Chapter 915

Less than two minutes after Lei Ding left, Xu Jingming encountered another Supreme, Ers.

Unlike the burly Lei Ding, Ers, who possessed a强化系SS-level ability, was tall and slender.

He was extremely handsome, with a faint smile on his face, appearing utterly serene.

"You should know that my Ers family has never yet produced a single Radiance-level cultivator."

"Join my family, and you'll receive better treatment than Allen—anything you want, the family will fully support."

Ers laid out his terms immediately: "I've already heard about your dealings with the Lei family just now."

"Don't worry about the Lightning System Law Saint—I'll resolve it for you."

"Of course, at critical moments, I'll need you to serve the Ers family."

As a Supreme, Ers undeniably radiated an extremely powerful and lethal aura.

Yet he lacked Lei Ding's domineering presence and conveyed no hint of threat—instead, he seemed to be trying to help Xu Jingming out.

"Sorry, I have no intention of joining a family for now," Xu Jingming likewise declined.

Leaving other matters aside, the requirement to serve the Ers family alone was unacceptable to him.

"I see you have your own thoughts."

Ers smiled, "But it doesn't matter—Ers family's door remains forever open to you."

"If one day you change your mind, feel free to contact me anytime."

Swish—

Ers's figure blurred and vanished instantly from the villa's living room.

"Phew, finally gone."

"These Supremes—even when suppressing their pressure—still make one restless."

Ling Shuang exhaled softly on the sofa.

She lazily stretched, her battle suit instantly tightening, outlining her alluring figure.

"This Supreme's attitude is much better than the last one's."

Su Qingli also relaxed, her clear, large eyes curiously fixed on Xu Jingming:

"So your final choice will be my lord Amos, then?"

"Not necessarily."

Xu Jingming shook his head, "My lord Amos is a Supreme, but she can at most guide me in spiritual force cultivation."

"She can't teach me much about Lightning System abilities."

"Besides, the Divine Temple's internal network has a combat technique library—I don't need others to teach me; I can learn on my own."

If anyone else claimed they could learn combat techniques independently without instruction, Su Qingli would have scoffed.

But Xu Jingming? He truly had that ability!

"The Ember Temple's influence is immense."

"If my lord Amos truly wants to take you as her disciple and hasn't imposed any restrictions, I think you should accept her offer."

After a moment's thought, Su Qingli spoke up:

"Forget other things—if you become my lord Amos's disciple,

you won't need to worry about the Void Stone issue to access the Ember Temple's internal network's Lightning System SSR-level combat techniques."

Even when Xu Jingming was still at the seventh stage, Su Qingli had already felt there was nothing left she could teach him.

In fact, he had even taught her the SSS-level Spirit Refining Art and SSS-level combat techniques.

Now that there was a chance of a Supreme recruiting him, she naturally hoped he would accept.

"Alright, I understand," Xu Jingming nodded.

Indeed,

having a Supreme backing him would give him far greater confidence and make learning SSR-level combat techniques much easier.

But it still depended on what conditions Amos would offer next.

If it meant being permanently bound to the Ember Temple's carriage—or forced to stay in the Ember World—then he'd rather not have this teacher...

Another ten minutes passed, as the time reached just after three in the afternoon.

Xu Jingming received the combat techniques he'd purchased from the Ember Temple's internal network; the delivery was handled by a Chi Mang Liu Jin guard.

"Click—"

After completing identity verification, Xu Jingming successfully opened the specially designed silver-white password box.

Inside the box were no scrolls or books—only three special crystals, each about the size of a fist.

Within the three crystals, faint light flowed: one emitted golden light, the other two radiated purple light.

"This… was this delivered by mistake? Where are my combat technique manuals?"

Xu Jingming frowned; Ling Shuang and Su Qingli beside him also looked puzzled.

"These are Wu Yin—a new method of learning combat techniques invented in the Ember World."

The holographic projection of the green-haired twin-tailed little girl appeared midair, shaking her head cheerfully:

"Wu Yin are made from special crystals capable of storing spiritual force."

"Able-bodied cultivators can imprint their combat techniques into Wu Yin through spiritual force demonstrations, allowing others to learn them."

"Each original Wu Yin is extremely precious; the ones in your hands are likely single-use copies."

"Even so, learning combat techniques via Wu Yin grants far faster initial comprehension than studying from manuals."

"Oh?" Xu Jingming's eyes instantly lit up.

Wasn't this the very method the spiritual force master had used to transmit his inheritance to him?

Now, in the Ember World, it had become commonplace?

This means that as long as he has a Wu Yin, he can skip the first step of understanding a combat technique manual and directly add points!

Without delay, Xu Jingming asked quickly:

"How do you use a Wu Yin?"

"It's simple—just stick the Wu Yin to your forehead."

"Got it."

Xu Jingming did not hesitate.

He immediately pulled out the golden Wu Yin in the center and pressed it to his forehead.

In an instant,

Countless pieces of information flooded into his mind, making him understand that this was the Wu Yin of the SSR-level combat technique 'Starlight Lei Gang'.

As an SSR-level combat technique, Starlight Lei Gang was undoubtedly extremely complex.

To successfully release it, one had to perfectly coordinate spiritual energy and lightning ability.

Even if one obtained the original manual, without a teacher's guidance, it would take one or two months just to gain basic understanding.

But now, this step was completely skipped.

All content related to releasing Starlight Lei Gang appeared in Xu Jingming's mind like forced feeding.

Over a minute passed before Xu Jingming received all the information and opened his eyes.

"How is it? Is the Wu Yin useful?"

Su Qingli asked urgently.

"It's useful."

Xu Jingming nodded and smiled:

"This is the Wu Yin of the SSR-level combat technique Starlight Lei Gang.

With this Wu Yin, I've already reached the stage of basic understanding of this technique.

What remains is to reach the third level of the Lightning Domain, and then I can begin practicing its release."

In reality, with the system, he didn't need any further practice at all.

Unfortunately, it seemed that his Domain had not yet reached the third level required by the technique.

Even though he had achieved basic understanding, he still couldn't directly use the system to add points to this SSR-level combat technique.
