My Mysterious Left Hand

"What?"

"Second place? How is that possible?"

"Doesn't that mean he's stronger than the vice principal?"

"Could he already be at the Great Cave Heaven Realm? He looks so young..."

Everyone was shocked again, looking at Huang Weixing with disbelief.

The old Taoist priest also looked incredulous.

Almost everyone here is at the ninth level of the mortal realm, and almost everyone came into contact with cultivators when the world passage first appeared.

"As far as I know, he's only nineteen years old this year."

Huang Weixing spoke again: "Moreover, the cultivation level shown on the boundary marker is only the fifth realm of mortals."

"The fifth realm of mortals?"

Immediately, a series of gasps of cold air echoed across the first floor of the research institute's main building.

With his cultivation at the fifth level of mortals, he surpassed everyone present and directly squeezed into second place in the Two Realms Monument. Just how terrifying is Teacher Li Chen's talent?

On the other side, Li Chen directly used the ability inherent in his Space-Time Dao Body to travel a hundred meters in a single step, quickly leaving the city and heading into the distance.

The palm thunder he just deduced was only a prototype, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Furthermore, the reason he left in such a hurry was not entirely because he was angered by that arrogant old Taoist priest, but because he wanted to collect the lightning element he had created and then try other things.

After traveling for over a hundred miles, Li Chen discovered that life on this planet was extremely scarce, with even plants being rare.

Everywhere was barren, like an uninhabited planet.

However, in some low-lying areas, there is moisture and moss, and living things are mixed in.

Those creatures looked like flattened crocodiles, devoid of any intelligence, and seemed quite menacing.

Apart from that, there doesn't seem to be any danger.

"Something's not right. Since the higher-ups chose this place as the site for the cultivation academy, they should logically be guarding the dangerous passages, but why does this passage feel the safest?"

Li Chen couldn't help but frown: "Is there something I don't understand? Or is it because this planet is so large, and I haven't explored the entire planet yet?"

He didn't waste any time thinking about it and went straight to a small hill to study the Palm Thunder technique he had just learned.

The source energy within his dantian was mobilized, and a miniature magic array reappeared in his palm.

Under his control, the miniature magic array slowly evolved into the character "雷" (thunder).

"This speed is too slow. If we were to use this kind of magic in battle, the corpses would probably be cold by then."

Li Chen modified the array pattern lines of the miniature magic array again, making continuous adjustments.

After a long while, another, slightly more refined, character appeared: '雷' (thunder).

Then he took a picture of the distant hill.

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a finger, shot out, scorching a patch of blackened earth from the small hill and creating a crater the size of a fist in the ground.

The power is only so-so, but considering that lightning damage isn't entirely physical, it's understandable.

"The Palm Lightning spell isn't particularly powerful; the spell damage is sufficient, but the casting speed isn't fast enough."

This might require practice to increase casting speed.

So Li Chen continued to use this technique.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom……"

In the following time, lightning bolts appeared continuously, each capable of blasting a hundred meters away, with increasing speed and power.

"Just as I expected, proficiency can indeed increase power. The palm lightning I just used was at best a beginner's level."

Li Chen's comprehension is now extraordinary. In just a few minutes, he reached the minor completion level of the Palm Thunder technique.

Then, more than ten minutes later, the Palm Thunder was completed.

But he still didn't stop, feeling that this seemingly simple technique still had room for improvement.

Finally, an hour later, Li Chen raised his hand and unleashed a bolt of lightning.

"boom!"

Three hundred meters away, a boulder was shattered into pieces, with fine electric snakes darting about, which took several seconds to completely dissipate.

"Finally, I can cast instantly. Not bad. This should be considered perfect."

Li Chen pondered for a moment, then once again unleashed the Palm Lightning with his right hand.

However, after the character "雷" (thunder) was formed, he did not unleash it, but instead used his left hand to feel around in his right palm.

[Lightning Element +1]

"It really works."

Li Chen's lips curled slightly, and then he continued to channel source power into the character "雷" (thunder) in his right palm to maintain the spell and allow the miniature array to transform its attributes.

His left hand kept groping in his right palm.

[Lightning Element +1]

[Lightning Element +1]

[Lightning Element +1...]

One by one, the lightning elements were collected.

Meanwhile, the already limited source energy in his dantian was being rapidly depleted.

While gathering the materials, Li Chen also infused lightning elements into his own body.

Because there isn't enough space in the palm of my left hand to hold too much.

This time, he planned to completely transform his physical body with lightning element, so the amount of lightning element he needed to collect was enormous.

Fortunately, converting source energy into lightning element does not consume too much energy.

His dantian was enormous, so even though the amount of source energy he had was not much, it lasted for several hours before it was finally exhausted.

Li Chen did not stop. He took out the source stone, circulated his cultivation technique to absorb its energy, and continued to collect lightning elements to integrate into his body while restoring his source power.

Although these lightning elements, once integrated into the body, are automatically refined into the flesh and blood by the circulating cultivation technique—

However, the pure lightning power left behind was also subtly transforming his physical body.

20,000... 30,000... 50,000...

His physical body is now too powerful; a small amount of lightning element cannot even change the attributes of his body.

Moreover, the characteristics of the left hand are very strange; any attribute that can be incorporated will force the body to adapt.

As long as you don't feel any discomfort during the integration process, there won't be any hidden dangers after you've integrated.

Therefore, Li Chen was not worried that the lightning element he incorporated would conflict with his spacetime attribute Dao body.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, when he poured 100,000 lightning attributes into his body in one go, his body finally began to change.

Thunderclouds appeared silently in the sky above.

Inside the thundercloud, lightning flashed.

A strong sense of familiarity arose within Li Chen, and he found himself as if he could control the thunderclouds in the sky.

What surprised and puzzled him even more was that the thunderclouds seemed to be caused by the changes in his physical body, rather than by anything like a heavenly tribulation.

Is this a celestial phenomenon resulting from a transformation of the Dao body?

Li Chen's eyes flashed, a hint of anticipation in his heart.

Seeing lightning strike down from within the thundercloud, he resisted the urge to resist and decided to follow his instincts and continue circulating his cultivation technique.

"boom……"

Soon, the first bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking him directly on the top of his head.

As expected, just as he had imagined, the lightning bolt did not cause him any harm; on the contrary, it accelerated the transformation of his physical body.

Moreover, after absorbing the lightning, he found that he had a stronger sense of control over the thunderclouds in the sky.

Furthermore, its affinity with lightning has been further enhanced.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom……"

The lightning grew increasingly dense, striking down relentlessly.

At first, only bolts of lightning fell one by one, but later, more than a dozen bolts of lightning fell at the same time, covering the entire area.

Perhaps because too much lightning had fallen, or perhaps because the spacetime body had been stimulated, the area where Li Chen was located was surrounded by a scene of time chaos.

It felt as if I had suddenly returned to the situation half an hour ago, and then it felt as if the scene of the next half hour was being reflected.

Numerous phantoms overlapped and flickered continuously.

"Boom boom boom..."

The thunder grew increasingly domineering, and gradually, the thunderclouds overhead transformed into a vortex, covering an ever-expanding area.

Even in cities a hundred miles away, everyone sensed the commotion and looked over in surprise.

"boom--"

Finally, another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting Li Chen's body and being absorbed by it.

The next moment, a feeling of completeness arose.

The chaotic phenomenon of time dissipated instantly, and the place returned to normal.

Immediately afterwards, a message surfaced in Li Chen's mind, making him understand his current state and that he had acquired a new supernatural power.
