Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

The lightning that struck Lin Xiao only caused him to feel a slight numbness.

Most of the lightning's power was reflected back by the Thorn Knight Armor and the Thorn Aura.

Even when the orc shaman was completely unprepared, the shaman might have suffered slightly more damage than Lin Xiao.

When the three bolts of lightning struck Lin Xiao, he subconsciously activated the Five Elements Cultivation Manual.

Under the operation of the Five Elements Cultivation Manual, the power of lightning was gradually absorbed into Lin Xiao's body.

"Huh? What's this?" The violent lightning surged through Lin Xiao's body, both damaging his cells and strengthening everything within him.

Lin Xiaoqiang suppressed the pain surging within him, his face remaining expressionless as he stared at the orc shaman in the distance, pretending nothing had happened.

But as the lightning continued to travel through his body, Lin Xiao felt that his realm, which he had stabilized at the fourth level two days ago, suddenly loosened.

In an instant, Lin Xiao sensed the loosening of his spiritual realm.

His talent for deconstruction immediately kicked in, and Lin Xiao began to imagine how to deconstruct the matter.

Soon, the information obtained through the deconstruction talent came out.

"Since the survivor's current level is at the most stable fourth tier, and this state is also the easiest to advance to the fifth tier in the entire Misty World."

"The lightning that just struck resonated with the Five Elements Cultivation Manual the survivors were practicing. Therefore, stimulated by the lightning, the survivors have a high chance of advancing to the fifth rank."

[Hint: The survivor needs at least five more lightning strikes like the one just now to advance from Tier 4 to Tier 5.]

Upon seeing the three messages brought about by his deconstruction talent, especially the last one, Lin Xiao's eyes darted around. After thinking for a moment, he immediately circulated his qi and forcibly forced a mouthful of blood out of his body.

"cough!"

The sight of Lin Xiao spitting out blood did not escape the notice of the orc shaman.

The orc shaman didn't believe that Lin Xiao's spitting blood was fake, because normally, even if a fourth-tier being could withstand an attack from a fifth-tier being, it would be impossible for them to be completely unharmed.

Lin Xiao only spat out a mouthful of blood, which was enough to surprise the orc shaman.

Even the three bolts of lightning that Lin Xiao had just reflected were ignored by the orc shaman for a while.

He only knew that the reflected attack was some kind of special technique of Lin Xiao, and the main reason was that he had been completely careless and had not put up any defenses for himself.

Therefore, the orc shaman slapped his chest three times with his left hand, and a faint glow emanated from his body.

Then, the orc shaman swung his staff downwards again, and five lightning bolts, even stronger than before, shot out from the void.

Upon seeing the power of the five bolts of lightning, Lin Xiao's expression changed instantly. He wanted to put a shield around himself, but thinking of the Rebirth Cross in his hand, Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and decided to tough it out.

If he succeeds, he will be able to advance from the fourth rank to the fifth rank through the baptism of lightning.

Even if he fails, his already deconstructed Rebirth Cross can give Lin Xiao a second life.

"Boom!"

After Lin Xiao had planned it out in his mind, five bolts of lightning, carrying a violent force, struck Lin Xiao heavily.

"hiss!"

Lin Xiao had experienced the exhilarating sensation of being struck by lightning, and more than once.

Just like before, five more bolts of lightning were reflected back from around Lin Xiao.

But this time, the orc shaman had already added a layer of protection to his body.

The lightning bolts that were just reflected back did not cause it any harm at all.

"Hmph! I'll see how long you can keep this up!"

The orc shaman couldn't help but curse under his breath. Then, he raised his right staff, and ten bolts of lightning gathered above Lin Xiao's head.

Guided by the orc shaman, ten bolts of lightning drew a circle in the air and began to rotate continuously.

Soon, a slender drill composed of ten bolts of lightning aimed at Lin Xiao from the void.

The rapidly spinning drill bit aimed at Lin Xiao and then shot directly at him.

"boom!"

"Bang!"

The power of this lightning drill caused the space around it to distort.

Feeling the power of the lightning drill, Lin Xiao realized he couldn't just sit and wait to die.

The lightning strike just now could be attributed to Lin Xiao's efforts to advance him to the fifth rank, but if he doesn't take any action now, he's practically courting death.

In an instant, Lin Xiao's mind stirred, and a phantom mountain with some cracks appeared from the void.

"Boom!"

The lightning bolt struck the illusory mountain peak created by the Mountain Seal, and then the lightning drill began to spin wildly.

Lin Xiao frowned, feeling a sense of unease.

But at this moment, the activity of lightning within him is increasing.

It's estimated that Lin Xiao will soon advance from the fourth rank to the fifth rank.

"In that case, we'll have to find a way to block this attack, won't we?"

As she thought about it, a smile crept onto Lin Xiao's lips.

"Heh, I'm indeed unable to withstand this attack right now, but that doesn't mean they can't!"

Following Lin Xiao's command, the 100 fourth-tier Thorn Knights immediately reformed their formation.

A sharp knife appeared in the air, and it immediately became locked in a stalemate with the lightning drill.

But one discovery made Lin Xiao's heart sink.

He discovered that the combat power of a fifth-tier warrior formed by merging fourth-tier Thorn Knights was indeed somewhat weaker than that of a true fifth-tier warrior.

Their previous achievements in the Wood Soul Domain were entirely due to the fact that the fifth-tier warriors of Wood Soul City attracted most of the attention.

If these 100 fourth-tier fighters were to fight one fifth-tier fighter alone, their lack of strength would become apparent.

Of course, if these 100 Thorn Knights were to fight against a fourth-tier opponent, it would be a complete rout.

It can only be said that this thing's actual combat power is neither the best nor the worst.

However, through their delay, Lin Xiao still achieved his goal.

"Buzz!"

"boom!!!"

A violent aura swept outwards from Lin Xiao's center.

That aura contained extremely violent and destructive energy belonging to lightning.

"That's right!"

The orc shaman stared at Lin Xiao, his pupils suddenly shrinking.

"That's actually the realm of lightning? He even understands the rules of lightning?"

Even Lin Xiao didn't expect that the advancement triggered by lightning tempering would allow him to completely master the domain of lightning and the power of its rules.
