Perfect Compatibility! A Surge in Qi-Blood Once More!

"Perfect! Absolutely perfect!"

Faced with this scene, Yang Zhentian standing before Xu Jingming looked excited. "98%! Jingming's ferocious beast blood essence absorption rate actually reached 98%!"

"98%?! That high?!"

Liu Ming, standing at the entrance to the Training Room, could not help but feel his heart skip a beat upon hearing this.

Establishing the foundation of the Thunder Undying Body required absorbing the blood essence of Lightning Type ferocious beasts.

But it was ferocious beast blood essence, after all. Even with the teacher's Wind Fire True Lightning assisting throughout the process, the absorption efficiency could not reach 100%.

Generally speaking, reaching 90% was already considered an excellent absorption rate!

And as far as he knew, among the more than twenty disciples his teacher had taught the Thunder Undying Body to—

The highest absorption efficiency had only been 92%. His own absorption efficiency back then had not even reached 90%, only 87%.

Now, Xu Jingming had broken the record by reaching a 98% blood essence absorption efficiency, which meant this ferocious beast blood essence was exceptionally compatible with him!

Xu Jingming had no idea what the others were thinking, but the moment the foundation of the Thunder Undying Body was successfully established—

He felt endless negative emotions such as bloodlust and violence erupt from the depths of his heart.

An urge to destroy everything around him arose within him.

Just then, Yang Zhentian's deep voice exploded beside his ears:

"Jingming, wake up!"

The voice was as vast and righteous as spring thunder, instantly sweeping away every negative emotion in Xu Jingming's heart.

"Teacher... what happened to me just now?"

Clarity gradually returned to Xu Jingming's eyes, his expression bewildered.

He had never experienced such a loss of emotional control before cultivating the Thunder Undying Body.

"The Thunder Tyrant Dragon's blood essence must have affected your mind just now."

Yang Zhentian frowned slightly. "Thunder Tyrant Dragons are famously violent even among ferocious beasts.

You absorbed its blood essence, and your absorption efficiency reached an astonishing 98%.

Perhaps it is precisely because the compatibility was too high that this side effect appeared."

Before this, disciples who cultivated the Thunder Undying Body had all been influenced by ferocious beast bloodlines to some degree.

But none had displayed changes as obvious as Xu Jingming's.

"Still, there is no need to worry too much. As long as your emotions do not fluctuate drastically, these negative emotions will not be triggered.

Moreover, as your strength increases, these side effects will gradually disappear."

Yang Zhentian added.

This had already been verified through his own experience and that of his other disciples.

"That's good." Xu Jingming finally sighed in relief.

He had no desire to become someone controlled by his emotions at every moment.

Besides, he could feel that his physique had undergone an unprecedented transformation!

Even if there were some minor side effects, they would not matter much.

Instinctively, Xu Jingming opened his system panel:

Name: Xu Jingming

Level: First-Order Low-Rank (+)

Ability: Purple Heaven Divine Lightning (S)

Physique: 391 Qi-Blood (+)

Mental Strength: 289 Hz (+)

Skills: Spear Technique (Advanced+), Lightning Gale Slash (Advanced+)

Body Tempering: Thunder Undying Body (First Level+)

Ability Points: 2234

My Qi-Blood increased by more than a hundred points at once!

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up slightly.

For Metahumans, aside from their Qi-Blood increasing upon advancing in rank—

Ordinary physical training could only raise Qi-Blood by two or three points.

Yet after gaining over a hundred Qi-Blood from advancing a few days ago, his Qi-Blood had now surged by another hundred points!

Of course, Qi-Blood was merely one of the numerical indicators of physical strength.

Other aspects, such as bodily defense and wound recovery speed, could not be seen from Qi-Blood alone.

Still, he had a feeling.

In his current state, relying solely on his physical strength without using any Battle Techniques or abilities, he could probably fight a Second-Order Ferocious Beast head-on!

In addition, he noticed that a new Body Tempering category had appeared on the system panel.

It seems I'll be able to directly use Ability Points to increase my body-tempering strength in the future.

Xu Jingming secretly rejoiced.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, on successfully establishing the foundation of the Thunder Undying Body. The path of martial arts will be smooth sailing for you from now on."

At this moment, Liu Ming also walked over from the doorway and congratulated him with a smile.

"This is your Senior Brother Liu Ming. You met him the last time you came here."

Yang Zhentian introduced him at the appropriate moment.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Liu."

Xu Jingming put on his shirt and called out respectfully.

"When I saw you last time, Junior Brother, you were not yet Teacher's student. This meeting is different.

But I did not prepare anything. What is your student ID number? I'll transfer you some credits as a greeting gift from your Senior Brother."

Liu Ming had a gentle temperament and immediately offered him a greeting gift.

Seeing that Yang Zhentian beside him did not stop him and instead nodded slightly, Xu Jingming told him his student ID number.

Not long after, his phone received a notification. An additional 200 credits had appeared in his student account.

"That much?!"

Xu Jingming was slightly stunned as he looked at the text notification on his phone.

Two hundred credits meant two million Great Xia Coins.

Was a greeting gift really this valuable?

"It's only 200 credits. It isn't much to your Senior Brother Liu."

Yang Zhentian said with a chuckle, "Senior Brothers should take good care of their Junior Brothers. When you have Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters of your own, you should likewise prepare greeting gifts."

"This student understands."

Xu Jingming nodded to show that he understood.

"The foundation has been successfully established. After five days without food or water, you must be tired. Go back and rest first.

Come back tomorrow morning, then learn fist techniques and spear techniques together with your Senior Brother Liu."

Yang Zhentian then waved his hand. There was also a trace of exhaustion between his brows.

Going five days without food or water was nothing to him as a Seventh-Order Metahuman.

But spending five consecutive days using his abilities with extreme precision to transform Xu Jingming's body had consumed an immense amount of mental energy.

He was telling Xu Jingming to go back and rest, but in truth, he himself needed rest even more.

Xu Jingming naturally saw this as well, so he did not linger. After respectfully taking his leave, he departed from the villa.

"June 22nd... I never expected establishing the foundation would take nearly five days and nights."

Outside the villa, Xu Jingming looked at the date on his phone and could not help sighing.

For those five days and nights, he had endured inhuman pain while needing to remain conscious at all times.

Fortunately, he had persevered and ultimately achieved a 98% blood essence absorption rate, a nearly perfect level of compatibility.

"It's still early. I can head to the martial arts gym and test the strength of my body after establishing the Undying Body."

The blood essence of an Eighth-Order Lower Position Thunder Tyrant Dragon was an SS-rank Resource.

With Yang Zhentian's help, most of that blood essence had fused into Xu Jingming's body and become part of him.

The astonishing energy contained within the blood essence meant that Xu Jingming, who had not eaten anything for five consecutive days, not only did not feel hungry—

Instead, he was full of energy and in high spirits.

Thus, he could not wait to verify exactly how much his strength had increased after obtaining the Thunder Undying Body.
