Chapter 219

After enduring for a few seconds, Xu Jintang began to manipulate his mental energy.

Lightning bolts kept striking down from above, and with each strike, Xu Jintang's body would tremble, but he would quickly regain his composure and begin to absorb the power contained within the lightning.

After an unknown amount of time, lightning struck again and again.

Xu Jintang initially forced himself to endure it, but gradually began to enjoy it.

The power of lightning caused her mental strength to surge dramatically.

Beyond the void.

Ice Soul Dragon and Thunder Dragon King sat facing each other, with a bottle of fine wine that had been treasured for hundreds of years placed in front of them.

"Brother Long, your method is brilliant! Now, who can know where you're hiding?" Thunder Dragon King picked up his wine cup and downed it in one gulp.

The Ice Soul Dragon remained calm, raising its eyes to look at the person opposite it. "And you? If you can't break through to the Tenth Tier soon, you'll probably have to start thinking about what to do after a while."

The Thunder Dragon King, who had been all smiles, suddenly looked dejected.

He put down his wine glass and shook his head slightly. "Sigh, I have a feeling I won't be able to break through to the Tenth Tier. If all else fails, I might as well learn from you and find a human to cooperate with?"

Ice Soul Dragon pondered for a moment, "Then you don't need to look anymore, just come with me?"

Thunder Dragon King was stunned. "Can her spiritual sea withstand it?"

"Yes, she has two special abilities; her mental sea is already twice the size of others. Later, I used dragon bones and dragon blood to further expand the area of her mental sea, and now it can easily accommodate you."

"That works too." Thunder Dragon King nodded. "Let's see how she is after she finishes her cultivation."

Time passed day by day.

Xu Jintang was completely absorbed in his cultivation and had lost track of how much time had passed.

Until the spiritual energy within her body suddenly reached an extreme level.

She realized she was about to achieve another breakthrough.

Xu Jintang took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, steadied his mind, and began to attempt a breakthrough.

She had been stuck at the Peak of the Fourth Tier for a long time, but unexpectedly, this experience led to a breakthrough in that area.

"Hey, you broke through so quickly." The Ice Soul Dragon's voice rang out.

He was also surprised by Xu Jintang's rapid progress.

"You're preparing for your breakthrough, I'll protect you and also help you unseal a portion of the dragon bone's power."

After speaking, the Ice Soul Dragon returned directly to her spiritual sea, and a domineering and powerful force began to spread throughout her body.

This breakthrough took a long time.

Xu Jintang's consciousness began to drift.

At this moment, the cool power of the Ice Soul Dragon was injected into him, waking Xu Jintang up.

"Hold on a little longer, I'm about to try releasing the energy of the dragon bones," the Ice Soul Dragon reminded him.

Xu Jintang snapped back to reality, straightened his back, and said, "Okay."

The energy of the dragon bone was enormous, and Xu Jintang's strength at the time was naturally insufficient to fully digest and absorb it. Therefore, in order to ensure Xu Jintang's safety, the Ice Soul Dragon directly sealed 90% of the dragon bone's power.

With Xu Jintang breaking through to the Fifth Tier, his strength will increase significantly, and he will naturally be able to unlock a portion of the Dragon Bone Power.

"Boom--"

Once the power of the dragon bone was released, it exploded instantly, surging towards all parts of Xu Jintang's body.

A new wave of pain is coming.

Large beads of sweat appeared on Xu Jintang's forehead, and his eyes revealed a hint of suppressed pain.

The powerful energy fluctuations even caused distortions and changes in the surrounding air.

Two full hours passed.

The vortex of power gradually shrank, and the fluctuations of the dragon bone power within his body also weakened.

As everything returned to calm, Xu Jintang slowly finished her practice and opened her eyes.

It was already perceptible that her spiritual energy had directly broken through to the Fifth Tier.

"Not bad, this breakthrough directly unlocked 30% of the dragon bone energy," the Ice Soul Dragon said with satisfaction.

Xu Jintang raised her hands and stretched, "That feels good."

"By the way, there's something I want to discuss with you. The Thunder Dragon King has been at the Ninth Tier for over a hundred years now, and it's estimated that he won't be able to break through when his lifespan ends. So he's planning to find a human to cooperate with, just like I have."

Xu Jintang immediately realized, "You're looking for me?"

"Hmm. His strength is among the top in the demon beast world. You won't lose out by having him follow you."

Once you've had the experience once, it's actually much easier to accept the second time.

Xu Jintang quickly nodded in agreement, "Sure."

Including the Green-Membrane Archaeopteryx and Jin Xiaobao, her mental sea of consciousness is already big enough to fill a mahjong table.

It's nice that it's lively.

"Okay, I'll go talk to him."

Thunder Dragon King was a decisive person; after hearing Xu Jintang's agreement, he immediately got to work.

Two days later, the Thunder Dragon King successfully entered Xu Jintang's spiritual sea of consciousness.

As soon as he walked in, Jin Xiaobao complained, "I'm speechless, another one? How are so many people going to live together?!"

"Just bear with it," Xu Jintang said, trying to help.

Jin Xiaobao snorted coldly and quickly disappeared.

Thunder Dragon King transformed into a small dragon, swam around in his sea of consciousness, and looked at Ice Soul Dragon with a teasing expression, "This place is really nice, no wonder you're so comfortable."

Chapter 219

The Ice Soul Dragon chuckled. "Now that you're here, I won't be bored anymore."

The two old friends thus began to reminisce within Xu Jintang's mental consciousness.

Xu Jintang's consciousness quickly returned to his senses.

At this moment, she had already been teleported out of the final trial level.

A noisy murmur reached my ears.

"Oh my god, have you heard? A newbie seems to be stuck in the hard-level trial and can't get out."

"That terrifying?"

"The difficult-level trials are full of illusions and mirages; if you can't stay true to yourself, it's easy to get lost in them."

"Ugh, that's scary. I was thinking of giving it a try, but I think I'll pass."

Xu Jintang turned his gaze to the group of people who were discussing.

She strongly suspected that the newcomer these people were talking about, trapped in the trial and unable to get out, was herself.

She must have been cultivating in the Lightning Space for at least half a month, which, in the real world, is more than a week.

After Li Caizhe and the others came out and couldn't find her, they naturally assumed that she was trapped in the trial.

After thinking for a moment, she didn't explain anything and turned to walk towards the entrance of the trial.

I wanted to try the difficult level trial again.

However, an unexpected change occurred. Someone shouted, "What's going on? It seems we can't enter this trial level."

The sound quickly drew everyone's attention. "Huh?"

"Can't we go in?"

Xu Jintang's gaze also turned in that direction.

She stood at the entrance to the trial and tried. Originally, she could have entered the trial level directly with a thought, but she stood there for a long time and still couldn't enter successfully.

It seems there's really a problem.

"I forgot to tell you, the trials in the Land of the North Sea rely on my energy to remain open. I've now poured all my power into your body, and without my energy support, the Land of the North Sea is naturally rendered useless."

The Thunder Dragon King's voice emanated from within his spiritual sea of consciousness.

Xu Jintang showed a hint of regret.

The Mental Power Irrigation from the Land of the North Sea is indeed quite effective.

However, the regret quickly disappeared when she realized that all of Thunder Dragon King's power already belonged to her.

No matter how you look at it, she's the biggest winner.

"Strange, this kind of bug has never occurred in the Land of the North Sea in all these years."

"Could it be that the energy here is running low?"

"Can this bug be fixed? We just arrived."

The murmurs grew louder.

More and more people are finding themselves unable to enter the trial levels, but no one has been able to solve the problem.

Of course, no one would know that the Thunder Dragon King, who had always been stationed in the Land of the North Sea, had disappeared.

After leaving Land of the North Sea, Xu Jintang headed towards Star City.

With more than a month to go before the league starts, she can think of what else she can do to kill time.

In a grove of trees a hundred miles from Star City, a sudden heavy snowfall began under a clear blue sky.

Xu Jintang, with a cold face, raised his hand and summoned a new skill effect— Road of Frost.

With a wave of her hand, a broad road covered with thin ice quickly spread out beneath her feet.

The sunlight shone on the ice, refracting into a dazzling array of colors, and wisps of cold air occasionally emanated from it, making people shiver.

Road of Frost is a skill she acquired after reaching Fifth Tier.

All enemies covered by the Road of Frost will instantly suffer damage from the backlash of mental energy and be frozen in ice.

"The effect is not bad." After experiencing the damage of this new skill, the Ice Soul Dragon commented silently.

Xu Jintang looked down at his palm, "However, I feel that my biggest improvement is probably in close combat ability."

"Of course, you've just absorbed 30% of the dragon bone's power, and with the new dragon bones and blood injected into you by the Thunder Dragon King, your physical strength is now completely comparable to a Sixth Tier expert."

Xu Jintang slowly clenched his fist, instantly gathering his strength, and blasted it towards the large tree opposite him from a distance.

The next second, the originally thick tree trunk snapped and collapsed.

It fell to the ground with a loud "bang," causing the ground to shake.

Xu Jintang looked at his palm with a surprised expression.

Her physical strength had become so great that she could strike objects from a distance.

"Make way, friends in front!" A clear, sweet voice called from behind.

Xu Jintang was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and assumed a defensive stance.

Song Ziqian ran up from behind with a tense face.

Two men in black appeared to be chasing her; one held a sword and the other a gourd of wine, relentlessly attacking Song Ziqian.
