Wang Lin looked at the thunder lake square, especially at the thunder spirit that was moving around. His eyes revealed a strange expression. The human trial was a bit difficult, but this earth trial … The strange expression in Wang Lin's eyes became even stronger.
Xi Zifeng pursed her lips as she looked at Wang Lin and then at the thunder lake square. Worry appeared in her heart. She touched her bag of holding and pondered for a long time. She clenched her teeth and ignored the redness on her cheeks. She jumped into the air like a butterfly and flew toward the group of people competing for titles.
She was already very beautiful, and now her cheeks were completely red. She charged at Wang Lin, lowered her head, and took out a green jade from her bag of holding. She softly said, "This … is for you …" With that, she placed the jade in her hand in Wang Lin's hand and quickly flew back with a red face.
When she returned, she could hear her heart beating even faster. When she returned to her original position, she immediately lowered her head and her mind was completely blank.
When the Xi family's ancestor saw this, he let out a sigh and revealed a complicated expression.
"Enter the thunder lake!"
Master Flamespark's voice echoed across the world and turned into a thunderous rumble. This caused the thunder inside the thunder lake to change violently. The 30 feet area at the center of the thunder lake was filled with thunder. In an instant, this 10,000 feet area turned into a real thunder lake!
Waves of thunder flashed as the thunder lake gave off an oppressive aura. A majority of the cultivators felt their scalps go numb just looking at it.
In particular, the snake-shaped thunder spirit would occasionally gather inside the thunder lake and let out bursts of roars.
Xu Ting let out a cold snort and was the first to walk towards the lightning pool. The moment he stepped into the lightning pool, countless arcs of lightning spread from his feet to his entire body. Almost in an instant, his entire body was filled with lightning.
Xu Ting's body trembled. He took a deep breath, took five steps, and sat down in the lotus position.
After him, Shengong Hu stepped out. His cultivation was related to thunder, and he often cultivated in places filled with thunder. This wasn't his first time entering the thunder lake, so he was very calm. After entering the thunder lake, he sat down in the lotus position.
Soon after, more and more people stepped into the lightning pool and sat around it. However, some of them didn't have enough cultivation bases. The moment they stepped into the lightning pool, their bodies trembled and they quickly retreated. Their faces were pale, as if they had been injured.
Wang Lin held the jade that Xi Zifeng had given him. He looked at Xi Zifeng, who didn't dare to look at him, and let out a sigh. He had scanned the jade with his divine sense and knew that it could resist powerful thunder. It was obviously a defensive treasure for this woman.
After silently pondering, he put the jade in his robe and walked into the thunder lake.
Although Xi Zifeng had her head lowered, she could see what Wang Lin was doing. When she saw Wang Lin put the jade in his robe, her heart began to beat faster.
However, at this moment, she didn't see that after her cousin, the handsome man in green, entered the thunder lake, he looked at Wang Lin with a deeply hidden hostility.
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he walked into the thunder lake. The moment his right foot stepped on the thunder lake, he immediately felt a powerful surge of thunder enter his body through his right foot.
A very comfortable feeling immediately spread through Wang Lin's body, as if this place was his home. However, Wang Lin's expression didn't change at all as he walked forward. As he walked, the thunder inside the thunder lake flashed and circled around his body, creating thunderous rumbles.
After finding an empty space, Wang Lin sat down in the lotus position.
"The second trial begins, using the drum to calculate the time!"
Just as Master Flamespark's voice echoed, two messengers of the Thunder Celestial Temple closed in. There was a flash of black light between them and a large drum appeared.
Dong!
A long and drawn-out sound of a drum reverberated in the world. This sound seemed to have replaced the rumbling of thunder, and a single beat from the drum would last for one breath!
There were nearly 200 cultivators sitting cross-legged inside the 10,000 meter lightning pool. When the first sound of the drum echoed out, the lightning inside the lightning pool seemed to be shaken. It immediately rose up three inches. Intense thunder roared and turned into boundless lightning. It was as if a storm of lightning had appeared inside the lightning pool.
Within the tempest, the Lightning Spirit, which was formed from the glow of lightning, roamed about, emanating an indescribable might of lightning. It spread out for three thousand meters, causing the power of the lightning pool to undergo shocking transformations.
Large amounts of thunder flashed and entered the bodies of the cultivators. The cultivators either resisted or took out defensive treasures. In an instant, the thunder lake shined brightly!
Xu Ting was surrounded by black fog to prevent the thunder from invading. As for the other cultivators, they all had their own ways to resist.
As Wang Lin sat there, thunder roared around him. Large amounts of Thunder entered his body and nourished his origin soul. This caused his origin soul, which had been damaged during the battle with Russell, to rapidly recover.
This feeling made him feel very comfortable. At this moment, he closed his eyes and didn't even look at the others.
Dong!
The second drum beat echoed in the air. In an instant, the power of the thunder lake became even stronger. The thunder spirit roared and thick bolts of thunder lashed out like whips. Every time a bolt of thunder landed on a cultivator's body, the cultivator's body would tremble!
The sound of the drum reverberated in the air. The third sound, the fourth sound … all the way until the tenth sound. The power of the lightning pool had already reached an earth-shattering level. Countless bolts of lightning shot up to three zhang, enveloping the entire pool.
Immediately, a cultivator from the Southern Domain of the Luo Tian coughed out a mouthful of blood. His body was hit by a powerful force and was thrown out. Blood splattered everywhere; he was injured.
The fog around Xu Ting became even thicker, as if it could block out the Thunder. His expression was calm as he stared at Wang Lin. He had been observing Wang Lin for a long time, and Wang Lin's actions after entering the thunder lake were too strange.
"This Xu Mu didn't resist at all and didn't activate any treasures. He just calmly sat there as if this was his closed door cultivation room. What's even more strange is that when the powerful power of Thunder entered his body, it actually … disappeared?"
The more Xu Ting watched, the more shocked he became. He couldn't help but have all kinds of speculations, but he couldn't guess the real answer.
One of the two messengers of the Thunder Celestial Temple waved his right hand and landed on the surface of the drum. The 11th sound of the drum echoed.
Within the pool of lightning, all of the lightning began to tremble. Suddenly, all of the lightning began to gather in one place. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a snake-like creature that was 1,000 feet long. It looked like a snake, but at the same time, it looked like a dragon. It was formed from lightning, and it emitted the might of Heaven and Earth!
It was the thunder spirit!
"Roar!!"
The moment the thunder spirit was formed, it immediately let out a roar. This roar reverberated through the air and turned into a thunderous roar that seemed to come from ancient times. It shook the heavens and the earth and shook the hearts of all cultivators!
Even the black fog around Xu Ting almost collapsed at this moment. There was a hint of shock in his eyes as his hands formed a seal and more black fog came out from between his eyebrows and surrounded the area.
If Xu Ting was like this, there was no need to talk about the other cultivators. After this earth-shattering roar, more than a dozen people coughed out blood and were thrown away.
As the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth drum beats rang out, the thunder spirit's roars became even more intense. In the end, when the fifteenth drum beat rang out, the thunder spirit's entire body rushed out. It opened its mouth wide and spat out a large amount of lightning!
The thunderous rumbles caused the sky to change colors, and the expressions of the surrounding cultivators changed. Although they were outside, they could still feel the irresistible might of the heavens within the thunder spirit's roar!
This pressure condensed and reached its peak as the thunder spirit spat out a ray of thunder. Dozens more people coughed out blood and were thrown out. The terror in their eyes had reached the point of fear.
Shengong Hu struggled bitterly. His limit in the past was 15 breaths, but at this moment, there was a belief in his heart that allowed him to persist.
Zhan Konglie took a deep breath and also clenched his teeth to endure.
Even the six-fingered cultivator and the big-headed boy were the same. However, it was obvious they hadn't used their full strength and were a bit relaxed. However, compared to Wang Lin, this ease was insignificant.
As Wang Lin sat there, the large amount of thunder entered his body and nourished his origin soul. His injuries from before were completely healed in just a dozen breaths of time. Not only that, but even the hidden danger left by his battle with Yao Bingyun was completely eliminated!
As for the thunder spirit's roar, when it landed on Wang Lin's body, it was like a child roaring at him. Although this feeling was a bit strange, it was indeed what he felt at this moment.
Although this child was extremely powerful in many people's eyes, to Wang Lin, it was just a child. It could be said that this was a child that was constantly evolving into a thunder dragon!
Wang Lin's expression was neutral and he ignored everything around him. He closed his eyes and calmly absorbed the thunder here, causing his ancient thunder dragon origin soul to gradually become stronger.
After 15 drum beats, the thunder spirit seemed to have been freed from its shackles. It let out a roar and swept its body. Its large body created a wave of thunder that swept the area. More than a dozen cultivators were hit by the wave of thunder. Their faces turned pale and they were sent flying.
The thunder spirit seemed to be very proud as it let out a roar and swept by once more. This time it swept by Wang Lin!
The moment the thunder spirit's body swept by, Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes and coldly stared at the thunder spirit. This gaze was like someone looking at an ignorant child playing!
