Feeling Somewhat Superfluous! Leng Yuexi's Invitation!

Virtual World, arena.

Lightning coiled around Xu Jingming as he repeatedly tested the Thunder Sword Formation battle technique—he had already conducted more than a thousand trials!

"S-rank. The Thunder Sword Formation's power has increased by around another 0.54%. It can now be rated as an S+ Rank battle technique."

After another attack, Eva, looking like a little sprite, appeared on Xu Jingming's shoulder.

She lightly sat there, her pair of fair, jade-like feet swaying gently and contentedly.

"It has reached an S+ Rank rating? That should be about enough."

Whoosh—

All eighteen golden sword blades retracted, quietly hovering behind Xu Jingming.

The S+ Rank Thunder Sword Formation was more or less the limit of what he could currently achieve.

To raise it to SS-rank without using the system, he would still need to draw from more battle techniques.

"Let's go. Back to the real world to forge the sword blades."

Just as Xu Jingming was about to leave the Virtual World, Eva on his shoulder suddenly said:

"Half an hour ago, Leng Yuexi sent you a teleportation invitation.

"I saw that you were testing battle techniques, so I didn't disturb you. Are you going over now?"

"Sister Xi is looking for me?"

Ever since they had parted ways in the Wilderness Area while searching for divine blood, Xu Jingming had not contacted Leng Yuexi again.

She would need to be notified again, and only after she logged in could they teleport once more.

Yet after Xu Jingming chose teleportation, he vanished from where he stood almost instantly.

That meant
