Chapter 27: Yin-Yang Lightning Technique

The process of searching for food was exceptionally smooth.

In the city center, he only rummaged through a few abandoned supermarkets before finding a large bag of compressed biscuits and several bottles of clean drinking water.

It seems that the core area of this city has not yet been scavenged by other survivors.

Besides this, Chen Yusheng also found a batch of well-sealed canned goods, dried fish, and other shelf-stable food; the expiration dates were still valid, so they were perfectly safe to eat.

While searching for supplies, Chen Yusheng inevitably encountered quite a few wandering Sangshi.

He ignored these scattered Sangshi, waiting instead to take them all out in one go once they had accumulated.

He found several sturdy and durable backpacks, which he had the Mutant Zombie leader, second, third, fourth, and seventh carry one by one.

The collected food and water were all sorted and packed into the backpacks on the backs of the several Sangshi.

After one night, Chen Yusheng had already saved up several full backpacks of food and drinking water.

In addition to this, he killed ordinary Sangshi and harvested over six hundred Zombie Crystals.

After finishing this, he specifically took a detour to the riverside to carefully wash all the Zombie Crystals stained with filthy blood.

Finally, he returned to a small supermarket where he had hidden things before.

When he was first discovered by the drone, he had hidden a backpack here containing over five hundred Zombie Crystals.

Now that he took them out, the number of crystals surged once again.

After a night of rushing about, the sky began to brighten.

Chen Yusheng immediately found a building with an underground shopping mall, took the several Mutant Zombies inside, and prepared to go into seclusion to cultivate.

Wandering the streets during the day was too dangerous; if the He Family sent out drones for a large-scale search again, he would easily be exposed once more.

What Chen Yusheng did not know was that less than half an hour after he hid in the underground mall to begin cultivating, a drone took off from the camp outside the city and flew straight into the urban area to begin patrolling.

"Look over there, something is wrong on that street."

"What is it?"

"There is a huge pile of Sangshi corpses lying on the ground over there."

"Immediately send a FPV drone over to get a clear picture of the scene!"

Ten minutes later, the FPV drone skimmed at a low altitude over the street, clearly transmitting the mess on the ground back.

"Several hundred Sangshi, they were all killed by someone... looking at these wounds, the crystals in their heads were all taken out too?"

"Could it be the work of the Zombie King? Can the Zombie King actually grow stronger by relying on Zombie Crystals? Isn't it said that Sangshi cannot devour their own kind to strengthen themselves?"

"Maybe the Zombie King is different from ordinary Sangshi and has some special traits."

"If that's really the case... doesn't that mean the Zombie King isn't dead at all?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions turned incredibly ugly.

"Ten to one, it's still alive. We must report this situation immediately and wait for instructions from leadership."

Chen Yusheng never expected that even though he had managed to hide during the day and move at night, he had still indirectly exposed the truth that the "Zombie King is not dead."

When searching for food last night, a large group of Sangshi had been attracted by the noise and followed him the whole way.

He was too lazy to clear them out one by one at the time, so he waited until the supplies were collected before striking all at once to wipe out the trailing Sangshi.

As a result, a large, neat pile of Sangshi corpses was left on that street.

It would be strange if such an obvious trail wasn't discovered by a drone.

Fortunately, his current hiding spot was extremely far from the street where the incident occurred.

Even if someone discovered the anomaly, it would be absolutely impossible for them to follow the clues and find his current hiding place.

What's more, he had already stockpiled a large amount of food and water, and the Zombie Crystals numbered over one thousand.

Such abundant resources were enough for him to safely and steadily go into seclusion for a long time.

Before continuing to push toward the True Qi Realm, Chen Yusheng felt that the Technique methods he currently mastered were too thin.

After a moment of thought, he decided to also cultivate the Daoist Thunder Method.

The Thunder Method is the most rigid, fierce, and sharp killing technique of the Daoist school.

To cultivate the Thunder Method, one must first master the Golden Light Incantation.

Only with the Golden Light protecting the body will one not suffer a backlash when drawing upon thunder.

The Thunder Method is further divided into Yin Thunder and Yang Thunder.

In ancient times, the two thunders of Yin and Yang could not be cultivated together.

It was not until the development of modern science that people figured out: Yang Thunder corresponds to positively charged thunder, and Yin Thunder corresponds to negatively charged thunder.

Following this principle, the descendants of the Daoist sect created the Yin-Yang Lightning Technique that can be cultivated simultaneously.

Chen Yusheng's master was one of the people who pioneered this method of dual Yin-Yang cultivation and was of the same generation as the Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei.

The threshold for cultivating the Thunder Method is extremely high:

Yang Thunder requires talent in the three elements of Metal, Wood, and Fire.

Yin Thunder requires talent in the three elements of Metal, Wood, and Water.

If one wishes to cultivate both Yin Thunder and Yang Thunder together, one must also add Earth-element talent.

Only with the heavy virtue of Earth can one carry the two Qi of Yin and Yang, allowing the two types of thunder to coexist within the body without conflicting.

In other words, to master the complete Yin-Yang Lightning Technique, one must possess the full Five Elements Spiritual Root of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

And Chen Yusheng just happened to possess the complete Five Elements Spiritual Root.

The Thunder Method is already top-tier among Daoist offensive means; whether it is Yin Thunder or Yang Thunder, it has extremely strong restraint and lethality against evil spirits, Sangshi, and even living people.

But once Yin Thunder and Yang Thunder are fused to master the true Yin-Yang Lightning Technique, the power can surge more than four times over the basis of a single type of thunder.

Time passed second by second.

A few hours later, Chen Yusheng lifted his fingertip slightly, and with a "Crack!", a bolt of lightning shot out from his palm.

The lightning was as thick as a chopstick, extending over ten meters through the air, and struck fiercely against a distant wall.

After repeated deduction and circulation, he finally regained mastery of the Yang Thunder.

Chen Yusheng could clearly feel that using the True Qi of this lifetime to drive the Thunder Method resulted in power significantly greater than when he used Primordial Qi in his previous life.

It was just a pity that his cultivation was still shallow, and the strength and tolerance of his Meridians were limited, so he could not inject more True Qi, and the power was temporarily restricted.

After another few hours, Chen Yusheng raised his left hand, and a bolt of lightning burst from his fingertips once again.

It was the same thickness as a chopstick, and the same range of over ten meters.

Only this bolt was Yin Thunder.

Immediately after, Chen Yusheng raised both hands simultaneously, firing from both sides.

Yang Thunder in his right hand, Yin Thunder in his left; two bolts of electric light flickered at the same time.

At this stage, he could be considered to have fully cultivated both Yin Thunder and Yang Thunder, and could release them simultaneously.

But this did not yet count as the true Yin-Yang Lightning Technique.

The core of the Yin-Yang Lightning Technique lay in the fusion of Yin and Yang.

It sounded simple, but when actually practicing it, the process was exceptionally difficult and cumbersome; the slightest carelessness would lead to Qi deviation.

Next, Chen Yusheng had several Mutant Zombies stand guard strictly all around to prevent any disturbance, while he himself entered a relatively enclosed space to focus on breaking through the barrier of fusing the Yin-Yang Lightning Technique.

Time passed bit by bit in the silence.

Chen Yusheng himself did not know exactly how long he had been practicing; he only knew that the moment the Yin-Yang Lightning Technique was completely formed, his stomach was growling with hunger, and his whole body was filled with intense emptiness and exhaustion.

Judging solely by his hunger, this period of seclusion had lasted at least nearly a day.

After simply eating some food and replenishing his water, Chen Yusheng led several Sangshi out of the underground shopping mall to check the sky.

The light outside was clearly that of the afternoon.

He had started practicing in the morning, and just practicing the Yin Thunder and Yang Thunder separately had taken over ten hours, so it could not possibly be the afternoon of the same day.

In other words, more than a full day had passed during his seclusion.

To have regained the Yin-Yang Lightning Technique in just over a day, the speed could already be called terrifying.

In his previous life, Chen Yusheng had explored the Yin-Yang Lightning Technique from scratch and spent a full few months to achieve success.

The reason it was so rapid in this lifetime was mainly because he was already intimately familiar with this technique, and every detail and every barrier was crystal clear to him.

It was just like an experienced driver who hadn't driven in years; as long as they got back behind the wheel, it wouldn't take long to fully regain their state.
