Ancient Thunder Dragon Spell Chapter 36

Chapter 36 - Inauspicious premonitions

There was still a bit of time before the compet.i.tion. Lei Yang had originally wanted to find a remote corner to meditate, and wait for his spirit to recover, so that he could prepare for the upcoming battle. However, after thinking for a bit, he couldn't be careless.

He looked around and finally found a good spot in the middle of Battlestage C and D, where he could watch the battles on both platforms at the same time.

But with just one look, it had caught his interest, because he saw that on Group D's stage, the person in the compet.i.tion was actually the direct descendant Lei Fengyu.

She was pet.i.te and pet.i.te, and wore a tight violet outfit. Although she was only fourteen years old, her impressive figure was already quite attractive, and seemed to be on the verge of burning hot.

She was fighting with a girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old. Both of them were at the early seventh level, so their strength were equal. They fought back and forth like two birds dancing on the stage.

The two techniques focused on dexterity, each with their own merits. Lei Fengyu's fingers were known for being powerful, while the other lady was an expert with flying needles. As they fought, no one could easily suppress her, and in an instant, all the light screens around the stage were being struck, the scene was extremely intense.

Compared to the other three arenas in the first round of the compet.i.tion, the first ring was the most exciting match of all. As a result, it immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

From the discussions of the disciples around him, as well as the cheers and cheers from the spectators, Lei Yang found out that the other woman was a disciple from the Fire Dragon Clan of the Eight Dragons Tribe.

The two of them were extremely light and agile. Lei Fengyu's Wind Spirit Finger Technique was even more adept than before when she saw it. As for the woman from the Fire Dragon Tribe, she was using a crane fist technique. She moved about like a crane that happened to be dancing, and was also very proficient in it. Whenever she punched out, a crane formed from spiritual energy would fly out.

In the blink of an eye, the two women had already fought several hundred times on the stage, but they were still evenly matched, unable to determine the victor.

However, from the battle, Lei Yang could tell that although the two of them were of equal strength, the women from the Fire Dragon Clan were far more scheming than Lei Fengyu. Lei Fengyu could already be considered not bad amongst the direct descendants, but compared to her, she was still two years younger.

In a short period of time, although the two women had yet to determine a victor, the woman from the Fire Dragon Clan had been secretly gathering her strength. Although it seemed as if she was constantly retreating, and gradually falling into a disadvantageous position, once the time was ripe, she would only need one move to turn the situation around and win.

Seeing that her opponent was unable to withstand her sharp attacks and was gradually at a disadvantage, she used her full strength to attack even more. She wanted to take her opponent down in one go, and the woman from the Fire Dragon Clan was indeed forced to retreat step by step from her attack, in an extremely sorry state.

But due to Lei Fengyu's anxiousness, she only focused on attacking, and ignored her own defense, finally revealing a small flaw in her attack. However, when experts fought, victory and defeat would be decided in an instant. Although the flaw was small, how could the opponent let it go?

The Fire Dragon Clan's woman's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and the corners of her mouth lifted into a cold smile. Her right hand immediately clenched into a fist, and without any hesitation, she punched towards the flaw on Lei Fengyu's chest.

As she threw out her fist, the spiritual energy that had been acc.u.mulating in her aurasea surged out and turned into a crane made of spiritual energy.

The moment the Immortal Crane was formed, it immediately let out a sharp cry, and with an unbelievable speed, rushed straight towards the flaw on Lei Fengyu's chest.

Everything happened too quickly, and all of them happened in one go without a hitch. There was not the slightest bit of procrastination, and it was obvious that only an experienced person would be able to do it, even Lei Yang himself wouldn't be able to do it.

Lei Yang had been watching from the side the entire time, and he had seen all of this very clearly. Although Lei Fengyu did have some flaws, if she wanted to fight her opponent in one move, the woman from the Fire Dragon Clan would also have to pay a large price. But from beginning to end, she didn't have the slightest bit of hesitation. Her actions were so decisive that even Lei Yang couldn't help but be shocked.

Obviously, in Lei Fengyu's eyes, she had never seen a fighting style that did not care about the price. As she looked at the Immortal Crane that turned into a fist shadow, it quickly grew bigger in her pupils, causing her, who had always been at the advantage, to panic, and as a result, her entire attack, instantly became chaotic, while at the same time a sense of foreboding filled her heart.

Without time for her to think, she immediately retreated. As she retreated, she forcefully pushed out her previous powerful attack.

However, it was too late. The opponent had already planned this for a long time. It was obvious that he was determined to win. Even if he had to pay some price, it was still worth it. In fact, in terms of the strength of the two, Lei Fengyu was slightly stronger, so even if they had a draw, it could still be considered as victory.

"Bam!" Two powerful techniques clashed against each other in an instant, and a loud sound was released from the stage's barrier of light. The Immortal Crane formed by the Fire Dragon Clan's female Qi instantly pierced through Lei Fengyu's attack, but its remaining strength did not reduce, and smashed onto Lei Fengyu's chest.

The powerful force instantly sent Lei Fengyu flying, she groaned, and her entire body flew out like a kite with its string snapped, directly smas.h.i.+ng into the light barrier at the side of the stage and then sliding down onto the stage.

Lei Fengyu opened her almond-shaped eyes wide, and spat out a mouthful of blood. She looked at the woman from the Fire Dragon Clan, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes. She struggled to stand up, but her injuries were too severe and she spat out two mouthfuls of blood. However, she was still unable to stand up.

It was obvious that the opponent's punch had landed on her body, injuring her quite badly. Even though she was holding on on, it was obvious that she was still weak.

On the other hand, the woman from the Fire Dragon Clan also paid a heavy price. Although Lei Fengyu's powerful attack was penetrated, a large portion of the force still smashed into her body.

She was also instantly sent flying, directly colliding into the light barrier of the arena. Then, she heavily fell onto the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. However, the moment she landed, she stood up calmly. Although she was still injured, she was better than Lei Fengyu.

At this moment, she was standing on the other side of the stage, looking at Lei Fengyu who was struggling but unable to stand up, and a smile slowly appeared on her face.

There was satisfaction and madness in that smile. To her, her opponent was originally stronger than she was. She was already satisfied that she could fight to a draw, let alone win the bet in this situation.

It was at this moment that the judge of the first stage, the cold and ruthless voice of Lei Qingqing, resounded throughout the entire audience, "The first match of the first stage, Fire Dragon Clan's Lei Qingqing, wins!"

Intense cheers erupted from the grandstands where the Fire Dragon Clan was located all of a sudden, while all the spectators in the grandstands burst into an uproar.

"Oh my G.o.d, this year's Family Compet.i.tion is really intense. It's only the first round, yet it's already so exciting. It's a worthwhile trip!"

"The younger generation can be said to be so ruthless and decisive. When they grow up in the future, they really can't be underestimated."

"The Fire Dragon Clan has finally produced a talent!"

… ….

Among all the discussions, there were praises for the Fire Dragon Clan's Lei Qingqing's performance on the platform.

Lei Qingqing let out a light laugh, and cupped her fists towards Lei Fengyu, "Sister, you've let me win!" He then turned around and calmly walked down the platform.

Lei Fengyu did not want to accept it, but she knew that she had been eliminated, and the momentum had already pa.s.sed. Now that she had recovered, she slowly stood up and stomped her foot hard.

After the compet.i.tion was over, Lei Yang took a look at the other stages, only to see a few disciples at the fifth and sixth levels of Qi. There was nothing much to see, so he turned and walked away, no longer paying attention to the stages, and started to size up the Eight Dragons Tribe that he was unfamiliar with.

Other than the annual Family Compet.i.tion s, the rest of the time, the Eight Dragons Tribe would not interact much with the Lei Family. For direct descendants like Lei Yang, they would have even less of a chance to understand the situation.

In fact, from a certain point of view, they were just a few complete branch families. However, they had yet to openly leave the family.

Right now, they had only just pa.s.sed through the annual Family Compet.i.tion. It had forcefully tied the entire large family together and once this line broke, the entire Lei Family would instantly fall apart. This point, all the higher-ups of the Lei Family were already well aware of it, and the Patriarch, Lei Yuntian, was even more clear about it.

… ….

After Lei Yang observed for a while, he realized that the Eight Dragons Tribe was indeed impressive. His cultivation base was too low, and even though he had the golden word "seal" on his chest, which helped him clearly see the cultivation base of others, it was still only limited to cultivators in the Spiritual Qi Realm. For powerhouses who were after Spirit Origin Realm, they could only feel if their auras were the same or not, and could not see the depth of another's cultivation.

However, through his observation, he discovered that out of the eight branch chiefs of the Eight Dragon Tribe, five of them had auras similar to that of the four great elders who were in the direct line of descent, and the auras of the other three were quite similar to that of Patriarch Lei Yuntian.

He had also discovered that in the spectator stands of each clan, besides the branch family leaders, there were at least five other auras of Spirit Origin Realm experts of at least. As for the three branch chiefs whose auras were similar to Patriarch Lei Yuntian's, each of them had as many as ten auras of Spirit Origin Realm experts behind them.

It had to be known that when families fought with their families, if there was one more expert from the Spirit Origin Realm Realm, the result would be different, let alone there were so many experts.

Just one Family Compet.i.tion was enough to make the various patriarchs almost all send their clan leaders out. Lei Yang really did not know if this was a demonstration to join the Family Compet.i.tion. For some reason, he suddenly felt that the Family Compet.i.tion was a little strange.

As for the three branch chiefs who had similar auras to Lei Yuntian, even though they each sat in different places, their eyes were still intentionally or unintentionally sweeping towards the stone dragon throne where Patriarch Lei Yuntian was seated.

Furthermore, deep in their eyes, there was even a hint of contempt that was difficult for outsiders to detect, as if they were completely unconvinced that Lei Yuntian was sitting on the Dragon Throne.

All of this was like a huge mystery, allowing Lei Yang to see some clues, but he was still unable to grasp the essence. It made his mind a mess, at the same time, a bad premonition arose in his heart.

As he got further and further away, a sense of frustration appeared in his heart, so he decided to not think about the reason anymore. He looked up and saw that it was still early, so he sat down in a corner and closed his eyes to recover.
