Chapter 475: Return to the Void Thunder Pool!

Seeing the familiar figure, Xiao Ze smiled and greeted, "Senior Hei Qing, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

"Haha, I don't dare accept the title of 'senior' from you now," Hei Qing laughed, scratching his head. "I've heard about you on the Ancient Dragon Island. The new president of the Pill Tower, a revered ninth-grade alchemist."

"I'm friends with Zi Yan, and since you're her elder, you deserve the title of senior," Xiao Ze said with a smile, bringing Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin forward.

"I didn't inform you in advance about this visit. I hope it's not an inconvenience?"

"Xiao Ze, your help to our Ancient Void Dragon clan has been immense. There's no such thing as an inconvenience. Please, follow me," Hei Qing replied courteously, leading Xiao Ze and his companions into the Ancient Dragon Island.

Soon, they arrived at the palace of Elder Zhu Li. Standing in front of the palace, Elder Zhu Li looked at Xiao Ze and was slightly surprised, unable to discern Xiao Ze's strength.

"What brings you to the Ancient Dragon Island, Xiao Ze?" Elder Zhu Li asked after some pleasantries.

"As a ninth-grade alchemist and the president of the Pill Tower, you must be very busy. You wouldn't come here unless it's something important."

"Elder Zhu Li, I intend to go to the Void Thunder Pool again to further refine my lightning abilities. I also wanted to check on Zi Yan's progress," Xiao Ze explained.

"Zi Yan is still in seclusion in the Dragon Hall. She's stable, and her strength is steadily increasing," Elder Zhu Li replied, a joyful expression spreading across his face as he spoke of Zi Yan.

As a long-lived elder of the Ancient Void Dragon clan, Elder Zhu Li had witnessed its peak. The clan's fragmentation due to internal conflict pained him deeply. If Zi Yan could refine the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and become a Dou Saint, she could rightfully become the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon clan.

"That's good to hear," Xiao Ze nodded, pleased that Zi Yan was making progress. He had personally helped her refine the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, ensuring she could absorb its energy smoothly without turning into a crystalline form and becoming a dragon encased in amber.

"By the way, my two friends here can't train in the Void Thunder Pool. They'll need to stay on the island for a while," Xiao Ze mentioned.

"Of course, Xiao Ze. Feel free to go to the Void Thunder Pool. We will provide the best training facilities for the two ladies here," Elder Zhu Li promptly assured.

Xiao Ze didn't stay long on the island. After settling Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin, he bid farewell to Elder Zhu Li and Hei Qing, setting off alone for the Void Thunder Pool. With the coordinates known, he didn't need Hei Qing's assistance.

Besides, he suspected that other dragon kings might send troublemakers to the island, and it would be beneficial for Hei Qing to stay back and handle them. Though this was just a consideration, it wasn't certain if those troubles would arise due to Xiao Ze's intervention in the timeline.

In the Void Thunder Pool, a silver lightning bolt hovered at the entrance. Xiao Ze, arriving at the pool, smiled.

This time, he intended to transform his inner lightning power completely into Black Demon Lightning. Xiao Ze's figure turned into a flash of lightning, diving into the pool. With his current lightning power, the surrounding bolts avoided him.

Enveloped in silver lightning streaked with hints of black, Xiao Ze's presence made the surrounding lightning bolts shy away, not daring to approach. His speed allowed him to traverse the pool's outskirts quickly.

As he saw a hint of blackness in the silver world, Xiao Ze raised an eyebrow. "Principal, must you provoke this Black Demon Lightning?"

Xiao Ze saw an elderly figure rushing out from the depths of the Void Thunder Pool. It was Mang Tian Chi, the principal of the Jia Nan Academy.

Mang Tian Chi, unaware of Xiao Ze's presence until he spoke, was startled and turned to see Xiao Ze leisurely observing. "You rascal, seeing me in trouble and not lending a hand!" Mang Tian Chi grumbled, blowing his beard and glaring.

"I saw you enjoying yourself," Xiao Ze teased, shielding Mang Tian Chi with a lightning barrier to fend off the Black Demon Lightning's attacks.

Finally escaping the lightning, Mang Tian Chi approached Xiao Ze, eyeing him curiously. "Ridiculous! What kind of monster are you now?"

"I recently broke through to the late stage of a one-star Dou Saint," Xiao Ze answered.

Mang Tian Chi was stunned. He had thought Xiao Ze was at the half-saint level, like himself. But Xiao Ze had already become a genuine Dou Saint.

"You monster!" Mang Tian Chi exclaimed. "Among the younger generation of ancient clans, you're probably the foremost talent."

"Even compared to you, those kids in my clan give me endless headaches. Last time, they were severely injured during the Yanmo trial. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left so abruptly without saying goodbye."

Xiao Ze smiled, not commenting on the clan's issues. "With your strength, Principal, reaching the Dou Saint level is just a matter of time."

"Enough flattery. Are you here to explore the depths of the Void Thunder Pool?" Mang Tian Chi asked.

"Yes, I want to transform my lightning power into Black Demon Lightning," Xiao Ze confirmed.
