Chapter 912: Divine Palace Internal Network! Lightning-Type SSR Combat Technique!

"Teacher, Xu Jingming has passed the trial and obtained Aurora-level access rights."

Inside the Xinhuo Divine Palace, inner zone.

Moonshadow Divine Official reported to the elegant figure above the steps with respectful demeanor.

"Mm, I've already watched his Tongguan video."

A melodious voice from Aemers spoke, "In terms of potential, he is stronger than Alan."

"Yes."

Moonshadow Divine Official nodded, "The ninth level trial did not even touch Xu Jingming's limit."

"Pity—if we had higher-level trials, we might see more of Xu Jingming's potential."

Two Aurora-levels: Alan and Xu Jingming.

Though both passed the ninth level trial, in Moonshadow Divine Official's eyes, there was a great difference between them.

The former barely passed the ninth level trial after exhausting all efforts and multiple attempts.

The latter passed it effortlessly in one attempt.

If one had to summarize it in a single sentence:

Alan passed because he could only manage to beat the ninth level.

Xu Jingming passed because the trial only had nine levels.

This does not mean Alan's talent is inferior—it means Xu Jingming is simply too monstrous.

Of course,

In terms of actual strength, Alan still holds the upper hand.

After all, Alan is already thirty years old and has reached the peak of the eighth rank.

"Do not regret it."

Aemers' crimson lips moved slightly, her clear voice sounding again:

"Time will prove everything. I believe he will give me a surprise."

Upon hearing this, Moonshadow Divine Official's heart tightened instantly.

As the former Aurora-level and also an SSS-tier ability awakener,

the High Priestess rarely gave such high praise to anyone.

Thinking of this, Moonshadow Divine Official could not help but speak:

"After the rating, Lord Leiding and Lord Es will act immediately—should we move now?"

"No."

Aemers shook her head, "From Xu Jingming's attitude toward Great Xia, he will not wish to join the two powerful families with such strict constraints.

Observe for a few more days. After the Breakthrough Tower matter concludes, I will personally take him as my disciple."

"Disciple understands." Moonshadow Divine Official nodded.

As he respectfully withdrew, he could not help but silently marvel.

The Breakthrough Tower matter will end in at most two or three months.

That means, as long as Xu Jingming shows no major issues, in three months his teacher will take him as a disciple.

And back then, to become Aemers' student, he had struggled for four or five years...

On the other side,

Upon entering the villa, Xu Jingming quickly passed identity verification and gained control authority over the No. 3 Floating Island's AI.

Of course, the main AI was soon taken over by Eva.

"Huh? This floating island can actually fly and move? Maximum speed exceeds one hundred meters per second?

Hmm, it seems their technological progress over the years has indeed been tremendous.

Wow, even the cleaning staff are Goldflow Guards—luxurious, extremely luxurious."

The little girl Eva's exclamations kept sounding.

Under her control, twenty Goldflow Guards entered the villa's living room.

They bowed respectfully to Xu Jingming and the others: "Master."

"These are really Goldflow Guards?"

"Twenty on a single floating island—how many are there in the entire Xinhuo World?"

Su Qingli and Ling Shuang both showed expressions of astonishment.

Goldflow Guards, due to their liquid-metal properties, are even stronger than ordinary seventh-rank Masters!

These twenty Goldflow Guards are twenty seventh-rank Masters nearly impossible to kill.

If placed on Blue Star, this force alone could sweep away some weaker nations.

"After all, this is the residence of an Aurora-level member—slightly higher configuration is normal."

Xu Jingming smiled, then ordered: "Eva, access the internal network of the Xinhuo Divine Palace."

Swish—

A massive holographic projection appeared before them.

It was a virtual interface with a starry sky as its background.

Hanging in the starry sky were five planets, each of a different color.

Each planet represented a different category.

They were: "Combat Techniques," "Equipment," "Resources," "Quests," and "Forum."

Without hesitation, Xu Jingming instructed Eva to enter the "Combat Techniques" category.

Whoosh—

The screen shifted, revealing a list before them.

It was densely packed with various combat techniques.

"Body Blood Shield (SSR-level): Defensive combat technique. Condense blood qi into a protective aura to form a defensive barrier.

Requirements: Radiant-level access rights, S-rank or higher Enhancement-type ability, Blood Qi Domain Level Two. Price: 2 million Void Stones.

Breakthrough Slash (SSR-level): Sword technique. Concentrate all blood qi to unleash a strike that shatters space.

Requirements: Radiant-level access rights, S-rank or higher Enhancement-type ability, Blood Qi Domain Level Three. Price: 2. million Void Stones.

Soaring Dragon Movement (SSR-level): Movement technique. Greatly increases agility.

Requirements: Radiant-level access rights, S-rank or higher Enhancement-type ability, Blood Qi Domain Level Three. Price: 3 million Void Stones.

......"

The combat techniques on the list were arranged by rank, and the first to catch the eye were the SSR-level techniques.

"These are SSR-level combat techniques?"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up as he quickly examined them closely.

Su Qingli and Ling Shuang beside him also looked curiously.

The Xinhuo Divine Palace was indeed a force preserving the peak legacy of the Second Civilization Era.

Alone, it possessed over forty SSR-level combat techniques.

Most were Enhancement-type and Elemental-type; Spiritual-type and other categories were far fewer.

This was natural—after all, ninth-rank ability users were predominantly Enhancement-type and Elemental-type.

With such a large base, the strongest creators of SSR-level techniques were naturally mostly from these two types.

After briefly scanning all SSR-level combat techniques, Xu Jingming quickly found two Lightning-type SSR-level techniques.

"Thunder Roar Thousand Blades (SSR-level): Lightning-type offensive technique. Condense lightning into a thousand blades to launch a long-range assault.

Requirements: Radiant-level access rights, S-rank or higher Lightning-type ability, Lightning Domain Level Three. Price: 3 million Void Stones.

Starlight Lightning Shield (SSR-level): Lightning-type defensive technique. Condense lightning into an extremely resilient protective lightning shield.

Requirements: Radiant-level access rights, S-rank or higher Lightning-type ability, Lightning Domain Level Three. Price: 3. million Void Stones."

"There are two Lightning-type SSR-level combat techniques—and of different types."

Xu Jingming's expression brightened.

Lightning-type supreme beings were rare, and most of their legacies had been lost to time.

He had thought it would be enough just to obtain one SSR-level technique from the Xinhuo Divine Palace.

Yet he had never expected to find two!
