Chapter 915: Another Supreme Being! Wu Yin!
Less than two minutes after Lei Ding left, Xu Jingming encountered another Supreme Being—Ers.
Unlike the burly Lei Ding, Ers, who possessed a Qianghuaxi SS-class ability, was tall and slender.
He was strikingly handsome, with a faint smile on his face, exuding calmness.
"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 Alan—anything you want, the family will fully support."
Ers laid out his terms immediately: "I've already heard about your encounter with the Lei family just now."
"Don't worry about the Lightning System Saint—I'll resolve it for you."
"Of course, at critical moments, I'll need you to serve the Ers family."
As a Supreme Being, Ers undeniably radiated an immensely powerful and lethal aura.
Yet he lacked Lei Ding's domineering presence and offered no hint of threat—instead, he seemed to be trying to ease Xu Jingming's predicament.
"Sorry, I have no intention of joining a family for now," Xu Jingming declined again.
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 you ever change your mind, feel free to contact me anytime."
Shhh—
Ers's figure blurred and vanished instantly from the villa's living room.
"Phew, finally gone."
"These Supreme Beings—even when suppressing their pressure—still make one restless."
Ling Shuang exhaled softly on the sofa.
She lazily stretched, her battle suit tightening instantly, outlining her alluring curves.
"This Supreme Being'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 Lady Amos, then?"
"Not necessarily."
Xu Jingming shook his head. "Lady Amos is a Supreme Being, 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 anyone else 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 dismissed it outright.
But Xu Jingming? He truly had that ability.
"The Flame Temple's influence is immense."
"If Lady Amos truly wants to take you as her disciple and hasn't imposed any binding conditions, I think you should accept."
After a moment's thought, Su Qingli spoke up:
"Forget other things—if you become Lady Amos's disciple,
you won't need to worry about Void Stones for the Lightning System SSR-level combat techniques in the Temple's network."
Even when Xu Jingming was still at the seventh stage, Su Qingli had already felt she had nothing left to teach him.
In fact, he had even taught her SSS-level Spirit Refinement Art and SSS-level combat techniques.
Now that she saw a chance for a Supreme Being to recruit him, she naturally hoped he'd accept.
"Alright, I understand," Xu Jingming nodded.
Indeed,
having a Supreme Being backing him would give him far greater confidence and make learning SSR-level techniques much easier.
But it still depended on what conditions Lady Amos would offer.
If she demanded he be permanently bound to the Flame Temple's carriage—or forced to remain in the Flame World—then he'd rather not have her as a teacher...
Another ten minutes passed, as the time neared three in the afternoon.
Xu Jingming received the combat techniques he'd purchased from the Flame Temple's internal network; the delivery was handled by a Crimson Radiance Gold Guard.
"Click—"
After successful identity verification, Xu Jingming unlocked the specially designed silver-white password box.
Inside the box were no manuals or books—only three special crystals, each about the size of a fist.
Within the three crystals, faint light swirled: one emitted golden radiance, the other two glowed purple.
"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 for learning combat techniques invented in the Flame World,"
said the holographic projection of the green-haired twin-tailed girl, 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 manuals."
"Oh?" Xu Jingming's eyes lit up instantly.
Wasn't this exactly the method the spiritual force master had used to transmit his inheritance to him?
Now, in the Flame World, it was already widely adopted?
That meant—if he had Wu Yin—he could skip the first step of understanding combat technique manuals and go straight to leveling up!
Without hesitation, Xu Jingming asked:
"How do you use Wu Yin?"
"Very simple—just press the Wu Yin against your forehead."
"Got it."
Xu Jingming didn't hesitate.
He immediately took the central golden Wu Yin and pressed it to his forehead.
In an instant,
a flood of information surged into his mind, revealing this as the Wu Yin of the SSR-level combat technique "Starlight Thunder Gang."
As an SSR-level technique, Starlight Thunder Gang was undeniably complex.
To release it successfully, one had to perfectly synchronize spiritual force and Lightning System ability.
Even with the original manual, without a teacher's guidance, it would take one or two months just to grasp the basics.
But now, that step was entirely skipped.
All information related to releasing Starlight Thunder Gang appeared in Xu Jingming's mind like forced feeding.
Over a full minute passed before he absorbed all the content and opened his eyes.
"How is it? Is the Wu Yin useful?"
Su Qingli asked eagerly.
"Very useful."
Xu Jingming nodded, smiling.
"This is the Wu Yin of the SSR-level technique Starlight Thunder Gang."
"With this Wu Yin, I've already achieved initial comprehension of the technique."
"Now I just need to reach the third level of the Lightning Domain, and I can begin practicing its release."
In truth, with his system, he didn't need any further practice.
But it seemed that since he hadn't yet reached the third level required by the technique,
even though he'd achieved initial comprehension, he still couldn't directly level it up via his system.
