Chapter 584: Could It Really Be Done That Way? The Curious Ling Shuang!

Crackle, crackle—

Half an hour passed. In the villa's bathroom, golden Lei Guang flickered, and the once-bright-red pool of bloodied water had grown considerably clearer.

The energy contained within the blood of the seventh-rank fierce beast, the Azure Void Thunder Bird, had already been fully absorbed by Xu Jingming, Song Qiuyun, and Jiang Chuxuan.

Xu Jingming's own qi and blood had risen by roughly 300 points.

Compared to earlier, the state of Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu was clearly much better.

Each of them was glowing with vigor, no longer showing any of the limpness from before.

"Worthy of an SS-rank lightning-type ability—used for body tempering, it's truly powerful."

Song Qiuyun let out a long breath and praised softly.

She could feel that her physique had grown much stronger than before!

Without the aid of Xu Jingming's Doushen Shenlei, relying solely on this seventh-rank fierce beast's blood, there was no way to achieve this degree of effect.

"I feel my physique strength has improved by roughly more than half of what it was before!" the white-haired girl Jiang Chu Xuan said in pleasant surprise.

Perhaps because her voice was too forceful, even her tall, full bosom trembled lightly along with it.

Unlike Song Qiuyun, without an eighth-rank Grandmaster family backing her, the cultivation resources she normally used were far fewer.

Her physique itself was inferior to Song Qiuyun's, which was why the final strengthening effect was even better.

"You've both gained benefits, but I also put in quite a bit of effort. How are you planning to thank me?"

Xu Jingming leaned casually against the pool's edge, grinned, and revealed a smile like a Wanrufan Sect villain.

"Yes, yes, you've worked hard, my lord Xu. Leave the rest to us."

Song Qiuyun shot Xu Jingming a coquettishly exasperated glance.

Clearly knowing Xu Jingming's preferences, she pulled Jiang Chu Xuan along and sank beneath the water.

She brought her Bai Xi, clean, pretty face close to a certain enormous shadow.

But it had only just begun when, accompanied by a soft sound, a spatial gate abruptly appeared in midair in the bathroom!

"This is??!" Seeing this familiar commotion, Xu Jingming's heart skipped a beat.

Doushen Shenlei immediately Lei Kuangyong forth, and the entire bath instantly transformed into a dazzling golden Lei Hai, making it impossible to see the scene beneath the water's surface.

"Jingming, are you free now? I'm preparing to discuss going to Dayangzhou with you..."

Sure enough, the next moment Hearing Ling Shuang's slender figure stepped out of the spatial gate.

Before she finished speaking, upon seeing where Xu Jingming was, she cut herself off abruptly.

"Teacher Ling."

Xu Jingming only exposed his upper body above the water and said, somewhat awkwardly:

"Sorry, I'm afraid I'm a bit inconvenienced right now..."

"I'm the one who should apologize. I didn't expect you to be bathing."

Ling Shuang shook her head, her expression still calm, but those beautiful eyes subconsciously swept toward the area beneath Xu Jingming.

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu Xuan probably sensed something too.

Their movements grew slightly larger, immediately causing Xu Jingming to involuntarily let out a muffled grunt.

"Are you alright?" Hearing Ling Shuang asked in confusion.

"N-no, I'm fine. The water's probably just too cold." Xu Jingming quickly shook his head.

"As long as you're fine, when you're free tomorrow, come to the mentor's office to see me."

Ling Shuang nodded slightly, imperceptibly withdrew her gaze, and her tall, slender figure re-entered the spatial gate and vanished.

"Phew, that scared me to death!"

After Ling Shuang left, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu Xuan finally surfaced from the water at the same time.

Song Qiuyun even patted her own tall chest with some lingering fear.

"I didn't expect Teacher Ling to come looking for me at this time either." Xu Jingming spread his hands helplessly.

"Principal Ling, you probably didn't notice us just now, did you?" Song Qiuyun blinked.

The address still kept Ling Shuang's original position at the Demon University.

"Probably not, but it's not certain." Xu Jingming shook his head.

His Doushen Shenlei possessed a certain degree of perception-blocking ability.

But whether that worked against an eighth-rank Grandmaster was also uncertain.

"Qiuyun, what are you afraid of? Ling Shuang is already our Demon University's principal. Even if she noticed, it's nothing.

Besides, our relationship with Jingming isn't anything to be ashamed of."

Jiang Chu Xuan, on the other hand, took it very much in stride and giggled.

"Is that so?" Song Qiuyun tilted her head, feeling that what Jiang Chu Xuan said did seem to make some sense.

On the other side,

Ling Shuang, who had stepped out of the teleportation gate and returned to her own villa, finally let out a sigh of relief.

As an eighth-rank Grandmaster, Xu Jingming's Doushen Shenlei naturally couldn't block her spiritual perception.

She had almost very clearly sensed the scene beneath the water's surface.

"It can actually be done that way?" Ling Shuang couldn't help murmuring softly.

Though she was 35 this year and a complete blank slate in matters of romance, she still possessed basic biological knowledge.

She just hadn't expected there could be other methods!

The moment she thought of that scene from earlier, Ling Shuang felt her cheeks grow slightly hot.

The world of young people seemed a little too stimulating for her.

At the same time, she couldn't help feeling a bit curious—besides that, could there be other methods?

Early the next morning, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan, who had been up all night, were still fast asleep.

Xu Jingming, on the other hand, came alone to Instructor Ling Shuang's mentor office.

"Teacher, I'm here." Xu Jingming called out respectfully.

Ling Shuang looked at the Xu Jingming before her.

Yet she instinctively thought of the novel positions she had looked up online last night, as if a door to a whole new world had been opened for her.

Thinking of this, a faint blush rose on her pretty face.

But the blush came quickly and faded just as quickly; Ling Shuang soon returned to her usual cool, detached composure.

Her red lips parted slightly as she spoke softly:

"The day after tomorrow, December 1st, we'll set off for Dayangzhou. You know that, right?"

"I know." Xu Jingming nodded.

The Genius Tournament championship trophy and champion rewards would be delivered today.

The remaining two days would be spent accompanying Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan, which lined up perfectly with departure the day after tomorrow.

"For this trip to Dayangzhou, even if you're going to help me with things, you'll need a suitable identity.

According to your Teacher Su's idea, the plan is to arrange for you as an instructor at the elite training camp of the Dayangzhou branch of Lei Ting Martial Hall."

After a brief pause, Ling Shuang added:

"Of course, I know your main purpose in going to Dayangzhou is to hunt fierce beasts.

Therefore, you won't have any teaching duties—just assist me with some of my arrangements whenever I need you."

The Prodigy Training Camp of Lei Ting Martial Hall was located only at the headquarters.

But the Elite Training Camp was basically set up at every relatively large branch.

"Me? An instructor at the Elite Training Camp? Isn't that a bit inappropriate? I'm only at the sixth tier."

Xu Jingming asked tentatively.

Instructors at the Elite Training Camp all started at at least the seventh tier.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. We only look at real combat power, not tier.

With your current strength, being an instructor at the Elite Training Camp is more than enough."

Ling Shuang shook her head and replied.

"Understood. Then I'll follow all of Instructor Ling's arrangements." Xu Jingming nodded respectfully.
