Their spirits relaxed, some bragged while others listened to Old Meng, the driver, telling tales of the pugilistic world, finding their own carefree joy.
Meanwhile, Li Yan went alone to an abandoned house far from the ancestral hall, set up the drum stand, and pulled off the waterproof oilcloth covering the Cloud Thunder Divine Drum.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Soon, the drumming vibrated the room, causing dust to fall from the roof.
Since Li Yan was practicing the Thunder Sound of the Divine Drum and using Hidden Energy while chanting the "True Word" 'hum', the drum sound was exceptionally loud and echoed clearly throughout the whole village.
The porters and the driver, accustomed to the sound during their journey, paid it no mind and even listened with relish.
