"Xu Jingming? That Xu Jingming who took first place in the Genius Battle?"
Zhou Ming's mouth fell open wide enough to fit an egg.
"What the hell..."
Lei Lie drew a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, yet the shock in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
"Didn't he enter the academy less than two years ago?
Even with a Supreme Dominator's guidance, isn't his growth in strength a little too brutal?"
They had seen it clearly—the Dark Gold Thunderlight just now.
It had been clean and decisive, without the slightest hint of hesitation.
To so effortlessly kill a Star Peak Thunder Beast renowned for its defense and strength in a single strike...
That level of power was absolutely far beyond that of an ordinary Star Peak cultivator!
Could a newcomer who had only recently advanced to the Star Tier really achieve this?
Xu Jingming paid no attention to them.
His gaze swept over the Thunder Beast's corpse gradually dissipating on the ground.
Then it fell upon the silver-white Thunder Crystal rolling across the ground, as large as a washbasin and radiating pure, immense lightning energy.
With a beckoning gesture, the Thunder Crystal flew into his hand before he stored it in his Space Ring.
"Ding! Killed one Star Peak Thunder Beast. Origin Points +37,000."
The system notification ringing in his mind brought a trace of satisfaction to the depths of his eyes.
Sure enough, the rewards in the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Realm were far greater than outside!
The Origin Points obtained from killing Thunder Beasts alone were three times those of demonic beasts at the same level!
This was also why his nearly frenzied hunting over the past two months in the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Realm had yielded such remarkable results!
