”Thunder and Lightning Hammer? Why do you want the Thunder and Lightning Hammer?”

Dean Xinghai was momentarily stunned and looked at Yang Xiao.

”I just heard that the Thunder and Lightning Hammer is the institute’s divine weapon at Flying Leopard Academy, so I wanted to see it for myself.”

”Alright.”

The dean nodded,

”However, the Thunder and Lightning Hammer is not with me; it’s stored in the Divine Weapon Pavilion of the academy. Coincidentally, I need to store the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword in the pavilion, so let’s go together.”

Vice Dean Deng Nan, Master Lei, Director Zhu Peng, and others accompanied Dean Xinghai and Yang Xiao to the Flying Leopard Academy’s Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion was a two-story building, modest in size, with a three-meter-tall rock at the entrance, one side of which was smoothed flat with the words ”Divine Weapon Pavilion” engraved on it.

Standing at the gate were two Silver Armor Guards, and the entire pavilion was shrouded in a faint blue defensive light screen.

The dean walked to the gate, the two Silver Armor Guards bowed in salute, and then opened the Defensive Light Curtain Gate, allowing Yang Xiao to enter with the others.

”Yang Xiao, the Divine Weapon Pavilion stores thousands of various weapons. It is the weapons warehouse of our Flying Leopard Academy, and the most famous item here is certainly the Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer.

Besides the Thunder Hammer, there are several two-star divine weapons and one-star divine weapons as well as magic killing weapons of all grades. Initially, I intended to reward you with a two-star divine weapon,

but now you already have the Broken Rainbow Sword and the Bronze Divine Sword, both two-star divine weapons, so giving you another would be redundant, wouldn’t it?”

Dean Xinghai laughed.

Yang Xiao really wanted to say, ”If you give it to me, I wouldn’t mind; I could sell it or give it away.”

Yet, these words had to be kept to himself because saying them would be inconsiderate.

Dean Xinghai led the group to an isolated room, which was surrounded by a separate defensive light screen.

”This defensive light screen can withstand attacks of the Emperor Level Primary Level Realm.”

Zhu Peng, standing by, quietly informed Yang Xiao.

As the dean of the primary academy, Zhu Peng had been acknowledged and praised by Dean Xinghai for admitting the prodigy Yang Xiao.

According to Yang Xiao’s initial entry genetic test results, he was deemed unqualified. Thanks to the acceptance of Director Lu and Zhu Peng back then, the miracle of defeating the Heavenly Dragon Academy was achieved.

Director Lu was also commended by the academy:

”Diligently working day after day for decades, making significant contributions to the enrollment of talented individuals for the academy.”

Dean Xinghai took out a jade pendant and swiped it across the defensive light screen. Yang Xiao heard a ”buzz,” and the isolated defensive light screen outside the room disappeared.

Xinghai and Deng Nan entered the room with the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword, while the others waited outside.

Moments later, Xinghai returned, holding a dark-colored hammer.

”Yang Xiao, this is the institute’s divine weapon, the Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer. Take a look.”

Yang Xiao thanked him and took the Thunder Hammer.

The Thunder Hammer was incredibly heavy. Unprepared, Yang Xiao’s hand sank sharply, and he quickly tightened his grip on the hammer.

Xinghai smiled and said:

”The materials of the Thunder Hammer are quite special. Although it’s only about one and a half meters long and the hammerhead isn’t particularly large, it weighs over two thousand pounds.”

For Yang Xiao, who is at the Emperor Level Primary Level Realm, two thousand pounds was not a problem; he just wasn’t mentally prepared initially.

Yang Xiao examined the Thunder Hammer intently. The dark hammer handle and head were seamlessly integrated, covered with many strange and obscure runes, and faintly carried a power like thunder.

When Yang Xiao was in the slums of Dragon City in the Great Dragon Empire, he had bought a Secret Technique Manual of the Storm Axe from a secondhand bookstore.

The jade slip recording the Storm Axe Technique had already been fully read by Yang Xiao, and the technique had been integrated into his consciousness.

Yang Xiao remembered a part of the Storm Axe Technique’s description stating that to perform the skill, one must have a magic killing weapon like the Storm Axe.

On the Witch Star, truly high-level cultivation skills required corresponding magic killing weapons to be used effectively, and these skills were far more powerful than simpler ones.

Yang Xiao never had the chance to forge a specialized Storm Axe magic weapon at a blacksmith shop, but after hearing Elder Ye introduce the Thunder Hammer a few days ago, he was tempted. He wanted to see if his Storm Axe Technique could activate the rune energy of the Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer.

Yang Xiao held the Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer in both hands, quietly activated his Divine Sense, and activated the Storm Axe Technique.

Suddenly, the Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer in Yang Xiao’s hands buzzed, releasing blinding light as a violent wind swept through the room.

Xinghai and others suddenly were shocked, staring wide-eyed at Yang Xiao.

”Boom!”

A thunderous sound echoed as lightning struck the roof of the Divine Weapon Pavilion from the sky.

At that moment, the Divine Weapon Pavilion had no defensive light screen protection,

and everyone only heard a ”boom” as thunder exploded, followed by the sensation of the entire building shaking violently as the ground trembled.

”Yang Xiao, stop at once!”

Dean Xinghai shouted as he pushed his hands towards the sky, a light shield instantly enveloping everyone above.

”Boom!”

With another thunderous crash,

lightning struck the light shield above, and then large chunks of rubble began to fall from the ceiling.

Yang Xiao was also startled, immediately dropping the Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer to the ground.

With a wave of his hands, Dean Xinghai brushed the large debris from above to the side, looking at Yang Xiao in amazement.

”Yang Xiao, what, what’s going on? How can you wield the power of the Thunder Hammer?”

Vice Dean Deng Nan, Master Lei, Zhu Peng, and others were equally astonished, staring at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao, excited, blushed with embarrassment, scratched his head, and glanced up. The roof of the two-story building now had a large hole blasted open by lightning.

Looking down at the Thunder Hammer on the ground, he bent down to pick it up,

”This Thunder Hammer seems to be incredibly powerful!”

”Nonsense, that’s not even ten percent of its power! As the divine weapon of our Flying Leopard Academy, the Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer’s power far exceeds your imagination.

But you haven’t told us yet, how did you come to know the technique to wield this Thunder Hammer?”

Dean Xinghai looked at Yang Xiao anxiously.

Yang Xiao replied,

”I accidentally learned a technique known as the Storm Axe Technique previously, which also required a similar magic weapon. I just tried to use it unconsciously, and unexpectedly―”

”Storm Axe?”

Xinghai was startled,

”The Flying Leopard Academy has thousands of cultivation skills, but I’ve never heard of the Storm Axe Technique. Deng, have you heard of it?”

Deng Nan shook his head,

”No, and our Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer requires a specialized Thunder Hammer Technique to activate its rune power. Could your Storm Axe Technique unknowingly align with our Thunder Hammer Technique?”

Deng Nan looked at Yang Xiao, filled with doubt, almost unable to believe this miracle.

”Impossible! Our academy’s Thunder Hammer Technique has always been passed down personally by the dean to the next dean. If it weren’t for the dean’s accident, it wouldn’t have been lost. There’s never been another skill like the Storm Axe Technique to trigger the rune energy of this Thunder Hammer.”

Dean Xinghai, Master Lei, Zhu Peng, and others were equally dumbfounded.

Yang Xiao scratched his head and smiled,

”Dean, you mentioned wanting to reward me with the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword but said that my current cultivation is too low to control its power. I find this Thunder Hammer quite fun; why don’t you give it to me?”

Xinghai: ”...”

Deng Nan: ”...”

Master Lei: ”...”

Zhu Peng: ”...”
