Chapter 46: Perfect Compatibility! Qi-Blood Surges Once Again!

"Perfect! Absolutely perfect!"

Facing this scene, Yang Zhentian standing in front of Xu Jingming had an excited expression. "98%! Jingming's essence blood absorption rate actually reached 98%!"

"98%?! That's high!"

Liu Ming, standing at the training room door, couldn't help his heart skip a beat at those words.

The foundation shaping of the Lei Ting Immortal Body required absorbing the essence blood of a thunder-type fierce beast.

But after all, it was fierce beast essence blood. Even though the entire process was assisted by the teacher's Wind-Fire True Thunder, the absorption efficiency still couldn't reach 100%.

Generally speaking, reaching 90% was already a very good absorption rate!

And as far as he knew, among the more than twenty disciples who had cultivated the Lei Ting Immortal Body under the teacher,

the highest absorption efficiency was only 92%. His own absorption efficiency back then hadn't even reached 90%—merely 87%.

Now, Xu Jingming had broken the record with a 98% essence blood absorption efficiency, which showed that this fierce beast essence blood was extremely compatible with him!

What others were thinking, Xu Jingming wasn't clear about. But the moment the foundation shaping of the Lei Ting Immortal Body succeeded,

he felt an endless surge of bloodthirst and violent, negative emotions erupting from the depths of his heart.

An impulse to destroy everything around him arose.

And right at that moment, Yang Zhentian's deep voice exploded beside his ear:

"Jingming, wake up!"

This voice, vast and righteous like spring thunder, instantly scattered all the negative emotions in Xu Jingming's heart.

"Teacher... what happened to me just now?"

Xu Jingming's eyes gradually regained clarity, his expression bewildered.

This kind of emotional loss of control had never happened before he began cultivating the Lei Ting Immortal Body.

"Just now, it should have been the essence blood of the Thunderstorm Tyrannosaurus affecting your mind."

Yang Zhentian's brow furrowed slightly. "The Thunderstorm Tyrannosaurus is notoriously violent even among fierce beast clans.

You absorbed its essence blood, and reached an astonishing 98% absorption efficiency.

It may be precisely because the compatibility was too high that such a side effect appeared."

Before this, disciples who cultivated the Lei Ting Immortal Body would be affected by fierce beast bloodlines to some degree.

But never had any of them shown changes as obvious as Xu Jingming's.

"However, you don't need to worry too much. As long as your emotions don't fluctuate violently, these negative emotions won't be triggered.

Additionally, as your strength improves, these side effects will gradually disappear."

Yang Zhentian added.

These had all been verified on his own person, as well as on those other disciples.

"That's good then." Only now did Xu Jingming let out a breath of relief.

He didn't want to be the kind of person who was controlled by emotions every moment of the day.

Moreover, he could feel that his physique had undergone an unprecedented transformation!

Even if there were a few side effects, they wouldn't matter much.

Subconsciously, Xu Jingming opened his system panel:

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Level】: First Tier Lower (+)

【Ability】: Doushen Shenlei (S)

【Physique】: 391 Qi-Blood (+)

【Spirit】: 289 Hertz (+)

【Skills】: Spear Art (Advanced+), Lightning Wind Break (Advanced+)

【Body Tempering】: Lei Ting Immortal Body (First Layer+)

【Ability Points】: 2234

'Qi-Blood directly skyrocketed by over a hundred points!'

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up slightly.

For ability users, aside from the Qi-Blood value increasing when advancing in rank,

regular physical training could only raise Qi-Blood by two or three points.

Yet he, who had already gained over a hundred Qi-Blood from advancing just a few days ago, had his Qi-Blood value skyrocket by another hundred points!

Of course, Qi-Blood value was merely one of the data-based expressions of physical strength.

As for other aspects like physical defense and wound recovery speed, they couldn't be seen from Qi-Blood.

However, he had a feeling.

In his current state, probably relying on physical strength alone, without using any combat techniques or abilities, he could fight a Second Tier fierce beast head-on!

Additionally, he noticed that a Body Tempering column had been newly added to the system panel.

'Looks like I can use ability points to directly enhance Body Tempering strength from now on.'

Xu Jingming rejoiced inwardly.

"Congratulations, junior brother, on successfully shaping the foundation of the Lei Ting Immortal Body. Your martial path ahead will be smooth."

At this moment, Liu Ming also walked up from the door, congratulating him with a smile.

"This is your senior brother Liu Ming, whom you met last time you came over."

Yang Zhentian introduced him at the appropriate moment.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Liu."

Xu Jingming put on his upper garment and called out respectfully.

"Last time I saw you, you weren't yet Teacher's student. This meeting is different.

"But I didn't prepare anything either. What's your student number? I'll transfer some credits to you, consider it a meeting gift from your senior brother."

Liu Ming had a mild temperament and was about to hand over a meeting gift on the spot.

Xu Jingming noticed Yang Zhentian beside him wasn't stopping it, but instead gave a slight nod, so he told the other party his student number.

In no time, his phone received a notification—his student account had an extra 200 credits.

"That much?!"

Looking at the text message notification on his phone, Xu Jingming was slightly stunned.

200 credits—that's two million Daxia coins.

Just a meeting gift, and it's this valuable?

"Just 200 credits, it's not much for your Senior Brother Liu."

Yang Zhentian beside him said with a smile, "Senior brothers should take more care of their junior brothers. When you have junior brothers and sisters, you'll need to prepare meeting gifts too."

"Understood, Teacher."

Xu Jingming nodded, indicating he understood.

"Your foundation has been successfully shaped, and you haven't eaten or drunk for five days. You're tired too—go back and rest first.

"Come back tomorrow morning and learn fist and spear techniques with your Senior Brother Liu."

Yang Zhentian immediately waved his hand, a hint of fatigue between his brows as well.

Five days without food or drink was nothing much for a seventh-rank ability user like him.

But the continuous, extremely precise control of abilities for five days to reshape Xu Jingming's body was incredibly draining.

Telling Xu Jingming to go rest—in fact, he himself needed rest even more.

Xu Jingming naturally saw this too, so he didn't disturb further. After respectfully taking his leave, he left the villa.

"June 22nd—I didn't expect shaping the foundation would take nearly five days and five nights."

Outside the villa, Xu Jingming glanced at the date on his phone and couldn't help feeling a bit emotional.

For those five days and nights, he had endured inhuman agony while needing to stay conscious the entire time.

Fortunately, he endured it all and ultimately achieved a 98% essence blood absorption rate—near-perfect compatibility.

"It's still early now. Perfect timing to head to the martial hall and test my physical strength after shaping the Thunder Body."

The essence blood of an eighth-rank lower Lei Ting Tyrannosaurus was an SS-grade resource.

With Yang Zhentian's help, most of this essence blood merged into Xu Jingming's body, becoming part of him.

And the astonishing energy contained within the essence blood meant that Xu Jingming, who hadn't eaten anything for five consecutive days, didn't feel hungry at all.

On the contrary, he was full of vigor and in high spirits.

So he couldn't wait to verify just how much his strength had increased after gaining the Thunder Body.
