Chapter 751: Shocked Zacli! Becoming a Disciple!

In the ruins of civilization, the Zaclis who felt the effect of the "Soul Stabilization" technique were stunned.

It had only been one minute—how could it possibly be perfected?

If this technique weren't uniquely his own, he'd suspect Xu Jingming had learned it beforehand.

"You..."

Zacli opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to phrase it.

You're an electricity-based adept—how is it appropriate for you to learn a mental technique so fast?

After a long while, he regained his composure and nodded with a complex expression:

"Good. You've passed the first trial."

"Here is the A-rank technique 'Device Control' for your second trial—learn it within twelve hours to pass."

Had the applicant been a mental-based adept, his performance in the first trial alone would have been enough for Zacli to accept him and hand over the legacy.

But he was an electricity-based adept—Zacli had to be cautious, and that display had been astonishing.

He needed to confirm whether Xu Jingming had used some special method.

Whoosh—

Mental energy surged, and another mark entered Xu Jingming's mind.

Device Control, a mental A-rank technique.

As the name suggests, once learned, it allows remote manipulation of any object via mental energy.

Without hesitation, Xu Jingming spent 10, 00 adept points to raise it to perfected level.

"So this is Device Control?"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up as he gained vast experiential memories.

Since reaching fifth rank, his mental energy had grown strong enough to levitate small objects.

After entering seventh-rank mid-tier, his mental energy became even stronger, capable of lifting nearly a ton.

For an electricity-based adept, achieving this level of mental energy use was already impressive.

But once he raised Device Control to perfected level, he realized how shallow his previous use of mental energy had been.

Now, he could lift objects weighing one hundred tons with his mental energy!

The control range extended nearly a kilometer!

"If I combine Device Control with a longsword, can I become a Sword Immortal, riding a blade through the air?"

Xu Jingming secretly thrilled at the thought, but then realized it was unrealistic.

Levitating objects drained mental energy excessively—even if he rode a sword, his speed wouldn't be impressive.

He already had the fast-moving Lei Long Wings; flying on a sword was useless except for show.

"It doesn't need to be for flight—it can enhance combat power.

Later, I can get a few alloy throwing knives to test.

With Device Control driving the knives and adding Doushen Divine Thunder, the power would be immense."

Though these were merely trial techniques, the gains from them thrilled Xu Jingming.

He grew even more eager for Zacli's complete mental energy legacy.

"Master, I've learned it."

After waiting another hour, Xu Jingming spoke.

Though he hadn't formally become a disciple, having already learned two techniques from Zacli, calling him "Master" was justified.

"Learned it again?"

Zacli's eyes widened, his face tense yet eager: "Show me."

"Alright."

Xu Jingming nodded and pulled a seventy-ton alloy battle blade from his space ring.

Then he activated "Device Control," unleashing a torrent of mental energy.

The blade levitated into the air, spinning around him at incredible speed.

Speed exceeded one hundred meters per second—terrifying in its might!

"Device Control! It's truly Device Control! And its proficiency is also perfected!"

Zacli stared fixedly at the blade, his face flushed with excitement.

Among mental techniques, there were many similar to levitating objects with mental energy.

But each technique differed in method, with completely distinct mental energy flows.

And the method Xu Jingming used was precisely Zacli's own Device Control!

"In one hour, you've trained my A-rank Device Control to perfected level—what kind of astonishing talent is this?"

If Zacli had still doubted the first B-rank technique,

this second A-rank technique left no doubt—he was unquestionably a mental genius.

No, "genius" was too mild—he was a prodigy beyond comprehension.

One minute for the B-rank, one hour for the A-rank—both perfected.

Even in his own civilization's era, this was unheard of.

"It seems I've passed the second trial too, Master Zacli—proceed to the third trial."

Xu Jingming retracted his mental energy and smiled.

He knew what Zacli was stunned by.

Had he not feared being too shocking, he could have demonstrated perfected level in one second...

"Third trial? No, no, no—you've already qualified."

Zacli shook his head, his eyes glowing with fervent sincerity:

"The original trials only required mastering C, B, and A-rank techniques—S-rank wasn't necessary."

In truth, even if Zacli had wanted to test him with an S-rank technique, it would've been effortless for Xu Jingming.

"I recognize your talent. Now, I ask—are you willing to become my student and receive my legacy?"

After his excitement, Zacli's gaze toward Xu Jingming grew hesitant.

There was no help for it—Xu Jingming's talent was simply too monstrous...

"Disciple Xu Jingming bows before Master Zacli!"

Xu Jingming didn't hesitate—he bowed deeply in the formal ritual of becoming a disciple.

A ninth-rank peak adept—there were few such beings on Blue Star, let alone a mental ninth-rank peak!

Once he received the legacy, his power might grow even further!

At the very least, he'd gain entirely new mental attack methods!

"Good, good, good—I never imagined that after my death, I'd still meet a student this outstanding!"

Zacli's expression was filled with excitement.

After a long moment, he calmed himself and asked with anticipation:

"Which civilization era are you in now? Do you still have ferocious beasts in your age?"

"Third civilization era. Ferocious beasts still exist."

Xu Jingming knew what Zacli hoped for—he shook his head.

Zacli's face darkened as he sighed:

"The first and second civilizations were both destroyed by the Molten Colossus.

Yet humanity never vanished—what on earth does this beast want?

By the way, you know the Molten Colossus, right?"

"I know." Xu Jingming nodded.

In his view, humanity on Blue Star was like leeks—growing after the return of Yuan energy, then harvested when mature.

The Molten Colossus was the scythe—cutting down the crop without severing the roots, allowing harvest after harvest.

Though only the first, second, and current third civilizations were known,

who knew how many prior eras had passed, how many times humanity had been cut down.

As for how the Molten Colossus came to be, or who was playing this harvesting game—he currently lacked the power to investigate.

Perhaps only when he broke through to the Supreme Rank could he uncover the truth.

"I hope your civilization can end the Molten Colossus—otherwise, humanity's future is utter despair."

Zacli shook his head solemnly:

"My mental legacy contains countless techniques—you don't need to learn them all.

After all, you're not a mental-based adept; focus your main efforts on your electricity ability.

But within my legacy, two techniques require your dedicated study:

One is the SSS+ rank 'Soul Domination Seal,' the other is the SSS rank 'Soul Subduing Tower.'

The former can manipulate another's mind, enslaving them at the soul level to serve you eternally.

The latter protects your soul from all mental attacks."

The latter protects your soul from being shaken by other spiritual force attacks.
