One person: Lu family bodyguard, who shattered Longhu Mountain with a single palm strike.

The situation on the field changed again.

Having been instantly defeated and driven to the brink of despair, Zhang Chulan struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with humiliation and resentment.

"Why... can you all do it so easily..."

"I refuse to accept this!!!"

With a roar, Zhang Chulan slammed his hands together.

A completely different power suddenly erupted from his body!

It was no longer pure golden light, but rather crackling white arcs of electricity!

The violent lightning-attribute true qi raged through the forest, and the surrounding air became scorching hot.

It is the secret of the Celestial Master's Mansion—Yang Five Thunders, Crimson Palace Thunder!

"Thunder magic?!" This startled not only Feng Yaya, who was hiding in the shadows, but also Ye Xing and Ji Yun.

A hint of undisguised jealousy and surprise flashed in Zhang Lingyu's eyes, but it quickly turned into a hint of approval.

He snorted coldly, and his aura suddenly became gloomy and viscous.

"This is finally starting to get interesting."

Zhang Chulan's eyes turned bloodshot, and lightning gathered in his right palm as he slammed it down: "Take this!"

Facing the domineering Yang Wu Lei, Zhang Lingyu neither dodged nor avoided, and also raised her right hand.

In the palm of his hand, a dark, black lightning bolt quietly condensed, emanating a cold and damp aura.

Yin Five Thunders, Water-Dirty Thunder!

"Palm Thunder!" the two shouted simultaneously.

"boom!"

Two bolts of lightning, one white and one black, collided violently in mid-air.

After a mere two seconds of stalemate, the black, filthy lightning, like a swamp that devours everything, instantly shattered Yang Wu Lei and continued its relentless attack on Zhang Chulan's chest.

Just as Zhang Chulan was about to be hit, a thin, dark figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Bang!"

Feng Baobao kicked Zhang Chulan aside with a blank expression, and at the same time swung the mud-covered kitchen knife, using unreasonable brute force to accurately strike the center of the two bolts of lightning.

"laugh--"

The violent power of Yin-Yang Thunder Technique was actually severed by a kitchen knife and vanished without a trace.

Feng Baobao withdrew her hand, glanced at Zhang Lingyu, and then at Zhang Chulan.

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

After a while, Zhang Lingyu withdrew his thunder magic and gave Feng Baobao a deep look, seemingly realizing that this woman was not someone to be trifled with.

He took a deep breath to calm his inner energy, then looked at Zhang Chulan and spoke in a calm tone.

"I approve of you. Zhang Chulan, you can participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony at Longhu Mountain next month."

After saying that, he turned and left with Yexing and Jiyun without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Feng Yaya, who was hiding in the shadows, stuck out her tongue. After receiving the news of Feng Shayan's retreat, she also picked up her mascot costume and ran away.

Seeing that all the main characters had left and the plot was over, Lin Mo, who was in the tree, stretched with satisfaction and patted Lu Linglong.

"That's it for today, time to head back to the hotel."

The two figures flashed and disappeared silently into the night.

Only Zhang Chulan, filled with resentment, and Feng Baobao, expressionless, remained on the spot.

"Damn it!" Zhang Chulan slammed his fist on the ground. "That white-haired bastard! He's too arrogant!"

"He's much stronger than you; you really can't beat him right now."

Feng Baobao stated the facts calmly, "For the next month, you will have to train with me. Otherwise, if you run into him again, you will definitely get a severe beating."

As they were talking, Feng Baobao suddenly wrinkled her nose and turned to look at the big tree where Lin Mo and Lu Linglong had just been hiding.

"What's wrong, baby... Master? Is there someone else over there?"

Zhang Chulan was so nervous that he was on edge and swallowed hard.

Feng Baobao tilted her head, a rare look of confusion in her eyes. She stared in that direction for a while before slowly saying, "It's gone now, it just left. But... the smell over there is familiar, I feel like I've encountered it before."

In her mind, a vast and terrifying white-gold true qi, as bright as the blazing sun, seemed to appear.

"Who is it? Do you know them? Are they an enemy or a friend?" Zhang Chulan asked, puzzled.

Feng Baobao scratched her messy hair and gave a very simple evaluation in a very serious tone.

"I don't know. But that person... could probably kill me with a single slap."

Zhang Chulan: "...Huh?"

He gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"What kind of person could kill you with a single slap?! Are there really such psychopaths in this world?!"

Feng Baobao nodded, her tone remaining flat: "Okay, let's go. A month of special training."

……

Back in the SUV at the hotel.

Feng Yaya, still in shock from what she had just witnessed, turned around excitedly.

"Sister Lu, Mr. Lin, did you see that just now? Zhang Chulan can actually use lightning magic!"

Lu Linglong nodded, her delicate brows furrowing slightly: "I saw it. But I heard my grandfather say that thunder magic is a closely guarded secret of the Celestial Master's Mansion. Even among high-ranking elders, only a very few qualified to inherit the position of Celestial Master can learn it."

"How could an outsider like him know this? Could it be that his grandfather, Zhang Xilin, was from the Celestial Master's Mansion?"

"Our Tianxia Society has investigated," Feng Shayan, who was driving, said casually as she turned the steering wheel. "Zhang Xilin's file is very clean, as if it appeared out of thin air, and has no connection with the Celestial Master's Mansion."

"That's really strange. It couldn't have been learned in a dream, could it?"

Lu Linglong muttered to herself, subconsciously glancing at Lin Mo beside her, who was resting with his eyes closed and maintaining a professional silence.

How could she forget that the person next to her was a reincarnated powerful figure who almost ascended to immortality!

"Hey, you know so much, you must know, right? Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Lin Mo leaned back in his leather seat, not even lifting his eyelids: "I know."

"Really? Tell me quickly!" Lu Linglong's eyes lit up.

"But why should I say it?"

Lin Mo countered with a standard smile.

"Ms. Lu, according to the contract, I am only responsible for your safety. Providing high-level consulting services such as confidential information about the supernatural world will incur additional charges."

A brief silence fell over the carriage.

Feng Shayan's lips twitched slightly, while Feng Yaya opened her mouth wide.

Lu Linglong gritted her teeth in anger, knowing full well that this guy wouldn't act until he saw a clear benefit.

She deftly pulled out her phone and her fingers flew across the screen.

"Ding—WeChat Pay received, 1,000 yuan."

Upon hearing the pleasant notification sound, Lin Mo opened his eyes, and the smile on his face instantly became more genuine.

He cleared his throat and leaned forward slightly.

"Since the boss is so willing to pay, I'll reveal some trade secrets to you."

"The reason why we can't find it is very simple—because Zhang Xilin is an alias he used after he went into hiding."

"A pseudonym?!" The three women in the car exclaimed in unison.

"No wonder we couldn't find it even after using so many resources!" Feng Shayan suddenly realized.

Lin Mo leaned back in his chair and dropped a bombshell: "As far as I know, his grandfather's original name was Zhang Huaiyi."

"He is not only a direct disciple of the previous generation of Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing, but also a fellow disciple who grew up with the current Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei."

"His thunder magic was personally taught by the Old Celestial Master, and even his surname 'Zhang' was bestowed upon him by the Old Celestial Master."

Lu Linglong covered her mouth in shock: "Fellow disciples?! So Zhang was actually using an alias... Then if he was qualified to inherit the position of Celestial Master and had a bright future, why did he later betray the sect and become one of the Thirty-Six Bandits of the Jia Shen Year?"

Lin Mo turned to look at the rapidly receding street scene outside the window, his gaze becoming deep, and he casually uttered the answer.

"Because in that turbulent era, after he came down from the mountain, he met an extremely peculiar person."

"Who?" Feng Shayan's heart was also in her throat, and she couldn't help but ask.

Lin Mo turned around, meeting the curious gazes of the three people.

He slowly uttered a name that was considered taboo among the older generation in the world of supernatural beings.

"The core leader of the Thirty-Six Thieves' sworn brotherhood, and also the previous leader of the Quanxing Sect—Wugensheng."
