Rumble!
The black sea of lightning endlessly surged and churned, while claps of thunder resounded across the entire place, causing even the surrounding space to hum and vibrate.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, the black sea of lighting split apart as a figure radiating with lighting light shot out, before coming to a hover above the sea of lightning. Gigantic bolts of Divine Black Lightning howled out, descending on the figure. Countless rays of lightning light shot out, yet the figure just stretches his hands out, appearing in an extremely intoxicated state.
After promoting his Lightning God Physique to Quadra Rune Lightning Physique, Mu Chen’s resistance to the Divine Black Lightning was much stronger than before. No longer would he be struck into a considerably miserable state. In fact, when the rampant energies of the Divine Black Lighting had entered his body, they only brought about a slightly numb feeling, an extremely comfortable sensation.
Hu.
Lowering his hands, Mu Chen exhaled a clump of white mist, within which even sparkled with lightning light. A smile brimming with excitement was present on his face. Indeed, this Quadra Rune Lighting Physique is much, much more tyrannical than the Diplo Rune Lightning Physique.
Raising his head, he looked towards the Northern Sea Dragon in the distance, before shooting over with a move of his body.
Sweeping his gaze across Mu Chen’s body, a satisfied smile appeared on the face of the Northern Sea Dragon. Raising one’s Lightning God Physique from Diplo Rune to Quadra Rune in the span of three months. This was already a rather good speed of improvement.
“Thanks Senior Northern Sea.” Mu Chen spoke out respectfully as he cupped his hands. He knew that the Northern Sea Dragon’s help was essential for him to be able to have such an improvement. If not, he would need at least one more fold of time to be able to obtain similar results.
Waving his hands, the Northern Sea Dragon replied, “Since you’re participating in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament for our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, I’ll naturally help a bit to avoid losing face.”
Speaking till here, he paused for a moment,shooting a look at Mu Chen, before continuing. “However, for the past three months, I can only help you promote your Lighting God’s Physique to this level. It doesn’t provide too much of a promotion to your Spiritual Energy cultivation.”
Hearing that, Mu Chen nodded his head. During the last three months, he had primarily trained and cultivated his Lighting God’s Physique. Although his Spiritual Energy had also increased, it wasn’t at the astonishing rate of improvement as his Lighting God’s Physique. Nevertheless, he was already extremely satisfied. After all, within the short span of three months, it was impossible for him to drastically improve in both aspects. He had to choose one of them to focus on.
“There’s still three more months till the half-year mark. For the next three months, I’ll do my utmost to train and cultivate my Spiritual Energy and raise my cultivation level,” replied Mu Chen with a smile.
Hearing that, the Northern Sea Dragon nodded his head and said, “Okay. However, for the next three months, I’ll not be guiding you anymore. You’ll be changing places. For the next three months, you’re belong to someone else.”
“Someone else?” Mu Chen gawked.
“Your final three months will be guided by Elder Ling Xi. It’ll be fine if you follow along with her. She said that if you follow her, she’ll let your strength rise by leaps and bounds for the next three months.”
With a mischievous laugh, the Northern Sea Dragon sent a grin toward Mu Chen while saying, “Training under her is always better than following this uninteresting old man, right? She’s such a beautiful lady, and has an extremely good relationship with you. You have to seize this opportunity, okay? This is the very first time I’ve seen Ling Xi care so much about a male. Even in front of us, she always appeared cold and icy.”
Hearing that, embarrassment filled Mu Chen’s face. What kind of words are these…?
“Okay. Time for you to go. I’ve to close up for a while.”
The Northern Sea Dragon placed his hands behind his back, while rays of brilliance seemed to circulate across his ancient face. At this moment, the incisiveness of his gaze was so sharp, it appeared to be able to pierce through space, giving people an indescribable feeling of tyranny.
Seeing this, a faint tremble shook through Mu Chen’s heart as he probed. “Senior Northern Sea, are you going to break through?”
Clearly feeling extremely good, the Northern Sea Dragon grinned as he nodded his head. With a sigh, he replied, “I’ve already been stagnated in this realm for so many years. It’s all thanks to you by helping me obtain that Lightning God’s Pill. After preparing for half a year, it’s time for me to try breaking through…”
Hearing that, Mu Chen smacked his lips. If the Northern Sea Dragon was to succeed in his breakthrough, he would become a genuine Earth Sovereign. Placed within the entire Great Thousand World, he would be considered a Regional Overlord. After all, even a power as strong as the Luo God Clan, their strongest expert, which was Luo Li’s grandfather, Luo Tianshen, was only an Earth Sovereign. Being able to protect the Luo God Clan under the covetous glares coming from the other three Great God Clans, this showed exactly how powerful a person of this realm of strength possessed.
Although it was a only a fine distinction between a Ninth Grade Sovereign and an Earth Sovereign, the difference in strength was as different as sky and earth. If the Northern Sea Dragon possessed the strength of an Earth Sovereign in the past, even if one were to give the Demonic Dragon Palace the courage, they wouldn’t dare to provoke the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Even to so-called ‘Immeasurable Old Ancestor’, wouldn’t dare to step foot into this Northern Heavens Continent.
“Then I’ll first congrat Senior Northern Sea on your breakthrough here,” said Mu Chen respectfully as he cupped his hands towards the Northern Sea Dragon.
With a smile, the Northern Sea Dragon nodded his head. With a wave of his sleeve, space started to warp and distort, before a pathway to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was torn open.
Seeing this, Mu Chen didn’t hesitate anymore. Turning his body, he strode into the warped space. As the space chaotically fluctuated, his body completely disappeared within it.
Seeing that Mu Chen had disappeared, the face of the Northern Sea Dragon gradually grew solemn. With a clench of his hand, a smooth, round Lightning Pill appeared within. This pill possessed a jet-black splendor, with lightning covering its entirety, appearing as if it was developing into a lightning world, causing it to appear immeasurably mysterious.
