Chapter 894: SSS Grade? Please, Elder Xu, Forgive Me!

"Won!"

"Incredible! No wonder he's Lei Di!"

"By the way, how did Lei Di's lightning ability turn black?"

"Who cares, as long as he won!"

"......"

As the host's voice fell, hundreds of millions of spectators in the stadium unleashed their cheers and applause without restraint.

No one had expected that Green still had a domain as a hidden card.

Even more surprising was that Xu Jingming also possessed a domain!

He gave Green not a single moment to breathe, crushing him outright.

"Won."

"Compared to Jingming, Green's strength is indeed inferior."

Su Qingli, Ling Shuang, and the other women felt no surprise at this.

After all, Xu Jingming had already stated beforehand that his win probability was as high as eighty percent.

While the audience cheered, the VIP lounge of Xinhuo Divine Temple sank into deathly silence.

Meng Ke and his sister stared blankly at the tall, upright figure on the arena below.

They couldn't understand why this native of the Third Civilization Era was so strong.

Bo Ke, a ninth-rank peak adept, also gazed at Xu Jingming's figure, his eyes flickering with unknown thoughts.

Hum—

A spatial ripple occurred; the defeated Green reentered the virtual world and was teleported to the VIP lounge.

Unlike the furious Meng Ke before, Green felt no anger—only boundless confusion.

Seeing this, Meng Ke and his sister dared not speak, for they knew any words now would be useless and possibly counterproductive.

"Teacher, I lost."

After taking a deep breath, Green approached Bo Ke, his once-proud head slightly bowed.

"You didn't rage or lose your temper after losing—that's better than Meng Ke."

Bo Ke turned his gaze away from Xu Jingming and looked at Green:

"Losing isn't the issue; you must understand why you lost.

Follow the old rule: analyze first, then solve. Give me your answer."

As a ninth-rank peak adept, Bo Ke had a proven method for teaching students.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be the one leading these three students in virtual-world challenge matches.

After a moment of thought, Green spoke slowly:

"Like me, Xu Jingming follows both the warrior and elemental master paths.

First, analyzing the warrior path: we both have form transformations.

But after transformation, his physical body is even stronger than mine.

I intended to win with my staff techniques, but I didn't expect his spear techniques had reached perfection.

He also knows more close-combat combat skills than I do."

He paused, then continued with serious eyes:

"As for the elemental master path, he is equally strong.

He possesses a top-tier elemental weapon and also has a domain.

All my advantages vanish before him.

He defeated me with just one combat technique.

My SSS-grade technique was blocked by his S-grade technique.

This proves his technique's power far exceeds mine."

Green then concluded:

"In short, whether warrior or elemental master, Xu Jingming completely overwhelms me.

To defeat him, I'd need even stronger physicality, a stronger domain, and higher mastery of combat techniques..."

After hearing this summary, Meng Ke and his sister felt their scalps tingle.

Among the many prodigies of Xinhuo Divine Temple, Green's strength was unquestionably among the top five.

Yet before Xu Jingming, he showed only this level of performance—how strong was Xu Jingming really?

Remember, Xu Jingming's rank was even one level lower than Green's!

"Complete overwhelming dominance, Green—you're correct in your summary."

Bo Ke nodded, sighing:

"I never expected such a prodigy to exist in an era where Yuan energy has just begun to revive."

"By the way, did you confirm the nature of Xu Jingming's ability transformation?"

After his sigh, Bo Ke asked.

Green hesitated, then replied cautiously:

"Xu Jingming's ability is extremely powerful—it's not just SSS-grade, at least SS+, possibly even... SSS-grade!"

"SSS-grade?"

Bo Ke's pupils shrank sharply; Meng Ke and his sister also looked stunned.

SSS-grade ability awakeners were as rare as phoenix feathers in their Jin Nation.

"Regardless of whether it's true or not, we must do everything we can to recruit Xu Jingming.

When you meet him later, answer all his questions—unless they involve deeply secret information."

After taking a deep breath, Bo Ke regained his composure and gave his orders.

"Aren't you coming with us to meet Xu Jingming?" Meng Yu asked, surprised.

"This is a young person's exchange—I won't join.

Besides, the teleportation channel has just reported that the High Priest is nearly here.

I need to contact the rulers of this era and arrange a meeting."

Bo Ke explained briefly, then added again:

"Remember, when you meet him, lower your posture.

Especially you, Meng Ke—find a way to erase the bad impression you left on him."

"Understood." Meng Ke forced a smile worse than crying.

If I'd known this guy was even stronger than Green, I never would've been so arrogant before...

On the other side,

Xu Jingming had just returned to the VIP lounge from the arena when he received a friend request with the note: "Xinhuo Divine Temple, Meng Yu."

"Here it comes—now I'll finally find out their purpose."

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up, and he accepted the friend request.

Immediately after, a teleportation invitation arrived.

Xu Jingming informed Su Qingli and the others, then accepted it.

Hum—

Xu Jingming's figure vanished from his spot and reappeared in a luxurious reception hall.

About three to four meters across from him, Green, Meng Ke, and Meng Yu waited.

Seeing Xu Jingming arrive, Meng Yu exhaled softly and spoke first, respectfully:

"Welcome, Elder Xu. As you requested, we will reveal the purpose of our visit."

Though Meng Yu was a sixth-rank peak adept who had defeated numerous Blue Star prodigies like Catherine and Su Yu,

before the eighth-rank Xu Jingming, she still addressed him as "Elder."

After Meng Yu, Meng Ke bowed respectfully next:

"Elder Xu, I was disrespectful earlier—please forgive me, Elder Xu."

As a seventh-rank peak master, he normally looked down on even ordinary A-rank eighth-rank grand masters, let alone an eighth-rank lower-tier adept.

But Xu Jingming was no ordinary eighth-rank lower-tier—he was stronger than Green,

and Master Bo Ke had specifically instructed him to erase his bad impression, so he, like his sister, addressed Xu Jingming as "Elder."

"So? You've finally conceded?" Xu Jingming looked at him.

"Conceded! Completely conceded!"

Meng Ke raised his right hand dramatically, "Elder Xu, your divine might is unmatched. Yesterday I was childish and arrogant.

I swear, if anyone dares to be insolent before you, I'll be the first to slap their face!"
