(Beast Subjugation Arc)
Morning sunlight fell across the Azure Sky Sect training grounds. Disciples practiced sword forms in neat rows. The air was peaceful. Serene.
Then came the scream.
"WHO LET THAT THING INTO THE ARENA!?"
Li Ming froze mid-step as a golden blur shot past him — Lei Shan, tail crackling, horn glowing, sprinting straight through the practice field like a lightning bolt with legs.
The disciples scattered. One unlucky sword cultivator spun in panic and slashed the air — only for Lei Shan to leap over it, land on his shoulder, and let out a tiny brrrp of static.
The man's hair stood straight up.
Li Ming dragged a hand down his face. "Thunderbub…"
Bai Guo landed beside him, looking way too amused. "Your son's conquering the sect. You must be so proud."
"I'm about three seconds away from grounding him for eternity," Li Ming muttered, sprinting after the cub.

Lei Shan had already moved on.
