Chapter 801: Divine Thunder Blood Demon Body! Terrifying Amplification!

When the S-Rank Thunder Indestructible Body was upgraded to the SS-Rank Divine Thunder Indestructible Body, Xu Jingming gained a new mode: Thunderstorm State.

This time, the Divine Thunder Indestructible Body was upgraded to an SSS-Rank body cultivation technique.

Although no new mode was added, he already sensed that both Thunder Extreme State and Thunderstorm State had undergone tremendous changes compared to before.

"These two modes seem to have been influenced by the Divine Blood Secret Art."

Xu Jingming looked around.

The training room, forged from C-Rank alloy, was sturdy enough for Song Qiuyun and the others, but to him it was as fragile as tofu.

Just now, during the evolution of the body cultivation technique, the unintentional release of Dou Tian Divine Thunder had already punched numerous craters into the ground.

If he tested these two new modes inside the training room, he would likely destroy the entire newly purchased villa.

"Forget it, better go to the virtual world."

Xu Jingming took out a neural helmet from his space ring.

Just as he was about to put it on, Catherine spoke up eagerly from beside him:

"Are you testing your new body cultivation technique? Can I come along and watch?"

At these words, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu also turned to look curiously.

They both wanted to see the power of Xu Jingming's SSS-Rank body cultivation technique.

After a moment's thought, Xu Jingming nodded: "Fine, but before the Martial Arts Academy Exchange Tournament begins, you must not reveal my strength to anyone."

The Martial Arts Academy Exchange Tournament was only two months away, and he didn't want his power exposed.

The SSS-Rank body cultivation technique was his planned "surprise" for the foreigners.

"No problem." Catherine didn't refuse.

The Martial Arts Academy Exchange Tournament was a stage for Eighth-Rank Grand Masters; although the Holy Church would send people this time,

she wouldn't participate—actually, it had little to do with her.

"Eva, monitor all my data comprehensively.

See how my power differs between these two modes and my normal state."

Virtual World, Arena.

Xu Jingming spread his Lei Long Wings and hovered silently in midair above the city, instructing Eva on his shoulder.

A short distance away, Catherine, Song Qiuyun, and Jiang Chu watched the training.

"Understood, leave it to me." Eva said excitedly.

Her database contained detailed records of geniuses from the Second Civilization Era.

Even many prodigies from the First Civilization Era were documented.

But no one had ever developed an SSS-Rank body cultivation technique while only at Seventh-Rank Mid-Level.

She too was eager to see the power of this technique.

"First, Thunder Extreme State!"

BOOM!!

Brilliant golden lightning erupted violently; Xu Jingming's aura surged instantly, his clear eyes filled with thunder.

But unlike before, this lightning was no longer purely golden—it now carried a tinge of crimson!

The two merged into a dominant, bloodthirsty crimson-gold.

SWISH—

A spear over two meters long materialized in midair, seized by Xu Jingming, who swung it freely, unleashing various combat techniques.

Simultaneously, streams of data flowed through Eva's eyes.

Constantly analyzing Xu Jingming's explosive power, neural reaction speed, and energy potency...

After a full half-minute, once sufficient data was collected, Eva spoke:

"S-Rank, compared to normal state.

In Thunder Extreme State, your muscle explosive power and energy potency have both increased.

Combined, your overall power has surged by eightfold."

"Eightfold?!"

Xu Jingming, still swinging the spear, froze mid-motion, his face lit with delight.

When he first activated Thunder Extreme State, he'd felt his power surge dramatically—but he hadn't expected it to increase by a full eight times!

"If Thunder Extreme State already boosts power by eightfold, what about Thunderstorm State?"

With a thought, Xu Jingming eagerly activated Thunderstorm State.

CRACKLE—CRASH—

Thunder roared; the entire arena city was engulfed in a sea of lightning.

Xu Jingming's body swelled like inflating air, growing until it reached a height of 3. meters, then stabilized.

His muscles twisted and knotted; pale golden scales sprouted across vulnerable joints—elbows, knees.

A crimson blood aura enveloped his entire body.

His eyes transformed into reptilian vertical pupils; the crimson-gold lightning within vanished.

In their place burned endless scarlet—like a ferocious beast!

No, the aura he emitted was even more furious and bloodthirsty than any beast!

Even in the virtual world, Catherine and the other two women shuddered slightly, their hearts flooded with boundless dread.

In the real world, merely the release of this aura would likely paralyze them completely!

"Blood aura..."

Xu Jingming stared at the scarlet blood aura surrounding his body.

This was a power exclusive to enhancement-type energy users—he now possessed it too.

And unlike ordinary blood auras, this one carried astonishing malevolent energy!

"The blood aura seems to have absorbed some traits of the Divine Blood Secret Art."

In fact, it wasn't just the blood aura—Xu Jingming felt his will had also been influenced by the Divine Blood Secret Art.

It had grown more bloodthirsty, more violent, as if craving to destroy everything around him.

"The side effects of absorbing the Thunder Dragon King's blood have reappeared—but thankfully, they remain within controllable limits."

In truth, these negative emotions wouldn't hinder actual combat; instead, they would help Xu Jingming terrify his enemies.

"It's just that I'm becoming less human by the day."

He looked down at his hands—his fingers had grown sharp, his nails as keen as dragon claws.

"Eva, form a S-Rank metal block."

"Understood."

A white metal block materialized before Xu Jingming.

SWISH—

With a single sweep of his right claw, the thirty-centimeter-thick metal block was cleanly sliced in half.

"My claws are nearly as strong as S-Rank alloy?" Xu Jingming was stunned.

That meant, in the future, even without carrying alloy weapons,

his own claws could serve as devastatingly sharp weapons!

"Next, begin comprehensive testing."

Xu Jingming retracted his Lei Long Wings and landed on the ground.

Then he sprinted at full speed!

BANG!!

A sharp sonic boom rang out as Xu Jingming became a blur racing through the city.

Lightning flashed; building after building collapsed under his impact, crashing down with thunderous roars.

"My physical sprinting speed has broken the sound barrier!" Xu Jingming laughed wildly.

Previously, his maximum sprinting speed in Thunderstorm State had been only around 280 meters per second.

During the sprint, Xu Jingming continuously unleashed combat techniques, wielding his spear.

The entire city suffered as if under apocalyptic assault—ground trembled, buildings toppled.

Soon after, Eva compiled the data and exclaimed excitedly:

"S-Rank, in Thunderstorm State, your power is sixteen times greater than your normal state!"

"Sixteenfold!" Xu Jingming's eyes blazed with brilliance.

The SS-Rank Divine Thunder Indestructible Body had granted power multipliers of fourfold and sevenfold for Thunder Extreme State and Thunderstorm State respectively.

Now, after upgrading the body cultivation technique to SSS-Rank, both modes' power multipliers had doubled.

"If Lu Wenliang appeared before me now, I wouldn't even need to attack from afar with ranged techniques.

Just by closing in and fighting hand-to-hand, I could crush him utterly!"

Xu Jingming smiled in satisfaction.

The changes brought by the SSS-Rank body cultivation technique were even stronger than he'd imagined.

"S-Rank, what name will you give this body cultivation technique?" Eva asked excitedly.

This SSS-Rank body cultivation technique would undoubtedly leave an astonishing mark in her database.

"Name it?"

Xu Jingming frowned, thought for a moment, then replied:

"This body forging art evolved from the Divine Blood Secret Art; let's call it the Divine Thunder Blood Chaos Body."
