Chapter 35: An Unexpected Encounter with Yu Tianxin
After walking around the second floor, Lei Bao and Yu Tianlin went down to the first floor and stopped by Thunderclap Class One, the class Yu Tianlin would be joining in the future.
Then, Lei Bao led Yu Tianlin to the student dormitory so he could check his single room, and finally brought him to the lightning rod in the southeast corner of the academy.
At this moment, the sky was covered by a thick layer of dark clouds. The stars were gone, and even the moon was nowhere to be seen. It looked like heavy rain could fall at any time.
Soon, the two arrived in front of a pointed building. The moment Yu Tianlin saw the towering iron pillar beside it, a familiar feeling rose in his heart.
With Yu Tianlin's current cultivation, even if he directly used his spirit bone to attract lightning, it would not consume much spirit power. However, in the eyes of outsiders, it would look like he was being struck by lightning for no reason, which would draw too much attention. Using the lightning rod would divert suspicion and hide the truth.
Well, I am not attracting the lightning, the lightning rod is.
"It's just that we are giving you the right to live here at night. During the day, all the students will still come here to cultivate," Lei Bao said as he looked at the building in front of them. "Because Thunder Academy is located in a basin, there are many thunderstorms at night. So throughout the night, the lightning rods can receive a lot of lightning, making the lightning attribute energy in this area very abundant and active."
"Also, because it is a basin, the lightning attribute energy does not dissipate quickly and will linger for a while. By early morning, a considerable amount of lightning attribute energy will have gathered here, and the students will come over to cultivate."
Yu Tianlin nodded. "It's fine, I just need to stay here at night."
While dense lightning attribute energy was important, the crucial part for Yu Tianlin was still attracting lightning to temper his spirit ring, using the lightning rod as cover.
Lei Bao did not think too much about it. In his opinion, Yu Tianlin was just another student using the lightning attribute energy here to cultivate. Besides, he was only a two ring Great Spirit Master. The amount of energy he could absorb was negligible. One more or one less student made no real difference.
After handing the key to Yu Tianlin, Lei Bao returned to rest. He had been busy the whole day and was truly exhausted.
Yu Tianlin entered the pointed roof building, closed the door, sat cross legged beside the lightning rod, and began cultivating his spirit power. Once lightning struck, he would naturally wake up and draw it in.
The night passed just like that. Yu Tianlin received one hundred and forty lightning strikes in total. Half were drawn naturally by the lightning rod, and the other half were drawn by Yu Tianlin activating his ahoge.
From an outsider's point of view, it might seem like the lightning rod had attracted a bit more lightning than usual, but it did not matter. No one would be bored enough to stand there counting lightning strikes one by one.
Around four in the morning, the thunderstorm stopped. Yu Tianlin did not want to bump into the students who would come here to cultivate at dawn. Since he could no longer draw lightning anyway, he simply left and went back to his dormitory.
After returning, he meditated in his room to recover his depleted spirit power until the sky was fully bright. Then he headed to the cafeteria for breakfast, ready to go to class.
However, while Yu Tianlin was eating, he overheard the students at the neighboring table talking and learned that the academy was going to hold an internal selection competition. There would be no classes for the next two days.
Holy crap, isn't this the "campus sports meet" that all students love? What a coincidence. I just got here and I already have two days off from class.
The so called internal selection competition was to choose students to represent the academy in next year's Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition.
Although Yu Tianlin was somewhat interested, now that he suddenly had free time, he felt it would be better to visit his elder brother Yu Tianheng at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Well, and while I am at it, I can meet my future sister in law, Dugu Yan, and get familiar with her. Maybe I can fish some information about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well from her.
With that thought, Yu Tianlin put the selection competition to the back of his mind and hurried toward the academy gate.
When he arrived there, he saw a student in a blue purple uniform walking out at the same time.
Most of the students should be on the training ground watching the selection matches. I did not expect someone else to be heading out during the two day break.
Hmm, this back looks kind of familiar.
Feeling that something was off, Yu Tianlin jogged up to the student's side and turned his head to take a look.
The face that entered his view made Yu Tianlin exclaim in surprise, "Brother Tianxin!"
That was right, the person was Yu Tianxin. It was quite a coincidence. Yu Tianlin had not even had time to look for him yet, but they had already bumped into each other at the academy gate.
Yu Tianxin was nearly one meter eighty tall. Although he was a power attack type Spirit Master, his muscles were not exaggerated and his figure was well proportioned. His facial features were fairly ordinary, neither handsome nor ugly.
However, as the saying went, clothes make the man. Dressed in the exquisite Thunder Academy uniform, Yu Tianxin still looked quite elegant.
Hearing someone call him "brother," Yu Tianxin turned toward the voice and immediately saw Yu Tianlin.
"Tianlin, what are you doing here?"
He was surprised at first, but when he noticed the Thunder Academy uniform on Yu Tianlin, his pupils shrank slightly. "You are a student of Thunder Academy now, and you have already broken through to level twenty one!"
"Yes. I just broke through not long ago, and yesterday I came with Father to register at Thunder Academy," Yu Tianlin replied.
He did not deliberately mention that he was already at level twenty two. He wanted to keep a low profile.
"We are on a two day break because of the academy's selection competition, so I was planning to use this time to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to see my big brother," Yu Tianlin explained. Then he asked, "What about you, Brother Tianxin? Why are you not watching the selection competition? Where are you going?"
Yu Tianxin did not hide anything. "I am going to Lanba Academy."
"Lanba Academy? It sounds like a place founded by disciples of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Why does that name feel familiar to me?"
Yu Tianlin casually commented when he heard the name, but then something flashed through his mind and he abruptly stopped.
If he remembered correctly, Lanba Academy was founded by Liu Erlong. Later, it would be renamed Shrek Academy and could be considered the predecessor of Shrek Academy.
So that is how it is. No wonder Brother Tianxin is going to Lanba Academy. He must be going to see Liu Erlong. Liu Erlong is Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter, so she can be considered Yu Tianxin's aunt.
As for her relationship with me, it is a bit more distant. I would probably have to call her aunt as well.
Goodness. I have barely left the clan, and all kinds of familiar names are already appearing one after another.
This is getting more and more interesting.
