Honored as a Cavalier, a Thunder-Drum Contest, a Stunning Debut, and the Clans Crushed!

Gold-Seeking Guard's monthly salary was "ten taels" of silver, including breakfast and dinner. Li Xian's horse was named "Binds the Wind," with a brown body, blue hooves, long mane, and bright eyes, possessing the bloodline of a strange beast. It had spiky hooves, making it easy for it to climb mountains, cross ridges, and scale buildings.

This Binds the Wind was hot-tempered and domineering, difficult to subdue, and unwilling to submit to anyone. But upon seeing Li Xian, it became extremely obedient, making a "hissing" sound and stamping its front hooves wildly, as if it wanted to rush towards Li Xian.

As Li Xian drew closer, she gently nuzzled him with her head, lowering it to show her willingness to submit.

Cui Niang was startled and told Li Xian that this Binds the Wind had sharp eyes and could choose its master at a glance. Perhaps it saw Li Xian's handsome appearance and immediately submitted. If Li Xian refused, the strange horse, being intelligent, would be heartbroken and die from refusing to eat or drink.

Li Xian laughed and said, "Good horse, good horse! Since you think so highly of me, you'd better show me your skills first!"

Before I adopted Binds the Wind, I took it to the street for a test ride.

But seeing that the Binds the Wind, was both light and fast when it ran, and quite intelligent, it would try its best to reduce the shaking for Li Xian when running over bumpy and steep terrain. As a result, Li Xian also liked this "extraordinary horse, Jufeng," and took it under his wing as his mount.

Gold-Seeking Guard could ride a horse on the street, and the horse could be stored at Marquis Wu Station or taken home.

However, Gold-Seeking Guard must prepare the daily hay, food, and even medicinal baths for these Horse Beast. These Horse Beast are of noble lineage and have been fed the finest hay and medicinal baths since birth to strengthen their muscles and bones.

If the expenses of the Horse Beast cannot be afforded, as a last resort, they are fed inferior hay and the medicinal baths are omitted. The Horse Beast quickly become thin and weak, and their coats become dull. When it comes time for inspection, they are unlikely to pass.

At best, they'll be ordered to rectify the situation; at worst, their Horse Beast will be confiscated. If deemed unfit for the Gold-Seeking Guard, they'll be asked to leave. Li Xian carefully calculated that "Binds the Wind" would cost four taels of silver per month.

If they are fostered in Marquis Wu Station, an additional tael of silver will be required as payment for miscellaneous tasks and servants. Gold-Seeking Guard are young masters from the Aristocratic Clan, there are also quite a few descendants of ordinary clans and common people who have passed through layers of rigorous screening and testing to reach this position, and they ultimately make up the majority.

Young masters from wealthy Aristocratic Clan often brought their beloved horses back to their mansions, taking meticulous care of them. They fed them the finest hay, groomed their coats daily, commissioned expensive saddles, and regularly bathed them with medicinal herbs. When these magnificent Horse Beast rode down the street, a glance from onlookers revealed their wealth and status. Those from more ordinary families, to save trouble, would leave their Marquis Wu Station. If they didn't mind the extravagance, they could also care for them themselves. Although they couldn't afford extravagant luxuries, the monthly salary of ten taels of silver, plus some financial assistance from their families, was enough to cover their monthly expenses without losing face.

A horse of unusual blood can cost as much as an ordinary family's monthly expenses.

Li Xian rode back to "Jujube-Pasture Residence," gently stroking the strange colt Feng, and sighed, "Binds the Wind, Binds the Wind, you'll be unable to live in a large mansion for now if you come with me. I wonder if you'll regret coming here."

Binds the Wind was inherently unruly, but he became obedient to Li Xian, responding with two "chichi" sounds to express his delight. Li Xian said, "That's good then. If there's a chance in the future, let's Riding the Wind together again!"

There was an empty wooden house in Jujube-Pasture Residence, which was originally a stable. Li Xian exhaled a breath of fresh air and cleaned it up, making it comfortable for the Binds the Wind.

Jade City is strictly hierarchical. Ordinary Jade Citizen can ride donkeys or horses, but not "Bloodline Horse." Li Xian, taking advantage of his profession, obtained an "Bloodline Horse" as his mount. Whenever he goes out on the street, he inevitably attracts the envious attention of the people.

Pet ownership is rampant in Jade City. To the east of Gold Ingot Ward, there is a "Beast Ward" that specializes in selling "fish pets," "snake pets," "turtle pets," and "bird pets," among others. High-ranking officials, Aristocratic Clan, and couples frequently patronize it. There are also shops selling top-quality "fish food," "snake food," "bird food," and "grain." Now that Li Xian has acquired a mount, he must treat it well. Riding Binds the Wind, he went to the Beast Ward and let it choose the right grass for itself. Binds the Wind likes "Red-Stalk Grass," which is quite tough and resembles red stalks. It is considered a top-grade grass, and eating it regularly can strengthen one's legs.

Li Xian paid three taels of silver. One tael of silver could buy one hundred catties of "Red-Stalk Grass". Three hundred catties of Red-Stalk Grass was enough to Binds the Wind for a month. He then reported his location.

The servant from the grain shop bowed and saw them off, assuring them that the grain would be delivered to the residence immediately. He added, "Sir, would you like to obtain a permit? In the future, when you need to purchase grain, you won't need to come in person. Just send a message, and we'll deliver it to your residence."

Li Xian gently Binds the Wind, thinking that food is the most important thing for people, and the same is true for horses. This Red-Stalk Grass is Binds the Wind's food, and no matter how frugal one is, it is difficult to avoid. This expense is hard to give up. So he agreed to buy a token, which would cost another three taels of silver.

This grain and fodder shop is called "Immortal Horse Feed Shop." The token hanging high on the counter contains a hidden mechanism. At the end of each month, it flashes red. Upon learning this, the grain and fodder shop assistant will prepare hay and deliver it to the mansion by carriage. Li Xian only needs to spend money regularly to keep the token hanging on the counter. When the monthly due date arrives, the grain and fodder shop assistant will come on time, and there is no need for him to go to the horse shop to buy hay himself.

Li Xian couldn't help but sigh, "Jade City Jade City lives up to its name. I never imagined that purchasing straw would be so convenient. I haven't yet had the chance to fully appreciate Heavenly Crafted Wonders and rare treasures of Jade City. Now that things are stable and I've gained some status, I'll take my time to explore them when I have more free time."

In high spirits, I gently stroked the horse's mane, gave it a spur, and galloped back to Jujube-Pasture Residence.

Now, at noon that day, after the holiday, Li Xian, with a sword on his left and an order hanging on his right, went on duty as a "formal Cavalier".

Upon entering Marquis Wu Station, they heard a series of thunderous booms. They saw that the training ground was already occupied by dozens of people, all dressed in Tiger-Python Uniform and wearing black armor, who were setting up some kind of formation.

It was midday, the time for "classwork." Lang General Lei Chong stood high on the command platform, holding a pale yellow flag. He waved it to the left, then to the right. Below him were dozens of Gold-Seeking Guard. Observing his flag commands, their formations changed several times, revealing profound strategies.

Even the weakest member of the Gold-Seeking Guard possessed First Realm of skill, and the "Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance" technique was second nature to him. Every change in formation was accompanied by Thunder Sound vibration, like dense raindrops, causing the stones on the training ground to tremble.

Lei Chong noticed Li Xian, planted his flag, and shouted, "Li Xian, you are now Gold-Seeking Guard. You should participate in this formation training. Follow Li Jian and join the practice!"

Today's drill, the "Thunder-Drum Godslaying Formation," is an extremely profound formation built upon the "Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance." The formation can be arranged with three, nine, or twenty-one people.

Three people form a small formation, nine people a medium formation, and twenty-one people a large formation. This formation maximizes the characteristics of the Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance, achieving infinite profound effects. Li Xian participated in it and was deeply impressed, thinking to himself, "Although I have been trapped in formations several times, this is the first time I have formed a formation with others. I didn't realize that formations contain so many mysteries. If we regard formations as martial arts, then we who form the formation are like meridians and acupoints! As long as we cooperate properly, the power we unleash will far exceed our imagination!"

Li Xian, Li Jian, and Shen Langyang, a Gold-Seeking Guard), formed a small formation. Li Jian was the leader, Li Xian led the left flank, and Shen Langyang led the right flank. This small formation of the three was extremely profound.

The three men stood in a triangular formation, each wielding a horizontal sword. The "Thunder-Drum Godslaying Formation" aimed to launch a direct, fair, and Withered-Wood Shattering attack.

The leader of the formation, wielding a sword, charged forward first. As he drew his sword, a thunderous booming sound echoed from his Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance, amplifying the power of the strike. The thunderous force seemed to cling to the blade. After the strike, he shifted his stance, and the soldiers on his left followed closely behind, sweeping their swords horizontally.

At this moment, the lingering Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance " from the front of the formation still reverberated in the air, lingering for a long time. As the troops on the left followed up with this strike, they absorbed the lingering echo of the Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance" from the front of the formation. It was as if two drums were placed close together, and when one drum resounded, the other drum was affected by the sound, and its surface would also vibrate slightly.

But the principles behind this battle formation are deeper. The Thunder Sound contains profound knowledge and the evolution of martial arts, unlike the sound of a drum which dissipates after it passes.

The drumbeat of the first person was received by the second person's chest. Then came another chest Thunder Sound, making the sound even louder. It was as if two Thunder Sound were superimposed and burst forth at this moment.

The louder the Thunder Sound, the more powerful the sword strikes became.

Slightly similar to the "Heavenly Thunder Finger," this second strike was naturally even more ferocious.

As the second strike was unleashed, the troops on the left immediately retreated. The troops on the right followed closely, taking advantage of the Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance of the first two, and in that instant, unleashed a Startling Thunder strike.

After the three strikes, the formation remained in a triangular pattern. The formation was intact and could be resumed.

And so it went, the fourth, fifth, sixth strikes... the rhythm of Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance echoed back and forth among the three. It fueled the flames, built up momentum. The drumming grew louder and louder, the strikes more and more terrifying, like Propel the Raging Waves, making it ever more powerful. Then, the thunderous roar seemed to darken the sky, a faint, natural Thunder Sound echoing through the air.

If the opponent cannot win immediately, each strike becomes more difficult. As the momentum of the strikes builds up to a certain degree, the thunderous drumbeat changes from "dull" to sharp. The strikes sound like the cries of birds and beasts, and there is also the sharp sound of the blade tearing through the air.

As the formation evolved, the blade gradually emitted lightning and arcs of electricity. Its power was terrifying. But at this point, the leaders and followers of the formation frequently drew their blades, causing their chests to throb with pain and numbness.

If not for physical limitations, and if the sword energy continued to accumulate, the three of them could form a group, arrange themselves into this formation, and stack up hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of sword strikes. It wouldn't be impossible for a single strike to unleash a thunderbolt, shattering buildings and splitting mountains.

With nine people in a central formation, the principles of martial arts become even more profound, and the variations are far greater. The nine people cooperate with each other, and there are countless ways to change their tactics when facing an enemy.

Not only can it "Stacked Thunder Blade," but it can also Gathering Thunder Might! Nine is the ultimate number, and the profound mystery of the Thunder-Drum Godslaying Formation lies entirely in the martial arts characteristic "Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance." The nine people form a group, mutually receiving the thunderous rhythm and power, thus forming a cycle.

As the formation evolved, the Thunder Sound aura lingered for a long time. At this time, the leader of the formation could gather the "thunderous might" of everyone into one person, as if concentrating power into a single point. The leader of the formation became stronger, and every move he made carried the power of everyone, unleashing power beyond the ordinary.

This is "Gathering Thunder Might".

However, the members of the formation must follow the formation rules and constantly vibrate their Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance to maintain the "Gathering Thunder Might" state.

Legend has it that Lang General Lei Chong came from a poor background. After going through many rigorous screenings, he successfully joined the Gold-Seeking Guard. When he was still at the First Martial Realm, he served as the leader of a nine-person formation. Facing a powerful enemy...

Lei Chong, Gathering Thunder Might might, defeated and killed three outstanding Second Realm martial artists while only First Realm warrior. This greatly enhanced Jade City's reputation and earned him recognition, which led to his later title of "Lang General Lei Chong".

As for the Twenty-One Formations, the number of participants is already large, and the martial arts principles are even more profound. They can Stacked Thunder Blade, gather thunderous power, and even Godslaying Blade. If such a formation is formed, ordinary martial arts masters will have no choice but to admit defeat and beg for mercy.

Li Xian carefully pondered the situation and suddenly thought, "A formation is actually a martial art. Could I break down the formation and deduce the martial art from it? I'll try entering the formation myself. If I fail, there won't be any loss."

While practicing the formation, they pondered and reflected deeply. After practicing like this for half an hour, Li Jian and Shen Langyang experienced severe chest pain and could no longer practice. Although Li Xian was completely unharmed, he was unable to continue practicing due to the loss of his fellow practitioners.

[Thunder Godslaying Formation Principles]

[Proficiency: 2/100]

Li Jian said, "How strange, how strange, Brother Li, don't you feel any pain in your chest?"

The lessons were over by then. The three who had just formed their ranks found a place to rest and chat.

Li Xian untied his water bag, took a sip, and thought, "Just now, when we were setting up the formation, the shockwaves every few breaths were frequent, but my body could handle it perfectly, and I didn't feel anything unusual. If that were all, I might not have experienced chest pain even if I had persisted longer." He humbly smiled and said, "Just a little." Shen Langyang said, "Brother Li's physique is truly enviable; it's probably almost on par with Lei Chong, Lang General Lei Lang!"

Li Jian nodded and said, "You're new here, yet you've persevered for so long. It seems that although you've taken a different path to become Gold-Seeking Guard), you do possess genuine skills." Li Xian glanced into the distance and said, "I just heard that Lang General Lei has an extraordinary physique. As a newcomer, I'm quite curious. Would you two be willing to answer my questions?" Li Jian looked towards the high point where Lei Chong stood tall and imposing, and said, "We are of ordinary background, and we should take Lang General as our role model." Shen Langyang said, "Lang General has a naturally special physique, with exceptional chest endurance. Legend has it that his Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance, both loud and deep. Moreover, he can produce seven sounds in an instant, and ninety-seven sounds in one breath."

Li Jian said, "I've tried my limit. I could only manage fifty-one strikes in one breath before my chest started to ache. If I gritted my teeth and struck ten more, I couldn't go on. If I forced myself to make the Resounding Thunder, it would damage my lungs and internal organs, and I would even vomit blood."

Li Xian asked, "What's the significance of this continuous and frequent suppression of the Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance? What is its purpose?"

Shen Langyang said, "There's a lot to it. Take the Thunder-Drum Godslaying Formation for example. The three-person formation doesn't seem like much; with a little practice, one can become the leader. But the nine-person middle formation is a completely different story."

"The ' Gathering Thunder Might ' of the nine-person formation requires the leader to have an extremely strong chest cavity. At that time, the Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance of the other members will resonate and act on the chest cavity of the leader. The stronger the power of the Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance, the more likely one is to become the leader and control the nine-person formation."

Li Jian said, "The Thunder-Drum Godslaying Formation is quite important; it's a large-scale formation for frontal attacks. The leaders of the smaller formations generally take turns, with me in charge today and you in charge tomorrow. This helps us familiarize ourselves with the principles of formations. However, the leader of the central formation remains constant."

"Although the commander of the central formation is just an ordinary Cavalier like us, he already possesses real command authority and holds a higher position. He will be more confident in competing for the position of Mud Body in the future."

Li Xian asked, "What about the leader of the great formation?" Shen Langyang replied, "Don't underestimate the leader of the great formation. He only commands twenty-one people. In reality, he is already quite capable, only one step away from becoming Gold Steward. Among them, the best have already reached the position of Mud Body."

Li Jian said, "Although I admire them, I am not jealous. Although there are many Aristocratic Clan families in our Gold-Seeking Guard, in the end, it is martial arts, strength, and ability that determine the outcome between factions."

"I have served Gold-Seeking Guard for seven years. Although I look young, I am actually over thirty years old. Once, during a surprise attack, the commander of the central formation was seriously injured, and he temporarily appointed me as the commander of the central formation."

"At that time, I thought my chance to rise to prominence had arrived, and I was determined to seize it. I arranged for my men to fight the enemy. Finally, I used the ' Gathering Thunder Might Might' move. At that moment, Thunder Sound thunderous sounds of the surrounding forces all rushed towards me. I felt a burning heat all over my body, and my chest swelled up and down. In a single breath, seven Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance!" Although I did feel a surge of power throughout my body, something I had never experienced before, I only lasted five breaths before vomiting blood and collapsing. It was truly unbearable. If I had lasted twenty-four breaths, I would undoubtedly have become another Thunder Lang General. But the difference was too great, and only then did I realize just how powerful a Thunder Lang General truly was!"

Li Jian couldn't help but feel a pang of regret as he spoke.

Shen Langyang suddenly became interested and said, "Speaking of which, I'm quite intrigued. Brother Li, you're new here, why not test your limits?" Li Xian asked curiously, "Limits?"

Shen Langyang said, "Our Gold-Seeking Guard has an unwritten rule called ' Thunder-Drum Contest,' which is a contest of who can best use their Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance. You only need to shout once to inform everyone, then hold your breath and unleash the thunderous Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance. Do it as fast and as many times as possible. Others will count for you." "This is also a way to establish authority in the army. Back then, when Lang General Lei Chong joined the Gold-Seeking Guard, he immediately began the Thunder-Drum Contest, striking seven times in one instant, ninety-seven times in total. It was quite astonishing. After that, he never showed his full strength again, so we don't know how far his Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance can go. But this matter is risky. If we can't achieve a above-average result, we will definitely be ridiculed and despised."

Li Xian became interested. Suddenly, Li Jian said, "Someone has already started drumming and fighting. Brother Li, would you like to go and watch?" A Gold-Seeking Guard Song Jia to the crowd and said, "Gentlemen, listen to my thunderous drumming. I'll make a fool of myself!"

With her feet spread apart and her body pressed to the ground, this was the Water Dragon Breath of the "Water Dragon Martial Hall," a breathing martial art. Song Jia was from the martial arts school and was considered quite good in Jade City. She was nearly thirty years old and her cultivation was close to the Second Realm, already showing the characteristics of "Double Wafting Immortal Tone."

This level of strength is already quite remarkable. Therefore, taking advantage of Lei Chong's presence today, we will begin the Thunder-Drum Contest. The Thunder-Drum Contest emphasizes the resounding "thunderous Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance" in one breath. Therefore, the martial art of "breathing" is of paramount importance.

Song Jia let out a long exhale, her face turning from blue to red. This was the mystery of the Water Dragon Breath. Immediately, her whole body trembled, and a Thunder Sound sound resounded from her chest. With a loud "boom," it was not much different from thunder.

The crowd of Gold-Seeking Guard gathered around and cheered. Lei Chong also walked over.

Although the Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance is not as profound as the "Double Wafting Immortal Tone," it is still quite significant. It is closely related to the mysterious Heaven-Earth Profound Thunder, and many formations and martial arts are associated with it. Its "thunderous sound," "thunderous power," and "thunderous rhythm" all vary from person to person.

Song Jia's Thunder Sound was similar to "heavenly thunder," but slightly muffled. Each resounding boom had a slightly prolonged aftersound, making it sound sluggish and not very crisp. Perhaps this was related to the "Water Dragon Breath" preceding the Resounding Thunder.

He trembled four times in an instant, a total of sixty-nine times in one breath. Lei Chong nodded slightly, offering no comment.

Song Jia had just finished speaking Gold-Seeking Guard laughed and said, "It's not easy to run into a Lei Dou (a martial arts contest), I'll join in the fun!"

Su Kaihu of the Jade City Su Clan leaped into the arena. He took a deep breath, his chest bulging as if it were about to burst.

But Su Kaihu continued to inhale deeply, his chest swelling even more. Li Jian said, "The Jade City Su Clan is renowned for its martial arts. This is the breathing technique of the martial art ' Jade Pass Roar.' If he uses it here, the thunderous roar will be astonishing!"

Li Xian thought to himself, "Back then, when the Golden Boy Taishu Chunfeng and the Jade Maiden Zhao Ranran were traveling with two members of the Su clan, the Su clan members roared loudly after I startled the Pure Jade Divine Bird. It's similar to what happened now." He observed carefully.

Su Kaihu shuddered, his feet sinking deep into the ground. His chest resounded, the first sound like the roar of a mountain god, unlike the sound of thunder, yet even more awe-inspiring.

Su Kaihu's Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance, was even more savage. The initial momentum was strong, but the follow-up showed signs of fatigue. In a flash, four vibrations resounded, a total of seventy-two in one breath. It overshadowed Song Jia by several levels. Lei Chong clapped and exclaimed, "Excellent! Excellent! Truly worthy of being a member of the Su Clan, you are indeed formidable!"

Gold-Seeking Guard is full of warlike men who love to compete with each other. Once the Thunder-Drum Contest begins, people will inevitably step forward to challenge each other until one person's skill amazes everyone, leaving others uncertain of victory, only then will it stop. Hence the name "Thunder-Drum Contest," which emphasizes the "competition." Song Jia started strong, believing herself to be quite capable, not to say she could overpower everyone, but certainly with her own highlights. However, she couldn't withstand even one round and was overshadowed by others.

It wasn't that he lacked skill, but Gold-Seeking Guard region was full of talented individuals. Feeling utterly ashamed, Song Jia silently Perfected Person. Soon, a third person displayed his abilities. This person was named Zhou Ding.

He came from a poor background, yet possessed the Transformed Aspect [the Four-Lung Aspect]. His chest cavity was naturally larger than that of ordinary people, capable of holding four lungs. Although he did not know any breathing techniques, he could still inhale powerfully by relying on the power of his extraordinary lungs.

Suddenly, his chest throbbed, and the wind rushed into his body. Zhou Ding Resounding Thunder with all his might. It was a deep, resounding "thump, thump, thump." Although not as bright as Su Kaihu's, it was more profound and steady.

Five sounds in one instant, seventy-five sounds in one breath!

Lei Chong frowned, a hint of displeasure in his expression, but remained silent. Zhou Ding his performance was satisfactory, bowed to the crowd and stepped aside. Members of the Su Clan, Bai Clan, Yao Clan, Xu Clan, and other clans exchanged glances, seemingly unintentionally. It turned out that the scions of these clans were traditionally arrogant, taking pride in their clan affiliation. During the Thunder-Drum Contest, it was always the non-clan members who dared to show off...

In the end, a member of one of the clans will inevitably emerge victorious, thus maintaining his superiority over others. At this moment, Zhou Zheng's performance is outstanding, and the other clan members are already planning how to surpass him. This subtle sense of superiority is already taken for granted.

A member of the Bai Clan clan, Bai Bolong, strode into the arena, cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd, and said, "I'll make a fool of myself!"

With a sudden jolt of his arms, he inhaled deeply, the sound of Thunder Sound echoing through his chest. This Bai Bolong was a descendant of the Bai Clan, possessing a profound foundation in martial arts. In an instant, he unleashed six jolts, a total of eighty-two resounding booms in one breath!

Completely crushed Zhou Zheng.

Lei Chong immediately clapped and cheered, saying loudly, "Impressive! Impressive! As expected of the Bai Clan's dragon and phoenix! Everyone should take this prodigy as an example, emulate him, learn from him, and strive for excellence."

The ordinary-born Gold-Seeking Guard) subtly sensed the subtle atmosphere. No matter how they tried to stand out, they were always suppressed. However, since their strength was indeed inferior, they dared not get angry and all nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, a figure flashed, and another figure appeared in the arena. It was Li Xian.

Everyone was shocked. Bai Bolong unleashed six tremors in an instant, producing eighty-two resounding booms. This level of strength was already exceptional, with very few able to surpass it. His reappearance at this moment undoubtedly demonstrated his confidence in surpassing Bai Bolong.

Otherwise, it would be a foolish act, making a laughing stock of oneself.

Li Xian cupped his hands and said, "I'll do it!" He then unleashed the Xun Wind Breath and thumped his chest. A thunderous roar immediately resounded, piercing the eardrums, terrifying the mind, and shaking the liver and gallbladder!

Twelve tremors in an instant.

Eighty shots had been fired in just a few breaths. Li Xian had plenty of energy left, and his voice was steady and powerful; he could fire again.

The eighty-first shot, the eighty-second shot, the eighty-third shot... easily surpassed Bai Bolong, and the momentum showed no signs of stopping.

The Gold-Seeking Guard in their minds: the 89th, the 91st—they were already close to Lei Chong's score. The next instant, the 94th, the 95th...

The overwhelming power forced everyone to retreat step by step amidst the dense Thunder Sound, utterly astonished. The faces of the members of each clan were grim, all feeling that their clan's glory had been tarnished by this forceful and undeniable suppression.

Li Xian's breath was long and deep, and it was not just ninety-five times. In the next instant, it was one hundred and ten, one hundred and twenty... and there was still no sign of stopping. Moreover, the thunder rolled and lingered for a long time, as if it were bringing a heavy rain, and dark clouds covered the sky.
