Chapter 550: Breaking through to Rank 6! Su Su Qingli arrives!

The Fourth Vanguard Team, including Xu Jingming, had a total of six members.

In the battle just now, one person was seriously injured, and two were lightly injured.

They were considered to be in relatively good shape; a treatment by a healing-type Awakened would be enough for them to recover.

Some vanguard teams had one or two Rank 7 Masters killed in action directly.

On the way back to the villa, one could see their teammates with solemn expressions.

"I've already ordered the specially prepared nutritional meals. They should be delivered in about half an hour. You all should go back to your rooms and rest for a while."

After returning to the villa, Zhou Yan, as the captain, said in a deep voice.

Awakened consume a massive amount of energy, especially those who are Rank 7 Masters.

Ordinary meals simply cannot replenish what is consumed.

And these specially prepared meals were made using the meat of Rank 7 fierce beasts.

In addition, rare flowers and herbs that can rapidly restore psychic energy were added to ensure that psychic energy could be restored to its peak state within a few hours.

"Understood." Xu Jingming and the others nodded, then returned to their respective rooms.

As for the three injured team members, they had already gone to the military medical team to receive treatment.

"420,000 psychic points. I didn't expect that advancing to Rank 6 would require so many psychic points."

In the villa bedroom, Xu Jingming sat casually on the sofa, pondering to himself.

This was the time he had accumulated the most psychic points.

But even so, behind the psychic energy column on the system panel, there was still no plus sign.

"Advancing from the S-rank Purple Heaven Divine Thunder to the SS-rank Doutian Divine Thunder cost me 100,000 psychic points.

To advance from SS-rank to SSS-rank, 420,000 psychic points aren't enough to meet the requirements; the psychic points needed must be even more terrifying.

However, the current frontline battlefield is a great opportunity for me to harvest psychic points.

The more my strength improves, the more fierce beasts I can kill.

Since that's the case, there's no need to save up psychic points to wait for upgrading psychic energy like last time.

Let's just add points to my level directly."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Jingming suddenly used his intent to click the plus sign behind the level on the system panel.

"Shenlan! Add points for me!"

Psychic points -420,000!

【Physique】: Qi and Blood → Qi and Blood!

【Spirit】: He → He!

Boom!!

Endless power surged out from Xu Jingming's body, and his blood vessels, meridians, and bones were rapidly strengthened!

Crackle, crackle—

The brilliant Doutian Divine Thunder spontaneously lingered around his body, and his already sacred aura became even more ancient.

Within his sea of consciousness, his vast psychic power boiled, resembling a sea of thunder!

After a long while,

The changes in Xu Jingming's body and psychic power slowly stopped.

"Fortunately, I didn't break through on the battlefield, otherwise, that period of time just now would have been enough for the Azure Void Thunder Bird to kill me a hundred times!"

Xu Jingming stood up abruptly from the sofa, throwing punches and using his psychic energy casually to feel the changes in strength brought about by the advancement.

"Advancing from Rank 5 Upper to Rank 6, both my qi and blood and my psychic power have surged by 3,000 points.

My overall strength is almost more than 6 times what it was before!"

Excitement flickered in Xu Jingming's eyes.

In this way, a single burst of psychic energy would be enough to kill an ordinary Rank 6 fierce beast!

"You're so excited just after returning from the battlefield; it seems your harvest was quite good."

Suddenly, a melodious voice sounded from the position behind and to the right.

Turning his head to look, Xu Jingming realized that Teacher Su Su Qingli, wearing a tight combat suit with a tall and slender figure, was standing gracefully on the balcony.

Her beautiful side profile appeared crystal clear like jade under the sunlight.

Yet, Xu Jingming's passive perception of the Heart Net had never discovered when Su Su Qingli had appeared there from beginning to end.

"Teacher Su?"

Xu Jingming hurriedly stood up and welcomed Su Su Qingli in from the balcony.

"Fighting fiercely for more than two hours.

Even a Rank 7 Master would have to lie down and rest in exhaustion upon returning.

I didn't expect you to still have the strength to use psychic energy..."

Entering the bedroom and sensing the thunder aura that hadn't completely dissipated in the surrounding air, Su Su Qingli immediately showed a look of surprise.

"I just broke through, so I tested the power of my psychic energy a little," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"After an advancement, it is indeed necessary to confirm how much your strength has increased.

However, this method is still too crude; it's best to go to a specialized training room..."

Su Su Qingli nodded nonchalantly at first, but after the realization hit her, her voice stopped abruptly.

A pair of beautiful almond eyes widened slightly, and she said in disbelief:

"You've advanced to Rank 6?"

Swish—

Before Xu Jingming could answer, Su Su Qingli's vast psychic power surged out.

She sensed Xu Jingming thoroughly from top to bottom before finally confirming this fact.

"I remember your birthday is in December, right?

You haven't even turned 20 years old yet, and you've already stepped into Rank 6!"

Su Su Qingli's exquisite face was full of shock.

From Rank 5 to Rank 6 is considered a bottleneck that is relatively difficult for Awakened to cross.

I don't know how many Awakened are stuck here, unable to make progress for the rest of their lives.

Xu Jingming's talent is astonishing; although this bottleneck couldn't trap him, it should have taken him at least some time, right?

But I didn't expect that he still completed the breakthrough at an astonishing speed!

"In this way, you should have no problem entering the top 4 of the Genius Tournament."

A faint brilliance flickered in Su Su Qingli's beautiful eyes.

Although she didn't seem to care much about Xu Jingming's results in this Genius Tournament on the surface, after all, Xu Jingming was too young.

But if Xu Jingming could really enter the top 4, it would undoubtedly be a huge honor!

"There's indeed no problem with the top four of the Genius Tournament, but more importantly,

entering Rank 6, I can also learn more powerful SSS-rank combat techniques."

Xu Jingming's determined eyes carried anticipation.

SSS-rank combat techniques are powerful!

But the cultivation conditions are extremely harsh; if the level is too low, there's simply no chance to release them at all!

Rank 6 is considered the threshold for being able to release SSS-rank combat techniques.

And the SSS-rank combat technique that left the deepest impression in his memory was the "Wan Leitianlao Yin" he saw at the Demon University before.

For this reason, he also learned the prerequisite combat technique "Tian Lei Shu".

"After the war here ends and we return to the Leiting Martial Arts Hall, I will find some SSS-rank combat techniques for you."

Su Su Qingli said with a soft smile.

"Teacher, how long will this war last?" Xu Jingming asked with some hesitation.

If it takes a long time, he could continue to stay here after the Genius Tournament is over.

"The total number of fierce beasts hoarded in the Senbai Canyon is about 160,000.

In the first wave of attacks just now, about 30,000 fierce beasts died.

At this rate, this war should end in about three days."

After thinking for a moment, Su Su Qingli replied.
