Chapter 415: Domineering Thunder Dragon Art! Fame Soars!

~7 min read 1,272 words

After planning the follow-up arrangements with Song Qiuyun and buying the plane tickets for the next day to Rongcheng, the provincial capital of Sichuan Province, Xu Jingming called Jiang Chuxuan again.

It was also a video call, but Jiang Chuxuan was still at Mo Da, busy refining pills.

They chatted about recent events and their upcoming schedules, and by the time they hung up, it was already 10 PM.

"It's still early, I can study combat techniques for a while longer."

Xu Jingming glanced at the time, put down his phone, got up from the sofa, and entered the training room on the second floor of the villa.

He took out the Flowing Cloud Golden Edge Spear, activated his ability, and warmed up briefly to get his mind active.

He sat cross-legged on the floor and took out the combat technique manual, "Thunder Dragon Art," that Teacher Su had given him that afternoon.

"Lei Shen Jiang Shi is an SSS-grade combat technique, but its type belongs to the state-amplification category and has no real combat power.

This SS+ grade Thunder Dragon Art is currently the strongest combat technique I've come into contact with and learned."

With a faint glimmer of anticipation in his eyes, Xu Jingming opened the manual and began carefully reading through it.

'Dragon-type fierce beasts belong to the top tier of fierce beast species.

This sect's combat technique was created by blending the aura of dragon-type fierce beasts with lightning-system abilities.

Upon successful casting, it can form an Eastern dragon-shaped thunder divine dragon.

I once used this combat technique to slay a peak ninth-tier Beast Emperor when I was at the mid ninth-tier.

This combat technique requires at least an S-grade lightning-system ability to cultivate. The cultivation essentials are as follows...'

The manual begins with an extremely domineering description, every word brimming with confidence and pride in this combat technique.

"Worthy of being the founder of Lei Ting Wu Guan, his personality is truly domineering! Even his combat technique requires an S-grade lightning-system ability to cultivate!"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up slightly.

According to existing records, the founder of Lei Ting Wu Guan, Luo Heng, reached the peak of the ninth tier!

However, after entering a secret realm a hundred years ago, he suddenly vanished, and no news has been heard since.

"If Hall Master Luo Heng hadn't disappeared, he would probably be a Supreme Being by now."

After a quiet sigh of emotion, Xu Jingming quickly immersed himself in reading the combat technique manual.

As an SS+ grade combat technique, the cultivation difficulty of "Thunder Dragon Art" was terrifyingly high.

Xu Jingming studied from 10:30 PM until 8 AM the next morning, and only roughly understood one-fifth of its contents.

"At this pace, in five days I should be able to use the system to directly add points to this combat technique."

The morning sunlight shone in through the special transparent windows, casting a faint golden glow over the entire training room.

Xu Jingming stored the combat technique manual in his spatial ring, freshened up, and then left the villa.

He had arranged with Lin Hui and the others last night to meet at 8:30 AM at the Xi Ye Café on the training camp's commercial street, so arriving now was just about right.

"Jingming, over here."

He took his time heading over, grabbing a breakfast from a roadside stall along the way.

When Xu Jingming entered Xi Ye Café, Lin Hui and Xia Lan had already arrived.

Seeing Xu Jingming come in, Lin Hui quickly stood up, waved, and called out.

"You guys got here pretty early—there's still over ten minutes until 8:30."

Xu Jingming sat down beside Lin Hui and said, somewhat surprised.

"You're now in the top 5 of our training camp's combat power rankings. How would we ordinary students dare to slack off?"

Lin Hui replied with an exaggerated expression, "The moment you give an order, we have to arrive at least half an hour early.

And that's only because I'm pretty familiar with you. If it were any other student, they'd have to arrive at least an hour early!"

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Xu Jingming was amused by Lin Hui's demeanor.

"This isn't exaggeration, it's fact."

Lin Hui shook his head and clicked his tongue in wonder:

"You have no idea—after you defeated Cao Ren yesterday, our training camp's internal forum completely exploded!

Your rate of strength improvement has directly broken our training camp's historical record.

A lot of people even dug out your nickname from the National College League and started calling you 'Lei Di'."

If before this, Xu Jingming had only been somewhat famous in this Prodigy Training Camp,

then yesterday's battle thoroughly showed everyone the terror of this SS-grade ability awakener.

Many even speculated that Xu Jingming's combat power was likely even higher than that of the strongest, Wang Dong!

"That's true. Quite a few of my female friends came to me asking for your contact info."

Xia Lan beside them also chimed in with a smile.

Like Xu Jingming, she was also a first-year member of the training camp. The first-year assessment had already ended yesterday.

Therefore, she wasn't wearing battle attire, just a simple white T-shirt and denim shorts.

Even so, her snow-white long legs were undeniably eye-catching.

"But it's normal you don't know, Jingming, since you were having dinner with Teacher Ling.

If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be browsing the forum at that time either."

The envy in Lin Hui's tone was undisguised. "How nice, being able to have dinner with Teacher Ling."

"Whoa! You even know about that—don't tell me you're a stalker."

Xu Jingming put on a look of disgust and moved a bit away from Lin Hui. Even Xia Lan instinctively scooted to the side as well.

"Impossible! With an eighth-tier Grandmaster's spiritual power, it's easy to detect anyone stalking.

I just paid a little extra attention to information related to Teacher Ling.

Quite a few students saw you going to dinner with Teacher Ling."

Lin Hui hurriedly explained.

Emotionally, if Teacher Ling weren't an eighth-rank grand master, you'd really want to stalk him?

After silently muttering a complaint in his heart, Xu Jingming didn't continue the joke and got down to business:

"I called you here today for nothing else — I just want to ask if you'd like to go with me on an S-rank mission..."

Next, Xu Jingming described the details of the mission to Myanmar in full.

As for the final distribution of mission rewards, it was also very simple.

Whoever contributes the most during the entire mission will receive the most rewards.

"Let me emphasize — the mission location this time is the lawless Chaos Triangle Zone in Myanmar's ungoverned territory, and the danger level is extremely high.

You need to think it through carefully — whether you want to go with me."

At the end, Xu Jingming emphasized it once more.

"Teacher already told me about this last night. I have no issues on my end."

Xia Lan almost nodded in agreement without any hesitation at all, and Lin Hui likewise did not refuse, replying with a smile:

"Which mission in the martial hall doesn't carry danger? With a big shot like you leading the team, how could I possibly refuse?"

In fact,

the strongest teammate Lin Hui had previously teamed up with was only a sixth-rank at best.

And Xu Jingming, who had defeated Cao Ren, already possessed the ability to go toe-to-toe with seventh-rank master-class ability users like Zhou Xuan.

With such a great Buddha on his side, he naturally could not refuse.
