"You can call me Ming." A deep, magnetic voice suddenly came from the black-haired young man, who looked as radiant as a god.
"Ming?" The golden-haired girl Mira gazed at him with sparkling eyes, deeply engraving the name into her heart.
If he had not appeared just now, she would certainly have gone to meet the great Lord of Arid Thunder by now. (According to the myths and legends of Arid Thunder Star, after death, one could meet the supreme ruler who created Arid Thunder Star—the Lord of Arid Thunder.)
"So this is a Barren Thunder Pearl? It does look quite beautiful." With a flick of the purple spear in his hand, Lu Ming found the Barren Thunder Pearl hidden inside the dead beast's body.
It was a purple bead nearly twenty centimeters in diameter. It was faintly translucent and seemed to contain an invisible fluctuation, giving off a sensation somewhat like a heartbeat, wave after wave.
Moreover, the purple bead seemed to contain an extremely condensed source of energy.
Barren Thunder Beasts were a special type of beast found on Arid Thunder Star. Their status among the beast populations of Arid Thunder Star was no less than that of the extremely rare Barren Thunder Warriors among humans. In fact, because beasts were inherently more brutal and survival-of-the-fittest, nearly every Barren Thunder Beast was capable of ruling over others within the beast populations.
And the Purple Spirit Thunder Dragon Lu Ming had just killed was considered an especially savage and terrifying existence even among Barren Thunder Beasts of the same level.
These special beasts were called Barren Thunder Beasts for two reasons. First, they all possessed powerful innate gifts and were naturally adept at controlling the power of lightning, making them far stronger than ordinary beasts of the same level.
