Chapter 633: Could He Be a Seven-Star Master?

Xu Jingming's purpose in coming to the front-line battlefield was to kill as many ferocious beasts as possible.

Naturally, he could not conceal his true strength.

Even if the lightning-based ability triggered flames and slightly weakened the combat technique's power,

he could still crush the virtual opponents in the power certification.

A single Lei Mao was enough to instantly kill.

"Ah, this..."

"Could Zhou Xuan really be this fierce?"

They stared at the towering figure in the holographic projection who had cleared certifications from Level One to Level Four in under ten seconds.

Zhang Zhou and the others were momentarily stunned.

"Oh? I didn't expect this man to be such a skilled expert."

Xize narrowed his eyes, meticulously searching his memory for any Master-level Qiangzhe from Great Xia.

But none of their faces matched Xu Jingming's.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The battle continued; golden flames raged wildly within the holographic projection.

Xu Jingming quickly passed the Level Five Master certification and entered the Level Six Master battle.

Though the battle pace slowed considerably compared to before, anyone with eyes could see:

Level Six Masters were no match for Xu Jingming—he was relentlessly dominating them!

"Could Zhou Xuan really have Level Six strength?" The bald giant's face showed faint shock.

He himself was a Level Six Master, but he was a High-Grade Seventh-Rank ability user.

Compared to Xu Jingming, a Mid-Grade Seventh-Rank, they weren't even in the same league!

Keladuo was equally surprised—he hadn't expected anyone in this group to rival Xize's strength.

With varied thoughts swirling in their minds, Xu Jingming soon completed the Level Six certification and entered the Level Seven Master battle.

At this moment,

even Xize sat up straight, watching the upcoming battle with intense focus.

"The Level Seven Master opponent is clearly a Peak Seventh-Rank ability user."

In the virtual arena, Xu Jingming gazed at his opponent, whose aura had surged dramatically across a kilometer away.

His eyes flashed—he decisively activated his enhancement form!

Thunder Extreme State!!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Endless golden flames erupted outward from him in a wild storm.

Temperatures soaring to thousands of degrees, the entire space's heat spiked violently.

Anyone witnessing this would assume Xu Jingming was a pure Fire ability user—not a Lightning one.

"Though Thunder-Fire techniques are mediocre, the flames they produce are unmatched."

"From now on, on the front-line battlefield, I am Zhou Xuan—a Seventh-Rank Master with Fire ability!"

A carefree smile appeared on Xu Jingming's resolute face.

He seized the Molten Black Obsidian Spear wrapped in golden flames, its fire swirling.

He charged toward his opponent a kilometer away like a ferocious beast!

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The opponent was a Peak Seventh-Rank Enhancement-type ability user.

His blood qi surged powerfully; each strike carried the force of thunder and lightning.

Yet Xu Jingming, spear in hand, matched him blow for blow.

With every spear strike, he held his ground—and even began to suppress his opponent slightly!

"Could Zhou Xuan actually complete the Level Seven Master certification?"

Watching the holographic scene, everyone unconsciously entertained this thought.

Xize's expression shifted slightly.

Whether or not Xu Jingming passed Level Seven, his displayed strength already surpassed Xize's!

After all, Xize couldn't dominate his opponent like this.

As Zhang Zhou and the others had guessed, just five minutes later,

Xu Jingming defeated the Peak Seventh-Rank opponent and successfully completed the Level Seven Master certification!

"It's really... a Level Seven Master!!"

Everyone, including Xize, stared in awe at the towering figure engulfed in brilliant golden flames on the projection.

Though they knew it was only a hologram, they seemed to feel the terrifying heat radiating from those flames.

"I never expected a routine power certification to produce such a prodigy."

Xize rose from his couch and straightened his battle attire.

As someone who had failed the Level Seven Master certification, he knew exactly how terrifying its difficulty was.

No matter this man's background, completing the Level Seven Master certification alone made him worth cultivating a connection with.

The battle continued.

Xu Jingming ultimately lost in the Level Eight Master certification.

This relieved everyone—Level Seven Master was already monstrous enough.

If he'd become a Level Eight Master, even the commander of the Degaka Battle Group would have taken special notice and actively recruited him!

"The Level Eight Master opponent is also a Peak Seventh-Rank Master.

But it's clear his combat awareness and experience are far superior.

If I used my original Doushen Thunder and activated Thunder Storm State, I could win easily.

But unfortunately, Thunder Storm State's transformation is too conspicuous—it would easily reveal my identity."

Xu Jingming silently thought as he removed the neural helmet.

In truth, it wasn't just the power certification.

Even on the front-line battlefield, he must avoid using signature techniques whenever possible.

But for now, Level Seven Master combat power was more than sufficient.

"Level Seven Master—impressive!"

"I'm Xize of the Gray Family. Mind if we become friends?"

As Xu Jingming exited the virtual world, Xize immediately smiled and spoke.

His expression was friendly—no trace of arrogance remained.

He even recognized Xu Jingming as a Great Xia native and spoke to him in Great Xia's language.

"Zhou Xuan." Xu Jingming nodded.

"A Level Seven Master qualifies for elite Master squads.

I'm joining the Blood Blade Squad—Zhou Brother, if you don't mind, join me.

Uncle Keladuo, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Xize turned to Keladuo, who smiled and replied:

"Of course not. The Blood Blade Squad always welcomes strong warriors."

At these words, Zhang Zhou and the others looked at Xu Jingming with envy.

The Degaka Battle Group had nearly a hundred Master squads, large and small.

The Blood Blade Squad was unquestionably among the top five elite Master teams!

Every member was a Level Seven Master; their captain was even a Level Eight Master!

Even Level Seven Masters couldn't easily join—only someone like Xize, with powerful connections, could force his way in.

Having a strong squad as backup on the front-line battlefield meant dramatically higher survival rates.

Yet to their surprise, Xu Jingming shook his head and declined:

"Sorry, I'm more comfortable operating alone."

"I see. That's a pity."

Xize was taken aback but didn't press further; instead, he handed over a business card:

"This is my personal contact. If you change your mind, feel free to reach out anytime.

Uncle Keladuo, I'll be off now."

Having witnessed Xu Jingming's power, Xize had no interest in lingering.

He bid Keladuo farewell and turned to leave.

"Zhou Xuan, opportunities to connect with Young Master Xize are rare—I suggest you reach out to him later.

In the future, acquiring high-grade equipment or combat techniques will be much easier."

After Xize left, Keladuo offered a kind reminder.

Xu Jingming smiled but said nothing.

With Thunder Martial Hall as his backing, he had no interest in becoming a noble scion's lackey.
