Chapter 340: Slaying a Lord-level Beast, the Sword Martial God's Sharp Gaze!

Because Ji Tianzong realized a point that made his heart tremble......

That is, since this youth can, by mental power alone, heavily damage a Level‑11 Lord-level Aberrant Beast, it shows that if the beast were replaced by himself, the result would be the same.

Mental power is an ethereal, elusive thing, practically impossible to defend against; such an unsolvable method can even threaten the Martial Lord Realm, how could he not be startled.

Looking at all existing Talent Endowed of the mental type today, and even across the entire history of the Martial Way, none have ever achieved this step before!

The talent of this child is terrifyingly great!

Never dare to oppose him.

Ji Tianzong turned his head to glance at the equally stunned Situjun, murmuring enviously in a low voice: "Situjun, what kind of monster has he actually cultivated......"

"Situjun, what's this Major's name?!"

On the screen, Xia Houjie widened his eyes, let a curse slip out, and a deep, powerful aura burst from his body.

"Commander Xia, he is Lu Jing, just a few days ago was commended at a meeting."

Situjun's voice came through.

"So it's him......"

Xia Houjie's expression grew a bit excited, his gaze fixed tightly on that figure.

The slightly yellowed eyes now flashed an indescribable brilliance.

He reached out to steady the video communication device trembling from the internal aura, and said in a tone mixing joy with excitement:

"Truly delightful and congratulatory, the Eastern Military Region will likely add another General Star, and a top‑tier General Star!"

After Xia Houjie finished, his expression turned oddly murmuring: "Everyone calls him Lu Jing; it shouldn't be a duplicate name...... No wonder he's the son‑in‑law favored by Jian Laotou, his eye truly is sharp!"

Originally, he couldn't at all understand why his old friend Ran Jianfeng would introduce the clan's heavenly beauty Ranqingmo to an obscure wild youngster.

Not only him; in fact, many people of their rank didn't understand either.

Before this, Ran Jianfeng had turned down countless marriage proposals from major families, yet in a short time he chose a boy without noble lineage.

For this, Xia Houjie even went to persuade Ran Jianfeng, and recommended his own grandson to the Ran family.

But Ran Jianfeng, as one of the Four Great Martial Gods, cannot have his decisions altered lightly, and moreover, the affairs of the Ran family are not for outsiders to meddle in.

And now, Xia Houjie seemed to understand a bit.

Through the tiny screen, he saw Lu Jing single‑handedly traversing the battlefield, crushing a Lord-level Aberrant Beast with absolute dominance.

"This kid, at eighteen, possesses such terrifying combat power; his potential is frighteningly astonishing......"

Xia Houjie clicked his tongue in amazement; such talent is by no means inferior to Ranqingmo.

A Martial God's grandchild like Ranqingmo could probably only be matched by Lu Jing.

Moreover, it is said that having just arrived at the Military Region a few days ago, he has already repeatedly achieved remarkable feats, and his temperament is likewise top‑grade.

Ran Jianfeng, that old bastard, his gaze is truly terrifying!

Beside Xia Houjie, several Generals, hearing his muttering, shifted expression slightly and cast mysterious glances.

"So this Lu Jing also has that kind of connection with the Sword Martial God......"

"If the Ran family has this child, within a hundred years they will likely have another Martial God!"

"A Martial God would be a bit exaggerated; a Martial Saint should be fine."

"Given this kid's strength and talent, staying under Situjun is a bit limiting; better to introduce him to the Eastern Military Region headquarters to form a General Star team."

The Generals began to discuss.

"Roar—"

In the sky, the battle between a man and a dragon was nearing its end.

The continuously roaring evil dragon spiraled in the air, struggling.

However, due to its size, no matter how it dodged, it could not escape Lu Jing's fist wrapped in mental power.

In Lu Jing's golden vertical‑pupil view, he clearly saw the flash representing the mental‑power core at the dragon's neck weakening, indicating the dragon was at its last gasp.

Such a massive Aberrant Beast's vitality could be described as extremely tenacious.

Lu Jing had lost count of how many punches he had thrown, only feeling his arms tingling.

"Roar—"

Just as Lu Jing prepared his final strike, the constantly struggling dragon suddenly halted, and countless phantom‑beast faces on its body overflowed with blood‑filled qi.

At the same time, the dragon's body began to contort, gradually becoming withered, its size shrinking rapidly.

But the mental‑power core at its neck became dazzling again.

When the dragon's body completely disintegrated, Lu Jing's figure abruptly recoiled.

Immediately!

Boom—

The sun‑like blinding core exploded in an instant, like a balloon that had been burst!

Layer upon layer of shockwaves mixed with surging mental power formed extremely violent blast waves, surging outward in all directions!

This Lord-level Aberrant Beast actually chose to self‑detonate its mental‑power core!

Lu Jing's figure descended rapidly; when he was a hundred meters above the ground, he leapt directly from his mithril longsword and landed steadily on the ground.

At the same time, he raised a mental‑power shield, blocking all the incoming mental shock.

The Lord-level dragon's death‑blow counterattack is not to be taken lightly; without Lu Jing's help to block it, at least half the people here would have perished.

After a while, the lingering waves from the explosion gradually subsided.

Everyone's gaze gathered on Lu Jing, whose upper body was reddened.

"This guy is absurdly strong; he actually took down a Lord-level one......"

Zhu Xingyao inhaled a breath of cool air, poked Dong Ningxue beside her, and laughed: "Sister Dong, the two of us once served as his instructors."

Dong Ningxue's gaze drifted, recalling the days at the genius training camp.

Who would have thought that the trainee once expected to achieve great things, after just a few months, has already surpassed these two instructors?

It feels like the Yangtze River's later waves pushing the earlier ones, and the earlier waves don't even know where they died.

Lu Jing gazed toward the horizon, recalling what Dong Ningxue had said—that after slaying a Lord-level Aberrant Beast, the Cave's range would shrink.

"Everyone, stay alert—the Cave will soon enter an unstable state!"

Situjun furrowed his brow and quickly reminded them.

As his words fell, a terrifying surge of air burst forth, and the wind pressure in the sky suddenly spiked.

Whoosh—

Woo—

The wind howled wildly, and booming sounds erupted from all directions, as if something had collapsed.

Perception inside the Cave is weak, but if one were high above it right now, they could witness an astonishing sight...

The Cave's fissure, stretching like a canyon for hundreds of li, had its edges collapse directly, while its depths burst forth with successive terrifying suction forces like a siphon, frantically drawing in external matter to fill the void left by the Cave's shrinkage.

Thereafter, the spatial rift began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

750 square kilometers.

650 square kilometers.

500 square kilometers...
