"Wan Lei is now in the False Core realm, but the False Core can only be detected by examining the state of the foundation within the dantian. Outsiders naturally have no way of knowing."

"As long as one hasn't fully formed the core, they'll give off the feeling of being Foundation Establishment, even if the core is only half-formed, it's still Foundation Establishment."

"Just luck, you're the one who's a bit unusual."

Wan Lei said with a smile.

"Oh? What's unusual about me?"

Wan Liuchuan raised an eyebrow.

"With your arrogance, why are you talking so much nonsense with me during this battle? Or are you... deliberately stalling for time, preparing something?"

Wan Lei's gaze fell on the lightning beast that Wan Liuchuan was controlling.

He had originally intended to stall for time to recover from his injuries, but then he thought, Wan Liuchuan is such a proud person, if he wanted to defeat him, he could just cut the knot with a sharp knife, why would he waste so much time talking to him?

At the same time, he keenly observed that the lightning emanating from Wan Liuchuan's body seemed to be doing more than just controlling the lightning beast.

That powerful current seemed to be continuously feeding lightning power into the lightning beast.

Lightning is violent, and its energy is chaotic. It's not like other elemental energies, where you can tell at a glance whether it's being manipulated or transferred.

With that chaotic lightning, who could tell whether it was being manipulated or transferred?

But Wan Lei was the Soul of the Thunder God, and his perception of lightning was extremely keen. He noticed the difference in the current.

"Of course, I'm preparing this divine ability. The more lightning power you pour into this divine ability, the stronger it becomes. I wasn't confident that I could take you down in one move, so I had to accumulate power."

Seeing that his little trick had been exposed by Wan Lei, Wan Liuchuan simply admitted it.

"Heh, who would have thought that you, Wan Liuchuan, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually resort to such despicable and dirty tactics."

Wan Lei sneered.

"Not so. On the battlefield, it's kill or be killed, and anything goes. As long as you can defeat your opponent, any means are justified."

"Moreover, I'm openly accumulating power, and I've even told you about it. How can it be dirty or despicable?"

Wan Liuchuan corrected righteously.

"Are you here to take a dump?"

Wan Lei sneered.

"What?"

Wan Liuchuan didn't know why Wan Lei suddenly said such a thing, and was immediately stunned.

But soon, he understood.

He saw Wan Lei's figure disappear from the spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Wan Liuchuan, swinging his hammer to smash him.

The moment Wan Lei's figure disappeared, Wan Liuchuan immediately drew his sword and slashed behind him.

Wan Lei had used this move several times in the Fengzhou Mountains. If Wan Liuchuan couldn't react, he would be unworthy of the name of genius.

Clang!!!

The hammer and the long sword collided again. Wan Liuchuan was defending, so he was knocked backward.

Seeing this, Wan Lei pressed his attack.

His idea was simple. As long as he attacked Wan Liuchuan himself, making him unable to control the beast, then the divine ability would naturally collapse.

Wan Lei chased after him, but Wan Liuchuan, who had been knocked backward, had a contemptuous smile on his face.

Behind him was that ferocious beast.

"Lei Chen Dian Nu – Devour!" (Thunder's Wrath, Lightning's Fury)

With Wan Liuchuan's loud shout, the ferocious beast instantly grew larger, opening its bloody mouth and rushing toward Wan Liuchuan and Wan Lei.

At this time, Wan Lei had already caught up with Wan Liuchuan and saw the ferocious beast with its bloody mouth wide open, but it was too late for him to retreat. He could only fight to the death and defeat Wan Liuchuan first.

In any case, there was still Wan Liuchuan between him and the beast.

If anyone was going to be hit, Wan Liuchuan would have to take his hit first.

However, the next scene surprised Wan Lei. He saw the ferocious beast open its bloody mouth and swallow Wan Liuchuan and him whole.

This scene caused exclamations of surprise to erupt from the people on the surrounding platforms, wondering if Wan Liuchuan was trying to perish together with Wan Lei.

"What are you laughing at? Now you and I are both in this beast's belly, why don't you quickly stop this divine ability!"

Wan Lei roared angrily at Wan Liuchuan, who was laughing heartily.

"Naive. This is my divine ability. I can come and go as I please."

"You tricked me?"

"If not, would you obediently let this beast swallow you?"

"Despicable!"

"You're just too brainless, Lei-di. Just stay here obediently, you can't escape!"

After saying that, Wan Liuchuan flashed out of the beast's body and came outside.

"Lei-di, this is the third move, Lei Chen Dian Nu – Devour. It's about suppressing the enemy and then refining them with lightning. Just wait to be refined. This battle should be over."

Wan Liuchuan's voice entered Wan Lei's ears inside the beast.

Immediately afterward, the lightning inside the beast came crashing down on Wan Lei.

"Damn it, you really think this can trap me?"

Wan Lei sneered.

Then, Wan Lei lit the first rune on the Thunder God's Hammer, used Thunder Escape, and tried to flash out of the beast's body.

However, the always-successful Thunder Escape failed at this moment.

Unwilling to give up, Wan Lei used the Teleportation divine ability again, but found that he still couldn't escape from here.

It seemed that this place had been completely isolated from the outside world.

Even if he was unwilling, he had to admit the fact that he had been suppressed.

Wan Lei raised his hammer and smashed it against the inner wall of the beast, but found that it was like a void, impossible to touch.

"This is truly a good divine ability, but it's a pity that it fell into Wan Liuchuan's hands. If it could be used by me, I would definitely be able to use every inch of its power to the extreme."

Wan Lei looked at the lightning that was constantly striking him from all around. Although he was in great pain and his skin was torn, he quickly calmed down.

Since you, Wan Liuchuan, want to send me lightning power, why would I refuse?

Wan Lei sat cross-legged in the void, allowing the endless lightning to strike him. He remained unmoving, focused his mind, and fully refined and absorbed the power of the lightning.

"You want to refine me with this beast. In the end, we'll see who refines who!"

Wan Lei closed his eyes and meditated, as if he had entered a state of deep cultivation.

He knew his own situation, but to outsiders, Wan Lei had been suppressed.

"Hahahaha, Liuchuan really has good means. No matter how many schemes Wan Lei has, in the end, his strength is inferior. He has been suppressed. The overall situation of this battle has been decided. Liuchuan will definitely win."

Wan Honglin laughed loudly. Although Wan Liuchuan was not his biological son, he had been personally cultivated by him since he was a child.

Otherwise, with Wan Liuchuan's father, Wan Honggong, only having a Foundation Establishment middle-stage cultivation, how could he have cultivated a genius like Wan Liuchuan?

Wan Xiaotian also laughed loudly at the side. Although he knew that Wan Liuchuan would definitely win and that no one could match him, he was still very pleased to see that his eldest brother's only grandson had been suppressed like this.

Hmph, I lost to you back then, and Honglin lost to Hongxin, but this time, it is our lineage that will turn the tables.
