Chapter 307: Taiyin Divine Thunder Physique, The Grand Competition Begins

The Power of the Great Void and the Power of Yin Thunder merged, beginning to reconstruct his Physical Body.

Under the tempering of the Yin Thunder, his Physical Body became even more powerful.

His bones became harder, his flesh and blood more solid, and his Meridians wider.

Time passed minute by minute.

After about six hours, Zhou Chen finally opened his eyes.

He stood up from the Yin Thunder Pool, his entire body radiating a powerful aura.

The strength of his Physical Body had increased by at least fifty percent.

Unfortunately, the Pluto Seal failed to break through, seemingly stuck at a Bottleneck.

However, Zhou Chen was already very satisfied.

Zhou Chen felt the surging power within his body.

Now, relying solely on his Physical Body, he could withstand the attacks of the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer.

[Congratulations to the Host for intercepting the Child of Destiny Gu Jifeng's Yin Thunder Pool Opportunity, triggering a ten-thousand-fold return! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Taiyin Divine Thunder Physique!]

Taiyin Divine Thunder Physique?

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment.

In the next second, a violent vibration came from within his body.

A brand new power flooded into his body—the power of Taiyin Divine Thunder!

That was a power thousands, even ten thousand times stronger than ordinary Yin Thunder, containing the Origin of Chaos.

The Taiyin Divine Thunder Physique merged into the Azure Lotus Creation Body; the two Physiques fused perfectly.

Zhou Chen's body transformed once again, reaching a brand new height.

“Taiyin Divine Thunder Physique…”

Zhou Chen raised his hand, and a bolt of silver-black Yin Thunder emerged in his palm.

The Yin Thunder contained the power of Chaos, capable of destroying everything.

Zhou Chen raised his right hand, and a bolt of silver-black lightning condensed in his palm.

This lightning was different from ordinary Yin Thunder; it was Taiyin Divine Thunder that contained a trace of Chaos Origin.

“Taiyin Divine Thunder is said to be one of the Innate Divine Thunders born when Chaos first opened.”

A sharp light flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes: “With this Physique, my comprehension of the Law of Lightning will advance by leaps and bounds in the future.”

He clenched his fist, and the Taiyin Divine Thunder danced upon it.

“Moreover, the Taiyin Divine Thunder naturally restrains all Devilish Qi and sinister things.”

The corners of Zhou Chen's mouth curled up slightly: “The Blood Demon Heaven-Swallowing Art cultivated by Mo Wuqing is perfectly countered by me. I wonder what kind of expression he will have on the day of the grand competition.”

Zhou Chen withdrew the Taiyin Divine Thunder and prepared to leave the Yin Thunder Pool.

But just as he turned around, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside the valley.

“The Yin Thunder Pool! I finally found it!”

The newcomer was none other than Gu Jifeng.

He was dressed in white, with handsome features and an otherworldly aura, and his cultivation had reached the Emperor Realm Sixth Layer.

Gu Jifeng rushed into the valley and looked at the Yin Thunder Pool with excitement, completely failing to notice Zhou Chen standing by the edge.

“Great, with the tempering of the Yin Thunder Pool, my Longevity Body will definitely be able to go a step further.” Gu Jifeng said excitedly: “When the Elite Disciple grand competition comes, I will surely be able to make it into the top ten!”

Just as he was about to jump into the pool, he suddenly saw Zhou Chen standing by the side.

Their eyes met.

The air instantly froze.

“You… you are?” Gu Jifeng was stunned.

Zhou Chen smiled: “Fellow Daoist Gu, what a coincidence.”

“Zhou… Zhou Chen?” Gu Jifeng recognized Zhou Chen, and his expression immediately became strange: “Why are you here?”

“Same as you, here to temper my Physical Body,” Zhou Chen said indifferently.

Gu Jifeng looked at the Yin Thunder Pool, then at Zhou Chen, his face turning increasingly unsightly.

He suddenly had an ominous premonition.

“You couldn't have… already used the Yin Thunder Pool, have you?”

Gu Jifeng asked cautiously.

“Yes.” Zhou Chen nodded: “I just finished.”

Gu Jifeng's face instantly collapsed.

The Opportunity he had worked so hard to find had actually been intercepted by Zhou Chen?

How many times had this happened already?

Was he born to be at odds with Zhou Chen?

“Fellow Daoist Zhou…”

Gu Jifeng forced a smile: “That… is the Yin Thunder Pool still usable?”

“It's usable, technically.”

Zhou Chen looked at the pool water: “However, the Taiyin Divine Thunder Origin in the pool has already been absorbed by me. Now, only ordinary Yin Thunder power remains.”

“The effect is probably only about one-tenth of what it was.”

Gu Jifeng almost coughed up blood.

One-tenth?

Then what use was it?

He had originally planned to use the Yin Thunder Pool to break through to the Emperor Realm Seventh Layer, but now it seemed hopeless.

“Thank you for informing me, Fellow Daoist Zhou.” Gu Jifeng took a deep breath, suppressing the frustration in his heart: “In that case, I won't disturb you further.”

After saying that, he turned to leave.

“Wait.” Zhou Chen suddenly spoke.

Gu Jifeng's footsteps paused, and he turned his head: “Does Fellow Daoist Zhou have something else?”

“Fellow Daoist Gu, I have a proposal.” Zhou Chen smiled: “How about we make a trade?”

“A trade?” Gu Jifeng frowned.

“Yes.”

Zhou Chen nodded: “I have a lightning-type Spirit Pill here called the Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation Pill, Imperial Rank High Grade. Consuming it can significantly improve your comprehension of the Law of Lightning and also temper your Physical Body.”

“The effect is even better than the Yin Thunder Pool.”

Gu Jifeng's eyes lit up: “Really?”

“Of course.” Zhou Chen took out a purple pill from his storage ring, which radiated a dense aura of thunder.

This was a pill returned by the System after he had intercepted the Opportunity of some other Child of Destiny; he had never used it.

It was just the right time to use it to do someone a favor.

“Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation Pill…” Gu Jifeng looked at the pill, his eyes full of longing.

He could feel that this pill was indeed more precious than the Yin Thunder Pool.

“What does Fellow Daoist Zhou want?” Gu Jifeng asked.

“Simple.” Zhou Chen smiled: “I want to know the specific plans of the Jiang Family and the Mo Family for the Elite Disciple grand competition.”

Gu Jifeng was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood Zhou Chen's meaning.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou wants to know the opponents' trump cards in advance?”

“Exactly.” Zhou Chen nodded: “Fellow Daoist Gu has a wide network and is well-informed in the Academy; you should be able to find out some inside information, right?”

Gu Jifeng was silent for a moment, then nodded: “I can indeed find out some things.”

“Then it's a deal.”

Zhou Chen tossed the pill to Gu Jifeng: “Tell me the news in three days.”

Gu Jifeng caught the pill and looked at Zhou Chen: “Aren't you afraid I'll take the pill and not do the job?”

“You won't.” Zhou Chen smiled: “Because you are a smart person.”

Gu Jifeng was silent for a while, finally nodding: “Fine, I will deliver the news to Green Lotus Peak in three days.”

“Then, thank you.”

Zhou Chen turned and left the valley.

Gu Jifeng looked at the Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation Pill in his hand, a complex expression appearing on his face.

“This Zhou Chen… is truly a Prodigy.” He shook his head: “Not only is his strength powerful, but his mind is also meticulous.”

“However…” Gu Jifeng clenched the pill: “With this pill, my strength can go up another level.”

“In the Elite Disciple grand competition, I must make it into the top ten to get more opportunities.”

He sat down cross-legged and began to refine the Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation Pill.

The purple thunder power flooded into his body, beginning to reconstruct his body.

Gu Jifeng's aura continued to climb, and he soon broke through the Bottleneck of the Emperor Realm Seventh Layer.

Jixia Academy, Martial Arts Field.

Today was the day of the Elite Disciple ranking battles.

The entire Martial Arts Field was packed with people; Disciples and instructors from various factions had come to watch, numbering at least ten thousand.
