Mang Tianchi

In a world of dazzling silver, Thunder roared like a raging dragon, its deafening rumble echoing endlessly through the void. Such a wondrous phenomenon could only exist in this Void Space.

Beside the Black Thunder Pool, a figure sat cross-legged, and not far from this figure, a vortex slowly rotated.

Suddenly, the appearance of a figure broke the silence.

The owner of this figure appeared to be quite old, with a head full of pale hair. He wore a dark blue robe, and his body was crackling with Lei Guang, yet he exuded a sense of vitality, clearly indicating that the Lei Guang was his own power.

His ability to venture into the Thunder Pool truly demonstrates his extraordinary nature, and his subsequent words confirm this.

"I never imagined that such a strange creature existed deep within this Void Thunder Pool, entirely formed from the Lightning Power. If I could directly absorb it using my Thunder Clan's Secret Technique for cultivation, it would be an immense tonic!"

Mang Tianchi marveled at the Black Sea of Lightning before him, feeling incredibly lucky.

His discovery of the Thunder Pool was accidental. He had originally intended to tear through the void for a long-distance teleportation, but unexpectedly, the Thunder Pool happened to be right on his route.

Ordinary people would naturally detour around the Thunder Pool, but Mang Tianchi loved to travel the world and explore such strange and mysterious places. Now that he had seen such a strange place as the Thunder Pool, he naturally did not want to let it go.

So Mang Tianchi barged in, and the first thing he saw was Black Thunder Pool that filled his field of vision.

Overjoyed, Mang Tianchi was about to make a move when he caught a glimpse of Xiao Ming and "Ling" cultivating out of the corner of his eye.

The slight aura that the latter inadvertently emitted during his cultivation caused Tong Kong to shrink back.

"Holy crap, where did this monster come from?!"

As soon as he said those words, Xiao Ming's eyelids twitched slightly, making Mang Tianchi's heart tighten.

Opening his eyes, which had been closed for a month, Xiao Ming saw faint black Lei Guang flashing between his twin eyes. As he slightly opened his mouth, a deep rumble of thunder came from his throat.

"Call..."

A stream of Aura, carrying a hint of black electricity, was exhaled from Xiao Ming's mouth. He stood up, and a series of crisp crackling sounds emanated from his body. A sense of boundless power arose, as if a giant dragon was lurking within his muscles. With just a thought, the dragon would rise up and unleash a terrifying destructive force that would leave one speechless.

"I was so close to becoming Four Star Dou Sheng... What a pity."

Xiao Ming briefly sensed his body and then shook his head regretfully. After his strength increased to the Late Stage Three Star Dou Sheng, it seemed that his body had developed some resistance to the Black Demonic Lightning. The originally significant improvement had become much smaller. As a result, he had no choice but to withdraw from his cultivation state.

With a wave of his hand, a white light burst forth from the depths of the Thunder Pool, flashing downwards and appearing beside him—it was the "spirit" that had devoured a month's worth of Black Demonic Lightning.

Xiao Ming's gaze swept over Ling Shang, sensing the violent Lightning Power contained within the latter's body, and Xiao Ming couldn't help but nod slightly.

His own strength has improved, and his "spirit" has also improved. Although the gap between Dou Sheng is too large, when the two are combined, an ordinary Four Star Dou Sheng is no match for him. If he uses all his methods, even Five Star Dou Sheng can't do anything to him. As for Six-Star, the gap is still too large. It's hard to say without trying. Maybe when his soul reaches the Heaven Realm Great Perfection, he can say that he can definitely beat Early Six Star.

After putting away the spirit, Xiao Ming turned his gaze to Mang Tianchi.

At this moment, Mang Tianchi caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to stay or leave. Seeing Xiao Ming's gaze upon him, he could only manage a forced smile and extend his hand in greeting.

"Hey, hello there."

Seeing the old man's somewhat comical smile, Xiao Ming smiled faintly and nodded.

"Hello."

Mang Tianchi sensed Mang Tianchi's arrival, as he perceived that Mang Tianchi's cultivation level was at the Peak Dou Zun, posing no threat to him. Therefore, Xiao Ming did not deal with him immediately.

Seeing that Xiao Ming seemed easy to talk to, Mang Tianchi became bolder. Of course, he didn't intend to have much contact with him; he just wanted to leave.

"I'm sorry to have disturbed your cultivation. I'll be leaving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mang Tianchi tried to fly away, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Xiao Ming, who was originally behind him, running in front of him.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Mang Tianchi's forehead. He cursed his bad luck inwardly. This seemingly young guy must be an Undying Dou Sheng. How did he end up in the other party's training ground?

It seems the only option is to invoke the Thunder Clan's name, hoping the other party will spare him trouble out of respect for the Thunder Clan.

"I am Mang Tianchi, Clan Leader..."

Mang Tianchi? It really was him.

Xiao Ming, who was already having some guesses, understood something when he heard these three words.

The Original Work doesn't specify when Mang Tianchi discovered the Void Thunder Pool; it only mentions that Xiao Yan cultivated there and then encountered Mang Tianchi, who was being chased by the Black Demonic Lightning.

At that time, Mang Tianchi was still Dou Zun, but later, when he joined the Ancient Clan, he became Half-Saint).

Xiao Ming speculated that the Mang Tianchi must have relied on the Black Demonic Lightning here to break through, but with the Mang Tianchi...

At such a level, capturing Black Demonic Lightning is no easy task. It seems the other party must have come here many times before barely managing to capture Black Demonic Lightning.

The fact that Mang Tianchi was able to devour the Black Demonic Lightning must be because the other party was a member of the Thunder Clan; perhaps it possessed some special abilities.

Of course, what was mentioned above refers to what happened in the original Timeline. As for now, this is Mang Tianchi's first time visiting the Void Thunder Pool.

After listening to Mang Tianchi finish reporting his strength, Xiao Ming spoke, and his words immediately stunned the other party.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. My name is Xiao Ming, and I should actually call you Dean."

"What? Dean?" Mang Tianchi's eyes widened suddenly.

"Wait, you're Xiao Ming? The Xiao Ming from the Heavenly Court? You came from the Jia Nan Academy!"

Seeing Xiao Ming smile and nod, the slight tension in Mang Tianchi's heart quickly disappeared.

"Haha, it's our first time meeting, and I didn't even recognize you! So you're the Xiao Ming that Su Qian kept sending me messages about!"

The old man's beard twitched, then he grinned and moved closer to Xiao Ming, reaching out to pinch the latter's arm. He chuckled, "Not bad, not bad! That Su Qian guy didn't mess with me this time. He really is a peerless prodigy!"

Xiao Ming's lips twitched as he looked at the smiling old man in front of him. Just a moment ago, the old man was afraid that Xiao Ming would make a move against him, but now he's getting so close. Xiao Ming's personality is really hard to describe.
