THE LIGHTNING EMPEROR

Like seeing a ghost in broad daylight

***

"The head of the East Wind Group and the Head of the Volcano Group immediately went up to the arena!" said Han Yuwei.

The disciples started cheering when they saw the two group leaders who were going to compete in the arena, they were both a new group that would fight to be able to enter the Ranking list.

The two heads who were already on top of the arena both had the ability of Yu Zha Level 2, the two of them immediately started the fight as Han Yuwei exclaimed to start the match.

"The disciples of this year really have more talent than in our time! Except for the last one!" sao Yi Feng said as he looked at the fight of the two group leaders in the arena.

"I think it is, now many talented children are applying to become Academy students, even though they have heard about the attack last year, yet they instead of being more and more afraid to come to be academy disciples were getting even more excited!" replied Lin Hang.

"It was all because of the young Hero who had managed to defeat one person Yu Jing and an Expert, that was, that was what made them want to become Academy disciples in order to be like Fang An who still had the ability Yu Zha was already able to defeat an Expert!" huang Yan.

"They and all of us cannot compare to him, he alone has more power than all of us, maybe if the five of us join hands to fight him, it seems like we are the ones who will lose!" sao Yi Feng said.

Bing Xuyue was only speechless watching the match in the arena as well as listening to the chatter of her friends who were talking about Fang An, her heart actually still felt pain over Fang An's departure, but he still held it even though he had to pretend to be calm, and by enduring the torment of loss and could not help his prospective partner to leave him for eternity, Bing Xuyue who looked tough but cold had worked hard in order to avenge the Red Ribbon.

"Bing Sister! Are you all right?" meng Lin asked as he looked at Bing Xuyue's increasingly cold facial expression.

Bing Xuyue turned her head towards Meng Lin while nodding softly then she looked back at the match in the arena with a cold expression.

Meng Lin knew that Bing Xuyue was actually thinking about Fang An's death, as all the disciples already knew that Bing Xuyue and Fang An had been betrothed by their parents.

Han Wang was currently replacing Bing Xuyue's position of leading the Ice Flower Group, and Han Wang's strength was already at the Yu Zha Level 8 stage, he said, it might take a little more time to break through to the Peak stage of Yu Zha.

The Star Sword Group was also replaced by Lin Ying, and the Sacred Fire group was replaced by Ling Kang, and the two groups were still in the top five, one of which was the Sky Lightning Group which still ranked first.

In the seats of the Elders, the four of them were seen still observing the course of the match, yet their feelings were still alarmed and occasionally glanced towards the black passageway that led to where the Red Lightning Core was sealed within the mountain.

Not only because the Pure Energy Red Lightning Core began to feel reduced, but they felt if there was someone who was inside the hallway, even though the road there was already covered by a seal, so it was impossible if anyone else forced their way in.

It only took some time for the match to finally finish, and it was the East Wind group who managed to win the match and were now able to enter the candidates to get the Rankings.

"The next match was the Dragon Jade Group Leader's Match against the Sacred Land Group!" said Han Yuwei and then the two group leaders both ascended to the arena.

The Dragon Jade Group was a group once led by Shin Han, but after Shin Han decided to resign as the chairman and chose to join the Sky Lightning Group, Shin Han decided to resign, the position of the head of the Dragon Jade was replaced by Yin Sao.

"Game begins!" said Han Yuwei and then Yin Sao with his huge rickshaw instantly darted out rapidly attacking his opponent.

Shin Han only sighed deeply looking at Yin Sao who already had an improvement as well as reaching the Yu Zha stage, he knew that Yin Sao had greater endurance as well as his strength was above average.

His large body as well as the bulging muscles coming out did not make his speed decrease at all, precisely Yin Sao's speed was much faster than when he was still at Yu Zhi's stage.

As all eyes were on the match, Xhang Gugu quietly checked into the hallway using his Spiritual Strength, he felt like he recognized the energy emanating from within the dark passageway, and when he was about to enter the hallway, suddenly a gust of wind energy came out of the hallway to make Xhang Gugu have to release protective energy.

Xhang Gugu immediately returned to his body and then he got up saying, "Stop this match first!" xhang Gugu said that made all eyes turn towards him.

After he finished stopping the match, Xhang Gugu immediately turned around and gazed towards the black passageway.

"Whoever is inside, I ask to come out immediately, otherwise I the Protector will act something on you!" xhang Gugu.

All eyes were now staring at the dark passage with curiosity, while Xhang Gugu was flowing his Qi and he was releasing green-colored energy into the dark passageway.

After the energy shot in, it suddenly returned to Xhang Gugu so Xhang Gugu immediately brushed it aside.

"Who's in there? Quickly get out before this passageway I destroy!" exclaim Xhang Gugu.

Xhang Gugu started emitting an extremely powerful aura and intended to direct it into the passageway, but yet Xhang Gugu had not had the time to release his aura into the dark passageway, suddenly there were sparks of blue lightning bolts coming out and scattering through the walls of the passage before finally coming out and striking towards the arena.

Yin Sao and his opponent immediately jumped to avoid the lightning strike so that the lightning strike hit the arena until it was hollow, while Yin Sao and his opponent just breathed a sigh of relief because they managed to avoid a lightning strike that was very frightening.

"This driver..?"

Yan Hang, Tang Chin, Sao Yi Feng and a few others were very familiar with the Blue lightning including with Bing Xuyue.

"Isn't this the lightning of our Chief?" jian Kang asked.

"It's not wrong, this is indeed Fang An's lightning!" yan Hang replied.

"Why does this lightning still exist, shouldn't it disappear with its owner?" ask Ying Huo.

"It doesn't seem like it, I'm sure he's still alive!" tang Chin said and then they saw the light from inside the passageway that was moving towards the outside.

The longer the light got closer, and they began to be able to see if in fact the light was a human being enveloped by a blue Lightning.

"Fang An! Is that you?" xhang Gugu and the others asked, watching the figure whose body was enveloped by the lightning element.

"Chairman Xhang and the others, how are you all doing?"

The radiant figure spoke as it walked out from within the darkness, and after the figure came out from the dark passage, they were all shocked to find out who the glowing figure was really.

"Chairman Fang! So the chairman is alive?" zang Mei exclaimed as she looked at the figure of the white-haired youth wearing bright white clothes.

Almost all eyes did not blink after knowing the figure, they were like seeing a ghost figure in broad daylight.

"Fang An! How could you still be alive after sustaining such a severe wound and falling into the sealed Red Lightning Core?" ask Xhang Gugu.

Fang An who had already retracted his Lightning Element started to look clear, his body looked taller and his face turned more mature.

All the disciples were stunned and started to recognize the figure of the young man before them, to the new disciples, they had only first seen the figure of the young man known as the hero who had fallen.

But now that the figure that was declared dead had returned after a year he was declared dead by Xhang Gugu, even his tombstone was still stuck on the top of the mountain.

Bing Xuyue's teary eyes held back her tears, yet still she had no power to hold it back so she dripped it, and it was realized by Fang An.

Fang An's body suddenly let out a small flash of Lightning and then his body disappeared then reappeared before Bing Xuyue.

Fang An instantly wiped the tears of Bing Xuyue who was staring at him, while wiping Bing Xuyue's tears, Fang An smiled as he said, "Your tears are a jewel that you shouldn't have taken out Yue Yue! Relax I'm fine!" said Fang An and then he hugged Bing Xuyue's body.

Bing Xuyue was surprised that Fang An hugged her, for the first time she was embraced by a man, even though she and Fang An had already been betrothed, yet this was the first time he had been embraced by a young man who would become his future mate.

Slowly finally Bing Xuyue returned Fang An's embrace with a calmer heart, the warmth that Fang An gave had made the turbulent feelings of Bing Xuyue's heart change and dissolve in his warmth.

"You've made me very worried!" bing Xuyue said with her soft voice.

Fang An smiled and then he let go of his embrace as he looked at Bing Xuyue's extremely beautiful face while saying, "I'm sorry for worrying you!" he said then he turned his head towards his friends and saw Sao Yi Feng and the others.

"The five of you have already reached Yu Zhu's stage? It seems like in this year you have been training hard!" fang An said.

"If compared to you who have already reached the elite Yu Zhu stage, obviously our strength is still very far behind!" sao Yi Feng replied.

"Fang An, actually what happened to you while inside the Red Lightning Core Seal, let alone you being stuck there for almost a year, if it was an ordinary person other than yourself, if it was an ordinary person, maybe that person was already crushed into dust!" said Xhang Gugu who was very curious about what Fang An had actually experienced for a year inside the Red Lightning Core Seal.
