"You devoured the True Origin Devouring Thunder and the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder!?"
Sensing the familiar energy fluctuations within Xiao Jin, Mo Yu's expression froze for a moment before he asked in surprise.
"Roar! Roar!"
As Mo Yu stood stunned by this unexpected development, Xiao Jin seemed to understand his question. With a dragon's roar, it opened its mouth, spitting out a crimson Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder and a pale white True Origin Devouring Thunder.
Watching the two powerful thunders emerge from Xiao Jin's mouth, Mo Yu's silver eyes narrowed slightly, his expression becoming thoughtful.
Apparently, during his seclusion, the Nine Profound Golden Dragon Thunder had, for some inexplicable reason, fused with the two peak-level Thunder Souls in his body. Even Mo Yu himself was clueless about why this strange phenomenon occurred.
Looking at the endearing Xiao Jin before him, Mo Yu couldn't help but pinch its soft, smooth skin, finding it oddly similar to that of a real baby. To his surprise, the energy-based Xiao Jin now seemed as tangible as a living being, its texture indistinguishable from human flesh.
At the same time, Mo Yu noticed a peculiar bond forming between himself and Xiao Jin—a connection that felt just as natural as when he controlled his Thunder Souls.
"Oh? Xiao Jin has actually become my Thunder Spirit."
Realizing this, Mo Yu's surprise quickly turned to delight as he looked at the tiny golden dragon before him.
If Xiao Jin had only felt an affinity for him before, its fusion with the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder and the True Origin Devouring Thunder had now made it akin to the twelve Thunder Souls within his body, fully recognizing Mo Yu as its master.
"This little golden dragon belongs to you?"
Arriving at the scene, Cai Lin's gaze fell on Xiao Jin, its body radiating terrifying golden lightning. Her delicate face showed a trace of astonishment as she asked.
"Uh… more or less." Scratching his nose awkwardly, Mo Yu nodded.
Becoming Xiao Jin's master so abruptly left Mo Yu slightly flustered, yet he was also intrigued by its actions.
After all, both the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder and the True Origin Devouring Thunder were peak-level Thunder Souls. However, when they began to fuse with the Nine Profound Golden Dragon Thunder, neither showed the slightest resistance and were seamlessly absorbed into Xiao Jin's body.
Had Xiao Jin not been in its infant stage, Mo Yu's control over the two Thunder Souls might have already been compromised. Fortunately, the Nine Profound Golden Dragon Thunder had only just developed intelligence. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been influenced by the other two thunders or acknowledged Mo Yu as its master.
Reflecting on this, Mo Yu felt fortunate. He had truly stumbled upon a great treasure.
Even Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Lei Clan, had failed to subdue the Nine Profound Golden Dragon Thunder. Yet, through sheer luck, Mo Yu had achieved what others could not.
At its peak, the Nine Profound Golden Dragon Thunder's power would rival that of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame or even the Void Swallowing Flame, which ranked second and third on the Heavenly Flame Rankings.
Considering the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and the Void Swallowing Flame both boasted the strength of high-level Dou Saints, even Lei Ying might not have been their match.
By this logic, the peak Nine Profound Golden Dragon Thunder would likely possess similar strength.
This also explained why Xiao Jin could easily fuse with the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder and the True Origin Devouring Thunder, even though both were in peak condition.
As Thunder Souls held hierarchical rankings, the Nine Profound Golden Dragon Thunder clearly surpassed the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder and the True Origin Devouring Thunder.
"In ancient records from my clan, there are mentions of rare Heavenly Flames manifesting into physical forms after being refined. These manifestations are called 'Fire Spirits.'
"Your Thunder Soul, being no weaker than a Heavenly Flame, might have given birth to something similar—a 'Thunder Spirit.' Could this little creature be your Thunder Spirit?" Cai Lin mused, her beautiful brows furrowing as she gazed at Xiao Jin perched on Mo Yu's palm.
"Well, you could say that." Mo Yu chuckled and nodded.
Although Xiao Jin wasn't born from the twelve Thunder Souls originally in his body, its fusion with the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder and the True Origin Devouring Thunder had made it an inseparable part of him.
"A Thunder Spirit…" Cai Lin whispered, her stunning eyes fixating on the silver-eyed youth before her in astonishment.
Both Fire Spirits and Thunder Spirits were said to be creations of the heavens and earth, so rare that even in the ancient texts of the Snake-People Tribe, they hadn't been seen for centuries.
Now, she had witnessed the birth of a Thunder Spirit firsthand, and it was created by a mere twenty-year-old youth.
At this moment, Mo Yu seemed even more extraordinary and mysterious in her eyes. Even as the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, she couldn't help but marvel at his talent.
Oblivious to Cai Lin's thoughts, Mo Yu frowned slightly and remarked, "You little rascal, you've devoured my two Thunder Souls—don't tell me they've gone to waste."
"Roar! Roar!"
Hearing Mo Yu's words, Xiao Jin raised its dragon head, its golden eyes gleaming. Opening its mouth, it gathered its thunder energy, and a golden orb brimming with terrifying thunderous power quickly took shape.
"Thunder Soul Fusion!"
Watching the orb form, composed of the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, the True Origin Devouring Thunder, and the Nine Profound Golden Dragon Thunder, Mo Yu couldn't hide his surprise.
Though he had seen Xiao Yan's Fire Spirit, Xiao Yi, merge Heavenly Flames before, witnessing Xiao Jin demonstrate Thunder Fusion still left him in awe.
"This… it's similar to your cousin's Heavenly Flame fusion, but the power is even greater. Even I wouldn't be able to withstand it," Cai Lin remarked solemnly.
Startled, Mo Yu couldn't help but feel apprehensive as he sensed the orb's destructive aura.
The golden orb, fused from three Thunder Souls, radiated annihilative energy, its golden lightning distorting the surrounding space. This single orb could threaten even high-level Dou Zongs.
"Roar! Roar!"
Sensing Mo Yu's astonishment, Xiao Jin's immature dragon face lit up with pride. It opened its mouth again, quickly producing a series of golden orbs that began orbiting its body.
"Ten Thunder Orbs!"
Seeing this, Mo Yu's mouth twitched. Even for him, forming ten Thunder Orbs at once would require considerable effort. Yet Xiao Jin had done it in mere moments—a true Thunder Spirit indeed!
"Roar! Roar!"
However, Xiao Jin wasn't finished. With a wave of its tiny dragon claws, the ten golden orbs collided, merging rapidly into one.
In just moments, a single black-gold orb formed, its surface crackling with black annihilative lightning, emanating an aura even more terrifying than before.
"Black Gold Thunder Orb!"
Exhaling softly, Mo Yu muttered the name under his breath, recognizing it as his most formidable trump card. This Black Gold Thunder Orb's power could even pose a lethal threat to high-level Dou Zongs.
"Heh, I guess I owe it to Patriarch Lei Ying. If not for him, I wouldn't have been able to create my Thunder Spirit so quickly," Mo Yu thought to himself, smiling faintly.
While Mo Yu's mastery of Thunder Soul manipulation was exceptional, creating something as powerful as the Black Gold Thunder Orb was clearly beyond his solo capabilities. It was only thanks to Xiao Jin's abilities as a Thunder Spirit that such a feat became possible.
A Thunder Spirit capable of wielding the power of the Black Gold Thunder Orb —this realization struck a chord deep within Mo Yu. He understood better than anyone the significance of this development.
Even if he ventured to the Central Plains to face formidable opponents, he now possessed unwavering confidence. With just a thought, Xiao Jin could instantly aid him in condensing thunder beads or thunder pellets at lightning speed, marking it as an extraordinary asset to his arsenal.
"Roar!"
Xiao Jin playfully twirled the Black Gold Thunder Orb around its body before snapping it up and swallowing it whole. Afterward, it affectionately nuzzled against Mo Yu's palm, acting more like a loyal pet than a powerful Thunder Spirit. The bond between them had grown unshakable.
Mo Yu smiled faintly as he petted the little dragon's head, drawing a contented rumble from Xiao Jin, whose dragon eyes squinted in bliss.
Despite having consumed the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder and the True Origin Devouring Thunder, Mo Yu knew that Xiao Jin would return them to him whenever he commanded, ensuring his training and the progress of the Extreme Spirit Thunder Technique would not be hindered.
However, advancing the art further to evolve the Heavenly Thunder Body required two more peak-tier Thunder Souls in addition to the ones he already possessed. With the True Origin Devouring Thunder secured, Mo Yu only needed to cultivate another Thunder Soul to its peak to progress to the second stage of the Heavenly Thunder Body.
"This little fellow has remarkable intelligence and immense potential for growth," Cai Lin remarked curiously. "Does it have a name?"
"Xiao Jin," Mo Yu replied with a light chuckle.
Cai Lin raised an eyebrow, her lips curling in mild disdain. "Your naming skills are... adequate, I suppose. It does suit the little creature."
Mo Yu merely smiled and turned his attention back to Xiao Jin. "Xiao Jin, return now. We're leaving."
With a well-behaved roar, Xiao Jin leaped onto Mo Yu's palm, transforming into a golden thunderbolt that seamlessly merged into his body. Now as his Thunder Spirit, Xiao Jin had become an integral part of him, eliminating the need to hide within his sleeves like before.
"Let's go. After six months of seclusion, it's time to step out." Mo Yu glanced at the ravaged peak where he had broken through to the Dou Huang realm, his silver eyes reflecting a mix of emotion and relief.
Finally, he had achieved the rank of Dou Huang.
Mo Yu's mind wandered to the past. When he first left Wu Tan City, he had encountered Yun Yun in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, and a serendipitous misunderstanding had sparked a subtle connection between them. That encounter had led to the Five-Year Agreement: Mo Yu had to ascend to the rank of Dou Huang within five years.
For someone from a small clan, such a challenge seemed laughably impossible—even Yun Yun herself likely hadn't believed in his potential. Yet Mo Yu had defied all odds. With the Five-Year Agreement fast approaching, it was time to honor that promise and settle his blood feud once and for all.
As he reflected, a subtle shift in Cai Lin's expression caught his attention. Her face darkened, and a sharp huff escaped her lips. A woman's intuition told her Mo Yu's thoughts lingered on someone else, a realization that irked her deeply.
Without another word, Cai Lin turned on her heel and strode toward Mo City, leaving Mo Yu behind.
"Uh… Cai Lin, wait for me!" Mo Yu called out, baffled by her sudden mood shift. Activating his silver Dou Qi wings, he gave chase, though he struggled to keep up with Cai Lin's speed.
Despite his newfound strength as a Dou Huang, Cai Lin's Dou Zong-level mastery placed her far beyond his reach when she was determined to outpace him.
Half an hour later, Mo City—Yuan Manor.
Out of breath and defeated, Mo Yu found himself back at the Yuan Manor. Though his strength now rivaled some four- or five-star Dou Huang practitioners, Cai Lin's skill and determination were beyond him. Shaking his head in resignation, he decided to find her and apologize.
Yet as he approached, a tense atmosphere in the Yuan Manor immediately caught his attention.
As the dominant force in the Black-Corner Region, Yuan Manor faced little opposition apart from Jia Nan Academy. But now, the heavy air suggested the presence of a formidable threat.
Mo Yu's expression hardened as a thought crossed his mind. A certain faction from the Black-Corner Region surfaced in his memory.
Before he could dwell on it further, a group of Yuan Manor experts approached swiftly, their auras sharp and unyielding.
"Who dares trespass in Yuan Manor!?"
The shout, laced with sword energy, came from a group of sword-wielding guards led by Qiu Shui, the first expert Mo Yu had recruited to Yuan Manor. Known as the "Death Sword," Qiu Shui had been tasked with safeguarding the manor's security.
"Manor Lord!" Qiu Shui's eyes widened as he recognized Mo Yu, and he quickly sheathed his sword. Bowing deeply, he said, "Forgive me for the offense, Manor Lord. I did not realize it was you."
"It's fine," Mo Yu replied, waving a hand dismissively. As an experienced member of Yuan Manor, Qiu Shui had grown stronger under its resources, reaching the level of a three-star Dou Wang. Though not particularly powerful by Yuan Manor's standards, his diligence earned Mo Yu's trust.
However, Mo Yu's gaze sharpened as he observed the heightened vigilance around the manor. "What happened? Why is the manor on such high alert?"
Qiu Shui's expression grew solemn as he reported, "Manor Lord, over the past two months, the Demon Flame Valley and Black Emperor Sect have joined forces to launch attacks on Yuan Manor!"
