1091.1 All Ready
Wei Jiangyuan said with great regret, "It's a pity there's no time left, otherwise I would have refined a ninth-grade pill for you and given you another significant boost!"
Hearing this, Lei Jingxiao didn't take it seriously: "Everyone with the surname Wei knows who else. Your current level is just all talk. If you really want to refine pills, you'll have to look to my older brother, okay?"
Wei Jiangyuan wagged his fingers: "Tsk tsk tsk, Lei Zi's words really chilled me to the bone. You know, for you, I would give up even a ninth-grade pill."
Unable to join the conversation, Xun'er went to check on Zi Yan. Having fought side-by-side in the Northwest Region, the two had a relatively good relationship, and she quickly noticed something unusual about Zi Yan.
Combining what she had learned from Little Fairy Doctor, Xun'er immediately understood something, and couldn't help but smile. Zi Yan, feeling somewhat guilty, didn't dare to look at Xun'er at all, but fortunately, none of the three noticed the changes in the two women.
"There are still five days until the final battle. Would you like me to practice with you?" Xiao Yan asked Lei Jingxiao.
"Sure, Big Brother is definitely stronger than Lei Dong. As long as I have a chance to threaten you, dealing with Lei Dong shouldn't be a problem!"
It can only be said that the Lei Clan's arrangements were quite good, and there was nothing that Lei Jingxiao needed to make up for. In the final moments, Xiao Yan and the others also acted as Lei Jingxiao's assistants, trying their best to help him adjust his mindset before the great battle.
Even Xiao Yan could see that Lei Jingxiao was both nervous and excited. From the beginning, he had considered Lei Dong as his hypothetical enemy, and in fact, he was the only one in the Lei Clan who could truly threaten Lei Dong. Now that the best and most important opportunity was presented to him, everyone knew that he had to seize it.
After a fierce battle with Xiao Yan, Lei Jingxiao collapsed to the ground, completely unconcerned about his image, and asked Xiao Yan, "Brother, do you think I have a chance to beat Lei Dong this time?"
"Based on my observations, there's definitely a chance!"
"I really want to beat Lei Dong, but this seems to be my last chance. There are so many people here this time, you all, my aunt, they have all done their best to help me. If I lose again this time, I don't even believe I can beat Lei Dong."
Xiao Yan walked up to Lei Jingxiao and reached out a hand to pull the collapsed Lei Jingxiao up from the ground.
"I can't guarantee the outcome of this battle, and I can't control its impact. But one thing is certain: whether we win or lose, I'll still be your older brother. Don't worry, the sky won't fall!"
Xiao Yan's words of comfort were rather clumsy, but in some ways they were also very powerful, successfully eliminating some of the confusion and fear in Lei Jingxiao's body regarding the unknown outcome.
"Alright! Big brother, let's do it again!"
……
The night before the ThunderClan Heir War.
"Auntie, will you come to see me tomorrow?"
Jiang Yunyan looked at Lei Jingxiao, who was standing right in front of her, and threw the question back at him: "Do you want me to come see you tomorrow? If I'm there, will it put more pressure on you?"
Without hesitation, Lei Jingxiao shook his head: "No, I wish you were here!"
Jiang Yunyan also showed a rare gentle smile. This time, she did not treat Lei Jingxiao with any harsh tone, but instead reached out and patted his head.
"Your aunt knows you've been really tired these past few days."
Lei Jingxiao shook his head, flattered: "That's not true."
Jiang Yunyan hesitated for a moment, then said softly to Lei Jingxiao, "Your mother... asked me to take good care of you when she left. But I was always worried that I wouldn't do it well. Now that you have the ability to take care of yourself, whether we win or lose tomorrow, I have already fulfilled my promise to your mother."
"From now on, I won't be so harsh on you anymore. Jingxiao, you're truly amazing! Whether in the Thunder Clan or on the continent, you're an undisputed powerhouse. Your aunt is so proud of you!"
Even the ruggedly powerful man, Lei Jingxiao, couldn't help but shed tears after hearing Jiang Yunyan's heartfelt expression. He couldn't help but recall the countless days and nights he had spent in arduous training, one of the reasons being to gain his aunt's approval. He respected Jiang Yunyan from the bottom of his heart, not only because she was his aunt, but also because she was a powerful figure recognized by everyone.
Lei Jingxiao originally thought that it was still quite a distance before he could gain his aunt's approval, and that it would only be possible after he advanced to the five-star Dou Sheng level and became stronger than his aunt.
He never expected to hear such high praise from her at this moment tonight. He felt that a part of what he lacked in his heart had been made up for at this moment.
"Auntie, don't worry, I won't lose!"
"Okay, then I'll witness it with my own eyes!"
……
The day of the ThunderClan succession battle!
Because of the pharmacopoeia, there are quite a few outsiders in ThunderClan, and the ThunderClan's own descendants are also very interested in the final successor, so there are quite a few spectators for today's battle.
This battle is crucial to the outcome of the Thunder Clan's two most outstanding young people, and every member of the Thunder Clan cares about it immensely.
The ThunderClan's dedicated arena stands were packed with people. Although the overall atmosphere wasn't particularly sensational, the sheer number of spectators was still considerable.
Xiao Yan and his companions sat in the audience seats specially arranged by the Lei Clan, and Shennong, Wei Jiangyuan's teacher, also came here.
As a ninth-grade alchemist, he would naturally participate in the Medicine Clan's Pharmacopoeia. He came here to exchange ideas with the other alchemists on Xiao Yan's side, and of course, he also wanted to watch the battle with Wei Jiangyuan.
In the heart of the audience seating area stood two tall men. One was muscular and robust; Xiao Yan recognized him as Lei Qingyue of the Lei Clan. The other was more proportionate, but with a remarkably large frame. Xiao Yan, hearing introductions from those around him, knew that this was Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Lei Clan and a super-strong expert at the eight-star Dou Sheng level!
They are the most important referees in this battle for succession, and they are responsible for determining the outcome of the match.
Not far behind them stood Jiang Yunyan, dressed in a light blue and white dress. As Lei Jingxiao had requested, she had come to witness this important moment for her nephew.
On either side of the stands stood the participants of this succession battle—the young people of the Lei Clan. However, the most dazzling and important were Lei Dong, a peak two-star Dou Sheng, and Lei Jingxiao, a late-stage two-star Dou Sheng.
Aside from those two, the strongest others had barely broken through to the first-star Dou Sheng realm. These people were no match for Lei Dong and Lei Jingxiao; the two of them only had eyes for each other.
At that very moment, Wei Jiangyuan, sitting in the audience, chuckled maliciously.
