Mang Tian Chi patted Xiao Ming's shoulder and said, "Since you're a student of Jia Nan Academy, there's no need to mention our relationship. That guy Su Qian keeps sending me messages, asking me to take good care of you when I meet you. But now it seems like you're the one who's taking care of me."
At this point, Mang Tian Chi looked at the black lightning pool and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, that's right! You've finished your cultivation. Can you do this old man a favor before you go?"
"..."
Xiao Ming was speechless. When seniors met juniors, they usually gave gifts or offered cultivation advice. But here, why was he, the junior, being asked to help the senior?
Ah, he was a peak three-star Dou Saint, while Mang Tian Chi was only a peak Dou Venerate. The gap was too big...
Well, in that case, it was fine.
"Headmaster, are you planning to capture those Black Demon Lightning?" Xiao Ming also glanced at the sea of black lightning, which had become much sparser compared to a month ago.
"That's right, my Lei Clan has a secret technique that can absorb lightning energy. With the Black Demon Lightning here, I should be able to break through to the Half-Saint realm," Mang Tian Chi said frankly.
"Are you sure? The Black Demon Lightning here is different from the ordinary ones. Their power is much stronger, and some even possess a certain intelligence. They're not easy to absorb."
"No problem!"
"Alright then."
Seeing Mang Tian Chi's determined expression, Xiao Ming decided not to dwell on it. After all, Mang Tian Chi was much older and had traveled far and wide, so he should have more experience. He probably wouldn't play around with his own life.
Given the circumstances, Xiao Ming was willing to help with this small favor. In the end, it was just a matter of waving his hand.
"How many Black Demon Lightning do you need?"
"Help me capture ten of them. The efficiency of this technique is a bit low. If possible, a few more would be great."
Xiao Ming nodded and then waved his hand, causing waves of spatial fluctuations.
Boom!
A dozen or so enormous black thunderbolts, chilling to the bone, flickered and appeared in front of them!
'What the hell!'
This sudden scene caused Mang Tian Chi to unconsciously take three steps back.
After that, he saw Xiao Ming effortlessly compress the thunderbolts with a destructive aura into a lightning bead.
Mang Tian Chi's eyes lit up as he rubbed his hands together before approaching again.
"Hehehe, thank you, Xiao Ming."
"No need to thank me." Xiao Ming tossed the compressed lightning bead to Mang Tian Chi. He was considering compressing a few more; these lightning beads were formed using a special technique.
With his current strength, such a thing was quite effortless.
Throwing out these lightning beads, even a Half-Saint wouldn't be able to resist. Moreover, whether as gifts or rewards for juniors, these items were valuable. It wouldn't hurt to have a few more on hand.
Deciding to act on this thought, Xiao Ming ignored the gleeful Mang Tian Chi at his side and began to compress the space of the nearby lightning pool.
As the lightning snakes danced, one by one the lightning beads condensed around him.
Boom!
Inside the lightning pool, the thunderbolts erupted in a frenzy. Countless lightning bolts scattered and burst out in all directions. Whether it was the ordinary peripheral lightning or the deep Black Demon Lightning, they all became ferocious in an instant.
The thunderbolts spun chaotically with no pattern, and even Xiao Ming couldn't avoid them. Numerous thunderbolts struck him. Fortunately, despite his delicate appearance, he had tough skin.
But Mang Tian Chi next to him was not so resilient.
"Huu~"
Mang Tian Chi's deep blue robe was tattered, his long hair stood on end, and his face was completely blackened, looking rather disheveled as he exhaled a puff of white smoke.
"No way! What's wrong with this lightning pool? Why has it suddenly erupted so violently?" Mang Tian Chi grumbled.
Xiao Ming, on the other hand, stopped drawing thunderbolts and collected the dozen or so lightning beads. Then he looked into the depths of the lightning pool.
In his line of sight, in the depths where the Black Demon Lightning was, a faint glimmer of gold appeared. A colossal dragon-like figure, thousands of meters long, with a body that seemed to be made of gold, undulated in the dim light. This dragon was the source of the eruption.
The densely packed Black Demon Lightning, each thirty meters long, bowed down wherever the lightning dragon went. It was as if a king had appeared among the thunderbolts, and the Black Demon Lightning had become vassals, submitting to their ruler.
'This is... the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning! How did this thing get provoked? It's comparable to a seven-star Dou Saint...'
Seeing the lightning dragon, Xiao Ming's expression changed slightly. If it was a six-star Dou Saint, he might have a chance to face it with all his might, but a seven-star Dou Saint was beyond his consideration.
A seven-star Dou Saint was already a high-star Dou Saint, far beyond a six-star Dou Saint.
This was the terrifying Pill Lightning that was produced by refining high-tier pills such as the Ninth-Tier Golden Pill. Even an ordinary Dou Saint would be reduced to ashes in front of it.
If the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning were ranked as a Heavenly Flame on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, it would be on par with the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame or even the Nihility Devouring Flame.
As for Xiao Ming, who hadn't even obtained the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, he didn't dare to face such a terrifying entity right now. He turned around and fled without thinking!
After only a few steps, Xiao Ming remembered that the Headmaster was still standing next to him. He quickly reached out and grabbed Mang Tian Chi, lifting him by his robe.
Then his entire body turned into a streak of light that flew outwards.
In the far distance behind them, within the faintly visible dragon-like figure, its pair of dragon eyes were empty. His body was covered in intricate golden lightning, each bolt possessing a power that could be described as earth-shattering.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the lightning dragon let out a sky-shaking roar. Immediately, the thunderous commotion intensified. Numerous huge Black Demon Lightning, each capable of spanning hundreds of meters, quickly followed. They resembled an elite army surrounding the lightning dragon.
"Are you kidding me? How can there be such a thing here!"
Sensing the almost suffocating aura of the golden lightning dragon, Mang Tian Chi didn't care how undignified he looked being carried by Xiao Ming. He hastily shouted.
"Move fast! Faster!"
Ignoring the roar of the lightning dragon behind him, Xiao Ming concentrated only on rushing forward. A huge stream of Dou Qi surged through his body and burst out, tearing directly through the space.
In an instant, Xiao Ming's speed increased and the silver-white lightning on either side quickly flashed past Mang Tian Chi. It was evident how fast Xiao Ming was moving.
Soon, the two of them had dashed beyond the range of the Void Lightning Pool.
After leaving the lightning pool, Xiao Ming paused briefly and took a deep breath. Then he let go of the person he was holding.
As his feet touched the ground, Mang Tian Chi's face still held a trace of lingering fear. It was hard to fathom that such creatures lurked within the lightning pool. If Xiao Ming hadn't been there, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, the sound of rushing wind approached from the distance. A clear voice sounded from afar, "Xiao Ming, are you all right?"
"Huh? It's actually someone from the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe?"
Seeing the approaching figure, Mang Tian Chi, who had snapped out of his fear, was slightly taken aback. He then looked at Xiao Ming in astonishment.
It was quite strange for a human like Xiao Ming to have some sort of connection with the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe. That tribe was just as proud as the Ancient Clans and even more exclusive. It wasn't easy to establish a relationship with them.
Mang Tian Chi patted Xiao Ming's shoulder and said, "Since you're a student of Jia Nan Academy, there's no need to mention our relationship. That guy Su Qian keeps sending me messages, asking me to take good care of you when I meet you. But now it seems like you're the one who's taking care of me."
