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

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

Firelight Divine Palace, internal zone.

The Moonshadow Divine Official reported to the elegant figure above the steps with reverent expression.

"Hmm, I've already watched his clearance video."

A melodious voice echoed from Elmes: "In terms of potential, he is stronger than Alan."

"Yes."

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

"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, to the Moonshadow Divine Official's eyes, there was a great difference between them.

The former barely passed after exhausting all efforts and multiple attempts.

The latter cleared it effortlessly in a single try.

If one had to summarize it in a single sentence:

Alan cleared it because he could only manage the ninth level.

Xu Jingming cleared it because the trial only had nine levels.

This does not mean Alan's talent is inferior—it's just that Xu Jingming is 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 eighth-rank.

"Do not regret it."

Elmes's crimson lips moved slightly, and her crisp voice rang out again:

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

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

As the former Aurora-level and also an SSS-tier psychic awakening,

the Priestess rarely gave such high praise to anyone.

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

"After the rating, Lord Lei Ding and Lord Ers will act immediately—should we move now?"

"No."

Elmes shook her head. "From Xu Jingming's attitude toward Greater Xia, he will not wish to join the two dominant clans with their strict constraints."

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

"Your disciple understands." The Moonshadow Divine Official nodded.

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

The Void-Piercing 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 Elmes's 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 main 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?"

"Tsk tsk, their technological progress over the years must have been tremendous."

"Oh? 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 parlor.

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

"They're really Goldflow Guards?"

"Twenty per floating island—how many are there in the entire Firelight World?"

Su Qingli and Ling Shuang both showed expressions of astonishment.

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

These twenty Goldflow Guards are twenty nearly unkillable eighth-rank Masters.

On Blue Star, such a force could easily sweep away weaker nations.

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

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

Swish—

A massive holographic projection appeared before them.

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

Hanging on this starry sky were five planets, each of a different color.

Each planet represented a different category.

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

Xu Jingming did not hesitate—he immediately ordered Eva to enter the "Combat Techniques" section.

Whoosh—

The scene shifted, and a list appeared before his eyes.

It was densely packed, lined with all manner of combat arts.

"Blood Aegis (SSR-grade): A defensive combat art that condenses Qi and blood into a shielding aura, forming a body-protecting defense.

Requirements: Radiance-grade clearance, Enhancement-type ability of S-grade or above, Qi and Blood Domain Second Layer. Price: 2,000,000 Void Stones.

Void-Severing Slash (SSR-grade): A saber-type combat art that gathers the body's Qi and blood to deliver a single strike capable of shattering the void.

Requirements: Radiance-grade clearance, Enhancement-type ability of S-grade or above, Qi and Blood Domain Third Layer. Price: 2,300,000 Void Stones.

Swimming Dragon Body Art (SSR-grade): A movement-type combat art that greatly enhances agility.

Requirements: Radiance-grade clearance, Enhancement-type ability of S-grade or above, Qi and Blood Domain Third Layer. Price: 3,000,000 Void Stones.

......"

The combat arts on the list were arranged by grade, and the first to catch the eye were the SSR-grade combat arts.

"So these are SSR-grade combat arts?"

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly examined them closely.

Su Qingli and Hearing Ling Shuang beside him looked over with equal curiosity.

The Fire Spark Temple truly lived up to its reputation as a faction that carried on the peak legacy of the Second Civilization era.

There were well over forty SSR-grade combat arts alone.

Most of them were Enhancement-type and Element-type; Spirit-type and other categories were far fewer in number.

This was only natural, after all—ninth-rank ability users were predominantly Enhancement-type and Element-type to begin with.

With that base population, the Supreme powerhouses who created SSR-grade combat arts were naturally mostly ability users of those two types as well.

After roughly browsing through all the SSR-grade combat arts, Xu Jingming quickly spotted two Lightning-type SSR-grade combat arts.

"Thunder Howl Thousand-Blade Kill (SSR-grade): A Lightning-type offensive combat art that condenses lightning into a thousand blades, bombarding enemies from afar.

Requirements: Radiance-grade clearance, Lightning-type ability of S-grade or above, Lightning Domain Third Layer. Price: 3,000,000 Void Stones.

Star Radiance Lei Gang (SSR-grade): A Lightning-type defensive combat art that condenses lightning to form an extremely powerful body-protecting Lei Gang.

Requirements: Radiance-grade clearance, Lightning-type ability of S-grade or above, Lightning Domain Third Layer. Price: 3,100,000 Void Stones."

"There are actually two Lightning-type SSR-grade combat arts, and they're different types as well."

Xu Jingming's face brightened with joy.

Lightning-type Supreme powerhouses were rare to begin with, and most of their legacies had been lost to the passage of time.

He had thought it would be good fortune to obtain even a single SSR-grade combat art at the Fire Spark Temple.

But he hadn't expected to find two!
