The power of thunder was violent and paramount. It was too fierce to resist. The person controlling thunder usually would take advantage of this characteristic of thunder to attack and kill enemies without scruple.
Yao Yuntong did the opposite. By weaving the thunder into a silk thread, she made the impossible possible.
Jiang Chen shouted and threw his fist, using the dragon power in his body. The fist power pierced through the void, strong enough to destroy an entire mountain.
Yao Yuntong showed a scornful smile, as if she was watching a man courting death.
Pah!
When the fist had made contact with the thunder, no striking noise could be heard. It threw Jiang Chen’s arm back, just like what happened when people received an electric shock.
“What the hell!”
However, it was Yao Yuntong who was shocked. Jiang Chen was fine except for a little concussion. This was far from what she had expected.
He has a strong body! Yao Yuntong thought to herself. ( NovelFull )
At the same time, Jiang Chen came up to her using the Teleportation Method. He hit her like a chariot, but his swords were still in their sheaths.
Yao Yuntong’s Protective Dipper Energy cracked. She was sent flying, but she managed to steady herself in the air.
“You’re courting death!” She shrieked. Not trying to restrain herself at all, she opened her arms wide. Thunder rumbled. Electric arcs wove through the air and into each other madly.
She has achieved Striking Thunder. Jiang Chen thought to himself.
The power of thunder was classified into Sudden Thunder, Angry Thunder, Striking Thunder, Tumbling Thunder, and Holy Thunder. With the aid of his electric sword, he had achieved Tumbling Thunder once, but later it had been weakened to Striking Thunder. That was to say, they had the same level.
Her thunder method is even better than mine. Does she know a holy method too? No. She has been focusing on the control of thunder.
Unlike her, Jiang Chen had been practicing two Lore Martial Realms.
Neither of them was wrong. The result of their fight would be apparent as soon as Jiang Chen drew his swords out. You can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs. That is the thing.
“Enough!”
A voice rang out from the mountainside. It sounded very old, but it was profound and strong. It did not sound like an order or a reproach. He just said it. However, the power his word gave off made Yao Yuntong fall from the air immediately, and her force of thunder just disappeared.
Jiang Chen’s situation was not any better. He felt a pressure imposed on him. It was even difficult to move his fingers.
“There is no maximum number for the Doctrine Palace’s challengers. Just go ahead. If anyone attacks others on the mountain, die.”
The voice came again. Both Jiang Chen and Yao Yuntong turned pale when they heard him saying “die”. They did not doubt the man’s strength. They believed he was strong enough to do what he said.
“Is that one of the gatekeepers of the Doctrine Palace?”
After giving the restraining order, the Three Upper Realms had sent some people to guard the ten entrances. All of them were very old by then. They did not have much time left. Then they went onto the mountain. Those who had been picked by Yao Yuntong also felt more confident.
Yao Yuntong was very unhappy. She put the blame on Jiang Chen.
“Let’s continue the fight after this thing with the Doctrine Palace is over,” Yao Yuntong said, unhappy with the situation.
Jiang Chen had more or less learned about this woman’s temper. Shrugging his shoulders, he did not respond. He was fine whether they would go on with the fight or not.
“Did you hear me?!” Seeing him ignore her, Yao Yuntong asked angrily.
“It’s not necessary,” Jiang Chen said.
If this was only a competition between their powers of thunder, it would be a tie. However, if it was a real fight, he would absolutely win.
“Let’s wait and see!” Yao Yuntong threatened. She held her temper instead of flying into a rage.
“My friend, you’ve got big trouble, but thank you all the same.” Someone said to him.
“Does this woman have a special background?” Jiang Chen asked.
“Don’t you know about it?” The man was very surprised. He told Jiang Chen that Yao Yuntong was a descendant of a very special school from the Three Emperor Territory. It was called the Mysterious Thunder School. It was not a big school. There were at most three people in it. They had a thunder method that could only be imparted to one person in each generation and was only limited to male descendants. However, Yao Yuntong was so talented that it would have been a big waste if the thunder method had not been imparted to her.
As an exception to this rule, Yao Yuntong caught the attention of various forces in the Three Middle Realms. The thunder method was only allowed to be imparted to male descendants because the school did not want anyone outside of the school to learn it.
Women would be married into other families. If it was imparted to a female descendant, she would impart it to her children. Then the thunder method would not belong to the Mysterious Thunder School anymore. That was exactly what those forces were after. They wanted to marry Yao Yuntong to obtain the thunder method.
Yao Yuntong’s beauty was a plus. Not surprisingly, she had lots of pursuers. Since Jiang Chen had antagonized her today, someone would teach him a lesson to avenge her.
Jiang Chen did not think it a big deal. This was quite similar to the thing with Chen Xi. He had even given people like Song Hao a beating. Whom would he be scared of?
…..
They saw the Doctrine Palace from the mountainside. It was a run-down palace, magnificent, but full of the traces of time. An old man was sitting at the gate. It was the man who had stopped Jiang Chen and Yao Yuntong from fighting. Jiang Chen had never seen a man older than this one. His skin was dry and wrinkled. His blood vessels could be seen clearly. His eyes were so turbid that it was impossible to see his eyeballs.
“Having adventures in the Doctrine Palace can cost you your life. Don’t do more than what you actually can.”
His voice, however, sounded strong, which suggested he still had endless power in his old body.
The Doctrine Palace’s gate was opened automatically. The creaking sound made their toes curl. They threw each other a glance, hesitating, especially those who were here for the first time.
Yao Yuntong was the first one to fly into the dark space behind the gate. Her energy disappeared right away.
Jiang Chen knew this was only an entrance. Inside the Doctrine Palace, there was another world. He took a step ahead and flew into the Doctrine Palace following Yao Yuntong.
It was very dark inside, not because of insufficient light, but because this was a dark world where lights did not reach. Jiang Chen kept flying forward, but, due to the lack of reference objects, he was not even sure whether he had moved or not. Looking back, he found he could not see the entrance through which he had entered anymore.He did not know how much time had passed. The darkness was finally gone. A world was emerging in front of him.
He saw great landscapes. A 1,000-meter-long waterfall dropped to the ground. Mountains were full of green. Cranes flew by in groups.
Gazing at what was right in front of him, Jiang Chen saw the yard where he was.
The walls, the archway, the corridors, and the stone statues, everything suggested how ancient this place was. The wall which the sunlight could not reach was covered over with moss.
“I can’t fly here.” Jiang Chen found. This meant he could only move around on foot. In this way, this world seemed even bigger to him.
“Where is the challenge?”
Jiang Chen looked around. Without perceiving any energy from the enemy, he felt he was just traveling around to visit some historical sites. He smelled the fragrance of grass in the breeze.
Walking through an archway, he saw a wide arena built on the cliff. He walked into the arena. Still nothing happened. It seemed peaceful everywhere.
“Where is the challenge they told me about?”
Jiang Chen felt weird. Looking around, he found what was odd about this place.
The arena was paved with rectangular flagstones. Besides the chessboard-like crisscrossed courses, there were also many curves. At the moment, he was stepping on one of them. From where he was standing, the curve was illuminated and the light spread quickly. Jiang Chen followed its movement with his eyes. He saw the source of the light lead to a stone statue at the edge.
The stone statue had a dragon head and a tiger body, tall and giant. Activated by the light, its casing was rapidly peeling off.
