Chapter 917: The Void Sanctum Arrives! Accepting Disciples!

Floating Island No. 3, open-air training ground.

Xu Jingming wore a black combat suit, gripping a two-meter-one-long Ink Shadow Thunder Spear.

Black lightning surged around him, the spear thrusting out like lightning in rapid succession.

Suddenly—

A flash of black lightning, and his towering body vanished from where he stood, reappearing at the other end of the training ground.

The spear thrust again, his form flickered once more, appearing hundreds of meters above ground.

Thus, Xu Jingming moved like a bolt of lightning, appearing at various spots across the open-air training ground.

Each flicker left behind afterimages; from afar, it looked as if dozens of Xu Jingmings appeared simultaneously on the training ground!

"Incredible burst distance!"

Beside the training ground, Su Qingli's rosy lips parted slightly as she stared, stunned.

Her own movement technique's effect was roughly comparable to this.

That meant Xu Jingming had truly mastered that Thunder Flash Step technique!

"Monster! Absolutely a monster!"

A look of shock spread across Su Qingli's fair, delicate face.

She had thought she was already accustomed to Xu Jingming's absurd talent.

But now it seemed she hadn't gotten used to it enough...

Swish—

A flash of black lightning, and Xu Jingming landed at the center of the training ground.

"No wonder it's an SSS-grade movement technique—the effect is astonishing!"

Xu Jingming's face wore clear delight.

The original "Thunder Flash" favored straight-line bursts.

The later "Phantom Thunder Step" leaned more toward agility, allowing maneuvering against opponents.

But this "Thunder Flash Step" combined the strengths of both!

Whether for straight-line bursts or evasive maneuvering, it offered exceptional mobility.

Even a single burst could reach over a thousand meters!

And this was merely the burst distance in normal form.

If he activated Thunder Extreme State or Thunder Storm State, the burst distance would be even greater.

"If I had learned this technique before the rating certification...

I wouldn't need to use Thunder to restrict my ninth-level opponent's positioning—I could just burst in and finish the kill directly."

Xu Jingming thought silently.

In short, a warrior possessing this technique was absolutely lethal to elementalists.

"This Thunder Flash Step is truly worthy of being created by Lei Shen.

Within a two-kilometer radius, even my spatial teleportation can't match your burst speed."

Ling Shuang and Su Qingli walked up, Ling Shuang's beautiful face smiling.

"The Firebrand Sanctum's depth truly can't be compared to Earth's."

"Once I have enough Void Stones later, I'll learn another SSR-grade movement technique."

Xu Jingming smiled, "Also, Teacher Su, Teacher Ling, you two could join the Firebrand Sanctum as core members.

With your talents, you should be able to secure Light Brilliance-level access.

Then you can freely browse all techniques below SS-grade, and even SSS-grade ones can be exchanged for Void Stones."

The Firebrand Sanctum strictly forbade high-access members from borrowing techniques for low-access members—violators faced severe punishment.

If it were anyone else, Xu Jingming might not have followed this rule, directly borrowing the relevant techniques for Su Qingli and Ling Shuang via the Sanctum's internal network.

But the Firebrand Sanctum belonged to Ai Mose, the one who possessed the SSS-grade Eye of Fate.

Who knew if she might notice something? So he had to proceed cautiously.

"I was thinking the same thing," Su Qingli smiled.

Though she possessed many thunder techniques, most were only S-grade or SS-grade.

She truly had few SSS-grade ones; if she could view the Firebrand Sanctum's SSS-grade thunder techniques,

it would greatly aid her cultivation.

"I'm not in a hurry. I want to visit the Void Sanctum first," Ling Shuang shook her head slightly, softly saying.

"That's the organization founded by the Void God's eldest disciple.

You previously obtained the Nine Kite Hairpin from the Void God—you really should visit the Void Sanctum first.

It's still early; we can go now."

Xu Jingming sheathed his spear into his space ring, checked the time, and nodded.

But before they could depart, a melodious voice suddenly came from the sky:

"Xu Jingming."

Looking up, Xu Jingming saw three figures in the sky.

On the far left was a woman in a pale golden religious robe,

her eyes covered by black silk ribbons, her figure graceful and alluring—Ai Mose.

Beside her stood two men.

One wore black armor and looked slightly younger.

The other, though entirely white-haired, had no sign of age in his face.

He radiated a piercing aura like a drawn sword.

What surprised Xu Jingming even more was that the white-haired man walked shoulder-to-shoulder with Ai Mose, as if equal in status.

The black-armored man trailed behind them by one step.

Yet Xu Jingming detected no overwhelming pressure from the white-haired man—no sign of a supreme-level presence.

The three descended from the sky onto the floating island and walked toward Xu Jingming.

He quickly composed himself and bowed respectfully: "High Priestess."

"Xu Jingming, let me introduce you."

Ai Mose's cold, clear voice spoke, her red lips parting slightly:

"This is the Master of the Void Sanctum, Xi Man. He is the founder of the Void Sanctum

and the eldest disciple of the Void God—a hero of our entire Firebrand World.

Among all the powerful figures in the Firebrand World, he is unquestionably among the absolute top tier.

The one beside him is his student, the current Grand Hierarch of the Void Sanctum, Zhang Hengyang."

"Greetings, Master, Grand Hierarch," Xu Jingming bowed respectfully.

No wonder he could walk shoulder-to-shoulder with the High Priestess.

He was the Void God's eldest disciple.

In terms of seniority and status, he was far higher than Ai Mose, the supreme-level figure who rose only after the Firebrand World's release.

"Hmm."

Zhang Hengyang gave a slight nod; Xi Man smiled and said:

"I'm no hero—my master was the hero. I'm just an old man clinging to life."

Saying this, Xi Man turned to Ling Shuang.

Upon noticing the hairpin embedded in her coiled black hair, his eyes brightened instantly, and he spoke:

"You must be Ling Shuang. Would you be willing to become my student?"

Student?

At these words, Xu Jingming's heart jolted.

What's going on?

They had just planned to visit the Void Sanctum, and now its master had appeared out of nowhere, offering to take Ling Shuang as his disciple?

Even Ling Shuang, the subject of this offer, was momentarily stunned.

After all, this was the eldest disciple of the Void God.

Given the Void God's past deeds and this Master's influence in the Firebrand World,

his status was certainly no lower than Ai Mose's and possibly even higher!

She had merely intended to visit the Void Sanctum to see if she could find some space techniques.

She had never imagined attracting the attention of such a towering figure.
