Rumble!
The black sea of lightning surged endlessly as peals of thunder reverberated across the entire space, causing even the space to hum and tremble.
( )
Whoosh!
The black sea of lightning was suddenly torn apart as a figure made of lightning shot out, hovering in the air above the sea of lightning. Gigantic bolts of Divine Black Lightning howled over, landing on the figure's body, causing countless bolts of lightning to shoot out. The figure spread his hands apart, appearing to be extremely intoxicated.
When he had cultivated his Lightning God's Physique to the Quadra Rune Lightning Physique, Mu Chen's resistance towards the Divine Black Lightning had already increased by quite a bit. He would no longer be bombarded into a rather miserable state like he was in the past. Even when the erratic energies of the Divine Black Lightning invaded his body, it would only bring about a numb and numb feeling, which was extremely comfortable.
Hu.
Lowering his arms, Mu Chen deeply exhaled a clump of white air, with lightning sparkling within it. At this moment, an excited smile was brimming on his face. Indeed, his Quadra Rune Lightning Physique was much, much more tyrannical than his Diplo Rune Lightning Physique.
Raising his head, he looked towards the Northern Sea Dragon in the distance, before shooting over in a flash.
Sweeping his gaze across Mu Chen's body, a satisfied smile appeared on the Northern Sea Dragon's face. Cultivating his Lightning God's Physique from Quadra Rune to Quadra Rune in three months was already a pretty good speed.
"Many thanks, Senior Northern Sea."
Mu Chen cupped his fists and said respectfully. He knew that the Northern Sea Dragon's help was the greatest reason why he was able to achieve such progress. If not, the time needed would have been extended by at least a fold.
Waving his hand, the Northern Sea Dragon said, "After all, you're going to participate in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament for our Hokuang Reiwon, so I'll naturally hide my abilities.
If I can help, I'll help a little. "
Speaking till here, his voice paused as he shot a look at Mu Chen.
"However, I can only help you improve your Lightning God's Physique to this level in these three months. As for your Spiritual Energy cultivation, there isn't much of an improvement."
Mu Chen nodded his head. Over the past three months, he had mainly focused on cultivating his Lightning God's Physique, although his Spiritual Energy had also improved.
However, it did not have the astonishing progress of the Thunder God Body. Nevertheless, he was already very satisfied with this. After all, it had only been a short three months.
It was impossible for him to take care of both ends. He had to choose one as his focus.
"Isn't there still three months before the half-year deadline?
I used it all to cultivate my spiritual power.
Let's level up. "Mu Chen smiled.
Nodding his head, the Northern Sea Dragon replied, "Yes. However, I won't be guiding you for the next three months. Go somewhere else. For the next three months, you belong to someone else."
"Someone else's?" Mu Chen was stunned.
"For the last three months, Elder Ling Xi will guide you.
You just go with her, she said.
If you follow her, your strength will rise by leaps and bounds during these three months. "
With a mischievous chuckle, the Northern Sea Dragon sent a grin towards Mu Chen as he said, "Following her to cultivate is definitely better than following a boring old man like me. She's such a beautiful young lady, and has an extremely good relationship with you. You have to grasp this opportunity. This is the first time I've seen Ling Xi care so much about a male. In the past, even when facing us, she would always have an icy cold appearance."
Awkwardness filled Mu Chen's face. What kind of words were those?
"Alright, you can go. I'll be going into seclusion for a period of time."
Said the Northern Sea Dragon with his hands behind his back. Rays of light seemed to circulate on his aged face, while his eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to pierce through space, giving off an indescribable feeling of tyranny.
Upon seeing this, Mu Chen's heart faintly shook as he probed, "Is Senior Northern Sea about to make a breakthrough?"
Clearly, the Northern Sea Dragon's mood was exceedingly good. With a grin, he nodded his head and sighed, "I've already been stuck at this level for many years. This time, it's all thanks to you helping me obtain the Lightning God's Pill. After preparing for half a year, it's about time for me to attempt a breakthrough."
Mu Chen smacked his lips. If the Northern Sea Dragon was able to successfully make a breakthrough, he would be a genuine Earth Sovereign. At this level, he could be considered as an overlord of a region within the entire Great Thousand World. After all, even the powerful Luo God Clan, with Luo Li's grandfather, Luo Tianshen, being only an Earth Sovereign. However, despite that, he was still able to preserve the Luo God Clan under the covetous eyes of the other three great God Clans. From this, one could see exactly how powerful a power at that level was.
Although there was only a thin line between a Ninth Grade Sovereign and an Earth Sovereign, there was a world of difference between them. If the Northern Sea Dragon possessed the strength of an Earth Sovereign in the past, the Demonic Dragon Palace might not dare to provoke Hokuang Reiwon even if they were given a hundred times more guts. As for the so-called Immeasurable Old Ancestor, he wouldn't dare to step foot into the Northern Heavens Continent.
"Then, this kid will first congratulate Senior Northern Sea on your successful breakthrough," said Mu Chen respectfully as he cupped his hands.
With a smile, the Northern Sea Dragon nodded his head. With a wave of his sleeve, space started to warp and distort. In the next instant, a passageway towards Hokuang Reiwon was ripped open.
Seeing this, Mu Chen didn't bother the Northern Sea Dragon any longer. Turning around, he strode into the distorted space. As the space fluctuated chaotically, his figure completely disappeared.
Looking at the disappearing figure of Mu Chen, the Northern Sea Dragon's expression gradually turned solemn. With a clench of his hand, a smooth and round Lightning Pellet appeared within it. This pellet gave off a jet-black lustre, with lightning and lightning present within it. Appearing as if a world of lightning and lightning was forming within it, it appeared extremely profound and unfathomable.
Rumble!
As the Lightning God's Pellet appeared, lightning and thunder instantly rumbled within the final level of the Lightning Territory. Countless lightning bolts streaked across the horizon, causing the dusky space to appear as bright as day.
Roar!
At this moment, a roar rang out from the depths of the sea of lightning, as the Lightning Soul seemed to have sensed the Lightning God's Pellet.
The Northern Sea Dragon shot an indifferent glance at the depths of the sea of lightning, before retracting his gaze. Circular black light rippled out from his body, before his body started to distort and rapidly expand. In the short span of a few breaths, his body had transformed into a gigantic creature that stretched as far as the eye could see.
This creature's entire body was jet-black, and it looked like a fish, yet wasn't a fish, like a dragon, yet wasn't a dragon. When its wings were unfurled, they were akin to the wings of clouds, seemingly covering half of this space.
As the Lightning God's Pellet rushed towards the sky, the Northern Sea Dragon opened its gigantic mouth. Like a whale sucking in water, the Lightning God's Pellet was instantly accompanied by endless lightning as it crazily descended, before being completely devoured by the gigantic mouth.
Bang Bang!
As the Lightning God's Pellet entered his body, with a leap, the Northern Sea Dragon's gigantic body rushed straight into the depths of the sea of lightning. In the next instant, the entire space turned somewhat berserk, as the sea of lightning churned and churned, creating giant waves that were tens of thousands of metres high. The entire space appeared as if it was about to be destroyed, an extremely terrifying sight to behold.
An astonishing breakthrough was quietly brewing in the depths of the sea of lightning.
After stepping into the spatial passageway, Mu Chen naturally didn't know about the astonishing commotion that had occurred in the final level of the Lightning Territory. Even if he knew about it, he wouldn't be able to provide any help. Breaking through to such a level would completely depend on oneself. Other than praying for the Northern Sea Dragon, there was nothing else he could do.
Space distorted in the sky above Hokuang Reiwon, before Mu Chen appeared. Looking towards the azure horizon, he looked towards the spiritual beasts flying across the horizon, before hearing the energetic sounds radiating from the entire Hokuang Reiwon. Every time he came out from the Lightning Territory, he would feel as if he had seen the light of day again.
That place was too stifling. However, it had to be said that it was indeed an exceedingly good training ground.
Standing in the air, Mu Chen swept his gaze around. After pondering for a brief moment, he headed straight towards the mountain peak where Ling Xi was located. As of now, Luo Li and the rest were clearly still training within the Door of the Northern Heavens. There was no need for him to return to the Freshman region. Therefore, he had to make the best use of his time to find Ling Xi.
After a few minutes, Mu Chen's figure landed on the secluded mountain peak. This was the place where Ling Xi lived alone. Not only did students not dare to approach her, even some of the higher-ups of the Spiritual Academy rarely came here. After all, they were extremely clear about Ling Xi's ice-cold character. Even Dean Tai Cang didn't give her any face, let alone them.
With regards to this, they couldn't say anything, as Ling Xi's strength was there for all to see. Within the entire Hokuang Reiwon, other than the Northern Sea Dragon and Dean Tai Cang, even the five great Heavenly Seated Elders might not be able to match up to her. Therefore, she possessed the ability to transcend the heavens.
After landing on the mountain peak, Mu Chen stealthily walked into the courtyard. Sweeping his gaze around, he saw the girl in a white dress sitting before the bamboo house.
The girl possessed a graceful and slender figure. Under the cover of her white dress, her chest was perked up, while her waist was slender and slender. She had a picturesque appearance, except that her beautiful face was excessively ice-cold. At this moment, one of her white hands was holding onto a simple and unadorned book, while the other was gently twirling her long hair. This scene appeared just like a scene out of a painting, causing Mu Chen to become slightly absent-minded.
Who would have imagined that the number three expert of Hokuang Reiwon would actually be such a beautiful and young girl?
"What?
Are you stunned from looking at me? "
While Mu Chen was slightly absent-minded, a clear and melodious voice rang out from his front, only to see that Ling Xi had already retracted her gaze from the ancient book in her hand. Raising her beautiful face, she sent a faint smile towards Mu Chen. At this moment, the iciness on her face had completely melted away, while an arc curled from the corners of her red lips, giving off a feeling as if a hundred flowers had lost their colour.
Scratching his head, Mu Chen said with a smile, "Elder sis Ling Xi is really becoming more and more beautiful."
"No matter how beautiful she is, can she be more beautiful than your little girlfriend?" Ling Xi teasingly replied.
With a chuckle, Mu Chen walked over and said, "Lord Northern Sea has asked elder sis Ling Xi to guide me in my training."
Ling Xi faintly nodded her head, beckoning towards Mu Chen, asking him to sit by her side. Propping up her cheeks with her jade-like hands, she quietly looked at Mu Chen's handsome face.
Mu Chen felt a little awkward under her gaze, causing his gaze to wander.
With a faint smile, Ling Xi shook her head, extending her ice-cold jade-like hands to caress his face. Over the past three months, Mu Chen had been focused on training, causing stubble to grow on his face, causing much of the youth's immaturity to fade away, replaced by the unswerving determination of a true man.
Being touched by her ice-cold jade-like hands, Mu Chen was slightly startled. In the next instant, his body stiffened, as he saw a sharp little knife appear at the tip of Ling Xi's slender fingers.
"Elder sis Ling Xi!"
However, before he could retreat by reflex, Ling Xi had already approached him. A fragrant wind assaulted his nose, while faint ripples surfaced in her beautiful eyes. As the sharp edge of the knife streaked across, it lightly scraped off the messy stubble on Mu Chen's face.
Hearing this, Mu Chen gawked as he looked at the lovable and beautiful face that was just inches away from him. Looking at the earnest expression present on her face, some emotions gushed out from within his heart. This Ling Xi was truly akin to an elder sister to him.
