How come this mage can fight better than a warrior?

Long Dong: "What about those coffins and corpses on the cliff?" This is also a question in Long Dong's mind.

Bone-Erosion Thunder Eagle: "This is a ceremony to worship the Thunder God. This is where the Thunder God fell. People think this is a blessed land. Everyone hopes to receive the protection of the Thunder God after death. That's why they sent all the corpses to me."

Long Dong: "So you ate them all?"

Bone-Erosion Thunder Eagle: "I don't want to do that either. People are superstitious and insist on doing this, so what can I do? And if the corpses are not disposed of quickly, it is very easy for viruses and plagues to breed. I can't do anything about it. Especially when it comes to the anniversary of the death of the Thunder God, there are so many people coming to send off their loved ones."

Long Dong, Jia Ming and Tai Xu didn't believe what the Bone Erosion Thunder Eagle said. Long Dong: "I think these are all excuses."

Bone-Erosion Thunderhawk: "Believe it or not! Anyway, you will know it on the anniversary of the death of Thunder God."

Two days passed like this, and it was the day of the death of the Thunder God. When Long Dong was still asleep, the Bone-Eroding Thunder Eagle had already withdrawn the Heavenly Thunder Demon Slaying Formation. Long Dong woke up from his sleep when he realized that the formation had disappeared. Long Dong opened his eyes and found that it was only dawn.

When the Heavenly Thunder Formation was withdrawn, Taixu and Jiaming were also instantly awakened.

Bone-Erosion Thunder Eagle: "Let's go together, kids. Let's go down the mountain."

Jiaming: "You'd better not do anything weird."

Long Dong asked Jiaming to overlook the overall situation from the top of the mountain, while he took Taixu back into the contract space and followed the Bone-Eroding Thunder Eagle down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there were already crowds of people. People knelt devoutly around an altar. The Bone-Eroding Thunder Eagle placed the stone drum in the center of the altar.

Close to the altar were the king, princes, etc. A little further out were some nobles, and further out were some merchants, etc. Everyone lined up neatly outside the altar.

As the sacrificial ceremony began, smoke began to fill the altar. The ceremony lasted for two hours. Long Dong was interested at first, but later he became impatient.

The drumming activity did not begin until the sacrificial ceremony was over. To Long Dong's surprise, there were thousands of people who came to beat the drums.

Long Dong: "There are so many people. How long do we have to wait?"

Bone-Erosion Thunder Eagle: "You are the last one. This number is already considered small. This is the result of screening through layers of screening. The people here are all known as geniuses among geniuses. But in fact, there are less than a hundred who can beat the stone drum."

As expected by the Bone-Erosion Thunder Eagle, a dozen people came up and started beating the stone drum. There was no response at all. Finally, one of them struck it. But after that, he never thought about it again.

Long Dong carefully observed the people who knocked the bells. He found that they all had one thing in common. They were all able to use lightning magic to some extent. The person who knocked the bells three times was a 16-year-old fourth-level lightning magic boy.

Long Dong: "Is there a possibility? This stone drum can only be struck by a thunder magician."

Bone-Erosion Thunder Eagle: "That's true. But thunder magicians are rare. The probability is one in a thousand. If you count the geniuses in the thunder system, it's one percent. Thunder magic geniuses are even rarer. A thunder god appears only once every ten million years. In order not to miss the thunder genius, geniuses of other systems are also allowed to knock on the stone drum to see if they have thunder talent. But very few can make it work. Those who can usually make it work are thunder magicians."

After an unknown amount of time, a person who knocked seven times appeared. This person was also recognized as a genius. The king personally invited him to study at the Royal School of Magic.

Although the thunder type is rare, its strength is also recognized. It is common for thunder types to challenge opponents of higher levels.

Soon, all the people in line had finished knocking, and the king was ready to let everyone go. Bone-Erosion Thunder Eagle: "Wait a minute, there's one more person."

The Bone-Erosion Thunder Eagle asked Long Dong to go up and knock it. Long Dong walked up calmly with the Tianjiao Hammer.

The king immediately asked the Bone-Eroding Thunder Eagle: "Who is the Thunder God's Worshiper?"

Bone-Erosion Thunder Eagle: "Don't ask, just look at his performance."

Long Dong stood in front of the stone drum, raised the Tianjiao Hammer and hit the stone drum hard.

The moment the hammer and drum touched, the sky and the earth changed color, lightning and thunder roared. The stone drum glowed all over. The movement of Long Dong hammering the stone drum was completely different from that of others. The sound of Long Dong hammering the stone drum touched people's souls and hearts, as if reminding everyone in the world who was beating the drum.

Although he had the experience of hitting the drum once, Long Dong was still a little worried that he wouldn't be able to hit it well, so he used all his strength to hit the drum for the first time. After all, that was how Long Dong hit it last time.

But after playing the drums, Long Dong felt refreshed. It was like opening up his Ren and Du meridians. Others would feel exhausted after playing the drums, but Long Dong felt very comfortable. This also made Long Dong full of confidence.

Long Dong continued to beat the drum amid everyone's surprised gazes.

One! Two! Three!

Long Dong quickly swung the Tianjiao Hammer and struck the stone drum. Soon, he finished ten times easily.

Bone-Erosion Thunder Eagle: "Long Dong. Don't stop. See where your limit is!"

After hearing what the Bone-Eroding Thunder Eagle said, Long Dong continued to beat the drum. Eleven, twelve, and thirteen, Long Dong just kept beating. Later, Long Dong's beating even began to become rhythmic. Listening to Long Dong's drumming was like listening to a beautiful piece of music.

This also stunned the others. You know, many people have to work hard to knock once or twice, and some people can't knock at all. But Long Dong can knock without stopping.

Others would be exhausted after knocking once or twice, but Long Dong seemed to be very relaxed.

When Long Dong knocked 20 times, everyone was talking among themselves. When he knocked 40 times, everyone was full of admiration. When he knocked 60 times, everyone was in disbelief.

Soon, Long Dong knocked sixty-six times. At this moment, Long Dong was a little tired. It was still very strenuous to knock on the stone drum. But Long Dong had no intention of stopping. He just knocked a little slower.

Long Dong knocked the drum for more than ten times. At this moment, Long Dong was sweating profusely. Everyone thought that Long Dong would stop. But Long Dong still raised the Tianjiao Hammer and continued to beat the drum.

After that, Long Dong beat the drum more and more slowly. By the time he beat the drum ninety-fifth time, Long Dong felt that his arms were about to be broken.

The Bone-Erosion Thunder Eagle stared at Long Dong with wide eyes. He felt that Long Dong should still have some strength. Long Dong was the most likely person to complete the 100 reps.

Ninety-six! Ninety-seven! Ninety-eight!

Long Dong hit him three times in a row. These three hammers made Long Dong feel dizzy. Long Dong gasped for air: "This is too tiring. If I had known I would be so tired, I should have eaten more in the morning."

In Long Dong's mind, Zheng, Xue Shen, Tai Xu, and Jia Ming all stared at Long Dong. Long Dong raised the Tianjiao Hammer again. With a loud bang!

Ninety-nine!

One more time!

Everyone held their breath and waited for Long Dong to complete the 100 strikes! Long Dong did not disappoint everyone and once again raised the Tianjiao Hammer and smashed the stone drum. Long Dong successfully completed the 100 strikes.

The Bone-Erosion Thunder Eagle was also very excited. Long Dong actually successfully completed the 100 strikes. However, it still felt a little disappointed. It thought that Long Dong, who completed the 100 strikes, would inherit the power of the Thunder God, or that the Thunder God would reappear. But nothing happened.
