldn't be counted on one hand!"

Xia Lan said with a sigh of admiration.

Her beautiful eyes, like sapphires, held a deep sense of emotion.

Who could have imagined that Xu Jingming, having only been in the Prodigy Training Camp for just over a month, already showed signs of commanding the entire camp?

In her view, even Wang Dong, currently the strongest in the camp, probably wouldn't be long before being surpassed......

Xu Jingming quickly arrived at Su Laoshi Qingli's side.

At the same time, he also got a close look at the other two vice hall masters of Lei Ting Wu Guan.

First was Hu Jinyu—when they were far away earlier, he hadn't noticed.

Now, having just approached, he could faintly sense a terrifying wave of heat radiating from him.

As if, were it to spread freely, it would scorch the entire earth dry—an awe-inspiring aura.

Compared with Hu Jinyu, the other vice hall master, Master Gu Ming, looked far more affable.

He even gave off a faint sense of decline.

These were signs of advanced age and gradually waning strength.

"Su Laoshi, Vice Hall Master Hu, Vice Hall Master Gu."

Although he wasn't in the same faction as Vice Hall Master Hu Jinyu, when greeting Su Qingli, Xu Jingming still called out to them as well.

"Truly worthy of being Hall Su Laoshi's prized student—remarkable. I hope you keep up the effort and strive to reach sixth rank soon."

Vice Hall Master Hu Jinyu said with a smile; Master Gu Ming also stroked his beard with his right hand and nodded in satisfaction.

"You performed quite well in this assessment battle.

Come, let's go back to my place and discuss it in detail. Hearing Ling Shuang, you're coming with us."

Su Qingli said softly.

Hearing Ling Shuang also rose from beside Li Hao with visible relief, came to Su Qingli's side, opened a spatial gate, and took the two of them away directly.

"Spatial-system abilities are truly convenient."

Vice Hall Master Hu Jinyu quietly watched the three of them leave together, his expression one of admiration.

And after the other martial hall instructors nearby had departed, Li Hao also walked over from the side.

"It seems our dear Young Master Li has once again come away empty-handed, just like before."

Hu Jinyu picked up the tea that had been specially prepared for them at the seat, took a light sip, and said unhurriedly:

"A proud woman like Hearing Ling Shuang is never going to take a liking to you. If you ask me, you'd better give up sooner rather than later."

"That's none of your concern."

Li Hao's handsome face darkened as he said in a low voice:

"My father wants me to ask you—how much longer before you can fully take control of Lei Ting Wu Guan? He's already getting rather impatient."

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

Vice Hall Master Hu Jinyu frowned. "Besides, you saw it too—she's taken Xu Jingming as her disciple.

Given the talent Xu Jingming has shown so far, the entire Prodigy Training Camp will likely be influenced by him in the future.

When that time comes, Su Qingli's influence will only grow further, making it even harder to sideline her."

"How to deal with Su Qingli is your business.

But don't forget—these past years, our Li family has given you plenty of resources.

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

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

Naturally, this left Vice Hall Master Hu Jinyu feeling somewhat displeased.

But upon thinking of that colossal entity that was the Li family, even he, a mid ninth-rank Law Saint, could only nod in agreement:

"What a bother. Go back and tell your father I'll try to speed things up on my end......"

Through Hearing Ling Shuang's spatial-system ability, Xu Jingming returned to Su Qingli's villa.

The moment he sat down on the sofa, Su Qingli asked about the combat technique from earlier.

Xu Jingming didn't hide it either, saying directly that it was an inheritance obtained from the ruins of Civilization No. 9.

He only concealed Lei Shen's identity as a supreme powerhouse.

"Since it's an inheritance from an ancient civilization, you must take care to preserve the original manuals."

Su Qingli nodded slightly.

Speaking of which, an SSS-rank lightning-system combat technique was also very useful for someone like her, a ninth-tier Spell Saint.

But inheritances from ancient civilization powerhouses often came with many restrictions, making them impossible to share.

So she didn't even bring the matter up.

And this couldn't help but make Xu Jingming secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Although during his time in the ruins of Civilization No. 9, Eva had never explicitly said the manuals couldn't be shown to others.

But after all, this was the only inheritance; letting others read it without permission didn't seem quite right.

'Later, when I go to Trial Base No. 3 and meet Eva's main control intelligence, I'll confirm whether these inheritances can be given to others.'

Xu Jingming said silently in his heart.

SSS-rank combat techniques and SSS-rank Spirit Refining arts were indeed precious.

But if it were for people who had helped him like Su Laoshi and Teacher Ling, he wouldn't mind.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to have learned Heart Net and those other three spell-type combat techniques all at once.

Since that's the case, it's time to move on to the next stage of learning."

As she spoke, a faint light flashed on Su Qingli's spatial ring, and a combat technique manual appeared on her fair palm:

"Last time, what I recommended to you were low-tier spell-type combat techniques, which win through fast casting speed and the ability to be released multiple times.

This time, what I want you to learn is a spell-type combat technique with tremendous power, but one whose casting speed is slightly longer.

This combat technique was created by my lord Luo Heng, the founder of Lei Ting Wu Guan, and is called Thunder Dragon Art, a top-tier SS-rank combat technique."

As she spoke, Su Qingli opened the manual.

Instantly, the entire living room lit up, and an Eastern dragon constructed of pale blue lightning appeared on the manual's first page.

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