Chapter 977: Thunder Ponds

d meet you and it turns out it was sooner than expected! Your challenge has been accepted by us, choose the time when you would like.”Shen Xiang smiled, “Today then!”Zhu Rong said, "Let's discuss the...Chapter 977: Lightning Pond

Yun Xiaotao and Zhu Rong realized that Old Sect Master Duan was very powerful from their conversation, so they did not interrupt.

“Old Sect Master Duan, these are my friends. I hope you can guide them and make them as stealthy as the tomb robbers from our Duan Family,” said Shen Xiang with a smile.

They were surprised because it was the Duan Family. The Duan Family’s old man was very powerful, or else many major powers would not dare to move even those few of them.

“It’s not possible, I can’t let the secret techniques of our Duan Family be passed outside!” Old Sect Master Duan shook his head. “Because the secret technique was given to our family by Great Emperor Ten Thousand Years Ago, he also instructed us not to pass it outside!”

Shen Xiang’s thoughts shifted as he asked, “Old Sect Master Duan, have you heard of the Iron Lion Divine Army”

“Of course, it’s mentioned in the ancient records of nearly every major power. Their ancestors and our ancestors are brothers bonded by golden ties in history, but they were unlucky enough to suffer from a terrible curse. They should have already been dead.” Old Sect Master Duan sighed.

“They’re still alive. They serve me now, but their curse is not lifted!” Shen Xiang immediately answered. The relationship between the Heart Clan of Duan Family was indeed very good.

Old Sect Master Duan was suddenly agitated. “You’re serious Where are they”

“They’re under the Yin Dragon Grave, which is a dragon vein. I found them there!” said Shen Xiang with a smile.

“What” Old Sect Master Duan’s eyes widened and his body trembled slightly as he was shocked.

Yun Xiaotao and the others listened quietly. They were very curious about how Shen Xiang had found the dragon vein. At first, they heard there was a Dragon Gate in the Yin Dragon Grave and were very excited. They could become powerful sects when they met such a gate, so they trained hard.

“How did you find the dragon vein” Old Sect Master Duan was hesitant to believe. He wanted to hear how it happened.

“Imperial Crystal!” Shen Xiang said. “When I entered, because of the Imperial Crystal, it was easy to fuse with the Dragon Jewel…”

Shen Xiang narrated the situation underground, describing the majestic dragon formed naturally and Duan Family’s extraordinary craftsmanship. This made Yun Xiaotao and others amazed.

Old Sect Master Duan was confirmed that Shen Xiang’s words were true because he learned about these events when his family had collected them for many years. Shen Xiang knew more details.

“So, the Iron Lion Divine Army has followed you! Good. I’ll guide these little guys properly,” Old Sect Master Duan said with a solemn expression, turning to Shen Xiang. “Our Duan Family can’t support you now because we need to collect that historical background. It’s crucial and the reason why our Duan Family has made such sacrifices for countless years, which will also be beneficial to you in the future!”

Shen Xiang nodded. “Chang Zi will follow me.”

Old Sect Master Duan swept the others aside and narrowed his eyes, smiling slightly. “You’re all good seeds. I’ve never heard of this Dragon-Roaring Thunder Eagle, an extremely rare species…” Hmhm. The Great Tribe is also good enough. As for these little guys, although they don’t have exceptional bloodline inheritance, their roots and bones are good. They have a lot of potential to develop in the future!

As Yun Xiaotao and others were feeling pleased, Old Sect Master Duan’s expression turned dark. He became somewhat sinister, saying, “Your potential might be good, but it doesn’t mean you’ll become powerful! You guys lack solid foundations now. I have to help guide and correct you properly, otherwise you’ll waste your bodies.”

Zhu Rong’s eyebrow twitched. He forced a smile and said, “Old Madman said that too, which ended up badly for us!”

“I’ll tell you guys that the elders of Dragon Gate are very powerful. If you don’t try hard, you won’t make it as elders. Your best hope is to become officers who are just mediocre and eat for free,” Shen Xiang gave them a little stimulation.

“Old Sir, go ahead! I’ve eaten all kinds of hardship in the Great Tribe,” said Xiao Chou without fear, raising his chest proudly. His bald head shone as he looked proud and domineering.

Old Sect Master Duan chuckled darkly. “When our family’s few hopeful guys said that, too, but eventually they were crying out for mercy at the end.”

“Follow me. I’ll take you to a good place, and when you see yourself beside other people there, you’ll know the difference!”

Shen Xiang and others followed Old Sect Master Duan, running for three days and nights. They stopped at the side of the water pond. The location was very special as it was in a large area of mountains. Without Old Sect Master Duan’s guidance, they would have encountered many powerful beasts attacking them on the way and wouldn’t reach here.

The water pond was located on top of a small mountain.

“Is it here Don’t you want us to practice breathing underwater” Xiao Chou was somewhat disappointed.

Shen Xiang carefully examined the water pond. It wasn’t large, around ten or more paces wide. The water was clear and didn’t seem to have any problems, only slightly cooler.

“This is called Lightning Pond. You’ll know when you go down there. It’s suitable for strengthening your body, and our secret techniques require a good body to learn,” said Old Sect Master Duan smiling. “Yun Xiaotao took off his upper clothes.” “How powerful” he asked, then immediately jumped down. As soon as he touched the water, it suddenly let out a loud shriek like a living fish being thrown into a pot of boiling water, and his whole body was actually electrocuted black!

“You’ll exercise your anatomy here, and you can practice controlling your True Essence Qi and breathing patterns!” said Old Sect Master Duan as he jumped into the water pond, then immersed himself in it. Only his head was left exposed. This made Yun Xiaotao’s body shake as he felt like dying from a single touch, but this old guy was actually immersed.

Shen Xiang patted Xiao Chou’s head and smiled, saying, “Little baldhead, it’s your turn. Didn’t you say you’re fearless”

Then, Teng Ying went down first and let out a scream that could tear the sky apart. However, he still immersed himself in the water pond like Old Sect Master Duan, only leaving his head exposed. But he looked in great pain!

The body of the Dragon-Roaring Thunder Eagle was stronger than anyone else among them, but it still made Zhu Rong’s scalp numb.

Yun Xiaotao looked at his excess flesh and couldn’t help laughing.

Xiao Chou followed Teng Ying and walked down, only to howl in pain as soon as he touched it. But he still bit his teeth and immersed himself there, while Teng Ying was already silent at the bottom of the pond when he popped out.

Then, Xu Weilong came down. His endurance was impressive as he didn’t say a word, frowning at the bottom and then coming up again. Liang Dong only made a series of low sounds that came above, showing better results than Yun Xiaotao.

Of course, Yun Xiaotao jumped down all at once without any preparation. They walked down slowly, so they didn’t appear as awkward as Yun Xiaotao did.

“Dead pig, it’s your turn! You don’t have to be afraid. Dead pigs aren’t afraid of hot water, right This Lightning Pond shouldn’t harm you.” Yun Xiaotao laughed loudly.s, otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a massive gathering here. Even Ancient Wilderness Demon Gate's people had to be cautious when venturing inside, as otherwise they would mysteriously die.Sco...
