Yu Xiaogang felt the terrifying power brought by this thunder and instantly felt his legs go weak, collapsing straight onto the ground.
A faint dampness spread from his crotch; his little brother had taken the brunt of the electric shocks and had long since lost all sensation.
Zhou Tong did not stop, releasing a continuous stream of pale golden arcs that struck Yu Xiaogang's lower body.
"Ah!"
"Don't come over here!"
"I won't let you get away with this."
The tearing pain made Yu Xiaogang wail, his body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.
Zhou Tong was not distracted by his wailing, instead continuing to output violent arcs of electricity, directing them toward Yu Xiaogang's third leg.
Zzzzt—
The arcs made a faint sound upon contact.
"What did you do?"
"I can't feel anything anymore."
Yu Xiaogang's pupils constricted as he felt that he had completely lost all sensation.
Bang!
A soft explosion rang out, causing Yu Xiaogang to feel a surge of intense pain.
Only then did Zhou Tong nod in satisfaction.
"Yu Xiaogang, you brought this upon yourself; today, I'll make sure you learn this lesson."
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was both terrified and furious, his face twisted with resentment, yet he remained stubborn.
"Zhou Tong, how dare you humiliate me."
"Don't think you can be arrogant now; in this world, you need influence and a background."
"I am an elder of Spirit Hall and a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I will make it impossible for you to take a single step in the spirit master world!"
Hearing this, Zhou Tong calmed down slightly; he decided to spare Yu Xiaogang's life.
Not to mention the retaliation from the love-struck Bibi Dong, even the vengeance of Tang Hao would be a fatal danger.
The current Yu Xiaogang still had value; he could lead Tang San to his ruin and turn his Blue Silver Grass into trash.
Leaving a pig-like teacher for the future God King Tang was ten thousand times better than facing a powerful opponent.
Looking at Yu Xiaogang's arrogant expression, Zhou Tong took a deep breath and silently retracted his martial soul.
"Xiaogang, you've already been kicked out of Spirit Hall, so why are you still acting like an elder?"
"And I heard you were kicked out of your family too; how shameful."
"A person like you still dares to commit crimes under their banner—aren't you afraid we'll report you?"
"I'll give you a lesson this time; if you dare to act up again, next time it won't just be one leg that gets broken."
Zhou Tong said coldly, turning around and walking out of the office with a flourish, leaving Yu Xiaogang in a state of disarray.
"What? A broken leg?"
"My legs aren't broken?"
Yu Xiaogang muttered blankly, unable to believe his ears.
He carefully sensed his lower body, but it was completely numb and wouldn't obey his commands.
His legs were clearly still there.
Why did Zhou Tong say he had broken a leg?
But when he reached down to touch his lower body, he discovered that the tool he used to pleasure Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong was gone.
"I've become a eunuch?"
"Zhou Tong, I hate you!"
"Sooner or later, you'll be electrocuted to death by your own spirit soul."
Yu Xiaogang's curses echoed throughout the entire office building.
Spirit Hall Branch.
"Zhou Tong, you've finally arrived."
"It doesn't matter that Yu Xiaogang ostracized you; our Spirit Hall always welcomes commoner spirit masters."
Grandpa Mathew looked at Zhou Tong with a kind expression.
A genius spirit master like Zhou Tong, as long as he grew up, would surely be able to join Spirit Hall, perhaps even be noticed by an elder and become a widely acclaimed talent.
"Master, thank you very much."
"I was just worrying about where to go; it's fortunate that you're willing to take me in."
"The Nuoding City branch has many books on spirit beasts and excellent cultivation conditions, so you can rest assured staying here."
"In one month, Pope Bibi Dong will lead the Spirit Hall Elder Council to inspect the various branch halls. At that time, I will recommend you to her, so you must perform well."
"If she takes a liking to you, or even makes you her disciple, you will soar to the heavens, and Yu Xiaogang will never dare to discriminate against your commoner spirit master status again."
Grandpa Mathew said with a solemn expression.
"Understood!"
Zhou Tong kept this information in his heart.
Spirit Hall was the highest sanctuary in the hearts of spirit masters; entering it was undoubtedly a great opportunity.
Unlike the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, which were strictly hierarchical and slave-based societies, Spirit Hall was very enlightened toward commoner spirit masters, and many Title Douluo had risen from such backgrounds.
However, Bibi Dong was a sycophant of Yu Xiaogang.
Zhou Tong worried that Bibi Dong might retaliate against him because of that.
It seemed he could not go to Spirit Hall.
When Bibi Dong arrived with the massive Elder Council, Tang Hao would certainly have to leave to avoid the limelight.
This was the perfect opportunity for Zhou Tong to retrieve the Blue Silver Emperor spirit bone.
"Grandpa Mathew, do you know how to solve the problem of a lightning-attribute spirit leaking electricity?"
Zhou Tong asked proactively.
He was only at the tenth level of spirit power, yet he was already experiencing leakage. If his spirit continued to improve, wouldn't he eventually electrocute himself to death?
The fate of the Thunderous Hell Vine clan would likely repeat itself with him.
But his physique was not as strong as the Thunderous Hell Vine's; he feared he wouldn't survive until the day he became a god.
Therefore, he had to start looking for a solution now.
Spirit Hall was the place with the most extensive knowledge on spirits in the Douluo Continent; it was the most likely place to find a solution.
"A lightning-attribute spirit leaking electricity? I am not familiar with that."
"However, I know that Spirit Hall has collected many cultivation cases of lightning-attribute spirits. You can go to the library to look it up; perhaps there is a solution there."
After receiving the hint, Zhou Tong went to the library and began searching for relevant books.
After a month of examination, he finally found a solution in a book titled Compendium of Lightning-Attribute Spirit Cases.
"Lightning-Struck Wood spirit, Lin Dong, cultivated to the Spirit King realm, died from body explosion."
"Lightning Snake spirit, Zheng Dong, cultivated to the Spirit Emperor realm, died from body explosion."
"Lightning Wolf spirit, Liu Jia, cultivated to the Spirit Emperor realm, possessed an extremely powerful body and speed, was once famous for a time, died of natural causes."
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, no signs of lightning backlash observed. They possess mature body-tempering methods to increase lightning resistance. The clan's cultivation focuses primarily on bloodline; the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline comes with innate lightning resistance, hence their stronger tolerance."
Zhou Tong studied this book carefully and finally discovered the pattern.
There were two main paths to resisting lightning erosion: first, strengthening the physical body—if the body is strong enough, it does not fear lightning erosion; second, upgrading the bloodline—if one could obtain a bloodline like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, one would have natural resistance to lightning.
"I cannot strengthen my bloodline at the moment."
"It seems that what I can do now is to strengthen my physical body."
"It looks like it's time to go find Tang San's mother."
"The hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor spirit bone, along with the Blue Silver Emperor inheritance, will definitely increase my physical strength by a large margin."
"Moreover, Tang San will eventually become my enemy. Taking his opportunity will weaken this future foe—killing two birds with one stone."
"As soon as Tang Hao leaves Nuoding City, I will go and take the Blue Silver Emperor."
After pondering, Zhou Tong decided to wait for the opportunity to take the Blue Silver Emperor.
He had plenty of time and did not need to rush to retrieve the bone.
Notting Academy dormitory.
Yu Xiaogang sat at his desk with a gloomy face.
"Zhou Tong, you want to see the Pope and enter Spirit Hall?"
"Having offended me, don't even think about entering Spirit Hall for the rest of your life."
