I, disguised as a white dragon, was supported by the state.

Zhang Yu understood the man's concerns from his expression.

The practice of competing for research findings is not uncommon in academic circles, both domestically and internationally.

“How about this, I’ll take you up the mountain today,” Dr. Zhang said, not wanting this guy who might become close to Bai Long in the future to misunderstand. “If Mr. Bai happens to be finished with his work, then we can give it to him together. If he is still in seclusion, then we can only have Miss Guan pass it on.”

"Thank you," Liu Sheng said.

……

Chapter 84 Tribulation of Lightning!

Zhang Yu waved his hand.

After finishing his work, he greeted Liu Chongyu and then took Liu Sheng up the mountain.

On the way, he introduced the situation on the mountain to the other party and mentioned various taboos.

Liu Sheng looked like he had learned something.

He had realized that Zhang Yu was not lying to him, but the thought of being able to enter the core area where Bai Long lived filled him with longing.

The mountain is indeed very different.

The surrounding vegetation is lush and green, and the air is much fresher.

Liu Sheng looked around curiously, thinking to himself that this place truly deserved to be the habitat of the White Dragon.

Before long, the Dragon Palace came into view.

Outside the Dragon Palace is a large lawn, and a stone staircase leads through the lawn and into the Dragon Palace.

There are many flowers and trees arranged in a pleasing and orderly manner, with vibrant colors, making it exceptionally beautiful.

Zhang Yu said with a hint of pride, "Most of the landscaping trees here were personally selected and transplanted by me."

Liu Sheng was surprised: "Dr. Zhang knows about this?"

"I know a little," Zhang Yu said reservedly.

He felt a pang of sadness as he thought about how he had tried so hard to please the White Dragon, studying gardening and carving, and trekking through the deep mountains, only to receive less and less favor in the end.

"These must all be Mr. Bai's tests for me."

"I need to work even harder and make it see my sincerity!"

"It's so protective of its own, it must care about me!"

Dr. Zhang took a deep breath, trying to convince himself.

He waved to Lei Yao ahead and asked, "Old Lei, where are the others?"

Lei Yao is practicing boxing.

He is now practicing a new boxing style that Professor Bai Lin gave him.

This fist technique can incorporate dragon energy and spiritual power, and a single punch can unleash thunder!

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's voice, he lowered his fist and looked over.

Lightning still flickered between his fingers.

Zhang Yu was already used to it, but Liu Sheng was dumbfounded.

If it weren't for the fact that the name "Old Lei" was wrong, he would have suspected that the person in front of him was a white dragon in disguise.

"Miss Guan and Mengdi are by the lake. And who is this?" Lei Yao asked.

“Liu Sheng, I told you this a few days ago,” Zhang Yu said.

He then introduced Lei Yao's identity to Liu Sheng: "Old Lei is now Mr. Bai's bodyguard."

Liu Sheng stood at attention with respect: "Greetings, Guard Lei."

If the White Dragon is so powerful, how strong must its guard be?

"Haha, you can just call him Captain Lei," Zhang Yu laughed.

Seeing two figures in the distance, he quickly waved.

Seeing Guan Mi approach, he introduced him to Liu Sheng beside him, and then asked about Bai Long.

"Mr. Bai is still in seclusion. The exact time he will emerge is yet..." Guan Mi's expression suddenly changed as soon as he finished speaking.

A sudden, deafening roar came from above them.

Everyone turned their heads at the same time, looking towards the source of the sound.

Above the Dragon Palace, a dark, gloomy cloud suddenly appeared.

Layers of dark clouds piled up, obscuring the sky and bringing a heavy sense of pressure.

Lightning flashed continuously through the clouds, emitting blinding light.

what happened?

This question arose in everyone's mind.

Not to mention how strange they were, even Bai Lin, the person involved, was a bit confused.

He had reached the final step in refining the weapon; all he needed to do was infuse it with spiritual energy to succeed completely. Unexpectedly, at that moment, a terrifying pressure suddenly came from the dome.

He understood what it was.

Calamity clouds!

When high-level cultivators reach a certain level in their cultivation, they will attract tribulation clouds and undergo the test of lightning tribulation every time they break through a bottleneck in their strength.

Cultivators defy the heavens, and the tribulation of lightning is both a test and a punishment.

When Bai Lin first traveled back in time, he heard about this matter and studied it seriously. He once thought that it contained some kind of scientific principle, but later found that science could not explain this phenomenon at all.

But those who can attract tribulation lightning are those above the Nascent Soul stage!

This sudden calamity was clearly unrelated to his own strength.

Could it be one of the magical artifacts I crafted myself?

But that makes even less sense!

The power of magical artifacts is still below that of magical treasures, and magical treasures that can attract lightning tribulations all have the potential to become divine artifacts. The things he has are far from being enough!

Is it possible that lightning strikes are more likely to occur on Earth?

Bai Lin was completely baffled.

But facing the tribulation of lightning for the first time, he dared not be careless at all.

Thinking of the sect's records on dealing with tribulations, he raised his hands and formed hand seals before the tribulation clouds fully formed.

A moment later, a powerful aura soared into the sky.

……

In Guan Mi's and the others' view, the dark clouds in the sky gathered more and more, gloomy as if the end of the world was approaching.

Liu Sheng clutched his chest, feeling waves of palpitations rising within him.

Just as the entire Duck Head Mountain was almost shrouded in this dark cloud, a blinding white light suddenly appeared in the Dragon Palace and fell into the cloud layer carrying rolling thunder and lightning.

The clouds melted away like ice and snow.

In just a few breaths, the dark clouds and lightning vanished without a trace.

Sunlight streamed onto Liu Sheng's face, and he felt a sense of relief, as if he had survived a disaster.

He wiped his forehead and realized that he had unknowingly broken out in a cold sweat.

"Mr. Bai is truly amazing!" Zhang Yu exclaimed.

Lei Yao, recalling the image of the capsized aircraft carrier that Bai Lin had sent him, nodded and said, "Mr. Bai has always been very capable!"

Guan Mi held his head high and felt honored.

Bai Lin was a little confused.

He only cast a spell to test the strength of the tribulation clouds, but he didn't expect it to be dispersed so easily.

Are all the lightning tribulations on Earth just fancy but useless gimmicks?

But when the tribulation first took shape, he clearly felt threatened by it.

Bai Lin was filled with doubts, feeling that there must be some hidden story he was unaware of.

Realizing that the lightning tribulation had disappeared and that the magical artifacts in his hands had fully taken shape, he simply stopped thinking about it.

The tightly closed gates of the Dragon Palace slowly opened.

……

Guan Mi, who was at the forefront, saw this scene and a surprised smile appeared on his face.

Lei Yao unconsciously loosened his clenched fist, and his expression relaxed.

The dark clouds and lightning just now almost made him think that something had happened to Bai Long, but now that he realized that Bai Long was alright, he felt relieved.

"Shall we go see Mr. Bai?" Zhang Yu suggested.

He hadn't seen Bai Long for several days and was eager to make his presence known.

Holding the documents in his hands, Liu Sheng felt both expectant and nervous.

Guan Mi stepped forward first, followed closely by the others.

When Guan Mi saw Bai Lin sitting leisurely in the Dragon Palace, munching on an apple, he went to greet him with a happy expression.

The rest of the people stood at the door.

Only after Lei Yao sought permission did they enter the Dragon Palace.

This is Liu Sheng's first time here.

Even though he kept telling himself to stay calm, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous and curious.

He subconsciously looked around and took a liking to the layout of the Dragon Palace.

This place is quite large, but its layout is not complicated.

Aside from the somewhat conspicuous greenery scattered throughout, there are two particularly eye-catching spots.

One is the paintings hanging on the wall, which depict mountains and rivers, with the most eye-catching being a majestic white dragon.

Secondly, there's that huge display screen.

The screen is playing news.

Upon seeing the two game controllers, one large and one small, next to the sofa, Liu Sheng suddenly had a somewhat absurd thought.

Does this white dragon play games in private?

Zhang Yu spoke first, saying, "Mr. Bai, you look even better these past few days."

He wasn't disappointed when he didn't get a response. He pointed to Liu Sheng beside him and said, "This is Liu Sheng. A few days ago, you asked him to collect some materials. I brought him here today to give them to you!"

With a signal from Zhang Yu, Liu Sheng carried the thick stack of documents in both hands and walked towards Bai Lin.

Guan Mi found his nervous expression somewhat amusing.

For some reason, she thought of the scene "Ke took the map and presented it to him. When the map was unrolled, a dagger was revealed," as if this hunchbacked fellow could immediately pull a dagger out of the documents.

Feeling utterly bored, she shook her head and laughed, "Mr. Bai won't eat people."

Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment.

"Don't be so nervous," Guan Mi reminded her.

Her words indeed eased Liu Sheng's tension considerably.

Chapter 85 Water Control Flag

Stopping three meters away from Bai Lin, Liu Sheng held up the documents in his hand and said, "Mr. Bai, everything is in here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his hand loosen.

He subconsciously looked up and saw all the documents floating in front of the white dragon.
