Chapter 108: Thunder Dragon Rhys

“The Thunder Region?” Hearing this name, Rod looked at the others with slight confusion.
Spreading his mental energy once again to observe carefully, Rod’s expression suddenly changed! Immediately after, his face twisted as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Kid, what’s wrong? Did you go exploring? Pull back your mental energy quickly!” Lilith and the others rushed to call out at this sight.
“I’ve pulled it back—this damned place!” Rod complained, looking at them with a bitter smile. He had released his mental energy out of curiosity upon hearing it was called the Thunder Region. When his mental energy touched the clouds in the sky, it was immediately met with fierce backlash. Terrifying lightning energy suddenly appeared from nowhere and rushed at his mental energy.
If not for his quick reaction in pulling it back, who knows what would have happened. Even so, he still suffered some shock and spat out blood. Only then did he realize the origin of the name—truly worthy of being the Thunder Region. It seemed ordinary on the surface but was actually full of danger, with terrifying lightning energy everywhere. The slightest movement could lead to fierce retaliation from the lightning elements. Just like earlier!
“You… Hey, you’re lucky, kid. Be careful. Don’t explore any area out of curiosity—otherwise, you’ll die! But this kind of place is suitable for that kid Rhys to train! Alright, let’s go. Hurry up—probably that kid has already sensed our arrival. Lord Gary, it’s up to you now!” Xuanfeng warned Rod with a bitter smile, speaking to the group as well.
As the name suggests, the Thunder Region is a paradise for lightning elements—here, lightning elements reign supreme. The most dangerous place in the Void Space isn’t those 20,000 meters ahead; the real danger starts from Gary’s area. Gary’s guarded place, undoubtedly guarded by a being beyond the divine level, won’t have any problems. Even if there are, the subsequent areas are the most dangerous. The Thunder Region is filled with countless lightning bolts, with the Thunder God as its ruler. It is both a blessed land for those who cultivate lightning elements and a dangerous place. For the Thunder Region under someone’s control, it is a graveyard for all invaders.

Fortunately, Gary was brought along this time; otherwise, even powerful figures like Lilith and Xuanfeng wouldn’t dare enter this place easily. Although the guardian here was just a god-tier late-stage dragon, it could summon lightning elements from heaven and earth to assist in battle. Within this place, there was no one at the god tier who could match it—only Gary could intimidate it.

Another crucial reason was that Gary was the teacher of this guy, and even the teachers of the guardians in the next three regions. All three dragons were trained by Gary. As long as Gary was around, there would be no problems or dangers.

Rod followed the group in, feeling uneasy. Entering such a seemingly ordinary yet perilous place felt like stepping into the jaws of wolves, with the risk of being devoured at any moment. He carefully followed behind them, fearing he might fall behind and face danger. He also retracted all his mental energy—after suffering once, he wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. With these people by his side, it would be extremely difficult for him to get hurt.

As they progressed deeper, the surroundings grew increasingly desolate. Even the short shrubs gradually disappeared, and the ground turned charred black. In some areas, wisps of white smoke occasionally rose, and the entire space emitted a burnt smell. The ground was no longer flat but full of pits and bumps, looking utterly miserable. The scattered stones showed that this area had been battered by lightning for years.

“Who’s there? Get out!” Suddenly, a loud shout rang out as the group approached the central area after some time. The sudden noise was as painful to the ears as thunder from the heavens.

Boom… Immediately afterward, the previously calm sky began to tremble. Thunder roared, and the dark sky seemed to be illuminated by lightning, creating long streaks of light, as if divine dragons were wandering within.

The blinding light made Rod, who had been accustomed to the dark environment for over a year, feel extremely uncomfortable.

“Heh, kid, what? You’re going to attack us too?” Along with the thunder, Xuanfeng spoke hastily with a wry smile. If he didn’t speak now, trouble might really arise. They all knew well about this guy, Reese—a cold and heartless man. If he didn’t reveal his identity, lightning would undoubtedly strike them in an instant.

“Senior Xuanfeng? Hmm, and Lilith too. Oh, Sognar is here as well. What, not satisfied with being beaten enough after training for so long, so you’re coming out to challenge us? And who is this little guy? His aura isn’t from our clan!” As Xuanfeng spoke, it seemed the people in the distance heard him, gradually calming down. The lightning in the sky also slowly disappeared, and that terrifying pressure gradually vanished from the sky, returning to calmness as if nothing had happened. Rod couldn’t believe such a situation and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Unnoticed, his forehead was already covered in cold sweat—no one wanted lightning to strike them at any moment.

“Reis, why are you so arrogant? I’ll still destroy you right now!” With a cold snort, Sognar, who had just been beaten up, naturally roared in frustration.

“Why aren’t you staying in your own place? Have you forgotten the rules and requirements of the Void Space? Or do you plan to rebel?” With another cold snort, ignoring Sognar’s words, that voice suddenly shouted loudly. Immediately, that invisible pressure spread again. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, rubbing against each other and emitting eerie screeching sounds that were terrifying.

“Lord, you…” Seeing this, Xuanfeng and the others forced smiles. Normally, none of them would fear Reis, but now it was different—they were in this Thunder Region, which was already full of danger. On top of that, this guy seemed very displeased with their actions, creating a sense of imminent conflict. Faced with this situation, they could only grimly turn their attention to Gary, hoping he would take action. Not to mention that Reis was Gary’s disciple—even if a fight broke out, Gary wasn’t afraid of this guy, after all, his strength was undeniable! Besides, even if Reis was unforgiving, he wouldn’t attack Gary.

“Hey, you guy. Decades have passed, yet you still look the same. How can someone with such impatience achieve great things? Without the help of this place, you might still be stuck at the middle stage of the divine level.” With a bitter smile, Gary sighed as he gazed into the distance. He had taken these disciples when they entered this void space. All of them had decent temperaments, got along well, and respected him enough, so he accepted them. Initially, the three of them were at the early stage of the divine level, but now they had reached the later stage. Yet they all shared one problem—irritable tempers and lack of patience, making it extremely difficult for them to break through to the divine level.

“Haven’t you guys left yet?” Seeming to sense that they were still there, the voice from afar grew angry. As the roar echoed, a lightning bolt the size of a wrist flashed down and struck right between them.

“Hmph, Reese. It seems your personality hasn’t changed after all these years. Have you forgotten what I said before?” Finally, Gary stepped in. Just as Rod and the others were about to act, he simply waved his sleeve, sending a gentle breeze that spread a faint red light. In an instant, powerful fire elements condensed, enveloping the lightning bolt. The lightning, encountering this breeze of fire elements, slowly disappeared, vanishing as if it had never existed. The others were stunned—such an effect from a mere wave of his sleeve! His strength was truly unfathomable!

At that moment, they all secretly rejoiced at not having to confront this guy. Otherwise, even all of them combined might not be enough to withstand a single move from Gary.

It was only at the moment he acted that Gary’s aura became apparent, immediately noticed by the others: “S-sir… Teacher, how… how did you come too?”

Gary’s appearance came as a huge surprise to Reese. With a sound of wind cutting through the air, a figure rushed toward them quickly. Earlier, Gary had concealed his aura so thoroughly that not only Reese in the distance but even anyone within ten meters who didn’t look would have failed to detect him. It was understandable that Reese hadn’t noticed.

The blue figure grew larger and faster by the second. In the next instant, it appeared in front of them. With a cold snort at Rod and the others, it turned to look at Gary, its expression instantly changing to one of deep respect.

“Teacher, you’ve come. What’s the matter with these guys?” Reese asked doubtfully, looking at Sognar and the others.

“I’m the one who brought them here. You don’t need to pay attention to that little guy; I brought him. I need to talk to you!” With that, he walked over to the side. Understanding the situation, Reese hurried after him. Seeing the honest Reese, who was completely different from before, a few people were secretly impressed—experience truly counts; he truly is a veteran who can handle three others! Rod and the others also gradually relaxed. With Gary taking action, there would be no more problems. If even he couldn’t handle it, then probably no one else could. Now, all that was left was to wait quietly for Gary’s reply. There was no need to know what they said; it was enough to know that Gary wouldn’t harm them.
