Martial Research Master

239 THE OUTCOME

Li Meng was undergoing a drastic transformation. The automatic rotation was not only making and breaking his meridians, but a unique feeling was slowly spreading throughout his body. He felt the thunder energy spreading and getting collected into small points throughout his body.

“These are the thunder element acupoints.” Li Meng couldn’t help but get shocked. It was undoubtedly the acupoints of the human body. Although they haven’t yet opened, the thunder energy was slowly gathering in these locations.

The altar was raising difficulty at a mad rate and the thunder energy being produced now was quite dangerous. It wasn’t something which a normal QI general level cultivator could possibly bear. The two figures were seated, absorbing and refining the energy.

“The Academy is going to gain two monsters this year. Although the Chu girl is already taken, we can still negotiate the affairs of LI Meng.”

“Have the elders of my fraction come down to see this boy. He is sure to connect a heavenly law now that he has completed the 9-Thunder body art.”

“If he could connect to a heavenly law, he doesn’t even need to take this test. He will be promoted to a core disciple. The allure of heavenly law is too great to miss.”

“How could he belong to that wasteland region?” Many of the top-ranking halls couldn’t believe this fact. They never expected such a character to come up from the wasteland.

“The matter to concentrate on is whether or not he could defeat the Chu girl.”

“It is impossible to defeat her. The Lightning devil art is a scripture which is comparable to the Thunder-gods body. The 9-Thunder body is just a requirement to practice it. How could the two of them compare with each other.” One of the elders spoke up.

.....

The elder in charge remained silent, didn’t confirm or deny the situation.

“I have heard a strange rumour within the academy. It is said that the Lightning Devil art was something which was created by a practitioner who wanted to reach the peak of Thunder-God’s body. It was said that Thunder-god’s body has birth this Lightning devil art. The cultivator who created it was a peerless genius of the Academy, and couldn’t accept the fact that he didn’t reach the peak level for Thunder-God’s body.”

“The comparison of Lightning Devil and Thunder-gods body is said to have originated because of him. During his last year, it was he who declared that the Lightning Devil art was comparable to Thunder-god’s body. Since no one other than him ever reached that cultivation level in the Thunder-god’s body, they weren’t able to confirm the truth.”

“Can the elder solve our dilemma?” One of the elders turned towards the one in-charge.

“Only those above the advanced Qi King could begin to practice the Thunder-god’s body. You are free to make your own conclusions.” Anyone could guess that the Thunder-god’s body was ranked higher.

....................

Thunder energy was madly coagulating within various points of his body. This was way different than any other skill he had ever practiced. Be it Weapon Tempering art or the exercise given to him by the Pill-sword saint, both had a step-by-step approach to open up meridians.

The 9-Thunder body on the other hand was coagulating thunder energy into multiple acupoints at the same time. Although the number of acupoints it coagulated was not too high, it was around 20 or so.

“This must be the reason why the practitioner was able to connect with a heavenly Thunder law after practicing this art to the peak. It opened so many thunder elements within the body.”

“It must be the explanation. Although this could help you connect with Heavenly law, it is still not enough for Chaos law. You need to open all the thunder acupoints. Once the acupoint sins your opens, begin practicing the exercise given by the ancestor.”

Li Meng continued to absorb an insane amount of thunder energy from the surrounding area. When the eighth incense stick finally ended, a loud bang occurred within his body, and all the Thunder energy within the surrounding area was absorbed by him.

Even the girl sitting in front was forced to open her eyes due to his phenomena. She couldn’t help but look at Li Meng with amazement. He must have undergone some kind of break-through.

...............

Inside Li Meng’s body, all 20 of the acupoints were open. An ethereal feeling rushed through his body. This was the first time he experienced the opening of these many acupoints at the same time.

He was about to continue his cultivation when a voice sounded.

“I congratulate fellow brother for the break-through.”

He opened his eyes, to find a girl talking to him. She was shrouded in thunder energy. Although her face was covered in a veil, Li Meng could easily estimate her beauty.

“I thank miss for the compliment.”

“You and I are the only participants remaining on the altar of punishment. Would my brother mind giving me the first position to me?”

“What benefit could that bring me?” Li Meng asked in a smug tone. Just who was this girl to ask him to step down and miss such an opportunity.

“From the look of the figure behind you, it must be the 9-Thunder body art. I congratulate you for having cultivated it to a consummate level before stepping into the King realm. You have already proved your talent. I have a need to obtain first place.”

“I too don’t want to miss such a good opportunity to cultivate thunder energy. If you manage to last until I am satisfied with cultivating in here, you can naturally win the first prize.”

The girl’s eyes grew cold. She was never treated this way by anyone of her generation. She was a fairy who possessed monstrous talent in martial arts and was already accepted as the disciple of a core elder. Just who was this boy?

“Does brother want to have a competition with me? From here on the thunder energy would increase in a vicious manner. We wouldn’t be able to cultivate with it any longer. It will be a matter of perseverance and stamina from here on.”

“That may be the case for you, but I am different.” Li Meng’s smile was followed by the influx of a dangerous amount of thunder energy into the altar.

The girl instantly closed her eyes and concentrated on guarding against the energy. LI Meng on the other hand, was still absorbing the energy.

......................

Crimson Lord world-

“You should begin absorbing the thunder energy. I believe that it is helpful to you.”

“Although the thunder energy is quite a high grade, it still hasn’t reached the level which should be accumulated by me. You should just concentrate on cultivating thunder acupoints. It will help in controlling the intensity of the energy. Let’s see how long you are able to bear it.”

Li Meng instantly began rotating the thunder energy according to the exercise of Pill-sword saint and opened thunder element acupoints, one after the other.

...........................

“These two are competing with each other. Let’s see who lasts longer. It’s a battle of stamina as of now.”

“I don’t think that to be the case. Look at the boy.” When the elders say what Li meng was doing they couldn’t help but be surprised.

“He is trying to cultivate with the thunder energy. Quite a gutsy fellow. I hope he can still have a grab on his life at the end of the process.”

The elder in charge instantly signalled the medic team to be prepared in case Li Meng was thrown out.

Another incense stick later-

The girl could no longer handle the thunder energy. The devil figure behind her was already covering her whole body, trying to guard against the thunder energy. Multiple cracks were visible on its body.

After a final upgrade in difficulty, the thunder figure blasted through and the girl was thrown out of the altar. Her eyes were filled with resistance, but she couldn’t do anything.

All the elders were shocked after seeing the outcome of this match. Li Meng stood at the peak of all the participants, being able to sustain in the altar for nine incense sticks and still going.
