Chapter 920: Gathering! Another Radiant-Level!

Entering Shangcheng, the lobby was bustling with people, most of them psychics, extremely lively.

Xu Jingming took the elevator and quickly arrived on the third floor, entering a private room in a café on the third level.

Inside the private room were three people: Su Yu, Catherine from the United States, and Andre from Russia.

As soon as Xu Jingming stepped in, the three who had been talking immediately turned to look at him.

But when they sensed the faint aura of an eighth-rank Grand Master on Xu Jingming, their gazes differed.

One held admiration, one held awe, and one held shock.

"It hasn't been long since we last met—how, you don't recognize me anymore?"

Xu Jingming sat down with a smile.

He had seen Catherine just a few days ago, and Su Yu several times during his time in Dayangzhou.

Only Andre, since the end of the Talent Competition, he had not seen again.

"It's not that we don't recognize you—you've changed too much." Su Yu sighed.

When he first met Xu Jingming in Dayangzhou, the man had been only seventh-rank; now, in the blink of an eye, he was already eighth-rank.

Even within just a few days in the Xinhuo World, he had already forged his own renown.

One of only two Radiant-Level beings in the Xinhuo World!

When he first heard this news upon entering the Xinhuo World, Su Yu had been utterly stunned.

After all, Meng Yu, who had defeated them on Blue Star, was merely a Bright Light-Level cultivator.

"That's right—if we're being serious, we all ought to call you Senior."

Catherine chuckled as she spoke.

The blonde, blue-eyed woman remained as beautiful and captivating as ever.

Yet as America's prodigy, she unconsciously spoke to Xu Jingming in Daxia language.

"Fine by me, I don't mind."

Xu Jingming smiled, then continued: "You've been in the Xinhuo World for several days now—how do you find it?"

"Its depth is immense, and the number of prodigies is unimaginable."

Su Yu's gaze sharpened, "Just among those I know, there are thirteen SS-rank psychics.

S-rank exceeds two hundred, and there are even two SSS-rank!"

Currently, Blue Star may have fewer than seven SS-rank, and not a single SSS-rank..."

Here, Su Yu suddenly realized something and asked Xu Jingming:

"By the way, your psychic ability must have evolved to SSS-rank, otherwise you couldn't have passed the Radiant-Level certification."

At these words, the entire private room fell silent; Catherine and Andre both looked curiously at Xu Jingming.

"You've figured it out."

Xu Jingming did not hide it, smiling: "Lucky break—my lightning psychic ability evolved to SSS-rank."

"Really SSS-rank?!"

Though they had mentally prepared themselves, when this news was confirmed,

Su Yu and Andre could not help but widen their eyes, faces filled with shock.

Catherine, having witnessed Xu Jingming's psychic ability before in the Dayangzhou wilderness, was not overly surprised.

"Your psychic ability evolved three times—that's utterly outrageous." Su Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

"Think of it differently—perhaps my psychic ability was always SSS-rank,

it just hadn't revealed itself until now."

Xu Jingming smiled.

"Can it work like that?" Su Yu muttered in amazement, "I'm convinced.

After the Talent Competition, I thought I could still catch up to you—now it seems I'll have to wait until my next life."

Shaking his head, Su Yu continued: "By the way, you probably don't know yet.

Across Blue Star, ferocious beasts are showing signs of agitation.

The frequency of beast floods along our Daxia border has clearly increased two to three times."

"It's the same on our side," Catherine nodded.

"Our Russia is much the same as before, but there are reports of similar beast agitation along our borders."

Andre, who had remained silent until now, also spoke thoughtfully.

"Oh?"

Xu Jingming frowned, "With nearly a quarter of Blue Star's strongest cultivators now in the Xinhuo World, the beasts are likely trying to take advantage of this opportunity."

"That's probably it."

Su Yu nodded, "Once the Po Xu Tower matter is settled, when we return, we'll need to clear out a wave of beasts."

"Alright, if the General Council Leader needs any help, just call me."

Xu Jingming's eyes gleamed.

A quarter of the strongest—this was an enormous number.

If this were a regular army, withdrawing so many troops would leave it vulnerable to a fatal strike.

But humanity's conflict with ferocious beasts is not like ordinary warfare.

As long as humanity's few supreme elites remain vigilant, the beasts dare not stir.

To be blunt,

Even if every other psychic died, as long as humanity's supreme elite still lived, the beasts would not dare launch a large-scale invasion.

This is the deterrent power of top-tier elites over ferocious beasts.

In other words, once something unexpected happens on the strongest humans' side, the fierce beasts will absolutely invade on a massive scale.

However, judging by the current situation, the probability of this happening is not very high.

After all, the emergence of the Spark World has given the human side three more strongest experts.

"Regardless, one's own strength is the most important thing.

On this trip to the Void-Breaking Tower, I absolutely must kill as many fierce beasts as possible to obtain ability points."

Xu Jingming said silently in his heart.

The day after the gathering with Catherine and the others ended was September 22nd.

That day was also the day the Void-Breaking Tower opened.

It wasn't even eight in the morning yet, and the entire area around the Void-Breaking Tower was already packed with people, with figures everywhere.

At a rough glance, there were easily several hundred thousand people!

As a holder of Aurora-level authority in the Spark Temple, Xu Jingming naturally stood at the very front of the crowd.

He was seen wearing a black battle suit, with a tall and slender build and a resolute gaze.

Black lightning flickered faintly across the surface of his body, and the aura emanating from his entire person was both powerful and lethal.

To his left was Su Qingli.

She was seen wearing a silver-white battle suit, with a tall and graceful figure.

Paired with her breathtakingly beautiful face like a fairy descending to the mortal world, her entire person looked extraordinarily ethereal.

To Xu Jingming's right was Hearing Ling Shuang.

She wore a light black battle suit, with a plump and slender figure, and a head of beautiful black hair loosely pinned up.

A Nine-Kite Hairpin was gently inserted into it, further accentuating her refined and mature temperament.

Once the Void-Breaking Tower opened, she would go to the Void Temple and begin training under Heman.

"It's Xu Jingming! The new Aurora-level!"

"Putting everything else aside, that temperament is indeed extraordinary."

"Lightning-element SSS-grade ability, an absolute offensive-type ability! He'll probably shine brilliantly in the Void-Breaking Tower this time."

"Heh, my lord Allen is the strongest, just a Blue Planet person."

"......"

Many people in the crowd looked toward Xu Jingming and discussed in low voices.

The Void-Breaking Tower had stood in the Spark World for a full hundred years.

People did not know where this Void-Breaking Tower actually came from, nor who had created it.

But one thing they were certain of — there was definitely a great opportunity within this Void-Breaking Tower!

Therefore, the opening of the Void-Breaking Tower this time had attracted a large number of ability users.

Among them, Xu Jingming, as an Aurora-level, was naturally considered a possible existence to obtain the Void-Breaking Tower's opportunity.

"my lord Allen!"

"It's my lord Allen's personal craft! He's here!"

Suddenly—

The crowd stirred, all looking toward another direction.

Xu Jingming also subconsciously looked over and saw a blue fighter jet flying rapidly toward them.

It finally hovered in mid-air, and seven people in a row jumped out of the fighter jet, landing on the ground.

Walking at the very front was a tall, thin youth; he was handsome in appearance, with an earring on his right ear.

A wicked smile hung on his face, his expression wild and arrogant, as if he stood above everything else, possessing absolute confidence in himself.

He was the other Aurora-level of the Spark Temple — Allen.
