Chapter 890: Scarce Psychic Points! Six Hundred Million Viewers!

Source Water Wasteland Zone.

On the rooftop of an abandoned building, icy winds howled, and the bright moon hung high.

Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the rooftop, above his head a cold and furious expanse of black thunder-sea!

Crackling—

Under his control, the Chaotic Divine Thunder surged like a gale one moment, then coalesced into liquid thunder-balls the next.

Its terrifying power radiated outward, causing all ferocious beasts within dozens of li to tremble and flee in panic.

Any psychics approaching this area likewise feared some monstrous beast lurked within and chose to detour.

After more than ten minutes, the torrent of black lightning finally retracted entirely into Xu Jingming's body.

"My psychic ability has evolved from SS to SSS, becoming harder to control."

"But fortunately, it's still at the liquid state—my proficiency hasn't dropped much."

Xu Jingming thought silently.

After learning from Teacher Su Qingli about the importance of domains, he came to this wasteland zone to verify his psychic proficiency.

"Deep Blue."

He mentally whispered, and the familiar pale blue system interface appeared in his mind.

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Level】: Eighth Tier Lower

【Psychic Ability】: Chaotic Divine Thunder (SSS)

【Physique】: Blood Qi (+)

【Spirit】: He (+)

【Skills】: Spear Technique (Perfected), Fist Technique (Master+), Heavenly Thunder Divine Punishment Sword (SSS, Master+), Thunder-Star Spear (SSS, Master+)......

【Body Cultivation】: Divine Thunder Blood Demon Body (SSS, Ninth Stage)

【Spirit Cultivation】: Thunder Sea Contemplation Method (SSS, Fifth Stage)

【Domain】: Thunder Domain (First Stage)

【Psychic Points】: 714, 00

Although the system interface still showed over 700, 00 psychic points, he could not allocate them to anything except combat techniques and basic attributes.

As for basic attributes, he didn't know whether it was because he had already surpassed the 100, 00 threshold.

Now, every 100 psychic points only granted one attribute point.

700, 00 psychic points could at most add 7, 00 attribute points.

In the past, 7, 00 attribute points would have been considerable.

But for Xu Jingming, whose attributes surged by 30, 00 with each tier breakthrough,

these psychic points were better saved for leveling up than for attribute allocation.

"Raising the Thunder Domain also seems difficult."

Xu Jingming mused inwardly.

Upon reflection, the plus signs appearing after his domains had always emerged only after reaching one million psychic points.

"I still don't have enough psychic points. Once I understand the Second Civilization Era, I'll return to the wasteland zone immediately."

Xu Jingming exhaled lightly.

He couldn't return to the Dayangzhou Wasteland Zone for now.

As for other wasteland zones, the efficiency of harvesting psychic points would inevitably decline, but it was still acceptable.

"By the way, Eva, how are the Iron-Thread Lotus and Purple Blood Vine growing?"

Xu Jingming asked aloud.

These two top-tier plant lives had remained in Modu since before his trip to Dayangzhou Wasteland, absorbing Plant Holy Water for over a month.

"They've reached Eighth Tier Peak. In another twenty days, they'll break into Ninth Tier."

Eva's clear, melodious voice echoed in his mind.

"Twenty days? That's soon."

Xu Jingming felt anticipation.

Top-tier plant lives were comparable to S-rank psychic awakeners.

With two Ninth Tier S-rank fighters at his disposal, he could accomplish far more.

All he needed was for Hu Jinyu to be pushed out.

"That old scoundrel has annoyed me since the day I joined Thunder Martial Hall."

"I'll give you a little more time—I'll settle accounts with you later."

Xu Jingming's gaze turned icy.

Honestly, he had little interest in controlling Thunder Martial Hall.

But Su Qingli was his teacher—he would never allow someone like Hu Jinyu to disrupt her.

Once Hu Jinyu was removed, Thunder Martial Hall would finally be at peace.

As for the Li family, with three councilors in one clan, if they would just abandon their decades-long schemes, that would be best.

If not, Xu Jingming had no qualms about adding them to his list of enemies.

"S-rank, the match starts in half an hour—should we head back now?"

Eva's voice echoed in his mind.

"Already?"

Xu Jingming raised his swordlike brows. "Then let's go—let's see what tricks this Second Civilization Era prodigy has."

Flash—

Space shimmered, and Xu Jingming's towering figure vanished from the rooftop.

Since acquiring the Space Beast Bone, traveling anywhere had become far more convenient...

On this day, Green on the Eighth Tier ranking had two matches.

One was at 9 p. . against Xu Jingming; the other was at noon, against Star Martial Saint.

Star Martial Saint hailed from the EU and held some international renown.

Before the match, many believed Star Martial Saint would win—but no one expected Green to emerge victorious.

As a result, Green's fame instantly rose another tier.

Consequently, tonight's match drew even more attention.

Thus, at 8: 0 p. . half an hour before the match officially began—

the number of online viewers in the virtual world stadium had surpassed 600 million and was still rising rapidly!

"Welcome, viewers, to tonight's match!

The contestants are Xu Jingming, known as the First Prodigy of Blue Star, from Great Xia,

and Green, from the Ember Divine Temple, who has defeated five Ninth Tier experts in a row!

To enhance your viewing experience, we've specially invited Jones, a Ninth Tier Peak councilor from the United States, as our commentator..."

Unlike the last match, this one featured a dedicated host and commentator.

When the audience heard a Ninth Tier Peak councilor would be speaking, the entire stadium erupted.

Someone of this caliber usually only appeared in news reports—no one expected to hear his commentary live!

"The martial and technological development of the Third Civilization Era is inferior to ours.

I don't understand how they managed to create a global virtual world that even our Jin Nation couldn't achieve."

In the VIP lounge of the Ember Divine Temple,

Green, Meng Ke, Meng Yu, and others had already arrived; the Ninth Tier Peak instructor Boke was also present.

The one who voiced the question was Meng Ke, previously defeated by Xu Jingming.

"Any civilization that rises has its unique strengths.

The virtual world is merely one of them—don't look down on them with arrogance."

Boke said gravely, "In terms of sensory simulation, the virtual world has reached 100% fidelity.

But its simulation of psychic abilities still falls short—it cannot replicate the exact aura of the real world, though it's very close."

He paused, then added, "When the match begins, pay close attention to sense Xu Jingming's psychic ability and determine its rank.

Especially you, Green—your perception as his opponent is most crucial."

"Understood."

Everyone, including Green, nodded.
