Chapter 903: Amos Was Astonished! The Unseeable Future!
As Xu Jingming was lost in those eyes, fragments of images reflected in Amos's eyes.
Awakening of ability, college entrance exam, wilderness zone, Freshman Competition...
The past images flashed rapidly; Amos saw Xu Jingming's past through the Eye of Fate.
The images kept flickering, soon syncing to the fragments she had observed when he entered the temple.
But when she tried to see further into Xu Jingming's future, the previous fragments suddenly turned black, becoming chaotic.
"Hm? I can't see his future?"
Amos's delicate eyebrows lifted slightly, her fair face showing a hint of astonishment.
Keep in mind that
Her Eye of Fate was an SSS-grade ability!
Even when facing peers of the same level, she could briefly glimpse fragments of their futures.
This situation with Xu Jingming was unprecedented.
"High Priestess, is something wrong?"
Xu Jingming, now free from the influence of the Eye of Fate, spoke up.
Meanwhile, the Moon Shadow Priestess, watching this, looked slightly surprised.
The High Priestess's Eye of Fate exerted immense pressure.
Even ordinary ninth-rank ability users needed several moments to adjust upon first encountering it.
Yet Xu Jingming had adapted so quickly.
"Your future is chaotic; I cannot see it."
Amos shook her head softly, "As for your past, I found nothing unusual."
"Cannot see it?"
Xu Jingming was surprised; he hadn't expected this outcome.
Not finding anything unusual in his past meant Amos had not seen his past-life memories.
"What I see through the Eye of Fate is merely one possibility of the future.
I had intended to offer advice based on the future I saw, but now it seems impossible."
High Priestess Amos rewrapped her eyes with silk ribbons, those beautiful amber eyes vanishing from view:
"But for you, this isn't bad news—it likely means your future achievements are beyond even my prediction."
"Thank you, High Priestess," Xu Jingming said quickly.
He didn't know whether it was because of his system or whether Amos truly couldn't see his future.
But not seeing it didn't matter; with Deep Blue, he would sweep away all enemies.
"Hmm." Amos nodded slightly, "Moon Shadow, take him for his Core Member rating certification."
"Yes, Teacher."
The Moon Shadow Priestess led Xu Jingming away respectfully.
"A person whose future cannot be predicted..."
On the ornate chair, Amos silently watched Xu Jingming's retreating figure.
About herself, other supreme beings, even the entire Blue Star's humanity,
she had once used the Eye of Fate to predict.
But the result was always the same: destroyed by the Molten Colossus.
Moreover, the Molten Colossus's emergence node came earlier than in either of the two previous civilizations!
She couldn't see the exact time, but it certainly wouldn't be a hundred years from now.
It could be twenty years, ten years, or even the next moment.
Everything... cannot be predicted...
"I hope your appearance brings some variance to the future."
Long after, Amos finally withdrew her gaze and sighed softly.
As the possessor of the Eye of Fate who could see the future, her burden far exceeded that of ordinary supreme beings.
"Before your ability evolved, it was S-rank 'Doushen Shenlei.'
In the First Civilization, a supreme being named Lei Shen possessed the same ability.
In our Firekeeping Temple, we hold a record of his SSS-grade movement technique: 'Hei Shan Lei Dunfa.'
After you pass the certification, you may learn it."
As they left the hall and walked toward the outer area, the Moon Shadow Priestess smiled.
"SSS-grade movement technique of the lightning element?" Xu Jingming's eyes lit up instantly.
Movement techniques are crucial for both close combat and ranged attacks.
A good movement technique can even turn the tide of battle!
But lightning-element movement techniques are extremely rare; previously, he had only learned an S+ rank illusionary step called 'Huanlei Bu.'
And since he had already maxed out Huanlei Bu, which was no worse than an SS-grade movement technique, he hadn't wasted ability points to learn an SS-grade one.
Now, unexpectedly, he had the chance to learn an SSS-grade movement technique—also from Lei Shen!
"By the way, our Second Civilization once left behind Lei Shen's legacy on the Blue Star.
But the AI responsible for managing it has gone offline; otherwise, we could have given you that legacy too."
The Moon Shadow Priestess smiled.
His attitude was extremely friendly, showing not the slightest arrogance of a ninth-rank peak ability user.
Of course, this likely also had to do with Xu Jingming's astonishing performance before Amos.
"That inheritance is with me," Xu Jingming replied.
As for the artificial intelligence mentioned by the Moonshadow Divine Official, it must be Big Eva.
"Oh? With you? Then that's good."
The Moonshadow Divine Official smiled and nodded, "I have a Rank Nine Upper S-Class Lightning System Law Saint in the Firebrand Divine Temple.
He too has studied this 'Lightning Dash Technique.' If you wish, I can introduce you to him.
Let him teach you some cultivation techniques so you can quickly master this combat skill."
Xu Jingming fell silent for a moment, then finally shook his head:
"Thank you for your kindness, Divine Official, but I do not need guidance from others for now."
One does not accept rewards without merit.
He did not wish to owe someone a favor without cause.
More importantly, learning an SSS-grade body technique is not difficult.
With his current experience in Lightning-based combat techniques, he should be able to grasp the basics of this skill in just a few hours.
After that, he could simply use the system to allocate points.
Upon hearing this, the Moonshadow Divine Official frowned slightly.
It is normal for prodigies to be proud, but mastering an SSS-grade combat technique without a master's guidance is extremely difficult.
Xu Jingming's actions were undoubtedly an extreme display of self-confidence.
Never mind. When he truly obtains this technique and hits a wall, it won't be too late.
Thinking this, he relaxed his brow and said:
"Very well. If you encounter difficulties in cultivating this technique later, come find me—I'll introduce you."
At these words, Xu Jingming was slightly surprised.
He had not expected this Rank Nine Peak Moonshadow Divine Official to be so amiable, so he bowed respectfully:
"Thank you for your consideration, Divine Official."
"No need. Let's go."
The Moonshadow Divine Official waved his hand.
After leaving the inner zone, the Moonshadow Divine Official seemed to have received some news and needed to depart temporarily.
Thus, Meng Yu once again led Xu Jingming and the other two toward the location where core members of the Firebrand Divine Temple undergo evaluation and certification.
