Chapter 32: Creating Power At the bottom of the Thunder Valley, there was a violent wind, lightning and thunder in the sky, and the lightning kept flashing in the black clouds. From time to time, a thick bolt of lightning would fall from the sky and strike into a silver light unknown amount of time had passed before a silver light shield suspended in mid-air at the bottom of the valley began to emit a faint lightning flash. Electric light flickered on the surface of the light shield, sometimes brighter and sometimes darker, and the dim light illuminated the surrounding mountain walls. Inside the light shield, Xiao Yun was sitting cross-legged in mid-air. At this moment, he was mentally exhausted from his previous fight against the power of thunder and was in an unconscious mysterious state. Just when Xiao Yun was in a semi-comatose state, the silver light shield automatically attracted the power of thunder in the valley bottom, and then slowly poured it into his body. The power of thunder flowed along his meridians, and the huge energy contained in it constantly repaired Xiao Yun's broken body. The power of thunder was flowing along the meridians, and wherever it passed, lightning flashed. The meridians, flesh, and bones in the body were absorbing the energy at an astonishing speed, and then they continued to become stronger. The meridians became thicker, and the flesh and bones became tougher, several degrees higher than before. While the power of thunder was repairing Xiao Yun's internal body, the charred surface of his body was also gradually changing. The muscles beneath the surface of the skin were rapidly strengthened, and an explosive force gathered within them. The skin on the surface of the body, layer by layer of charred epidermis, was rapidly falling off like a giant snake shedding its skin, and in its place was the white and delicate skin of a newborn baby. With the continuous infusion of thunder power, Xiao Yun's originally severely injured body was restored to its original state, and even became much stronger than before. Suddenly, at a certain moment, the silver light shield no longer attracted the surrounding thunder power, and immediately burst out with dazzling lightning, illuminating the entire bottom of the valley. In the light, a young figure gradually emerged. "boom!" With a loud thunderous sound, countless silver lightning energies shot out from the light shield and towards the surroundings. As the light shield disappeared, Xiao Yun's body floated in the air.
He suddenly opened his eyes, lightning flashed in his eyes, and burst out with a blue light. Xiao Yun slowly fell to the ground. The big rock here had already been shattered by thunder. He clenched his fists and raised his hands and feet. Suddenly, there was a crackling sound of bones colliding. Feeling the powerful force contained in his body, Xiao Yun let out a long roar to the sky, releasing the waste gas in his chest. "You little brat, you really made me worried to death this time." Before Xiao Yun could carefully check the changes in his body, he heard a familiar old voice echoing in the valley. He looked up in surprise, "Teacher? Why are you here?" "call!" A sound of breaking wind was heard, and the next moment, an old man appeared in front of Xiao Yun. It was Elder Huo. Elder Huo raised his hand and slapped Xiao Yun hard on the head. Seeing his disciple's aggrieved expression, he said unhappily, "Stinky boy, do you know how long you have been practicing this time to draw lightning into your body?" "About... a day?" Xiao Yun said uncertainly as he looked at the light gradually rising in the sky. "Huh, one day? You practiced for seven days this time! Or three days ago, the guys in your dormitory found out that you hadn't come back, so they informed Old Man Su. After Old Man Su told me, I learned that you had begun to draw lightning into your body." "Didn't I tell you that if you couldn't bear it anymore, you should immediately leave Thunder Valley? Is this what you promised me?" Elder Huo snorted coldly, looking at Xiao Yun with an increasingly unfriendly look. "Uh... I didn't expect that it would take so long to draw lightning into my body for the first time. I'm sorry to trouble you for your concern, teacher." Xiao Yun touched his head angrily and lowered his head, not daring to face Elder Huo. Looking down, Xiao Yun realized that all his clothes had been destroyed by the thunderbolt, so he was now standing naked in front of Elder Huo. His face instantly turned red, and he quickly took out a robe from his ring and put it on hastily. Seeing Xiao Yun's embarrassment, Elder Huo laughed and said jokingly, "How old are you, little brat? Are you really that shy?" "Teacher, please stop talking." His face became redder and redder. God, he was not a real child. He would feel embarrassed standing naked in front of a man even if that man was his teacher, okay? "You little brat, I see you've changed a lot this time." Elder Huo looked at Xiao Yun carefully, circled around him twice, and said in surprise, "You've broken through to the level of a nine-star Grand Fighter now? Weren't you only a seven-star Grand Fighter the last time you came back?" "Nine-star Grand Master?" Hearing Elder Huo's words, Xiao Yun was slightly stunned and quickly called out the panel to check. Then joy welled up on his face. He didn't expect that absorbing the power of thunder would have such benefits. You know, with his training speed, it is estimated that it will take a month to break through to the Nine-star Grand Master. But he didn't expect that after inducing thunder to temper his body and sleeping for seven days, his cultivation level could actually improve a lot. "Maybe the energy of heaven and earth here is too powerful. When I absorbed the power of thunder, I unconsciously absorbed some of the energy of heaven and earth, which led to my breakthrough to the Nine-Star Grand Master in one fell swoop." Xiao Yun explained his guess to Elder Huo. Elder Huo was in a complicated mood at the moment. He didn't know whether to reprimand Xiao Yun for taking the risk or praise his good luck. You must know that the energy between heaven and earth cannot be directly absorbed into the body, because it contains a large amount of impurities. If you absorb it directly, the fighting spirit in the body will be contaminated by impurities, which will cause irreparable damage to yourself.
"Maybe. A breakthrough in cultivation is a good thing after all. I see that the Dou Qi in your body is solid and pure, without any impurities. I think it was refined by lightning when the energy of heaven and earth entered your body, which allowed you to absorb it successfully." After a moment of silence, Elder Huo suddenly touched Xiao Yun's head and said earnestly: "Although you have a breakthrough in cultivation this time, don't take such risks again. Cultivation growth is not something that can be achieved overnight. You have a good talent, and your master doesn't want you to go the wrong way." Looking at the old man in front of him, Xiao Yun nodded and said softly: "I understand, teacher, before I break through to the Dou Ling realm, I will not draw lightning into my body again." "I'm glad you understand. Boy, tell me how it feels to draw lightning into your body." Elder Huo asked curiously. Hearing this, Xiao Yun grinned and told the detailed process of how he swallowed the golden thunder flower and absorbed the lightning, including how he used the power of thunder to repair and strengthen his body. "Hehe, you little brat, you are in real danger. If it weren't for the golden lightning flowers protecting your meridians, all your organs would have been burned to ashes the moment the lightning entered your body." Elder Huo listened to what Xiao Yun said with a frown. After a while, he said with some concern. Thunder and lightning are more violent than fire. If Xiao Yun introduces them into his body, if there is any mistake, he will be seriously injured at best, or even die without a burial place. And Xiao Yun, relying solely on his willpower and the protection of the golden lightning flowers, as well as his cultivation as a great fighting master, dared to draw in the heavenly thunder that even Elder Huo did not dare to touch. I don't know whether to say he was brave or stupid. "The result is good after all. Am I not safe and sound in the end?" Seeing Elder Huo frowning, Xiao Yun touched his head and said angrily. "You can't rely on luck every time!" Elder Huo rolled his eyes at Xiao Yun and said earnestly, "In fact, your technique requires golden lightning flowers only to increase your resistance to lightning and protect your meridians when lightning enters your body, right?" "That's right. The lightning between heaven and earth is absorbed by the operation of the technique. The golden lightning flower only assists itself in absorbing the power of thunder." "That's it. Then you can definitely refine a pill that can improve lightning resistance even better. Not to mention the sixth-grade Wind Lightning Pill, which has a very high lightning resistance, the third-grade Purple Thunder Pill and the fourth-grade Sky Thunder Pill are both pills that assist people with lightning attributes in their cultivation. Their effect of improving lightning resistance is stronger than the Golden Thunder Flower. Why didn't you think of it at the time?" As he spoke, Elder Huo knocked Xiao Yun's head hard again and asked viciously. "This... Teacher, you haven't taught me how to refine these two kinds of pills yet." Xiao Yun said a little aggrieved. He hadn't thought of these two kinds of pills, and even if he had thought of them, it would be useless because Elder Huo hadn't given him the recipes for these two kinds of pills yet. Hearing this, Elder Huo raised his eyebrows, and unhappily took out several volumes of pill recipes from his ring and threw them to Xiao Yun, "Next time, don't say that your master didn't teach you. I'll give you all the recipes, and you can refine whichever one you want." "Thank you, teacher!" With a look of joy, Xiao Yun quickly took the recipe and put it into his ring. "Okay, brat, everything is fine now, right? I'll take you back to the inner courtyard." Vigorous fighting spirit surged out of his body, and a pair of fiery red fighting spirit wings appeared behind Elder Huo. He took a step forward, and Xiao Yun, with a helpless look on his face, was caught under his arms. The wings vibrated, and Elder Huo took Xiao Yun and flew straight into the sky. …… After a while, Elder Huo brought Xiao Yun back to his residence in the inner courtyard. After putting Xiao Yun down, Elder Huo gave him some more instructions. Only after Xiao Yun was almost annoyed by his words did he leave. "Crench." Xiao Yun pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard and returned to the dormitory. "Boss, you're finally back!" As soon as he came back, he saw Fang Wen running towards him with a look of surprise on his face. Seeing that only Fang Wen was there, Xiao Yun asked in confusion: "Where are the others? Have they all gone to the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower to practice?" "No, ever since you left, many senior students have been causing trouble for us freshmen and demanding protection fees from us. Many freshmen, including the three of them, could not stand the pressure and joined the forces in the inner courtyard to seek protection. Now, only the two of us, the boss, are living in this dormitory." When it came to this, Fang Wen changed his previous joy and said with a sad face. "Oh? Do old students collect protection fees? Then why didn't you join?" "I want to join, but I feel that it would be unfair to you, Boss. Otherwise, when you come back, you will find that we have all run away." Xiao Yun nodded, indicating that he understood, and said with a smile: "That's right, later you go find other freshmen who haven't joined a faction yet, and tell them that I'm going to create a faction that can provide them with shelter." Fang Wen said with a look of surprise: "Really? Boss, if you want to create a power, can I join it?" "Of course you have to join. I'm usually busy with cultivation, so I'll need you to take charge. Okay, go and count them, and write down all those who are willing to join. I'll go in and practice first. Come find me again at this time tomorrow." After waving his hand and leaving a word, Xiao Yun walked straight into the house. He still had to check his own condition and had no time to chat with Fang Wen.
