"Martial Brother Wang."
"Below, I'll explain in detail the eight key points and nine common mistakes when cultivating this Palm Heart Thunder Method."
"First point."
"Avoid channeling too much spiritual qi and making the thunder sphere too large."
"Because the energy of this palm thunder is violent. The larger the thunder sphere, the higher the control required, and the easier it is to explode. Extremely dangerous."
...
Ji Jinglei closed his eyes slightly, doing his best to recall the key points his father had mentioned when teaching him Palm Heart Thunder, and explained them one by one.
Fortunately.
He hadn't taken those whip lashes for nothing. The key points were all stored in his mind.
After going through all eight key points and nine common mistakes from beginning to end, Ji Jinglei slowly opened his eyes.
"Holy crap!"
Ji Jinglei's pupils contracted, his purple-tinged face full of shock and terror.
Because he saw Wang Xiu directly opposite him, already holding his hands in a virtual embrace, condensing a thunder sphere over two meters in diameter—larger than a person—and crackling with energy.
"Like this?"
Looking at Wang Xiu holding the massive thunder sphere with curiosity on his face, Ji Jinglei was completely numb.
You call this a palm thunder?
This thing should be called a Sky-Cannon!
As a Foundation Establishment Seventh Heaven cultivator, where do you get so much spiritual qi?
Ji Jinglei's mouth twitched frantically.
Even he, at the Core Formation first layer stage, would have to drain his dantian of spiritual qi and maintain it with extreme care to condense and sustain such a massive palm thunder.
No!
He couldn't maintain such a huge palm thunder at all. Anything over three chi in diameter would explode in his hands.
"Put it down!"
"Put it down!"
"No, don't put it down!"
"Can't put it down!"
Looking at the thunder sphere in Wang Xiu's hands, Ji Jinglei was at a complete loss, nearly in tears.
What is a teacher?
Not only must they be able to guide the other person during cultivation, but they must also be able to help resolve crises when the other person makes mistakes in their practice.
Take Palm Heart Thunder cultivation for example.
If Ji Yan were guiding Ji Jinglei in cultivating Palm Heart Thunder, he could directly seize and absorb the thunder sphere when it was about to go on a rampage.
At worst.
He could also slice through the void, confining the palm thunder to explode in a narrow space without harming others nearby.
But.
Ji Jinglei was only at Core Formation first layer!
If this two-meter diameter thunder sphere really went on a rampage, forget absorbing it—if he didn't dodge fast enough, it could blow him to death.
At this moment.
Ji Jinglei subconsciously wanted to run.
But when he saw the calmness and trust in Wang Xiu's eyes.
His raised leg felt as heavy as if bound with thousand-jin boulders. He couldn't take a step.
Martial Brother Wang Xiu trusts me so much. How could I abandon him and flee?
Gulp~
Screw it. Being blown to pieces is just death. This time, I'm going all in!
Ji Jinglei swallowed his saliva, a determined look flashing in his eyes, "Martial Brother, first stabilize that thunder sphere. Let me handle this."
Having said this.
Ji Jinglei slowly approached Wang Xiu, reaching toward the massive thunder sphere in his hands, preparing to use his own thunder technique mastery to forcibly dissolve the thunder sphere.
Zzzt~
The moment his palms touched the thunder sphere, Ji Jinglei felt strong repulsion and violent energy. The surface of the thunder sphere distorted slightly, as if it could explode at any moment.
In an instant.
Ji Jinglei broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, it seemed that fate was truly protecting him.
The thunder sphere eventually stabilized.
It didn't go berserk.
Ji Jinglei took a deep breath and began to fully focus on circulating the Palm Heart Thunder technique, absorbing the thunder power from Wang Xiu's hands.
One strand~
Two strands~
Three strands~
...
As strand after strand of thunder power was absorbed and dissolved by Ji Jinglei from Wang Xiu's palms, the originally two-meter diameter thunder sphere slowly shrank.
At the same time.
Those strands of palm thunder power, after surging into Ji Jinglei's body, didn't directly dissipate.
Instead, they began to circulate along certain special routes. After circulating, they gradually strengthened, finally returning to Ji Jinglei's dantian to be absorbed.
This~!
This is the circulation route of Palm Heart Thunder Method, and it's even more refined than what I previously understood.
Ji Jinglei's eyes burned with intensity, his heart suddenly incredibly excited.
Martial Brother Wang Xiu was right. Without experiencing wind and rain, how can one see a rainbow? I am indeed the legendary golden scale—when meeting wind and clouds, I transform into a dragon.
A narrow escape!
I actually had an epiphany breakthrough in such a life-or-death crisis. My understanding of palm thunder has deepened further~!
Child of Fortune—who else but me!!!
As the final strand of thunder power was absorbed by Ji Jinglei, the ninety-eighth young master of the Thunder Vein suddenly felt a sense of boundless pride—the feeling that he could roam freely throughout the world.
Of course.
Pride aside, he was still shocked that Wang Xiu could condense such a massive palm thunder.
"Martial Brother."
Ji Jinglei wiped the cold sweat from his face and asked, "Have you cultivated Palm Heart Thunder before? How come you condensed the thunder sphere so smoothly?"
Wang Xiu smiled and said, "I haven't learned it before, but as soon as I started, I felt this technique was very easy to control. I think there should be two reasons."
Ji Jinglei asked curiously, "What reasons?"
Wang Xiu said, "First, Martial Uncle Ji Yan once gave me a drop of Thunder Tribulation Liquid. It's said to greatly enhance a cultivator's affinity for thunder attribute spiritual qi."
Ji Jinglei nodded slightly.
Thunder Tribulation Liquid was a supreme treasure nurtured in Heavenly Tribulation Valley. It indeed had the effect of cleansing the marrow and improving one's aptitude.
However.
I've also drunk a drop of Thunder Tribulation Liquid before!
Why didn't my talent improve so dramatically? Was the Thunder Tribulation Liquid my father gave me fake?
Did the fatherly love my father gave me have water mixed in?
A suspicion rose in Ji Jinglei's heart but was quickly dismissed. Father might give him fake Thunder Tribulation Liquid, but he would never give Ninety-Ninth Sister fake Thunder Tribulation Liquid.
As far as he knew.
Even Ji Zidian was careful and didn't dare take it lightly when first learning Palm Heart Thunder.
She wouldn't dare to make one this big on her first try.
Thinking of this, Ji Jinglei couldn't help but ask curiously, "Martial Brother Wang, what's the second reason?!"
Wang Xiu smiled and said, "The second reason, I think, is that a famous teacher produces a skilled student. What thunder technique talent do I have? It's all because Martial Brother taught me well."
"For some reason."
"Listening to Martial Brother explain the essence of Palm Heart Thunder, I understood very quickly and easily. It was like the Heavenly Dao was teaching me hand-in-hand."
"That's right."
"Since Martial Brother could easily dissolve my Palm Heart Thunder, your own Palm Heart Thunder technique must have already been cultivated to perfection, reaching a transcendent level!"
"With guidance from a famous teacher like you who's proficient in thunder techniques, it's reasonable that I learned quickly, right?!"
Ji Jinglei: (⊙⊙)
After pondering for a while, a flush appeared on Ji Jinglei's face, "Naturally!"
Ji Jinglei: <（￣︶￣）>
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging. Congratulations Host, spiritual qi +16.]
Wang Xiu asked curiously, "Martial Brother is a heaven-defying genius. When you cultivated Palm Heart Thunder, you must have also succeeded on the first try with absolutely no mistakes, right?!"
Cough cough~
The flush on Ji Jinglei's face deepened, "Naturally!"
