Chapter 213: Lei Ta! Rapidly Rising Proficiency!

【Physique】: 3087 Qi-Blood (+) → 3090 Qi-Blood (+)

Inside the training room, when Xu Jingming finished his cultivation of the Thunder Body Undying Art, his Qi-Blood had already risen by 3 points.

But don't underestimate these 3 points of Qi-Blood — under normal circumstances, Xu Jingming would need 6 days of cultivation to achieve such an improvement.

"Cultivating with the Thunder Crystal Core does indeed speed up physique improvement quite a bit.

Too bad, it can only last two hours."

Xu Jingming shook his head.

The energy inside this fourth-tier Lei He wasn't all that much, so being able to sustain thunder for two hours was already quite good.

The cultivation progress of the Thunder Body Undying Art had therefore improved a little.

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

This was also normal — after all, it was an S-rank body-tempering combat art.

Fourth-tier mid-position senior brother Jiang Luo, after cultivating for so many years, was still only at the fourth layer himself.

"Right, I haven't even told Senior Brother that I'm awake yet."

Xu Jingming only just remembered this matter.

He glanced at the time on his phone — it was already 2:23 a. m. on the 30th.

Senior Brother Jiang Luo should still be asleep at this hour, so Xu Jingming sent him a message on the chat app.

At that moment, a sudden, overwhelming wave of hunger struck.

"Slept for two days and two nights, then did another training session — I really do need a big meal to replenish my energy."

Xu Jingming rubbed his belly, got up, left the training room, and walked into the bathroom.

Two days ago he had basically dropped dead asleep the moment he lay down, without cleaning the bloodstains and sweat on his body.

Half an hour later, thoroughly refreshed, Xu Jingming changed into a casual outfit and left the villa.

The city area of the Lei Ting Secret Realm couldn't be considered large.

It wasn't even as good as the downtown of some small counties — driving through it took only 5 minutes.

Of course,

The most important part of the Lei Ting Secret Realm was the Thunderstorm Zone; the city area had only gradually developed because of the Thunderstorm Zone.

In fact,

The city area wasn't all ability-users either — there were ordinary people too.

These people had been living here before the Thunderstorm Zone appeared.

After the Lei Ting Martial Hall took over, they didn't choose to leave either, and had remained here ever since.

Due to the special nature of the Lei Ting Secret Realm, although it was already past two in the morning,

the entire city was still full of vitality. When Xu Jingming arrived at the commercial street,

the whole street was bustling with people, extremely lively — even the holographic projection ads in front of the shops were blaring loudly.

"Spring Festival mega-sale! All pills 20% off — buy 10 first-tier pills and get one free!"

"Huiyang Equipment presents the Spring Festival limited-edition Snowman Set E-rank combat suit — only 100 available, first come first served!

Whether for personal use or as a collectible, it's absolutely worth every penny!"

"E-rank exotic flowers and herbs, Spring Festival special — sold by the bundle!"

"..."

Every merchant's ad copy was inseparable from the words "New Year's Eve" and "Spring Festival."

The entire commercial street was hung with red lanterns everywhere, and even some of the more traditionally decorated shops had pasted couplets on their doors.

Only then did Xu Jingming realize that the Spring Festival seemed to be approaching.

"This year's Spring Festival is on February 12th, and today is January 30th — isn't that just about time for the Spring Festival?"

Xu Jingming couldn't help sighing inwardly.

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

But his first Spring Festival on Blue Star, he would most likely be spending alone in the Thunderstorm Zone.

"Whatever, alone is alone — it's not like I never experienced that in my past life.

The current priority is still to fill my stomach first."

Xu Jingming walked briskly into the commercial street.

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

He had to admit, the texture of thunder beast meat was indeed excellent.

While being very tender and soft in the mouth, it carried a faint numbing sensation, as if a weak electric current were stimulating the tongue.

Xu Jingming spent a full two-plus hours finishing this feast.

"Last time I heard Senior Brother say, besides the Thunderstorm Zone in the Lei Ting Secret Realm,

you can also go to the Lei Ta in the city area to observe natural thunder and improve your ability operation proficiency."

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

In no time, he found the location of the Lei Ta on the map.

"Less than two kilometers from here — not far at all."

Xu Jingming called the server over to settle the bill, then immediately got up and left.

The Lei Ta was located at the edge of the city area, close to the Thunderstorm Zone, and Xu Jingming found it easily.

This Lei Ta was a good three to four hundred meters tall, thick at the bottom and thin at the top — the higher the height, the smaller the diameter of the Lei Ta.

The very top layer of the Lei Ta that Xu Jingming could see with the naked eye seemed to be able to accommodate only a single person.

The entire Lei Ta stood there like a lightning rod.

In fact,

Lei Ta is indeed a giant lightning rod.

Xu Jingming could see continuous Lei Ting striking down onto Lei Ta from the sky.

The entire outer wall of Lei Ta faintly shimmered with electric light.

"Lei Ta can draw down natural Lei Ting—no wonder my senior said one could observe natural Lei Ting here."

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up, and he stepped into the first-floor lobby of Lei Ta.

"Mr. Hello, how may I assist you?"

Although it was only just past four in the morning, as soon as Xu Jingming entered, a server warmly approached him.

"I wish to observe natural Lei Ting."

"Are you a permanent resident or a temporary resident of the Lei Ting Secret Realm?"

"Temporary."

"Understood. Please show me your access pass."

After Xu Jingming handed his S-Class Lei Ting Secret Realm access pass to the server for verification,

she immediately brightened and said quickly:

"Since you hold an S-Class pass, you are entitled to four hours of access to the 100th-floor private chamber. Would you like to use it now?"

"What does '100th-floor private chamber' mean?" Xu Jingming asked, puzzled.

His senior Jiang Luo was not here; he knew nothing about these concepts.

"Lei Ta has 110 floors; the higher the floor, the better the effect of observing natural Lei Ting.

The 100th-floor private chamber is considered a floor with very good observation effects."

The server explained.

"I see. Alright, I'll use it now."

Xu Jingming's eyes glowed slightly—he hadn't expected the S-Class pass to have this benefit.

Under the server's guidance, he quickly took the elevator to the 100th floor of Lei Ta.

Due to Lei Ta's tapered structure—thick at the bottom, narrow at the top—the entire 100th floor seemed to have only ten rooms.

"Your room is Number 6. When your four-hour experience time ends, we will remind you."

After leading Xu Jingming into the room, the server closed the door and left respectfully.

"So this is the private chamber for observing Lei Ting?"

Xu Jingming's gaze swept the room, taking in its layout at a glance.

The room was slightly larger than the reading hall of the Demon War Techniques Library, yet its furnishings were extremely sparse.

There was only one cushion—no table, and no visible lightning to observe.

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

Dense blue Lei Ting gushed forth from a device on the ceiling resembling a showerhead!

Zzzzz~~~

In an instant, electric light filled the entire private chamber.

"This is... the most fundamental form of Lei Ting?!"

Xu Jingming's face lit up with delight—he immediately recognized the uniqueness of this lightning.

Although thunderstorms constantly struck down lightning, the source lay thousands of meters above ground!

Even an adept could not clearly observe it with the naked eye.

But here in this chamber, it was as if observing lightning up close—he could see far more details and secrets of the electric arcs!

Xu Jingming did not waste a moment; he sat cross-legged immediately, carefully observing while simultaneously deconstructing and simulating it with Dou Tian Shenlei.

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