They were in the middle of the Wine Master's Reaper Arena.
The Wine Master's face betrayed his reluctance, but he couldn't say anything in the presence of the photographer.
Lan Jue and the Driver were working with yin and yang lightning. One could only imagine the amount of energy they released.
If it weren't for Roxanne, he wouldn't have allowed them to train here.
Lan Jue and the Driver walked to the center of the arena.
Lan Jue nodded. "I'll be the one to guide them."
"Be careful," the Driver said. "Don't do it like last time."
Lan Jue assured him. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
These days, his understanding of the [Tai Chi Divine Exercise] had already made a great breakthrough, so it was naturally much easier for him to control his own energy.
Moreover, after fusing with the energy of the Thunder Essence, not only did his Law of Thunder increase in strength, but it also gradually reduced the violent nature of the original lightning.
Or perhaps it was better to say that he could control it.
Lan Jue's hands moved in a circle. Suddenly, a ball of golden lightning emerged from his palms. It gently floated in front of him.
The Driver's eyes narrowed. From the way Lan Jue controlled his own lightning, he could tell he was stronger than he was.
Lan Jue's hands moved in a circle as well, and a ball of silver lightning appeared.
Silver light flickered, and bolts of lightning constantly revolved around it.
Lan Jue's golden lightning, on the other hand, looked solid. There was no flicker of electricity.
In terms of control, the difference was clear.
Neither of them had unleashed a large amount of lightning. Lan Jue's hands moved, and his own and the Driver's silver bolts floated in the air.
His hands moved in an arc, and black and white light flowed out like a viscous liquid. It easily glued the two balls of lightning together, then softened and converged in the center.
The Driver carefully watched Lan Jue's movements. He was a hundred and twenty percent careful, ready to react at a moment's notice.
The memory of the last explosion was still fresh in his mind.
This time, the two of them released even purer lightning energy. Once they exploded, the resulting power would be even greater.
Lan Jue's expression was calm. Under the control of the Tai Chi Divine Skill, the Divine Yin Thunder and the Divine Sun Thunder approached each other slowly.
The true essence of the Tai Chi Divine Exercise was the harmony of Yin and Yang, which coincided with the Yin and Yang Lightning.
The two slowly came into contact, and a strange scene appeared.
Lan Jue could clearly feel the Driver's Taiyin Lightning as soon as it came into contact with his own. It melted into the Driver's Taiyin Lightning without any resistance.
Meanwhile, the Sun God Thunder just opened its chest and let it fuse in.
There wasn't a single trace of the irritation they felt when they fused the Yin-Yang Dual Lightning.
Lan Jue could still clearly remember that the last time they fused, the two types of Divine Lightning energy were clearly not giving way to each other. Both of them wanted to gain the upper hand. Although the fusion was successful in the end, the lightning after the fusion became abnormally violent.
But this time, that irritation had strangely disappeared. It was hard to imagine.
What was going on?
Lan Jue didn't understand either. Suddenly, the two types of Divine Lightning began to change.
Gold and silver merged, and as they did they began to sublimate.
Lan Jue's Tai Chi Divine Skill's black and white light was sucked in like a black hole.
In front of Lan Jue was a ball of light that was at least three times the size of the first.
This ball of light was a strange blue.
It was different from the blue of their first encounter. This blue was like a crystal, clear and transparent. Inside, there were thousands of facets that refracted light.
It was like a huge diamond, and it was all cut with perfect craftsmanship.
The entire arena shimmered with a blinding light.
Roxanne's eyes lit up. "It's beautiful!"
Beautiful?
Lan Jue, however, didn't think so. He could feel the terrifying power contained within that dazzling bolt of lightning.
It was a kind of energy fluctuation filled with life aura, but it was also filled with destruction.
Life and destruction were only separated by a thin line.
In that instant, Lan Jue's mind flashed with understanding.
The Thunder Essence that was glued to his energy core also seemed to sense something and moved slightly.
Lan Jue said to the Driver. "I'll begin to infuse the combined lightning energy into our bodies. Follow the formula I taught you. Don't make any mistakes. Be careful, be careful."
"Alright."
The Driver's forehead was wet with sweat, but the arrow was already nocked on the bowstring. He couldn't back down now.
Lan Jue took a step forward and pushed her hands out.
The Driver took a deep breath. Silver light flashed in his eyes as he lifted his hands.
The crystalline blue ball of lightning swirled around Lan Jue's palms like liquid. Then it moved closer to the Driver.
Four palms met, and the Driver's body shook. He felt the power of the lightning penetrate through every meridian in his body.
Every cell in his body was paralyzed.
The Driver had been immersed in the practice of yin lightning for many years, and had only recently learned the Taiji method.
His eyes were resolute as he guided the energy into his body. It fused with his own yin lightning, and he began to circulate it according to the Taiji method.
Lan Jue was doing the same.
At first they only took a small amount of it into their bodies.
The Driver used it to guide his own yin lightning.
Under the effect of the Fusion Divine Thunder, the energy of his Divine Yin Thunder was at least three times stronger than usual. It circulated rapidly and slowly absorbed the Fusion Divine Thunder.
Lan Jue's situation was much simpler. The fusion lightning entered his body, but before he could control it, the Core in his chest responded with a suction force. The crystal-clear, azure energy flowed into the Core on its own.
When it came in contact with the thunder essence, Lan Jue could clearly see it flicker, as though it had been stimulated.
Afterwards, an incomparably pure thunder energy was released from the thunder essence and poured into his energy core.
In a moment, Lan Jue felt his body shake. His cultivation had increased.
Furthermore, his energy core seemed to have undergone a slight change as well.
This …
Before today, Lan Jue had been trying to absorb the thunder essence's energy every day.
Although the thunder essence looked soft, it was actually very strong. After so many days, Lan Jue had only managed to absorb a small amount.
However, this point alone had already caused some qualitative changes in his lightning.
But just now, the thunder essence had been stimulated by the lightning essence to release its own energy. It had fused with Lan Jue's Core.
The effect was equivalent to ten days of Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin's combined cultivation.
It required yin and yang lightning to activate the thunder essence!
Lan Jue couldn't help but be overjoyed at this discovery.
He quickly called in another bolt of lightning and poured it into the thunder essence.
Lan Jue's body had been transformed by both Captus and the thunder essence. Compared to the Driver, he was much more resilient. And with the thunder essence, any lightning energy that entered his body wouldn't be able to do as he pleased. Instead, it would be drawn to the thunder essence.
Lan Jue quickly absorbed most of the yin and yang lightning they had created.
By the time the Driver absorbed it all, there wasn't much left of the Fused Thunderbolt.
"This …" The Driver looked at Lan Jue in surprise. "How did you absorb it so quickly?
Aren't you afraid of the backlash? "
Lan Jue smiled. "Haven't you heard of the word 'gifted'?
Besides, Qian Lin and I are stronger than you, so of course we can absorb it faster.
How do you feel? "
The Driver shrugged helplessly. "Comparisons are odious!
I feel good.
It's only a small amount, but it's been good for my cultivation. My progress has increased several times over.
Furthermore, I could feel that after fusing with this lightning, my lightning energy was being changed by it.
Even my understanding of the Law of Lightning seemed to have increased a little.
It looks like we've found the right path. "
Lan Jue nodded. "I feel good as well.
Let's continue.
Be careful, don't rush things. "
"Yeah." The Driver nodded in agreement.
Just as the two of them were preparing to create more yin and yang lightning, the Reaper Arena shuddered. The stable space around them began to distort.
"What's going on?" Lan Jue and the Driver rushed to stop.
This was the Wine Master's personal dimension, created by his Paragon cultivation.
For it to suddenly become unstable, either there was a problem with this space or something big had happened in the outside world.
The two of them didn't dare continue with their training. Their eyes darted to the Wine Master.
The Wine Master's face changed. His scepter appeared in his hand, and with a wave of it a silver light wrapped around them. In the blink of an eye they were back in the Reaper Arena.
Once they were back on Skyfire Avenue, their senses were clear.
After a brief moment of surprise, Lan Jue, the Driver, the Wine Master, and the Cameraman all looked on with interest.
"Quick!
Gather your Star Division troops on Skyfire Avenue.
I'll go tell that guy to hold on a little longer. I'll buy you some time. "The Wine Master spoke to Lan Jue without hesitation.
After saying this, he immediately turned into a silver light and disappeared.
Lan Jue snapped out of her reverie and pulled on her communicator. "Xiaosu, did you feel that?
I want all four brigades of Star Division to gather on Skyfire Avenue. Now! "
"Yes, boss." Xiaosu's voice was filled with excitement.
The Driver looked suspiciously at Lan Jue. "Who is this?"
Lan Jue smirked. He felt the change in the air, the rising protogenia. "Take a guess."
