Gu Yongwang, a villager from Xugou Village, was watching TV at home with his wife and children when a rumbling thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

His 6-year-old son was so frightened that he shrank into his arms.

"That's strange. The weather forecast on TV just finished. Didn't it say that the area around Qiantang would be sunny tonight?" The wife, who was knitting, was also startled by the sudden thunder and complained.

Gu Yongwang, watching TV, said, "Summer thunderstorms can come unexpectedly, so it's normal for weather forecasts to be inaccurate."

His wife still felt something was wrong: "But when I went out to pour out the water from washing my feet, there were stars and the moon in the sky, and not a single cloud."

"Maybe you're seeing things," Gu Yongwang replied casually.

His wife put down her knitting needles and pinched him, saying, "You're the one who's seeing things."

"Click"

Suddenly, another flash of lightning.

Even Gu Yongwang was taken aback this time.

"Why does it feel like the lightning is so close?"

Gu Yongwang turned off the TV and said to his wife, "Quick, go and unplug all the appliances in the house."

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah... Waaaah..."

The wind outside the window grew stronger and stronger, and the wind lashed against the windowpane with a constant "bang, bang" sound.

"Pitter-patter..." The sound of raindrops came densely from the windows and roof.

Looking out the window at the torrential rain, strong winds, and lightning, my wife murmured, "It looks like a tornado has struck."

At this moment, many people in Xugou Village and even nearby villages and towns are silently watching the sudden wind, rain, thunder and lightning outside their windows.

...

Bai Yanxi, however, did not fall asleep as Wu You had expected. Instead, he sat up as he listened to the thunder and wind outside the window, his eyes half-closed and unfocused.

"Nine in the fifth place: The flying dragon is in the sky; it is advantageous to see a great man."

...

Wu You in the room has already started observation mode.

Lightning flashes and silver snakes danced all around, and the intensity of the rain deep in Shiniu Mountain was like a river overflowing its banks.

"Click" "Click" "Click" "Click"...

Lightning struck the Azure Dragon Ao Guang almost without pause, causing its body to crackle with dazzling arcs of electricity.

The Qinglong River beneath him was struck by lightning, causing its surface to flash in bursts of light, and countless river fish, shrimp, and crabs floated to the surface, belly up.

Ao Guang flicked his tail fin heavily across the water's surface.

With a "bang," the river water at the point of impact sprayed wildly in all directions, creating deep craters several meters deep in the riverbed's silt.

Using the force of the recoil, Ao Guang went against the rain, struggling to meet the low-hanging rain clouds in the sky, attracting even more lightning to drench him.

...

This thunderstorm is very unusual, especially for the villagers of Xugou Village. Almost everyone is now looking out of their windows at the sky.

The lightning strikes were mostly concentrated deep within Shiniu Mountain, and were so dense that they gave one the illusion of being able to see in the dark.

The apocalyptic scene prompted the elderly in the village to pray incessantly at home, seeking divine intervention and worshipping Buddha.

Shen Haomin, the nearly 70-year-old village chief, watched the raging wind and rain outside his window from his home.

"This is probably the Goddess of Lightning seeking out evil spirits, and the God of Thunder striking down demons."

When his son heard the old village chief's statement, he replied to his father with some amusement.

"Dad, you're a government official, why would you believe in such feudal superstitions?"

"Get lost! What feudal superstition? You mean you won't worship me after I die?"

"Dad, that's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?"

...

Not only were the households in Xugou Village buzzing with discussion, but even the Qiantang Meteorological Bureau was paying close attention to this thunderstorm.

The observation center is extremely busy right now, with all sorts of data flowing into the computers, but they still can't find the cause of the rainstorm.

"The center is located deep in the Shiniu Mountain on the southeast side of the xS area. The wind force at the center is predicted to exceed level 10. The radiation range of the center is about 30 kilometers. Other areas outside are still sunny."

An observer was reporting to his superior.

"What's the cause? Have you found out?" the meteorological bureau leader asked, looking at the large weather cloud map screen in the bureau.

The observer replied, "It hasn't been determined yet, but a tropical storm at sea has been ruled out."

"Continue to monitor the situation and issue an orange alert for heavy rain."

"yes"

...

The Azure Dragon ascended directly into the clouds, absorbing every bolt of lightning that struck it, shaking its scales, and tempering its entire body.

In observation mode, Wu You could even vaguely sense Ao Guang's physical pain and mental excitement.

The blue scales grew brighter and brighter, and Ao Guang's body slowly expanded under the tempering of lightning.

20 meters long, 25 meters long, 30 meters long... 50 meters long.

The body also becomes thicker proportionally.

It'll be here soon!

Wu You could sense that Ao Guang's accumulated power was becoming uncontrollable. It thrashed about in the clouds, its powerful tail striking the air with a deafening roar each time.

"Click"

The world was suddenly bathed in bright light.

A resounding dragon's roar, seemingly from ancient times and carrying a metallic sheen, echoed throughout the Stone Ox Mountains.

...

Wu You jumped out of bed suddenly. It worked!

A system notification followed immediately.

System notification: Thunder Azure Dragon Ao Guang has successfully completed its mortal transformation. Congratulations on obtaining your first silver creature.

Alchemical Creature: Thunder Azure Dragon, Name: Ao Guang

Talents: Wind and Thunder, Water Control, Demonic Power

Abilities: Water Release, Thundercloud Rain, Dragon Soaring, Tail Swinging, Entanglement

Basic Assessment: Silver Beginner (Can be trained, lacks Transcendent Energy Materials)

Additional comment: This is a ferocious ancient monster that transcends the mortal realm.

Just as Wu You was getting excited, the surprises brought by the system were not yet over.

Note: Permissions granted, Demon God's Power

Note: It can be used with the help of a small amount of silver or higher-level creative power. The limit of its use depends on one's own mental strength.

The explanation of this permission was so clear and easy to understand that Wu Youxin was overjoyed.

Furthermore, it's unclear whether this ability can be used in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

...

As the transformation of the Thunder Azure Dragon Ao Guang was completed, the sudden thunderstorm clouds quickly dissipated in the sky.

Residents of villages near Shiniushan can finally rest in peace, while the Qiantang Meteorological Bureau is busy as a result.

The next morning, the villagers of Xugou Village went out for morning exercise and to work. They told each other that they had heard the roar of a dragon during the torrential rain the night before, and some even said they had seen a real dragon flying in the sky, wrapped in lightning.

Some young people in the village also posted on some major forums, vividly describing the sudden downpour and dragon roar of the previous night, and attached photos of lightning.

One post was particularly vivid, not only recording the start and end times of the thunderstorm, but also including a photo of what appeared to be a dragon-like creature coiled around lightning and soaring into the sky.

It quickly sparked heated discussions online and in the Qiantang area, with some expressing excitement, others mocking it, and still others explaining it as a natural phenomenon based on scientific knowledge.

The Longteng incident at Shiniushan Mountain has become one of the most talked-about topics among ordinary people.
