Chapter 196: Realization, Heaven's Punishment · Lei Shen Spear!

Ahead.

Billowing dust and smoke gradually dispersed in the air.

The low mountain, completely flattened, was rising with a pungent smell of burning.

"Hoo—"

Principal Guhe exhaled a long breath.

The violent thunder elements slowly receded from around him.

He turned and walked toward Lin Mo and the others.

Everyone involuntarily held their breath.

Too powerful.

Who could withstand this spear strike that destroys heaven and earth!

Principal Guhe walked up to Lin Mo.

He looked at Lin Mo, a smile on the corner of his lips.

"How is it, Lin Mo?"

"How does this move 【Heaven's Punishment · Lei Shen Spear】 feel?"

Principal Guhe stroked his beard, a hint of emotion in his tone:

"You saw the power of this move, but its difficulty is equally hellish."

"Thunder power is inherently extremely violent; forcing it to compress requires mental strength and elemental micro-control to a degree that is hair-raising."

"Do you... have confidence?"

Hearing Principal Guhe's question.

Lin Mo remained outwardly calm, but his heart stirred slightly.

How does it feel?

Little Lei indicated it was a complete mess...

Hmm...

But he definitely couldn't say that.

He still had some emotional intelligence.

Lin Mo's expression turned serious as he met Principal Guhe's gaze.

"Principal."

"I... will try."

Hearing this answer.

The smile on Principal Guhe's face grew even stronger, his eyes full of expectation.

"Good!"

"Go!"

Having said that, Principal Guhe stepped back a few paces, leaving the arena to Lin Mo.

Behind.

Zhang Daoyuan tapped Xu Wenchang beside him and couldn't help lowering his voice.

"Old Xu..."

"Do you think... Lin Mo can perfectly replicate it this time?"

"This is the hardest single-target skill in the Thunder element; even the Principal struggled to master it after years of research."

Hearing these words.

Xu Wenchang rolled his eyes directly.

"Old Zhang, why do you only speak nonsense? Just watch the show."

Ahead.

Lin Mo took a few steps forward.

Then, he took a deep breath.

All eyes in the arena were fixed intently on Lin Mo's back.

Lin Mo stopped.

"Little Lei, go."

In the skill bar.

'Thunder Strike' merely flickered with a faint Lei Guang.

As Lin Mo raised his right hand.

Boom—!!

In an instant.

The dim sky was torn apart again!

Heavy thunderstorm clouds formed once more!

Its momentum was in no way inferior to the scene when Principal Guhe acted just now.

Crackle crackle!

Countless thick lightning arcs rolled within the clouds like furious dragons.

Immediately after.

Boom boom boom—!!

Accompanied by the rumble of thunder, a colossal phantom of the Lei Shen emerged from the cloud cluster.

Within the Lei Shen's phantom eyes flickered a sovereign majesty that looked down upon all the world.

"Come."

The corner of Lin Mo's mouth lifted slightly as his right hand clenched in the void.

The漫天 thunder-light instantly grew restless, madly converging toward the midair.

Violent thunder elements ran rampant through the air, tearing open countless scorched-black fissures.

Suddenly,

those originally restless thunder-lights ceased their rampage and began to shrink madly into that Lei Shen spear.

Those thunder elements wove themselves together of their own accord.

Compared with the thunder spear Principal Guhe had just condensed.

the Lei Shen spear above Lin Mo's head was clearly far, far more restrained.

All the power of thunder was perfectly compressed within the spear's body.

Only a wisp of incomparably pure thunder-light, like a swimming dragon, leapt quietly around the spear's length.

Calm.

Yet it radiated an extreme sense of destruction that made one's very soul tremble.

……

Behind.

Everyone noticed something was off.

Fang Lei's eyes went wide as he scratched his head:

"Huh?"

"Why does it feel… Lin Mo the Great Demon King's thunder spear doesn't look as wild as the principal's just now?"

Li Xue'er was also full of doubt.

"Yeah…"

"It looks like it's gotten a lot quieter? Even the thunder's gotten softer."

At the same time,

standing at the very front, Principal Guhe was the most shocked of all.

He stared fixedly at that spear of the Lei Shen in midair, restrained to the extreme.

"How is this possible…"

"Such violent thunder elements…"

"How could they possibly be controlled to this degree?"

"This… this is simply the most perfect form of this move, the one I've always dreamed of!"

Just as Principal Guhe's spirit was shaken to its core.

Lin Mo, far away, moved.

His right hand suddenly swept forward.

"Little Thunder, blast it to pieces!"

The Lei Shen phantom behind him swung in perfect sync.

Boom——!!!

The Lei Shen spear vanished from where it stood in an instant.

Its speed had clearly surpassed the speed of sound; in everyone's eyes, it left behind only an extreme white streak that pierced through heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye.

Rumble rumble rumble——!!!!

The thunder spear slammed viciously into another low mountain.

The instant it made contact with the mountain's body.

The thunder spear, in a terrifying posture that swept all before it, pierced straight through the entire mountain in an instant.

Immediately after,

the extremely compressed thunder elements detonated with a roar inside the mountain!

Blinding thunder-light swallowed the entire low mountain in an instant.

When the light faded.

Ahead.

that massive low mountain had been completely leveled to the ground.

Not only that.

On the ground, there was also a terrifyingly deep bottomless crater!

……

In Lin Mo's vision, a panel prompt popped up.

【Congratulations! Your skill 'Thunder Strike' has been successfully deduced and comprehended into a high-tier thunder skill, Heavenly Punishment · Lei Shen Spear (Lv. 1)!】

【Heavenly Punishment · Lei Shen Spear (Lv. 1): Condense violent thunder into a spear, lock onto a single target and hurl it. Deals extreme piercing damage. This skill ignores 70% of the target's defense, inflicts a 'Paralysis' effect on hit, and deals thunder splash damage to targets around it. Cooldown: 5 minutes.】

Looking at the skill description on the panel.

Lin Mo couldn't help his heart skip a beat.

Good lord…

No wonder they say this move is the strongest single-target divine skill!

Ignores 70% of defense!

Though my own Earth-element 【Dead Thorn Rock Spear】 also carries armor-piercing effects.

But this is Thunder-element!

Thunder-element is, among all elements, the existence with the highest burst damage.

On top of this extremely high burst, it also ignores the target's 70% defense.

This damn thing...

One strike like this would absolutely annihilate gods and ghosts alike!

Lin Mo, in his heart, sincerely praised:

"Well done, Xiao Lei."

"As expected of you; you didn't disappoint me."

【The 'Thunder Strike' technique's tone remained aloof: "Acceptable."】

After praising Xiao Lei.

Lin Mo did not forget to attend to the other two elders as well.

"Xiao Huo, Xiao Tu."

"Did you see?"

"This is the result of hard work."

"You two must work hard too. Don't spend all day fighting over jealousy. As long as you continue to strive for sudden enlightenment, you will all grow stronger and stronger."

"By then, what does High-Tier matter? Super-Tier, Forbidden Spells—they will all be yours!"

Hearing this familiar empty promise.

In the skill bar.

【'Fireball' snorted coldly: "Hmph, this seat will absolutely not lose to that show-off and that little hussy! This seat will definitely become a Forbidden Spell!"】

【'Earth Shield' nodded repeatedly: "Wuwuwu... Big Brother is right! Master, rest assured, Second Brother will definitely guard you to the death! I will work hard to become stronger!"】

Principal Guhe withdrew his gaze and fixed it once more on Lin Mo.

Why?

Why can this young man control the Thunder element to such a degree?

That is Lei Ting.

The most violent Lei Ting!

For so many years, I have studied day and night, attempting to suppress it with vast spiritual power, yet I still cannot achieve such perfection.

Principal Guhe's breathing gradually grew急促.

No.

I cannot.

If I do not figure out this problem today, I fear my mind will never be at peace for the rest of my life.

Even if I have to swallow my pride and ask a freshman for advice.

I must understand it!
