Best Young Master

"Is it starting here?"

Ye Fan murmured to himself.

"Ye, what do the ghost talismans on this broken arm bone mean?"

Bai Yan wolf couldn’t understand the ancient text of the Human Race, so he asked Ye Fan.

"I can’t fully recognize it either. The general meaning is, this is the true Gate of Trial. Once you step out of it, the real ordeal begins!" Ye Fan explained the meaning of the text on the arm bone.

"What does that mean? Are we not even in the real entry phase after these three months?" Bai Yan wolf complained.

For the past half month, it had felt suffocated, crossing countless Ancient Stars without seeing even a single blade of grass.

If this wasn’t the real ordeal, how terrifying would the true ordeal be?

Soon, they understood the true meaning of the text. On this Ancient Star, they couldn’t sense any trace of the altar’s presence.

"Is the path ahead broken?"

Ye Fan’s heart skipped a beat; this was not a good sign.

Yet, upon reflection, it couldn’t be. If the path ahead was broken, then the Great Demon and others should all be on this Ancient Star. But since they aren’t here, they must have found an altar and crossed over.

Eventually, they spent half a month relying on Bai Yan wolf’s unparalleled nose to find the small one-way transmission altar beneath the yellow sand.

All the altars were the same, built with eight types of Outer Domain Divine Stones. However, the altar on this Ancient Star was much smaller, and its aura was contained, making it impossible to find without getting close.

Those white bones were victims who couldn’t find the altar and lost their lives here, expending all life energy and being buried.

"Buzz!"

In a flash of brilliance, Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf formally stepped onto the path of the strongest trial.

In the Void Channel, Bai Yan wolf excitedly howled, perhaps their next destination would be an Ancient Star brimming with life.

In the Void Channel, time was chaotic, sometimes static, sometimes flowing rapidly. Ye Fan was already familiar with this and wasn’t surprised.

Bai Yan wolf, being a Grandmaster Level array patterns expert, often traversed the void and was accustomed to the channel’s environment.

Soon, a heavy, oppressive aura enveloped them as Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf emerged from the star gate, finding themselves in a mysterious world.

"Snap!"

"Boom..."

The Ancient Star was saturated with a dense Thunderbolt Aura. Lightning frequently struck down from the sky, the landscape scarred and desolate.

The Thunder Power within Ye Fan felt stimulated and began to accelerate its circulation, with his pores greedily absorbing the Thunderbolt Aura.

"What kind of planet is this?"

Ye Fan was astounded. How could humans survive in such an environment?

Not just humans; with frequent lightning strikes, how could any creature survive here?

Yet, Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf were exceptions. Upon arriving here, it felt like coming home. The dense Thunderbolt Aura posed no threat but instead nourished them.

Gazing at the continuously striking lightning, Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf pressed on to find the altar on this Ancient Star. Given this environment, they despaired of finding life; without mastery over Treasure Techniques of Thunder, survival seemed impossible.

Currently, Ye Fan’s greatest fear was that the altar here had been destroyed by the rampant lightning. If so, they’d be utterly stranded.

Flying forward for eighty thousand li, Ye Fan suddenly saw lush Thunderfire Grass flourishing in the valley ahead, amidst even denser Thunderbolt Aura, nearly liquefied.

"How is this possible?"

Ye Fan was astonished; the Thunderfire Grass was familiar to him, having seen it in the Thunder Realm of Xuanwu Sect, even harvested quite a bit.

While not considered Divine Medicine, it was definitely higher-grade than Spiritual Medicine, on par with Treasure Medicine, filled with the pure, vigorous thunder energy, making it ideal for countering Yin Cold Divine Power.

The valley stretched several thousand li, seemingly endless, filled with Thunderfire Grass, thriving under the dense Thunderbolt Aura.

This was unsurprising; in such an environment, aside from Thunderfire Grass, other beings struggled to survive. Their journey thus far revealed only rocks and deserts; even the resilient cactus couldn’t survive here.

"So much Thunderfire Grass!"

Bai Yan wolf exclaimed.

Though he followed Thunder Venerable master late, he recognized the ordinary Treasure Medicine that was Thunderfire Grass.

Back then, Thunder Venerable master used Thunderfire Grass to temper his body; without it, how could his Silver Moon Wolf Clan bloodline’s physique withstand Ye Fan?

"Once, Thunder Venerable master walked this strongest trial route. Could this Ancient Star be connected to him?" Bai Yan wolf pondered, looking around questioningly.

Ye Fan also felt that this ancient star should have some connection with the Thunder Venerable, otherwise, it couldn’t possibly have such a dense Thunderbolt Aura.

"Old Bai, you’ve followed the Thunder Venerable for years, do you know of his origins? Is he truly an indigenous inhabitant of Linxian Ancient Star, or did he traverse from other Star Domains?" Ye Fan asked the Bai Yan wolf.

At this moment, he seriously suspected that the Thunder Venerable originated from this ancient star; otherwise, how could he have created the Thunderclap Treasure Skill, a technique comparable to the Emperor Technique?

"Kid, I know what you’re thinking, but it’s absolutely impossible. The Supreme Elder is definitely not from beyond the domain; he is truly an authentic Linxian Ancient Star native, without a doubt!"

The Bai Yan wolf glanced at Ye Fan, with an expression saying that if you keep thinking that way, I’ll be angry.

The two descended upon this valley, picking a large quantity of Thunderfire Grass. Although this Treasure Medicine was abundant here, it was extremely rare on the Linxian Ancient Star, as it only grows in places with very dense Thunderbolt Aura, which makes the conditions too harsh.

"No, this star must have a connection with the Thunder Venerable. If he didn’t originate from this ancient star, then he certainly left something on this ancient star," Ye Fan said with certainty.

Since the Thunder Venerable had stepped onto the Xing Kong Gu Road, he must have visited this ancient star. Such a dense Thunderbolt Aura couldn’t have just been from the star’s original environment; it must be some kind of arrangement that the Thunder Venerable set in place here.

"Let’s search and see!"

Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf quickly began exploring this ancient star. Although it was far from being as large as Linxian Ancient Star, roughly the size of one of its domains, it was still quite vast.

Fortunately, both Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf possessed the world-renowned speed of the Chasing Star Step.

With the Chasing Star Step fully deployed, Ye Fan’s Divine Sense was completely opened, scanning everything around him at full speed.

He now had a very powerful Divine Sense; once he released it, everything within thousands of miles was reflected upon his sea of consciousness.

"Oh? Such a thick Death Aura!"

After exploring for several hundred thousand miles, he suddenly detected that the front was filled with an intense Death Aura.

"What’s going on? How can there be such a dense Death Aura on a planet filled with Thunderbolt Aura?" Ye Fan was puzzled.

The Thunderbolt Aura is extremely violent, representing the highest Yang, the nemesis of Death Aura. How could there still be such a dense Death Aura on an ancient star filled with Thunderbolt Aura?

From that thick Death Aura, Ye Fan immediately determined that the level of Death Aura here was not much weaker than the Undead Holy Gold on the Luan Gu Star.

On an ancient star, both Thunderbolt Aura and Death Aura are rolling together, which is absolutely not normal. Moreover, it seems that these two auras are vaguely restraining each other, although constantly colliding, neither can do anything to the other.

"Ye, come quickly, I’ve found living humans!"

Just as Ye Fan was about to probe further, he received a divine consciousness Transmission from the Bai Yan wolf in his sea of consciousness, suddenly shocked that there could actually be human survival on such a planet?

This was too unbelievable!

He immediately rushed to the location of the Bai Yan wolf and from afar, he could see a young man gathering a Thunder Fire Immortal Lotus growing on a cliff.

The Thunder Fire Immortal Lotus was of a much higher grade than Thunderfire Grass, it could already be called a Divine Medicine, and judging by the size of this Thunder Fire Immortal Lotus, it had definitely been growing for tens of thousands of years, making it a minor elixir.

The Bai Yan wolf was eagerly watching as the young man collected the Thunder Fire Immortal Lotus, wanting to snatch it several times but not daring to.

It could see that although this young man looked young, his strength was definitely not low. If it recklessly tried to snatch it, it would undoubtedly be courting disaster for itself.

Hence, it hurriedly called for Ye Fan via divine consciousness Transmission, hoping Ye Fan would take action to seize the Thunder Fire Immortal Lotus.

To it, treasures are of utmost importance, never missing any valuable items. It had only seen such high-grade items like the Thunder Fire Immortal Lotus in the hands of the Thunder Venerable and naturally recognized it.

In the later years of the Thunder Venerable, he had even obtained one for it to consume, so it knew that the Thunder Fire Immortal Lotus was a good thing.

"Let’s act together, that guy is definitely not our match. Let’s snatch the Thunder Fire Immortal Lotus and split it equally, shall we?" The Bai Yan wolf coaxed Ye Fan.

"I never expected that there would still be indigenous inhabitants on this ancient star!"

Ye Fan exclaimed, then warned the Bai Yan wolf: "Don’t get any bad ideas; since he’s an indigenous inhabitant of this ancient star, then he certainly isn’t alone. While we are indeed here for training, we shouldn’t be recklessly making enemies, right?"

After Ye Fan made his appearance, the young man clearly noticed them as well and walked straight over.

Ye Fan, along with the Bai Yan wolf, walked toward him, having a lot of questions that perhaps this young man could help to answer!

As they got closer, Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf both keenly sensed that the young man contained a fierce Thunder Power within, and even on his surface, there were purple electric arcs flickering, which surprised them greatly.

Upon seeing Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf, the young man didn’t appear surprised but calmly said, "You’re here for the trials, right? The Transmission Altar is in the secret land of my Lei Clan tribe. Each of you must slay ten Death Creatures to gain the qualification to access the Transmission Altar and proceed to the next place."

"Do we really need to slay Death Creatures?"

The Bai Yan wolf glanced at the place where the young man had placed the Thunder Fire Immortal Lotus and said discontentedly.

"This has been the rule since ancient times. Otherwise, you can stay here indefinitely until you’re willing to slay ten Death Creatures."

The young man of the Lei Clan shot two beams of light from his eyes into Ye Fan’s eyes, conveying the location of the Lei Clan tribe to him, then turned away without any pause.
