The Dean Who Set His Students Up, Mang Tianchi

"Sizzle."

The instant Xiao Yuan rushed into the Thunder Pool, numerous bolts of lightning shot out like silver snakes, striking Xiao Yuan with lightning speed. However, upon contact with his body, these bolts emitted a faint, muffled sound before being absorbed into Xiao Yuan's body. Although the power of these lightning bolts was formidable, it was still far inferior to the Black Demon Lightning within Xiao Yuan's body. Moreover, Xiao Yuan also possessed Heavenly Flames filled with destructive power. With this double protection, he naturally had no fear of the power of these lightning bolts.

Seeing Xiao Yuan fall into the Thunder Pool as easily as walking on flat ground, the black dragon also burst out with a strong light, and then quickly transformed into a strong figure. It crossed its legs and sat down in the void, its eyes fixed on the inside of the Thunder Pool.

"Boom boom boom!"

In the sea of thunder, lightning bolts, like silver snakes, continuously exploded everywhere, while Xiao Yuan constantly circulated his Demon Lightning Body, absorbing the power of the thunder and turning it into the best supplement for the Black Demon Lightning within his body.

After walking two hundred feet inward, Xiao Yuan finally stopped. The lightning power here was already quite concentrated. Going further in would reduce the absorption efficiency and increase the risk unnecessarily.

It should be noted that this Void Thunder Pool contains countless bolts of lightning power. If one is not careful, it could trigger a full-scale counterattack from the Thunder Pool. Even with the protection of Heavenly Flames, he would probably be blasted into nothingness in an instant.

"This will do."

Having made his decision, Xiao Yuan no longer hesitated. He sat down cross-legged and calmed his mind. With a wave of his hand, eleven puppets were summoned.

Ten of them were Di Yao Kui obtained from Ancient Ruins, and one was Tian Yao Kui Mo Yu.

He had basically refined the puppets of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion to their limits, so they were left to guard the gate of the Starfall Pavilion.

It's funny to think about it. Before, Wind Venerable complained that Starfall Pavilion had too few experts, but after Xiao Yuan gave him the Tian Yao Kui made by the six people from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, even Wind Venerable, with his knowledge, was stunned for a long time - he had never been so rich before!

Xiao Yuan chuckled lightly, then with a flick of his sleeve, a gentle force pushed the eleven Demon Puppet in front of him toward a spot where the power of thunder was particularly concentrated.

Boom! Boom! Boom! As soon as the Demon Puppet flew out, the surrounding lightning seemed to be drawn by something, suddenly changed direction, and then frantically bombarded the Demon Puppet. However, these seemingly violent lightning bolts disappeared instantly upon contact with the Demon Puppet' bodies, just like water hitting a sponge.

Enormous bolts of lightning, accompanied by thunderous roars, crashed down upon the Demon Puppet Demon Puppet, continuously strengthening them under the furious onslaught of the lightning.

Within the Thunder Pool lies an extremely dense and violent energy. Ordinary Dou Zun would never dare to absorb this energy easily, but for Xiao Yuan, the more violent the better!

The violent energy would first be filtered by Xiao Yuan's powerful body, and then refined into the purest Dou Qi by the Heavenly Flames, flowing through his meridians and continuously being injected into his Qi Mansion.

As time went by, Xiao Yuan's aura also began to grow stronger.

Before arriving here, Xiao Yuan had already reached the peak of the Four Star Dou Zun. When he was refining the Dragon Phoenix Crystal Layer for Zi Yan, his Dou Qi was consumed several times. In addition, with the five drops of Ancient Dragon Essence Blood with enormous energy and the trace of Dragon Phoenix Power injected by Zi Yan, he successfully broke through to the Five Star Dou Zun realm after only three days of cultivation.

After successfully breaking through, Xiao Yuan did not stop, but chose to continue absorbing the energy here.

The rumbling thunder echoed endlessly in this void. Within the silver thunder pool, Xiao Yuan sat cross-legged, surrounded by eleven puppets forming a circle. Violent lightning roared wildly outside the circle, and thick bolts of lightning continuously bombarded the eleven puppets. However, this terrifying bombardment did not cause the puppets to tremble in the slightest. On the contrary, it made the colors on the puppets' bodies even more dazzling.

Two months have passed since Xiao Yuan entered the Thunder Pool.

"Coo coo."

The Thunder Pool emitted strange sounds, and streams of exceptionally powerful and violent energy, mixed with silver lightning, swirled around Xiao Yuan Xiao Yuan surging wildly towards his body.

Faced with this surging, violent energy, Xiao Yuan did not move an inch. His body was like a bottomless pit, allowing the immense energy to pour in.

As more and more energy poured in, a massive lightning vortex, hundreds of feet in size, condensed above Xiao Yuan's head. The vortex spun rapidly, and streams of energy surged out wildly.

"Boom!"

After an unknown period of time, the thunder vortex finally showed signs of weakening, and at this moment, Xiao Yuan was covered in Silver Lightning, as if the Thunder God Descent.

After the thunder vortex dissipated, the arcs of lightning that had been dancing on Xiao Yuan's body all disappeared into his skin.

The next moment, Xiao Yuan's tightly closed eyes finally opened again.

"Call"

A burst of energy crackling with electricity shot out from Xiao Yuan's throat. His aura had actually reached the level of a six- Dou Zun!

"Six- Dou Zun, huh?"

A look of satisfaction appeared on Xiao Yuan's face. Calculating the time, he would soon be heading to the Ancient Clan. With a slight increase in strength, he would have more confidence.

Having advanced to the sixth star, Xiao Yuan could directly reach the strength of Nine Stars Dou Zun if he were to use the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations again. As long as Half-Saint doesn't make a move, no one would dare to act recklessly in front of him.

As for Half-Saint?

He naturally had other means to deal with it! Looking at the ten puppets around him, Xiao Yuan's face lit up with joy. The ten Di Yao Kui had completely transformed into a golden color, and they had obviously successfully advanced to Tian Yao Kui!

And that Tian Yao Kui, Mo Yu, has now reached the level of Nine Stars Dou Zun! Seeing this, Xiao Yuan smiled with satisfaction, then stood up, stretched, put away the puppet, and prepared to leave.

However, the next moment, he suddenly turned his head and stared straight into the depths of the Thunder Pool. In his powerful soul perception, an extremely violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from that direction.

Something doesn't feel right.

Although he didn't see anything, Xiao Yuan felt that something was wrong, so he immediately flew out of the Thunder Pool.

Whatever trouble comes up, I'm off!

However, just as Xiao Yuan's figure had floated ten zhang away, an invisible force shot out from the depths of the Thunder Pool. Wherever this force reached, the terrifying lightning was almost instantly annihilated. "What a terrifying force!"

Feeling this invisible force, Xiao Yuan's hair stood on end.

"Laugh!"

As Xiao Yuan's scalp tingled, he saw a figure emerge in a disheveled state from the annihilation zone torn apart by the powerful wind. Behind him, a dozen enormous, chillingly black bolts of lightning followed like black dragons. The moment Xiao Yuan saw those massive black lightning bolts, his heart turned icy cold. These were all Black Demon Lightning! And none of them were the nascent Black Demon Lightning within him; they were all mature ones!

Even Dou Sheng Expert would find it troublesome, so how could Xiao Yuan dare to linger? His speed was instantly increased to the extreme, and Xiao Yuan even used the Heavenly Lightning Movement.

He didn't pay attention to the disheveled figure being chased by the Black Demon Lightning, but he didn't dare to look back either. The person was stronger than him, but the Black Demon Lightning behind him was even more terrifying! Xiao Yuan understood that with his strength, if he were touched even a little bit by that pitch-black lightning, he would probably be blasted into nothingness! However, the figure behind him seemed to have noticed him, and then, to Xiao Yuan's horrified gaze, chased straight after him.

"No, buddy, don't come any closer!"

Feeling the terrifying pressure surging from behind, Xiao Yuan wanted to cry. That guy clearly wanted to find a helper to resist the black lightning, but obviously, his perception was not as good as Xiao Yuan's, so he overestimated Xiao Yuan.

"Friends ahead"

As Xiao Yuan sprinted forward, the sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out behind him, and then a ghostly figure appeared beside him. The figure uttered a single sentence and exclaimed in astonishment:

"A six- Dou Zun? Are you kidding me? You dare come to the Void Thunder Pool with this level of strength? Are you out of your mind?"

Upon hearing this voice, veins throbbed on Xiao Yuan's forehead. What's wrong with a six- Dou Zun? Did a six- Dou Zun eat your rice?

Out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Yuan was that although the old man looked very disheveled, he still gave people a feeling of being full of energy, as if the earth-shattering black lightning behind him had not caused him much damage.

"Oh no, I actually ate their rice!"

After a moment, Xiao Yuan remembered who the old man in front of him was, and fell silent.

That's the damn thing! It's Mang Tianchi, the dean of the Jia Nan Academy! "Are you kidding me? These things are way too fast! Fine, kid, I'll be going first."

The disheveled old man naturally noticed this situation. He let out a strange cry, and the space in front of him distorted as he disappeared inside. When he reappeared, he was already a thousand meters away. "Damn it, Dean, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

Seeing the old man run away so suddenly, Xiao Yuan was stunned and then shouted.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Mang Tianchi was taken aback, then glanced back and realized that the child did look familiar. Oh no, isn't this my successor? His name is Xiao Yuan, isn't it?

Mang Tianchi flashed back, grabbed Xiao Yuan's shoulder, and then his figure flashed again, bringing Xiao Yuan to appear a thousand meters away.

The place where the two had been standing was also completely ravaged by the Black Demon Lightning, leaving the space in a state of utter chaos.

Outside the Thunder Pool, Mang Tianchi stopped Xiao Yuan with him in his arms, stared at the white-robed youth in front of him for a long time, and then said something that left Xiao Yuan speechless, "You brat, you really have a lot of guts. You dare to come in and die with this little bit of strength."

"Hmph, it's not as good as you, Dean, being chased up and down by the Black Demon Lightning."

Xiao Yuan also snorted coldly.

"Are you kidding me? You think you can chase me around like this? If I wasn't worried that taking action would cause this place to erupt, I would have wiped those things out long ago."

Upon hearing this, Mang Tianchi reacted as if he had heard something unbelievable, his beard bristling and eyes wide with disbelief.

Xiao Yuan curled his lips and rolled his eyes at Mang Tianchi: "Oh right, you're so impressive, leaving the students behind to take the brunt of the damage."

"Didn't I rescue you?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Mang Tianchi didn't bother to argue and awkwardly glanced around.

"Ahem, well, the creatures deep within this Thunder Pool are quite peculiar. They are formed from the power of lightning and can be directly absorbed. They are a great tonic for cultivation. You're quite fast, kid. How about we team up and go deeper in for some fun?"

Awkwardly, Mang Tianchi changed the subject.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan quickly shook his head. Go deeper in to play? What a joke! That level of Black Demon Lightning could kill him with a single strike. Going in would be no different from suicide. "Tsk, not only is your strength lacking, but your courage is also quite cowardly."

Seeing Xiao Yuan shake his head, Mang Tianchi couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Hehe, I'll go back to the academy right now and tell Great Elder Su Qian that you dragged me to deal with Black Demon Lightning, which even Half-Saint level expert wouldn't dare to face. See if the Great Elder can nag you to death."

Xiao Yuan said with a forced smile.

"Oh, well... we can talk this over!"

Upon hearing this, Mang Tianchi's expression changed immediately, and he said with a smile.

"Laugh!"

As Xiao Yuan remained silent, a whooshing sound suddenly swept in from afar, followed by a loud voice. "Brother Xiao Yuan, are you alright?"

"Huh? They're actually from the Ancient Void Dragon?"

Upon seeing the approaching figure, Mang Tianchi was slightly taken aback, then glanced at Xiao Yuan with surprise, seemingly wondering why an ordinary human like the latter would be involved with the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe.

"Alright, you're going to the Ancient Clan with your little brother later, right? Don't worry, I'll protect you both. Just focus on your cultivation!"

Mang Tianchi seemed unwilling to see anyone else, so he waved to Xiao Yuan and before the latter could speak, he turned around, causing a spatial fluctuation, and his figure quickly disappeared.

Seeing such an unreliable dean, Xiao Yuan had no choice but to turn his head and look at the approaching Hei Qing.

"Phew, finally found you. Luckily, you have the Dragon Emperor's Dragon Mark inside you, otherwise you would have been really hard to find."

Seeing that Xiao Yuan was safe and sound, Hei Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"I encountered a minor accident in the Thunder Pool, so I came out on my own," Xiao Yuan smiled, not going into details about what happened in the Thunder Pool. Then he waved his hand and said, "My cultivation is almost complete, let's go back."

"Okay, I'm so bored."

Upon hearing this, Hei Qing was overjoyed and nodded quickly. Then, his whole body shone brightly, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a huge black dragon. Xiao Yuan's body swayed and he leaped up. The next moment, the black dragon's tail suddenly lashed out, and his figure shot out, disappearing into the end of the void in the blink of an eye.
