Chapter 234: Thunder Wild

The ley lines of Thunderbright Valley contain dense thunder and lightning, and Tie Li's cultivation here is extremely effective.

The news of defeating Lei Yu spread, and many disciples of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Sect came to challenge him, trying to regain face.

However, a large portion of those disciples are only at the Four‑Ring Soul Sect level; the huge gap of two Soul Rings is enough to make them balk.

They want to regain face, not because they are stupid; with such a massive soul power gap, how could they still humiliate themselves?

Nevertheless, after being taught a lesson on their own turf, a Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Sect disciple with Soul Emperor cultivation approached Tie Li.

The Lei Guang before him is the most difficult opponent Tie Li has encountered, at Soul Power Level 63.

All six of his soul skills are Amplification Soul Techniques, focusing on attribute amplification; his martial soul is not particularly strong, even ordinary, but after the six amplifications, even ordinary thunder and lightning can unleash terrifying destructive power;

His attack method relies on sect battle techniques, and among all Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Sect disciples Tie Li has seen, Lei Guang's Thunder Hammer is the strongest.

The Thunder Hammer was conceived from the heavenly thunder of a Soul Beast's tribulation, each move bearing an unmatchable pressure.

"If it weren't for the innate gap of martial souls, you are the strongest disciple of this generation of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Sect I have ever seen." Tie Li did not hold back his praise.

Even Lei Yu, who possesses a Purple‑Extreme Thunder Dragon martial soul, cannot handle the Lei Guang before him.

Lei Guang looks plain, his build ordinary, only his eyes are bright, but now his arms tremble as he still clutches his Thunder Wood martial soul.

In the recent battle, his arms were bruised by Tie Li's overwhelming force, which will greatly affect his upcoming fights.

"I am forty‑three this year, and my cultivation has only reached Soul Power Level 63; advancing further is exceedingly difficult."

After his words, Lei Guang gathered power again, the six Soul Rings on his body interweaving and flashing.

Like a sudden thunderclap, he surged toward Tie Li.

In less than three rounds, Lei Guang fell to the ground, gasping heavily, his body trembling unnaturally, yet his expression showed no disappointment—only a look of delight.

"Is this the Ultimate Lightning power? The kind that cannot be resisted, as if everything vanishes within the Lightning Light." Lei Guang seized the fleeting moment.

This was Tie Li deliberately releasing Ultimate Lightning to lend him a hand.

Lei Guang's cultivation of the Thunder Hammer had been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time, and the fight with Tie Li finally showed him how to advance further.

"This time, thank you; I owe you a favor." Lei Guang expressed his gratitude to Tie Li.

"It was a trivial effort."

Tie Li sat beside Lei Guang and began conversing with him.

From their brief exchange, Tie Li sensed his helplessness, the innate martial soul gap, and his cultivation talent, which made him lag behind his peers in the sect; the only thing that set him apart was his grasp of sect battle techniques, surpassing most disciples.

This is also the main reason the sect is willing to pour resources into him.

"My talent is limited; I plan to abandon my disciple status and become an Elder of the sect, dedicating myself to the sect."

During the conversation, Lei Guang also shared some of his cultivation experiences.

Having recovered sufficiently, Lei Guang stood up and left.

Tie Li continued his cultivation, guiding the thunder and lightning of the ley lines to hammer his body.

In an instant, the area around Tie Li was filled with dazzling white light.

Under the shroud of Lightning Light, thin layers of black light covered Tie Li's body—his internal Black Thunder.

"Boom—"

A muffled boom resonated inside Tie Li's body.

He opened his eyes and grasped the Void Tone among the Thunder Dragon's six tones.

Each thunder tone has a unique effect,

Shock Tone grants immunity to control; Collapse Tone amplifies attack power and soul skills; Piercing Tone ignores defense; these three tones each have additional effects.

The Void Tone restores health and soul power; used alone it restores only fifty percent, and each added thunder tone increases the effect by ten percent.

Cultivating in Thunderbright Valley greatly aids his mastery of the Void Tone.

Having consecutively defeated the sect's disciples, he finally entered a brief lull, allowing him to cultivate at full strength.

The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Sect's disciples will certainly not let this be forgotten, but with Du Gu Bo's reputation involved, they won't cause trouble; the younger ones will be dealt with, and the elders will appear.

"Du Gu Bo, I underestimated your methods, hahaha."

"The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus truly is the world's number‑one beast martial soul; even after my Bi Lin Snake Emperor martial soul underwent a metamorphosis, facing your old dragon is still arduous."

In a vacant small courtyard, Yu Yuanzhen and Du Gu Bo sat together, having just sparred, both surprised by each other's tactics.

Especially Yu Yuanzhen, who never expected Du Gu Bo's strength to surge this far; he almost got wounded by his potent toxin.

It should be noted that reaching the title Douluo level already grants immunity to most toxins.

Du Gu Bo thought he could match Yu Yuanzhen, but without using a poison pill, he was still firmly suppressed.

"The Clear Sky Sect is resurfacing, its fame growing, already subtly breaking away from the Seven Major Sects, now standing shoulder‑to‑shoulder with the Spirit Hall." Yu Yuanzhen said, touching his tea cup, a different light flashing in his eyes.

"One sect with seven Douluo; the Clear Sky Sect's current strength even makes the royal families of the Two Great Empires wary, yet… I always feel this is the Spirit Hall's plot." Du Gu Bo narrowed his eyes, sensing something different.

"Oh?"

"I dare not jump to conclusions, but we must be cautious of the Spirit Hall; things cannot be that simple on the surface." Du Gu Bo said again.

Recently, Du Gu Bo has been investigating in the shadows, finding faint clues, but the leads are too scattered.

…

Ma Hongjun, after completing the trials at Shilake Academy, received a soul bone suited to him as the champion's reward in the Soul Master Competition, and now he has traveled to Ancient Sword City.

"Finally out, under the gaze of a bunch of old guys I must stay vigilant all the time, but being alone is comfortable."

Ma Hongjun did not hide the desire in his eyes as he selected a suitable target.

Eliminating Evil Fire and boosting his soul power cultivation, why not enjoy it?

Ma Hongjun chooses only opposite‑sex soul masters; only the intertwining between soul masters can accelerate his cultivation.

However, afterward most opposite‑sex soul masters are drained; those with a bit of luck may survive.

"What a pity, if only I could meet Shui Bing'er." Ma Hongjun suddenly said.

Shui Bing'er, possessing a top‑quality Ice Phoenix martial soul, is extremely tempting to Ma Hongjun; he feels that if he could gain something from her, his cultivation would skyrocket, and his martial soul might even undergo a metamorphosis.
