Around ten o'clock, the sky suddenly darkened, and endless black clouds gathered, completely covering the entire sky in the night. Amidst lightning and thunder, raindrops as big as beans poured down, like a waterfall falling from the sky, with an extremely huge momentum.
Tang San had just arrived at the mountain gate of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and had not had time to submit his visiting card when he encountered a heavy rain. This torrential rain came suddenly and the disciples stationed there hid in the house next to the mountain gate. Seeing Tang San and the carriage outside, they were kind enough to let Tang San in to shelter from the rain. The rain was too heavy and hiding in the carriage was not a good option.
The leader of the disciples on guard looked at Tang San, who was patting himself of the rain, and found it somewhat incredible that he was not completely soaked in such heavy rain. However, Tang San was speechless. If it weren't for the invisible air shield supported by his spirit power, his clothes would have been completely soaked by now. However, under the terrifying fall of the bean-sized raindrops, they still broke through the spirit power shield, making his clothes slightly wet. This made him doubt whether this rain was just ordinary rain. He was at the level of a Spirit Emperor after all, and even the spirit power shield he cast was somewhat unable to withstand it. In his memory of the past fifteen years, he had not experienced such heavy rain many times.
Tang San nodded at the little leader and said with a smile: "My name is Tang San. I'm here to visit your clan leader. I know him. I'm a recent graduate from Blue Hegemony Academy and a good friend of your eldest lady, Ning Rongrong. I'm the vice-captain of the Blue Hegemony team, and Rongrong is one of my team members."
The young leader clasped his fists in surprise and saluted, saying, "So it's Young Master Tang. I'm Zhang San, the leader guarding the mountain gate. I've long heard of the prestige of your Blue Tyrant Team. When we first heard that Miss was participating in this year's Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition, we couldn't help but sweat for her. We didn't expect you to overcome all the obstacles along the way and win the championship. This is not only an honor for your academy, but also an honor for our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. I was wondering what kind of characters the two captains leading the team were. If I had the honor of meeting them, I would definitely make friends with them. However, I've been busy with official duties and haven't had the time to see you. Now that Young Master Tang has come to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, I find that you are indeed a rare talent, handsome and talented. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Tang San clasped his fists in greeting and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang, you're too kind. Compared to Rongrong, I'm still far behind. She's truly a gifted girl. To be honest, Brother Zhang, I came here to do business with Uncle Ning. I didn't expect it to rain so heavily before I even handed in my visiting card, stopping me here. It seems I'll have to choose another time to visit."
Zhang San glanced out the window and saw the water on the road rising rapidly. He realized the rain was indeed getting heavier, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Tang, there's no rush to submit your visiting card. Let's wait. The rain will stop soon. Today's rain was too heavy. It could have triggered a mudslide. The water on the ground is piling up, and the drainage system can't handle such a large amount of rainwater. If I hadn't let you in to take shelter, your carriage would have been submerged."
Tang San nodded and said, "Well, that's the only way. I haven't seen this kind of rain in over a decade, right? I remember that every rain we've seen in recent years has been five times less than this. I was able to come in and take shelter from the rain thanks to Brother Zhang San's kindness in taking me in. Otherwise, I would have been in dire straits outside."
Zhang San laughed heartily and said, "I took you in because you're young, sunny, and handsome, and you don't look like a bad guy. Plus, it was raining really hard. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a good excuse to make an exception and take you in."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the accumulated water on the ground was about to spread to the floor of the house. You have to know that this house was built on a wooden frame one and a half meters above the ground. The water rose to the floor, which means that the water was already one meter high and was about to flood the house.
Tang San glanced at the place where he had parked his carriage before. The horses and carriage were directly washed away by the terrifying flow of rain. This made him very anxious. If the horses were gone, he would have to run back to Tiandou City on foot when the rain stopped. He had not made any profit on this trip yet, and he had already lost a carriage. It was a bit of a disadvantageous start.
Zhang San smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, judging by the amount of rain, it won't stop any time soon. Let's sit down and have a cup of tea to warm ourselves up. I only have some wild tea from the countryside, so I hope you don't mind."
When Tang San heard Zhang San's invitation, he sat down and drank tea with Zhang San.
The rain was getting heavier and longer.
Some low-lying areas across the continent turned into swamps, and mudslides gushed out of the mountains and rushed into the villages, destroying crops. Some dilapidated houses were directly washed away. Fortunately, no one lived in them at the time, but some places were in terrible condition. Houses collapsed and people were buried inside.
"Mom, where are you?"
"Dad, no!"
"Grandpa, be careful! The house is collapsing!"
"No, God, please open your eyes! This is the only house I have. If it collapses, where will we all live?"
In almost every village, some settlements and the outskirts of small cities, some houses began to collapse after thirty minutes of continuous heavy rain, and there were signs that people were swept away and killed by the surging river.
In an hour, large areas of the forest were washed away by such terrible heavy rain. They slid down from the heights and rushed into the river with a "boom". As the surging river water flowed downstream, the soul beasts in the forest were panicked, hiding in tree holes or caves, trembling. The power of nature was really terrible. Many of their kind were either washed into the river by the rain or hit by rocks falling from the mountains. They could never get up again and finally disappeared in the erupting mudslide.
