4: Chapter 4 Jade Heavenly Dragon

Half an hour later, Lin Feng exhaled a puff of black Qi and slowly stopped Cultivating.

"How is it? How do you feel?" Nan Shuishui was the first to speak, asking impatiently.

"Very good. I feel that my Physical Body strength has increased a little. I can continue." Lin Feng nodded with a faint smile.

The effect of the recent Cultivation was excellent; the Power of Thunder flowed through his Meridians very naturally.

Not only that, but some blocked Meridians were violently forced open by the thunder. Although it caused some damage to his body, the overall effect was still very good.

After all, to Master the Power of Thunder, one must first injure oneself before injuring others.

"Not bad. However, let's stop here for today. After the Divine Thunder Body Refining Art, the body must be soaked in secret medicine; otherwise, it will leave behind hidden ailments and affect future Cultivation."

Elder Tianlong looked at him with a gratified expression and said in a serious tone.

"That's right, Xiao Feng. It is not easy to be too hasty; practicing while recuperating is the long-term way." Nan Shuishui also rejected Lin Feng's request.

He was too young; once a day was already the limit, and he could not continue.

"Alright."

Lin Feng felt a bit regretful, and in his heart, he was still savoring the recent Divine Thunder Body Refining Art. This feeling was truly good—tingly and numb, as if electric currents were darting through his body.

"I'll go arrange the medicinal bath. The first soaking cannot be careless; I must bring out some good things!" Elder Tianlong stroked his greying beard and laughed loudly.

Nan Shuishui looked at him gratefully. "Elder Tianlong, thank you. If you have any needs in the future, just speak up. My Earth Dragon Gate will definitely do our best to help."

Elder Tianlong smiled, waved his hand, and then strode away.

Half an hour later.

In the room, Lin Feng was naked, sitting cross-legged in a bathtub. His hands were joined, placed in front of him in a posture with the five hearts facing the sky. His eyes were closed, and his breathing was steady and powerful.

The bathtub was filled with a barrel of blue-red liquid. The water ripples gently, unexpectedly reflecting traces of pale blue arcs, looking quite miraculous.

Lin Feng's chest rose and fell slightly, his breathing full of rhythm.

The blue-red liquid in the bathtub stained Lin Feng's skin, and wisps of it followed his pores, drilling into his body, nourishing his bones, and cleansing his Meridians...

As the electric arcs entered his body, Lin Feng's face trembled slightly. A tingly, numb sensation spread from his bones and Meridians, and even his flesh.

It was like being bitten by ten thousand ants, and his entire body's muscles began to twitch along with the rhythm of the electric arcs.

On the other side, Elder Tianlong was sitting quietly on a stool, observing Lin Feng's medicinal bath to prevent any accidents.

This medicinal bath was made using top-grade Thunder Pulp Grass and countless Heaven And Earth Treasure, combined with the precious blood of several powerful Thunder-type Spirit Beast. The cost of this one barrel alone was over a hundred thousand gold coins.

It could be said that to lay a foundation for Lin Feng, Elder Tianlong had spared no expense.

To him, whether it was the Earth Dragon Gate or the Heavenly Dragon Gate, as long as they were members of Dragon City, he had an obligation to nurture them into talent.

Furthermore, the Earth Dragon Gate and the Heavenly Dragon Gate shared the same origin tens of thousands of years ago, only separating due to some differences in philosophy and historical issues; there was no great hatred between them.

Additionally, the Earth Dragon Gate had promised to reimburse him for the cost of the medicinal bath, so naturally, he had no psychological burden.

Two hours later.

Elder Tianlong looked at Lin Feng, who could still continue to absorb, and was greatly shocked in his heart.

"This child's talent is truly good. Ordinary Heavenly Dragon Gate Disciples can be considered excellent if they can stay in the barrel for half an hour, yet he can actually still persist."

Elder Tianlong sighed inwardly, unable to help but compare his own Disciple, Yu Tianlong, with him.

But obviously, in terms of absorbing the Power of Thunder, Yu Tianlong was completely defeated.

Under Lin Feng's endless demands, more and more electric arcs and energy drifted out of the bathtub, entering his body through the pores all over his body.

At the same time, a layer of fine black liquid was expelled through his pores, slowly merging into the blue-red liquid, and the color inside the bathtub became dull.

The Cultivation passed slowly in a state of forgetting to eat and sleep; the sunlight shining in from outside the window gradually weakened, and the light gradually dimmed.

...

Time passed, and it was unknown how much had elapsed.

In the bathtub, Lin Feng, with his eyes tightly closed, absorbed the last bit of energy into his body. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a moment later, a pair of distinct black and white eyes suddenly opened.

Within his black pupils, pale blue streaks of light shot out, purple lightning danced, and a hint of light purple radiance appeared at the bottom of his eyes.

Slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air from his chest, Lin Feng blinked his eyes, looking energetic. Then, he stood up abruptly, letting the black and turbid liquid drip from his body, and lazily stretched.

"Comfortable. At this rate, I'm afraid it won't be long before my Physical Body strength can be compared to a Spirit Beast."

Lin Feng took a deep breath. After wiping his body clean and putting on his clothes, he walked out of the door.

The sky was now approaching dawn; the sky was grey, and the fish-belly white in the east gradually brightened, with purple Qi rising from the east.

He sat on a stone pillar in the martial arts arena, one leg hanging down slowly. The morning breeze gently blew his hair tips. Looking at the morning sun rising from the horizon in the distance, his heart was at peace.

In the early morning, the morning glow was brilliant, scattering like broken gold, bathing people in warmth.

"Hah..."

Just then, an eight or nine-year-old child stood straight on the martial arts arena, facing the morning glow, training his physique with audible grunts, his tender little face full of seriousness.

Lin Feng's gaze was attracted by his efforts, and a look of interest appeared on his face.

The youth was full of vitality, making sounds as he exerted force, his sturdy arms waving vigorously. Every movement and every detail was done very standardly, just like a textbook.

"Interesting."

Lin Feng grinned. He had probably guessed who this person was: the future young Sect Master of the Heavenly Dragon Gate, Yu Tianlong!

Perhaps there was no need to guess; just by looking at that Aura and the Moves he had learned, one could see the extraordinary nature of this person.

Thinking of this, he flipped down from the stone pillar, having the idea of sparring with him.

"Hah, ha!"

Yu Tianlong finished a set of Moves, slowly closed his hands, and sank his Qi into his Dantian. Just at this moment, a crisp sound of footsteps approached from afar.

A trace of doubt flashed across his face. Why was there a Disciple training as early as him today?

Yu Tianlong looked back and saw a youth he did not recognize.

The youth was very handsome, with a pair of large, distinct black and white eyes, long eyelashes, and dark blue hair emitting colorful light under the sunlight.

The youth smiled at him and cupped his hands in a salute: "Hello, my name is Lin Feng. Nice to meet you!"

Yu Tianlong hesitated for a moment, then returned the salute, "Yu Tianlong. I wonder what brings you here, Brother Lin?"

"Nothing much. I was just looking at the scenery over there and saw you training alone, which made me eager to try. I came here specifically to spar with you. I hope Brother Yu will not refuse."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he laughed and assumed a battle stance.

"I'd love to!"

A smile appeared on Yu Tianlong's face. He hadn't been challenged by anyone for a long time, and seeing someone come to fight, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Brother Lin, take this!"

Yu Tianlong raised his arms, and a sharp Aura appeared on his body. He took the initiative to rush towards Lin Feng to duel him, wanting to defeat him with absolute strength.

Lin Feng's expression was calm. The moment they were about to make contact, dark purple lightning bloomed in his body, rays of light burst forth, and purple lightning immediately appeared on his iron fists.

"Boom!"

The two palms collided, making a loud noise. Yu Tianlong felt the pain, and he retreated several meters. The web between his thumb and index finger cracked, dripping with blood, and his arm spasmed constantly.

Yu Tianlong looked at the injury on his hand, and his gaze towards Lin Feng was full of solemnity. This guy, such strong strength!

"Again!"

Yu Tianlong shouted angrily, ignoring the injury on his hand, and clenched his fists again to rush over.

Lin Feng sank his Qi into his Dantian, electric light filled his Meridians, and the Divine Thunder Body Refining Art was pushed to the limit. Electric arcs overflowed from his body surface, his body suddenly sank, and his right leg kicked towards Yu Tianlong like lightning.

It was like a scorpion swinging its tail, swift and sharp.

Yu Tianlong broke out in cold sweat. Facing such a sharp offensive, he could only dodge quickly. That foot almost kicked his head, violently sweeping towards his chest. Helplessly, he stretched out a palm to meet it.

"Slap!"

His palm, along with his chest, was kicked away. At this moment, Yu Tianlong only felt a fierce tiger crash into his chest. That powerful force shook his internal organs out of place.

Dust spread across the ground, and smoke rose into the sky.

Yu Tianlong's palm was in severe pain, presenting an unnatural twisted state as if it were broken. If he hadn't deflected the force in time, this hand would likely have been broken.

"Brother Yu, excuse me!"

Looking at Yu Tianlong, who was no longer able to fight, Lin Feng felt a bit of pity, but still smiled and cupped his fists.

Yu Tianlong looked at him quietly, took a deep breath, his voice carrying a hint of faint loneliness:

"I lost. You shouldn't be a member of the Heavenly Dragon Gate, right? I have never seen you before!"

Lin Feng did not deny it, nodding gently, but soon grinned, "But I am now..."

Yu Tianlong: "???"

Lin Feng explained: "Yesterday, Elder Tianlong already accepted me as his apprentice. Counting it up, I should still be your Junior Brother!"

Yu Tianlong was stunned, even more stunned than when he was defeated by Lin Feng...

A forced smile appeared on his face. "Junior Brother? No wonder!"

"With such strong strength, it's no wonder Master would break the rules to accept you as a Disciple. Your Spirit should also be Thunder-attribute, right?"

"Yes, Senior Brother. My Spirit is the Thunder Prison Vine!" Lin Feng said.

After speaking, he opened his right palm, and a wave of dark purple Soul Power suddenly appeared, and the Thunder Prison Vine also appeared.

With a thought from Lin Feng, the Thunder Prison Vine in his palm grew rapidly, reaching a height of 1.2 meters. The crackling Thunder Vine whipped towards a boulder not far away.

"Boom!"

The boulder shattered instantly, making a rumbling sound. The ground was instantly filled with flying sand and stones, and arcs of light filled the sky.

Seeing this, Yu Tianlong's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he took a sharp breath. The Power of Thunder was terrifying!

In his heart, he was completely convinced!

The Thunder Prison Vine was actually that legendary Spirit Beast. It was funny to say; the Spirit Beast he dreamed of obtaining a spirit ring from had actually become someone else's Spirit!

Yu Tianlong's face showed bitterness; perhaps only he himself understood this feeling.
