Chapter 751: Shocked Zackli! Becoming a Disciple!

In the ruins of civilization, the Zacklies who sensed the effect of the "Calming Spirit" combat technique were stunned.

It had only been one minute since the start—how could it possibly be perfected already?

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

"You..."

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

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

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

"Good, you've passed the first trial."

Here is the A-rank combat technique "Weapon Mastery" for the second trial—learn it within twelve hours, and you pass."

Had the applicant been a mental-based psychic, based solely on this first trial's performance, he would have already accepted Xu Jingming and handed over his legacy.

But the applicant was an electricity-based psychic—he had to be cautious, and that display had been utterly 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.

Weapon Mastery, A-rank mental combat technique.

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

Without hesitation, Xu Jingming spent 10,000 psychic points to raise it to perfected level.

"This is Weapon Mastery?"

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 psychic, achieving this level of mental energy application was already quite impressive.

But after raising Weapon Mastery to perfected level, he realized how shallow his previous use of mental energy had been.

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

The control range extended to nearly one kilometer!

"If I combine Weapon Mastery with a longsword, can I become a Sword Immortal, riding a sword through the sky?"

Xu Jingming secretly thrilled at the thought, but then reconsidered—it wasn't realistic.

Lifting objects drained too much mental energy; even if he rode a sword, the speed wouldn't be impressive.

He already had the fast Thunder Dragon Wings—riding a sword offered almost no practical benefit beyond showing off.

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

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

Using Weapon Mastery to launch them, combined with Doushen Shenlei, the power would be tremendous."

Though merely a trial technique, the gains from it had left Xu Jingming exhilarated.

He grew even more eager for Zackli'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 Zackli, calling him "Master" was justified.

"Learned it again?"

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

"Alright."

Nodding, Xu Jingming pulled a seventy-ton alloy battle blade from his space ring.

Then he activated "Weapon Mastery," and his mental energy surged violently.

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

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

"Weapon Mastery! It's truly Weapon Mastery! And its proficiency has also reached perfected level!"

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

Among mental combat techniques, there were many similar ones involving mental energy to lift objects.

But each technique differed in its own way, with completely distinct mental energy flow patterns.

And the method Xu Jingming used was precisely the one he had taught—Weapon Mastery!

"In one hour, you've cultivated my A-rank Weapon Mastery to perfected level! What kind of astonishing talent is this?"

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

this second A-rank technique left him utterly convinced—this was unquestionably a mental genius.

No, "genius" wasn't enough—it was a prodigy beyond comprehension!

One minute and one hour—perfecting B-rank and A-rank techniques respectively.

Even in his own civilization's golden age, this had never been heard of!

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

Xu Jingming retracted his mental energy and smiled.

He knew what Zackli was stunned by.

Had he not feared being too shocking, he could have demonstrated perfecting a technique in one second...

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

Zachary shook his head, his eyes faintly burning as he spoke frankly:

"The original exam only required mastering C-class, B-class, and A-class combat techniques—there was no need to master an S-class technique."

In fact, even if Zachary wanted to test him, it would be nothing more than a trivial addition for Xu Jingming.

"I acknowledge your talent. I just don't know if you're willing to become my student and receive my legacy."

After the surge of emotion, Zachary's gaze toward Xu Jingming grew hesitant.

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

"Disciple Xu Jingming, pays homage to Master Zachary!"

Xu Jingming offered no hesitation, bowing deeply in the teacher's salute.

A ninth-rank peak psychic—there aren't many of them on the entire Blue Star, let alone a ninth-rank peak mentalist!

Once he receives the legacy, his power may grow even stronger!

At the very least, he'll gain mastery over entirely new mental attack methods!

"Good, good, good! I never expected that after my death, I'd still encounter a student this outstanding!"

Zachary's expression was filled with excitement.

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

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

"The third civilization era. Ferocious beasts still exist."

Xu Jingming knew exactly what Zachary was hoping for, and shook his head.

At this, Zachary's face darkened, and he sighed:

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

Yet humanity never went extinct—I can't fathom what these ferocious beasts truly want."

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

"I know." Xu Jingming nodded.

In his view, humanity on the Blue Star was like chives—

growing after the resurgence of Yuan energy, then cut down once mature.

The Molten Colossus was the scythe, harvesting without severing the roots, allowing crop after crop to be reaped.

Though currently, only the first, second, and now the third civilization eras are known.

But who knows how many prior eras have passed, how many times humanity has been cut down.

As for how the Molten Colossus came to be, or who is playing this chive-harvesting game—he currently lacks the ability to explore such truths.

Only when he breaks through to the Supreme Power might he uncover related clues.

"I hope your civilization era can end the Molten Colossus—otherwise, humanity faces nothing but endless despair."

Shaking his head, Zachary grew solemn:

"My mentalist legacy contains an immense number of combat techniques—you don't need to learn them all."

After all, you're not a mentalist—focus your main efforts on your lightning ability."

Yet within my legacy system, two techniques require your careful study."

One is the SSS+ rank 'Soul Slave Seal'; the other is the SSS rank 'Soul Subduing Tower.'

The former can manipulate another's mind, turning them into your servant at the soul level, eternally loyal.

The latter protects your soul from being shaken by other mental attacks."
