Chapter 213: Thunder Tower! Rapidly Rising Proficiency!

【Physique】: 3087 Qi (+) → 3090 Qi (+)

In the training room, when Xu Jingming finished practicing Thunder Indestructible Body, his Qi had increased by three points.

Do not underestimate these three points of Qi; under normal circumstances, Xu Jingming would need six days of practice to achieve such an increase.

"Practicing with a Thunder Crystal Core indeed accelerates Physique advancement significantly."

"Too bad it only lasts two hours."

Xu Jingming shook his head.

The energy within this fourth-rank Thunder Core was not abundant; two hours of sustained Thunder was already quite impressive.

As a result, Xu Jingming's progress in Thunder Indestructible Body improved slightly.

Of course, there was still a long way to go before advancing from the fourth level to the fifth.

That was only natural—it was an S-rank Physique cultivation technique.

Senior Brother Jiang Luo, a mid-tier fourth-rank cultivator, had trained for years and still only reached the fourth level.

"By the way, I haven't told Senior Brother I'm awake yet."

Xu Jingming suddenly remembered.

He checked the time on his phone—it was 2: 3 a. . on the 30th.

Senior Brother Jiang Luo was probably still asleep, so Xu Jingming sent him a message via the chat app.

At that moment, a sudden, overwhelming hunger struck.

"After sleeping two full days and nights, then training—I need a big meal to replenish my energy."

Xu Jingming patted his stomach, rose, left the training room, and entered the bathroom.

Two days earlier, he had collapsed straight into sleep without cleaning the bloodstains or sweat from his body.

Half an hour later, refreshed and clean, Xu Jingming put on casual attire and left the villa.

The urban area of the Thunder Realm was not large.

It was even smaller than some small county towns; a five-minute drive could cover the entire area.

Of course,

the most important part of the Thunder Realm was the Thunderstorm Zone; the urban area had gradually developed because of it.

In fact,

the urban area was not entirely inhabited by psychics—there were also ordinary people.

These people had lived here before the Thunderstorm Zone appeared.

After the Thunder Martial Arts Pavilion took over, they chose not to leave and had remained ever since.

Due to the Thunder Realm's unique nature, though it was already past two a. .,

the entire city remained vibrant; when Xu Jingming arrived at the commercial street,

it was bustling with people, lively and noisy, and even the holographic advertisements outside shops blared loudly.

"Spring Festival Sale! All Pills at 20% Off! Buy Ten Grade-One Pills and Get One Free!"

"Huiyang Equipment: Limited-Edition Snowman Suit E-Rank Battle Gear, Only 100 Sets Available—First Come, First Served!"

"Perfect for personal use or collection—unbeatable value!"

"E-Rank Rare Herbs and Flowers, Spring Festival Special—Sold in Bundles!"

"......"

Every merchant's advertisement prominently featured the words "New Year's Eve" and "Spring Festival."

Red lanterns hung everywhere along the commercial street, and some shops with traditional decor even posted couplets on their doors.

Only then did Xu Jingming realize that Spring Festival was approaching.

"This year's Spring Festival is on February 12th; today is January 30th—it's almost here."

Xu Jingming couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

In the blink of an eye, he had been transmigrated for over half a year.

But his first Spring Festival on Blue Star would likely be spent alone in the Thunderstorm Zone.

"Whatever, alone is fine—I've been alone before in my past life."

"For now, my priority is to fill my stomach."

Xu Jingming hurried into the commercial street.

He went to Qu Xiang Restaurant, where Senior Brother Jiang Luo had treated him before, and ordered a full table of dishes.

I have to say, the texture of thunder beast meat is indeed excellent.

It was tender and soft in the mouth, with a faint numbing flavor, as if weak electric currents were stimulating his tongue.

Xu Jingming spent over two hours finishing this feast.

"Last time, Senior Brother mentioned that besides the Thunderstorm Zone,

one could also visit the Thunder Tower in the urban area to observe natural lightning and improve proficiency with psychic abilities."

Xu Jingming sat down and opened the map on his smart bracelet.

Soon, he located the Thunder Tower's position on the map.

"Less than two kilometers away—not far at all."

Xu Jingming called the waiter to settle the bill, then rose and left.

The Thunder Tower stood at the city's edge, near the Thunderstorm Zone; Xu Jingming found it easily.

The Thunder Tower was three to four hundred meters tall, thick at the base and narrowing toward the top—the higher the level, the thinner the diameter.

The very top level Xu Jingming could see with his naked eyes seemed barely large enough to hold one person.

The entire tower stood like a giant lightning rod.

In fact,

the Thunder Tower was indeed a massive lightning rod.

Xu Jingming could see continuous lightning striking the tower from the sky.

The tower's outer walls faintly shimmered with electric currents.

"So the Thunder Tower channels natural lightning—that's why Senior Brother said you could observe natural lightning here."

Xu Jingming's eyes brightened, and he stepped into the first-floor lobby of the Thunder Tower.

"Sir, welcome. How may I assist you?"

Though it was only just past four a. ., a staff member warmly greeted Xu Jingming the moment he entered.

"I'd like to observe natural lightning."

"Are you a permanent resident or a temporary resident of the Thunder Realm?"

"Temporary."

"Understood. Please show me your access pass."

After Xu Jingming handed over his S-Rank Thunder Realm access pass for verification,

her eyes lit up, and she quickly said:

"As you hold an S-Rank pass, you are entitled to four hours of access to the 100th Floor Private Chamber. Would you like to use it now?"

"What do you mean by the 100th Floor Private Chamber?" Xu Jingming asked, puzzled.

Senior Brother Jiang Luo was absent; he knew nothing about these concepts.

"The Thunder Tower has 110 floors; the higher the floor, the better the observation of natural lightning.

The 100th Floor Private Chamber offers an excellent observation effect."

The staff member explained.

"I see. Then I'll use it now."

Xu Jingming's eyes gleamed slightly—he hadn't expected an S-Rank pass to come with such a benefit.

Under the staff member's guidance, he quickly took the elevator to the 100th floor of the Thunder Tower.

Due to the tower's tapering structure, the entire 100th floor seemed to contain only ten rooms.

"Your room is Number 6. We will notify you when your four-hour session ends."

After leading Xu Jingming into the room, the staff member closed the door and bowed respectfully before leaving.

"This is the chamber for observing lightning?"

Xu Jingming scanned the room, taking in its layout.

The room was slightly larger than the reading hall of the Demon Battle Technique Library, but its furnishings were extremely sparse.

There was only a cushion—no table, no equipment for observing lightning whatsoever.

Just as Xu Jingming was puzzled, a dense, piercing crackling of lightning arcs filled the air.

A torrent of brilliant blue lightning erupted from a showerhead-like device on the ceiling!

ZZZZZZ~~~

In an instant, the entire chamber was filled with crackling electricity.

"This is... the most fundamental form of lightning?!"

Xu Jingming's face lit up—he immediately recognized the lightning's uniqueness.

Although lightning constantly struck the Thunderstorm Zone, its origin was thousands of meters above ground!

Even psychics could not clearly observe its details with the naked eye.

But here, in this chamber, it was as if he was observing lightning up close, seeing its finer details and hidden mysteries!

Xu Jingming wasted no time—he immediately sat cross-legged, carefully observing while simultaneously deconstructing and simulating the lightning with Doushen Thunder.

He had a premonition that, in this state, his mastery over lightning-based abilities would rise rapidly!
