Two months had passed in the blink of an eye!
The Battle of the Hundred Sects was imminent!
"Little Lei, how can you grow so fast just by eating lightning?"
On the mountaintop, a young man in white clothes, graceful and elegant, had a giant beast by his side covered in purple fur.
At this time, the young man was feeding the beast by letting it eat lightning.
"Roar!"
The Lei Jing Beast roared at Su Tong.
"If you keep making a racket, I won't give you this to eat!"
Su Tong waved his hand, and the lightning disappeared.
"Roar whine!"
When the lightning disappeared, the Lei Jing Beast let out a whimper like a spoiled child!
Su Tong looked helplessly at the Lei Jing Beast in front of him, nearly one meter tall.
But he didn't pay it any mind, standing with one hand behind his back, looking in the direction of the Chi Hong Sect: "Two months will pass soon, the Battle of the Hundred Sects will surely begin!"
Thinking of this, Su Tong tapped his toes on the ground and leapt up in one go.
"Roar!"
The dissatisfied Lei Jing Beast behind him let out a low roar.
But it still turned into a flash of lightning, streaking towards Su Tong.
In midair, it supported Su Tong, spreading its wings of lightning, flying straight towards the Chi Hong Sect.
Su Tong didn't know why, but it seemed this Lei Jing Beast had mutated. Compared to the one killed before reaching the Qi Condensation Realm, this one had grown an extra pair of wings.
So without any hesitation, Su Tong let this Lei Jing Beast become his mount.
The Lei Jing Beast had already reached the strength of a third-grade Qi Condensation Realm beast. Now spreading its wings, it was as swift as lightning, flying with rumbles of thunder.
"A bit noisy!"
Su Tong said softly while standing on the Lei Jing Beast's back.
"Roar!"
The dissatisfied Lei Jing Beast roared.
But it didn't resist.
After a while, beast and man arrived back at the Chi Hong Sect.
"Look, what's that?"
"It looks like a demon beast!"
"What kind of demon beast is that?"
"Be vigilant! Be vigilant!"
Seeing the demon beast in the sky, the Chi Hong Sect disciples were suddenly panicked and chaotic.
But at this moment, a disciple with sharp eyes noticed there was someone on the back of that demon beast.
"Wait, that's...Elder Su Tong!"
That disciple shouted quickly.
Then several other disciples also recognized him.
"Yes, it really is Elder Su Tong!"
"Elder Su Tong is back!"
"But that's a demon beast! Elder Su Tong is standing on a demon beast!"
After discovering it was Su Tong, many disciples shouted happily.
After not seeing him for a few days, Elder Su Tong's strength seemed to have grown again.
Standing on the Lei Jing Beast, Su Tong was steady no matter how fast it flew.
Seeing the shouting disciples below, Su Tong just smiled faintly, then flew towards the residence of Sect Leader Luo Zi Yin.
"That is...Su Tong's Lei Jing Beast, how can it have wings? A mutation? I didn't expect that beast to also advance to the third grade of the Qi Condensation Realm!"
Watching the Lei Jing Beast in the sky, the Second Elder sighed in surprise.
When it was first brought back, although at the Spirit Refinement Realm, for it to step into the Qi Condensation Realm, it would be difficult without ten or eight years.
But in Su Tong's hands, in just over two months, it had entered the third grade of the Qi Condensation Realm.
This couldn't help but make people envious.
"Yes, Su Tong is truly amazing. His own talent and perception are extremely strong. Now even the pet he raises is so powerful. If I had Su Tong to guide me when I was cultivating, I wouldn't still be stuck at the first grade of the Qi Condensation Realm now."
At this time, another elder was also full of bitterness as he spoke.
Back then among his batch of disciples, he was also called a genius.
For a time, he was in the limelight.
Later he stayed in the Chi Hong Sect and became an elder.
"Hehe, if Master knew, I'm afraid he would scold you, senior brother!"
At this time another elder also laughed.
These two were disciples of the same master in the Chi Hong Sect, now addressing each other as senior and junior brother.
Amidst the elders' casual chat, Su Tong arrived.
"Elders are also here?"
Getting off the Lei Jing Beast, Su Tong also saw several elders.
He didn't expect they would all be at Luo Zi Yin's residence.
The elders also nodded.
"Two months unseen, your strength has grown again?"
Luo Zi Yin looked at Su Tong.
She was surprised to find she could no longer see through Su Tong's cultivation level.
"Mm, it has grown a bit!"
Su Tong nodded, not saying much.
Hearing this, the elders also nodded slightly.
"Sit, since you came to find me, there must be something?"
Luo Zi Yin asked Su Tong.
"Counting the days, the Battle of the Hundred Sects seems about to start. I came to understand the situation. If there's nothing I can help with, I want to go out for a walk!"
Su Tong wanted to see if help was needed. If not, he would leave.
After all, cultivating in the mountains was somewhat depressing.
"Hehe, the elders have also come to discuss this matter!"
Luo Zi Yin smiled lightly.
"Discussing not in the council hall, but here?"
Su Tong was surprised. Weren't things usually discussed in the council hall?
"The elders didn't come together. They arrived one after the other, but it was for the same matter!"
Luo Zi Yin explained.
"The Battle of the Hundred Sects!"
Without needing to say it, Su Tong could guess this matter could only be the Battle of the Hundred Sects.
"Yes, and no!"
Luo Zi Yin did not give a very clear answer.
At this time, the First Elder spoke: "We all think you should lead the team for the Battle of the Hundred Sects!"
"Ah?"
Su Tong didn't expect this was what they wanted.
"The elders came to me one by one, all thinking you are the most suitable candidate!"
Luo Zi Yin said.
"But I don't know the rules of the Battle of the Hundred Sects!"
Su Tong shook his head.
He had never heard of this Battle of the Hundred Sects.
"In the Battle of the Hundred Sects, the sect's elders or sect leader lead one hundred Spirit Refinement Realm disciples to Yunling Island. On the island, they compete to seize the command tablets of other sects, and finally reach the center of Yunling Island."
The First Elder explained.
Then he added: "The top ten sects, schools, and sword factions that obtained the most command tablets will compete to select the strongest sect, four schools, two factions, and one sword faction!"
"I see. What if no other sects, factions, or sword schools arrive at the destination?"
Su Tong nodded. So that was it.
"Then the strongest sect will designate them!"
The First Elder was stunned for a moment, but still answered Su Tong's question.
But this was impossible.
"What's the purpose of the hundred Spirit Refinement Realm disciples then?"
Su Tong asked helplessly.
This was clearly a contest between sect leaders and elders. What was the point of those hundred Spirit Refinement disciples?
"Just for show, to demonstrate the sect's might."
This time, the Second Elder answered Su Tong's question.
Su Tong: "..."
Truly the people of large sects, bringing a hundred disciples just for a show of strength.
"Fine, I can lead the team for this Battle of the Hundred Sects. But I want the names and strength of the strongest members of every sect!"
Su Tong nodded, then said.
"Alright, but what are you planning?"
The First Elder nodded, then asked.
Su Tong sneered coldly: "I plan to stop every single one of them from reaching the destination!"
