Taking a Disciple! Top-Tier Cultivation Method! Body Tempering Combat Skill!

Led by the butler, Xu Jingming and Tan Mingyang entered the villa's living room.

The moment he walked in, Xu Jingming saw two people seated on the living room sofa.

The one on the right was a young man who appeared to be around Tan Mingyang's age.

He looked rather ordinary, the sort of person who would disappear into a crowd if one did not look closely.

Yet the young man's aura was extremely sharp. Even sitting there, he exuded an inexplicable sense of pressure.

Seated beside the young man was a middle-aged man.

The man wore a fitted gray outfit, with a robust build and lightning-like glints flashing in his eyes!

When Xu Jingming met his gaze, he felt as though he had been targeted by the most formidable dragon-type ferocious beast, and the hairs all over his body stood on end!

Compared to this middle-aged man, the aura around the young man beside him seemed almost nonexistent.

Having previously looked up information on the mentors through Eva at the villa, Xu Jingming naturally knew who he was.

This middle-aged man

was Yang Zhentian, the dean of the Weapon Academy, a Seventh-Order Upper Metahuman known as the Thunder Spear!

"Dean Yang, I've brought them both over," the butler said respectfully.

"Alright, you may leave."

Yang Zhentian dismissed the butler, then looked directly at Xu Jingming with a faint smile on his face.

"You're Xu Jingming, right? Zhang Chaoyang already told me about you beforehand.

Come on, let's go to the Training Room."

With that, he rose and headed upstairs. Xu Jingming hurriedly followed.

Tan Mingyang, who had witnessed the entire exchange, stood where he was, somewhat dazed.

Yang Zhentian, the dean of the Weapon Academy, was famously strict.

The Weapon Academy under his control had the most rules and regulations among the five major academies of Modu Metahuman University!

Because of this, the students had privately given Yang Zhentian the nickname King Yama Yang.

And his usual unsmiling expression suited that nickname perfectly.

Yet just now, he had actually seen King Yama Yang smile!

Moreover, the man seemed to know Xu Jingming and had directly brought him to the Training Room.

He was clearly planning to assess him personally.

Just who is Xu Jingming? Could he be the Principal's son?

Tan Mingyang quickly dismissed the thought.

Even if he were the Principal's son, he probably would not receive such treatment from King Yama Yang.

It would be more likely if the Principal himself had come...

"Junior Apprentice Mingyang, shall we do things as usual?" The remaining young man on the sofa looked over with a smile.

Only then did Tan Mingyang come back to his senses. His expression sharpened as he cupped his fists. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Apprentice Liu."

With that, the two headed together toward the sparring room on the first floor.

Apart from taking disciples on his own initiative,

any other student who wished to become Yang Zhentian's disciple had to display sufficient strength.

This Senior Apprentice Liu was one of Yang Zhentian's many students.

As long as one could defeat Senior Apprentice Liu while he used one-tenth of his strength, they would be considered qualified.

Yet over the past half year or so, Tan Mingyang had never succeeded even once...

Meanwhile, led by Yang Zhentian, Xu Jingming arrived at the Training Room.

It was a room of roughly a hundred square meters. Various weapons were placed on the weapon racks along the walls.

Among them were the long spears Xu Jingming was familiar with.

"I watched your Martial Arts College Entrance Examination Video. Your combat ability is indeed very strong, and your spear technique has reached the advanced level.

But before that, I'd like to take another look at your S-rank metahuman ability, Purple Heaven Divine Lightning."

Yang Zhentian looked at Xu Jingming expectantly.

An S-rank Lightning Type ability, Purple Heaven Divine Lightning!

Ever since Zhang Chaoyang had told him several days earlier that a student who had awakened an S-rank Lightning Type ability had chosen Modu Metahuman University, he had been waiting for Xu Jingming's arrival.

Yet he had not expected the other party to wait until today to report to the university.

Facing Yang Zhentian's request, Xu Jingming did not hesitate in the slightest and directly activated his ability.

Crackle, crackle~~~

Buzz, buzz, buzz~~~

Accompanied by muffled thunder and the crackling of leaping electric arcs, Purple Heaven Divine Lightning was summoned, winding around Xu Jingming.

The bluish-purple lightning seemed to carry the vast, desolate aura of ancient times, powerful and primordial.

The instant Purple Heaven Divine Lightning appeared, an indescribably majestic aura filled the entire Training Room.

"So this is the S-rank metahuman ability, Purple Heaven Divine Lightning!"

Yang Zhentian gazed enraptured at the bluish-purple lightning surrounding Xu Jingming.

Although he also possessed a Lightning Type ability, and as a Seventh-Order Upper Metahuman,

even a trace of lightning he casually unleashed possessed inconceivable power,

his A-Rank Ability, Wind Fire True Lightning, could never possess such an aura!

This was a gap originating from the very source of their abilities, something that could not be bridged by rank alone!

Only after several deep breaths did Yang Zhentian's excited emotions gradually settle.

He looked at Xu Jingming, his expression serious.

"Xu Jingming, I also know why you came. With your ability and potential, becoming my disciple is naturally not a problem.

However, there is something I must explain beforehand. When I traveled the world in my younger days,

I made some friends, but I also made quite a few enemies.

If you become my disciple, you will likewise be affected by this after you graduate.

Some enemies may even come after you. Are you still willing?"

"This student is willing."

Xu Jingming did not hesitate at all. With a respectful expression, he performed the disciple ceremony.

What a joke.

Which High-Order Metahuman had risen without bloodshed and slaughter?

A Metahuman like Yang Zhentian, renowned for killing, had no idea how many ferocious beasts and enemies he had slain.

If he were unwilling to shoulder even this much risk,

then there probably would not be a single suitable teacher to be found in all of Modu Metahuman University.

"Good, good, good! From today onward, you are my thirty-second disciple!"

Yang Zhentian said "good" three times in a row, his emotions somewhat stirred.

An S-rank ability awakener only appeared once every few years in the entire Great Xia Country.

Moreover, there were countless types of abilities. Even when an S-rank ability awakener appeared, they would most likely belong to a different category.

Over the past twenty-odd years, he had taken in more than thirty disciples, some with A-Rank Lightning Type abilities, others with B-rank Lightning Type abilities.

He had even accepted disciples with C-rank Lightning Type abilities.

But Xu Jingming was the first with an S-rank Lightning Type ability!

"Most of your senior brothers and sisters have already graduated. Only three remain at the university.

Liu Ming downstairs just now is one of your senior brothers.

As for your other senior brother and sister, I'll introduce you to them one by one when there's time."

As he spoke, the ring on Yang Zhentian's right hand flashed with Faint Light.

Two manuals immediately appeared in his hands, and he handed them over.

"These are a top-tier Ability Training Method and a Body Tempering Combat Skill created by your master."

Xu Jingming accepted the two manuals.

The Ability Training Method was called the "Limit Ability Training Method," while the other Battle Techniques manual was called "Thunder Undying Body."

Battle Techniques came in different categories, including Movement-Type Combat Skills and saber techniques.

For example, Xu Jingming's Lightning Gale Slash was a spear technique.

Body Tempering Combat Skills differed from ordinary Battle Techniques in that they were mainly used to strengthen the physique.

They were also far rarer than ordinary Battle Techniques...
