Chapter 665: SSR-Class Combat Technique! Jiang Chu

"The Divine Blood Technique... it's completed like this..."

Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym, second-floor living room of the villa.

After spending two hours reading the entire manual, Xu Jingming's expression turned grim.

To perform the Divine Blood Technique, two conditions are required.

First, one must undergo the Divine Blood Ritual.

After the ritual, the adept's body will develop special blood acupoints.

Second, fill these blood acupoints with qi and blood.

This qi and blood cannot be one's own—it must be replenished using Blood Demon Pills.

Like ordinary pills, Blood Demon Pills are divided into nine grades, from Rank 1 to Rank 9.

The higher the grade of Blood Demon Pill used, the greater the enhancement gained when performing the Divine Blood Technique.

Each time the Divine Blood Technique is used, the qi and blood within the blood acupoints are completely depleted and must be refilled.

And the most crucial Blood Demon Pills are made from the blood of adepts!

The higher the rank of the adept, the higher the grade of Blood Demon Pill produced!

Ordinary humans can also be used to make Blood Demon Pills, though more are required.

"No wonder the Tianming Sect periodically performs blood sacrifices—it's to make Blood Demon Pills."

Xu Jingming exhaled deeply, searched his space ring, and indeed found a vial of crimson pills.

"Seven-grade Blood Demon Pills—there are three in total."

That means at least three hundred adepts have suffered a terrible fate!"

Such inhuman methods—the Tianming Sect truly deserves to die!"

Xu Jingming's gaze turned icy.

He did not destroy these pills; instead, he stored them in his space ring.

Once back in Daya, he could hand these pills over to a specialized agency for analysis.

"Similar techniques briefly appeared during our Second Civilization era."

But they were utterly eradicated by our Jin State—never expecting them to reemerge in today's Third Civilization era."

The holographic projection of Eva also furrowed her brow.

During the Second Civilization era, the entire Blue Planet was ruled by the Jin State.

Organizations like the Tianming Sect had no soil in which to grow.

"It's precisely because of the external threat posed by ferocious beasts."

Otherwise, the hundred nations of the Blue Planet would have long since gone to war."

Shaking his head, Xu Jingming also stored the Divine Blood Technique in his space ring.

Although the use of the Divine Blood Technique is inhumane, it contains many sophisticated elements.

If adapted for personal use, it could become an exceptionally monstrous combat technique.

After all, his Body Strengthening Art is still only SS-grade—it can still be improved to SSS-grade.

Perhaps inspiration can be drawn from the Divine Blood Technique.

Of course, he alone could never accomplish this—he still needs the system's aid.

But before evolving his Body Strengthening Art, he must first accumulate sufficient knowledge.

He planned to visit Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan at Mo University the next time he returned to Daya.

He would also ask Professor Yang to help examine and study this Divine Blood Technique together.

"By the way, Eva, is SSS-grade the strongest combat technique? Are there stronger ones?"

Xu Jingming asked curiously.

So far, the strongest combat technique he had encountered was only SSS-grade.

"Of course there are."

Eva played with her green twin-tails, grinning mischievously:

"But only ninth-rank peak experts or supreme experts have the chance to create them."

These techniques are named SSR-grade, with a release threshold of at least ninth-rank."

Once released, their power is apocalyptic—they can even transform a vast plain into a depression!"

And more crucially, SSR-grade techniques are custom-made by their creators for themselves."

If other adepts learn them, their released power is only comparable to SSS-grade."

"So powerful?!"

Xu Jingming was internally startled and continued asking:

"What is Lei Shen's SSR-grade technique? Do you have it recorded?"

He possesses the same SS-grade ability as Lei Shen—Dou Tian Shen Lei—if he could obtain this SSR-grade technique,

he might be able to release it perfectly.

"No."

Eva shook her head, "The technology of the First Civilization era was extremely primitive; artificial intelligence remained at a very basic stage."

Thus, preserved records are exceedingly scarce."

The 'Lei Shen Jiang Shi' you've learned is already the strongest technique of Lei Shen that we could find."

"I see." Xu Jingming felt a pang of regret.

Currently, there is only one ninth-rank peak lightning adept on the Blue Planet.

That is Carlisle, from the European Union.

Never mind whether the other party even created an SSR-level combat technique; even if they did, it's highly unlikely they'd let him learn it.

"In my Second Civilization era, there was indeed an ultimate powerhouse who possessed an S-class lightning ability and created an SSR-level combat technique.

But all his secret manuals remain locked within his own secret realm space—we don't have any of them."

Eva helplessly shrugged.

"Another secret realm space?"

Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow. "How many secret realm spaces did your Second Civilization era even create?"

"I never counted them precisely.

After all, we couldn't possibly monitor the movements of the ultimate powerhouse who controlled the SS-class space ability at all times."

Eva shook her head, and the twin green pigtails behind her swayed with the motion:

"But if you add up all the secret realm spaces I know of, they total about one-tenth the land area of Blue Star."

"That big?" Xu Jingming was stunned.

Blue Star's land area is roughly 150 million square kilometers.

One-tenth means a full 15 million square kilometers.

This is an absolutely enormous figure.

"It's not that bad—SS-class space ability is far more insane than you imagine.

If it weren't for the fact that after opening a space, you still need enough earth element to condense into land,

creating another area the size of Blue Star's land wouldn't be too difficult."

Eva giggled.

But Xu Jingming suddenly thought of something: "If there are so many secret realm spaces,

could any of your Second Civilization era's ability users have hidden inside one and survived until now?"

"I don't know."

Eva helplessly shrugged again, whispering softly:

"After the Hope crashed, Mother Host was damaged and couldn't activate; all of us sub-bodies fell into dormancy.

At that time, although humanity had already collapsed, four ultimate powerhouses remained.

As for what those four ultimate powerhouses arranged, we had no knowledge of it."

Pausing, Eva added:

"If any of our Second Civilization era's people really survived inside some secret realm space, it should've been opened long ago."

"True," Xu Jingming nodded, not thinking further.

Yet just then, accompanied by a soft hum—

a space gate slowly materialized in midair over the living room.

Out stepped Ling Shuang, clad in a red long dress, barefoot.

She turned her beautiful large eyes toward him, parted her ruby lips, and asked softly:

"Jingming, are you free tomorrow noon? Come with me to meet a friend."
