Before Xiang Shaoyun could leave, a violent wave of lightning surged out of the Purple Lightning Pool. Startled, he madly dashed away. However, this wave did not seem as scary as the previous eruption, and it seemed much weaker in comparison.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, ”Boss, it's me!”

Xiang Shaoyun turned back and saw a ma.s.sive coiled lightning snake hovering in the air. It was none other than Money.

Money's body had turned even longer than before, his silver scales were now mixed with purple, and his ma.s.sive head looked even scarier than before. His single horn was also more conspicuous, with lightning constantly swirling around it. Apart from that, his physical appearance had changed slightly. Two limbs had grown from his belly, making him look rather peculiar.

Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed in shock, ”Money, are you transforming into a dragon?”

In his memories, only those who had transformed into a dragon would possess draconic limbs. A regular snake or jiao wouldn't have them. Money withdrew his aura, causing the lightning around him to weaken as he replied, ”I am a draconic snake. With the growth of my strength, my dragon blood has awakened, causing this change in appearance. Boss, don't I look mighty and formidable right now?”

As he said that, he started waving his limbs around, showing off cheerily.

”Haha, yes, yes, formidable indeed,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a happy laugh.

He had been worried that something bad had happened to Money. Now that Money was fine, his mood improved. That was especially so when he learned that Money had grown in strength. It seemed like he had benefited greatly from coming here.

”Boss, I have a gift for you,” said Money as he spat something out of his mouth.

The moment that item appeared, it gave rise to a purple aura that caused the ambient lightning energy in their surroundings to increase in purity. Studying the item in his hand, Xiang Shaoyun's pupils constricted.

”T-this is a legendary saint lightning crystal!” Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed in alarm. The moment he said that, numerous powerful auras erupted and started heading toward him.

”s.h.i.+t!” Xiang Shaoyun cursed when he realized what was happening. He quickly stored the crystal in his astral cosmos sea.

”Where is the saint lightning crystal?” asked a person who had just arrived.

”I don't know what you're talking about,” Xiang Shaoyun acted dumb. He was confident in himself, but he still preferred not to attract too much trouble.

”Hmph. I clearly sensed an undulation of lightning energy with high purity here earlier, and you even screamed 'saint lightning crystal'. Stop lying.” The person then threatened, ”Hand over the saint lightning crystal or—”

Xiang Shaoyun attacked before the person could finish.

Pa! Pa!

Xiang Shaoyun landed two heavy slaps on the person's face, leaving two clear marks on both sides of his face.

”Say that again if you have the guts,” said Xiang Shaoyun imposingly. He had thought that the little fame he had gained in the academy would serve as some kind of deterrence, but there were still so many people willing to provoke him.

The person couldn't even see how Xiang Shaoyun had attacked. The burning pain on his face gave him a realization that he had probably challenged someone he was not a match for.
