Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

The next day.

Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, Yu Li, and Bai Xueling arrived at the agreed meeting point and found that only Qu Qu was waiting there.

"Ququ," Yege called out, then looked around. "Why are you the only one here? Where are Nangong Hanhan, Jiang Xiaoming, and Brother Feng? Are they all late?"

Ququ shook her head: "They arrived a long time ago, but seeing that you hadn't come yet, they started cultivating in the open space next to them."

"Practice?"

"Yes, Jiang Xiaoming said he wanted to master the special move you taught him before he set off."

Night Song: "..."

Xia Xiyao said, "Well... I should say it, Xiaomingzi is quite hardworking in this area."

Ye Ge and the others bypassed an advertising billboard and, sure enough, saw Jiang Xiaoming, Nangong Qiuyue, and Cang Feng practicing their special moves in an open space not far away.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

Jiang Xiaoming raised his right hand, and in his palm, a fireball crackling with deep red lightning emitted an astonishing light and sound.

Cang Feng and Nangong Qiuyue watched eagerly from the side.

"Go ahead and throw it out." Nangong Qiuyue glanced at the intact target in the distance.

“No…I can’t…”

Jiang Xiaoming's hand trembled, and the leaping fireball of lightning rose a few centimeters before vanishing into thin air with a bang.

"You've used up all your mana again while chanting?" Nangong Qiuyue said helplessly.

Cang Feng glanced at Jiang Xiaoming's right hand. Because of the long-term use of the Lightning Flame Explosion Technique, the palm of his hand was almost completely charred. At the same time, he saw that his right arm was trembling slightly and hanging down limply. He guessed that the entire arm had been paralyzed by the backlash of the lightning.

As a descendant of the White Tiger Clan, Cang Feng himself is also a transcendent being with lightning attributes. He can see how difficult the move Ye Ge taught Jiang Xiaoming is.

The lightning, compressed within the fireball, exerts a tremendous attraction on the outside world. When it is launched, the Lightning-Induced Fireball will instantly draw all surrounding objects to the center of the explosion.

However, precisely because of this, the power of lightning will also take effect when it is in the hands of the caster, and the fireball will be firmly "stuck" to the caster's hand.

This is also why Jiang Xiaoming has been unable to throw it away.

'This incredibly difficult skill is unbelievable... that Ye Ge created it when he was only ten years old. He's a terrifying prodigy...'

Cang Feng adjusted his glasses, thinking to himself, 'But this kind of difficult move is indeed a bit too much for Jiang Xiaoming to learn...'

Ye Ge and the others walked over at this moment.

"Night Song, I failed again." Jiang Xiaoming sighed, looking dejected.

He had assumed he would succeed before taking action today.

"This time, Xiaomingzi sang for a full forty-three minutes!" Nangong Qiuyue glanced at the time on her watch and said with a grin, "He's broken the record again."

"Uh." Ye Ge touched his nose: "Actually, to some extent, the longer the Lightning Flame Burst spell is chanted and compressed, and the more times it is compressed, the greater its power will be. So the fact that you can hold it in your hand for so long can be considered a kind of talent."

Jiang Xiaoming said with a long face, "But it's useless to just charge up the power and not be able to throw it out!"

"But if that's the case," Xia Xiyao tilted her head, "why don't you just hold it in your hand and smash it on the enemy?"

“That won’t work,” Cang Feng said casually from the side. “You should all have seen the power of the Lightning Flame Burst. Imagine him wielding the Lightning Flame Burst and smashing it at the enemy. What would happen to him after it explodes?”

Xia Xiyao and Nangong Qiuyue were stunned for a moment, imagining the scene in their minds.

They recalled the scene from the All Races Arena where Ye Ge unleashed a Holy Lightning Flame Burst, completely obliterating the Flame Clan's private box...

That time, it seemed that Night Song had already controlled the power...

It's easy to imagine that doing that would be no different from strapping explosives to one's body and charging at the enemy; Jiang Xiaoming would certainly be blown to pieces...

"Speaking of which, Jiang Xiaoming, with your right hand like this, are you really sure you'll be okay with what you're doing next?" Yu Li looked at Jiang Xiaoming's charred right hand. "And you just chanted for so long, your soul power must be completely depleted, right? Should we ask Ye Zi to help you heal it?"

Ye Ge then said, "That's not a problem. He now has the evil power lent to him by Zhu Yan, so his self-healing ability and soul power recovery speed are very fast."

Sure enough, in just a short while, the charred marks on Jiang Xiaoming's palms gradually faded, and the ancient evil energy was frantically repairing his injured parts.

"Is it really that difficult?" Xia Xiyao tilted her head.

"...It's incredibly difficult!" Jiang Xiaoming's face flushed red. "You'll see when you try it yourself!"

"But I don't have lightning or fire attribute soul power." Xia Xiyao turned to Gao Shenxue: "Xue'er, why don't you give it a try?"

Gao Shenxue pondered for a moment, then turned to Ye Ge and asked, "How do we do it?"

Night Song raised her hand and demonstrated: "Like this... like that... like this... use the form of a fireball spell to wrap and compress the lightning spell and the fireball spell together, and then throw it out."

other people:"......"

After listening, Gao Shenxue pondered for a moment, then raised her right palm upward and grasped her right wrist with her left hand.

Several seconds later, a fireball crackling with blue electricity appeared in the girl's hand.

Everyone around looked surprised.

"Shh!"

Gao Shenxue raised her hand and launched the fireball.

"boom--!!!"

It hit the target not far away with perfect accuracy.

"..."

Jiang Xiaoming, Nangong Qiuyue, and the others were completely dumbfounded.

"It's quite simple," Gao Shenxue commented.

Ye Ge smiled and said, "It wasn't difficult to begin with."

Everyone: "..."

......

The group left Kyoto, crossed the Great Wall, and left the territory of the empire.

When they were children, Ye Ge and the others had to take the high-speed rail to reach remote areas during their first overseas mission. But now, their abilities have improved dramatically, and they can travel on foot over short to medium distances without being much slower than those on a regular high-speed rail.

Two hours later, they arrived near Thunder Rift.

"Whoosh-"

"Whoosh-"

"Whoosh-"

Ye Ge led the group, moving with incredible speed through the mountains and forests.

As they continued forward and got closer to Thunder Rift Valley, they noticed that the trees and vegetation in the mountains were becoming increasingly sparse.

This is probably due to the special magnetic field of the Thunder Rift Valley.

Suddenly, Night Song stopped in a tree.

He narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and gestured for the people behind him to stop.
