Chapter 586: Rising Fame! Changes After Winning the Championship!

"So that's how it is." Xu Jingming finally understood.

Indeed, whether in the past or now.

He had never heard of any ninth-rank lightning-affinity adept in Great Xia who was famous for using a spear.

"But Great Xia doesn't have one—overseas, there are.

If you go to Dayangzhou, you might get the chance to encounter an SSS-rank lightning-affinity spear technique."

Su Qingli said with a smile.

Xiong Country currently has a ninth-rank Wu Sheng, specializing in the spear, stationed in Dayangzhou.

But obtaining that self-created SSS-rank spear technique from him is extremely difficult.

"This 'Cang Lei Ba Wang Spear' is also in the headquarters' library—you can just borrow it when the time comes."

"Understood." Xu Jingming nodded.

Now that he had the technique, next he needed to hunt ferocious beasts to earn ability points.

"Also, your SSS-rank alloy spear—I originally planned to have our martial arts hall's weapons master forge it for you.

But forging a spear takes at least ten days, and up to over a month.

You're leaving for Dayangzhou soon—you won't have time to wait.

So I specially reserved a weapons master named Noah Kevin for you in Dayangzhou to forge it for you.

When you arrive in Dayangzhou, just go to him and specify the spear traits you need."

Su Qingli added.

This Kevin is from the EU, but has been based in Dayangzhou ever since.

He's essentially a weapons master without national affiliation, with extremely high renown.

Many international adepts go to him to forge weapons.

"Thank you, Teacher—this is incredibly thoughtful." Xu Jingming hurriedly said.

He had been considering this issue himself, but hadn't expected Teacher Su to have already handled it.

"By the way, have you received the reward your Ling teacher gave you?"

After finishing the main matters, Su Qingli asked with a smile.

"Yes, I just went to see Teacher Ling."

Xu Jingming extended his right hand, where a simple black space ring rested on his ring finger.

"Before you even entered the Top 32, your Ling teacher had already planned your reward.

She originally intended to give you the thousand-cubic-meter space ring she used at sixth rank.

But that model's design was more feminine, so she went out of her way to find a weapons master.

Using her space ability, she had it reforged into a masculine-style space ring."

Su Qingli said with a faint smile.

The Yao Lei Zhang she gave you before was also feminine in design, but she didn't think much of it and just handed it to you.

Yet who would have thought Ling Shuang was so considerate—she went out of her way to change the design.

"No wonder she was your principal at Mo University—I've never seen Ling Shuang care this much for anyone before."

Su Qingli said half-jokingly.

"So that's how it was..."

Xu Jingming froze slightly, warmth flowing through his heart.

That meant, regardless of whether he won the championship or not, he would have received the reward.

Whether at Mo University or at Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall, Ling Shuang had always treated him this way—with care.

"Looks like once I get to Dayangzhou, I'll have to work hard for Teacher Ling."

Xu Jingming thought silently to himself.

In the past, his strength was too low to be of any use to Ling Shuang.

But now it's different—anywhere he's needed, he won't refuse...

Only two days remained before departure to Dayangzhou.

Thus, in the following days, Xu Jingming spent all his time with Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan.

They trained together and studied techniques during the day, and at night they let loose, doing things they loved.

With the conclusion of the 21st Global Talent Exchange Competition, Xu Jingming—the dual champion—rose to fame.

Every department of Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall held grand banquets to celebrate this moment.

Mo City Institute of Abilities also lit up with decorations.

They hung banners, or used holographic projections to replay scenes of Xu Jingming's battles in the Talent Competition.

Even the Deep Blue Society he founded welcomed a new wave of powerful members because of it.

The most extreme case was Jiangcheng,

According to his aunt Xu Qingwan, the Jiangcheng municipal government erected a statue of him right in the city center!

Immediately after the statue was completed, many junior and senior high school students went to pray before it.

Praying they'd achieve good results in their studies—or in the Wu Ke Gaokao.

Moreover, Xu Jingming's former high school, Jiangcheng No. 2 High School,

placed a sign reading "Alma Mater of Talent Competition Champion Xu Jingming" in the most prominent spot at its gate.

It attracted a large crowd of citizens from other cities in Jiangnan Province, becoming a minor attraction.

Though exaggerated, it was understandable.

Jiangcheng itself lies in the poorest northern part of Jiangnan Province—producing even a fifth-rank adept was recorded in municipal history as a promotional milestone.

Not to mention Xu Jingming, a young sixth-tier ability user who has also claimed the supreme glory of the Genius Tournament championship!

Beyond the places Xu Jingming had originally been, which were affected by his championship.

His aunt Xu Qingwan's family also underwent earth-shaking changes.

Her family's exotic flowers and herbs shop received a massive influx of high-quality orders.

These orders not only offered purchase prices double the market rate.

Even after hearing Xu Qingwan say that, due to too many orders, she might not have time to handle them and would need to delay delivery.

They simply canceled the delivery deadline altogether, changing it to no time limit for delivery!

Such terms were a first for Xu Qingwan, who had been in the exotic flowers and herbs business for decades.

Of course,

She also knew that all of this was because of Xu Jingming.

Besides his aunt's family, Song Feng's side also received a flood of orders thanks to Xu Jingming's championship.

These orders, even if their Limit Equipment expanded by four or five times, reaching the scale of the original Radiant Sun Equipment.

Would require working around the clock for two or three years to complete!

"Who could have imagined that my original plan was to spend four or five years growing Limit Equipment to the scale of Radiant Sun Equipment.

But I never expected that Xu Jingming only needed to compete in a single tournament, and my goal was already achieved..."

Song Feng's face was full of emotion.

He had originally thought that at the very least, he'd have to wait until Xu Jingming reached seventh-tier, or took on a fairly important position at Lei Ting Wu Guan, before he could help the Song family.

But he never expected that, without Xu Jingming even opening his mouth, business had already been coming in an endless stream.

"Second Brother, the vice manager of Radiant Sun Equipment has been contacting me lately, seemingly wanting to inquire about our business situation."

At this moment, his younger brother Song Hai walked over, smiling as he spoke.

"It's fine, it's not exactly some particularly important business secret, just tell them directly."

Song Feng smiled lightly, his expression carrying a hint of mischief.

He still remembered, back then at the meeting.

Eldest Brother Song Zhan had always looked down on his approach, believing that Xu Jingming couldn't possibly help the Song family in the short term.

He wondered what expression he'd have upon learning of the recent changes at Limit Equipment.

It was sure to be quite a sight.
