April 3.

On the third day of the Mortal Domain Third Spring Examination, work on the "giant lightning-inducing device" on the Black Tortoise Plains was still moving forward.

"Domain Lord."

Inside the cave, Chen Fan stood before his desk and listened to Wang Kui's report. "Promising candidates have begun to emerge in this year's Mortal Domain Spring Examination, and Chen Jiutian is making rapid progress on the Black Tortoise Plains."

"He's successfully identified Dark Lightning and normal lightning. By making the two collide, he's produced Pocket Silver Lightning. It can be generated in bulk, and it speeds up energy storage."

Chen Fan leaned back in his chair with a faint smile. He said nothing, merely murmuring Chen Jiutian's name.

That kid.

He really has given me one surprise after another.

Right now,

the greatest obstacle to charging the Mortal Domain's Sky-Piercing Pillars was the scarcity of Exotic Treasures capable of drawing down lightning. There weren't enough to charge large numbers of pillars, and the process was too slow. A single Level-10 Sky-Piercing Pillar took three years.

A Sky-Piercing Pillar charged for one year could only reach level 8.

Chen Jiutian's new discovery could greatly accelerate the Mortal Domain's efforts to charge them.

How could Chen Fan not be pleased?

He had been wondering how to deal with Chen Jiutian's military pledge if things went wrong. Now it seemed he wouldn't have to. The kid had grit. "Then why hasn't he come to report to me?"

As far as Chen Fan was concerned,

achieving this much already counted as success.

"Chen Jiutian doesn't seem satisfied with it."

Wang Kui hesitated before continuing. "He says that although they can guarantee a supply of Silver Lightning, producing it consumes too many Eerie Stones to be cost-effective. The charging speed still can't keep up
