81 Chapter 81: Thundercloud Monarch Ar (1/2)
As the gigantic Rising Lighting was soaring, the Noble Test Center was also resonating with the Rising Lightning as it emitted soundwaves which echoed throughout the city. When the Rising Lightning reached the sky, Thundercloud formed and spiralled into a giant vortex directly parallel to the Noble Test Center!
”The Grand Rising Lightning!! A legendary Rising Lightning that could only be produced by someone who has achieved a score of higher than 95!” Gayolei said in utter astonishment
”This soundwaves are Spirit Resonances! But Spirit Resonances could only come from Heaven Rank Treasures and Artifacts! Could it be the extremely valuable treasure that was left behind by the Thundercloud Kings were not the Noble Test Maker but the entire Noble Test Center?!” The First Elder of the Alchemy Academy was becoming increasingly shocked as his deduced such thoughts.
”The thunderclouds and lightning vortex in the sky resembles the records regarding the ancient art of the Thundercloud Kings! The Mid Heaven Rank Technique, the Thundercloud Monarch Art!” Charlton Meadows said with a dumbfounded expression. He had vast knowledge regarding the history of the city due to the amazing resources of his clan that allowed him to gain access to ancient records about the Thundercloud Kings.
Suddenly, near the vortex, the thunder and lightning resonated and concentrated to four points, coalescing into four identical humanoid figures. After the formation of the four figures, more lightning, clouds and thunders started to agglomerate towards the four humanoids. Not long after, armors and weapons started to surface from the bodies of the four figures.
The four figures started to have distinctions from one another and appeared more corporeal than before. They wore different armors and used different weapons. The figure in the north had a falcon-based armor and a saber that was shaped like wings of a falcon. The figure in the south wore a cheetah-looking armor with claws as his weapons. In the east, the figure had an armor and a lance with the scales and designs of a sailfishwhile in the west, the figure had an armor than was seemingly made from tiger beetles with its horns as his weapons.
They stood below the vortex majestically and raised their weapons as though they were celebrating a reunion and greeting each other. The four figures then looked down at the test center like lightning sovereigns of the high heavens.
”What's happening?!”
”What are those? Are those figures even humans?”
”No, it's the four Thundercloud Kings! Look at the north, that's Lightning Falcon King, the strongest of the four! At the east, that's Electric Sailfish King while at the West, that's Tigerspark Beetle King! Lastly, the fastest among them, Thunderbolt Cheetah King!” A wise old man clarified.
”Those are the Four Thundercloud Kings?! How could they still emerge if they were known to be dead 5,000 years ago?!” A commoner said.
”I don't know either.” The one closest to him was trembling as he uttered those words.
The crowd was trembling from fright due to the shocking mysterious phenomenon that was currently unfolding right before their eyes but it did not only end there. Another mysterious phenomenon was also unfolding in junction with the appearance of the four figures in the sky.
The natural energy and spirit energy that were quietly flowing within and around the vicinity of the city were being absorbed into the Noble Test Center! It started to move in a spiralling fashion after moving twords the square outside the Noble Test Center. The natural and spirit energy's movement were similar to a vast whirlpool! The concentration reached the extent where it could be seen in the naked eye!
...
The commoners were panicking and acting hysterically due to being oblivious of what was currently happening in the city. Having no knowledge of this mysterious phenomenon, these resulted to different speculations that only worsened the situation of the commoners.
”Does the heaven want to end us already?” An old man slowly said with a terrified face. He could not fathom what was currently happening in the city.
”A...a.... Is it the end of the world?” A child cried out in despair.
”Don't worry, my boy. Someone will save us.
....
At the Thunder Grand Clan Residence...
Inside the dazzlingly extravagant and humungous manor, within the main hall, Zachary Thunder was seating on the Patriarch Seat of the Clan. He was wearing a royal robe adorned with dancing lightning serpents that accentuated the Thunder Clan crest. He was sitting calmly when the two phenomena occurred!
”Ha... How is this possible?! Grand Rising Lightning?! Heavenly Blessing?! Does this mean someone is currently creating a Heaven Rank Technique and also achieved a perfect score?!” The Thunder Clan Patriarch Zachary widened his eyes that were focused to the Noble Test Center.
”What the heck is happening in the Noble Test Center?!” Zachary suspiciously thought.
”Servants, attend to me! I want you to prepare a carriage right now! I want to go to the Noble Test Center!” Zachary commanded with a wave of his sleeves.
”Yes, my lord.” The attendants was then able to easily bring a carriage and left with Zachary Thunder.
....
At the Premier Hall...
”What the hell is happening?! The emergence of a Grand Rising Lightning and the occurrence of a Heavenly Blessing?! Even incarnations of the Thundercloud Kings?! What type of monstrosity of a genius is appearing in this city?!” Hallmaster Azelmek could not contain his shock and curse the heavens for granting a genius a talent that would be able to cause a world-shaking commotion!
”Yes, sir! It's coming from the Noble Test Center. Do you want to go sir? We have already prepared a ride just in case you want to go.” Sheldon reported elaborately.
”Of course! Ready the vehicle! We're going now!” Azelmek hurriedly commanded.
”Yes, sir!!” Sheldon replied in compliance.
....
Similar scenes played out from different powers like the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, Alchemy Academy, Moonlight Paradise, Pill Hall, Enchanted Gardens, and many more. All of the head-level figures of every single one of these powers converged to the Noble Test Center. Even the departedpowers like the Fleeting Wood Residence could not help but leave behind a high-level individual like the Head Butler of the residence.
In less than minutes, the countless powers moved in and arrived at the Noble Test Center. The moment they arrived was the moment where the four Thundercloud Kings pointed down their weapons to a central point and the lightning and thunder vortex ejected an extremely devastating lightning that slithered like a dragon.
The moment where the lighting dragon intersected with the central point of the weapons was also the moment where it transformed into a large circular diagram that was essentially made up of lightning and thunder!
It was also at this very moment that the whirlpool of energy below disappeared, no, rather it was absorbed into a single point where it invited a similar diagram of lightning and thunder. The two diagrams where strangely the same, however, there was a fundamental difference on how it was perceived and formulated than the diagram below the incarnations of the four Thundercloud Kings!
