Chapter 811

"Additionally, I need to emphasize a few points."

"First, upon entering the Ye Er Nexus, you will be randomly teleported to different locations within the nexus."

Even if two people enter together, they will be separated."

"Second, your Guardian Talismans will become completely ineffective within the Ye Er Nexus."

That means do not rely on your Guardian Talismans as a life-saving measure."

As for why this happens, we still haven't figured it out."

Xue Jian emphasized these two points once more.

"Not only random teleportation, but even Guardian Talismans won't work?"

Xu Jingming frowned.

His greatest trump card was the ninth-rank Guardian Talisman he had won during the Talent Competition.

He never expected the Guardian Talisman would become useless.

"But that's fine—given my current A-rank, ninth-stage peak combat power."

Unless a ninth-rank psychic appears, I won't be in mortal danger."

Xu Jingming thought silently.

As for the random teleportation, it wasn't an issue at all.

With Ling Shuang, as long as they were no more than six hundred kilometers apart, she could teleport directly to him.

The entire Ye Er Nexus wasn't that large.

"The Ye Er Nexus could open at any moment, so I need you all to arrive in Maple Nation by nine tomorrow evening."

At nine tomorrow night, I will host a banquet for you all at the Wilson Hotel in Maple Nation."

Anyone who fails to show up will be considered to have forfeited entry into the Ye Er Nexus, and I will assign someone else in their place."

"That's all for today. Xu Jingming, stay behind."

As Xue Jian finished speaking, the others all looked at Xu Jingming with envy.

To be singled out by Lord Xue Jian must mean there was something important to be privately conveyed.

What an honor!

Though envious, none dared linger—they all logged out immediately.

"Jingming, I'll wait for you back home."

Ling Shuang softly spoke those words, then also exited the virtual world.

Once everyone had left, Xue Jian waved his right hand, and the barren wasteland scene transformed once more into the rooftop terrace of a villa.

Above, stars glittered in the sky.

Xue Jian stepped forward to stand before Xu Jingming.

"Lord Xue Jian." Xu Jingming bowed respectfully.

"Sit."

Two chairs suddenly appeared on the rooftop. Xue Jian sat first; Xu Jingming took the seat opposite him.

"Come to think of it, this is our first meeting, isn't it?"

"I never imagined that last year I was still killing people in Sakura Nation on your behalf."

"And now, this year, you've already grown so strong—the number one prodigy of Blue Planet, truly deserving of the title."

Xue Jian sighed with emotion, then waved his right hand—two steaming cups of tea appeared before them each.

The virtual world had this advantage: whatever you wanted, you only needed to think it.

"Lord Xue Jian, you flatter me," Xu Jingming replied humbly.

"I'm not flattering you. Whether in the Second Civilization Era or now,"

"No one has ever transformed from a newly awakened individual into a combatant with ninth-stage upper-tier power in just two years."

Xue Jian smiled, his admiration unmistakable.

In truth, what he admired most about Xu Jingming was his diligence!

Even though he was already Blue Planet's number one prodigy, even though he possessed an SS-rank psychic ability,

Even though his true combat power far surpassed other SS-rank prodigies, Xu Jingming still routinely ventured into the Wild Zones.

According to what he had learned, after completing Lu Wenliang's mission,

Xu Jingming spent only four or five days in Mocheng during his fifty-plus days back in Dayangzhou.

The rest of the time, he spent battling ferocious beasts in the Wild Zones.

Who wouldn't admire a genius who is both diligent and gifted?

"By the way, the Ye Er Nexus is extremely dangerous."

Especially you—you are my Great Xia's SS-rank prodigy."

You're very likely to be targeted by other nations, and the United States is most likely to strike against you."

Xue Jian mused, "In my opinion, you don't even need to enter the Ye Er Nexus this time."

You can still change your mind—I can still have Lei Tang Martial Hall assign someone else to replace you."

But once you report to Maple Nation tomorrow, I won't be able to swap you out anymore."

You must consider this carefully."

"Lord Xue Jian, rest assured—I have confidence," Xu Jingming replied, his voice steady and firm.

He couldn't be certain he was the strongest among those entering the Ye Er Nexus.

But when it came to escape ability, no one was faster than him.

With Thunderstorm Mode's Lei Long Wings, combined with Illusory Thunder Step and Thunder Domain,

No one below ninth-rank could possibly catch him!

"Good! Good! Good! With prodigies like you in Great Xia, how could we not grow even stronger?"

Xue Jian said three "good"s in succession, his eyes brimming with admiration as he smiled:

"You are Great Xia's SS-rank prodigy—we will not allow you to perish in the Ye Er Nexus."

We have specially prepared a life-saving equipment for you, which will be delivered to you upon your arrival in Maple Nation."

"What kind of equipment?" Xu Jingming asked, curious.

"Yuanjia."

Xue Jian opened his right palm—a black sphere the size of a basketball appeared about ten centimeters from his hand.

"Is Yuanjia a battle suit? Why does it look like a ball?"

Xu Jingming asked, puzzled.

"Because it is, in fact, a ball."

Xue Jian laughed, then slapped the black sphere against his body.

Instantly, the black sphere liquefied, enveloping his limbs and even his head.

Only a pair of eyes, faintly glowing crimson, remained visible.

"Yuanjia is a liquid battle suit, discovered from ancient civilization ruins."

We still don't know its exact composition, but its defensive power is astonishing."

It can nullify all damage from any psychic below ninth-rank, and even reduce damage from ninth-rank psychics by ninety percent!"

Once worn, as long as you avoid the few absolute dead zones within the Ye Er Nexus, you're virtually guaranteed survival."

Xue Jian smiled and explained, "This Yuanjia is, in common terms, an SSR-rank battle suit."

Of course, although Yuanjia is incredibly defensive, it still cannot withstand a ninth-rank psychic's full force."

Your physical body is too weak—even with ninety percent damage reduction, the remaining force would still kill you."

But no ninth-rank psychics can appear inside the Ye Er Nexus, so you needn't worry about that."

Xu Jingming was Blue Planet's number one prodigy and vital to Great Xia's future.

The Great Xia high command would never permit him to be harmed.

This Yuanjia was prepared specifically for him.

"Yuanjia?" Xu Jingming's eyes instantly lit up.

A battle suit that nullifies all damage below ninth-rank? That was simply incredible!

Though confident in his own strength, he had no objection to an extra layer of protection.
