Chapter 830: Ling Shuang Arrives! The Long-Awaited Psychic Skill Point Allocation!

Wang Linyang is the commander of the Jinghai Corps.

Although the Jinghai Corps is a private armed force, it still assists in handling some beast surges in Daya.

As commander, Wang Linyang is not exactly selfish—he is willing to help other Daya people.

Of course,

first there must be sufficient profit, and the ability to preserve one's own life.

For example, the Black Crow Campaign that wiped out the Ash Guild's main force.

He only agreed to go after learning that the ferocious beast had just broken through the eighth rank, wasn't yet very strong, and that a substantial reward awaited after the campaign.

Using the Ash Guild as bait instead of steadily recommending allies was merely to accelerate the mission and claim the reward sooner.

After all, it wasn't his Jinghai Corps members who died.

Plus, he could use the Ash Guild to wear down the eighth-rank ferocious beast—why not?

He hadn't expected the energy from the Metropolis Psychic University to be so powerful.

As a result, he not only had to return the mission reward he'd earned, but also paid out a large sum of money.

Of course, compared to going to prison, paying to settle the matter was already quite good.

And encountering members of the Tianming Sect was completely beyond his expectations.

Compared to death, he—who valued his own life more than anyone else—naturally chose to surrender.

Fang Yuan was dead; the remaining Daya eighth-rank mid-tier, Zhao Zhi, instantly turned pale, yet made no rebuke or comment.

"Excellent, I love watching you lowly humans kill each other."

Tian Jian grinned with a twisted, excited expression, while Wang Linyang immediately knelt to the ground and submitted:

"I, Wang Linyang, am willing to join the Tianming Sect!"

"Wise choice. Come, swallow this Blood Chaos Pill—you're one of us now."

Tian Jian flipped his right hand, and a pill exuding a bloody stench appeared in his palm.

The Blood Chaos Pill is an essential pill for practicing the Divine Blood Secret Art.

If ingested by a psychic who hasn't practiced the Divine Blood Secret Art, it creates intense dependency!

And the one in his hand is the eighth-grade Blood Chaos Pill, tailored for Grand Masters!

Once ingested, if another dose isn't taken within ten days, the blood and qi will boil and cause the body to explode.

Before choosing to surrender, Wang Linyang knew the Tianming Sect must have corresponding control methods.

Thus, without hesitation, he swallowed the Blood Chaos Pill in one gulp.

"Excellent. You are now a member of the Tianming Sect.

Once you successfully cultivate the Divine Blood Secret Art, you will become our Red Robe Sect Leader."

Tian Jian smiled, then turned to the last person on the ground:

"Your companion has chosen to surrender. What is your answer?"

"Old Zhao, accept the Divine Son's offer—we have no choice."

Before Zhao Zhi could respond, Wang Linyang spoke up first to persuade him.

Like Fang Yuan, he had sensed the ninth-rank Martial Saint aura on the wild man's body.

If his guess was correct, all the powerful figures from various nations who entered the Yer Secret Realm would be purged.

Only by standing with the Tianming Sect could one escape this fate.

Zhao Zhi clearly saw this too; after Wang Linyang spoke, he no longer hesitated.

He, too, chose submission and swallowed the Blood Chaos Pill.

"Hahaha, excellent, excellent—our ranks are growing ever larger!

On the day we gather, you'll see your choice was right!"

With a joyous laugh, Tian Jian led the group onward to the next location.

There are those unafraid of death, and there are those terrified of it.

When they first entered the Yer Secret Realm, the Tianming Sect had only six members.

Now, that number had expanded to fourteen...

Boom—

Crackling—

Although the Yer Secret Realm has day and night, the weather remains eternally unchanged.

There are no rainy days, no thunderstorm days.

Yet now, in a certain location in the southwest of the realm, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Golden lightning danced wildly; the thunderclaps deafened the ears, turning the entire forest below into a sea of golden lightning.

About fifty to sixty meters above the forest canopy, Xu Jingming floated silently.

Bathed in lightning, he listened to the constant system prompts echoing in his mind.

"I really don't get it—why does an S-rank kill so many ferocious beasts?"

Eva's holographic projection, the twin-tailed little girl, hovered beside Xu Jingming.

She propped her chin on her hand, her cute face filled with confusion.

Xu Jingming's hatred for ferocious beasts seemed to have reached obsession.

High-rank ferocious beasts were one thing, but he didn't spare low-rank ones either—even those that couldn't yield beast materials.

Others entered the Yer Secret Realm to collect rare flowers and herbs; Xu Jingming, however, seemed to have come solely to hunt ferocious beasts...

As Xu Jingming maintained the release of the Ten Thousand Lei Tianlao Yin, a faint vibration suddenly pulsed from the space talisman stored against his body.

"Teacher Ling?" Xu Jingming's eyebrows lifted sharply.

The next moment,

the space before him suddenly split open a crack.

A slender figure wrapped in a silver battle suit stepped out from the space gate, her long, rounded legs moving gracefully.

The woman had an exquisite face, a tear mole at the corner of her eye, and a cold, alluring charm—none other than Ling Shuang, whom he had not seen in a long time.

"I've finally found you."

Seeing Xu Jingming, Ling Shuang exhaled in relief, then swayed over to him with a radiant smile:

"My ultra-long-range teleportation seems to have failed in this realm; the maximum distance I can teleport is only about fifty kilometers.

I was searching for rare flowers and herbs over there when I suddenly sensed your space talisman and teleported here."

"The Yer Realm was originally created by a space-type supreme expert.

Perhaps some space rules here are limiting the range of your teleportation, Ling Teacher."

"Still, this works fine—by splitting up, we can gather more rare flowers and herbs."

After so long apart, Xu Jingming naturally reached out and wrapped his arm around Ling Shuang's slender waist.

"True."

Ling Shuang nodded slightly, then added with a hint of pride:

"During this time, I've seized plenty of strong warriors from other nations—I've already collected 143.4 tons of rare flowers and herbs."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Jingming with a provocative gaze: "I wonder how many you've collected? Probably not as many as me, right?"

Space-type S-rank ability, naturally suited for ambushes and escapes.

Even the several S-rank eighth-rank elders couldn't catch her.

Thus, after entering the Yer Realm, she was like a fish in water—no one could suppress her.

She was confident her collection of rare flowers and herbs would surpass Xu Jingming's.

Crack—

Xu Jingming raised his sword-like brows and raised his hand...

"Why did you hit me?" Ling Shuang exclaimed, flustered.

"You provoked me first."

Xu Jingming grinned wickedly. "I merely gave you a slight punishment."

"A slight punishment?!"

Ling Shuang's eyes widened, indignant. "Don't forget—I'm still your teacher."

This guy Xu Jingming was respectful toward his teacher when they first got together.

But the more time passed, the more reckless he became.

Worse still, she truly couldn't beat the current Xu Jingming—she could only invoke her status as his teacher.

"Of course I haven't forgotten," Xu Jingming grinned. "Aren't I always respectfully calling you Ling Teacher?"

"You dare say that?" Ling Shuang shot him an exasperated glare.

Is that respect? I don't even want to expose you!

"By the way, how many rare flowers and herbs do you have?" Ling Shuang blinked curiously.

"Not much—just 472.4 tons." Xu Jingming said casually.

Four days had passed since his separation from Zhou Yu.

During these days, he had gathered even more rare flowers and herbs, hence this amount.

"472.4 tons? That much?"

Ling Shuang's glossy red lips parted slightly, her face filled with shock.

This quantity—even the S-rank eighth-rank elder Luo Lan of Great Xia probably couldn't reach it, could she?

"Lucky break—I caught a few strong warriors from Russia and the EU and looted them."

Xu Jingming explained with a smile.

"I see," Ling Shuang finally understood.

Of course—given Xu Jingming's strength and the protection of his Yuanjia, no one could touch him.

At this moment, the forest below had been nearly destroyed by Xu Jingming's SSS-rank technique, Wan Leitian Yin.

The system alert in his mind also began to slow.

After each hunt, Xu Jingming would check his system panel to see if he could allocate points to his level or ability.

This time was no exception.

A pale blue virtual panel appeared in his mind; he scanned only the most critical columns.

【Level】: Seventh-Rank Upper

【Ability】: Doushen Shenlei (SS-rank +)

【Ability Points】: 1,513,000
