Rumbles~!
Rumbles~!
Thunderclouds surrounded the Plain of Solitude.
For anyone else, it was a sign of bad weather.
However, Yu Long didn't think so.
To Yu Long, this bad weather is a chance for him to alleviate his Profound Way. He also planned to use these immense thunderclouds to strengthen Yun Canghai and Yun Che, making them the true Thunderer!
Yu Long was on the Primordial Profound Ark, observing Yun Canghai and Yun Che, who were meditating in the eye of this incoming thunderstorm.
With Yu Long on the Primordial Profound Ark are Chu Yueli, Fu Zhong, Yona, and Xiao Lingxi. Chu Yuechan is also on the ship but is still in her epiphany.
"This will put their willpower to the test." Fu Zhong gazed at the grandpa and grandson pair solemnly.
"If they couldn't pass this trial, they are not worthy of Lord Shadow's approval."
"What does that mean?" Xiao Lingxi frowned slightly.
Chu Yueli smiled and answered, "That means Yun Canghai and Yun Che must show their worth. Young Master Yu Long has shown them more kindness than anyone ever be by creating a new Profound Art."
"Such a thing is like a divine treasure in our organization because Young Master Yu Long didn't create tailor-made Profofound Art for nothing."
"However, if they failed, Young Master Yu Long would take the privilege back and deem you unworthy of his work for life."
Xiao Lingxi and Yona froze on the spot.
They recalled that Yu Long promised to make them a Profound Art.
Doesn't that mean Yu Long would deem them unworthy if they showed no progress?
No, no, no!
It is not a good thing.
Xiao Lingxi clenched her little fist and thought, 'I must train with my heart after Young Master Yu gave me the Profound Art.'
Meanwhile, Yona also made the same vow with a twist, 'I must train with my heart or Master would abandon me. I can't betray his expectations.'
If Yu Long knew what these ladies were thinking, he'd laugh because Chu Yueli has the talent to scare people off. Even though it is hard to make Profound Art, it's up to Yu Long whether he wants to give it or not.
Yu Long wouldn't expect much from other people.
As long as they showed some progress, he's more than satisfied.
In fact, Yu Long has this mindset because not everyone can take the same path because everyone is different.
Yun Canghai and Yun Che trained the Way of Thunderer for two hours, but the former focused more on the strength of thunder while the latter focused more on the swiftness of lightning.
In Yu Long's eyes, their branching is an evolution from choice. Unique to themselves, which could be more sample for him.
Rumble! Kacha!
In the thunderclouds, everyone could see several serpent-like lightning bolts swim in and out, taunting Yun Canghai and Yun Che.
Yu Long smirked and shouted at Yun Canghai, "Elder Canghai, the next step of [The Way of Thunderer] is to tame the thunder and lightning energy in a natural setting!"
"I will control the thunderclouds and charge your body with it."
"You have three hours. Resist the power of thunder and lightning for three hours, and you will become a Thunderer."
"Got it?"
Yun Canghai glanced at Yu Long and nodded, "YES!"
Yun Che also stared at Yu Long, "I'm Ready, Boss!"
Yu Long snapped his finger, and the thunderclouds rumbled even more.
Crack! BOOM!
The sound of thunderclaps echoed in the Plain of Solitude.
A white light descended.
Yun Canghai and Yun Che couldn't react as thunderbolts hit them.
"AARRRGH!" A painful scream escaped Yun Che's mouth.
Yun Canghai wasn't any better, either. He gritted his teeth and let the fierce energy of thunder ransack through his body.
Yu Long kept sending more thunderbolts, making him look more like a torturer than a trainer.
Even then, Yu Long didn't dare to mess up his control over lightning because this kind of power is dangerous with fine control.
Yun Canghai might be a monarch-level expert at the 8th Level of the Sovereign Profound Realm, but he is still mortal before the power of nature.
The Demon King could still die from these thunderbolts.
More so, Yun Che only entered the world of Profound Practitioners recently.
Even though Yun Che was the protagonist, he lost his protagonist halo and couldn't survive from sheer plot armor.
He could have died at any moment if Yu Long hadn't reduced the power behind these thunderbolts.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Xiao Lingxi covered her face in fright, "Xiao Che..."
She couldn't bear to see Yun Che getting hurt.
Crackles~!
Purple sparks are coming from Yun Che's fried body.
He sighed and breathed in, drawing the power of lightning into his weakened vessel.
Yu Long raised his brow and watched a pair of lightning wings grow behind Yun Che's back. Yun Che's body also changed drastically, becoming leaner with sufficient muscle in good spots.
BOOM!
On the other hand, Yun Canghai's clothing exploded and exposed his new muscular physique. Unlike Yun Che, however, Yun Canghai didn't possess lightning wings but two cyan-colored lightning horns on his forehead.
"They really took different paths." Yu Long was satisfied.
"But this is far from over."
"You guys need to absorb more electricity!"
And with that in mind, Yu Long kept torture-! Cough, cough, I mean training Yun Canghai and Yun Che by throwing more lightning bolts at them.
Three hours later, the thunderclouds dispersed because Yu Long had used all the power of nature in them.
All left were a pair of grandpa-grandson, who had become True Thunderers and were ready for their vengeance!
Yun Canghai stared at the falling strands of his gray hair, which now had become dark blue with faint electricity. "This power..."
"I can feel the power of thunder coursing in my veins."
"One punch, and I should be able to flatten a whole mountain."
"HAHAHA~! I, The Demon King, Yun Canghai, have returned!" Yun Canghai laughed excitedly.
He glanced at Yun Che and asked, "How are you, Che'er?"
Yun Che played with his lightning wings, fading and appearing into existence in the air, and smiled, "Felt better than ever, Grandpa."
"I felt nothing could stop me."
"Hehe, we will meet your father and mother soon." Yun Canghai said with a grin. "Then, we will show those who bullied our family with this newfound power."
"Mm!" Yun Che nodded in agreement.
Yu Long floated toward them and commented, "As much as I wanted to watch that happening, your current bodies aren't viable to fight."
"You guys are tired and lose too much vitality from enduring the lightning bolts."
"For now, take these pills and rest." Yu Long threw a vial of pills to Yun Canghai. "Recover your health. After that, we can talk more about the Way of Thunderer."
"Okay." Yun Canghai replied calmly. He couldn't show how thankful he was to Yu Long.
To be honest, Yun Canghai felt he was indebted to Yu Long.
"BOSS, YOU'RE THE BEST!" Yun Che gave Yu Long a thumbs up.
"..." Yun Canghai.
This grandson of his really doesn't know how to play cool.
"We will rest, then." Yun Canghai grabbed Yun Che by the collar and returned to the Earthly Dragon Enclave.
Yu Long shook his head helplessly, "What a tsundere."
"However, he helped me in improving the [Art of Thunder and Lightning]."
Yun Canghai and Yun Che don't know that [The Way of Thunderer] is a safer version of the [Art of Thunder and Lightning] that Yu Long developed for himself.
"Well, let's continue to the next problem now..."
"We have some guests."
A loud noise came from three directions. It was the sound of something massive charging at the Plain of Solitude.
Yu Long calmly placed his hands behind the back and watched three massive beasts coming. Behind them are ten, if not a hundred thousand, of profound beasts following.
Fu Zhong approached Yu Long and said, "Lord Shadow, these strong profound beasts are the Heavenly Kings I mentioned before."
"They must be coming here because of the commotion we made."
Yu Long rubbed his chin in amusement, "Let's see..."
"A little bird, a little snake, and a little turtle."
After Yu Long says that, three massive giants overshadow the Plain of Solitude.
"Human, hand over the Heaven and Earth Treasures!"
"OR THERE WOULD BE CONSEQUENCES!"
Yu Long chuckled, "Awww, How adorable..."
