Chapter 762: Feeling a Little Superfluous! Leng Yuexi

Virtual world, arena.

Xu Jingming was surrounded by crackling lightning, having tested the Thunder Sword Array technique over a thousand times!

"S-rank, the Thunder Sword Array's power has increased by approximately 0.54%—it can now be rated S+."

After another attack, Eva, tiny as a sprite, appeared on Xu Jingming's shoulder.

She sat lightly upon it, her pale, delicate feet swaying gently in contentment.

"Reached S+ rank? That should be sufficient."

Swish—

The eighteen golden blades retracted entirely, hovering silently behind Xu Jingming.

The S+ Thunder Sword Array was nearly the limit of what he could currently achieve.

To push it further to SS-rank without using the system, he would need to study even more techniques.

"Let's go—back to the real world to forge the blades."

As Xu Jingming was about to exit the virtual world, Eva on his shoulder suddenly spoke:

"Half an hour ago, Leng Yuexi sent you a teleport invitation.

I saw you testing your technique, so I didn't disturb you—do you want to go now?"

"Sister Xi is looking for me?"

Since their parting in the Wild Zone while searching for the Divine Blood, Xu Jingming had not contacted Leng Yuexi again.

He never expected her to reach out now.

"Accept the teleport," Xu Jingming nodded.

"Yes!"

The teleport invitation sent half an hour ago likely expired, since Leng Yuexi was not in the virtual world.

He would need to notify her again; she must log back in before another teleport could be initiated.

Yet the moment Xu Jingming chose to teleport, he vanished from his spot almost instantly.

This meant Leng Yuexi had been waiting all along—she had never left the virtual world.

Swish—

In the living room of a luxurious villa, Xu Jingming's figure slowly materialized.

A single glance took in the entire scene around him.

In the living room were not only Leng Yuexi but also Leng Yuchan.

The two sisters resembled each other by seven or eight tenths, yet their temperaments were entirely different.

The elder sister, Leng Yuexi, was cold and haughty, clad in a fitted green long dress that accentuated her slender figure.

Beside her, the younger sister, Leng Yuchan, was mischievous and playful, dressed in a summer casual outfit.

Her upper body was fully developed, and beneath her denim shorts, her pale, beautiful legs were straight and elongated.

"Jingming, you're here?"

Sensing Xu Jingming's arrival, Leng Yuexi, who had been meditating with closed eyes, immediately opened them.

In her clear, autumn-water eyes, a faint hint of delight lingered.

"It's been a few days—I feel Sister Xi has grown even stronger." Xu Jingming smiled.

Though this was the virtual world, compared to their last meeting in the Wild Zone,

Leng Yuexi's aura was distinctly different—sharper, hotter.

"It's all thanks to the fire-element Divine Blood you gave me."

Leng Yuexi smiled warmly, her expression dazzling: "Over two hundred liters of Divine Blood pushed my Body Tempering technique to the next level."

Absorbing that much Divine Blood could turn even a pig into a top-tier ferocious beast.

Not to mention Leng Yuexi was already gifted.

Back in the Wild Zone, with her S-rank elemental fire ability, she could barely hold her own against an eighth-rank lower-tier Weida Master.

After absorbing the Divine Blood, her physique was greatly strengthened—she could now easily defeat an eighth-rank lower-tier Weida Master.

If she hadn't shared some of the Divine Blood with her sister Leng Yuchan, her physique would have improved even more.

"By the way, I almost forgot to congratulate you."

Leng Yuexi pursed her red lips, a bright smile spreading across her mouth:

"Congratulations on breaking through to seventh-rank Master and becoming Deputy Director of the Lei Ting Martial Arts Branch in Mo Ben.

When I saw this news a few days ago, I thought I'd misread it.

Your breakthrough speed is just too fast."

"Just luck—I happened to break through," Xu Jingming smiled.

If Leng Yuexi knew he had already broken through to seventh-rank mid-tier, she'd be even more shocked.

"Luck? If I had half your luck, I wouldn't have only just broken through to seventh-rank mid-tier at my age."

"At your age? Sister Xi, don't be modest—seventh-rank mid-tier Masters your age are rare across all of Daya."

"Really? Compared to you, a twenty-year-old seventh-rank SS-rank Master, I feel I have nothing to be proud of."

"..."

Beside them, watching the two converse cheerfully, Leng Yuchan suddenly felt as if she were somewhat superfluous.

And...

Leng Yuchan stared at the smile on her sister Leng Yuexi's face—the one that hadn't faded since seeing Xu Jingming—and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Was this really her cold, elegant sister? How had she changed so much?

After all, she had never shown such warmth toward any other man before.

"By the way, Jingming, are you still in Daya?"

After chatting for about ten minutes, Leng Yuexi finally ended the small talk, reluctant but turning to the real matter.

"No, I've already returned to Moben."

Xu Jingming smiled. "Looks like Sister Xi has something to ask me?"

"I do need your help."

Leng Yuexi didn't beat around the bush. "I want to invite you to come to Nixi and join me in a competition."

"A competition?" Xu Jingming looked at her, puzzled.

"It's like this—my father is the chairman of the Spirit Fox Guild. Previously, he..."

Leng Yuexi briefly recounted the entire incident.

"Tianming Sect? I didn't expect they'd also move against your Spirit Fox Guild."

Xu Jingming's eyes flickered, his voice cold.

One day, he would uproot that disgusting cult entirely.

"The competition my father proposed is best of five. We can't even gather five eighth-rank Grand Masters."

So we're asking you, Brother Jingming, to lend us a hand. Also, why do you only call me 'sister' and not her?"

At that moment, Leng Yuechan finally found her chance to interject, arms crossed, muttering discontentedly.

After all, she had graduated from the Magu City Psychic University—she was Xu Jingming's senior.

Yet every time, Xu Jingming showed her no proper respect.

"Huh? So Little Chan is here too? Sorry, I didn't notice just now."

Xu Jingming feigned surprise. "Besides, you're nowhere near as mature as your sister."

In my eyes, you're as naive as an eighteen-year-old Gao Zhongsheng who just graduated."

So 'Little Chan' is the perfect name for you."

"Gao Zhongsheng?"

Leng Yuechan's eyes widened, her silver teeth clenched. "You're really impolite!"

"So what if I'm impolite? Are you going to eat me?"

Xu Jingming raised his sword-like eyebrows. "Don't forget how you were caught by me back in Myanmar."

Back then, I was only fifth-rank."

Now I'm already a seventh-rank Master Zongshi."

I don't even need to move—just releasing my aura would be more than you can bear."

At these words, Leng Yuechan, who had moments ago been fierce and baring her little fangs, instantly deflated.

Because she knew Xu Jingming was right...

"Enough, stop fooling around."

Leng Yuexi shot Leng Yuechan a glare, then turned her beautiful eyes to Xu Jingming.

"So? Will you accept the invitation and help us in this competition?"

Whether you win or lose, you can take one SS-class resource from the Spirit Fox Guild's treasure vault."

If you win, you can take two—and you'll also receive 3% of the Spirit Fox Guild's shares."

She originally held 1% of the Spirit Fox Guild's shares, and an hour ago, her father gave her another 23.8%.

She now held a total of 24.8% of the Spirit Fox Guild's shares.

Nearly a quarter ownership—taking one SS-class resource from the vault was no problem at all.
