Chapter 924: Underground Rest! Add Divine Mind Art!

"Whether it's a beast or a ferocious beast, as long as I can get Ability Points, it's a good beast!"

Xu Jingming secretly rejoiced in his heart, planning to kill more ferocious beasts later to confirm it.

See if this double Ability Point bonus is just a coincidence, or if every ferocious beast gives this much.

If it's the latter, this will surely trigger a rapid surge in my strength!

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Xu Jingming's unusual expression, Su Qingli asked with some confusion.

"Nothing, just feeling that the ferocious beasts inside the Void-Piercing Tower seem different from those on Blue Star."

Xu Jingming smiled and said.

"Really?" Su Qingli hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Xu Jingming had killed it too fast; she hadn't had time to observe the ferocious beast closely...

According to the data from the Xinhuo Divine Temple.

In the first six levels of the Void-Piercing Tower, the second, fourth, and sixth levels harbor large numbers of ferocious beasts.

The first level has some too, but in extremely small numbers.

After flying for about two minutes, Xu Jingming encountered his second ferocious beast.

This was another avian ferocious beast, but only at second-rank.

He didn't even need to use Chaos Divine Thunder; with a single thought,

his spiritual force surged forth like a tidal wave, crushing the beast into a mist of blood with a loud thud.

'Ding! Slain one second-rank lower-tier beast, Qingniao. Ability Points +43.'

The familiar system notification echoed in his mind; Xu Jingming's eyes instantly blazed with sharp light.

Previously, killing a single second-rank lower-tier ferocious beast yielded only twenty-some Ability Points.

That meant the Ability Points gained from killing these so-called beasts were indeed double those of ferocious beasts!

"Good! Good! Good! Now I no longer have to worry about running out of Ability Points."

Xu Jingming's heart surged with excitement.

Thunder Domain, Divine Mind Art, Body Forging Art—all of them need Ability Points!

The appearance of these beasts solved his urgent problem!

"I hope there are more beasts inside the Void-Piercing Tower; otherwise, it won't be enough to kill."

A smile appeared on Xu Jingming's lips.

His Thunder Dragon Wings fluttered slightly, accelerating his flight speed once more.

After another two minutes or so, Xu Jingming and Su Qingli reached the end of the first level.

The previously white, misty void here became even more ethereal.

It felt like the edge of the world—the vast space here had clear boundaries.

Two portals, one black and one white, each over a hundred meters tall and dozens of meters wide, stood here.

The white portal seemed to sense the outside world's aura, while the black portal radiated a heavier, denser aura.

Like a gaping abyssal mouth, no one could guess what lay beyond.

The white portal led to the outside; the black portal led to the next level.

Their flight speed wasn't slow; now, only a few scattered ninth-rank experts flew rapidly from other directions and plunged into the black portal.

Without hesitation, Xu Jingming and Su Qingli also flew into the black portal.

The first six levels of the Void-Piercing Tower resemble primitive wilderness zones with no human activity.

Here, you can find rare flowers and herbs, heavenly treasures, and encounter terrifying ferocious beasts.

Overall, the higher the level you enter, the better the treasures you can find.

For example, on the first level you might find C-rank rare flowers and herbs; by the fourth level, you can find A-rank, even rarer ones.

The same applies to ferocious beasts: the second level mainly has second- and third-rank beasts; the higher the level, the higher the beast rank.

Logically, entering the sixth level directly to hunt ferocious beasts would yield the highest Efficiency for Ability Points.

But along the way, Xu Jingming hadn't passed up any ferocious beasts he encountered.

Even when encountering groups of ferocious beasts, he would stop and wait until they were all slain before moving on.

There was no choice—the double Ability Points from beasts were simply too tempting.

Four days later, Void-Piercing Tower Fifth Level.

Two shadowy figures, one black and one cyan, streaked across the sky like meteors, heading swiftly toward the end of the fifth level.

"Jingming, we're about fifty kilometers from entering the sixth level. Should we find a place to rest first?"

Su Qingli, surrounded by cyan Lei Guang, suggested.

"Alright." Xu Jingming nodded, not refusing.

Over these four days, they rarely rested—just flying and killing ferocious beasts.

The seventh level won't open until thirty thousand sixth-rank or higher Ability Users have gathered.

Given their speed, it'll take at least another ten days for them to arrive.

If so, it's better to conserve energy first.

After all, the dangers of the sixth level of the Void-Piercing Tower are far greater than the first five.

"Alright, I'll find a cave where we can rest."

Su Qingli slowed her flight, her vast spiritual force spreading out like an ocean.

But Xu Jingming smiled and shook his head: "No need to find a cave."

After saying that, he fell toward the ground under Su Qingli's puzzled gaze.

【60】 After saying that, he fell toward the ground under Su Qingli's puzzled gaze.

【60】 After saying that, he fell toward the ground under Su Qingli's puzzled gaze.

He landed on the ground without losing momentum, twenty-one black blades entwined with Lei Ting spinning rapidly around his body.

He plunged into the earth like a drill, reaching over a hundred meters deep!

"Underground? Jingming, you want to rest here?"

Su Qingli, flying down along the passage Xu Jingming had carved, exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right."

Xu Jingming nodded and smiled, "Over a hundred meters underground—even a ninth-rank powerhouse couldn't find us."

That Aurora-level Allen clearly had ill intentions, and there were members of the Tianming Sect lurking nearby.

The Space Beast Bone can only be used twice within twenty-four hours.

He currently lacks the strength to confront them directly and must act cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingli paused in surprise.

As the daughter of the former head of Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall, she had rarely entered the Wildlands.

When she was second- and third-rank, she often ventured into the Wildlands for training.

After reaching sixth rank, she went less frequently.

After all, she lacked nothing in resources or combat techniques.

So in the Wildlands, she usually just found a cave to rest—she'd never thought of going underground.

"You rest like this in the Wildlands?"

Su Qingli tilted her head, curious.

"Yes, it's safer this way."

Xu Jingming smiled, "Xiao Lian, reinforce the surrounding soil."

A faint glow flashed from his space ring, and a lush green plant materialized out of thin air.

Thin tendrils, like iron wires, sprouted tiny pink lotus flowers along their length.

Ironwire Lotus!

A top-tier plant life, nurtured by Sacred Plant Water, had reached the peak of eighth rank and was about to enter ninth rank.

Swoosh—swoosh—swoosh—

The tendrils whipped through the air, and in barely more than ten seconds, they carved out an underground chamber two hundred square meters in area and over four meters high.

Simultaneously, the passage Xu Jingming had descended through was completely filled in again.

Crackling—

A pale green lightning orb rose, its glow fully illuminating the dark space.

Su Qingli looked around with fascination: "This could easily pass for a full apartment."

"It's just a bit stuffy," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

At a hundred meters underground, there was virtually no air.

A normal person would suffocate quickly.

But for him and Su Qingli, it made almost no difference.

"Teacher, I'll begin restoring my ability now."

After telling Su Qingli, Xu Jingming immediately sat cross-legged.

He did not immediately activate his ability training method; instead, he silently thought the words "Deep Blue."

Instantly, a pale blue virtual interface appeared in his mind.

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Rank】: Eighth Rank Lower Tier

【Ability】: Chaos Divine Thunder (SSS)

【Physique】: Blood Qi (+)

【Spirit】: He (+)

【Skills】: Spear Technique (Perfected), Fist Technique (Master+), Azure Thunder Shield (SSS-level, Beginner+), Heavenly Thunder Divine Punishment Sword (SSS-level, Master+)......

【Body Cultivation】: Divine Thunder Blood Demon Body (SSS-level, Ninth Layer)

【Spirit Cultivation】: Lei Hai Visualization Method (SSS-level, Fifth Layer+)

【Domain】: Thunder Domain (First Layer)

【Ability Points】: 924,000

Because he had invested points into two SSS-level combat techniques.

Before entering the Breakthrough Tower, Xu Jingming's system panel had only shown 600,000 ability points.

Now, it had reached 924,000.

In other words, in just four short days, he had gained 300,000 ability points!

This efficiency was simply terrifying!

"Too bad, although the efficiency of harvesting ability points has improved,

now the amount required to invest in any single stat is equally terrifying."

Shaking his head, Xu Jingming did not hesitate and immediately clicked the plus sign beside Spirit Cultivation.

Ability Points -900,000!

Lei Hai Visualization Method Fifth Layer → Lei Hai Visualization Method Sixth Layer!

"Teacher Su, guard me!"

Before Su Qingli's astonished gaze, Xu Jingming's spiritual strength surged violently.
