Ultimate Thunder! Douluo Yang Yongxin!

"Where did this terrifying Power of Thunder come from?!"

The elders stared at the terrifying black clouds overhead, which looked ready to unleash Tribulation Lightning at any moment. Their expressions had never been so grave.

Chicken Leg Douluo, on the other hand, kept quietly gnawing on a chicken leg. As far as Xuan Zi was concerned, so long as Mu En was alive, the sky over Shrek would never fall.

"What do we do now?" Yan Shaozhe frowned. He had never encountered an omen this terrifying before.

The elders exchanged glances, unable to make up their minds.

If Tribulation Lightning on this scale really struck Sea God Island, Shrek Academy might take to the skies ten thousand years ahead of schedule.

As everyone searched for a solution, an aged voice suddenly sounded in their minds. "You can all leave. With the Golden Ancient Tree here, this Tribulation Lightning can't do anything to Shrek Academy."

Mu En?

"Yes."

With Mu En having spoken, the elders finally set their worries aside. Only Xuan Zi went on eating and drinking.

Several hours passed quickly, and Xiang Jun gradually woke from his stupor.

But the moment he opened his eyes, Poseidon's roguish, carefree face, utterly devoid of dignity, filled his vision.

"Oh? You're awake!"

Poseidon chuckled and circled Xiang Jun a few times, clicking his tongue in wonder. "Who would've thought you'd be so compatible with the Thunder God's Divine Seat? If I hadn't shown up in time, the divine powers of the Sea God and Thunder God might have torn you to pieces."

Xiang Jun blinked in confusion. "Senior, before I passed out, I thought I heard something about the Thunder God's Nine Trials. Did I hear wrong?"

Poseidon and Elder Jin instinctively glanced at each other, then answered in unison, "That's right. You heard wrong!"

Xiang Jun: ...

"Child, never mind the Thunder God's Nine Trials for now. Take a look at what surprise that fragment has brought your Sea God Martial Soul." Elder Jin stroked his beard, seizing the chance to change the subject.

Xiang Jun's expression grew serious, and anticipation rose within him.

As a fragment of divine power left behind when the Thunder God fell, even if it couldn't grant him control over the Law of Thunder, surely it could at least transform his lightning into Ultimate Thunder?

The Sea God Phantom appeared behind him, suffused with a sacred aura. Though it looked little different, Xiang Jun keenly sensed the Power of Thunder swirling around it.

That violent aura...

Ultimate Thunder?!

At the thought, Xiang Jun eagerly summoned the Seagod's Trident.

Just as he expected, the instant the Seagod's Trident appeared, the violent lightning that seemed capable of destroying everything grew wildly restless.

So the Seagod's Trident is the conduit?

"You guessed right. The Seagod's Trident is the vessel for this Power of Thunder. Among First-Level Gods, few can match the Thunder God in offensive might. Apart from Destruction and Asura, only the God of Destruction comes close."

"You can't withstand that power yet. But as your compatibility with the Thunder God grows, authority over the Power of Thunder will fall into your hands sooner or later," Poseidon explained, lounging off to one side.

Xiang Jun nodded. The only pity was that the Thunder God Fragment hadn't increased his Soul Power at all.

Then a bold idea suddenly struck him.

If the Sea God possessed the Origin of Thunder and could completely refine a fragment of the Thunder God's Divine Seat, what about the Ice God?

Ice might make up the smallest share of the Sea God's five attributes, but it was still the ice element!

The bloodline of the Primordial Ice God lay within the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North.

Looks like I'll have to find time to visit the Far North. Xiang Jun narrowed his eyes, growing more convinced that the plan could work.

Just then, Elder Jin chuckled. "Child, if you have nothing else to do, you should leave for today. If you stay too long, those youngsters outside are bound to grow suspicious."

"Yes, Elder Jin. I'll take my leave for now." Xiang Jun bowed slightly to Elder Jin, then headed out of the room.

"Well, Little Jin, I'll be off too." Poseidon yawned, and his figure vanished on the spot.

By the time Xiang Jun left the Sea God Pavilion, a streak of red had risen along the horizon. He rubbed his somewhat empty stomach and headed for the Inner Court Cafeteria.

After all, the sky was vast and the earth was wide, but nothing mattered more than a meal.

On his way to the Cafeteria, Xiang Jun ran into a familiar, lovely figure.

"Sister Ruoruo? Are you going to the Cafeteria for dinner too? You look exhausted, though."

Xiang Jun blinked. Han Ruoruo seemed to have lost her usual composure. Deep fatigue lingered between her brows, and her whole expression said, I'm tired. Let it all be destroyed.

"Oh? Xiang Jun, it's you."

Han Ruoruo sighed and walked shoulder to shoulder with Xiang Jun toward the Cafeteria.

"While you've been gone, Class One, Freshmen has practically become a gathering place for little monsters! Those two girls, Tang Wutong and Gu Yuena, are the worst. They've come to blows in class more than once. I'm worried sick!"

Tang Wutong and Gu Yuena?

Xiang Jun was puzzled. Tang Wutong being a little monster made sense, but what was going on with Gu Yuena?

Could it be the aura of the Asura God on Tang Wutong? After all, the Asura God split the Dragon God in two with a single sword strike.

At that thought, understanding dawned on Xiang Jun.

Enemies meeting face-to-face. No wonder.

"Forget it. No more talk about those headaches. Today, dinner at the Inner Court Cafeteria is on me!"

"But isn't everything at the Inner Court Cafeteria free?"

"Hehe. You caught me."

There were fewer than a hundred students in the Shrek Inner Court, and most of them often went out on Inspection Team assignments. As a result, the Cafeteria was rather quiet.

When Xiang Jun and Han Ruoruo arrived, there were only a dozen or so people inside.

After getting several servings of Soul Beast meat that would have fetched sky-high prices outside, the two sat down at an empty table.

That was right. Unlike the Outer Court Cafeteria, the Inner Court Cafeteria had chairs.

"Xiang Jun, what's your relationship with Tang Wutong? You two seem awfully close." Han Ruoruo blinked, a knowing smile spreading across her pretty face.

"We're pretty good friends, I suppose." Xiang Jun recalled the white stockings Tang Wutong kept forcing on him every few days, and his expression turned a little unnatural.

Still warm ones, at that.

"Are you sure you're just friends? I've seen every little thing you and Tang Wutong get up to during class!"

Han Ruoruo looked at him teasingly. His slightly flustered expression only made her more playful.

Unable to resist, she raised a hand and, while Xiang Jun wasn't paying attention, vigorously ruffled his hair.

"Sister Ruoruo, I've suddenly realized you're such a gossip."
