107: Chapter 107 Thunder Pool

Dead silence.

Within the entire cathedral, the tens of thousands of people present could hear a pin drop.

Only the sounds of explosions and human screams coming from the holographic projection were ruthlessly tearing at everyone's nerves.

"So!"

The old man's eyes were bloodshot. Pointing at the tens of thousands of Seed students below, he let out a hysterical roar:

"Our Aolan Academy has exhausted the entire Foundation of the Human Race, sparing no cost to Cultivate you, giving you the best Cultivation Technique, giving you the best resources!"

"It is not for you to bicker and show off here!"

"It is so that in the future, you will have enough strength to grip the blades in your hands! To kill and slaughter every single one of those alien races that attempt to devour us!"

"It is so that you can protect our final home, the Human Race! The Milky Way must absolutely not become a slaughterhouse for other races like the Andromeda Galaxy!!!"

Boom!

The old man's words were filled with blood and tears, striking every student's heart like heavy hammers weighing ten thousand jun!

Offstage.

Many students clenched their fists tightly.

Su Yu was the same.

Before this, he only knew that the Universe followed the law of the jungle, but he had never imagined that the situation of the Human Race was already so dire, on the verge of national subjugation and extinction!

"Fight for the future of the Human Race!!!"

Someone shouted, taking the lead.

Immediately after.

"Fight for the future of the Human Race!!!"

Tens of thousands of students shouted in unison toward the sky!

The graduation ceremony ended in a fervent atmosphere.

Those hundred Star Saint graduates, without flowers or applause, were directly escorted by the military to board the interstellar mothership heading to the front lines, rushing toward the starry battlefield.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Su Yu stood where he was, his mood unable to settle for a long time.

"Follow me."

Just then, his mentor Du Dong, who had been waiting not far away, walked over. Without much chatter, he gestured very decisively.

Su Yu followed Du Dong's pace.

The two moved quickly through the wide alloy corridors of Planet Two.

"Did you take the Vice President's words to heart just now?" Du Dong asked in a deep voice while leading the way, without looking back.

"I did. A blood feud, endless and irreconcilable."

"Having that bit of Killing Intent is enough. Alien races won't follow rules with you."

Du Dong nodded in appreciation, then changed the subject, his tone carrying a trace of extremely rare gravity and excitement:

"You took first place in the Martial King tournament and displayed potential beyond ordinary people. Therefore, these past few days, I risked my old face and personally ran to the Inner Academy three times to apply for an exceptional reward opportunity for you from the academy's highest leadership."

"I have secured for you the qualification to enter the Lightning Pool for a baptism!"

"Lightning Pool?"

Hearing this unfamiliar term, a flash of surprise crossed Su Yu's eyes, and his footsteps paused slightly.

"That's right."

Du Dong stopped, turned around, and stared at Su Yu:

"Normally, only fourth-year students who have reached the Star Saint Realm and have established great military merit can enter!"

"As a freshman who has just stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm, logically, you don't even have the qualification to know about this place."

"However! You possess the 'Chaos Body'! This is a supreme Physique that encompasses all things and has extremely strong plasticity!"

"There are incomplete records in ancient texts. For someone who possesses the peerless Physique of a Chaos Body, if they can withstand the violent baptism in the Lightning Pool that contains a trace of the Heavenly Tribulation Origin, on the premise of not being struck to death..."

Du Dong said word by word, extremely solemnly: "It is highly likely to stimulate the Chaos Body to undergo a secondary mutation, deriving an extremely tyrannical Innate Physique within your body—the Thunder Control Body!"

"Once you awaken the Thunder Control Body, it will not only cause an earth-shaking, explosive strengthening of your Physical Body quality and cellular activity, making your Foundation even more solid! More importantly, you will possess absolute affinity for lightning! This is simply like adding wings to a tiger for your cultivation of that Lightning Fire Blade Technique!"

Hearing this!

Su Yu's heart felt as if it had been punched hard, skipping a beat!

Thunder Control Body! Physical Body strengthening! Lightning affinity!

A free opportunity to improve strength—only a fool wouldn't want it!

"Many thanks to you, mentor, for your cultivation!"

Su Yu was not pretentious at all and bowed deeply to Du Dong.

He knew very well that to secure such resources for him, a first-year student, Du Dong must have paid an unimaginable price behind the scenes.

"Alright, don't do this superficial stuff."

Du Dong smiled and shook his head, pulling Su Yu up. His eyes were full of expectation: "There's nothing to thank me for. If you want to thank someone, thank yourself. Because your situation matches the situation in that Incomplete Manual, the academy is willing to place this heavy bet on you and allow you to use the Lightning Pool exceptionally."

"Let's go. Whether you can awaken the Thunder Control Body depends on your own fortune. If you can't withstand it, absolutely do not force it. There are not a few geniuses in the academy's history who were struck to ashes by the Lightning Pool!"

While warning him, Du Dong continued to lead Su Yu quickly toward the deepest part of Planet Two.

On the way, Du Dong explained in great detail to Su Yu the breathing techniques recorded in ancient texts on how to use the Chaos Body to devour lightning and awaken the Thunder Control Body in the Lightning Pool.

The two walked for a full half-hour.

They finally arrived here.

In front was a huge teleportation gate.

Du Dong stepped forward and presented the special approval certificate to the two guards clad in black armor.

The guards swept a cold glance at Su Yu.

"Go in. Remember my words, act according to your ability!" Du Dong patted Su Yu's shoulder one last time and exhorted.

"Understood."

Without any hesitation, Su Yu took a step forward and entered the teleportation gate.

After a bout of dizziness.

"Chilala—!!!"

As soon as Su Yu landed.

Before he could even open his eyes.

A violent lightning force, dense to the extreme and almost materialized, rushed directly toward his face!

Even with his Qi and blood protecting his body, under the impact of this violent lightning aura, every hair on his body stood on end instantly, and a layer of fine goosebumps involuntarily rose on the surface of his skin!

Su Yu opened his eyes.

What was presented before him was a terrifying world completely dominated by lightning!

The sky was gray and dark, but it was constantly torn apart by countless thick bolts of lightning raging like wild Dragons, illuminating it as bright as day.

Su Yu looked down and saw that what he was stepping on was a long, narrow stone path paved with an unknown black Ore capable of insulating against lightning.

And at the end of that stone path.

It was a huge, circular pool that covered an area of tens of thousands of square meters!

What was churning in that pool was not ordinary liquid at all.

It was pure Lightning Liquid, formed by the convergence of endless lightning that had been highly compressed and liquefied!

This was the supreme Foundation of Aolan Academy! The Source of Ten Thousand Lightning—the Lightning Pool!

The pool water presented an extremely blinding silvery-white color, with lightning bubbles constantly bursting on the surface. Every burst released a terrifying power sufficient to strike an ordinary Martial King directly into charcoal!
