Ch 53 – In The Nick Of Time

“What’s wrong? You’re not interested?” Shangguan Xi Hong thought this was strange. If this gift was given to someone else, their reaction would probably be jumping out of their seat or at least cheering out in joy, but Lei Yu looked very calm and did not have a face that showed any particular excitement.

“Interested! Of course I’m interested!” Lei Yu realized his face was a bit too stiff, hurriedly grabbing the box, he said: “It’s just that I was momentarily struck dumb, the happiness hasn’t registered yet, thank you uncle Shangguan!” Pretending to have a pleased face, Lei Yu gently opened the box and a blue egg sized bead with a transparent body appeared in front of his eyes. Looking at it gave one a different kind of feeling of beauty, and one was able to feel up close that this bead was able to do what Shangguan Xi Hong had mentioned. Apart from being able to clean out impurities, the current surrounding air had already become cleaner due to the effect of the exposed bead.

Lei Yu’s current expression was what Shangguan Xi Hong wanted to see, and was his purpose only to reward Lei Yu? Nope, it was never this simple. That day of Lei Yu’s duel against Cai Zhong, at the most critical moment, even though both of them were covered in a black smoke, how could this super strong master not see? It was obvious that inside Lei Yu, there was an uncontrollable force. Once that force explodes forth, it’s definitely not something many people could handle.

If such a good seedling did not stay in Martial Sect and was stolen by others, then it would be such a big loss to them. So, Shangguan Xi Hong came up with this show of generosity, but unfortunately he miscalculated. Lei Yu’s face showed many thanks and appreciation, but in fact, this object to him was just a surplus item. Just one of the effects of his Spiritual Bead of Longevity’s efficacy was much stronger than this Spiritual Energy Bead. But since he received this, regardless of giving it to Nuo Hu or his disciple Liu Hao, it’s still a good thing that has happened to him.

“Let’s not waste anymore time with chatting; we are ready for the competition!” Hiding his envious stares, Nuo Yi Long said this to Lei Yu.

“Okay!” The two walked towards the railing where Nuo Hu and Liu Hao were. Nuo Yi Long stomped his foot and leapt off the three-storey building onto the ground of the training field, then slowly moved towards the center.

“Big brother, can you hold onto this for me?” Lei Yu gave the box containing the Spiritual Energy Bead to Nuo Hu. Nuo Hu could not help feel a bit surprised, such a rare treasure and Lei Yu just casually shoved it in his hands? Wasn’t he a bit too trusting with this sworn brother? This action moved Nuo Hu greatly, at least in Nuo Hu’s heart; Lei Yu gave him his absolute trust.

With a gentle leap, Lei Yu also jumped down to the ground.

The two stood in the middle of the training field and began to form their own fighting stance.

Nuo Yi Long’s internal energy was already fluctuating out of his body, giving off a strong pressure that even distorted the air in the surrounding atmosphere. If this incredibly strong power exploded forth outwards, there was no doubt that it could easily destroy a building.

Facing against such an opponent, Lei Yu could not afford to be careless. Inside his body, the surging purple internal energy with threads of lightning shimmering within it was circulated throughout his entire body. This time, Lei Yu was going to demonstrate his new ability.

According to the explanations of his cultivating methods, after reaching the [Discharge] stage, his attack not only had the effect of lightning within it, but he was also able to discharge lightning in order to extend the reach of his attacks to a certain point.

And this force was more powerful compared to before, and can be easily seen by simply looking at the lightning contained within this newly formed internal energy.

The competition was about to start. Everyone was holding their breath, their eyes staring unblinkingly at the two, fearing they’d miss something if they looked away.
