Chapter 770

"Studying body cultivation techniques?"

Leng Yuexi's eyes lit up, instantly intrigued: "Can I join you? I've done quite a bit of research in body cultivation myself."

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

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

As a fire-element cultivator following the warrior path, 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 technique manual isn't meant to be viewed by outsiders, just ignore what I said."

To prevent misunderstanding, Leng Yuexi added quickly.

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

Xu Jingming smiled.

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

Besides, letting someone read the manual wasn't an issue—it was 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 America for several years.

Her understanding of body cultivation, entirely different from Daxia's system, gave Xu Jingming great insight.

The next day, at 6 a. ., dawn just breaking.

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

"I didn't realize American body cultivation techniques differed so much from Daxia's."

"When I have time, I should visit America and bring back more combat technique manuals."

As he stepped 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, right? My eldest master wants to meet you. Do you have time?"

At that moment, a man in a suit walked up quickly from nearby, bowing respectfully.

"Eldest master?"

Xu Jingming frowned at him, then realized: "Leng Shu of the Fox Spirit Guild?"

"Correct."

The man in the suit nodded with a smile. "Last night, our eldest master learned you'd come to the Fox Spirit Guild."

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

"You've got good information."

After a moment's thought, Xu Jingming nodded. "Lead the way."

Leng Shu had come for only one reason.

Either to tell him not to interfere in the Fox Spirit Guild's affairs, or to recruit him directly.

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

So he agreed—to see what was going on first.

Afterward, he could warn Leng Yuexi.

The Fox Spirit Guild owned an entire estate, complete with leisure, entertainment, and all kinds of 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, you truly are extraordinary."

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

As a mixed-blood of Daxia and Xiong, he knew how to speak to different people accordingly.

To Daxians, he spoke as a compatriot; to Xiong 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 used 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.

"I heard your name during the Talent Competition."

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

Leng Shu chuckled. "Tell me, Mr. Xu—did you come here just for fun, or is there another purpose?"

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

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

Otherwise, things might get awkward.

"I'm helping Leng Yuexi compete." Xu Jingming didn't hide it.

"I thought so."

Leng Shu's eyes narrowed. "Since you're so straightforward, I'll be direct too.

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

Come work for me instead of helping Leng Yuexi.

Also, these women are all yours..."

As he finished, he clapped his hands.

Four stunningly beautiful women stepped out from a side room.

They wore only thin gauze robes, their pale, plump figures barely concealed beneath—exquisitely alluring.

"All four are fifth-rank enhancement-type adepts. Their elemental ranks are low—only B and C.

But their physical strength is formidable; they won't break easily under use.

If you accept my offer, they're all yours."

Leng Shu smiled.

Though Blue Planet banned human trafficking, it was impossible to truly stop.

Human trafficking persisted, and even in Oceania, official factions were involved.

These four women were specifically acquired after he learned Xu Jingming had more than one woman.

And he was only twenty—his blood was boiling, hard to resist such temptations.

Clearly, Leng Shu had put considerable thought into winning Xu Jingming over.

Yet, to his surprise, Xu Jingming merely glanced at the four alluring women—women whose figures would have stirred even him—

and said coolly:

"Four fifth-rank adepts. You've got some nerve.

But I think you've misunderstood—I have no interest in them."

In Daxia, fifth-rank adepts were powerful figures.

Even teachers at Mo University were only sixth-rank.

Yet here, they were treated like slaves.

"I see. Mr. Xu, you have Director Lingshuang—you wouldn't care for these women, naturally."

Leng Shu nodded slightly and waved his hand. "Leave."

"Yes." The women departed with swaying steps.

As they left, each felt a pang of regret—SSS-rank Awakeners weren't something you encountered every day.

"Since you don't want women, what about the rest?

Two percent of the Fox Spirit Guild's shares, plus an S-rank cultivation resource—will that get you to join me?"

Leng Shu looked at Xu Jingming with anticipation.

The women were just a trial—the real leverage was the resources.
