Lei Dong was slapped out and crashed straight into Lei Ying's waiting embrace.

Looking at Lei Dong, who had vanished for half a day before suddenly appearing in his arms, Lei Ying was overjoyed. "Son, how did it go? Did you obtain the Old Ancestor's inheritance?"

Lei Dong had just been slapped out and had crashed directly into Lei Ying's arms. Lei Ying's body was harder than iron, so the impact left him seeing stars and reeling.

After a moment, enduring the pain coming from his butt and head, Lei Dong climbed out of Lei Ying's embrace.

Lei Dong then said, "Father... I obtained the Old Ancestor's inheritance. These are the Cultivation Method and Dou Skill he gave me."

Naturally, Lei Dong had nothing to hide from Lei Ying.

After all, although he possessed memories from his previous life, the life he had in this life had indeed been given to him by Lei Ying.

Lei Ying was delighted upon hearing this. After glancing over the Cultivation Method and Dou Skill, he said, "As expected, they're extraordinary. But why are the cultivation requirements for these Cultivation Methods and Dou Skills so high?"

Only someone with a God Grade Bloodline could cultivate them. Aside from Lei Dong, where could the Lei Clan find another person with a God Grade Bloodline?

Lei Dong spread his hands and said, "I think the Old Ancestor's 'chosen one' must have referred to this requirement. After all, aside from someone with a God Grade Bloodline, no one else should be able to cultivate his inheritance. That's why I was able to enter."

Lei Ying said, "Forget it, forget it. Son, you must work hard in the future!"

Lei Dong curled his lips, as if to say: If I don't work hard, am I supposed to wait for death?

"By the way, Father, I also obtained a Nine Heavens Divine Lightning from the Old Ancestor!"

As he spoke, Lei Dong slowly opened his hand. In the next moment, nine-colored lightning appeared in his palm.

Upon hearing this, Lei Ying looked at the lightning in Lei Dong's hand. With just one glance, he sensed its extraordinary nature. He even felt that, before this bolt of lightning, his own lightning could not even make the rankings. He stared blankly and said, "Nine Heavens Divine Lightning? What is this?"

Lei Dong explained, "The Old Ancestor said that this lightning's might is no weaker than any Exotic Flame on the Strange Fire Ranking List. It also perfectly complements the Cultivation Method he passed on to me."

"What!?" Upon hearing this, Lei Ying cried out in shock. Although he had also sensed that the lightning was extraordinary, he had never expected it to be this powerful.

He then looked at Lei Dong with a solemn expression and said, "Son, before you possess a certain level of strength, you must never reveal this in front of outsiders!"

Lei Dong naturally understood what Lei Ying meant. If Gu Yuan and Soul Emperor found out about something this good, those two old bastards would certainly come and seize it. When that happened, Lei Ying might not even be able to protect him!

Lei Dong replied, "Don't worry, Father. I understand. Before I possess absolute strength, I definitely won't expose its existence."

Ever since leaving the Cultivation Method and Dou Skill Pavilion, Lei Dong had begun cultivating in seclusion.

He truly could cultivate the Cultivation Method of the Lei Clan Old Ancestor. Moreover, this Heaven Rank Peak Cultivation Method was indeed extraordinary; his cultivation speed had increased once again. Unfortunately, the requirements for cultivating the Dou Skill were all that he had to reach the level of a Dou Emperor Strong Person before he could practice them.

Spring passed and autumn came. Everything seemed to have returned to its ordinary state.

Aside from appearing once during the previous bloodline test, Lei Dong had not shown himself again. Instead, he had remained at home in deep seclusion.

Because of Lei Dong's relentless efforts, his peers in the clan had begun to complain.

After all, he possessed a God Grade Bloodline and was still working so hard. What excuse did the other Lei Clan disciples have not to work hard?

But as time passed and their strength grew, those resentful voices gradually faded.

Five years later...

"Dong'er has been in seclusion for an entire year this time and still hasn't come out. I wonder how he's doing..."

A beautiful woman stood atop a mountain peak, gazing at the Innate Lightning Pool within the clan as she spoke to Lei Ying.

The Innate Lightning Pool was a place for cultivating Lightning Attribute Dou Qi that was inferior to the Demon Lightning Pool. It was especially suitable for Dou Emperor and Dou Zong Strong Persons to cultivate in.

Lei Ying shook his head. "I don't know either. With this boy's talent, breaking through to Dou Emperor shouldn't take this long. Yet this time, he's been gone for an entire year..."

"Boom~~!!!"

"Crackle..."

At that moment, dark clouds suddenly rolled across the sky above the Innate Lightning Pool, and lightning began to flash and thunder.

The moment this phenomenon appeared, nearly a hundred elders of the Lei Clan turned their attention toward it. Lei Ying also stared fixedly at the Innate Lightning Pool.

Looking anxiously at the phenomenon, Huo Yu said, "Husband, let's go see what happened to Dong'er!"

Lei Ying said, "There's no need, Madam. Dong'er has come out."

After not seeing him for a year, Huo Yu discovered that her son had changed tremendously! He was only twelve years old, yet he was already more than 1.7 meters tall. From a distance, he looked like a peerless young master.

Lei Dong wore a white robe. His upright figure appeared straight and powerful. Beneath his sharp brows, his black eyes were filled with coldness. Yet the mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth was enough to attract countless young girls.

After a few breaths, Lei Dong arrived before Lei Ying and Huo Yu and knelt in greeting. "Father, Mother."

Although he had been in seclusion, he had remained aware of everything happening around the Innate Lightning Pool. After all, his Spirit Realm great-perfection Soul Power was not for show.

Thus, he also knew that Lei Ying and Huo Yu had come here every day for the past six months.

"Son, get up quickly. It's been a year. Your mother was worried sick about you."

Huo Yu hurriedly helped Lei Dong up, looking him over from every angle and checking that he had not suffered any injuries. Seeing that his strength had also reached the level of a two-star Dou Emperor, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Dong'er, you only broke through to Dou Emperor. How could it have taken you an entire year?"

Lei Ying, standing beside her, also looked at Lei Dong in confusion. Lei Dong smiled and said, "I successfully broke through after entering for just one month. The reason I stayed inside for so long was simply that the lightning within my body needed nourishment."

Throughout that year, Lei Dong had devoted himself completely to helping the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning absorb lightning power. After all, the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning had been trapped for a thousand years and had even lost its intelligence. Its might had greatly declined! After a year of nourishment, however, it had begun to shine once more.

Lei Ying immediately understood upon hearing this. He then said, "So that's how it is. No wonder it caused such a huge commotion just now! All right, let's go back and rest. Since you've exited seclusion, our Lei Clan's ceremony will be held in three days. By then, the younger generations of several clans will come here to get to know one another. You'd better make your father proud!"

The so-called ceremony was actually just a social gathering between several clans. It allowed the younger generations of the clans to get acquainted with one another. After all, the Ancient Races had a rule forbidding them from attacking each other. This was also why, despite the Xiao Clan's decline, the other clans had not joined forces to exterminate it. Even when the Soul Clan attacked the Xiao Clan, it had done so through the Yun Lan Sect!

However, even though the truth was discovered, the Soul Clan itself had not acted. The ones who had acted were the Soul Hall. At the time, the Soul Clan simply refused to acknowledge it, leaving no one able to say anything. Of course, this grand ceremony could also be said to be an occasion for each clan to bring out its youngest and most outstanding disciples and show them off.

Lei Dong actually did not want to participate. He did not care much about becoming famous. After all, even if he became the strongest of the younger generation, so what? Before an absolute Strong Person, he was still just a weakling. But the Lei Clan was warlike! Among the younger generation, Lei Dong was the strongest. The Lei Clan's ceremony mainly consisted of arena battles. If Lei Dong could not defend his position, would the Lei Clan not suffer enormous humiliation?

(The "younger generation" here refers to clan members under sixteen years old.)

Thus, although he did not want to draw too much attention, unfortunately, his father simply would not allow it!
