Chapter 770: Leng Shu

"Studying body cultivation techniques?"

Leng Yuexi's eyes lit up, and she immediately became interested: "Can I join you? I've done quite a bit of research in body cultivation techniques."

"Though not as good as you, I once created an S-rank body cultivation technique."

Back in the Burmese wilderness, Xu Jingming had created an SS-rank body cultivation technique right away—it had shocked her completely.

As a fire-element martial artist, she had always been confident in her own talent.

But after meeting Xu Jingming, she realized true prodigies were truly monstrous!

"Of course, if the body cultivation technique manual isn't suitable for outsiders to view, just ignore what I said."

To prevent misunderstanding, Leng Yuexi added another sentence.

"There's nothing secret about it. You can stay and study with me, Sister Xi."

Xu Jingming smiled.

He had no clear ideas himself; with Leng Yuexi here, she might offer some good suggestions.

As for the manual being seen—it wasn't an issue, just one night.

Leng Yuexi didn't have a system; she couldn't learn it anyway.

All night, Xu Jingming stayed in the training ground, studying body cultivation techniques with Leng Yuexi.

Compared to his teacher Yang Zhentian, Leng Yuexi's experience might not be as extensive.

But her mother was American, and she had trained in the U. S. for several years.

Her completely different understanding of body cultivation techniques, compared to Daxia's, greatly benefited Xu Jingming.

The next day, at 6 a. m., as dawn just broke.

Xu Jingming left Leng Yuexi's villa, preparing to head back to the wilderness.

"I never expected American body cultivation techniques to differ so much from Daxia's."

"When I have time, I should go to the U. S. and bring back more combat technique manuals."

As he walked out of the villa, Xu Jingming thought silently.

The more solid his knowledge, the stronger the combat techniques evolved by his system would become.

He dared not be careless with his SSS-rank body cultivation technique.

"Mr. Xu, correct? My Young Master wishes to meet you. Do you have time?"

At that moment, a man in a suit hurried over from nearby and asked respectfully.

"Young Master?"

Xu Jingming looked at him in confusion, then suddenly understood: "Leng Shu of the Spirit Fox Guild?"

"That's right."

The man in the suit nodded with a smile: "My Young Master knew you'd come to the Spirit Fox Guild yesterday."

"But the timing wasn't right then, so he told me to wait here for you."

"You've got good intel."

After a moment's thought, Xu Jingming nodded: "Alright, lead the way."

Leng Shu coming to him now could only mean one thing.

Either he wanted Xu Jingming to stay out of the Spirit Fox Guild's affairs, or he wanted to recruit him directly.

He had originally planned to refuse outright, but Leng Shu might use this tactic against other supporters of Leng Yuexi.

So he agreed—to see what the situation was first.

Afterward, he could warn Leng Yuexi.

The Spirit Fox Guild owned an entire estate, complete with leisure and entertainment facilities.

Under the suit-wearing man's guidance, Xu Jingming arrived at a leisure bathhouse called Muguang.

Inside one of the suites, he met Leng Shu.

"Xu Jingming! Daxia's S-rank prodigy! I've heard so much about you—meeting you in person, Brother Xu, you truly have an extraordinary aura."

As soon as he entered, Leng Shu warmly greeted him.

As a mixed-blood of Daxia and Bear Nation, he knew how to adapt his words to whoever he met.

To Daxians, he spoke as a compatriot; to Bear Nation people, he spoke as a compatriot too.

It was indeed an effective way to quickly build rapport.

In recent years, as he settled into the Nixi headquarters, he'd increasingly adopted his Daxian identity.

Just like now.

"You may leave. I'll call you if I need you." Leng Shu ordered the man in the suit.

The man bowed respectfully and withdrew; Xu Jingming was then seated on a sofa.

"Since the Heavenly Talent Competition, I've heard your name, Brother Xu."

"I never expected my sister Xi had this connection to bring you here."

Leng Shu chuckled, "So, Brother Xu, are you here just for fun, or is there another purpose?"

He had already investigated Xu Jingming's identity yesterday—he was indeed an honorary director of the Spirit Fox Guild.

But he still needed to confirm Xu Jingming's true purpose here.

Otherwise, a misunderstanding would be embarrassing.

"I'm helping Leng Yuexi compete." Xu Jingming didn't hide it; he said it directly.

"I thought so."

Leng Shu's eyes narrowed. "Since Brother Xu is so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush.

I'll offer you 2% of the Spirit Fox Guild's shares, plus an S-rank cultivation resource.

"Brother Xu, come over and help me. Don't go help Leng Yuexi."

"Also, these women are all yours..."

After speaking, he clapped his hands again.

Immediately, four enchanting women walked out from the partitioned room beside them.

These four women were wearing only thin gauze garments; beneath the gauze, Bai Xi's plump figure was faintly visible, looking very alluring.

"These are all fifth-rank ability users of the Enhancement system. Although their ability ranks are a bit low, only B-rank and C-rank.

But the advantage is their physiques are powerful, so they won't be ruined in one go.

If Brother Xu can agree to my request, they'll all be yours."

Leng Shu said with a smile.

Although Blue Star prohibits all kinds of human trafficking, in reality it simply can't be stopped.

Human trafficking has always existed, and even here in Dayangzhou, there are official forces getting involved.

These four women were something he had specifically sought out after hearing that Xu Jingming had more than one woman.

Moreover, the other party was only twenty, right at the age of vigorous qi and blood, so he probably wouldn't be able to hold back.

It could be said that, to win over Xu Jingming, Leng Shu had still put in quite a bit of thought.

However, what surprised him was that, facing these four voluptuous women who would make even his own heart flutter.

Xu Jingming merely swept a glance and said lightly:

"Four fifth-rank ability users — you do have good tricks.

But I think you may have some misunderstanding. I don't have much interest in them."

In Great Xia, a fifth-rank ability user could be said to be a powerful figure in a region.

Even teachers employed at Magic University were only sixth-rank.

Yet, here, they could be treated like slaves.

"That's true. Brother Xu, you have Hearing Ling Shuang, so it's normal you wouldn't fancy these women."

Leng Shu nodded slightly and waved his hand: "You may leave."

"Yes." The few women swayed their figures as they departed.

As they left, they all felt somewhat regretful — an SS-rank ability awakener wasn't someone you could encounter every time.

"Since Brother Xu doesn't want women, what about the remaining conditions?

A 2% share of the Spirit Fox Guild, plus a share of SS-rank cultivation resources — can these make you come to my side?"

Leng Shu looked at Xu Jingming with some anticipation.

Those women were merely an attempt to begin with; the real focus was still these resources.
