Ye Li did not leave immediately. Instead, she stood quietly where she was, watching Xu Jingming's departing figure.
Starlight cascaded down, illuminating her tall, cold, beautiful figure. Her black dress fluttered gently in the breeze.
Xu Jingming's figure soon vanished beyond the horizon, leaving only faint flashes of lightning in the distance.
"This little junior brother truly has a fine temperament."
A faint look of appreciation appeared on Ye Li's fair, lovely face.
She had seen far too many people blessed with astonishing talent, only for them to ultimately fall or stagnate because their temperament was lacking.
Xu Jingming not only possessed terrifying talent, but even more rare was his sincerity, principles, and gratitude.
With such a temperament paired with his horrifying talent—
As long as he did not die prematurely, his future achievements would likely be beyond estimation.
"It seems Teacher has truly taken in an extraordinary disciple this time..."
She murmured softly, then withdrew her gaze.
The space around her rippled slightly. Her graceful figure quietly faded away, vanishing at the foot of the mountain.
Dark Gold Thunderlight tore through the sky as Xu Jingming sped onward.
In only a moment, the enormous liquid lightning pool came into view once more.
Lightning churned within the pool, its thunderous roars deafening.
The hundred-meter-wide blue portal above it still floated quietly in the air, with flashes of lightning and thunder faintly visible within.
"Beep~~ Identity verified. Student Xu Jingming has been granted an additional sixty days of free entry into the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Realm. Remaining time: 60 days."
At the entrance, a mechanical notification sounded as the Cosmic Tier guard verified the new authority granted by the Frost Crown Dominator.
Xu Jingming nodded slightly. Turning into a streak of light, he plunged into the portal without hesitation.
Rumble—!!
