Chapter 578: Loch Ness Monster, a Unique Domain
Present time, by Loch Ness in England.
Yang Yan stood on the top of a giant fir tree with Lei Ming.
"Teacher, we've been here for two months. Are we going to keep waiting like this?"
Whether due to family reasons or something else, Lei Ming gave the impression of being a girl who was weak both inside and out.
"Just wait! Because of your own constitution, a place like the academy cannot bring you greater growth."
"What you need now is experience. With your talent, if you want to continue to improve, then I must first enhance your perspective."
Yang Yan looked at Lei Ming and said with a smile.
After Zhou Hanyun and Han Ruyu left the academy, he also took Lei Ming out.
As for the academy, it was completely left to the Metal Knight and the Blue Sky Knight.
In his words, he wanted to train Lei Ming to become the Thunder Emperor!
Regarding Yang Yan's words, the Blue Sky Knight was fine with it, but the Metal Knight wouldn't believe a single punctuation mark.
Although he also admitted that Lei Ming indeed had a lot of potential.
But so did others!
Why did this guy take only Lei Ming out?
If it wasn't for Yang Yan being lazy and afraid of trouble, finding a seemingly grand reason to fool himself, he wouldn't believe it no matter what.
And two months ago, after Yang Yan informed him, he didn't even seek his opinion and directly took Lei Ming to England.
"Is there really a water monster in this lake?"
Lei Ming looked at the emerald lake water and asked skeptically.
"Yes! There is!"
Yang Yan said with a smile.
Loch Ness, located in a deep canyon on the backside of the Scottish Highlands in England.
The lake is over thirty kilometers long and more than two kilometers wide at its widest point.
In terms of area, it's not particularly large, but the lake is exceptionally deep.
The average depth is astonishingly two hundred meters!
Moreover, the lake never freezes throughout the year, with steep shores and dense forests.
The northern end of the lake connects to rivers leading to the North Sea, traversing the entire northern part of the highlands, making it the third largest freshwater lake in England.
Of course, these are not the most important things.
The most important is that there has always been a legend of a strange creature here—the Loch Ness Monster.
As early as over fifteen hundred years ago, this legend already existed here.
Back then, stories circulated about a giant beast in Loch Ness frequently emerging to devour people and livestock.
In ancient times, some even claimed to have sighted such monsters.
Some said it had a long trunk like an elephant, with a soft and shiny body.
Others described it as having a long neck and round head.
There were even more exaggerated claims that when the monster appeared, foam would gather, and it would breathe smoke.
Anyway, the stories varied, leading the legend of the Loch Ness Monster to spread increasingly far and wide, becoming more mystical.
However, Yang Yan knew that many of those things were fake.
Of course, the existence of the water monster is real.
It's just that it never resides in this lake; it just occasionally comes here to get some food.
"Teacher, are we going to attack this water monster?"
Lei Ming asked worriedly.
Despite her strong inherent strength, this little girl was still somewhat lacking in confidence.
Yang Yan chuckled lightly:
"Why attack it? I brought you here just to let you see some of the abilities this guy possesses. This will greatly help you in mastering your own domain."
"Besides, I might be able to attack it. You'd probably be doomed before you even catch a glimpse of it."
Lei Ming was quite convinced of Yang Yan's words.
This had already been proven when Yang Yan first made a move in front of her two months ago.
Now, all she needed to do was to keep advancing under Yang Yan's guidance.
"Ah! That's not right?"
After waiting for a long while, Yang Yan couldn't help but mutter in confusion:
"Why hasn't this guy come out yet? The fish in here should have grown quite big by now..."
Hearing his words, Lei Ming just obediently stood by.
Although she didn't quite understand, she didn't ask more questions.
After about half a minute, the calm lake surface began to ripple with waves.
"Te-teacher—"
Lei Ming looked at the waves on the lake surface, grabbed Yang Yan's arm, and stammered.
"Shhh—"
Yang Yan quickly made a gesture to be silent and used soul communication to say:
"Quietly, very quietly! Just observe yourself, don't startle it. Although it's not weak, it's just as timid as you are."
The two waited for about ten seconds, and suddenly a huge black shadow emerged in the center of the lake.
This black shadow seemed to be searching for something, continually swimming back and forth in the water.
"Notice anything?"
Yang Yan looked at Lei Ming and continued to use soul communication to ask.
"Yes, I noticed. That monster seems to have some kind of power separating itself from the lake water."
"So, we can't see its appearance; we can only see a black shadow."
Lei Ming said seriously.
Yang Yan said with satisfaction:
"Haha! You can be taught. Keep watching! The power on it is also a type of domain."
"Moreover, it's a very unique spatial domain. So, when people here claim to have seen its true form, they're all lying!"
"With its character of loving to hide itself, how could it possibly let anyone see its true form?"
The Loch Ness Monster came quickly and went just as fast.
In no time, it completely vanished without a trace, and the lake surface quickly returned to calm.
"Alright, let's go! Getting you to see this guy means these two months weren't wasted."
"As for what you can learn from it, that will depend on you."
Yang Yan stretched lazily and spoke normally.
And Lei Ming, as if she hadn't heard Yang Yan, just stood there foolishly.
About half an hour later, Lei Ming finally came to her senses.
She looked at Yang Yan somewhat confusedly, hesitantly saying:
"Teacher, I think I've understood something. But... upon thinking carefully, it seems like I don't understand anything."
Yang Yan just laughed:
"Haha! That's fine, having some insight is quite good, leave the rest to ponder later!"
After saying this, Yang Yan suddenly leapt up and jumped directly towards the deep water area of Loch Ness below.
"Teacher, wait for me!"
Lei Ming called out, then almost without hesitation, jumped down following Yang Yan.
In June, a refreshing summer breeze swept across the entire lake.
Yang Yan and Lei Ming walked on the water surface of Loch Ness as if it were solid ground.
"Alright, these two months of waiting were just for you to see the domain on it. As for the rest, you'll have to go back to the academy and think it over.";
Yang Yan looked at Lei Ming and said seriously.
