THE LIGHTNING EMPEROR

The Sky Lightning Group

***

Fang An and his members gathered in one simple room with a fire light shining through the entire room, gathering them to discuss the matter of forming their own group.

"Before the other members come and bully us, you should immediately form this group of ours!" said Zang Mei.

"I agree with that!" said Qiao Yi.

"Friends! Our strength is still not enough to fight the strength of the other group, remember that here we are still very new, he said, even the ability of the Youth who insulted Fang An alone was at a much higher level than the rest of us, let alone the ability of that beautiful girl like the Goddess, would we be able to if one day we would clash with their group?" jian Kang asked.

Everything was only silent after recalling the cold white aura as well as the energy Bing Xuyue had released to teach Hun Wang a lesson, the enormous energy clearly made all of them only able to remain silent while recalling it.

Although they already had Fang An, but Fang An's ability was only at the level of Yu Zha Level 1, and it was very far with Hun Wang, especially with Bing Xuyue.

"I'm still confused, why does senior Hun Wang hate me so much? We met for the first time, but she hated me so much!" fang An said.

"Are you completely unaware of it!" tang Chin asked and was answered with a headband by Fang An.

"It seems that Senior Hun Wang was very jealous when Miss Bing greeted you, not to mention that I heard Senior Hun Wang say if Miss Bing had been waiting for you for these three years! I'm sure that's what makes Senior Hun Wang hate you so much!" tang Chin said.

"Could be! But such a thing is natural, it is impossible when just met and just acquainted with each other will be directly hostile to each other, right? Moreover, Senior Hun Wang is a disciple of the Ice Flower Lotus Sect, which means that he is only in charge of protecting Miss Bing, but according to my observation, he is only in charge of protecting Miss Bing, Senior Hun Wang seems to like his own young Miss!" said Gui Lang.

"So apparently! So his hatred was due to a matter of feeling," Fang An murmured.

"So how?" asked Ying Huo who had been silent since then and listened.

"It seems like this competition will continue, it could be that the Ice Flower Group will try to snatch away our energy Keys so that we can't practice! So I decided to form my own group" Fang An said.

"This is my friend?" yan Hang said while hitting Fang An's shoulder.

fang An's decision to create his own Group was like a gust of fresh wind hitting their faces, none of them were unhappy.

"We'll all be members of your group!" said Gui Lang.

"So do you already have a name for this group?" ask Qian Yi.

"Name of the group?" Fang An thought of finding a name for his group.

Fang An looked at something around him trying to find an item or anything that could be named, but not a single name was obtained before he finally remembered the powerful Aura that was within the Heaven Wind Peak mountain.

"yes too! I will name this Group after the Sky Lightning Group, do you agree?" ask Fang An.

"Group of Sky Lightning? Maybe too!" said Ying Huo.

"It is up to you to name it by what name! What is clear is that we will continue to follow you" Jian Kang said.

"Then we will fight together within the Sky Lightning Group to become the best group, and achieve our dreams together to reach the top Ranking position!" fang An said.

"We will try to train to be stronger for the Sky Lightning Group!" exclaim everything with a burning spirit.

Because the Sky Lightning Group had only been formed, so the Group did not have any Status, be it honor, rank, or recognition.

Not to mention that Fang An and his members had to look for additional new members so that the group would get bigger, and most importantly, the power within.

"In another week the other new disciples will come, we recruit them to join our group, and I'm sure Brother Tang Yuyi will definitely come too!" tang Chin said.

"Twenty more new disciples are coming soon huh, is it good to invite new members of the newly arrived disciples? It's free if the number increases but the strength of the members is still below!" said Zang Mei.

"No problem, everything does have to start from the beginning, as time passes, they will definitely become strong while training!" fang An said.

"Well, now you go back to your rooms so that tomorrow morning we are all ready to go to the front yard of the hall!" fang An said.

They all immediately disperse each of them headed to their rooms to rest, whereas Fang An also entered his room, yet he was not to go to sleep, either, but rather to make some of his stockpiles of pills depleted, as he had to make deposits for his members as well as help them also in raising their cultivation level.

***

The next morning, they had all gathered in the meeting room, and they were still waiting for Fang An who had not come out from inside his room.

After waiting for quite a long time, even the long-awaited figure finally came out from inside his room, the figure of the blue-clothed youth with his trademark white hair approached them with a cheerful smile.

"Are you all ready?" ask Fang An.

"We are so ready!" tian Chin replied.

"Then let's get out!" fang An said then they all immediately came out from inside the pavilion, and outside it turned out that Zian Fei was already waiting for them.

"Everybody follow me!" said Zian Fei and then he went to a large stone disc circle place beside the Pavilion.

"Each pavilion will have a Stone Disc drifting like this, this stone will lead us to the Peak Hall, and this stone is capable of carrying as many as two hundred people!" zian Fei said in an explanation.

Because the Peak Mountain where the Hall is located is very high, the Academy makes an alternative tool in the form of a large circular stone that will later become a means of transportation to climb to the top of the Mountain.

After they had stood on the large and wide stone disc, the stone disc suddenly lifted by itself and floated towards the Peak of the Mountain.

It turned out that not only was Fang An's group flying with the floating Stone Disc, but there were still many other Stone Dishes that also floated and carried the disciples flying to the Mountain Peak.

"This is really great! A person who possessed the Earth Element being able to move this much Stone was an extremely extraordinary thing once," said Fang An who was amazed by the figure of the Land element owner.

"Your assessment is very sharp and also good Disciple Fang! This Stone Disc was indeed made by someone who possessed the Earth Element Spirit Root, and that figure was Elder Lao Yang He!" said Zian Fei.

Zian Fei added that Lao Yang He had already inserted earth seals in each Stone dish so that the stone could fly when the seal was opened, that meant that Lao Yang He did not need to move all the Stone dishes, just with the guides who opened the seal, he said, then the Stone plate will be able to float and will automatically go to the designated place.

They all flew up the Stone Plate for approximately half an hour, and after that they saw a spacious courtyard with a three square stone in the middle of the courtyard, and the Stone dishes they climbed landed on one of the earth circles that had a seal mark, that place was indeed special for the landing site of the Stone disk.

When Fang An saw the view from the top of the mountain, everything could be seen very clearly, even though it was a long distance away, yet he could see the path he had once walked along with his members while heading to the Academy's entrance Gate.

It was just that he did not see the existence of the outer Gate, because that Gate would appear if it had entered the Energy Lock.

The group disciples began to gather, and they all occasionally looked towards Fang An's group who had also just descended from the Stone Disc.

While walking after Zian Fei, Fang An discovered the existence of Bing Xuyue's group that was gathering with its members, and there was also Hun Wang.

Hun Wang also saw the arrival of the Fang An Group, the gaze he most directed towards the white-haired youth.

Fang An also looked at Hun Wang making them stare at each other intently, yet they did nothing but look at each other.

"You all wait here until the elders come, I will go to the hall along with the other mentors!" said Zian Fei.

Everyone just nodded and Zian Fei and the Instructors went into the pagoda tower, while Fang An and his members just stood up following the advice of Zian Fei.

"Murid Fang! How are you doing, are you at home here?"

Fang An was greeted by a figure he had fought before, he was Yang Qing who had come along with his 25-member group.

"Senior Yang! Of course I'm very comfortable here" Fang An replied.

Yang Qing nodded and then he noticed all of Fang An's members saying, "I want to offer all of you to join my Blood Sword Group! Of course you all already know that it's not if it's really hard here, so you have to join groups that are there for protection and practice together, how?"

Fang An only smiled faintly, at the moment he did not know if the Blood Sword Group was at rank 37, at the moment, the position is already quite respected by other groups except groups that are in the top ranking.

"Secret Senior, we have already formed our own Group!" fang An replied thus making Yang Qing surprised.

Of course Yang Qing was expecting Fang An to join his Group, given the ability Fang An possessed to be able to defeat him, it was clear this was a great opportunity to invite him to join, moreover, Fang An had just arrived inside the academy.

But who would have thought if Fang An turned out to have made his own group, even though there had never been a new student who was determined to form his own group other than running to seek protection from other groups.

But when recalling the ability possessed by Fang An, naturally Yang Qing immediately understood it, and Yang Qing could only put on a smile filled with disappointment and regret for being late to invite Fang An to become a member.

"What's your group's name?" asked Yang Qing.

"Group of Sky Lightning!" replied Fang An.

"The Sky Lightning Group, then who is the chairman, are you alone?" ask Yang Qing again.

"Yes, Fang An is the head of our Sky Lightning Group!" answer Gui Lang.

"Owh, then congratulations! With your abilities, I'm sure your Sky Lightning Group will be able to have a Position in one of the Ranking," Yang Qing said then he looked at all the disciples present.

"I will tell you some information at once will tell you who the most powerful group is here!" yang Qing said then he started to give information going to the weakest groups to the strongest ones.

The group that counted in the top rank order was the top fifteen position, and the so-called Big or strongest rank was in the top Five ranking position.

Of course, the one in the first position is the strongest of all, not to mention to be able to enter the Ranking position, then the group must be able to defeat the group that has the Ranking, if it manages to win, then the group must be able to defeat the group that has the Ranking, then his position will be replaced by a group that has defeated him.

Yang Qing also informed the group of anyone who was already in the top Five position, and one of them that made Fang An and everyone surprised, it turned out that the Ice Flower Group was in the top Four position.

The position of the Big Five was held by the Steel Fan Group, the fourth was held by the Ice Flower Group, the third was held by the White Chain Group, the second was the Star Sword, and the first was the Holy Fire.

"These groups must have great members!" yan Hang Murmured.

"Of course, other than having great members, they are at least 40 members, and at most more than 60 members," Yang Qing replied.

"Thank you for all the senior information!" fang An said as he cupped his hands together.

"Don't be that formal, after all I already consider you as a friend, so if there's a problem later on, you can look for me in the Sixth level pavilion!" said Yang Qing.

Fang An only nodded with a smile, he realized that Yang Qing considered him a friend because he had known about his abilities, if at that time he was unable to defeat Yang Qing, it was likely that he would not be considered a friend by Yang Qing.

After chatting for quite a while, the four Elders finally came out and stood on the tower terrace precisely on the second floor for all the disciples to be able to see him speak, he said, and all the disciples who were chatting all stopped when the elders came out so that the situation became silent, and surely they were waiting for the Elders who would deliver the training they were going to undergo.
