Guo Wei confidently said, “Great Elder, rest assured, if Yang Xiaotian dares to show up at the monthly exam, I will surely blast him half to death.”

At that time, all past grievances will be settled!

An astonishing aura burst forth from him.

To everyone’s amazement, he had reached the eighth level of Martial King.

“The only fear is that he won’t dare to show up,” Guo Wei said. “I’ve heard he’s asked the vice dean for leave.”

Zhong Yun laughed and said, “This monthly exam, if he doesn’t dare to show up, just wait for the next one. There’s always another chance. When he does appear, you can also challenge him to a duel on the fighting stage.”

Guo Wei nodded.

Several days blinked by.

Inside the Heavenly Dragon Hall, Yang Xiaotian was radiating with light, surrounded by True Essence Dragons, their overwhelming dragon might filling the air.

The Black Flood Dragon King, who was cultivating, was startled awake. It looked at the True Essence Dragons swirling around Yang Xiaotian in shock.

The Azure Thunder Python observed the Black Flood Dragon King’s astonished expression and couldn’t help but chuckle. It remembered feeling the same way when it first witnessed the True Essence Dragons summoned by the young master.

Watching the True Essence Dragons around the young master, the Azure Thunder Python thought of an extremely domineering Cultivation Technique from ancient times.

However, despite having stayed by Yang Xiaotian’s side for a while now, the sight of the sky full of True Essence Dragons still left it profoundly moved each time.

Moments later, Yang Xiaotian stopped cultivating. The True Essence Dragons retracted back into his body, and he stood up to stretch his limbs and muscles.

This session of cultivation had led him to successfully break through to the fifth level of Martial King.

It was time to return.

Thus, Yang Xiaotian, along with the Azure Thunder Python and the Black Flood Dragon King, left the Heavenly Dragon Valley, ripped through the sky, and flew back to Tiandou Imperial City.

Yang Xiaotian was still seated cross-legged atop the head of the Azure Thunder Python.

The Azure Thunder Python flew through the air.

The Black Flood Dragon King followed behind.

After several days of ingesting top-grade Endless Life Pills for healing, the Black Flood Dragon King’s injuries had almost completely healed.

Though the Black Flood Dragon King’s form was quite massive, it still fell short when compared to the Azure Thunder Python, the king of Divine Beasts.

It was like the difference between an Ancient Divine Mountain and an ordinary large mountain.

Just like on the journey there, as the Azure Thunder Python flew, the Fierce Beasts of the Red Moon Forest trembled and prostrated themselves on the ground.

A day later, Tiandou Imperial City appeared on the horizon.

Yang Xiaotian recalled the Azure Thunder Python and the Black Flood Dragon King and entered Tiandou Imperial City.

Just as Yang Xiaotian entered Tiandou Imperial City, a surge of cheering erupted from the square of Tiandou Academy.

It turned out that Tiandou Academy was holding its monthly exam.

In the first-year exam, Guo Wei was virtually unbeatable, defeating opponents one by one. Having awakened the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon God and condensed four Sword Hearts, even Lin Xiao, who could once match him, was no longer his equal.

After defeating Lin Xiao, Guo Wei then drew the Son of Thunder in the lottery.

Seeing that he had drawn the Son of Thunder, Guo Wei sneered.

He, of course, knew that the Son of Thunder had a close relationship with Yang Xiaotian.

Since Yang Xiaotian hadn’t shown up, he would first take pleasure in tormenting the Son of Thunder and wait for Yang Xiaotian’s return to challenge him then.

The Son of Thunder frowned as he drew Guo Wei, took a deep breath, stepped forward onto the square, and cupped his fists towards Guo Wei, saying, “Brother Guo, please enlighten me.”

No sooner had he spoken than suddenly, Guo Wei’s figure flashed. He had appeared right in front of the Son of Thunder.

Guo Wei threw a punch with such speed that the Son of Thunder couldn’t even react.

With a thunderous boom, the Son of Thunder was struck squarely in the chest.

The sound of bones cracking rang out.

The Son of Thunder was sent flying like a struck ball, smashing heavily onto the ground far away.

“Guo Wei!” the Son of Thunder spat out a mouthful of blood and glared furiously at Guo Wei, “You attacked by surprise, despicable and shameless!”

Before he could finish his sentence, Guo Wei had already launched a surprise attack.

Zhong Lei, the class leader of Yang Xiaotian’s first-year class, spoke up, “Son of Thunder, Brother Guo’s strength is unparalleled. Does he need to sneak attack you? You’re no match for Brother Guo. Being sent flying by him and still having the shameless gall to claim he launched a sneak attack!”

The Son of Thunder heard this and his eyes turned cold. His body flashed with lightning, while countless Thunder Serpents coiled around him, sending shocking waves of fire sweeping through.

“Body of Solar Thunder,” said Guo Wei unimpressed upon seeing this.

In the past, the Body of Solar Thunder was considered amazing in the Divine Sea Country, but in his eyes, it was nothing special.

The Son of Thunder bellowed deeply and suddenly threw a punch at Guo Wei.

Numerous Thunder Serpents followed the force of his punch towards Guo Wei.

Seeing this, Guo Wei scoffed, “Ignorant of death.” With a casual punch, he didn’t even use any Divine Skills but merely activated the Ancient Thunder God Art.

Instantly, the overwhelming power of thunder collided with the Son of Thunder’s fist.

The Son of Thunder’s fist exploded with flesh and blood, and he was blown away.

Guo Wei stepped forward and suddenly stomped down on the Son of Thunder’s mangled fist.

The sound of bones shattering resounded.

The Son of Thunder grimaced in pain.

“Do you know why?” Guo Wei looked down coldly at the Son of Thunder on the ground, “It’s because you’re quite close to Yang Xiaotian!”

Li Yang, who was also in Class Two with Guo Wei, instigated with a laugh, “Son of Thunder, if you kneel down and call Yang Xiaotian a dog, maybe Junior Brother Guo Wei will spare you!”

Many students laughed uproariously.

Just then, some of the students who had just started laughing suddenly stopped and looked in the direction behind Guo Wei.

Guo Wei felt something was off and abruptly turned his head, only to see Yang Xiaotian approaching from afar.

Yang Xiaotian was wearing a light blue brocade robe, exuding no aura whatsoever, but with his arrival, the entire plaza fell silent.

Yang Xiaotian had heard Li Yang’s mocking laughter.

He also saw the Son of Thunder being blown away by Guo Wei.

Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian arrive, Guo Wei smiled revealing his teeth in surprise, “Yang Xiaotian, you finally show up. Perfect timing, I thought you were hiding and didn’t dare to show your face.”

With that, he suddenly kicked at the Son of Thunder’s abdomen, brutally sending him flying.

Yang Xiaotian’s eyes turned icy. He knew Guo Wei did it on purpose, putting on a show for him to see.

He came to the Son of Thunder’s side, helped him up, and made him swallow an Endless Life Pill, then turned to face Guo Wei.

Suddenly, Guo Wei’s aura surged violently, and a massive shadow of a Divine Dragon appeared behind him, his entire body engulfed in thunder, transforming into a sea of thunder.

His eyes fierce, he leaped into the air and threw a punch, “Yang Xiaotian, take my punch!”

Instantly, the dragon’s roar echoed through heaven and earth.

The might of the celestial dragon shook all directions.

The force of the punch roared, tearing through layers of airflow and with the force of a collapsing mountain, it charged towards Yang Xiaotian.

“Why should I mind taking your punch,” Yang Xiaotian punched back with equal force.

Just like before, a dragon’s roar echoed through heaven and earth.

The same overwhelming dragon might.

Myriad True Essence Dragons flew out, directly blasting Guo Wei’s punch.

And hitting Guo Wei squarely.

Just moments before, Guo Wei had seemed invincible with the might of the dragon, but now, he was blown backwards, crashing down on the edge of the plaza.

The ground shook incessantly.

Where Guo Wei fell, countless stones scattered.

Everyone was stunned.

Guo Wei, awakened with the bloodline of one of the Ancient Ten Great Dragon Gods, was defeated just like that?

“The first punch, I’ve taken it, any second punches?” Yang Xiaotian approached Guo Wei and spoke indifferently.

Everyone was shocked.

In a daze, the crowd recalled the scene from the initial admission assessments.
