Lei Clan Trip
On this continent, only two groups, as commonly known, are capable of silently erasing the power of Ancient Race like the Spirit Clan and the Shi Clan: the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan.
For a time, much suspicion and doubt were directed at these two forces. The Soul Clan made no statement regarding these suspicions, which was consistent with their usual approach.
However, the Ancient Clan were somewhat troubled. They originally had a good relationship with other Ancient Race, but with the disappearance of the Spirit Clan and the Shi Clan, their relationship immediately became awkward.
Fortunately, the Yan Clan and the Ancient Clan were aware of the Soul Clan's ambitions, but even so, in order to appear as if they knew nothing, the Yan Clan still severed ties with the Ancient Clan.
At this very moment, Xiao Yuan arrived at the Thunder Clan, where he was greeted by Mang Tianchi, the dean of the Jia Nan Academy.
After all, they were old acquaintances. After some preparation, Mang Tianchi led Xiao Yuan into the Lei World.
Having just entered the Divine Palace Realm, Xiao Yuan was determined to test it out, and immediately unleashed his soul power.
Immediately, the entire Lei World appeared in Xiao Yuan's mind as if it had been transformed into a 3D model.
He also pinpointed the location of the traitor guarding the Ancient Jade in the Thunder Clan.
However, entering the Thunder Clan is not as easy as entering the Yan Clan.
Not far from the Thunder Clan's main hall, there is a training ground. This is where the Thunder Clan trains on a daily basis, and it is also a favorite place for many young members of the Thunder Clan. Therefore, it is quite popular. Upon hearing that the Young Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan had come to visit, many young people wanted to spar with him.
At this moment, a large crowd of people, mostly dressed in silver armor, gathered around the training ground. They were the renowned Thunder Guard of the Thunder Clan, whose overall combat strength was quite formidable, and they could be considered the Thunder Clan's Black Annihilation Army.
Of course, in terms of overall strength, the Thunder Guard is no match for the Black Annihilation Army.
Becoming a member of the Thunder Guard is the dream of many young Thunder Clan. If one can stand out from the crowd, one can be promoted to the position of commander. Such a position is considered extremely prestigious even within the Thunder Clan. Therefore, many members of the Thunder Clan cultivate to become Thunder Guard from a young age! On the training ground, the Thunder Guard warriors, clad in silver armor, surrounded the area. However, they were all staring intently at Xiao Yuan in the center of the field. Around him, a dozen or so figures sat slumped on the ground, completely unable to fight. On the foreheads of these people was a lightning bolt mark, the Thunder Clan's Clan Mark.
"The Thunder Clan's Thunder Guard are indeed quite good."
Xiao Yuan nodded and said calmly.
However, in his opinion, they were indeed inferior to the Black Annihilation Army.
But compared to the Starfall Pavilion's team, it was indeed a crushing defeat.
As soon as he arrived, members of the Thunder Guard shouted that they wanted to see Xiao Yuan, the Young Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan, who had shoved the Yao Wangui into the ground, and even said they wanted to spar with him.
Isn't that bullying? With the aura of Three Star Dou Sheng activated, he casually knocked down a large group of people with a single strike. Among the Thunder Guard, apart from a man in silver robes, none of the others were a match for him.
Mang Tianchi nodded in satisfaction.
Ultimately, although he was a member of the Thunder Clan, he wasn't particularly close to Lei Dong. To be precise, Xiao Yuan was his direct disciple, and they were much closer.
Mang Tianchi certainly didn't want his student to suffer a loss, so he immediately introduced Lei Dong's information to Xiao Yuan.
Lei Dong, the most dazzling genius of the Thunder Clan in hundreds of years, once stayed in the Demon Lightning Pool of the Lei World for five years, which is a year longer than the record set by Lei Ying when he was young. Although the Thunder Clan's cultivation of him was indispensable, his ability and talent are beyond doubt. Now the Thunder Clan is preparing to train him to be the next clan leader.
Xiao Yuan was busy with important matters and naturally didn't want to waste time with small talk. He immediately looked at Lei Dong and said, "Shall we have a go?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Dong nodded, licked his lips, and a glint of black lightning flashed in his eyes as he said:
"Since Brother Xiao Yuan has said so, then please do!"
As he uttered his last word, black lightning suddenly surged from his body, crackling and swirling around him like electric snakes. An exceptionally violent aura spread out, moving many people.
"Black Demon Lightning?"
Looking at the familiar black lightning on Lei Dong's body, Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn't expected that Lei Dong could control the Black Demon Lightning, so his combat power must be quite strong. But this didn't seem to have any deterrent effect on him. Lei Dong frowned. He looked at the white-robed youth in front of him, and felt a sense of danger in his heart. Others might think that Xiao Yuan's defeat of Yao Wangui was a rumor, but he knew that it was indeed true. Moreover, he knew that Yao Wangui was almost completely suppressed in Xiao Yuan's hands.
He had once heard the clan leader say that among the younger generation of the Douqi Continent, Xiao Yuan of the Xiao Clan was the most outstanding!
Lei Dong would never forget the sigh in Lei Ying's voice when he said those words. It was truly unbelievable that such a person would appear in the fallen Xiao Clan.
Lei Dong was warlike by nature. In order to cultivate, he was able to persist in the Demon Lightning Pool for five years without regard for anything else. During this time, he suffered the pain of being devoured by thousands of lightning bolts. With the nurturing of the Thunder Clan's many resources, he achieved his current success. Deep down, he was very unwilling to admit that his achievements were not even comparable to those of a person from a fallen race!
Xiao Yuan didn't bother to care what Lei Dong thought, and simply smiled, indicating that Lei Dong could take the initiative to make a move:
"Please!"
"Boom!"
Lei Dong Dong's expression was extremely solemn. Xiao Yuan's nonchalant demeanor made him feel immense pressure. However, he was also a decisive person. As soon as Xiao Yuan's laughter subsided, his figure transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot out. He clenched his fist, and black lightning rapidly surged along his arm, finally condensing into a black spear in his palm. Arcs of lightning danced on the spear.
"Laugh!"
Lei Dong with incredible speed, appearing before Xiao Yuan almost in the blink of an eye. His spear shadow danced, and countless sharp spear winds enveloped Xiao Yuan's vital points. On the tip of the spear, a faint, dark arc of black lightning flickered. If it touched him, even Three Star Dou Sheng expert would have a bloody hole pierced through his body.
The crowd outside the arena held their breath as they watched the rapid, suffocating barrage of gunfire. They simply couldn't imagine how they would cope with such a high frequency of attacks. "As expected of Brother Lei Dong!"
The Thunder Guard, who had been knocked down, sighed.
However, the next moment, to their astonishment, Xiao Yuan also conjured a black lightning spear, but unlike them, this spear was decorated with golden thread-like dragon patterns.
Ping ping bang bang!
The two men's lightning spears clashed and collided, creating a dense barrage of spear shadows.
"Lei Dong guns are no match for Xiao Yuan."
Mang Tianchi looked at the arena with some surprise, and suddenly said in disbelief, "Lei Dong is Late Three-Star Dou Saint, and with his mutated lightning Dou Qi, his attack power can rival that of Four-Star Dou Sheng. Yet, this kind of powerful strength was easily dealt with by Xiao Yuan, Three Star Dou Sheng. Just what level has this kid's combat power reached?"
Outsiders could see the situation clearly, and Lei Dong, as the protagonist, naturally noticed it as well. He became more and more alarmed as the fight progressed. Xiao Yuan in front of him was like a black hole. No matter how fierce his attacks were, they would be quietly swallowed up and would not cause him any harm.
"Demon Lightning Meteor!"
Lei Dong's face was tense. Suddenly, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. The fierce spear shadows all around him suddenly stopped. He bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood. Black lightning arcs flashed in the blood and landed on the spear tip. The spear tip immediately turned extremely dark. Then, Lei Dong shook the spear and suddenly increased the speed to the extreme. He thrust the spear at Xiao Yuan's throat like lightning.
"So fast!"
Lei Dong's sudden acceleration caused many people's expressions to change. Even some second- or third-star Dou Sheng Expert could only see a flash of black light.
"Laugh!"
The contact was instantaneous. Just as everyone saw a flash of black light in their eyes, a soft sound rang out from the arena. They hurriedly looked over and saw that Lei Dong's spear tip had been grabbed by Xiao Yuan with his bare hands. No matter how frantically Lei Dong urged his Dou Qi, he could not break through half a step forward.
Lei Dong's full-force attack was actually caught by Xiao Yuan's bare palm!?
"Bang!"
Clenching his teeth, Lei Dong slammed his palm down on the gun handle. Black lightning erupted from the tip, instantly striking Xiao Yuan's arm. However, before he could even feel joy, the black lightning quickly dimmed, as if swallowed by something. "A familiar scent."
After devouring the Black Demon Lightning that had invaded his body, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly, grabbed Lei Dong's spear with a sudden movement, and then stepped forward, pressing the black lightning spear against Lei Dong's throat.
"You've yielded to me."
Sheathing his spear, Xiao Yuan smiled and said calmly.
The battle ended at an astonishing speed; Lei Dong was defeated in just a few rounds! The crowd fell silent for a moment, and then the many Thunder Guard warriors fell silent as well.
I don't understand this at all!
Lei Dong couldn't figure out exactly how strong Xiao Yuan had become. He glanced at Xiao Yuan's spear, which was covered in golden dragon patterns, and felt that the golden dragon patterns on the spear gave him a feeling that was even more dangerous than the Black Demon Lightning.
Could it be the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning? Impossible, right?
As Lei Dong's expression shifted, a thunderous laugh suddenly erupted from nowhere:
"Haha, what a fine young man from the Xiao Clan! These brats are indeed far inferior to you. However, I'm getting a little itchy to fight. I wonder if you have the guts to take a blow from me?"
"Clan leader?"
Upon hearing this loud laughter, Mang Tianchi's expression changed instantly. He hadn't expected that this battle-loving and fiercely protective old man would actually step forward. It seemed that Xiao Yuan's single-handed defeat of the younger generation of the Thunder Clan had made him somewhat uneasy. Xiao Yuan had already taken in every move of the Thunder Clan chief, so he naturally didn't care about this. He looked up at a certain space in the sky.
"Don't worry, young man of the Xiao Clan, I'll only use twenty percent of my strength, how about that?!"
After Xiao Yuan looked up, Lei Ying's loud laughter rang out again.
"Twenty percent is too little!"
Xiao Yuan cupped his hands in greeting.
"Haha, good, that's bold! You do have a bit of the spirit of Xiao Xuan back in the day!"
Above the training ground, the space suddenly rippled, and then a figure as tall as an iron tower appeared.
"My God, is he crazy?"
Everyone in the Thunder Clan felt that Xiao Yuan must be out of his mind.
Lei Ying is a peak Eight Star Dou Sheng expert. Just thinking about such a level makes one feel powerless, let alone fighting against him.
The vast majority of people in the arena were extremely surprised that Xiao Yuan dared to accept Lei Ying. They then looked at each other, their eyes fixed on the figure standing tall in the arena, dressed in flowing white robes. Putting everything else aside, his sheer courage was enough to make people admire him.
Lei Dong gave Xiao Yuan a complicated look, then silently stepped back. His full-force attack still didn't make Xiao Yuan retreat even half a step, while he himself was easily defeated by the opponent's attack. The cruel reality told him about the gap between the two of them.
Behind Lei Dong, the Thunder Guard followed dejectedly. The ten of them had joined forces, but Xiao Yuan had only struck casually, never even giving them a proper look. That silent treatment, while infuriating, left them feeling utterly powerless. They had no doubt that if Xiao Yuan truly wanted to, a simple wave of his hand would have crippled them all. However, he hadn't done so, as if in his eyes they were nothing more than dabbling at a giant tree. "However, while this kid is strong, he's also somewhat arrogant. The clan leader is Eight Star Dou Sheng; even with just a fraction of his strength, he could easily defeat an ordinary Six Star Dou Sheng."
As they retreated, one of the Thunder Guard hesitated for a moment before whispering.
"Shut up!"
Lei Dong gave a cold shout, glared at him fiercely, and rebuked him:
"Isn't he already humiliated enough? He's not only losing face, but also losing his dignity! Even if Xiao Yuan really can't withstand the clan leader's palm strike, it won't damage his reputation in the slightest. On the contrary, many people will admire his courage and boldness!"
Upon seeing Lei Dong's anger, the man shrank back and quickly shut his mouth, for the former held considerable prestige in their hearts.
"Senior, you might as well lend a little more effort; I have my own ways of dealing with it."
Xiao Yuan cupped his hands in greeting to Lei Ying, and then three golden suns appeared behind his head. At the same time, purple-gold dragon patterns condensed and transformed into a giant dragon, which coiled around his body, and his aura surged to almost the level of Five Star Dou Sheng.
Aside from keeping his soul power hidden, Xiao Yuan was unleashing his full power!
