Thunder Prison

Several days later.

The Soul Guidance Airship slowly descended.

Before them lay a vast gorge blanketed by thunderclouds.

Above, dark clouds churned as thick bolts of lightning crashed down without end.

Deafening thunder roared continuously.

The entire gorge was saturated with an incomparably dense lightning element.

Huo Wushuang could not help but sigh.

"The lightning element here is countless times denser than outside."

Lei Jie clenched his fists excitedly.

The moment he arrived, the lightning-element Martial Soul within his body had begun to stir.

Feng Xiaoyuan spoke slowly.

"This is Thunder Gorge."

"It is also the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's dedicated soul-hunting ground."

"Nearly all the soul beasts inside are lightning-attributed soul beasts."

"For Lei Jie, this is the best possible place to hunt soul beasts."

Everyone nodded, then headed together toward the gorge entrance.

As soon as they reached it, two guards dressed in Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan uniforms stopped them.

"Stop."

"This is the private territory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"Unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter."

Feng Xiaoyuan smiled faintly and cupped his fists.

"The Feng Clan."

"Feng Xiaoyuan."

"My father should have already spoken with Senior Yu Yuanzhen."

The two guards were first taken aback.

Then they quickly realized who he was, and their expressions changed at once.

"So you are from the Feng Clan."

"Please forgive us. We were only carrying out our duties."

"The clan head gave orders long ago."

"If anyone from the Feng Clan arrives, do not obstruct them."

"Everyone."

"Please enter."

With that, the two immediately stepped aside.

Everyone from the Elemental Team successfully entered Thunder Gorge.

Lightning flickered throughout the gorge, and tiny electric arcs filled the air.

Less than half an hour after venturing deeper, Huo Wushuang suddenly stopped.

"Up ahead."

"There's a soul beast."

Everyone followed his gaze and saw, not far away, a giant wolf wrapped in lightning standing ahead of them.

Feng Xiaoyuan merely glanced at it before shaking his head.

"One thousand years."

"It's too young."

"Let's keep looking."

The group ventured deeper once more and walked for quite some time.

A low beast roar suddenly came from ahead.

A bolt of lightning struck down fiercely.

Immediately afterward, a massive purple-black soul beast emerged.

His entire body was covered in purple lightning patterns.

Feng Xiaoyuan's eyes lit up when he saw it.

"Him."

"Purpleburst Thunder Bear."

"Three thousand five hundred years."

"The lightning element within this soul beast is exceptionally pure. It's perfect for Lei Jie."

Upon hearing this, joy immediately appeared in Lei Jie's eyes.

Just then, Dugu Yan stepped forward with a smile.

"Captain."

"Let me try out the power of my fourth soul skill."

Everyone's interest was immediately piqued.

Along the way, Dugu Yan had only briefly explained the effects of her fourth soul skill.

She could not demonstrate it aboard the Soul Guidance Airship.

Now, they could finally witness it firsthand.

Dugu Yan slowly stepped forward as the Jade Phosphorus Dragon Martial Soul instantly appeared.

Four soul rings slowly rose from beneath her feet.

Yellow.

Yellow.

Purple.

Black.

The fourth black soul ring immediately lit up.

"Fourth Soul Skill."

"Jade Phosphorus Poison Dragon Roar."

The next moment, a jade-green dragon phantom shot into the sky.

The phantom of the Jade Phosphorus Dragon Martial Soul slowly appeared behind Dugu Yan.

Immediately afterward, a deafening dragon roar rang out.

"Roar!"

Visible jade-green sound waves rapidly spread outward.

At the same time, thick poisonous mist instantly swept across the entire area.

The Purpleburst Thunder Bear did not even have time to react.

Its body suddenly trembled, and its eyes instantly lost focus.

Its massive body swayed a few times before collapsing directly onto the ground.

Everyone was stunned.

Huo Wushuang's eyes widened.

"That killed it in one hit?"

Feng Xiaoyuan shook his head.

"Probably not."

"Yanyan's soul skill carries a mental attack."

"This Purpleburst Thunder Bear should have only lost consciousness."

Dugu Yan smiled and nodded.

"That's right."

"My fourth soul skill summons the Jade Phosphorus Poison Dragon and unleashes its roar."

"The dragon's roar not only carries a mental attack, but can also spread poisonous mist."

"Soul beasts weaker than me will basically lose their ability to fight immediately."

Huo Wu could not help but marvel.

"That's way too powerful."

The instant the Purpleburst Thunder Bear fell, Lei Jie charged out without the slightest hesitation.

Intense lightning power gathered in Lei Jie's hand.

Then he fiercely pressed it down onto the Purpleburst Thunder Bear's head.

The next moment, the Purpleburst Thunder Bear's head instantly exploded.

A purple soul ring slowly rose from the corpse of the Violet Tempest Thunder Bear.

Lei Jie immediately sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the soul ring.

This absorption process went exceptionally smoothly, taking less than half an hour.

Lei Jie slowly opened his eyes.

Three soul rings slowly emerged beneath his feet.

Yellow.

Yellow.

Purple.

He had successfully broken through to Level 32, a three-ring Soul Elder.

Lei Jie slowly rose to his feet, and his third soul ring instantly lit up.

"Third soul skill."

"Thunder Prison."

Several bolts of purple lightning instantly struck the open ground ahead.

They then formed a massive lightning cage.

Countless lightning serpents continuously slithered through the cage.

The lightning elements in the air frantically converged upon it.

Within the cage, the lightning serpents grew increasingly numerous and thicker.

Enemies trapped inside would not only find it difficult to escape, but would also continuously suffer lightning damage.

As time passed, the damage would only grow stronger.

Seeing this, Feng Xiaoyuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad."

"Pure lightning elements."

"The soul skill obtained is truly powerful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xiaoyuan led the group toward the exit of Thunder Gorge.

When they reached the gorge entrance, the two Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan guards were still there.

Upon seeing the group approach, the two hurried over and clasped their fists.

"Young Master Feng."

"Everyone."

"Have you finished hunting the soul beast?"

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded.

"That's right."

"Thank you for your help this time."

Lei Jie also clasped his fists.

"Please convey my thanks to Senior Yu Yuanzhen."

One of the guards quickly said, "Rest assured, young masters."

"I will certainly pass along your words."

Afterward, the members of the Elemental Team left Thunder Gorge.

They then boarded the Soul Guidance Airship.

Aboard the Soul Guidance Airship.

Huo Wushuang suddenly seemed to recall something and turned to look at Feng Xiaoyuan.

He asked curiously, "Captain."

"Only Junior Sister Yue'er has yet to obtain a soul ring."

"Aren't you planning to consider your own soul ring?"

As soon as he said this, everyone else looked over as well.

They had the same question.

Feng Xiaoyuan had not hunted a soul beast in Star Dou Great Forest, nor had he done so in Thunder Gorge.

Feng Xiaoyuan smiled.

"No rush."

"I've already broken through to Rank 30 at just nine years old."

"I still need to consolidate my foundation. I'll absorb a soul ring after some time."

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed.

Feng Xiaoyuan had already broken through to Rank 30 at the age of nine.

He was the most gifted prodigy in the history of Douluo Continent.

He truly should stabilize his foundation, lest his Soul Power rise too quickly and leave it unstable.
