Chapter 682: Divine Blood Secured! 482 Levels Gained!

"How is this possible?!"

"Could Xu Jingming's Lei Ting really be this strong?!"

In an instant, among the five seventh-rank masters across from them, only the two seventh-rank peak masters remained standing.

At this moment, their faces were filled with shock.

They hadn't paid much attention to the Talent Competition, only knowing that this year's competition had produced a legendary genius at age twenty.

But they never expected him to be this ferocious—slaughtering seventh-rank upper-tier masters like slaughtering dogs! And he hadn't even used a close-combat weapon.

Everyone knew that in the Talent Competition, Xu Jingming's close-combat fighting was the most formidable; his elemental techniques were merely secondary!

"Sis Xi, you take the one on the left, I'll take the one on the right."

He dropped those words and didn't wait for Leng Yueqi's response.

Golden Lei Guang flickered; Xu Jingming, wielding the Fangtian Huaji, surged forward like a towering demonic god toward the seventh-rank peak master.

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Li, you two protect Xiao Chan."

Leng Yueqi instructed the two.

After a pause, she added:

"If you see Xu Jingming losing, go help him."

Leng Yuechan, standing nearby, blinked in stunned disbelief.

Holy crap, so I'm just an adopted sister?

When Xu Jingming's in danger, I'm not worth protecting anymore?

"I think he doesn't need our help."

Looking at the terrifyingly massive figure radiating oppressive energy, like an iron tower, Uncle Chen replied with a bitter smile.

A few heavenly thunderbolts could obliterate a seventh-rank upper-tier master.

Honestly, even a seventh-rank peak master on the verge of breaking into eighth rank probably couldn't match that power.

"It's fine, just act according to the situation."

Leng Yueqi nodded slightly.

Her pale, delicate hand flicked; the Chi Lian Sword, wrapped in scorching flames like a whip, encircled her body.

"Fire Sparrow Step!"

With a sharp cry, Leng Yueqi's graceful form flickered and darted toward the other seventh-rank peak master.

"Xu Jingming! We take it back!

We don't want the Divine Blood anymore—just let us go!"

Given Xu Jingming's terrifying display,

the two seventh-rank peak masters could no longer hold their nerve and shouted out.

"Want to back out?"

Xu Jingming's face twisted into a Wanrufan Sect-like sneer: "It's too late!"

If they were two Daxia nationals, he might have considered letting them go.

But these two—one white, one black—killing them was no loss.

"Die! Lei Yu!"

Crackling—

A deep thunder rumbled as brilliant golden Lei Ting bloomed like a flower, engulfing the white man.

Then, violent electric strikes!!

"Roar!!"

Seeing pleading was useless, the white man let out a bestial roar like a savage beast and activated his enhancement-type ability.

His entire body sprouted thick fur, wrapping him like a lion.

Yet the pain from the lightning striking him still darkened his expression.

He wore an SS-class battle suit, reinforced by his fur—enough to drastically reduce the lightning's power.

But now, he felt a piercing pain deep into his bones!

And this was only a restriction technique—not even an offensive one; the damage was merely incidental.

"No more hesitation!"

The white man gritted his teeth and swallowed a seventh-rank Blood-Explosion Pill.

Boom!!

His eyes turned blood-red; his aura surged dramatically.

He broke through the Lei Yu's confinement, enduring the lightning damage head-on.

Before he could flee, the towering figure of Xu Jingming loomed before him!

Swish—

The Fangtian Huaji, brimming with golden Lei Guang, slashed down with violent force!

The white man's face turned pale; he gripped his battle blade with both hands and raised it horizontally to block.

Clang!

With a deafening crash, the blade blocked the strike.

But both his arms erupted into misty blood, instantly going limp.

"How is this possible?!" The white man's pupils shrank to pinpoints.

Just one strike—and his arms were ruined!

How could the power in this Fangtian Huaji be so overwhelming?!

"No! The gap is too big—we can't fight!"

Blood qi circulated, and the white man's arms rapidly regenerated.

But he had no intention of continuing the fight—he turned and fled!

"You can't escape!"

A bloodthirsty voice rang out; behind Xu Jingming, the Thunder Dragon Wings unfolded, and he chased after him directly.

On the other side, Leng Yuexi, while fighting the black man, also kept part of her attention on Xu Jingming's side.

Seeing Xu Jingming completely overpowering his opponent, she relaxed and focused fully on the black man.

Just two minutes later, both of these seventh-rank peak masters were slain by Xu Jingming and Leng Yuexi respectively.

"Sis Xi, the white man's space ring is mine; the black man's space ring is yours."

Xu Jingming flapped his Thunder Dragon Wings and slowly descended from the sky.

Although the white man's strength wasn't strong, his escape techniques were well-honed.

He chased him nearly a kilometer before finally killing him and claiming the space ring.

"What about these three?"

Leng Yuexi pointed to the three seventh-rank upper-level masters nearby.

One must admit, enhancement-type adepts truly had immense vitality.

Without the damage from Lei Ting, aside from the dead elemental master.

The remaining two had recovered from critical, near-death wounds to ordinary serious injuries.

"The divine blood is mine; the space ring is yours."

Sssssch!

Golden thunder erupted out of nowhere, instantly engulfing both men and ending their lives.

Leng Yuexi showed no trace of hesitation upon seeing this.

Life-and-death enemies—at this point, there was no way he could let them leave; otherwise he'd only be making trouble for himself.

After all, a hidden seventh-rank upper-level master is like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows—no one knows how much damage they might ultimately inflict.

All enemies had been slain; finally, the much-anticipated moment of collecting spoils arrived.

First, the space rings of those individuals.

Xu Jingming didn't examine the other items in detail, but the divine blood alone totaled a full 56 liters!

Of it, 23 liters came from the Thunder Lightning Dragon King, and 33 liters from the Flame Giant Eagle.

Additionally, all divine blood collected from the ground totaled 245.5 liters.

Among it, the Thunder Lightning Dragon King's divine blood reached an astonishing 123.7 liters!

"Sis Xi, the Thunder Lightning Dragon King's divine blood is of great use to me.

How about this: I take all of this divine blood.

In return, I give you all the Flame Giant Eagle divine blood I have, and you give me all the Thunder Lightning Dragon King divine blood you have."

After organizing the total quantity of divine blood, Xu Jingming proposed.

Leng Yuexi was an elemental fire adept who followed the close-combat warrior path.

The Flame Giant Eagle's divine blood should also be of great use to her.

"No problem."

Leng Yuexi replied with a radiant smile:

"Including what I took from the black man, I have a total of 24.4 liters of the Thunder Lightning Dragon King's divine blood."

After all, she was a seventh-rank mid-level S-class awakened adept; after Xu Jingming snatched the divine blood from her yesterday, she had gathered quite a bit elsewhere.

Saying this, she handed him a space ring: "All the divine blood is inside."

"Perfect!"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up.

With this, the total Thunder Lightning Dragon King divine blood he now possessed reached a terrifying 482 liters!

The Flame Giant Eagle's divine blood, by contrast, was far less—only 134 liters.

Xu Jingming directly transferred all these divine bloods into a vacant space ring and handed it to Leng Yuexi.

"The Flame Giant Eagle's divine blood is this much?"

Leng Yuexi, sensing the quantity within the space ring, glanced at Xu Jingming with surprise in her beautiful eyes.

At this moment, Xu Jingming had not yet exited Thunderstorm State; though Leng Yuexi was tall, her head reached only slightly below his abdomen.

To look at him, she had to tilt her head upward.

As Xu Jingming looked down upon hearing her, he took in her perfect figure, fully encased in her battle suit.

Her body was exquisitely proportioned, with graceful curves.

Especially the two full mounds on her chest—extremely eye-catching—causing Xu Jingming's blood qi to churn violently, already amplified by Thunderstorm State.

"Hm?"

Frowning, he exited Thunderstorm State—and only then did he feel the agitation subside considerably.
