Chapter 964: SSR-Level Body Strengthening Art! Spirit Cat Supple Body!

Swish, swish, swish......

As Xu Jingming broke through his Body Strengthening Art, Qiao Lin and the other three were flying rapidly through the sky.

The atmosphere among the four was grim.

All their space rings had been seized—not only had their efforts over the past few days been in vain, but even their accumulated reserves outside the Breakthrough Tower had been completely stripped away.

“Commander Qiao Lin, what should we do next?” Xina couldn’t help asking.

“First, find other psychics. Once we seize four space rings, we’ll go find Lord Allen.”

Qiao Lin gritted her teeth, “Let Lord Allen deal with Xu Jingming for us!”

They looked utterly shattered now, with charred traces of lightning still lingering on each of their bodies.

They couldn’t possibly appear before Lord Allen in such a state.

“Understood!” The others’ eyes instantly lit up.

Xu Jingming was merely an eighth-rank mid-tier SSS-level, powerful, yes—but nowhere near as strong as Allen, who was also SSS-level but at the peak of eighth rank!

With Allen’s intervention, Xu Jingming would surely be defeated!

And they could reclaim their space rings.

Thinking of this, their flight speed increased significantly...

On the other side, after completing his Body Strengthening Art breakthrough, Xu Jingming shared all the intelligence gathered from Qiao Lin with Su Qingli.

“Various elemental essences and divine bloods capable of elevating psychic levels to SS-grade.”

“Also, a vast quantity of SSR-grade pills, rare flowers and herbs available for exchange—what exactly is this Noah Civilization’s origin, to possess such resources?”

Unsurprisingly, Su Qingli’s expression mirrored shock upon receiving the information.

“According to records, the history before the First Civilization lasted over five thousand years without any Yuan energy appearing—could this Noah Civilization originate from an even earlier era?”

Eva was utterly baffled.

As an intelligent lifeform, her knowledge storage was vast as the ocean.

Yet even some of the mundane materials casually produced by the Noah Civilization had shattered her worldview.

“It might not be from a previous civilization at all, but from another star system,” Xu Jingming added with a smile.

“Oh! That’s possible!”

Eva’s eyes brightened, “The Ember World already exists within the spatial chaos.”

The spatial chaos is offset from the real world—no one knows what might drift in.”

“If the Noah Civilization truly comes from outer space, its value would be immense!”

Eva’s expression grew excited; Xu Jingming’s face also lit up with anticipation.

The membrane beyond Blue Star’s surface still has no known origin—if the Noah Civilization is extraterrestrial,

we might finally gain some clues.

“Jingming, where do we go now? Keep hunting monsters?”

Su Qingli’s crimson lips moved slightly as she asked softly.

According to the information Xu Jingming had just shared, the monster congregation was not far—roughly three hundred kilometers away.

“Yes, but no need to rush.”

“We’ll search as we go. With Ironline Lotus helping us, we should gather plenty of Void Stones.”

Xu Jingming smiled.

He had already sorted through Qiao Lin’s space rings.

Besides rare flowers, herbs, and pills, as well as martial seals, there were a total of 930,000 Void Stones.

Combined with his own million-plus, the total reached a staggering 2,030,000 Void Stones!

Just another million Void Stones would allow him to exchange for an SSR-grade resource.

If luck held, finding two million Void Stones would let him directly exchange for a resource capable of transforming a psychic’s ability to SS-grade!

“Also, I need to use one martial seal. Professor Su, please guard me.”

“Alright.”

Azure thunder flickered as Su Qingli stood tall, having activated her perception martial technique, Mind Net; her beautiful eyes faintly glowed with lightning.

Xu Jingming took out from his space ring the Body Strengthening Art martial seal he had taken from Qiao Lin.

According to Qiao Lin’s description, this SSR-grade Body Strengthening Art was called “Spirit Cat Supple Body”—its enhancement to physical defense wasn’t particularly strong, roughly comparable to an SSS-grade Body Strengthening Art.

But it offered extraordinary strengthening to the internal organs and meridians, greatly increasing bodily flexibility, making it ideal for female psychics.

As he pressed the martial seal against his forehead, a flood of information poured into his mind.

It took nearly three minutes before Xu Jingming finished reading and preliminarily understood all the content.

“This ‘Spirit Cat Supple Body’ truly is only suitable for female psychics.”

Xu Jingming exhaled as he removed the martial seal from his forehead.

There are fundamental differences between male and female physiques; while most Body Strengthening Arts don’t distinguish gender, some are specifically designed for one or the other.

This SSR-grade “Spirit Cat Supple Body” belonged to the latter—only suitable for women.

Of course, men could force themselves to practice it, but they’d end up with a distorted, unnatural result.

“Still, it’s an SSR-grade Body Strengthening Art—even if designed for women, I can still extract plenty of useful knowledge from it.”

Xu Jingming, who had used the system to level his Body Strengthening Art from S-grade all the way to SSS-grade, was no longer a novice.

In terms of Body Strengthening Art research alone, he was unquestionably a master!

Even without the system, he could now easily create an S-grade Body Strengthening Art.

An SS-grade would take only a few days; even an SSS-grade was within reach.

Ever since obtaining the Blood of the Molten Beast, he’d already formed a general direction for improving and evolving his own Body Strengthening Art.

Now he needed this SSR-grade technique to fill in the specific details—once his knowledge accumulated sufficiently, he could use the system to directly add points!

After all, using someone else’s Body Strengthening Art was nowhere near as fast as creating your own.

“Professor Su, take this martial seal. You can try practicing it when you have time.”

Xu Jingming casually tossed the martial seal to Su Qingli.

This Body Strengthening Art was useless to him—but immensely valuable to Su Qingli, a woman.

“What type of martial seal is this?” Su Qingli asked, puzzled.

“‘Spirit Cat Supple Body.’ An SSR-grade Body Strengthening Art I took from Qiao Lin—only usable by women,” Xu Jingming explained.

“SSR-grade Body Strengthening Art?”

Su Qingli’s eyes widened in astonishment. “We have only two SSR-grade Body Strengthening Arts in all of Great Xia—and now you’ve acquired another one.”

Since she followed the Elemental Master path, she hadn’t paid much attention to Body Strengthening Arts.

Her own was merely SS-grade, and not particularly advanced.

But that didn’t stop her from understanding just how rare SSR-grade Body Strengthening Arts were.

“Just luck,” Xu Jingming smiled.

It was only because Qiao Lin’s background was unusual, and she was overly confident in her Mo’er Metal-cast space rings.

Otherwise, she’d never have carried a martial seal of this caliber on her person.
