Chapter 791: S+ Abilities! Guardian of the Soul-Sealing Tower!

Whoosh—

As Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu's abilities began to transform.

The entire villa living room split in two: the left side filled with warm, radiant golden light, as sacred as heaven.

The right side howled with freezing winds, as if they had entered a snow kingdom.

The floor froze into thick ice, all furniture and decorations encased in frost.

And all the light and snowstorm were enveloped by a brilliant golden thunder.

That was Xu Jingming's Dou Tian Divine Thunder; had he not used it to isolate their abilities from further explosion, the entire villa would have been destroyed.

"I should've absorbed the elemental essences in the training room," Xu Jingming thought silently.

This living room was ruined.

But it didn't matter—he planned to buy another villa anyway.

After another ten minutes, the astonishing commotion slowly subsided.

The dazzling light and freezing winds were drawn back into the two women's bodies.

Both opened their eyes at once, their gazes brimming with unprecedented joy.

They could clearly feel—they were no longer the same as before!

Their abilities had become overwhelmingly powerful!

"Eva, scan their abilities, analyze their rank and names," Xu Jingming ordered.

Eva's holographic projection appeared; Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu each displayed their abilities in response.

Pale blue virtual light projected onto the two distinct abilities—one light, one ice—and quickly delivered its analysis:

"A-rank 'Dawnlight' ability evolved into S+ rank light ability 'Sacred Light.'"

"A-rank 'Frost Ice Soul' ability evolved into S+ rank ice ability 'Ultimate Ice Soul.'"

"Both are S+ rank abilities?"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up; Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu also wore expressions of astonishment.

S-rank abilities have tiers; S+ rank abilities are far stronger than ordinary S-rank ones!

"You repaired the two elemental essences to near-perfect condition."

"Naturally, this greatly aided their ability evolution—reaching S+ rank is expected."

Eva replied with a smile.

The fire elemental essence Cold Yueshi absorbed had only 75% integrity.

Though she successfully evolved into the S-rank fire ability 'Nine You Purple Flame,' it remained one of the more mediocre S-rank fire abilities.

Far inferior to the S+ rank abilities Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu had just evolved.

"So that's why."

Xu Jingming finally understood, smiling at the two women: "How do you feel now?"

"I feel warm all over, like my whole body is brimming with power," Song Qiuyun replied first.

Compared to before her ability evolution, she now carried a sacred aura.

This aura resembled Catherine's when she activated her SS-rank ability 'Sacred Angel,' though slightly weaker.

"My feeling is similar to Qiuyun's, but my ability seems to have changed."

Jiang Chu waved her hand; the frost swirling around her body transformed into a pale blue liquid resembling seawater.

"Is this… a water ability?" Xu Jingming was surprised.

"The S+ rank 'Ultimate Ice Soul' does possess both water and ice forms."

"Perhaps because she absorbed a water elemental essence, her ability evolved into this form."

Eva explained.

Ice abilities are essentially a specialized form of water abilities—they share common traits.

"That's good—Chu Xuan, you can now learn both ice and water combat techniques."

Xu Jingming hadn't expected the water elemental essence he gave Jiang Chu would cause such a transformation.

He paused, then added: "After ability evolution, both physique and combat techniques will improve."

"You must train harder during this period to adapt to the changes brought by your S+ rank abilities."

"Understood," Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu nodded in unison.

They could already feel that their S+ rank abilities were harder to control than their previous A-rank ones.

"By the way, should we keep our ability evolution a secret?"

Song Qiuyun asked hesitantly.

She feared someone might learn their abilities evolved due to Xu Jingming and come to him seeking the same opportunity.

After all, evolving into an S-rank ability was a chance even ninth-rank ability users envied!

"No need."

Xu Jingming shook his head. "The more talent you reveal, the more attention you'll draw from Magic University and even the Great Xia high command."

I understand your concern, but this opportunity was purely accidental—telling them the location won't hurt."

Given my status, they can't force me to reveal anything."

Elemental essences are incredibly rare.

With Cold Yueshi, we got lucky and found three.

I don't believe everyone has such luck.

Otherwise, S-rank ability awakeners wouldn't be so scarce.

"Also, if Councilor Liu Yushan approaches you,"

"Make sure a principal accompanies you—preferably Teacher Yang."

"If he offers to implant a Spirit Seal for mental defense, absolutely refuse."

Xu Jingming warned.

Two S+ rank ability awakeners might draw Liu Yushan to Magic University.

"Why? I remember you have a Spirit Seal yourself," Song Qiuyun asked, puzzled.

As a member of an eighth-rank Grand Master family, she naturally knew Councilor Liu Yushan, a ninth-rank mid-tier.

Many eighth-rank experts couldn't even obtain a Spirit Seal.

"Because while it offers protection, it's also a trap…"

Xu Jingming briefly recounted the events.

Xu Jingming briefly recounted the sequence of events.

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu stared in shock after hearing.

No one had imagined the Spirit Seal, so coveted by eighth-rank Grand Masters, carried such a hidden danger!

"Although Senior Cao hasn't found any leads on Liu Yushan yet,"

"I'm 90% certain he's involved in something suspicious—so avoid any contact with him."

"I'll handle your mental defense myself."

Xu Jingming mused.

The next instant,

His mental energy surged forth, coalescing into two Spirit-Tower seals, each about the size of a ping-pong ball, glowing with milky-white light.

As soon as the two Spirit-Towers touched the women's foreheads, they dissolved like droplets merging into the ocean, vanishing completely.

"That's done," Xu Jingming exhaled in relief.

Mental manipulation is never easy.

Under strong mental resistance from the target, success rates are extremely low.

Only those several major ranks above their target dare attempt mental manipulation.

But with these Spirit-Towers in place, even a ninth-rank mental ability user couldn't forcibly manipulate Song Qiuyun or Jiang Chu, both at peak third-rank.

With the Soul-Pacifying Tower present, even a ninth-rank psychic-type ability user cannot forcibly manipulate the mental energies of Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu, both at the peak of third rank.
