No ambushes, no last-minute twists. Maybe I was worried for nothing, Kai breathed a sigh of relief as he stepped through the gates of the Azure Sky Sect.
As they walked through the sect grounds, Kai noticed some curious glances from other disciples. He realized he must look tense ...
Zhi-Zhi stood outside Cang Long's cave, his tiny shell quivering as he gazed up at the darkening sky. He knew what was coming - his Foundation Establishment tribulation.
What if my shell isn't strong enough? What if the lightning cracks it open like an egg? Zhi-Zhi's thoughts ...

Without warning, Jin Ling dashed forward. Her sword became a blur, aiming for Kai's neck. Time seemed to slow as Kai's survival instincts kicked in.
"Swift Wind Step!" he gasped.
Kai's body blurred, leaving afterimages as he narrowly avoided decapitation. The sword passed so close h...
I should be relaxing in the sect, not risking my life out here, Elder Bu thought bitterly as he floated high into the sky. A dozen years left to live, and they send me on this mission. If I die, no one will even care.
His gaze drifted briefly to his companions below. ...

The stranger's eyes widened slightly. He took a step back and sheathed his sword. "Hmm, you have some great senses, I didn’t expect you to notice me."
Kai glanced at the black robes the young man wore. "And I guess you're my senior brother."
The stranger nodded. "I'm Wang Lin, the t...

A crown of lightning danced around Kai’s head as he sat cross-legged on his cultivation pillow. He'd been at this for days, pushing himself to the limit. But now, finally, he felt it. With one last push, the last bits of resistance in his body gave way, his eyes snapped open, a smile spreading ...

The storm clouds gathered above the Zhen Lei Shenjiao as it prepared for its breakthrough.

Kai stood at the edge of the core layer of Storm's Peak, known as the Eye of the Storm. The name fit perfectly - winds howled and lightning flashed in a dizzying display of nature's fury.

The Thunder Bird's beak snapped shut, and the ball of lightning it had been forming shot towards Kai.
He tried to maneuver his flying sword out of the way, but Kai wasn't used to aerial combat. The lightning grazed his shoulder, and even with his lightning resistance, it sent a jolt of ago...
