Chapter 642: One Month! Xu Jingming Returns!

A ninth-tier Martial Saint, just by the fluctuation of their qi and blood alone, is enough to make low-tier ability users burst apart and die!

Although Xu Jingming was not yet that powerful.

The qi and blood he casually swept out still made the fifth-tier Xia Lan feel as if pinned by the gaze of a top-tier fierce beast, her whole body going limp.

It was like an ordinary person suddenly running into a three- or four-meter-tall black bear in the forest.

Either fainting on the spot, or their legs giving way, unable to muster any strength, unable to move.

Of course,

As an ability user and also a member of the Prodigy Training Camp, Xia Lan was naturally not that pathetic.

She could still activate her space-type ability to teleport herself in.

But in front of Xu Jingming, for some reason she did not want to use her ability.

"Sorry."

Xu Jingming, who had been lost in thought, only now came back to himself, restraining his aura, "Is this better?"

"N-no... still can't, I still feel a bit weak, I can't even stand up."

Xia Lan at the doorway gently shook her head, putting on a helpless look as she spoke.

"Then it'll probably take a while to recover. Let me carry you to the sofa first."

Xu Jingming murmured, rose, and walked to the villa's front door.

He directly scooped Xia Lan up in a princess carry.

Xia Lan, who had just returned from the martial hall, was wearing a set of women's battle attire.

Wrapped in the battle attire, Xia Lan's slender, supple figure was displayed to perfection.

Even though there was still a layer of fabric between them, Xu Jingming's right hand, which held Xia Lan's legs, could still feel the smooth softness of those beautiful legs.

And Xia Lan, too, was having her first close contact with a man at such a distance, and could not help but blush slightly on her pretty face.

"About a minute or two of rest, and I'll recover."

After carefully setting Xia Lan down on the sofa, Xu Jingming rose and headed into the kitchen:

"What would you like to drink? I'll get it for you."

"Juice is fine." Xia Lan said softly.

"Okay, coming right up."

"Huh, Jingming, did you just get back from outside? Why is there still blood on your battle attire?"

"Mm, I went out in the early hours of the morning."

Xu Jingming did not explain further, "Also, I should probably head to the Wilderness Zone again tomorrow."

The frontline war had ended, and the next battle would most likely only reignite ten-plus days later.

During this period, he naturally had to enter the Wilderness Zone again to hunt fierce beasts.

Remembering how Xia Lan had blamed him last time for going into the Wilderness Zone without telling her, he deliberately mentioned it this time.

Yet Xia Lan, upon hearing the news, was not all that surprised.

As for Xu Jingming frequently entering the Wilderness Zone, she had long since grown used to it.

For Xu Jingming,

Being able to take part in frontline battlefield combat and also enter Dayangzhou's Wilderness Zone was undoubtedly the best place to harvest ability points.

Therefore, for the next stretch of time.

Xu Jingming barely rested at all — either on the frontline battlefield, or in Dayangzhou's Wilderness Zone.

He even spent more time in the Wilderness Zone than he did at the Lei Ting Wu Guan villa.

Hall Master Liu Shan had originally assumed Xu Jingming would stir up trouble using his identity as the Elite Training Camp's head coach.

But he hadn't expected him to be a martial-obsessed maniac who only liked to burrow into the Wilderness Zone!

Regarding this, Liu Shan was naturally happy to have peace and quiet.

"Coach Xu still isn't back? Tomorrow the people from the Holy Spirit Wu Guan are coming!"

"No idea, I haven't seen him around the martial hall for a whole month now."

"Tch, worthy of a Prodigy Tournament prodigy — truly willful."

"Willful is willful, but tomorrow the Holy Spirit Wu Guan people come — what are we supposed to do?"

"......"

A month later, on February 16th, in the West City District of Moben, the second-floor training hall of the Lei Ting Wu Guan's main building.

The Elite Training Camp's trainees were, as usual, each carrying out their own training here.

Yet amid the casual conversation between training sessions, there was a faint trace of worry.

Tomorrow,

The Holy Spirit Wu Guan's S-class ability awakener, George, would be bringing people over.

But their head coach, Xu Jingming, had still not shown a trace of himself.

Although a full month ago, the senior executive Hearing Ling Shuang had specifically told them that Xu Jingming would not be involved in the training camp's teaching,

not even being present at an occasion like this was indeed a bit excessive.

"Xia Lan, do you know when the head coach will be back?"

Someone asked Xia Lan, who was practicing her space-type ability in the training hall.

Xia Lan was beautiful, and had a great figure.

Especially those long legs — rounded and slender — truly a feast for the eyes.

During the first stretch after her arrival, she had drawn the attention of quite a few male trainees, and even some female trainees.

But once they learned Xia Lan was living in the same villa as Xu Jingming, they all promptly extinguished their thoughts.

Judging by the situation, Xia Lan most likely had something going on with Xu Jingming.

You have to know, when Xu Jingming was in Great Xia, for the sake of his own woman, he even dared to kill the direct descendant of a ninth-rank councilman.

Regarding Xia Lan, naturally they wouldn't dare harbor any improper thoughts.

"Not sure, the last time I saw him was ten days ago." Xia Lan shook her head and said.

Back in the Prodigy Training Camp, she already knew Xu Jingming was very driven.

But after getting up-close contact, she only then discovered that Xu Jingming was even more hardworking than she had imagined!

Since being suppressed by blood qi last time, in this past month, she had only seen Xu Jingming twice in total.

Each time, the other party looked travel-worn and weary, with bloodstains all over his combat suit.

"Look! Isn't that the Head Coach?"

At this moment, a trainee beside the massive floor-to-ceiling window suddenly pointed below the building and said.

Hearing this, the crowd looked over one after another, and sure enough saw a tall, towering youth figure landing not far in front of the building.

This youth had a tall build, appearing to be around 20 years old.

On his resolute face, there was a maturity and composure that didn't match his age.

He wore a black combat suit, most of which had been dyed dark red by blood.

A thick, large long spear was carried on his back, its sharp spear tip gleaming with a chilling cold light under the sunlight.

The training hall was at least a hundred-plus meters away from him, yet the moment the crowd saw him, they all sensed an icy aura.

That was the killing aura naturally formed after slaying large numbers of fierce beasts!

This killing aura made the hearts of those in the training hall jolt, and they instinctively held their breath.

Only after this figure entered the building and disappeared from view did the crowd come back to their senses, erupting into waves of shocked discussion.

"It really is Lei Di!"

"Did Lei Di just come back from the wilderness zone? The killing aura feels so heavy."

"Too terrifying, just a single glance and I feel like my heartbeat is about to stop!"

"......"

The trainees of the Elite Training Camp all knew clearly that Xu Jingming and they were simply not prodigies of the same world.

But when seeing for the first time Xu Jingming returning from the wilderness zone, his killing aura not yet fully dissipated, they still couldn't help being shocked.

A strong expert like this, if formally facing them in combat, probably just the eruption of his aura alone would leave them powerless to fight back......
