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

"Su Laoshi, how many SSS-level body cultivation techniques does the Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy 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, Doushen Shenlei, was created by you based on your own physique."

Even if you switch to an SSS-level body cultivation technique, it might not perform better than your Doushen Shenlei due to incompatibility."

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 lower stages, but once you reach higher stages, you'll realize others' secret manuals cannot fully unleash your own potential."

Therefore, all high-level psychics without exception eventually take the path of creating their own combat techniques."

Xu Jingming's Doushen Shenlei, created 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 switching," Xu Jingming smiled calmly. "I want to create an SSS-level body cultivation technique of my own."

"Create one yourself?"

Su Qingli paused, her expression odd: "At fifth stage you created an SS-level body cultivation technique, and now at seventh stage you want to create an SSS-level one?"

No wonder you're you—still as astonishingly confident as ever."

Even a ninth-stage Martial Saint cannot guarantee they can 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 dragged out her voice, muttering under her breath: "I've finally realized—I'm the outsider among the three of us."

Her adorable expression flashed briefly, then Su Qingli quickly returned to her usual sacred demeanor.

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

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

The holographic projection listed five secret manuals in total.

The first one is called 'Lei Ming Liu Li Ti,' an SSS-level body cultivation technique."

The remaining four are SS-level body cultivation techniques, including the Dian Dian Jin Gang Shen that Xu Jingming once referenced."

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

You must not only study SSS-level techniques, but also read extensively from 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 assumed there would be at least several.

"All past masters of Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy followed the Elementalist path."

The combat techniques they collected were all ranged spell techniques or spirit refinement arts; they never seriously studied body cultivation techniques."

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

Su Qingli helplessly shrugged.

Although warriors and elementals are two development paths for psychics,

they actually correspond to Enhancement-type psychics and Element-type psychics.

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

But Element-type psychics 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 final power gained may still be less than that of a single ranged spell technique.

Therefore, most Element-type psychics choose only the elemental path.

"I see. Still, these combat techniques are enough for me to study for a while," Xu Jingming nodded.

Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy's library holdings are public resources; anyone with enough points can borrow them.

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

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

After all, even my own Doushen Shenlei was only submitted for certification and rating—it was never placed in the library."

"Borrowing so many high-level body cultivation techniques at once—won't Hu Jinyu object?" Ling Shuang hesitated.

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

Now her faction has Master Gu Ming as vice-director.

Even if Hu Jinyu has the Li family as his backer, I'm not afraid.

After all, I'm still the director of Lei Ting Martial Arts Academy."

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

Even though Su Qingli is my teacher, I still know when to flatter.

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

"With such a sweet tongue, no wonder Sister Shuang fell for you."

Su Qingli shot him an exasperated look.

Xu Jingming smiled but said nothing.

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

Not lingering any longer, Xu Jingming then headed to the library.

Ling Shuang, on the other hand, stayed on with Su Qingli.

Although her relationship with Xu Jingming was already extraordinary, she wouldn't be clinging to him every moment.

Upon arriving at the library, although the librarian was somewhat shocked by Xu Jingming's access level,

he still brought out all five Body Tempering Arts—combat techniques and Body Tempering Arts above S-rank could not be taken out of the library.

But for Xu Jingming, naturally there was no such restriction...

April 15th, a cloudless day, bright and clear.

At the same time, this day was also the day Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall convened its Hall Master Conference.

Roughly five hundred ability users attended the meeting.

Among them, 376 Hall Masters and Vice Hall Masters came from all over the country, and even from branches in other countries.

The remaining hundred-plus were powerful individuals specially invited by Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall, from the various great family powers, guilds, and legions.

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

To show the importance attached to this conference, conspicuous signs lined both sides of the road leading to the building.

There were also students from the Prodigy Training Camp serving as volunteers, responsible for guiding the way.

After all, quite a few of the branch Hall Masters were visiting headquarters for the first time.

Of course, the volunteers who got to interact with these Hall Masters and Vice Hall Masters weren't just anyone.

They had to be ability users from the Prodigy Training Camp with great strength, or limitless potential.

Getting familiar with these big shots would make things much more convenient after graduating from the training camp and being assigned to other branches of the martial arts hall.

There were 32 volunteers in total, including Lin Hui, who had already reached the peak of Fifth Order and was about to break through to Sixth Order.

"Esteemed Hall Masters, please come this way. Walk another hundred meters ahead and you'll reach the conference building."

By the roadside, Lin Hui greeted the Hall Masters with a smile on his face.

These Hall Masters likewise showed friendly smiles—after all, any one of them might become a colleague someday.

Another ten-plus minutes passed,

when a girl in her early twenties, tall and slender, with a pair of fair, beautiful legs, ran over to Lin Hui in high spirits and asked excitedly:

"Lin Ge, I just heard them say Lei Di is back, and that he's attending the Hall Master conference—is it true?"
