Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

In the guest courtyard of the Shenxiao Sect, lightning flashed continuously.

Lin Bei sat cross-legged in the center of the courtyard, his hands forming a mudra, his body enveloped in a layer of pale golden lightning.

Lightning condensed into a thin curtain of light, enveloping his entire body.

Tiny electric arcs occasionally flickered on the surface of the light curtain, producing a crackling sound.

He had been practicing the Divine Firmament Exorcising Golden Light Thunder Realm spell for seven or eight days, and he was finally able to barely maintain this protective lightning light.

"Freeze!"

Lin Bei let out a low shout and suddenly pushed his hands outwards.

The lightning barrier suddenly expanded, covering an area three feet around him.

However, after only a dozen or so breaths, the layer of lightning began to become unstable.

Lin Bei had no choice but to withdraw his magic power, and the lightning slowly dissipated.

"The consumption was still a bit too high."

He sensed the mana in his dantian. "Maintaining this lightning barrier requires a continuous output of mana. At my current level, I can only sustain it for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

However, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn is enough. When it really comes down to life and death, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn can determine a lot of things.

Even for truly powerful individuals, the decision between life and death can be made in a single instant...

Lin Bei stood up, stretched his limbs, and began practicing the Five Thunder Fireball again.

Of the several spells bestowed upon him by Master Yu Lei, his favorite was the Five Thunder Fireball.

It has formidable single-target damage!

"Five Thunderbolts Fireball... Condense!"

Lin Bei opened his palm, and a fist-sized, crimson-gold pellet condensed and took shape in his palm.

The surface was crackling with lightning and fire, radiating a scorching and violent aura.

He felt the power contained within the bullet and nodded in satisfaction.

During this time, besides practicing magic, he also did not neglect to improve the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Netherworld Array.

This array, based on talisman arrays, has been basically finalized after repeated deduction and practice.

The Thunder Talisman is used for offense, the Fire Talisman for sealing, and the Wooden Stakes for trapping the enemy. The three methods are combined to form a complete offensive and defensive system.

"If I could obtain some higher-quality talisman-making materials, I could truly perfect the blue talisman version of the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Array," Lin Bei secretly calculated in his heart.

In the neighboring courtyard, Shi Shaojian has been practicing the Thunder Scissors technique even more diligently than Lin Bei ever since he obtained it!

If this guy had maintained this much dedication to training, he wouldn't be constantly fighting and crying for help!

As Shi Shaojian cast his spell, two bolts of lightning crossed into a scissor shape, severing the large tree in front of him in half.

"Hahaha! This power... is amazing!" Shi Shaojian's excited voice came over.

"You've practiced your lightning bolt cutting even more diligently than I have." Lin Bei walked to the neighboring yard, leaned against the door frame, and looked at him.

"Of course!"

Shi Shaojian proudly raised his chin, "I've never learned such a powerful spell in my life. How could I not master it?"

"Hmph, I need to get the old man's attention!"

"You always see me like a rebellious son!"

His lightning bolt scissors technique was indeed quite advanced; he could not only cut through wooden stakes but also change angles in mid-air to attack targets from tricky directions.

When used in conjunction with his wooden stake technique, the combination of trapping and scissing creates an almost unsolvable routine.

"Look at how pathetic you are..."

Lin Bei looked at him with disdain, "If you really want your master to think highly of you, you'd better produce some results!"

"Keep it up, young man!"

Shi Shaojian curled his lip, secretly thinking to himself: It's all because of you that Master stole my love!

snort......!

Just then, Zhou Xuanqing passed by outside the courtyard with several of his junior brothers.

Seeing Lin Bei and the other person cultivating in the courtyard, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Wang Shun, standing behind him, whispered, "Senior brother, why is this Fellow Daoist Lin cultivating so diligently?"

"I get up before dawn every day and don't finish until dark."

"You think everyone is you?"

Zhou Xuanqing glanced at him and said, "The reason why people can reach the late stage of the mage level at this age is because of their ruthlessness."

"If you were half as diligent as him, you wouldn't still be stuck at the mid-stage of the Daoist Master realm."

Wang Shun blushed deeply, feeling utterly humiliated...

Shi Shaojian came out of the courtyard and ran into them: "Hey, Senior Brother Zhou! Where are you all going?"

"Go to the training ground to practice your skills."

Zhou Xuanqing cupped his hands in greeting, "Fellow Daoist Shi, how's your Thunder Cutter technique coming along?"

"Hehe, I can now use it consistently."

Shi Shaojian proudly raised his chin, "I tried it yesterday, and with one snip, I cut a tree as thick as a bowl in two."

If I happen to encounter one of those thick-skinned monsters, one snip with the scissors will surely reduce it to ashes.

"That's wonderful!"

Wang Shun chimed in from the side, "Although our Shenxiao Sect also practices thunder magic, we don't have many precise spells like this that can break through protective barriers. When will Fellow Daoist Shi have some free time to give us some pointers?"

"Sure, sure!" Shi Shaojian said with his hands behind his back, looking like he was ready to play along anytime.

Wang Shun's eye twitched suddenly. This Fellow Daoist Shi really wasn't modest at all.

The two sides exchanged compliments, with Wang Shun almost praising himself as a great celestial master!

Shi Shaojian was no weakling either; he even managed to pull up the flying zombie from General Mountain.

His words implied that he participated in that battle and even personally killed a Mao Jiang!

Well... although it was a severely injured and dying zombie, it was still killed by its own hand, at least that's what Shi Shaojian thought.

Zhou Xuanqing was stunned. Holy crap, are all the fellow Daoists from Maoshan this fierce?

"So, someone at the Daoist Master level could kill Mao Jiang?"

Still fighting with flying zombies?

So what are we? Still stuck in the starting village?

Feeling ashamed, Zhou Xuanqing pulled Wang Shun away quickly.

We have to leave. If we keep talking nonsense, that Fellow Daoist Shi might just kill the Celestial Master!

Watching the group flee in a disheveled state, Shi Shaojian raised his eyebrows at Lin Bei with a smug look on his face.

Lin Bei ignored him, and the two of them immediately resumed their cultivation!

Bai Ling and Bai Chen lay under the shade of a tree in the corner of the courtyard, watching the two cultivate.

The two little foxes have grown even bigger in the past two weeks, their fur is shiny and their eyes are becoming more and more lively.

Bai Ling would occasionally mimic Lin Bei's actions, stretching out her little paws to make a couple of gestures, which made Lin Bei both laugh and cry.

"You're still young, don't learn things like that."

Lin Bei walked over and ruffled Bai Ling's hair. "When you're a little older, I'll teach you proper magic."

Bai Ling let out a soft cry and rubbed her head against his palm.

After practicing his Thunder Cutter technique, Shi Shaojian walked over and sat down next to Lin Bei. "Junior Brother, how long do you think we'll be staying at the Divine Firmament Sect this time?"

"We'll see."

Lin Bei sat down next to him. "I've only just begun to learn the Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra, and I haven't mastered the three thunder techniques yet. I'll have to stay here a while longer."

"Furthermore, the energy of the lightning attribute is exceptionally active within the Shenxiao Sect, making cultivation here twice as effective with half the effort!"

"One more thing, Master Yu Lei has given us such a great opportunity, we can't just leave like that."

"You're right." Shi Shaojian nodded.

"Taking the bribe and leaving is indeed rather impolite!"

At night, Lin Bei sat cross-legged and began to circulate the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture.

Cultivation at the Shenxiao Sect is indeed much faster than outside!

The four Dao patterns on the fake pill slowly flowed, and the outline of the fifth Dao pattern became clearer than before.

Although it is not yet fully solidified, at this rate of cultivation, breaking through to the peak of the mage realm is only a matter of time.
