Chapter 155: Radiance of Thunder Prison
With doubts in his heart, Lin Qi asked bluntly,
"If you’re not here to gather intel, then why come?"
Flower Xingyu shrugged helplessly at the question.
"Orders from the captain. I’m supposed to babysit outer academy students and show off Yuhu Academy’s splendor. Honestly, I’d rather not deal with these outsiders. But our captain insists on playing nice, even with nobodies."
He sighed enviously,
"Wish I had your freedom to come and go."
Lin Qi’s eyes narrowed with suspicion.
"You never tell the truth willingly. Wait—are you trying to ditch me to spy on other academies? Or worse, collude with them?"
"Pfft!" Flower Xingyu scoffed.
"Those ants? Beneath us. Why would we team up with trash?"
Lin Qi pressed on, unaffected by the disdain.
"Yan Zhanpeng’s squad loves scheming. If he sent his vice-captain here, there’s more to this."
"Maybe I volunteered," Flower Xingyu countered.
"Volunteer? You?" Lin Qi snorted. "Earlier you said you’d bolt given the chance."
"…Fine. I lied." Flower Xingyu spread his hands. "I need you gone because delicate junior sisters require my undivided attention. You’re cramping my style."
Lin Qi hesitated, recalling the other’s reputation as a flirt. Still, he remained unconvinced.
"Whatever. I’ll focus on my own mission."
As Lin Qi turned away, Flower Xingyu snapped open his fan and waited silently.
Soon, Dongfang Ya’s airship descended upon Yuhu Academy. Mu Lin emerged, immediately sensing the thick spiritual energy permeating the grounds—far richer than Anping Taoist Palace’s Formal Class training halls.
"This must be their regular environment," he marveled. "Their actual training sites must be incredible."
Flower Xingyu and Lin Qi approached Mu Lin’s group while a Yuhu teacher greeted Dongfang Ya. The vice-captain smiled amiably.
"Brother Mu from Anping Taoist Palace? We’ve prepared your accommodations. Let me show you around."
Upon hearing this, Mu Lin did not immediately agree but looked toward Dongfang Ya.
Noticing his gaze, she said, "Go ahead. With me here, no one will dare to bully you."
"Hahaha, Teacher Dongfang jokes! As hosts, we aim to make you feel welcome," the Yuhu Academy members replied.
"Then we’ll trouble you," Mu Lin said.
He then followed Flower Xingyu and Lin Qi into Yuhu Academy with Yan Yunyu and the others.
—Since all were students, Flower Xingyu’s group also welcomed Zhou Liang, Jing Yeming, and others alongside Mu Lin’s party.
As they toured more areas, Mu Lin’s group gradually sensed Yuhu Academy’s opulence and deep-rooted prestige.
The entire academy brimmed with spiritual energy. Mu Lin spotted numerous spirit beasts, spirit flowers, and rare herbs.
This paradise ensured Yuhu Academy’s students surpassed those of Anping Taoist Palace in overall skill.
—At Anping, those who reached the Spring Fountain realm were considered powerful. Here, such cultivators were common.
The superior environment and strength gave Yuhu Academy’s members an air of quiet arrogance. Though they didn’t provoke outright, their condescending demeanor was unmistakable—particularly when showcasing unique structures, as if enlightening country folk.
"This is one of Yuhu Academy’s Four Treasures: the Radiance of Thunder Prison. Its Thunder Pool aids body tempering."
Noticing Mu Lin’s group remained unimpressed, Flower Xingyu added with a smile, "You know thunder embodies the world’s most potent yang force—it destroys evil and shatters demons, yes?"
Zhou Liang nodded. "Naturally."
"And the tempering principle?"
"Destroy, heal, grow stronger through repetition."
"Half-correct," Flower Xingyu said, shaking his head. "Ordinary thunder tempering works through destruction. But our Radiance of Thunder Pool is different."
"Thunder governs heaven and earth, balancing yin and yang. As heaven’s mandate, it holds not just destruction but creation. The Thunder Tribulation punishes and tests, yet also offers life’s spark."
"Demons shedding forms through tribulation, cultivators ascending realms, spirits returning from death—all show thunder’s creative aspect. Normally, thunder is 90% destruction, 10% creation."
"But our pool contains a strand of Sixth-Ninth Tribulation’s vitality, seized by Yuqing’s True Lord and nurtured by the Thunder Punishment Tree. Over years, its creative aspect reached 50%."
"Tempering here surpasses ordinary thunder tenfold."
This sparked genuine interest in Mu Lin.
Flower Xingyu smirked proudly, then glanced at Chu Lingluo, Yan Yunyu, and Ji Xue, expecting awestruck reactions.
Instead, all three women remained utterly calm, as if the Radiance of Thunder Pool warranted no particular attention.
