Chapter 861: The Two Women's Shock! Escape!

After this, I'm not leaving anymore.

Facing Song Qiuyun's question, Xu Jingming smiled and said, "I've been appointed as the Shanghai Patrol Master of Thunder Martial Arts Academy; Shanghai will be my base from now on."

"Shanghai Patrol Master?!" Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan were stunned.

Keep in mind,

Thunder Martial Arts Academy is one of the two top martial arts academies in Daya, and every branch's head possesses extraordinary strength.

Especially in critical regions like Shanghai, the regional leader must be at least an Eighth-Rank Grand Master!

They were also well aware of Thunder Martial Arts Academy's hierarchy: the Shanghai Patrol Master oversees Shanghai, Jiangsu Province, and Suzhou-Hangzhou Province.

The power is absurdly immense!

Even Song's family at its peak would treat the Shanghai Patrol Master with utmost respect.

"But isn't this position reserved for someone at least at peak Eighth-Rank Grand Master level?"

Jiang Chuxuan finally recovered from her shock and asked in confusion.

Three years ago, she had just entered Shanghai Institute of Supernatural Studies.

At that time, the Shanghai Patrol Master had just been reported dead, causing a huge sensation.

News outlets covered it continuously for three or four days—I remember it vividly.

"Peak Eighth-Rank Grand Master? To Jingming, such a person is nothing more than a single Thunder Spell away."

Ling Shuang gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled.

"Jingming's current combat power is comparable to that of a Class-A Ninth-Rank Martial Saint."

"What? A Ninth-Rank Martial Saint?!"

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan were plunged into overwhelming shock.

A Ninth-Rank Martial Saint?

What does that even mean?

Including the Chairman, Daya has only 41 legislators total!

"So does that mean you're now one of those dozen or so individuals in Daya with legislator-level power?"

Song Qiuyun murmured.

"It's not that extreme."

Xu Jingming smiled and said, "Our Daya must still have some strong individuals who haven't reached the ninth tier but possess A-level ninth-tier power. My strength should rank within the top hundred in all of Daya."

In reality, this was already a conservative estimate; based on Daya's publicly known strength, he could easily rank within the top sixty.

In fact, this is already a conservative estimate; based on Daya's official strength, he should rank at least within the top sixty.

"Top one hundred?" Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu were momentarily stunned.

As an orphan, her greatest dream upon entering Shanghai had been to become a Seventh-Rank Grand Master after graduation.

Yet she never imagined that before even graduating, her man had already joined the elite at the very pinnacle of Daya...

Yet she hadn't even graduated from university, and her man had already become one of the elite at the very pinnacle of Daya...

Xu Jingming briefly explained the Yer Realm's situation, including his SSS-rank ability.

"SSS-rank ability?" Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan were stunned again.

"SSS-class ability?" Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu were stunned again.

In the entire 200-year history of Yuan Energy Rebirth, only one or two SSS-rank abilities had ever appeared.

Who could have imagined that Xu Jingming's ability would evolve to this level!

After a long while, Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chuxuan processed the news and recovered, then voiced their concern:

"You killed so many members of the Fate Cult this time—what if they retaliate?"

"Neither I nor Teacher Ling have anything to worry about—it's you two we're concerned about."

Xu Jingming pondered, "The academy has arranged a highly secure villa district just for us. Once my aunt arrives, we'll all move in together."

"Alright." The two women clearly understood the gravity of the situation and nodded in unison.

"The Fate Cult's influence in Daya isn't strong; with the academy's protection, you don't need to worry too much."

Seeing their tension, Xu Jingming offered a bit of reassurance before adding:

"Also, you can pause your courses at Shanghai University. I've arranged for Eighth-Rank instructors to come directly to the villa to teach you."

Their current teachers at Shanghai University were quite impressive—one was the Dean of the Element College, a Seventh-Rank Peak, and the other was the Vice Dean, a Seventh-Rank Upper.

But compared to Shanghai University's standards, for someone like Xu Jingming, Seventh-Rank was no longer particularly impressive.

Eighth-Rank, even Eighth-Rank Middle or Upper, would be the ideal mentors for the two women.

With his current strength and status, finding two such instructors for them in Shanghai wouldn't be difficult.

"Have Eighth-Rank Grand Masters come to the villa to teach us?"

But that's relative to Magic University; for someone like Xu Jingming, seventh-rank is no longer particularly impressive.

Students always go to their teachers—how could teachers come to students?

Given his current strength and status, finding two such teachers for the two women in Magic City isn't particularly difficult.

But remembering Xu Jingming's current status, the two women felt this wasn't so strange after all...

Song Qiuyun and Jiang Chu exchanged a glance, both reading the shock in each other's eyes.

He also took time to visit Shanghai University, had a drink with Professor Yang Zhentian, and met with the members of the Deep Blue Club.

Undeniably, they were incredibly enthusiastic—he spent over two hours signing autographs before leaving.

Yet thinking of Xu Jingming's current status, the two women felt this wasn't so surprising...

In the freezing southernmost reaches of Antarctica, the light was dim, and the entire ice plain lay in utter silence.

Yet above the ice, a hazy realm was steadily seeping into this space.

Undeniably, these people were extremely enthusiastic; Xu Jingming spent over two hours signing autographs before leaving.

But that hazy realm still remained separated from the real world by a barrier.

At the southernmost tip of Blue Planet, in the frigid lands of Antarctica, light was dim and the entire ice plain lay utterly silent.

Suddenly, a loud boom shattered the already fractured space!

Above the entire ice plain, countless spatial fissures filled the sky.

"Hahaha! The High Priest's prophecy was right! We've finally returned from the spatial chaos!!"

A brilliant streak of emerald light shot across the sky, accompanied by laughter, as a young man emerged from the spatial passage.

With a loud boom, the space, already riddled with fissures, was violently torn apart!

Five more brilliant streaks flashed, and five more figures stepped out of the portal.

The six individuals wore different battle uniforms, each radiating formidable energy.

A brilliant emerald streak shot across, accompanied by loud laughter, as a young man emerged from a spatial passage.

A low voice spoke, and one man flipped his hand, producing a metallic sphere that he promptly tossed into the air.

Five more brilliant streaks flashed, and five more figures stepped out of the spatial passage.

"Information collection complete: Nitrogen content 78%, oxygen content 21%, rare gases 0. 4%..."

"Atmospheric data collected, conforms to Blue Planet standards. Proceeding with energy concentration analysis..."

"Energy concentration analysis complete: Yuan Energy concentration 31%, Ice Element concentration 45%, Water Element concentration..."

"Collecting atmospheric data..."

Virtual beams of light shot from the hovering metallic sphere, continuously gathering and analyzing data.

"Atmospheric data collection complete. Meets Blue Planet standards. Proceeding with energy concentration analysis..."

"Analysis of atmospheric and energy data indicates a 97% probability this is the Blue Planet, 3% probability an unknown planet."

"We've truly returned! I knew the High Priest's prophecy couldn't be wrong!!"

Virtual beams of light shot from the floating metal sphere, continuously gathering and analyzing data.

The remaining individuals were equally excited, and their leader nodded solemnly:

"Since our return is confirmed, proceed with the plan. According to the High Priest's prophecy, the Blue Planet should have developed a new civilization by now."

"Then I'll take my leave first—I can't wait to see the strong ones from this civilization!"

Meng Ke grinned mischievously, leaping dozens of meters into the air.

Mid-flight, his body transformed violently, sprouting grotesque bony wings.

With a powerful flap, he sent a whirlwind of snow and ice surging as he blasted away.

According to the High Priest's prophecy, Blue Planet should have already developed a new civilization.

"Then I'll go ahead—I can't wait to meet the strong ones of this civilization!"

The remaining four split into two pairs, flying off in different directions.

Soon, the ice plain returned to its original stillness, leaving only the hazy realm drifting within the fractured space...

With a powerful flap of its wings, snow and ice surged, and it blasted away instantly.

Immediately after, another person took to the air and followed after.

"Let's go too."

The remaining four also paired off in twos, flying off in different directions.

Soon, the entire ice plain returned to its original stillness, leaving only a hazy space drifting within the spatial rift...
