Chapter 811: Great Xia's Protection! SSR-Grade Yuan Armor!
"Additionally, I need to emphasize a few points."
"First, after entering the Yell Secret Realm, you will be randomly teleported to some location within the realm."
"Even if two people enter at the same time, they will be separated."
"Second, your guardian talismans will completely lose their effectiveness inside the Yell Secret Realm."
"In other words, don't treat your guardian talisman as a life-saving measure."
"As for why this happens, we still haven't figured it out to this day."
Lord Xue Jian emphasized these two points one last time.
"Not only random teleportation, but even the guardian talismans can't be used?"
Xu Jingming frowned.
The greatest trump card on him was the ninth-grade guardian talisman he had obtained at the Genius Tournament back then.
But he hadn't expected that the guardian talisman would actually fail.
"Still, it's fine. Looking at my current peak combat power of A-grade, eighth-rank."
"Unless a ninth-rank ability user appears, there won't be any danger to my life."
Xu Jingming said silently in his heart.
As for the former's random teleportation, that wasn't a problem at all.
With Hearing Ling Shuang around, as long as the two of them were no more than 600 kilometers apart, she could teleport directly to him.
And the entire Yell Secret Realm didn't have a distance that long.
"The Yell Secret Realm could open at any time, so I need you to arrive at Maple Leaf Country before nine o'clock tomorrow evening.
Tomorrow night at nine, I will host a banquet at the Wilson Hotel in Maple Leaf Country to welcome everyone.
If anyone fails to arrive, it will be treated as forfeiting entry to the Yell Secret Realm, and I will rearrange the roster.
Alright, that's all for today. Xu Jingming, stay behind for a moment."
As Lord Xue Jian's words fell, the others cast envious glances at Xu Jingming one after another.
To be kept behind alone by Lord Lord Xue Jian—there must be some other important matter to discuss privately.
What an honor that was.
Envy was one thing, but none of them dared linger, and they all chose to log off one after another.
"Jingming, I'll head back and wait for you."
Hearing Ling Shuang softly left behind a sentence, then likewise exited the virtual world.
After everyone had left, Lord Xue Jian waved his right hand, and the original wasteland scene transformed once more into the rooftop of a villa.
In the sky overhead, a host of stars twinkled.
And Lord Xue Jian strode over to stand before Xu Jingming.
"Lord Lord Xue Jian." Xu Jingming bowed respectfully.
"Sit."
Two chairs suddenly appeared on the rooftop. Lord Xue Jian sat down first, and Xu Jingming sat in the chair opposite him.
"Come to think of it, this is the first time we've actually met, isn't it."
"I truly didn't expect that last year I was still killing people in Sakura Country for your sake.
Yet this year your strength is already this formidable—Blue Star's number one prodigy, a title truly deserved.
Lord Xue Jian sighed with some emotion, then waved his right hand, and a cup of steaming hot tea appeared before each of them.
This was the good thing about the virtual world—whatever you wanted, a single thought could make it happen.
"Lord Lord Xue Jian overpraises me." Xu Jingming said humbly.
"I wasn't overpraising. Whether it was the Second Civilization Era or now.
There has never been a single person who could transform from an awakener to possessing eighth-rank upper-tier combat power in just two short years."
Lord Xue Jian said with a smile, his appreciation undisguised in his tone.
In truth, what he appreciated most about Xu Jingming was his hard work!
Despite already being Blue Star's number one prodigy, despite already possessing an SS-grade ability.
Even though his actual combat power far surpassed other SS-grade prodigies, Xu Jingming still ran to the wasteland as always.
According to what he had learned, after Xu Jingming completed Lu Wenliang's mission.
In the more than fifty days since returning to Dayangzhou, he had only stayed in Moben for four or five days.
The rest of the time, he had thrown himself into the wasteland, battling fierce beasts.
A genius both diligent and talented—who wouldn't like that?
"That said, this Yell Secret Realm is very dangerous.
Especially for you—you're an SS-grade prodigy of our Great Xia.
You're very likely to be targeted by other nations, and among them, the Rice Country is the most likely to make a move against you."
Lord Xue Jian said contemplatively, "In my opinion, for this Yell Secret Realm, you could actually not go.
You can change your mind right now, and I can still have Lei Ting Martial Hall arrange for someone else to replace you.
Once you report at Maple Leaf Country tomorrow, I won't be able to swap people out anymore.
You need to consider this point carefully."
"Lord Lord Xue Jian can rest assured, I have confidence." Xu Jingming's voice was steady and forceful.
He didn't dare claim he was the strongest person entering the Yell Secret Realm this time.
But when it came to escape ability, no one was faster than him.
The Thunder Dragon Wings in Thunder Burst state, combined with Phantom Thunder Step and Thunder Domain.
Without reaching the ninth rank, don't even think about catching up to him!
"Good, good, good! With a prodigy like you in our Great Xia, how could we worry about growing ever stronger?"
Lord Xue Jian said "good" three times in a row, the appreciation in his eyes growing ever richer, and said with a smile:
"You are an SS-rank prodigy of our Great Xia; naturally we will not allow you to perish within the Yell Secret Realm.
We have already specially prepared a life-saving piece of equipment for you; it will be handed over to you once you arrive in Maple Leaf Country."
"What equipment?" Xu Jingming was somewhat curious.
"Yuan Armor."
Lord Xue Jian spread open his right hand, and a pitch-black sphere the size of a basketball appeared roughly ten-plus centimeters from his palm.
"Is Yuan Armor a type of battle suit? Why does it look like a sphere?"
Xu Jingming said, puzzled.
"Because it originally is a sphere."
Lord Xue Jian let out a laugh and slapped the pitch-black sphere onto his own body.
In an instant, the pitch-black sphere transformed into liquid, wrapping up all of his limbs, including his head.
Only a pair of eyes faintly tinged with a crimson hue were left exposed.
"Yuan Armor is a liquid battle suit; we excavated it from civilization ruins.
To this day we still haven't figured out its exact material, but Yuan Armor's defensive power is extremely astonishing.
It can nullify all damage from ability-users below the ninth rank, and can even reduce damage from ninth-rank ability-users by 90%!
Once you put on Yuan Armor, as long as you don't enter those few death zones within the Yell Secret Realm, there will almost certainly be no danger to your life."
Lord Xue Jian introduced with a smile, "This Yuan Armor is, in the colloquial sense, an SSR-rank battle suit.
Of course, although Yuan Armor's defensive power is formidable, when facing a ninth-rank ability-user it still cannot hold out.
Your physique is too weak; even if Yuan Armor reduces the damage by 90%, the remaining force is still enough to blast you to death.
But ninth-rank ability-users cannot possibly appear within the Yell Secret Realm, so you don't need to worry about this point either."
Xu Jingming is Blue Star's number-one prodigy, and is of great benefit to Great Xia's future.
Naturally, Great Xia's higher-ups would not allow anything to happen to Xu Jingming.
This Yuan Armor was prepared specially for him.
"Yuan Armor?" Xu Jingming's eyes immediately lit up.
A battle suit that can nullify all damage below the ninth rank — this was practically heaven-defying!
Although he was very confident in his own strength, he did not mind having one more layer of protection.
