Chapter 592

After training for over two hours and preliminarily mastering his Baozhang physique,

Xu Jingming stopped training and swallowed a White Jade Spirit-Stabilizing Pill.

BOOM!!

The pill dissolved instantly upon entry, and Xu Jingming immediately felt his consciousness clearer than ever before.

His mental force within the consciousness sea was now denser than before.

【Mental】: He (+)

Checking the system panel, his mental force had increased by about 250 points compared to before.

"One White Jade Spirit-Stabilizing Pill raises mental force by 250 points; if I swallow all five, it should total around 1,250 points—not bad."

For mental force-enhancing pills of the same type, you usually can only take one.

But the White Jade Spirit-Stabilizing Pill can be taken multiple times.

Its evaluation as an eighth-grade pill is largely due to this effect.

The only drawback is that you must wait two days between doses.

"The rewards for the Talent Competition, besides these cultivation resources and SS-class battle suits, include access to the Qingfeng Secret Realm.

In past competitions, notification for entry usually came about ten days after the event ended; I wonder how this year's will be arranged.

But they should notify us in advance..."

Xu Jingming rose and left the training room, entering the living room and settling comfortably onto the sofa.

He then retrieved the combat technique manual for Phantom Thunder Step from his space ring.

This S+-rank movement technique was harder than he'd imagined.

Although he'd studied it for two days, he still hadn't reached the point where he could directly spend points on it.

Of course,

his ability points on the system panel were already exhausted, so he couldn't spend any yet.

He planned to visit the Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym tomorrow to register, then find the weapons master to custom-order a spear.

After that, he'd go to the city wall to inquire whether a beast tide was imminent.

If there was, he'd join the city defense force immediately.

If not, he'd head out to the wilderness first.

After reaching the sixth tier, Xu Jingming's stamina had increased by more than several times.

Thus, he didn't sleep that night but studied combat techniques all night.

At seven a. m. the next day, Xu Jingming and Xia Lan, under Ling Shuang's guidance, returned to the Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym.

This time, they finally met the gym's director, Liu Shan.

"My apologies, my apologies—I was too busy last night and couldn't greet you personally."

As soon as they entered the office, Liu Shan rushed forward with great enthusiasm.

If not for what happened yesterday and the wiretaps installed in the villa,

Xu Jingming might have believed this guy was genuinely as warm as he appeared.

"Director Liu, Master Su assigned me here primarily to..."

Ling Shuang briefly explained the matter to Liu Shan.

She also mentioned Xu Jingming's role as mentor.

"The double champion of the Talent Competition! The strongest prodigy on Blue Planet! Fame doesn't compare to meeting you—I recognized you the moment you walked in."

Liu Shan smiled at Xu Jingming:

"You're more than qualified to be our Elite Training Camp's mentor!

Zhao Song, gather all the trainees—let these young ones get to know him."

"Jingming, Xia Lan, go ahead," Ling Shuang nodded.

"Alright."

Xu Jingming and Xia Lan nodded and followed Zhao Song out.

"Our Elite Training Camp's trainees aren't as elite as the Prodigy Training Camp at headquarters, but their strength is still decent.

Of the 200 trainees, the highest-ranked have already reached the sixth tier, and many are fifth tier.

Recently, they've all been watching the Talent Competition—if they knew you're their new mentor, they'd be thrilled."

Zhao Song said with a smile as he led the way.

Xu Jingming remained noncommittal.

In other places, the situation might indeed be like that.

But after witnessing Director Liu's conduct yesterday, he felt these trainees might not be as innocent as they seemed.

There might be a few troublemakers.

Still, he was only here to lend his name and make a brief appearance—he wasn't responsible for teaching.

Even if there were troublemakers, he didn't need to care.

On the second floor of the Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym, in the spacious training hall, most of the Elite Training Camp trainees had been summoned.

Most of these trainees were natives of Dayangzhou; less than one-fifth were from Daxia.

Yet they all spoke Daxia language among themselves.

"What's going on? I was in the middle of training—why suddenly call us together?"

"I heard we've got a new mentor."

"Really? Who? Why didn't the head coach mention it before?"

"It was just announced recently—the new mentor is apparently Xu Jingming from the Prodigy Training Camp."

"Holy shit?! Lei Di! Is that true?"

When they heard the new mentor was Xu Jingming, many trainees were stunned.

Yet some trainees remained expressionless—they'd clearly been notified in advance.

Amid the trainees' curious murmurs, Xu Jingming soon arrived on the second-floor training hall with Zhao Song.

"It's Xu Jingming!"

"Lei Di! It really is him!"

"That aura, those eyes—unbelievable!"

"..."

Before Xu Jingming even approached, many trainees burst into exclamations.

Of course, most were young, attractive girls.

Naturally, some young men frowned slightly, feeling annoyed.

In comparison, the tall woman beside Xu Jingming, with her blue eyes, drew even more interest from them.

Undeniably, Xu Jingming's aura after reaching the sixth tier was formidable.

His tall, muscular frame, rugged, resolute face.

Combined with the unique divine aura granted by his SS-class ability, Heavenly Thunder God, he radiated a faint sense of pressure.

When he stepped before the trainees, his overwhelming aura silenced all chatter.

"Everyone, I'm sure you all recognize this man.

He is the double champion of the Global Prodigy Exchange Competition's Finals and Defense-Offense Match—the one known as 'Lei Di,' Xu Jingming!

For the coming period, he will be your new mentor.

Any questions you have, feel free to ask him."

Zhao Song introduced him with a smile.

The trainees erupted into enthusiastic applause.

Ask him?

First find someone willing to ask!

Xu Jingming silently added in his mind.

With Zhao Song's introduction, the rest was simple.

Xu Jingming briefly introduced himself, spoke a few formalities, then excused himself under the pretext of prior commitments.

Xia Lan had also planned to return to the villa to continue her training, but several girls with burning gazes stopped her.

One of them, a Daxia girl with voluminous curls, extended her right hand confidently:

"Hello, I'm He Xin. Welcome to our Elite Training Camp."
