36. We've Been Forced Out

He acted so quickly not because he was training his physique, but because Lei Dong had discovered a sentient Black Lightning!

Although he had no idea what this lightning was, Lei Dong clearly understood how much the "Nine Heavens Divine Lightning" inside him desired it!

So, ever since discovering this "Black Lightning," Lei Dong had been relentlessly pursuing it.

"Rumble..."

Not only could this Black Lightning flee, but it could also attack Lei Dong. After clashing with him earlier and losing, it had begun fleeing while launching sudden attacks at him.

"Fuck! You damn black lightning, just wait until I catch you. I'll blast you to pieces."

Lei Dong was rather furious. After all, how could he not be angry when he had actually been toyed with by a ball of lightning? But anger was one thing—what could he do?

One man chased, one lightning bolt fled. In this bizarre Lei Domain space, neither could stop. The pursuit continued for several months. Lei Dong had no idea how much time had passed, but Heaven rewarded the determined, and he finally caught it. With the help of the "Nine Heavens Divine Lightning," he also completely refined it.

After refining this Black Lightning, Lei Dong felt his strength directly rise by two major realms, from Peak Five Star Dou Zun to Peak Seven Star Dou Zun!

But everything had its pros and cons. After absorbing this "Black Lightning," he was suddenly thrown out by a powerful repulsive force.

By the time Lei Dong reacted, he had already appeared inside the Lei Realm.

"Young... Young Clan Leader!?"

Right after he emerged, two powerful auras appeared beside him. One of the people was slightly startled upon seeing Lei Dong, because Lei Dong's appearance had changed far too much.

If they had not personally opened the entrance and sent Lei Dong inside, they might not have recognized him at all.

These two were the Half Saint elders guarding the "Demon Lightning Pool."

When Lei Dong entered, they had been the ones to open the entrance for him. However, in all the years the "Demon Lightning Pool" had existed, no one had ever come out on their own.

After confirming that it was Lei Dong, the two elders were once again stunned and looked at each other.

After all, Lei Dong had entered the "Demon Lightning Pool" only four years ago, yet he had actually advanced directly from Peak Dou Zong to Peak Seven Star Dou Zun!?

After their shock faded, one of the elders asked doubtfully, "Young Clan Leader, how did you come out?"

The elder who had asked the question paused. This was the first time he had ever heard of someone being expelled by the "Demon Lightning Pool"...

Although he was suspicious about what being expelled even meant, he first answered Lei Dong's question. "Young Clan Leader, you have been inside the Demon Lightning Pool for four years."

"Only four years?" Lei Dong muttered in dissatisfaction. After all, he had spent less time inside than that native fellow!

Four years was not a short time. After all, the longest anyone in the entire Lei Clan had stayed there was Lei Ying, who had also spent four years inside. Yet when Lei Ying emerged, he had not grown as powerful as Lei Dong had!

But seeing Lei Dong's dissatisfied expression, the two elders truly had no idea how to console him.

After pondering for a moment, Lei Dong left directly. The two elders did not even have time to tell him about the changes to his appearance.

Lei Dong streaked toward the Great Hall of the Lei Clan.

He wanted to ask Lei Ying if he knew what was going on and why he had suddenly come out...

Now that he no longer felt any pressure, Lei Dong's speed had reached an astonishing level. He vanished from the spot in an instant. In terms of speed alone, he had already surpassed some Half Saints!

Even the two elders could not help feeling shocked once more when they saw Lei Dong suddenly leave...

Within a few breaths, Lei Dong appeared inside the Great Hall of the Lei Clan. Even he was somewhat unaccustomed to how fast he had become.

At that moment, Lei Ying and a group of high-ranking Lei Clan elders were discussing various clan affairs. They all sensed a somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar aura approaching at the same time—and at an extremely rapid speed!

The next moment, Lei Ying and several elders appeared outside the Great Hall together.

Then, they saw a young man nearly 1.9 meters tall standing before them.

(The protagonist is already twenty-three. Calling him a youth seems a bit excessive.)

The newcomer wore a white robe and trousers, with long silver-white hair cascading over his body. His features were exquisite, and beneath his sharp brows were eyes that seemed like dawn yet were as deep and mysterious as the night sky...

Combined with the mischievous smile at the corner of his lips, he gave off the impression that he was definitely no good person!

But it had to be said that he now looked as if he had stepped out of a painting. His appearance was practically a gift from Heaven.

Although he had changed somewhat, Lei Ying and the several elders recognized him at a glance.

"You're Dong'er!?"

After Lei Dong swallowed the "Black Lightning," his aura had changed somewhat. Even his appearance had changed considerably. He simply did not know it yet.

Hearing the trace of doubt in Lei Ying's voice, Lei Dong said unhappily, "Father, I was only in seclusion for four years, and you already don't recognize me? That really hurts my feelings."

After hearing that familiar tone, how could Lei Ying not know that this was his own son?

"Hahaha... Son, you've finally exited seclusion. Oh, not bad! You've actually reached Seven Star Dou Zun!"

The next moment, Lei Ying burst into laughter. After sensing Lei Dong's aura, his delight doubled.

Several high-ranking elders also looked at Lei Dong at the same time and congratulated him. "Congratulations, Young Clan Leader!"

Lei Ying then asked, "Dong'er, you still don't know about the changes to yourself, do you?"

Lei Dong was stunned upon hearing this, then asked, "Have I changed?"

Lei Ying did not say anything more to Lei Dong. Instead, he took Lei Dong back into the Great Hall. After all, he did not know how to describe Lei Dong's current appearance either. It was better to let him see for himself.
