Chapter 765: Physique Comparable to an S-Class Enhancement-Type!

April 28, 2: 0 PM.

The sky was gloomy, winds howling fiercely.

Somewhere in the wilderness of Dayangzhou, the massive Lei Jiao Black Monkey King was utterly enraged by Xu Jingming!

"Roar!!"

A deafening roar erupted as brilliant blue lightning surged from the sharp horns on its head, blasting toward Xu Jingming.

Compared to the lightning of the previous seventh-rank Lei Jiao Black Monkey, this lightning was at least five to six times more powerful!

Yet Xu Jingming still chose not to defend—he absorbed the blow with his body alone!

Boom!!

The lightning swallowed Xu Jingming, and for the first time, he felt pain.

The pain was intense, but only at the level of a minor injury—far from causing him serious harm.

Moreover, due to his formidable physique, the sensation of pain was already weakening continuously.

"Is this the elemental attack of an eighth-rank lord-level beast?" Xu Jingming felt disappointed.

He sensed that a lower-tier eighth-rank lord-level beast wasn't nearly as strong as expected.

"Next, let's test your physical resilience!"

Swish—

The halberd in Xu Jingming's hand moved instantly!

A piercing shriek tore through the air as the sharp blade thrust forward, accelerating to a speed that made the air vibrate audibly!

He aimed for the Lei Jiao Black Monkey's head, but it dodged—only striking the neck.

Even so, the blow sent gushing blood spraying from the beast, forcing it to instinctively clamp its massive hand over its neck to stem the flow.

At the same time, its crimson eyes revealed a rare flicker of fear.

It had encountered human psychics before—even killed many.

But never had any human given it such an uncanny feeling!

He radiated only a mid-tier seventh-rank aura, yet he could withstand its lightning and strike so fast it couldn't react.

"Roar—"

A low, guttural growl escaped it; Xu Jingming's strangeness filled it with dread.

Especially those dragon-like vertical pupils—it felt as if it wasn't facing a human at all.

But a top-tier dragon-class beast!

Just as Xu Jingming expected it to launch an attack, the eighth-rank Lei Jiao Black Monkey turned and fled!

"Try to escape? Impossible! Lei Yu!"

Crackling—

Terrifying golden lightning spread outward, forming a prison that trapped both Xu Jingming and the Lei Jiao Black Monkey King together.

Immediately after, Xu Jingming gripped his halberd and charged forward again!

Just one minute later, he had completely slain the Lei Jiao Black Monkey King!

"Ding~~, defeated one lower-tier eighth-rank Lei Jiao Black Monkey, psychic points +10, 00."

The system notification sounded; at Xu Jingming's feet lay the corpse of the Lei Jiao Black Monkey King, its head utterly shattered.

Blood now stained Xu Jingming's Black Soul Battle Suit.

All of it had splattered from the beast—he hadn't lost a single drop of his own blood.

"Lower-tier eighth-rank is still too weak. Next time, try a mid-tier eighth-rank."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Jingming stored the Lei Jiao Black Monkey King's corpse in his space ring and asked Eva:

"Did you collect all the data? What's my current physique strength?"

"Collected."

Eva, the green-haired twin-tailed girl, emerged from her smart bracer, her pale face filled with awe:

"S-class. Your physique strength is equivalent to a top-tier S-class enhancement-type psychic at the same rank!"

In other words, even if Xu Jingming lost his SS-class Dou Tian Divine Thunder, his physique alone would let him tower over most prodigies.

"Top-tier S-class enhancement-type psychic?" Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

This was the result of his high-level physique cultivation technique, combined with absorbing vast amounts of top-tier dragon-class beast blood.

Otherwise, his physique would never have reached this level.

"Keep training the physique technique, absorb divine blood—maybe one day my physique will reach SS-class!"

Xu Jingming mused inwardly, growing even more determined to elevate his SS-class Divine Thunder Indestructible Body to SSS-class.

"During this period, I've fully studied all the SS-class physique techniques I obtained from Teacher Su.

Only one SSS-class physique technique remains to be researched.

Once completed, I might meet the condition to upgrade the physique technique's point allocation to SSS-class.

But before that, I must accumulate enough psychic points."

Zzzt!!

Golden Dou Tian lightning surged forth.

It obliterated the three remaining Lei Jiao Black Monkeys still clinging to life, earning another 17, 00 psychic points.

"Shenlan."

He silently murmured the name, and a pale blue system interface instantly appeared in his mind.

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Rank】: Mid-tier Seventh

【Psychic Ability】: Dou Tian Divine Thunder (SS)

【Physique】: Blood Qi (+)

【Spirit】: He (+)

【Skills】: Spear Technique (Master), Fist Technique (Grandmaster), Slave Heart Seal (SSS-class, Beginner+), Lei Shen Descends (SSS-class, Beginner+)...

【Physique Cultivation】: Divine Thunder Indestructible Body (SS-class, Ninth Layer)

【Spirit Cultivation】: Lei Hai Visualization Method (SSS-class, Fourth Layer)

【Domain】: Lightning Domain (First Layer)

【Psychic Points】: 210, 00

"210, 00 psychic points—but I can't allocate points to anything except skill proficiency."

Xu Jingming frowned.

Beyond rank, the most important were physique cultivation and spirit cultivation.

His physique cultivation had just broken into the ninth layer; reaching the tenth layer required far more psychic points.

In comparison, spirit cultivation required fewer points to upgrade.

Unfortunately, he still didn't have enough to allocate to spirit cultivation.

Keep in mind,

The power of a psychic ability depends on the psychic's rank, physique, and spirit.

But different psychic types still vary slightly.

For example, enhancement-type psychics' power leans toward rank and physique.

Elemental-type psychics' power leans more toward rank and spirit.

Though his physique is formidable, his fundamental power remains the lightning-based Dou Tian Divine Thunder.

His spirit cultivation level must also be upgraded.

"Once I reach Xi's side, if there's no battle on the front line, I'll return to the wilderness."

After a moment of thought, Xu Jingming began gathering loot.

He stored the three seventh-rank Lei Jiao Black Monkeys directly into his space ring.

As for the remaining fifth- and sixth-rank Lei Jiao Black Monkeys, he collected only their most valuable lightning horns.

"I still have nearly seven hours before meeting Xi at 9 PM.

I'll keep hunting beasts, then head toward Nixi's direction in the final hour."

Swish—

Brilliant Lei Long wings unfolded, and Xu Jingming flew toward another beast cluster detected by his Mind Net.
