Hammer Protector: "Third Sister~," Tang San's Miserable Fate
Tang San eagerly threw himself into the arms of the Hammer Protector: "Father, you've finally come to find me! You had your reasons before, didn't you? You didn't acknowledge me because Meng Chen had something on me, right?"
Tang San was almost moved to tears. He had said so much in one breath, but he didn't notice that Hammer Protector didn't react to him at all.
No, there is still some reaction.
Tang San suddenly sensed a dangerous aura.
He trembled as he released the Hammer Protector, slowly backing away, only to find the Hammer Protector's eyes filled with a red light!
"Father... what's wrong?"
Tang San was terrified when he saw the Hammer Protector, because his eyes reminded Tang San of Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar.
"Third... Sister..."
Hammer Protector looked at Tang San and spoke these words with boundless longing in his heart, as if the person in front of him was someone who had long since passed away.
Tang San's expression froze for a moment.
The initial surprise and anticipation seemed to be abruptly ripped away, leaving only fear!
"No!!!"
Tang San let out a mournful howl, the sound echoing through the night sky, like the final cry of an animal driven to the brink of despair.
"A-Chen, did you hear anything? It sounded like something called out from far away..."
On the carriage back to the Heaven Dou Academy from the Moonlight Pavilion, Xiao Wu suddenly asked Meng Chen a question.
Meng Chen listened intently for a moment, but could only hear the sound of the carriage; nothing else.
He shook his head. "No, it was probably the wind. You must have misheard. This is a residential area; what kind of noise could there be here?"
Xiao Wu said "Oh," and didn't ask any further questions, instead observing her A-Chen.
A-Chen has been acting strange lately... he's been reading a book.
It's not strange that Meng Chen is reading books, but Xiao Wu finds strange is that Meng Chen isn't reading any medicine books, but rather a geographical record introducing the topography, landforms, and customs of the Douluo Continent.
He was looking at it while frowning, as if he was thinking about something.
Meng Chen was handsome and dashing, even when he frowned, he looked good, exuding a mysterious aura that made people feel that he must have encountered some problem that they could not solve, and they couldn't help but want to solve it for him.
Actually, Meng Chen was thinking about his promise to Thunder Hell Vine. So much time had passed, it was time to fulfill it, wasn't it?
However, for the seeds of the Thunder Hell Vine to germinate, they need the stimulation of lightning, and even Yu Tianheng's lightning is not enough; it must be lightning as powerful as Heavenly Thunder.
As for Heavenly Thunder...
Recently, the Heaven Dou City has been sunny, but Meng Chen has not been able to find peace.
If the geographical records couldn't give Meng Chen an answer, he could only try to subtly probe Xiao Wu.
As expected, Xiao Wu saw Meng Chen's troubled expression and asked with concern, "A-Chen, what's wrong? Are you worried about something?"
Her voice was very warm and gentle, carrying a kind of innocent concern, which almost made Meng Chen feel guilty for scheming against her.
However, this isn't really a scheme; it's just about asking Xiao Wu where there are powerful and effective forbidden Thunder Pool or similar places.
Meng Chen then answered Xiao Wu, "Emmm... I've been thinking about whether there are any forbidden zones or dangerous places like Thunder Pool in the Douluo Continent. I have a seed of the Thunder Hell Vine and I'd like to try planting it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu frowned and began to think.
She had been in the Star Dou Great Forest for countless years. Although she had never left the Lake of Life in the core area and had always stayed by her mother's side, she had heard about other areas.
"I do know a place where the lightning element is abundant... Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, in the southeast direction, there is a Thunder Marsh. It is always shrouded in dark clouds, with lightning constantly falling from the sky, and the ground is often covered with arcs of electricity."
"I passed through there a long time ago, and the power of the lightning there was several times greater than anywhere else I had ever seen on the continent; it was all true Heavenly Thunder."
Meng Chen's eyes lit up upon hearing this; wasn't that exactly what he needed?
Seeing Meng Chen's eyes suddenly light up, Xiao Wu hurriedly reminded him, "However, that Thunder Marsh Swamp is occupied by a very powerful Soul Beast, at least 70,000 years old. Many Titled Douluo don't dare to provoke it."
Meng Chen's eyes immediately dimmed again.
Soul Beast of 70,000 years...
It was obviously unrealistic for him to force his way in with his current cultivation level, but that Thunder Marsh was the most suitable place for the Thunder Hell Vine seeds to germinate and grow, as far as he knew.
"A-Chen, you're not allowed to go there."
Xiao Wu pouted, looking just like an angry rabbit.
"But I really need to germinate the seed of that Thunder Hell Vine."
Meng Chen shrugged. "If it doesn't sprout, your A-Chen might explode one day."
"No, no, it's too dangerous there! I absolutely won't allow you to go."
Xiao Wu shook her head like a rattle-drum, refusing to let Meng Chen go no matter what.
this...
"Okay, okay, I promise I won't go."
Meng Chen gently stroked Xiao Wu 'Xiao Wu hair, verbally agreeing that he wouldn't go, but he already had a plan in mind.
Xiao Wu enjoyed Meng Chen's intimate actions, her eyes narrowed, like a cat.
Although enjoying Meng Chen's affectionate actions, Xiao Wu still warned, "From now on, I'll be watching you. I absolutely forbid you from going!"
Okay, I understand.
Meng Chen agreed and continued to stroke Xiao Wu's head.
She's strange; she only acts like a rabbit when she's angry.
Meng Chen looked at Xiao Wu, who was squinting, and wondered a strange thing.
Before long, Meng Chen and Xiao Wu returned to their dormitory building at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory building, Meng Chen excitedly went back to cultivate.
He took out a Immortal Herb.
This Immortal Herb is entirely blue, and its flowers are shaped like lightning bolts with golden edges, as if the lightning bolts were edged with gold.
The moment this Immortal Herb was taken out, it seemed to be activated and began to light up, flashing like lightning descending upon the world and transforming into this herb.
Meng Chen guessed that this herb was a native species of the Douluo Continent, and even Tang San might not recognize it.
It was only briefly mentioned in the numerous ancient texts of the Ye Family, where it was referred to as the Tribulation Lightning Golden-Edged Orchid.
The ancient texts say that this Immortal Herb herb, like the Thunder Hell Vine, absorbs Heavenly Thunder to grow. However, after it is born, this Immortal Herb feeds on the lightning-attribute Soul Power in the void and does not need to attract lightning to strike itself.
Therefore, the lightning-attribute medicinal power within its body is very mild, and it will not form the spectacular phenomenon of Thunder Pool.
Meng Chen put the Immortal Herb in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it. Its juice did not feel cold at all; on the contrary, it was warm, and there was also Sisi tingling and numbing sensation.
As the juice slid down Meng Chen's throat into his esophagus, it felt like heated liquor—warm yet numbing and burning.
Meng Chen dared not delay and immediately began to absorb the medicinal power.
As the medicine entered my body, I began to feel a stinging sensation throughout my meridians.
Driven by this stinging sensation, Meng Chen's Soul Power began to rise uncontrollably.
Level 56... Level 57... Level 58...
As time passed, these barriers that would normally require a long period of accumulation to overcome gradually melted away under the impact of the Immortal Herb, like ice being thawed by warm water.
Level 59... Level 60!
