Because Tang Yuezhi did not have the Five Elements Divine Pill in her body, nor had she cultivated the foundational Chapter of the "Scripture of Five Elements," her current cultivation of Black Water Divine Thunder, though formidable, would inevitably backfire if wielded too forcefully.

Tang Yuezhi’s current situation was dire, as the Black Water Divine Thunder rampaged within her, continually ravaging her meridians, bones, and flesh.

Even though Tang Yuezhi possessed profound cultivation, the backlash of the Divine Thunder wouldn’t cost her life, but it would likely render her bedridden for half a month.

"I finally understand why the Warriors of Black Water City regard the ’Darkwater Divine Thunder Technique’ as a treasure, yet seldom choose to cultivate it!"

"It turns out they lack the foundational Chapter of the ’Scripture of Five Elements,’ which is the ’Great Five Elements Skill’!"

"Without cultivating the foundational Chapter, directly cultivating Black Water Divine Thunder is perilous, with the risk of facing a thunder backlash at any moment, and the progression is exceedingly slow!"

"It’s just like Ban Ye, who cultivated a third of the Black Water Divine Thunder over ten years, only achieving a small success today."

"Had Ban Ye condensed the Five Elements Divine Pill within himself, he wouldn’t need to spend so long cultivating."

Lin Bai remarked softly in his heart.

Tang Yuezhi fell to the ground, her face contorted in pain, clearly tortured by the Black Water Divine Thunder to the point of being overwhelmed.

Lin Bai sighed gently, once again extending his hand and pressing it against Tang Yuezhi’s body.

"What are you doing?"

"I warn you, if you dare touch me again, I will kill you!"

"If you don’t believe me, just try it!"

Tang Yuezhi glared at Lin Bai and shouted fiercely.

Lin Bai’s outstretched hand halted midway, and he looked at Tang Yuezhi expressionlessly, speaking calmly: "If you allow the Black Water Divine Thunder to destroy your meridians unchecked!"

"You will likely suffer severe injuries, spending the next half year bedridden."

"Although the Tang Family’s miraculous elixirs can restore your injuries, they will leave hidden dangers!"

"Now I can help you stabilize the Black Water Divine Thunder within your body; are you still unwilling?"

Lin Bai spoke calmly.

Tang Yuezhi was startled, her eyes flickered, she couldn’t deny Lin Bai’s truth, yet even so, Tang Yuezhi didn’t wish for Lin Bai to touch her body.

Seeing Tang Yuezhi’s silence, Lin Bai did not inquire further, his palm uncovered the cloth over Tang Yuezhi’s abdomen, pressing firmly against her smooth skin...

Feeling Lin Bai’s palm on her abdomen, Tang Yuezhi closed her eyes in humiliation.

At this, Lin Bai focused intently, the Five Elements Divine Pill within him began circulating, a gentle force entered Tang Yuezhi’s body.

The previously agitated Black Water Divine Thunder within Tang Yuezhi began calming under the Five Elements Divine Pill’s soothing influence, becoming exceptionally tame.

As the Black Water Divine Thunder ceased its rampage, Tang Yuezhi’s injuries gradually improved, her body regained sensation bit by bit.

Half an hour later, Lin Bai withdrew his hand silently, saying: "I have already calmed the Black Water Divine Thunder for you, but I must remind you!"

"Since you cannot control the Black Water Divine Thunder, do not force its use; otherwise, you will only harm yourself, the ultimate fate might be becoming incapacitated."

Lin Bai spoke calmly.

Tang Yuezhi regained sensation in her body, sat up from the ground, realized the Black Water Divine Thunder within her had dissipated, a trace of astonishment on her face as she looked at Lin Bai, surprised: "How did you do that?"

"How did you quiet the Black Water Divine Thunder?"

Tang Yuezhi looked at Lin Bai, confused.

Previously, Tang Yuezhi had also utilized Black Water Divine Thunder, suffering from its backlash, spending half a month in bed recuperating slowly with the Tang Family’s myriad miraculous elixirs.

But now, in Lin Bai’s hands, such turbulent thunder calmed instantly with just a touch, leaving Tang Yuezhi astounded.

"How I did it is unnecessary for the young lady to know." Lin Bai spoke calmly: "Today, I came here because the young lady summoned me, yet upon my arrival, she treated me with hostility!"

"May I ask, have I ever offended the young lady?"

Lin Bai asked expressionlessly.

Tang Yuezhi paused, speaking coldly: "I called you here? When did I summon you to my abode?"

"Even if I wanted to see you, not at such a late hour, nor in my own residence!"

"If I wished to see you, it would certainly be within the main hall of the Tang Family!"

"Moreover, all the Tang Family Warriors know that after nightfall, no Warrior is allowed in my residence, not even my parents."

"How could I have called you?"

Tang Yuezhi spoke coldly.

Lin Bai hearing this, frowned, saying: "What does the young lady mean? You did not summon me? Then why did Nie Qian’er return to the Guest Quarters and inform me to find you!"

"And Nie Qian’er personally led me to your residence!"

Lin Bai spoke earnestly.

"Qian’er?" Tang Yuezhi’s expression turned icy: "It seems there’s more to this situation than it appears!"

"Guest Official Lin Bai, please wait a moment, allow me to heal, and by dawn, I will surely give you a satisfactory answer!"

Tang Yuezhi spoke with an icy demeanor.

Lin Bai raised his head, observing the sky, realizing that dawn was not far off.

...

Soon, Tang Yuezhi stabilized her injuries, donned a clean robe.

The activity outside Tang Yuezhi’s residence attracted many Tang Family experts, who flocked to the serene courtyard, observing its ruins.

Among them, a middle-aged man, wearing a golden crown and a black-patterned Python Dragon Robe, exuding authority, arrived outside Tang Yuezhi’s small courtyard, immediately calling out: "Yuezhi, how are you?"

This middle-aged man was none other than the current Patriarch of the Tang Family, Tang Yuezhi’s father, named Tang Jingsiu!

Accompanying the Patriarch were numerous Tang Family experts and elders.

"Young lady Yuezhi’s residence exploded again!"

"Seems it’s the Black Water Divine Thunder causing trouble again!"

"Alas, though Black Water Divine Thunder is extremely powerful, not everyone can control it!"

"Young lady Yuezhi has only been cultivating the Black Water Divine Thunder for two or three years, yet her residence has been blown apart five or six times, each time she suffers severe injuries!"

"But it isn’t young lady Yuezhi’s fault, after all, the old City Lord is nearing his end, and the Eight Great Clans are competing for Warriors to inherit the City Lord’s position; young lady Yuezhi is eager for success, driving her to cultivate Black Water Divine Thunder!"

These experts and elders floated in mid-air, speaking worriedly.

Tang Jingsiu showed a concerned expression as he looked into the residence.

At this moment, a wickedly charming youth approached everyone, chuckled lightly, and said: "Family seniors, this explosion at young lady Yuezhi’s residence wasn’t caused by her cultivating Black Water Divine Thunder, but because she was dueling with someone..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Jingsiu and everyone else turned to this wickedly charming youth, none other than... Tang Yang!
