I am the Thunder Emperor in the fight

"Pfft!"

A sharp pain shot through his chest, and a strange flush rose to Lei Hua's horrified face.

A moment later, he could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.

His body was thrown backward as if struck by a heavy blow, finally landing heavily on the floor outside the square. Cracks appeared instantly on the floor before it completely collapsed.

Lei Yin slowly stepped out, gazing indifferently at Lei Hua, whose face was deathly pale, outside the arena. His calm voice echoed throughout the arena.

"You lose..."

Lei Yin's calm voice echoed in the square, immediately silencing the whispers around the arena.

A variety of gazes, each carrying a different emotion, lingered between the towering Lei Yin and the pale-faced, disheveled Lei Hua in the sidelines.

No one expected that the branch line could defeat the main line, and that an eighth-grade supreme being could defeat a ninth-grade supreme being!
This is undoubtedly the first dark horse to show its strength in this Zulei Grand Competition!

The silence lasted for a moment, then suddenly a crisp clapping sound rang out.

Immediately, as if by a chain reaction, a thunderous applause resounded throughout the venue.

Hearing the applause filling the hall, Lei Yin slowly raised his head, glancing casually at the location of the Thunder Spring, his expression indifferent.

At this moment, Lei Quan had a gloomy expression, his hands gripping the armrests tightly, and he looked at Lei Yin with resentment.

He never expected that this good-for-nothing in his eyes would actually be hiding such strength.

Lei Yin remained indifferent to the gasps from the crowd, neither commenting nor denying, and slowly walked off the stage.

"In this contest, Lei Yin of the Purple Lightning Branch wins!"

On the referee's stand, the referee also stood up with a smile, looked around the entire field, and after a moment, slowly spoke.

As the referee's decision faded, the applause that had been echoing throughout the stadium grew even louder.

The gazes directed at Lei Yin in the arena held undisguised awe and respect, especially since Lei Yin came from a branch lineage, which resonated with some members of the Lei Ling clan branch lineage.

At this moment, some high-ranking members of the Thunder Spirit Clan also noticed this place on the VIP platform of the arena. Immediately, an old man stroked his beard and praised it.

"Indeed, this child was able to defeat a ninth-grade Supreme with only an eighth-grade Supreme. Such talent is indeed remarkable."

Upon hearing this, another white-haired elder said noncommittally, "His combat strength is indeed extraordinary, but since he comes from a branch lineage, his future is limited to this."

If he could make it into the top ten of the competition and gain the favor of the Ancestral Thunder, he might be able to defy fate. However, given his current strength, it seems that making it into the top fifty is his best bet.

The Thunder Spirit Clan is full of geniuses. Not to mention ordinary ninth-grade supreme beings, there are even quite a few earth supreme beings. An eighth-grade supreme being is indeed nothing special, even though he has shown remarkable talent.

Upon hearing this, the old man also showed a look of regret. Although this child was exceptionally talented, his background was too humble. If he had been in the main lineage and received full support, he might have been able to try and win one of the ten spots.

While some high-ranking members were whispering among themselves, Lei Luo, the patriarch of the Lei Ling clan, also attracted some attention. His thunderous eyes suddenly swept over Lei Yin.

However, he only glanced at it before looking away.

For him, who was in charge of the vast Thunder Spirit Clan, a mere eighth-rank Supreme descendant of the clan was hardly of any interest.

In another corner of the arena sat a young man who bore a resemblance to Lei Quan. He wore the robes of the main lineage, and his aura was as vast and powerful as the ocean compared to that of ordinary Supreme Realm experts.

This person has clearly reached the Earthly Supreme level.

And he was none other than Lei Ling, the peerless genius of the Lei Ling Clan and also Lei Quan's older brother.

"An eighth-grade supreme being defeating a ninth-grade supreme being? That's interesting. It's a pity he's too weak; otherwise, he could be an interesting opponent." Lei Ling also noticed Lei Yin's performance, but his eyes didn't show much interest either.

A mere eighth-rank supreme being was not even worth his attention.

Facing the scrutinizing gazes of all sorts of people in the arena, including even the Heavenly Sovereigns, Lei Yin remained calm, his eyes slightly closed.

Lei Yin is from the Purple Thunder branch, and he is now all alone, which is why Mo Yu chose him.

Because no one in Thunder Spirit City knew him, even if he performed something amazing, it wouldn't arouse much suspicion.

With Mo Yu's strength, even ordinary Heavenly Sovereign experts would probably not be able to detect his existence, which is why Mo Yu dared to use this method.

In the following competition, Mo Yu appeared twice more, but this time his opponents were ordinary eighth or ninth-grade supreme beings, not much stronger than Lei Hua, so he won quite easily.

However, after these three matches, Lei Yin's reputation gradually rose in the arena.

After all, those who achieved outstanding results in the Zu Lei Hall in the past mostly came from the main lineage, while those from the branch lineages were just supporting actors.

Lei Yin not only came from a branch lineage, but also from the Purple Lightning branch lineage, which was ranked very low. It was truly surprising that he could achieve such outstanding performance.

However, as Lei Yin's reputation grew, Lei Quan's gaze became increasingly gloomy, as if the better Lei Yin performed, the more he was trampled on his face.

"You wretched brat, I'll let you run rampant today, but tomorrow I'll make sure you fall as hard as you can climb!"

Lei Quan looked at Lei Yin with a sinister and resentful gaze, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

As the competition progressed, the hundreds of matches on the first day lasted from morning until evening, finally ending amidst the lingering gazes of countless people.

And this Zu Lei Grand Competition truly lived up to its reputation as the highest-level competition for the younger generation of the Lei Ling Clan. The exciting battles between the strong opponents were enough to amaze everyone else.

Furthermore, everyone knows that the truly exciting battles will not be the first day's elimination rounds, but the battles on the second day!

After today's elimination round, only one hundred people will remain.

Whether there was an element of luck involved in getting this far or not, it at least shows that none of them are mediocre.

The level of excitement and intensity of this battle far surpasses that of the first day's elimination rounds!
Therefore, all the viewers were filled with anticipation and a desire for more, waiting for an even more exciting confrontation the next day!

As night fell, the arena, which had been bustling and exciting all day, finally returned to silence. The remaining contestants returned to their lodgings to rest and prepare for the next day's matches.

After all, everyone's goal is to secure those ten spots.

The following day, amidst the anticipation of countless people, it finally arrived.

As the first rays of dawn pierced the sky, the quiet inner courtyard was instantly replaced by a frenzy of activity.

After a quick breakfast, the contestants rushed off in droves towards the plaza. The massive arena was quickly filled within just two hours.

As noisy and fiery as yesterday, it soared into the sky with all sorts of sounds.

Half an hour after arriving at the square, the elders of the Thunder Spirit Clan also took their seats one after another. After the clan leader Lei Luo took his seat, the second day of the competition was officially announced to have begun!

After yesterday's eliminations, only one hundred contestants remain, so a new draw is needed.

After resting for a night, Lei Yin casually glanced at the number on his bamboo slip, then followed the others back to the high platform, quietly waiting for the upcoming battle.

"The second round of the Zulei Tournament, the first match, number 23! Number 23 with red draw and number 23 with blue draw, please enter the arena!" After everyone finished drawing lots, the referee waved his hand and announced.

As the referee's shout fell, two figures flashed down from the high platform, and a powerful aura instantly filled the arena.

Mo Yu's gaze lingered on the field, and when he saw his opponent, a smile appeared on his lips.

In this very first encounter, he met Lei Yin's enemy, Lei Quan. It seems like it was truly a matter of 'fate'.

"Useless trash, you were so arrogant yesterday. I wonder if you can still be so smug today." Lei Quan looked at Lei Yin and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Last night, he specifically asked an elder in the clan to tamper with the lottery, all so that he could personally teach Lei Yin a lesson.

He didn't believe that a good-for-nothing could cause any trouble.

"It's Lei Quan. He's a peak ninth-grade supreme expert. Although he's not as powerful as his brother, he's still a promising talent of our Lei Ling clan. Looks like we're in for a good show."

"His opponent is Lei Yin, who has a branch of the Purple Lightning lineage. I heard that he performed exceptionally well yesterday, even defeating a Ninth-Rank Supreme with the rank of Eighth-Rank Supreme."

“But Lei Quan is at the peak of the Ninth Grade Supreme, and his grandfather is a Heavenly Supreme expert, so he has mastered a divine power. It’s hard to say whether Lei Yin can continue yesterday’s victory.”

"Who knows? But considering we both come from the same branch of the family, I support Lei Yin!"

……

In the arena, many spectators also noticed the match between Lei Yin and Lei Quan. One was a scoundrel from the Lei Ling clan with a long list of evil deeds, while the other was a dark horse who suddenly rose to prominence on the first day of the competition. As a result, it attracted the interest of many people, who began to whisper among themselves.

Some people favored Lei Quan, while others favored Lei Yin, but most people supported the former.

After all, although Lei Quan's character is despicable, his strength within the clan is still evident, thanks to his grandfather being the Heavenly Supreme. Defeating an Eighth-Rank Supreme shouldn't be too much of a problem for him.

On the competition stage, the referee looked at Lei Yin and shook his head regretfully.

In his view, Lei Yin had already done very well to reach this point with only a few branches; it would be unrealistic for him to go any further or even defeat Lei Quan.

Turning his gaze away, the referee's expression also turned serious, and he coldly shouted, "The competition begins!"

"Heh, trash. I'll give you a chance. If you kowtow to me, I'll let you go this time." Before the competition, Lei Quan looked at Lei Yin and sneered with a playful smile.

Upon hearing this, Lei Yin glanced at him indifferently and said, "That sentence suits you very well."

Seeing Lei Yin's stubbornness, a cold glint flashed in Lei Quan's eyes. Did this kid really think he couldn't do anything to him?

A mere eighth-rank Supreme is nothing but an ant!

A chill ran through his eyes, and Lei Quan's spiritual energy roared around him like a thunderstorm.

The next moment, Lei Quan's mind stirred, lightning flashed in his palm, and a golden lightning spear appeared.

His hand slowly tightened around the golden lightning spear, and in the next instant, golden lightning appeared in his eyes. Then, he stomped his foot hard.

boom!
As Lei Quan swung his spear, a terrifying bolt of lightning roared out, and a golden sea of ​​lightning swept across the sky, filling the heavens in just a few breaths.

"Golden Thunder Spear, a sea of ​​thunder fills the sky!"

Lei Quan pointed his golden lightning spear at Lei Yin, and instantly a sea of ​​golden lightning swept out, distorting space wherever it passed, making even distant people's vision blur.

call out!
The sea of ​​thunder swept in, engulfing Lei Yin in an instant.

However, facing the roar of the golden sea, Lei Yin remained calm. He quickly formed hand seals, and purple light emanated from his body.

"Four Purple Lightning Shields!"

As soon as he finished speaking, four purple lightning pillars suddenly appeared around Lei Yin, enveloping him like a purple lightning shield.

The golden sea of ​​lightning roared, but the purple lightning shield remained as still as a rock. Not only did it not gradually decay in the sea of ​​lightning, but its purple light actually became even more intense under the collision with the golden lightning.

"How did this kid become so strong?" Lei Quan frowned slightly as he looked at the purple lightning shield surrounding Lei Yin.

In just a few days, Lei Yin's strength seemed to have undergone a tremendous change.

Could it be that this kid is really hiding his strength?

Lei Quan frowned, then let out a cold snort. Without much hesitation, he quickly formed a strange hand seal with one hand.

"Buzz!"

As his hand seals changed, lightning suddenly condensed within the golden sea of ​​lightning that swept around the purple lightning shield, rapidly transforming into countless golden lightning spears.

These lightning spears, like lightning swords, are covered with lightning patterns, and extremely violent fluctuations emanate from them.

Lei Quan stared at Lei Yin from afar. He smiled indifferently, then flicked his finger, directly activating this killing move.

hum!hum!
The sound of countless spears trembling rang out, and in an instant, dozens of bolts of lightning appeared strangely around Lei Yin.

Amidst the lightning, countless golden spears of lightning raged with unparalleled ferocity and chilling sharpness; even an ordinary ninth-rank supreme being would likely crumble in a single blow.

call out!
The spear's gleam was reflected in Lei Yin's eyes, and in an instant, the spearhead was right in front of him.

Lei Yin's eyes were calm, and at this moment, purple light burst forth from his body, rapidly transforming into purple lightning shields on his skin with lightning speed.

boom!boom!
The spear light collided with the purple shield, instantly producing a piercing sound. Then, amidst the fluctuations of spiritual energy, both turned into specks of light and dissipated.

This encounter was once again a close contest.

Lei Quan's gaze also darkened completely... (End of Chapter)
