An Zhan and Chen Shaobai stared blankly at the split skin on their bodies, then looked at each other.

One of them was a monster from birth, while the other was a freak after his rebirth. However, they were both scared out of their wits by this scene.

“”Is he going to die?””

Chen Shaobai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and cracked a joke while enduring the intense pain.

“”Although it hurts a lot, it does feel like there are some changes.””

At this moment, Qi Tian sauntered back from afar, “”The change is so slow. If the two of you were to die of embarrassment, would you still have the face to sit here and chat?””

Even ants are no match for you two in terms of speed of evolution.

Rolling in the sand outside, how long would he have to wait for the skin to fall off!

Do you have the time to waste?!

Chen Shaobai wanted to curse, but An Zhe pulled him back.

The two of them walked into the desert beside the lightning pool. Not to mention rolling around inside, just thinking about it made their bodies hurt even more.

One could imagine the pain of having to roll in sand while the skin on one’s body was cracking.

He gritted his teeth and jumped into the sand.

As soon as his feet touched the sand, he cried out in pain.

Chen Shaobai originally wanted to jump, but when he saw the pain from An Zaiyue’s attack, his face warped. He stood there hesitating.

“”Go!””

Qi Tian flew over and kicked Chen Shaobai on his back. Chen Shaobai pounced forward. The instant his body touched the sand, the skin in front of him was grinded away.

A layer of goose bumps appeared on the back of the pink new meat as it came into contact with the sand.

Chen Shaobai got up and wanted to run back, but Qi Tian kicked him back, “”Don’t say that I tortured you. If your father knew, he would thank me instead.””

Chen Shaobai: “”F * cking bullsh * t. You’re taking revenge.””

Qi Tian gave a cold snort and said, “”If I want to take revenge on your father, of course I’ll just go find him and not his son.””

“”If you really feel that you can’t take the effort, you can scram on your own.””

Chen Shaobai turned around to look, but An Zeng was still rolling in the sand, gritting his teeth.

In just a short moment, all the dead skin on his body was grinded away.

But blood was everywhere under the friction of new flesh and sand.

“”It’s about time.””

Qi Tian pointed at the lightning pool behind her. “”Go in and carry them!””

Chen Shaobai: “”You damn pervert!””

Qi Tian: “”Cultivation does not depend on you, you can not go.””

An Zhan silently pulled Chen Shaobai forward and entered the lightning pool once again.

He didn’t know if it was really due to Qi Tian’s deliberate adjustment of the lightning pool’s strength, but this time it was even more cruel than the last time.

Previously, the electric current could still bounce a person up, but this time, it didn’t move.

Even An Zeng and Chen Shaobai couldn’t get up at all. They were stuck at the bottom of the lightning lake and didn’t move at all.

The intense electric currents seemed to cover the two of them like snakes. Their bodies could not hold on for more than a few seconds before they were electrocuted once again.

The electric current first drilled in from the outside, then from the inside.

After persevering for a while, An Zhe was shocked to the point of fainting.

However, under the immense pain, he woke up quickly.

An Zeng was the head of the Great Xi’s Bright Law Department. He knew many different kinds of punishment, and he could use at least 50 kinds of punishment that made people wish they were dead.

But now, An Zhe felt that those punishments could not even compare to entering this lightning pool to temper his body.

He didn’t know why, but the struggle for peace gradually turned calm after it became unbearable at first.

He actually thought of how when he was young, when he was just beginning to cultivate, the old man who taught him how to live in seclusion in the mountain village had once said … that cultivation was not about enjoyment, but suffering.

An Zaixin’s heart gradually calmed down.

It had been too long. Ever since he had entered Fang Shoucheng, he had not been in the mood to cultivate in peace.

At this moment, this almost unbearable torment brought back the primal intention to pursue cultivation.

If one’s heart wasn’t at peace, they wouldn’t be able to become stronger even in a heaven-defying environment.

Only when one’s heart was calm and had found the initial state of mind would one be able to return to the starting point of cultivation.

Gradually, An Zhe seemed to be unable to feel the pain coming from his body.

He began to feel the electricity, passing through his body, the texture of every muscle, without a single tiny blood vessel.

He could feel the change in his physical body as the electric current passed through him.

“”That’s not right.””

An Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the struggling Chen Shaobai. “”We were wrong!””

Chen Shaobai asked, “”What’s wrong?””

An Xuan said, “”We always thought that the power of lightning was destroying our bodies, but that’s not right … It’s not that we are being changed, it’s that we are changing.””

Although the power of thunder and lightning might seem a bit more destructive when it first tempered our bodies, our bodies are still adapting to the power of thunder and lightning.

“”Through comprehending it, we’ll take the initiative to see how we can prevent this thunder energy from harming us.””

Chen Shaobai was stunned. “”Isn’t it the same thing?””

“”Just think about it.””

After saying that, he closed his eyes again, feeling the slight change in his body as the electric current passed through it.

He could not fully observe how the blood vessels were expanding and how the muscles were expanding, so he could only concentrate on perceiving a certain point.

Gradually, as his heart grew calmer, the feeling became clearer.

A few minutes later, An Zeng abruptly opened his eyes and roared towards the sky, “”Again!””

Following his response, a burst of air appeared around his body.

The moment the air exploded, the electric currents around them seemed to be angry at someone for daring to resist them. A ball of churning electric currents bombarded over. It was like a thunderstorm.

However, just as the thunderstorm formed, the explosion sent all of the incoming lightning bolts flying away.

With An Zeng as the center, the explosion of Qi set off a huge wave.

The violent air currents were pushed outwards in a standard circular shape, and the power of thunder and lightning that gathered over was actually forced away.

Within ten meters of the center, the lightning pool had been emptied out. Not a sliver of the power of thunder and lightning remained.

When Qi Tian, who was standing far away, saw this scene, his expression changed, and he subconsciously looked at An Zhe a few more times.

He could tell that An Zaihai’s innate talent and physique were far inferior to Chen Shaobai’s.

However, he didn’t expect that the first to gain enlightenment would be the competition.

What he didn’t expect was that An Zhe would not only gain enlightenment, he would also take the initiative to use the power of lightning to change his body.

This wasn’t because An Zhe’s cultivation level had increased, it was because he was challenging the power of thunder and lightning.

“”Interesting.””

Qi Tian hugged her shoulders as she looked at An Zeng, “”I’d like to see how much gravity you can endure.””

As An Zaiyue’s Qi Explosion forced the power of thunder and lightning away, the electric pond underwent a change once more.

Moments later, clouds appeared above the lightning pool. Although it was not thick, this was sufficient to show that the lightning pool was infuriated by An Zhe.

The power of thunder and lightning became violent, rolling around like pythons.

A moment later, the electric snake began to attack the Anjou. “”Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!””

At first, the electric snakes were only as thick as an arm, but in the end, the huge electric current was over a foot thick.

An Zeng stood there, his eyes wide open as he watched the electric current roll towards him.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAA!

An Zeng’s body seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and fission appeared on his skin once again.

The electric currents of his flesh were almost charred, and his skin began to peel off.

“”Too slow!””

An Zeng shouted, and his arms shot out.

Another explosion of air appeared on his body, sending his burnt skin flying.

“”Two gravity, like a blade.””

Qi Tian muttered in the distance.

Just as he finished speaking, there was a change in the lightning pool.

All the thunder and lightning energy stopped, and the electric current formed a ring of weapons around An Zeng. The electric current formed a long sword that was pointed at An Zhe, as if countless experts were waiting to kill him.

“”Come on!””

An Zhan roared, and his eyes turned red.

The lightning pool seemed to be thoroughly enraged, and the conflict over authority provoked it.

Countless electric swords pierced towards An Zaihai. The speed and ferocity of the electric current was even greater than that of a true cultivator.

With a pu sound, an electric sword pierced through An Zeng’s body. The sword pierced through An Zeng’s chest and through his back.

The moment the electric current pierced through An Zhe, it began to invade his body. An Zeng’s hair was instantly washed away, and the top of his head was bald. He looked especially terrifying.

An electric sword was inserted into his body, and the electric current was released from the sword, wrapping around An Zeng’s body.

“”That’s it?””

“”Your influence on me is not as great as mine!”” An Xuan snorted coldly.

As his voice fell, the electric sword actually disappeared.

It wasn’t that the lightning pool retracted its electric current, but rather, it was that the current was sucked into his body by An Zhe.

Not only had he withstood the thunder and lightning energy of the thunder lake, he had also increased the level of his own trials!

The rate of change of An Zhe’s body also increased, the rate of blood vessels and muscles contracting became faster and faster.

The initial pain was that the current was stronger than his muscles’ ability to withstand and dissipate the current.

Now, An Zhe’s body reacted faster than the current. His muscles were actually contracting and absorbing the power of the current!

Qi Tian’s expression changed, “”He … he really is a freaking weirdo.””

A muffled sound of thunder emerged from the lightning pool, as if the lightning pool was releasing its anger.

A moment later, the clouds above the lightning pool grew thicker and thicker.

Then, a huge lightning bolt came down from the sky and directly hit the top of An Zeng’s head.

Qi Tian’s eyes widened. “”How is this possible?””

“”The lightning pool actually adjusted the force to 4 gravity!””

Without three gravity, he directly increased his strength to the fourth stage.

Even though Qi Tian knew that this lightning pool was only an imitation, the power of the lightning pool was hard to imagine.

An Zaiyue took the initiative to provoke the lightning pool, infuriating it. He was afraid that the result would be extremely dangerous.

Just as Qi Tian was about to charge over to close the lightning pool, he was still too slow.

Lightning Pool Four Gravity, Wave Discharge!

The tornado formed by the electric currents descended from the sky, making An Zeng unable to move even a single inch in the lightning pool.

The electric currents in the surroundings formed a huge wave, and started to beat on An Zhe’s body again and again.

“”Haha … I can’t lose to you!””

Not far away, Chen Shaobai struggled to stand up. He took a deep breath and said, “”You are just an idiot fighting for peace. I am a peerless genius. If you stole my limelight, that won’t do.””

He looked up. “”Come here!””

With a loud shout, the tornado of lightning in the sky split into two, and one of them landed heavily on his body.

The huge wave formed by the lightning lake split into two sides, bombarding the two endlessly.

“”Not good!””

Qi Tian rushed towards the handle, “”If this goes on, if the Lightning Pond increases its might, both of them will be turned into ashes.””

But at this time, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared!

A huge shadow suddenly appeared behind An Zhe’s back, like a war god standing on a golden dragon. The battle armor on his body looked awe-inspiring and domineering.

Behind Chen Shaobai, a black Giant Demon appeared. His left hand was holding a huge sickle-like thing while his right hand was holding a black umbrella.

No matter how fierce the lightning was, it could not advance an inch!

“”Break for me!””

An Zhan and Chen Shaobai shouted at the same time. Then, the Giant Demon and War God rushed forward at the same time!

The power of lightning that was like a giant wave was actually shattered. The lightning pool trembled for a moment before retreating. He was afraid!”
