261: Lei Renjie's Battle

Thunder God Palace

As soon as Jiang Ye arrived, he ran into Hu Shuo and followed him to complete the registration procedures for new Disciples. Since Shi Feng and Shi Bao did not practice lightning techniques, they did not join the Thunder God Palace, but Thunder Leopard had prepared separate cultivation rooms for them.

As Hu Shuo led Jiang Ye along the way, many people were whispering. Why was an Elite Disciple personally taking a new Disciple to handle the palace entry procedures?

A delicate-looking woman saw Hu Shuo leading Jiang Ye out of the Palace Uniform Hall, carrying an Elite Disciple uniform.

“Junior Brother Hu, is this the new Disciple Elder Thunder Leopard took in?”

“That's right. He is now the ninth Disciple under Elder Thunder Leopard—Jiang Ye. And this is Senior Sister Liu Wanqing, a personal Disciple of our Palace Master!”

Jiang Ye cupped his hands and said, “Greetings, Senior Sister Liu!”

Liu Wanqing said, “To be chosen by Elder Thunder Leopard, Junior Brother Jiang's strength must be quite formidable, right?”

“Heh, it's alright, just mediocre. I'll need a lot of guidance from all the Senior Brothers and Sisters in the future.”

“What Realm has Junior Brother Jiang reached in his Breakthrough now?”

At this moment, a hostile voice came from nearby. “How high a Realm can a new Disciple reach? Junior Sister Liu, let's go. Old Ancestor Xing Mu is about to start his lecture.”

Jiang Ye's brow twitched. Where did this guy's hostility come from?

Hu Shuo said to Jiang Ye, “By the way, Old Ancestor Xing Mu is giving a public lecture today. Do you want to go listen? If you have any problems in your Cultivation, you can also ask Old Ancestor Xing Mu questions.”

Jiang Ye said decisively, “Alright, let's go!”

Just as Jiang Ye was about to walk forward, the young man reached out to stop him, saying, “A new Disciple who just entered the Thunder God Palace has no right to listen to the Old Ancestor's lecture.”

Hu Shuo said angrily, “Zhang Yi, don't fucking look for trouble here. Be careful, if Senior Brother Lei finds out, he'll give you another beating!”

“Humph! What use are you bastards besides hiding behind Lei Renjie? In three days, at the Elite Disciple Challenge, I'll trample you all one by one. Let's see what Lei Renjie can do to me!”

Since it was his first day, Jiang Ye didn't want to cause trouble. He tried to walk around Zhang Yi, but was blocked again.

“Did I say you could leave?” Zhang Yi said extremely arrogantly.

Jiang Ye felt some anger and said, “What do you want?”

Liu Wanqing said, “Zhang Yi, don't go too far. All Disciples of the Thunder God Palace are allowed to attend the Old Ancestor's lecture.”

Jiang Ye's tone suddenly changed as he said, “Senior Brother Hu, if I don't establish some dominance in the Thunder God Palace, will trash like this keep bothering me?”

“Huh? Junior Brother Jiang, you...” Hu Shuo was startled. Only now did he realize that when he last saw Jiang Ye, he was at the ninth stage of the Profound Transformation Realm, but now he couldn't see through his Realm at all.

Zhang Yi felt provoked and glared, saying, “It seems you're quite arrogant... ah... ugh...”

Jiang Ye instantly ignited his Soul, then grabbed him by the throat and said, “If I weren't considering that we're fellow Disciples, I would kill you right now!”

“Ugh... you... I am the Palace Master's eldest Disciple! If you dare to strike me, even Elder Thunder Leopard won't be able to protect you! Ah...!”

Jiang Ye increased the intensity of the Soul Fire's burning power and threw him directly onto the ground, where he screamed in pain!

“Crawl up and kneel before me to apologize, otherwise you can just die slowly in this agony!”

“In your dreams... ah...”

Liu Wanqing was also frightened. Zhang Yi was the second strongest Disciple in the Thunder God Palace, second only to Lei Renjie, yet he didn't even have the power to resist before this man.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said in panic, “You... your name is Jiang Ye? Could you be the Jiang Ye who claimed he would kill the Illusion God Palace Saint in three moves?”

“What? Junior Brother Jiang, it's you...” Hu Shuo was also shocked; he had forgotten to connect the names.

Hearing their words, Zhang Yi finally realized the identity of the person before him. However, if he knelt in public, he would lose all face in the Thunder God Palace.

Liu Wanqing said, “Junior Brother Jiang, he didn't know your identity. Please let him go this once!”

After a moment, Jiang Ye withdrew the Soul Fire. “Don't let there be a next time! Senior Brother Hu, let's go.”

Shortly after the two left, news of what happened spread, and the entire Thunder God Palace began to boil with excitement. After all, word had already spread outside that Jiang Ye was now the strongest person among the younger generation in the Super Profound Domain, and he was in a league of his own!

At this time, not far away, the Thunder God Palace Master Lin Shan and Grand Elder Chen Jie had witnessed the scene that just unfolded.

Chen Jie said, “The Soul power he just used was quite formidable!”

Lin Shan was also a bit surprised. “Not only is his lightning technique excellent, but he also possesses such a strong Soul Skill. This kid is not simple! No wonder Elder Thunder Leopard asked two Old Ancestors to personally bring him back.”

“Mm, and now a special exception has been made for him to enter the Thunder Spirit Pool to Cultivate. When he represents our Thunder God Palace in the Super Profound Space Slot Competition, there will basically be no suspense about him taking first place.”

“Those fools at the Vajra Gate actually drove such a person away. However, with the lightning techniques he practices, he was bound to come to my Thunder God Palace sooner or later, hahaha!!”

Three hours later.

After listening to the Thunder God Palace Old Ancestor's lecture, it indeed solved some problems Jiang Ye hadn't noticed when usually performing lightning techniques.

When he returned to his residence, he learned that the Thunder God Palace had made an exception to let him enter the Thunder Spirit Pool to Cultivate once, which was a pleasant surprise! He really had to thank the brainlessness of the Vajra Gate for indirectly helping him out.

Jiang Ye was in a very good mood. He planned to wait until after the Thunder God Palace Elite Disciple Challenge to enter the Thunder Spirit Pool for a full secluded Breakthrough. After giving two bottles of Body Tempering Spirit Liquid each to Shi Feng and Shi Bao, he entered the Thunder God Palace's Library and stayed there for several days, only coming out on the day of the Elite Challenge.

At the scene of the Elite Disciple Challenge.

Almost everyone from the Thunder God Palace had arrived. After all, this Elite Challenge represented the highest level of their palace's Disciples. Except for a few Old Ancestors, the Palace Master and the Elders basically all attended with their Elite Disciples.

Soon, the first Disciple to challenge stepped onto the battle stage and shouted, “I want to challenge Elder Thunder Leopard's Disciple, Hu Shuo!”

“Huh?” Jiang Ye and Hu Shuo were sitting together, and both were stunned for a moment. “Senior Brother Hu, I didn't expect you to be in the first match! Hahaha!”

“Damn! This bastard lost to me by half a move last time and he's still not over it!” Whoosh!!! Hu Shuo leaped onto the battle stage in a flash!

On the battle stage.

The two stood facing each other. The challenger was named Cai Feng, who said, “Hu Shuo, I won't lose this time. Come!”

“You bastard! You're quite persistent. This time I'll crush you completely. Lightning Technique, Rushing Thunder Light!”

Bang, bang, bang...

The two instantly began a fierce battle. The inner and outer Disciples below the stage watched without blinking; a battle of this level was highly attractive to them!

After fighting for fifteen minutes, Hu Shuo won the first match. Jiang Ye could tell that he had still held back some strength.

After the two left the battle stage, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the platform. A young man dressed in white, holding a long sword, appeared where the lightning had struck. He was the Thunder God Palace Saint—Lei Renjie!

Everyone below the stage was shocked. “The Saint? Isn't he supposed to be in secluded cultivation until the Super Profound Space Slot Competition?”

Some Elders also found it strange. Why did he come out?

On the battle stage.

Lei Renjie shouted, “I want to challenge the ninth Elite Disciple under Elder Thunder Leopard—Jiang Ye!”

“What? Challenging his own Junior Brother?” Some Disciples were a bit confused by the situation.

Jiang Ye shook his head below the stage; he hadn't intended to fight at all, just came to watch the fun!

However, all the Elders were pleasantly surprised. This was going to be a good show—a battle between the two strongest Disciples of the Thunder God Palace!

With a flash, Jiang Ye stepped onto the battle stage, cupped his hands, and said, “Senior Brother, this is our first meeting. I have long looked forward to it!”
