Chapter 72: Chapter 72 (Seeking First Subscription) The Appearance of the Thunder Dragon
Outside the Dragon Soul Ancient Tree.
"Damn! The seventh challenge was actually passed!"
"I never thought I’d live to see the content of the eighth challenge trial!"
"What to do! I’m actually feeling a bit excited!"
Many people from the tribe had a feeling of witnessing history.
Although the High Priest also passed the seventh challenge, that was almost a hundred years ago. Most people in the tribe had never seen what the eighth challenge trial looked like.
"Girl, what do you think of that young man? If you fancy him, I’ll go ask about him for you later!"
A burly man from the tribe half-jokingly asked his daughter.
Such a talented Spirit Master should stay in the Thunder Dragon Tribe!
——————————————
After passing the seventh challenge, electric Spiritual Power from the surroundings swarmed towards Xiao Jiu, quickly replenishing its depleted Crystal Core and thunder patterns.
About 10 minutes later, a huge rumbling sound suddenly came from within the dark clouds.
Then countless flashes of lightning fell.
"Is it an increase in numbers again? If this continues, Xiao Jiu’s mana will not hold up."
As Chen Mo was thinking, he saw countless streaks of lightning converge not far away, forming a three-meter-tall, glittering Golden Bell.
The Golden Bell before his eyes was extremely similar to the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell Chen Mo had seen outside the Dragon Soul Ancient Tree earlier.
Only, the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell outside was ancient and damaged, like a weathered old man, while the one before his eyes was golden with lightning coursing over its surface and glowing inscriptions — presumably what the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell looked like before it was damaged.
The Thunder Dragon Tribe had actually "replicated" their past companion, using it as the guardian of the eighth challenge trial!
Looking at the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell before him, Chen Mo’s eyes sparkled, with even a hint of excitement.
While the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell’s Level might be at totemic or even beyond, and its combat power was astonishing, its main attack methods seemed to be sonic attacks!
Wouldn’t his "Grand Silence Spell" have a chance to shine again?
Outside world.
"Holy shit! The eighth challenge is the Lord Thunder God Bell!"
"It must be an electrical mimicry! Unexpectedly, Lord Thunder Dragon has conjured the Lord Thunder God Bell."
"This time Chen Mo and Blazing Flame Fox are done for, no wonder even the High Priest failed this trial back then."
"Not necessarily, the growth Level of this Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell doesn’t seem to be very high."
"Even if Lord Thunder God Bell’s growth level is only at the Transcendent First Stage, its combat strength can still match that of a regular Commander Rank Spiritual Beast. What can the Blazing Flame Fox do against it!?"
The onlookers from the Thunder Dragon Tribe had many opinions, but generally, they were not optimistic about Chen Mo.
In the tribe, legends about the Thunder Emperor and his Spiritual Beasts were passed down from generation to generation. In its prime, the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell’s ring could spread thousands of miles away, with an attack range so vast that it was capable of all-encompassing, angle-free strikes.
Moreover, besides the physical damage, the more terrifying aspect of the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell’s ring is its ability to impact the Spirit.
This is not something that can be withstood just by sheer bodily strength and physical fitness.
The Ancient Thunder Dragon had been very thorough in setting up the trial, worrying that some Spiritual Beasts might survive the first seven challenges by relying on their super high defensive power, so he arranged for the "Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell" to be able to directly attack the Spirit in the eighth challenge.
It was clear that it didn’t want anyone to pass.
Everyone’s gaze turned to the screen, not daring to even blink, afraid they might miss some exciting moments.
And then they were all stunned.
The Blazing Flame Fox did not use any defensive moves and charged headfirst towards the location of the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell.
Halfway there, the ancient seal characters on the surface of the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell started to shimmer with light, and the bell itself shook slightly.
Just when everyone thought that the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell was about to unleash a heaven-shattering strike.
In the next second, nothing happened.
The Blazing Flame Fox was still running, and the luminescence of the characters on the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell faded, indicating that it had already launched an attack.
The attack was immune? How is that possible!
Because the scene shown by the "Thunder Leaves" had no sound, people thought the Blazing Flame Fox was completely immune to the attack of the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell.
In reality, the bell had been "silenced" by Chen Mo, so no bell sound resounded within the Trial Space.
Quickly reaching the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell, the Blazing Flame Fox unleashed a thunderous rapid strike empowered by superimposed Spiritual Power onto the bell’s surface.
The metal used to craft the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell was obviously extraordinary, so Xiao Jiu used her strongest attack right from the start.
Boom!
A flash of purple lightning zipped by, and a huge crack appeared in the center of the Golden Bell.
After all, this was only a bell shaped by electric mimicry, not the actual Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell, so its body wasn’t as hard as imagined.
As the lightning faded, the Blazing Flame Fox landed another claw strike against the body of the bell...
"Could it be that this kid’s second Spirit Master talent is silencing?" Liu Guo’an suddenly thought as he saw the Blazing Flame Fox pounding heavy blows and the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell taking them in silence on the screen.
He recalled the moment when An’an fought the Pale Ghost Bat King, and how suddenly, in the critical moment, the Pale Ghost Bat King’s attack turned out to be a dud.
At the time, he didn’t think much of it, assuming that the Ghost Bat King had problems on its own. After all, Spiritual Beasts such as those from the Undead System often grow rapidly but are prone to a variety of issues, including losing control and consuming their masters.
Now it seems... It is very likely that Chen Mo had a hand in it back then!
As the Blazing Flame Fox’s relentless attacks continued, the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell finally dissipated into thunder light.
The leaves on the eighth layer dimmed, and then a leaf on the ninth layer lit up!
The people from the Thunder Dragon Tribe and the Thunder Team held their breath as they looked towards the "screen."
If the "gatekeeper" of the eighth level was the Jiuxiao Thunder God Bell, what could the final trial possibly be?
It couldn’t possibly be the Ancient Thunder Dragon itself, could it?
5 minutes later, as they stared at the massive figure on the screen, they couldn’t help but exclaim—
"Fuck!"
Chen Mo, looking at the giant dragon winding through the distant thunderclouds, couldn’t help but utter deep "admiration" from within his heart.
This colossal creature was at least hundreds of meters long, with half of its huge body hidden amongst the thunderclouds. Only its golden pupils, which shone like the dazzling sun, were clearly visible. The deep purple dragon scales were adorned with mysterious silver patterns, and the whole body exuded an ancient and majestic aura.
"Is this... the juvenile form of the Ancient Thunder Dragon?"
Chen Mo scanned it with his wristband, and as expected, the wristband was as unreliable as ever, displaying three big question marks.
"Mythical Creatures, how do we fight this?"
Chen Mo couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Although judging from the aura it emitted, the growth level of this Ancient Thunder Dragon was only Transcendent 2-stage, which was comparable to Xiao Jiu.
The problem is that Mythical Creatures possess incredibly strong physiques and innate moves, often mastering higher-level techniques from birth, allowing them to easily defeat Spiritual Beasts a whole major level higher than themselves.
This means that this Thunder Dragon before me has at least the fighting power of the Commander Stage!
Not to mention, with such a huge body size as a juvenile Thunder Dragon, just a direct collision would be too much for the Blazing Flame Fox to handle!
