Chapter 719: SSS-Level Body Cultivation Technique! Borrow All!

"Teacher Su, how many SSS-level body cultivation techniques does the Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym's library have?"

At Su Qingli's villa, after dinner, Xu Jingming asked Su Qingli.

"You want to switch to an SSS-level body cultivation technique?"

Ling Shuang frowned slightly and spoke softly: "Body cultivation techniques aren't better just because they're higher ranked; the best one is the one that suits you."

The SS+ level body cultivation technique you're currently practicing, Divine Thunder Indestructible Body, was created by you based on your own physique.

Even if you switch to an SSS-level technique, it might not perform better than your Divine Thunder Indestructible Body due to mismatched compatibility."

Whether it's combat techniques, body cultivation techniques, or spirit refinement techniques, someone else's will always remain someone else's.

They may work fine at low ranks, but once you reach high ranks, you'll realize others' secret manuals can't fully unlock your true power.

Therefore, all high-rank adepts without exception eventually walk the path of creating their own combat techniques.

Xu Jingming's Divine Thunder Indestructible Body, crafted according to his own physique, was rated at the astonishing SS+ level.

There's absolutely no need to switch to someone else's SSS-level body cultivation technique.

"Not to switch," Xu Jingming smiled, speaking calmly. "I want to create an SSS-level body cultivation technique of my own."

"Create it yourself?"

Su Qingli paused, her expression peculiar. "At fifth rank you created an SS-level body cultivation technique, and now at seventh rank you're aiming for an SSS-level one.

No wonder it's you—always as astonishingly confident as ever."

Even a ninth-rank Martial Saint cannot claim they can definitely create an SSS-level body cultivation technique.

"Qingli, since Jingming wants them, give them to him."

Ling Shuang interjected gently.

"Yes yes yes, I'll do whatever Sister Shuang says."

Su Qingli deliberately dragged out her words, muttering under her breath, "I've finally realized—I'm the outsider among the three of us."

Her adorable expression flashed briefly, then she quickly resumed her usual sacred demeanor.

With a graceful wave of her jade hand, a holographic projection appeared before them.

"All of Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym's high-level lightning-based body cultivation techniques are here."

The holographic projection listed five secret manuals in total.

The first one is called Thunder Roar Glass Body, an SSS-level body cultivation technique.

The remaining four are SS-level techniques, including the Divine Thunder Diamond Body, which Xu Jingming had previously studied.

Creating an SSS-level body cultivation technique isn't simple.

You must not only study SSS-level techniques, but also extensively read SS-level ones.

I've granted you access to all five of these combat technique manuals—you may borrow them from the library."

Su Qingli said.

"Only one SSS-level body cultivation technique?"

Xu Jingming frowned; he had expected at least several.

"All past directors of Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym followed the Elementalist path.

The combat techniques they collected were all ranged spell techniques or spirit refinement arts—hardly any research went into body cultivation.

Even this one SSS-level technique was excavated from an ancient civilization ruin."

Su Qingli shrugged helplessly.

Though warriors and elementals are two development paths for adepts,

they essentially correspond to Enhancement-type and Elemental-type adepts.

The difference is, most Enhancement-type adepts can only become warriors.

But Elemental-type adepts can choose either path—warrior or elemental.

Of course, if an elemental chooses the warrior path,

they must spend vast amounts of time cultivating body techniques, and the power gained may still fall short of a single ranged spell technique.

Thus, most elemental adepts stick solely to the elemental path.

"I see. Still, these combat techniques will keep me busy studying for a while," Xu Jingming nodded.

Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym's library holdings are public resources; anyone with sufficient points may borrow them.

Core secret manuals like body cultivation techniques are usually taught only to one's own students.

They're never opened to the public unless one is desperately short on points.

After all, even his own Divine Thunder Indestructible Body was only submitted for certification and rating—it was never placed in the library.

"Will Hu Jinyu object to you borrowing so many high-level body cultivation techniques at once?" Ling Shuang hesitated.

"Don't worry about him," Su Qingli said coolly.

Her faction now has the former deputy director of Gu Ming as an ally.

Even if Hu Jinyu has the Li family as backing, she isn't afraid.

After all, she is still the director of Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym.

"No wonder you're Teacher Su! So commanding!" Xu Jingming immediately gave a thumbs-up.

Though Su Qingli is his teacher, he still knows when to flatter.

Otherwise, he'd have spent ages tracking down these high-level lightning body cultivation techniques.

"So sweet-tongued—was that how you won over Sister Shuang?"

Su Qingli shot him a look of mock annoyance.

Xu Jingming smiled but said nothing.

If he said it was actually Ling Shuang who pursued him, Su Qingli probably wouldn't believe him...

Without lingering further, Xu Jingming headed straight to the library.

Ling Shuang remained at Su Qingli's side.

Though their relationship had grown far beyond ordinary bounds, they didn't cling to each other constantly.

At the library, though the librarian was stunned by Xu Jingming's access rights,

he still retrieved all five body cultivation techniques—combat and body techniques above S-level cannot be taken out of the library.

But for Xu Jingming, of course, this restriction didn't apply...

April 15th, the sky was clear and cloudless.

It was also the day Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym held its Director's Meeting.

Around five hundred adepts attended the meeting.

Among them, 376 were directors and deputy directors from branches across the nation and even overseas.

The remaining hundred or so were elite warriors invited from major families, guilds, and military legions.

The meeting was held in Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym's most luxurious standalone conference building.

To show the importance of this gathering, prominent signs lined the road leading to the building.

Students from the Heavenly Prodigy Training Camp served as volunteers to guide guests.

After all, many branch directors were visiting the headquarters for the first time.

Of course, not just anyone could serve as a volunteer to interact with these directors and deputy directors.

One had to be either exceptionally powerful or possessing immense potential within the Training Camp.

Getting to know these big figures would make future assignments to other branches far easier after graduation.

There were thirty-two volunteers total, including Lin Hui, who had reached peak fifth rank and was about to break into sixth.

"Directors, this way, please. Walk another hundred meters and you'll reach the conference building."

Beside the road, Lin Hui greeted the directors with a smile.

The directors returned warm smiles in kind—after all, they might become colleagues someday.

After another ten minutes,

a tall, slender girl with fair, beautiful legs excitedly ran over to Lin Hui and asked eagerly:

"Brother Lin, I just heard they said Lei Di has returned—and will attend the Director's Meeting. Is that true?"
