"Yes! I will follow your teachings, teacher!" Lu Mingfei quickly stood up and replied, but inwardly he was cursing wildly—this kind of pomp and circumstance is for you to enjoy by yourself!
"Let's go, I'll take you to the next place." The white-haired Lu Mingfei stopped talking and flicked his sleeves.
The scene before Lu Mingfei's eyes distorted and reformed once again, like a shattered mirror! His vision returned to clarity.
He found himself standing in the center of a gigantic, circular arena made entirely of some unknown dark gray metal.
Beyond the arena lies a bottomless, eerily calm body of water.
Further away, surrounding the water, are layers of enormous, circular staircases, resembling the seating area of the ancient Roman Colosseum!
However, the densely packed people on those steps were not human spectators at all!
Instead, it was a giant frog with layers upon layers of skin covered in indigo bumps!
Each one is as big as an adult!
Even more terrifying, beneath their skin, there are blindingly bright blue electric currents that constantly jump and flash, emitting a "zzzz" sound that sends chills down your spine!
Countless frog eyes focused intently on the lone figure in the center of the arena—Lu Mingfei!
Dead!
An immense pressure, as if being watched by millions of ferocious predators, instantly gripped Lu Mingfei's throat, making him feel suffocated.
Lu Mingfei's familiar voice, with his white hair, echoed above the arena:
"This round of cultivation is very simple, just one word: hide."
Before the word "hide" had even faded, the frogs seemed to have received the order to launch a general attack!
"Croak—!!!" On the entire circular grandstand, countless Thunder Frogs suddenly opened their blood-red mouths and let out thunderous roars powerful enough to shatter eardrums!
With a roar, countless fist-sized balls of lightning, crackling with destructive electricity, rained down from all directions, covering the sky and leaving no blind spots, as they bombarded the area where Lu Mingfei was located!
Rumble——! ! !
The arena was instantly illuminated! The entire field of vision was filled with violent blue lightning!
These countless, interwoven lightning balls formed a dense network, like an electromagnetic barrage storm!
There wasn't even room to move, let alone hide!
Lu Mingfei felt his hair stand on end and his scalp tingle as if it were about to explode!
He could still manage to control the situation if there were only a few dozen lightning balls, but he was facing an overwhelming barrage of lightning balls that left no blind spots.
Are they treating him like a small plane in a high-difficulty Touhou Project danmaku game?!
How...how can he dodge this?!

Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and raced toward the edge of the arena!
As long as we can break through the core area covered by this terrifying barrage of bullets, it's good to avoid taking a few more lightning balls!
But he didn't even have a chance to catch his breath!
The first wave of overwhelming lightning balls was still howling in the air when the second wave of destructive lightning balls was already in hot pursuit, tearing through the air and attacking!
Their sheer number and density completely blocked both the front and back roads!
Splat!
A lightning bolt, its edge grazing the ground, slammed into his shoulder! A violent surge of electricity instantly coursed through his entire body!
"Ugh...!" Lu Mingfei's body trembled violently, his consciousness went blank for a moment, his muscles spasmed wildly and out of control, and he tumbled out of control!
This feeling of being torn apart and dominated... it's so damn familiar!
The memories of those two electric shocks in real life instantly flooded my mind!
Bang! A dull, massive impact hit my back!
Instead of rolling into the water, he slammed hard into the invisible yet steel-like air wall at the edge of the ring!
The impact was so strong that it felt like his internal organs had shifted, he saw stars, and his bones felt like they were about to fall apart.
He opened his eyes in a daze, and the sky—still an endless expanse of deathly blue light, pouring down with a piercing shriek!
"Damn it! This is never going to end!" he cursed angrily!
A powerful will to survive erupted!
Lu Mingfei bit his tongue, using the excruciating pain to forcefully stimulate his nerves. He struggled to get up from the ground, almost using both hands and feet. With a clumsy but swift pounce, he narrowly avoided the first few lightning balls that hit him!
Immediately, his figure once again moved and leaped wildly across the arena like a butterfly flitting among flowers, narrowly escaping the falling lightning every second.
"Absolutely! I can't afford to get shot again!" Alarm bells were ringing in Lu Mingfei's mind as he considered countermeasures.
Once hit again, even if the paralysis lasts only a moment, the person will be completely engulfed by the subsequent barrage of lightning!
Whether they can survive is still unknown!
But even if they survive, it probably won't be a pleasant experience.
He pushed his speed to the limit! He dodged left and right, weaving and maneuvering through the gaps in the deadly barrage of bullets!
Several times, lightning balls flashing with destructive electric light almost grazed his skin and brushed past his hair before slamming into the gray arena floor, only to vanish without a trace, leaving no mark whatsoever. This demonstrated the eerie nature of the arena's material.
In that brief moment when he was distracted by this strange occurrence—
"Croak—!!" The croaks of millions of frogs merged into a deafening roar!
The next moment, a new curtain of lightning, even denser and more intense than before, descended!
This is no longer a series of attacks, but a continuous and endless rage of thunder!
No sooner had one wave subsided than another arose, with the thunder and rain completely locking down and sealing off the space around him!
There is no way to avoid it!
Lu Mingfei's figure was instantly submerged in an absolute "lightning domain" composed of endless blue electric spheres!
The blue light of death filled his entire field of vision!
"There's no escaping it—!!" Despair washed over him like a tidal wave!
In a life-or-death situation, the body's instincts override reason!
He almost reflexively activated the Shangqing Sword Scripture at full power!
"block!"
Buzz! The energy within his body surged forth, and the invisible sword energy instantly formed a circular barrier, firmly keeping the lightning balls attacking from all directions at bay!
The lightning ball struck the barrier, producing a dull thud and blinding sparks!
"There's hope!" A glimmer of hope appeared in Lu Mingfei's eyes!
His spirits lifted, and he decided to abandon his pathetic attempts to dodge and switch from defense to offense!
Though he held no sword, the aura of swordsmanship was already formed!
He mastered the thirteen basic kendo techniques with ease, making them flow effortlessly between his fingers!
Thrust, flick, point, sweep, block... a series of sharp, invisible sword energies blocked all the incoming lightning balls.
However, this forced sense of security lasted for less than ten minutes!
Lu Mingfei's heart sank suddenly—the energy that had been flowing continuously was now being rapidly depleted like a flood!
"What's going on?!" he exclaimed in shock, a chill running through him!
"No! We're doomed if this continues!" Lu Mingfei reacted quickly and decisively abandoned his defense once again!
His figure moved like an arrow released from a bow, and he once again began his desperate escape in the endless thunder and rain!
While pushing his body to its limits to evade the relentless attacks, Lu Mingfei also diverted a wisp of his mind to focus on his dantian.
The energy was indeed slowly recovering, but it was completely different from the feeling of endless vitality when I was cutting down the dragon scale wood!
Now, he only condenses a wisp of sword energy to precisely deflect or detonate the lightning ball at the very last moment when there is truly no way to avoid it and it is about to hit him!
Gradually, a mysterious feeling quietly grew in his extreme dodging... The trajectories of those lightning balls that were originally too fast to catch seemed to... slow down?
Or perhaps, his perception and movements... have become faster! More precise!
He completely abandoned the idea of relying on sword energy for defense.
"Whoosh!" A ball of lightning grazed the tip of his nose, and the slight dissipation of electricity made his nose tingle, as if he had been touched by a tiny static charge, but it was not enough to affect his movements!
"Whoosh!" Another shot grazed past his side, the strong wind pressure carrying a sliver of electric shock that stung his skin!
Every turn, every maneuver, is precise to the millimeter!
Countless lightning bolts whistled past his clothes, hair, and shoes, ultimately crashing into the ground in vain and vanishing without a sound.
This state of complete concentration lasted for about five minutes—
"Stop!" Lu Mingfei's calm voice, adorned with white hair, resounded throughout the Thunder Domain.
The thunderous roar ceased instantly, and tens of thousands of thunder frogs were petrified and fell silent.
Lu Mingfei stopped, slightly out of breath, his eyes still holding the burning light of intense focus, as well as a sense of emptiness that lingered afterward.
In those few short minutes, he seemed to have entered a magical realm—
Time seemed to slow down, leaving only the precise distance and clear angle between him and each lightning ball... that sense of control was mesmerizing.
……
In an instant, Lu Mingfei's perspective shifted again.
He stood in the center of a magnificent circular library.
Ancient bookshelves surround you, and the yellowed old books exude the aura of time. Even the ground beneath your feet is covered with a sea of books.
Lu Mingfei, with his white hair, was engrossed in reading, his expression so focused that he seemed oblivious to the world around him.
This space has no visible light source, yet it is filled with a soft halo of light.
"Sit down." Before the white-haired Lu Mingfei finished speaking, an antique wooden chair quietly appeared opposite the desk.
"Thank you, teacher." Lu Mingfei didn't dare to be negligent and quickly stepped forward to sit down.
