Two hours later, when the hundreds of prodigies arrived at the center of the Lightning Burial Ground after being struck by lightning, the Lightning Tree was already fully formed.
In an instant, the atmosphere became tense.
All the prodigies looked at each other with hostility.
They all surrounded the Lightning Tree 100 meters away, and no one dared to be the first to rush over.
You guard against me, I guard against him, he looks at you, and you stare at him!
The hundreds of prodigies were like ants under the Lightning Tree, too weak to even stand up to the wind.
It was as if a bolt of lightning could blast them all into powder.
Some of them were wearing black pot-shaped protective divine artifacts, some were wearing full battle suits, and some were sitting in protective chariots.
The rainstorm-like lightning struck these divine artifacts, constantly emitting bursts of light.
The runes on the divine artifacts flickered, as if they couldn't hold on for long.
In fact, they only had one day to pick the Lightning Dao Fruit.
After this time, unless they had a more advanced protective divine artifact, they could only escape from here as fast as they could.
Those who could last until the end were all disciples of the three major factions.
They were the ones who benefited the most.
Only the Three Outstanding Demon Eagles came from the Demon Race.
Four from the Demon Race came, and two from the Asura Race came.
The others were all lightning cultivators from various sects and families.
However, they were all famous people on the Prodigy Roll.
They were basically the kind of people who didn't submit to anyone.
Of course, there were also some prodigies who were ranked at the top of the Newcomer Roll.
Their strength was naturally inferior to those on the Prodigy Roll, and they were all here to try their luck. It would be best if they could get the Lightning Dao Fruit, but it didn't matter if they didn't.
They could also benefit a lot from comprehending the lightning for a few hours.
"Haha!
Everyone, the Three Outstanding Demon Eagles will definitely have a share of the Lightning Dao Fruit. We won't stand on ceremony for the first step! "
With that, the Three Outstanding Demon Eagles took a step forward at the same time.
However, they didn't immediately move forward. Instead, they looked around with provocative eyes.
"If the Demon Race has a share of the Lightning Dao Fruit, of course, the Demon Race will also have a share!"
The four Demon Race prodigies also took a step forward without showing any weakness.
The two Asura Race prodigies didn't say anything and also took a step forward.
The disciples of the three strongest sects in the Fourth Heavenly Layer displayed their arrogance.
The other Heaven's Prides remained silent. None of them stood out to object.
Even if there were people ranked higher than the nine of them on the Prodigy Roll, they would not choose to fight at this time.
After all, this was not an arena, nor was it a place to compete for rankings and show off the might of the sect.
Those who took the first step might not necessarily be able to harvest the most.
Even if you have a way to identify the real and fake Dao Thunder Fruits, there are only thirty-six real fruits on the ten thousand feet tall Thunder Tree.
Just looking for it would take a lot of time, and you wouldn't even have a hundred percent chance of distinguishing the real from the fake. Can the three sects do it all?
The nine of them were just showing off their backgrounds in front of everyone.
If it weren't for their powerful backgrounds, they would be nothing!
The nine of them swept their proud gazes across the faces of the other prodigies one by one.
They knew what these people were thinking, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
Choice is greater than hard work. You guys don't come from good backgrounds, so no matter how hard you work, it won't have any effect.
However, at this moment, the nine of them suddenly realized that the other prodigies did not look angry or indignant.
Instead, they looked behind them, as if there was something even more curious behind them that was attracting them.
Swoosh!
The nine of them turned to look in the direction of the Thunder Tree at the same time.
"It's him?"
"Wasn't he struck to death by the lightning?
How did he get to the bottom of the Thunder Tree without a sound? "
The Three Outstanding Demon Eagles were stunned when they saw Zhang Xing's back view.
The Demon Race and Asura Race prodigies were also stunned.
However, immediately after, their pupils constricted, and they all looked extremely shocked.
"He doesn't have a divine artifact to protect him, but he can actually ignore the lightning as if it doesn't exist?"
"Am I seeing things?"
"The lightning that can destroy the soul of a prodigy like us actually doesn't have any effect on him?"
"Could it be that he has comprehended the Ultimate Dao of Lightning?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. I've seen this human before. He doesn't have a Lightning Constitution at all!"
"Then he... Oh no, he's going to pluck the Dao Thunder Fruit!"
"Hmph!
Do you think the Dao Thunder Fruit is so easy to pluck? We'll just watch from the side. "
"That's right. We can let him find the fake Dao Thunder Fruits for us."
"Forget it. How many can he find? Maybe one of them will be enough to take his life!"
At this point, all the prodigies shut up and looked at Zhang Xing.
However, they all looked at him with mocking eyes. Subconsciously, even if Zhang Xing could pluck the real Dao Thunder Fruit, he couldn't take it away.
As for who could snatch it from Zhang Xing's hands, that was not up to the nine people from the three major sects.
Whoever snatched it would own it, it would depend on their own abilities!
Zhang Xing's hand stopped above an egg-sized Dao Thunder Fruit.
"Eh?
What's this? "
Zhang Xing deeply realizes that the thunder and lightning here is different from the thunder and lightning of magic land in the state of selflessness.
However, their essence was the same. It was just that the elements that formed them were different.
This was a mysterious and profound thing that could only be understood and not expressed.
At this time, Zhang Xing suddenly had an idea. I wonder if it's possible to let lightning temper my physical body.
When he had this idea and was about to implement it, he suddenly discovered that there was a huge lightning tree in front of him.
It could also be said that in his subconscious mind, he was attracted by the lightning tree.
However, he was immersed in the Dao of Lightning and neglected the existence of the lightning tree.
When he saw the jewel-like Dao Thunder Fruit, he couldn't help but be extremely surprised.
However, he soon discovered that these densely packed fruits all contained a power even more powerful than lightning.
"Can I use it to temper my body?"
Zhang Xing's right hand paused and decided to give it a try.
However, he couldn't use his entire body to try. If he was blasted into pieces and couldn't recover, then he would really die in vain.
After all, this place was different from other places. The blood in his body was very likely to be annihilated completely by the lightning in an instant.
Even if he knew a little bit of the Dao of Life, it was also useless and couldn't be revived!
"Then let's try with this right hand!"
Zhang Xing instantly cut off the connection between his right hand and the Dao of Lightning and grabbed that fake Dao Thunder Fruit.
Boom!
Just as his fingers touched the fake Dao Thunder Fruit, before he could even react, his entire right arm was blasted into nothingness!
Hiss!
Zhang Xing sucked in a breath of cold air.
The lightning here was indeed extraordinary. The speed of the explosion was even faster than the Divine Thought.
Moreover, as he expected, not a single drop of blood survived from the arm that was blasted into nothingness.
"Haha …"
Seeing that Zhang Xing had been blasted into nothingness, all the prodigies burst into laughter.
"This is too funny!
Like a fool, he went up and grabbed the Dao Thunder Fruit. Do you think it's an ordinary fruit? "
"Haha!
What an idiot. He didn't even use a weapon to test it! "
"Fortunately, he was lucky enough to only have one arm blown off!"
"Hey!
Human brat, continue! "
"…"
