Youth Song: Leijiabao Thunder Emperor

Upon hearing Lei Dong's words, both of them looked at him.

"In Taoist terms, cultivation is fundamental, which means physical and mental strength."

Each major realm has its unique aspects, and those who wish to achieve greater success need to delve deeper into them.

The Northern Li region is dominated by sword cultivators who prioritize artistic conception. Therefore, they do not place much emphasis on physical development.

I believe that sword cultivators have high skill but low defense and lack staying power. They rely too much on their mental state. Once their mental state is compromised, they may fall from grace or even suffer a qi deviation.

Even when cultivating swordsmanship, one cannot abandon one's own cultivation.

Swordsmanship is ultimately just a skill. Without strong cultivation, it's merely a castle in the air.

With sufficient cultivation, even the most basic swordsmanship is merely icing on the cake.

Combat is about strength, speed, defense, and endurance, and clearly my training method encompasses all of these.

What Lei Dong didn't say was that if Lei Wujie were to forge a sword, he would inevitably have to cultivate the Sword Heart Technique. The idea of ​​nurturing a sword for three days and then instantly cultivating the sword heart sounds incredibly impressive.

The extent of the harm it causes to oneself is something only those who use it know.

How did Li Xinyue die? It was because after seven days of nurturing her sword, her meridians were severed in a single battle.

In addition, the fire-scorching technique is a desperate move. If this kid doesn't toughen up his body, he might kill himself one day.

"Brother Lei's words have enlightened me. I have no desire to learn more."

"This is the path you've always taken, so why thank me? But you've learned too many things; in reality, only a few are truly useful in a fight. You should pick out the key points to learn. Just have a general understanding of the rest."

"You'll naturally pay attention in the future if you don't mean to."

"boom."

Just as Lei Dong was bragging, another commotion came from Lei Wujie's side.

The encasing ball of lightning suddenly exploded, forming a lightning field several meters wide. Lei Wujie was drawn up by the lightning and slowly flew up, sitting cross-legged in the void.

Then, to the astonishment of the three, he slowly stood up and assumed a punching stance. As he gathered his strength, the surrounding lightning began to converge towards his fist.

"Wow, this looks pretty good."

With feet treading on the void and hands wielding thunder, he could shatter sand and gravel several meters away. Even those who watched him with envy were filled with a desire to take his place.

"After watching it, I even want to learn thunder magic."

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's a reincarnation of an immortal."

Lei Dong wasn't the only one who felt envious; they were all young people. Xiao Se and Wu Xin felt a little bitter. Regardless of their strength, they were undeniably handsome.

"Damn it."

"Depend on."

"..."

Just as the three were admiring Lei Wujie's moment of glory, none of them expected that this fool would suddenly throw a punch, and it was aimed directly at them.

Lei Wujie threw a punch, sending a massive ball of lightning hurtling towards them. The arcs of lightning that emanated from it left several deep and shallow trenches in the ground.

Lei Dong instantly stepped in front of Xiao Se. Before he could even make a move, two large glass bells enveloped the three of them.

It is the unintentional defensive technique, Prajna Heart Sutra.

The next moment, the lightning ball struck Xin Zhong directly.

Suddenly, the hissing of thunder and the scraping of glass intertwined to create a very piercing sound.

Especially inside the bell, Xiao Se covered his ears, his face showing pain.

Seeing the lightning ball dissipate and only a few cracks appear in Prajna Heartbeat, Lei Dong knew he didn't need to intervene.

So they started commenting again.

"Lightning attacks aren't that powerful, so why does this thing also have a sonic attack?"

"If you taught it, who are you going to ask?"

Xiao Se shook his head in anguish, somewhat speechless, because after looking around, it seemed that he was the only one who was injured.

"Senior brother succeeded! I succeeded! I'm now in the Free Realm, and I can use lightning too!"

Lei Wujie, who had just landed on the ground, instantly darted to Lei Dong's side, grabbing his sleeve with an excited expression.

"Hmm, not bad. It's great that you've mastered the basics in just one day."

Just one step away from the mid-stage of the Free and Unfettered Realm, your foundation is solid. This is even better than breaking through to the mid-stage. Very good, well done! You're about to enter a period of explosive growth. Don't rush to break through. Savor the profound mysteries of the Free and Unfettered Realm.

Seeing the excited Lei Wujie, he placed one hand on his wrist and the other on his shoulder, then nodded in satisfaction.

"Congratulations, Brother Lei, on your great progress in your skills."

Even without intention, I send my blessings.

Xiao Se also revealed a slight smile, which he quickly suppressed. He spoke slowly.

You've ruined three days' worth of food. Go buy some tomorrow.

"Xiao Se, why are you such a spoilsport? I finally broke through, can't you even make me happy?"

Upon hearing Xiao Se's words, Lei Wujie immediately became resentful. He looked exactly like a timid, submissive wife.

"I'm afraid you'll tear me apart if you're happy. Look what you've done."

As he spoke, Xiao Se pointed to the makeshift camp that had been plowed up.

Lei Wujie immediately felt guilty upon seeing this.

Good heavens, everything is gone except for the people. Even the new clothes that Xiao Se secretly bought with Lei Dong's money this afternoon after much pleading and cajoling are gone.

"Um, well, I just broke through and didn't control it well."

"Then control it properly. That huge lightning ball is just intimidating to look at; it didn't even break through Wuxin's defenses. Learn from your senior brother."

Xiao Se clearly remembered that Lei Dong smashed through the Purple-Clad Marquis's defensive barrier with a single punch.

Lei Wujie's cultivation level is now higher than Lei Dong's.

Their momentum seemed much greater than Lei Dong's, yet they couldn't even break through Wu Xin's defenses. There must be something wrong, so I warned them.

"Senior brother."

Upon hearing Xiao Se's words, Lei Wujie immediately looked at Lei Dong.

"It's normal for you to be breaking through while you're still learning. As your skills improve, your control over lightning will deepen, and its power will naturally increase as well."

Your problem now is that your attacks are too scattered. There's absolutely no control, let alone any compression. I'll train you on this tomorrow. Don't rush it."

As Lei Dong spoke, he raised two fingers, and a silver-white ball the size of a billiard ball formed at the fingertips.

"What difference do you feel?"

"It's white. Mine seems to be blue."

Lei Wujie thought for a moment and blurted it out.

"Not a single ounce of energy leaked out. It looked perfectly calm."

Wu Xin looked at the lightning ball on Lei Dong's finger with a solemn expression.

Lei Wujie's punch looked intimidating, but it posed little threat to him. However, seeing the ball of lightning on Lei Dong's finger gave him a sense of unease.

"This is the compression you mentioned."

Xiao Se asked, recalling Lei Dong's words.

"That's right, any energy will undergo a qualitative change when compressed."

Take sword energy and sword aura, for example.

Lightning is the same, only it is more violent and harder to control.

This isn't something I can teach you; I can only teach you the method. The rest is up to you to practice.

As Lei Dong spoke, he pointed with two fingers, and a small ball of lightning struck a stone brick, instantly emitting a blinding white light.

By the time the three of them could see clearly, the stone bricks had already turned to dust.

"This is compressed lightning. As long as it hits, no matter what level of cultivation he is, he will be crippled even if he doesn't die."

Lei Dong was quite domineering at this moment. However, he felt powerless when he thought about facing the Purple-Clad Marquis.

You can't hit them at all.

The difference in cultivation level is too great. Attacks can't even get close.

Even close-range attacks can be easily dodged. Even if you launch a surprise attack, a single burst of damage can send you flying. You're simply no match for them.
