Chapter 714

"Spirit Yuanzhu?" Xu Jingming frowned.

At the eighth-rank Grand Master level, Ling Shuang couldn't possibly have had a random, meaningless dream.

And this dream had such clear directionality.

"I suspect it's related to the Nine-Vulture Phoenix Hairpin you obtained—it might truly be a hint from the Empty God, urging you to accept his legacy."

After a moment of silence, Xu Jingming took out the smart armband stored in his space ring and pressed the power button.

"S-class! Why did you forcibly shut me down again!"

Eva's holographic projection emerged from the smart armband, pouting her little face and demanding angrily.

Last night, after playing the video, she was ready to continue watching the live stream.

But Xu Jingming forcibly shut her down and tossed her into the space ring.

"You're still young—you should avoid viewing inappropriate content," Xu Jingming replied seriously.

Ling Shuang, nestled in his arms, burst into laughter, shaking with mirth, the scene brimming with springtime charm.

If one truly considered age, Eva, who had existed since the Second Civilization Era, could easily be Xu Jingming's great-great-grandmother.

"Enough joking. Eva, do you know what a Spirit Yuanzhu is?"

Xu Jingming asked.

"Spirit Yuanzhu? S-class—how on earth do you even know about this thing?"

Eva, who had been pouting moments ago, was suddenly startled, forgetting her anger entirely.

"It's from Ling Teacher's dream," Xu Jingming recounted Ling Shuang's words.

"The Empty God's legacy—there is indeed such a possibility."

Eva replied, thinking.

Then she waved her right hand, and a holographic projection of a pearl, the size of a ping-pong ball, appeared before them.

The pearl was engraved with a landscape painting: sky and white clouds above, a lush forest below.

But unlike ordinary landscape paintings, the image on the pearl constantly flowed, as if it were a living world.

"Was the Spirit Yuanzhu you saw in your dream like this?" Eva asked Ling Shuang.

"Yes," Ling Shuang nodded.

"Then it's confirmed," said Eva, the green-haired twin-tailed little girl shaking her head. "No one can dream of something they've never seen, let alone match both name and appearance exactly.

Your dream last night was likely a spiritual hint left by the Nine-Vulture Phoenix Hairpin.

As for the Spirit Yuanzhu—it's a perfect-grade spatial element weapon.

It's the Empty God's exclusive element weapon, containing an internal realm of approximately three million square kilometers.

If you can find this Spirit Yuanzhu, you'll likely obtain the Empty God's legacy.

"Three million square kilometers of internal realm?" Xu Jingming and Ling Shuang both froze.

Realm spaces were immobile—they could only be entered by reaching a designated location and activating them.

But the Empty God's Spirit Yuanzhu was different—it could be carried on one's person!

In other words, it was a space ring with a capacity of three million square kilometers!

Equivalent to carrying a whole landmass around, capable of storing living beings inside.

"The Empty God senior... isn't that just too overpowered?" Ling Shuang muttered under her breath.

As an S-class spatial ability user herself, she couldn't even imagine how the Empty God had crafted the Spirit Yuanzhu.

"In your dream, did the spiritual residue left by the Empty God indicate the Spirit Yuanzhu's location?" Eva continued.

"Yes—roughly in the northeast direction."

Ling Shuang replied, "And I have a feeling—if the Spirit Yuanzhu appears within a certain range, I'll be able to sense it."

"Then Ling Teacher, you should focus your search in that direction. Once you obtain the Empty God's legacy, you'll soar beyond measure."

"It seems that, Professor Ling, you should explore this direction in the future; once you obtain the Empty God inheritance, you will soar to new heights."

Unlike the First Era Lei Shen legacy Xu Jingming obtained, this was a complete legacy left by a supreme powerhouse!

Once Ling Shuang acquires the Spirit Yuanzhu, even Eva can't predict how far she will rise.

"It's not that simple," Ling Shuang shook her head. "The northeast region of Dayangzhou contains at least forty or fifty countries.

Searching through them all would be too difficult. I'll only begin looking once I reach the ninth rank."

Only at the ninth rank could one truly be considered part of the top tier of Blue Star combat power.

At that point, even if she encountered danger, she could use her spatial ability to escape safely.

Only at the ninth tier can one truly be considered part of Blue Star's top-tier combat force.

Simply receiving a rumor of a supreme legacy was already absurdly lucky…

After waking, Xu Jingming didn't linger with Ling Shuang. He dressed in his training suit and headed to the training room.

Starting today, he would guide Ling Shuang in practicing the SSS-grade spirit-refining technique, "Lei Hai Contemplation Method."

Of course, he didn't slack off on his own training.

He let Ling Shuang study on her own, pausing every half-hour to answer her questions.

This continued until past four in the afternoon.

Ling Shuang suddenly received a message, then told Xu Jingming:

"The director has returned from the Wild Zone—he wants us to meet in the virtual space now."

Yesterday, Ling Shuang had already left a message for Su Qingli in the virtual world, asking her to contact her immediately after leaving the Wild Zone.

"The Guanzhu has returned from the Wild Zone and has ordered us to enter the virtual space now."

Xu Jingming nodded, took out his neural helmet from the space ring, and entered the virtual world with Ling Shuang.

As soon as they entered, they received a teleport invitation from Su Qingli.

After accepting, the scene blurred—when they regained their senses, they were inside Su Qingli's villa living room.

Su Qingli sat on the sofa, wearing a long green dress that accentuated her tall, slender figure.

She looked like a celestial immortal from legend, radiating an ethereal aura.

Her exquisitely sacred and noble features inspired not the slightest hint of disrespect.

"Su Teacher," Xu Jingming bowed respectfully.

"Jingming, it's been a long time," Su Qingli smiled gently.

Since Xu Jingming went to Dayangzhou, she had only contacted him a few times by phone.

This was their first meeting in the virtual space.

It wasn't that she was an irresponsible teacher—Xu Jingming was simply too self-disciplined; she rarely needed to guide him.

"Ling Shuang, why did you leave me a message?" Su Qingli turned her gaze to Ling Shuang.

Unlike with Xu Jingming, she frequently communicated with Ling Shuang, her close friend.

They often met in the virtual space to exchange intelligence and updates on Liu Shan's power grab.

"You don't know yet?" Ling Shuang was surprised.

Logically, news of Xu Jingming killing Feng Kuan should have reached the mainland over a day ago.

But she quickly realized—Liu Shan must have suppressed the news.

So she spoke directly: "Yesterday, Xu Jingming killed the deputy director here, Feng Kuan…"

But she quickly realized that Liu Shan must have sealed the news beforehand.

Su Qingli, who had been relaxed moments before, nearly lost her composure at the first words.

Xu Jingming killed the deputy director? Did I hear that right?

Feng Kuan was an eighth-rank lower Grand Master—when did Xu Jingming become this strong?

Did Xu Jingming kill the deputy director? Did I hear that right?

Feng Kuan is a Lower Eighth-Rank Grand Master—when did Xu Jingming become this strong?
