Martial Research Master

241 THOUSAND LIGHTNING LAW

Li Meng couldn’t feel any more response from his body. Most of his acupoints are now open. He opened his eyes and looked at a horrifying scene around him. The whole altar was covered with thunder energy, so dense that normal eyes couldn’t even peek inside of it.

“Want to experience how powerful this energy really is?” The Keeper asked.

“I am experiencing energy since the beginning.”

“You were experiencing it until the time when I stepped out. I have been barricading a huge amount of energy to save you.”

“Now that I have opened all the acupoints, I am confident about being able to bear the energy.” The Keeper simply smiled and flicked his fingers.

A huge wave directly hit Li Meng and blasted him out of the stadium, coughing out a huge amount of blood. His eyes were filled with shock. How powerful was the energy contained within the altar?

“I hope you aren’t upset.”

“There is nothing to be upset about. I would have time to experience this energy again, once I step into the King realm. I have achieved my objective of practicing the art to consummate level and opening up all the lighting acupoints.”

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

.....

Li Meng couldn’t move his body due to the heavy injury that he underwent. Medics instantly rushed to his side, feeding him a huge amount of medicine. His injuries finally showed signs of healing. All the elders were looking at the figure with shock.

“18 incense stick. What is his body type to be able to sustain for such a long time?”

“The upper echelon must be eyeing him now. 18 incense sticks is a legendary record that might never be broken in the future. We are seeing the birth of a hegemon.”

The elder in charge looked at the altar with an apprehensive expression. Towards the end of the process, he felt a minute aura from the altar that had a unique feeling. Although it disappeared swiftly after its appearance, the aura gave out an incredible feeling.

“This brat must have a substantial background.” Li Meng attracted his attention. The incredible injury he sustained proved that he didn’t carry any artefacts. This aura must have originated from within him.

“I need to get the master to recruit him. He is a monster for sure.” The elder in charge thought and sent out a messaging token.

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

“The brat actually managed to do it. I couldn’t believe my old eyes finally got to see the birth of a character like this. He might be the one who can fulfill my long-lost wish.”

“Is master referring to the 1000 lightning law?”

“I am.”

“But you said that the lost part was situated within that land. He doesn’t have the strength to enter it yet?”

“I believe he will by the time it opens. The area is rumoured to be the burial site of the then sect leader. He was carrying the 1000 lightning method with him.”

“How could someone like that enter those grounds?”

“You need to become powerful enough to know the answer to this question. That place was an ancient battleground where a terrific war took place. The sect master along with a lot of warriors from the academy took part in it. The artefact he was carrying listed the art within it. It was lost when he died on the battlefield.”

“Li Meng would need to have the cultivation of Qi emperor to enter that place. Even we are not confident enough of coming out alive from that place and we are about to reach the initial stages of emperor level.”

“I believe that brat. There are certain secrets you are not qualified to know yet. On the other hand, he might be able to fulfill the mysterious theory. I am waiting to see his performance in the next stage. If he manages to impress, I will have to instantly recruit him.”

“Who could snatch him from your hands master?”

“As I said, there are many secrets you are not yet aware of. I might be holding the position I am in, but I am far from being the strongest entity within the academy. There are some old monsters whose disciples themselves are core elders of the academy.”

“Are you saying such entities would take action for Li Meng?” Both men were shocked.

“The very fact that he could sustain 18 incense sticks is quite monstrous. He now holds the record for the longest time. Although they wouldn’t fight for him, they might have their disciples come forward.”

“We also shouldn’t forget Baili Chen. He is just a little bit lacking when compared to me. There is a dog fight awaiting us.” The old man smiled in a lunatic manner. How long had it been since his bones felt the itch to take action?

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

“I announce participant Li Meng will have won in the first round. All participants are given time to recover. Once the recovery has been confirmed by the medics, we will start the second round.”

Li Meng was shifted within a tent where many medicines were being applied on his body. He was surprised by the amount of expenditure Thunder Academy was born. These herbs were healing his injuries with visible speed. Once Li Meng was able to move freely, the medic handed him a series of bottles.

After the medics left, he was concentrating on recovering from his injuries with the Keeper’s assistance.

“You are a quite talented brat.” Li Meng was shocked upon hearing this voice. He instantly jumped out. He couldn’t even sense this man entering his tent.

“This brat is quite a talented boy, just like that girl with Ti Shen. His cultivation is quite contrasting with his age.” Keeper commented. Li meng didn’t want a description as he could sense an aura which was much higher than Qi Kings. The man was undoubtedly a Qi emperor.

The man looked at Li meng with an amused expression. He then threw a red bottle towards Li Meng. The bottle was radiating an incredible aura.

“Use it to heal yourself boy.” The man laughingly said.

Li Meng accepted and ingested it. To his shock, an abundant amount of Qi filled his abdomen, instantly healing all his injury. Within a matter of minutes, his body was fully healed.

“Why did you give this to me?”

“So that you could perform well in the next competition. I have a huge amount of money riding on you and I believe you are talented enough to get me a win.” The man said in a relaxed tone.

“What if I lost?”

“I guess I would have to go into seclusion and get my head straight. My instinct would be proven wrong by that occurrence.”

Li Meng was shocked at hearing that. An emperor level cultivator was casually talking with him.

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

“Who are you sending to confront him, master?” The two men spoke at the same time.

“Your fourth brother.”

“What?” Both of them couldn’t hold their breaths.

“You send that lunatic to confront him. What if he spooks the guy?”

“Your fourth brother is the best option for the job. I am confident that he can win the guy into our camp. Madness is a useful characteristic sometimes.”

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

The second round was announced soon enough.

“I hope all of you have healed your injuries. The second round is about to begin. The top 100 participants are eligible to participate. Only the top 10 would be able to attend the next round.”

The top 100 stepped forward. The elder in charge waved his hands and energy soon surrounded them. They were flown to another location, hidden from the local audience. Only top experts were allowed to view this round.

“The second round is a test which would test your speed of comprehension. Although talent is required in the martial path, without proper intelligence one couldn’t walk far enough. I wish you, people, the best of luck.”
