Chapter 823: Snatching the Treasure in Broad Daylight! The Furious Lei En!

"Plant Holy Water is useless to human psychics, but for rare flowers and plants, it's equivalent to an SSS+ level cultivation resource!"

Eva's voice quickly echoed in Xu Jingming's mind, "This was likely left here by the Flower Goddess to facilitate the cultivation of plant life or rare flora."

"I see."

Xu Jingming's eyes glowed faintly.

Although the main hall was large, it was completely empty—aside from the pool of water before him, no other treasures could be seen.

"So this must be the most valuable treasure left behind by the Flower Goddess."

Xu Jingming no longer concealed himself; his brilliant SSS-level Dou Tian Divine Thunder erupted violently, instantly entering Thunder Storm State!

"Thunder Flash!"

A flash of golden lightning—Xu Jingming instantly teleported beside the pool and sealed all its water into his space ring.

"There's a thief!"

At that moment, everyone—including Lei En—finally reacted.

Especially Lei En, who instantly flew into a rage and roared: "How dare you steal treasures right before me? You seek death!"

The aura of an eighth-rank upper-level psychic erupted instantly.

Lei En's body swelled, muscles bulging violently, his golden hair thickening and smoothing further.

Fangs grew from his mouth, like the king of beasts—a lion radiating boundless majesty.

Enhanced Divine Beast-type S-class psychic ability: "Golden Lion King!"

After releasing his ability, a heavy pressure instantly spread outward.

Simultaneously, Lei En's battle blade, wrapped in crimson blood qi, slashed toward Xu Jingming.

The slash was swift—like lightning.

Yet it still couldn't outpace Xu Jingming's perfected Thunder Barrier!!

Hum—

Thick golden thunder barriers instantly layered over a dozen times before Xu Jingming.

Even so, Lei En's blade shattered them as easily as cutting through rotten wood.

It then slammed heavily into Xu Jingming's chest.

Boom!!

A muffled sound rang out—Xu Jingming felt only a slight impact, utterly unharmed.

"What?!" Lei En's heart jolted.

As an S-class eighth-rank upper-level Grand Master, he had just unleashed an SS-class sword technique.

That single slash could cleave through a mountain—let alone Xu Jingming, a mere seventh-rank upper-level.

Correct.

Though Xu Jingming was wrapped in black Yuanjia, the distinctive Dou Tian Divine Thunder had already revealed his identity.

"No wonder—the Yuanjia is SSSR-class! So formidable!"

Xu Jingming's face lit up with delight; he didn't linger, swiftly flying toward the temple's exit.

In terms of speed alone, with Thunder Storm State active and the Extreme Radiance Thunder Ring enhancing his ability, he far outpaced this entire American group!

Not even Lei En could catch him!

"Sh*t! He flies this fast?!"

Witnessing Xu Jingming's flight speed, Lei En was both shocked and furious.

But he wasn't without options—among their group was another eighth-rank upper-level Wind Grand Master!

Whoo—

Howling winds surged, carrying their eight men after Xu Jingming.

Meanwhile, the team's elementalists began attacking.

Fireballs, wind blades—powerful SS and even SSS-class techniques were hurled at Xu Jingming like desperate gambits.

But Xu Jingming, fully trusting his Yuanjia's defense, didn't even bother activating his Thunder Barrier, letting the techniques strike him directly.

"Useless! Useless! Your attacks only waste your psychic energy!"

Xu Jingming's mocking laughter rang out.

He quickly flew out of the temple's space, reappearing outside.

There, Zhou Yu—who had been waiting to assist—witnessed a scene she would never forget.

Xu Jingming flew ahead, chased by Lei En and the American elite.

One after another, devastating techniques—each capable of tearing apart space—struck Xu Jingming, yet inflicted not a single scratch.

Not even a single tear marred his battle suit.

"Is Xu Jingming's physique this strong?" Zhou Yu swallowed hard.

Battle suits could mitigate elemental damage, but not impact force.

Each of those spells, even without elemental enhancement, carried over ten thousand tons of impact.

Elementalists' physiques are inherently weak—if it were her...

She'd be dead after absorbing two or three techniques, her internal organs shattered by the force.

"Sis Zhou, mission accomplished. Let's go."

While she was still thinking, Xu Jingming had already arrived.

Without waiting for her reaction, he swept her up in his arms as she gasped.

Feeling the powerful arms wrapped around her thighs, Zhou Yu's fair face flushed slightly.

But she knew this wasn't the time for distractions.

The howling wind surged as her Wind psychic ability was fully unleashed, enveloping Xu Jingming and causing his already astonishing flight speed to skyrocket again!

In an instant, they vanished from Lei En and the others' sight.

"F*ck! There's another eighth-rank upper-level Wind Grand Master waiting outside!"

The American team's Wind Grand Master cursed, then turned to Lei En and asked:

"Lord Lei En, what do we do now?"

"Return to the temple. Keep searching for treasures.

Xu Jingming wears an SSSR-class Yuanjia—even if we catch him, we can't touch him."

Lei En replied in a low voice.

Though he had suppressed his rage, every eighth-rank Grand Master nearby could hear the fury in his tone.

Like a volcano about to erupt.

"It's a Yuanjia? No wonder our attacks had no effect."

The white man beside Lei En whispered in awe.

A regular SSSR-class battle suit was fiercely contested among ninth-rank psychics.

But a Yuanjia—a premium SSSR-class battle suit? Even ninth-rank upper-level psychics would covet it.

Due to its rarity, even Lei En couldn't possess one.

Not even borrow it—America's ninth-rank elites feared he'd lose it in the Ye Er Secret Realm.

"By the way, have we analyzed the composition of that pool of water?"

On their way back, Lei En asked.

He carried the highest-level artificial intelligence.

When they saw the pool, the AI had just finished scanning—but before analysis could begin, Xu Jingming snatched it away.

"Analysis is complete."

The eighth-rank Grand Master controlling the AI replied cautiously:

"According to the AI, there's an 82% probability that the pool water is Plant Holy Water, capable of accelerating the growth of rare flora and plant life."

"What?! That's what it was?!" Lei En's face darkened instantly.

For psychics, rare flora and heavenly treasures are the most critical cultivation resources.

Though Plant Holy Water is useless to humans, it accelerates the growth of rare flora.

Just that alone qualifies it as an undisputed SSS-class resource!

Moreover, Plant Holy Water can even accelerate the growth of SSSR-class rare flora!

That's terrifying!

And that pool? At least five cubic meters!

No one knows how many rare plants it could accelerate—calling it priceless is an understatement!

It might even be the most valuable treasure in the entire palace.

The thought of such a treasure being stolen right before his eyes filled Lei En with unbearable anguish.

And before this, his team had already wasted nearly twenty days in the Ye Er Secret Realm...

"Xu Jingming! Don't let me catch you—or I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Lei En could no longer contain his rage; his roaring blood qi shook the surrounding space.
