Chapter 489: Return to the Nation! The Obscure Spiritual Technique!

"Xu Jingming senior brother is actually this easygoing?"

"Wasn't it rumored on the forum that he became famous young and has a very proud personality?"

After Xu Jingming left, a young man beside him said in surprise.

Age 20!

SS-class ability!

Seventh-rank Master-level combat power!

These three labels appearing on a single person are enough to make peers of the same age fear him.

"Hearing is believing nothing; seeing is believing."

"You all know about the gambling match a while back—those people lost a huge amount of points."

"They naturally did everything they could to smear Senior Brother Xu."

The girl still wore the excitement of having gotten a signature, and quickly tucked the photo safely against her body.

"You're right. If I'd known it was just rumor, I should've asked for one too." The young man felt regretful.

He didn't have any idol worship toward Xu Jingming.

But now, Xu Jingming's signature had already sold for 20 points on the martial arts gym forum!

That's equivalent to 400,000 Daya currency!

If he could resell it, he could make a small profit...

"Captain, you're acting like a celebrity now—people are already asking for autographs."

At this moment, Xu Jingming's group was walking back toward Linghu Guild, and Lin Hui teased.

Xu Jingming smiled.

Back at Magic University, he'd already received this treatment; he hadn't expected that after just a short time at Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym, he'd get the same treatment again.

On the other side, Xia Lan's beautiful, sapphire-like eyes held a touch of reflection.

This was only from one video, and already it had such a huge impact—once the Global Genius Exchange Competition begins.

Xu Jingming's prestige will surely reach another peak!

After returning to Linghu Guild, Xu Jingming told Leng Yuexi and her sister they would return to Daya the next day.

That night, Leng Yuexi arranged a grand banquet to entertain them.

The next day, Xu Jingming's group woke up early and rushed with Miao Pu and others to the location of the Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym branch.

When he saw that Heishi Guild had already returned the Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym branch's supplies, Xu Jingming sighed in relief.

With hundreds of billions in supplies recovered, his contribution this time was immense.

After Feng Nian slaughtered Miao Pu and others in front of representatives from all factions.

He and Lin Hui and the others went to the Chaos Triangle Zone airport and boarded a warplane bound for Daya.

Inside the warplane cabin,

Xu Jingming's vast spiritual force constantly surrounded his body, shielding all surveillance and perception.

He studied the SSS-grade spiritual cultivation technique, "Lei Hai Guan Xiang Fa."

"Use thunder as a guide to forge spiritual force, imbuing it with the swift, furious aura of lightning!"

Upon successful cultivation, the spiritual force will resemble thunder, contained within the consciousness sea.

The entire consciousness sea will transform into a sea of thunder!

From then on, one will possess natural resistance against spiritual energy manipulation by spiritual-type abilities.

The spiritual force can even be shaped into a sword to launch attacks..."

This was a passage from "Lei Hai Guan Xiang Fa"; from this passage alone, it was not hard to see.

After successfully cultivating this spiritual technique, it would not only enhance Xu Jingming's elemental master techniques.

It could even allow him to launch attacks directly with spiritual force, like a spiritual-type ability user!

"Indeed, no wonder it's an SSS-grade spiritual technique—it's far superior to the SS-grade 'Shenhe Guan Xiang Fa.'"

Xu Jingming silently praised inwardly.

"Shenhe Guan Xiang Fa" was merely useful for strengthening spiritual force; it had no other particularly special features.

But "Lei Hai Guan Xiang Fa"'s only flaw was that it was far too obscure—much of its content was abstruse and hard to understand.

Understanding it was vastly more difficult than the SS-grade "Shenhe Guan Xiang Fa."

Since obtaining the manual, seven full days had passed, yet he still hadn't grasped even one-tenth of its content.

"At this rate, whether I can understand it enough to add points before the Global Genius Exchange Competition begins is still uncertain."

Xu Jingming, leaning lightly against his seat, frowned slightly.

The SSS-grade combat technique "Lei Shen Jiang Shi" involved the use of lightning abilities—he at least understood quite a bit of it.

But spiritual techniques were inherently more complex than combat technique manuals, and this one was created by the Supreme "Lei Shen."

Understanding it was even more troublesome.

"Once we arrive at the Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym headquarters, I'll ask Su Laoshi."

With her ninth-rank Law Saint experience, helping me understand it together should speed up progress."

Xu Jingming thought silently.

If it were anyone else, he would never have revealed this SSS-grade spiritual technique.

But Su Qingli had treated him very well—before leaving, she even gave him an eighth-rank peak protective talisman.

She was unquestionably a teacher worth trusting.

Sharing the manual with her to study together would not risk leakage.

The warplane flew swiftly; it took off at 9 a. m. and arrived in Guizhou Province by 2 p. m.

After that, it took another hour or so before he finally returned to the Lei Ting Martial Hall headquarters.

"I'm back!"

Looking at the spine standing at the entrance of the Lei Ting Martial Hall, flickering with blue lightning.

And seeing the Xia ability-users moving about within the headquarters area, Xu Jingming couldn't help but smile.

Compared to Myanmar, he still preferred Xia a bit more.

"Captain, do you have time tonight? Let's have a meal together, to celebrate the mission being completed smoothly." Xia Lan asked with a beaming smile.

"Sure, no problem." Xu Jingming smiled and nodded.

Later he still had to go find Su Laoshi to report on this S-rank mission.

Also, he still needed to get the Origin Energy Pill, have her help contact a weapon master, and help research the Spirit Refining Art.

All of these required time; he had originally planned to go to Magic University tonight, but it looked like that wasn't going to work.

Since that was the case, he could also gather with Xia Lan and the others tonight.

"Jingming, come over to my villa."

At this moment, Su Qingli's melodious voice suddenly appeared in Xu Jingming's mind.

A ninth-tier Law Saint, with formidable spiritual power, could easily cover the entire scope of the Lei Ting Martial Hall headquarters.

Therefore, she had discovered the returning Xu Jingming right away.

As for this voice that appeared directly in the mind, it was a technique of using spiritual power.

It was equivalent to an encrypted call; others couldn't know about it.

"Teacher is looking for me, so I'll head over first."

After saying a word to Lin Hui and the others, Xu Jingming spread his Thunder Dragon Wings and flew toward Su Qingli's villa.

"How nice — the moment he's back, he can receive the Hall Master's personal guidance."

Watching Xu Jingming fly off, Lin Hui's face was full of envy.

Of course,

Compared to Hall Su Laoshi's personal guidance, he still wanted Hearing Ling Shuang's guidance more.

But unfortunately, such a scene, he could only imagine it in his mind; in reality, there was simply no way to make it happen.

Thinking of this, Lin Hui couldn't help but grow even more envious of Xu Jingming, who was very close to Ling Shuang.
