Chapter 205: Can Thunder Ability Be Used Like This? Lei Yaoyang Was Stunned!

"Roar—"

In the blink of an eye, one-fifth of the hundred-plus beasts were eliminated!

The blood and corpses of their own kind did not instill fear in these beasts.

Instead, their eyes blazed with ferocity, and their charging speed increased further!

They quickly surged within thirty-five meters of Xu Jingming!

"Come on then! Divine Thunder!"

Xu Jingming laughed loudly, and the ferocious Doushen Divine Thunder exploded outward from his center!

The beasts in the Thunderstorm Zone had spent their days enduring lightning and thunder, granting them extremely high resistance to electricity!

Yet as an SS-rank ability, Doushen Divine Thunder was equally formidable!

Sizzzzz~~~~

The lightning swept across, reducing first-rank beasts to ash, while second-rank beasts retained their intact corpses.

Only third-rank beasts could withstand this ordinary burst of ability!

Even so, their bodies were riddled with wounds, as the lightning continuously damaged them!

And this wasn't over yet!

A spear-shadow struck, ending their lives instantly!

Thus, amid brilliant golden thunder,

Xu Jingming gripped his long spear and charged into the beast horde like a stormwind, relentlessly advancing and slaying!

Weak beasts were instantly obliterated by thunder; even the formidable third-rank beasts became victims of his spear.

Under his efficient slaughter, only five to six minutes passed.

All hundred-plus beasts were slain!

Boom!

Xu Jingming slammed his Qingxiao Black Jiao Spear into the ground, gasping for breath, his feet buried under a pile of beast corpses.

Two hours of constant pursuit and the recent explosion had drained nearly all his stamina and ability!

But it was entirely worth it!

1, 13 ability points!

Just from this single wave, Xu Jingming's system panel gained nearly 2, 00 ability points!

"Harvesting 1, 13 ability points in two hours—that's more than ten times faster than before!

At this rate, by the time I leave the Thunderstorm Zone, I'll have accumulated a fortune in ability points!

Maybe even enough to break through to third-rank upper tier!"

Xu Jingming's heart surged with excitement.

Although he couldn't sleep or rest inside the Thunderstorm Zone,

as a third-rank mid-tier ability user with the fourth layer of Thunder Imperishable Body, he could go six full days and nights without rest.

More than a day had already passed—he could still remain in the Thunderstorm Zone for nearly five more days.

Attracting beasts took over two hours; after draining stamina and ability, it took roughly eight hours to recover to peak strength.

That meant each harvest cycle lasted about ten hours.

With twenty-four hours in a day, he could harvest twice—roughly 3, 00 ability points!

Excluding the final day spent observing thunder, over four days he'd earn at least 14, 00 ability points!

"Bright future! Bright future indeed!"

Xu Jingming's eyes gleamed. "First, collect the spoils, find a place to rest, then resume hunting!"

He quickly pulled his A-grade alloy dagger from his space ring and began harvesting materials from the third-rank beast corpses.

The first- and second-rank beast corpses were entirely ignored.

Of course, as he collected materials, he also reached inside the corpses to search for thunder cores.

Of the nearly hundred beasts, most were first- and second-rank; only seven were third-rank.

Xu Jingming spent half an hour gathering all the beast materials.

He also found three third-rank thunder cores and six second-rank thunder cores.

"Good luck."

Xu Jingming grinned, stowing the shimmering thunder cores into his space ring.

Then, gripping his spear, he swiftly departed...

Five days later, 3: 0 a. ., central Thunderstorm Zone.

Lei Yaoyang and his team from the Thunder Martial Arts Academy walked across a grassland.

Unlike the original eleven who entered the Thunderstorm Zone together, they had split into two squads.

Lei Yaoyang's squad consisted of six members, including the white casual-shirt youth who had spoken to Xu Jingming earlier.

Now he wore a white battle suit, wielding a large blade and carrying a shield on his back.

"Lei Brother, it's only 3 a. . do we really need to get up this early?"

The white-clad youth yawned, slinging his blade over his shoulder.

Ordinary ability users had to tread carefully in the Thunderstorm Zone, but for these elite training camp graduates,

even in the central region, caution wasn't necessary.

"What's the difference between 3 a. . and noon here? It's all daylight."

Lei Yaoyang said coolly.

"We should at least respect our biological clocks, right?"

The white-clad youth grinned, then asked eagerly:

"Lei Brother, today's the final day of the six-day assessment—when do we head back?"

"Six p. .," Lei Yaoyang mused.

"So late?" The white-clad youth's eyes widened.

"What, Li Ming, you can't take it anymore?"

Someone in the squad chuckled.

"Of course I can't! Do you think you can?"

The white-clad youth, Li Ming, retorted.

Their squad of six could take turns resting at night.

But the thunder was so deafening, sleep was impossible.

"Fine, I can't take it either—I just want to go back and sleep for a full day and night."

The previous speaker shrugged helplessly.

"We've already met our assessment goal, but the longer we stay in the Thunderstorm Zone, the better impression we leave on Instructor Wu.

We're all from the Elite Training Camp—don't embarrass the camp!"

Lei Yaoyang frowned slightly and spoke sternly.

"Yes!"

Lei Yaoyang was the strongest among them; seeing his signs of anger,

the others snapped to attention, nodding vigorously like chickens pecking grain.

"By the way, today's the sixth day.

That coward from Mo University—he's probably already fled the Thunderstorm Zone by now, right?"

Li Ming swiftly changed the subject, smiling.

"Of course—he couldn't last this long alone while we took turns resting!"

"Exactly. Looks like top university students aren't that impressive after all."

"Good thing I was smart enough not to take the Wu Ke exam—after awakening my ability, I joined the Thunder Martial Arts Academy right away."

"True. I think the Elite Training Camp's teaching is just as good as the top universities."

"..."

The others chattered on, but Lei Yaoyang remained silent.

Though he'd only met Xu Jingming once, the impression he left was strong.

Lei Yaoyang always felt such a powerful figure wasn't as simple as others imagined.

"Boom—boom—"

As they spoke, a deep, chaotic rumbling suddenly echoed.

The ground trembled, as if a vast army of thousands were charging in unison!

"What's going on? An earthquake?"

Li Ming and the others stared in alarm—before they could finish speaking, they saw a horde of beasts, eyes blazing red, charging toward them!

The noise came from them!

"Beast surge! Run!"

Li Ming's face paled—he turned to flee.

"Don't panic—it's not a large-scale surge."

Lei Yaoyang, stronger than the rest, instantly assessed: the beast horde numbered under a hundred.

Their ranks were uneven, but his team of six could easily handle them.

But to his surprise, before the horde of ferocious beasts, a familiar figure was sprinting forward.

It was Xu Jingming, whom he had seen at the gate six days ago!

He was enveloped in golden lightning, sprinting at breakneck speed—as if stopping for even a moment would mean being swallowed by the torrent of beasts behind him.

"That guy from Magic Big? Did he come in again?"

Li Ming also spotted Xu Jingming and asked in confusion.

"Looks like he accidentally provoked a horde of beasts. Let's go help him out."

Xu Jingming was from Magic Big, and his senior brother was the manager of Thunder Martial Arts Gym.

Now that they'd run into him, Lei Yaoyang naturally couldn't just stand by.

But just as he led his team forward to assist, Xu Jingming suddenly turned a corner and sprinted off in another direction.

"This guy! He lured the beast tide toward us, then ran off himself?"

Li Ming cried out in shock.

Lei Yaoyang, watching this, also grew grim-faced.

They had intended to help, but to use them as bait like this—wasn't that going too far?

Yet what he didn't expect was that the vicious beasts didn't attack them at all.

Instead, they continued chasing after Xu Jingming.

"Heh, selfish bastard, got what he deserved?" Li Ming chuckled with malicious glee.

But Lei Yaoyang noticed something odd.

Human flesh was a delicious meal for ferocious beasts.

There were six of them here, while Xu Jingming was alone.

Under normal circumstances, a beast horde would never abandon six people to chase just one.

Upon closer observation, Lei Yaoyang realized that what interested the beasts wasn't Xu Jingming's flesh.

It was the brilliant golden lightning swirling around his body!

Xu Jingming was using his lightning-based ability to lure this entire horde!

"You can use a lightning ability like this?" Lei Yaoyang was stunned.

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder.

How could Xu Jingming, merely a mid-tier third-rank cultivator, possibly handle such a massive horde?

He had already spotted several peak third-rank ferocious beasts among them!
