Chapter 225: Thunder Law Synthesis!
Lu Jing frowned slightly, wanting to tell NieZhenghao that he had chosen the Yang Five Thunder, but in the end he didn't say it.
After all, it would be hard to explain—what reason does someone without an elemental affinity have for choosing thunder techniques?
Let NieZhenghao think I chose the Azure Heaven Sword Technique instead.
"President Nie, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first."
"Wait!"
Just as Lu Jing was about to leave the Daoist temple, NieZhenghao called out to stop him.
"What's up?"
Lu Jing turned his head to look at NieZhenghao.
"I heard you're planning to go to another martial arts university to challenge the tower and reach the summit?"
NieZhenghao kept pace with Lu Jing, smiling, "I suggest you wait until you break through to Grand Master before going—it's not that I doubt you can reach the top, but I'm afraid you'll be bullied at another school."
"How could that be? They're all prestigious martial arts universities; they wouldn't do something like that, would they?"
Lu Jing's eyes flickered as he asked doubtfully.
"It's quite possible. Our school's leaders are pretty laid-back—today when Feng Zichang came to challenge the tower, nobody stopped or interfered with him. But other schools are different; they might very well send students to challenge you in front of the Extreme Tower, even surround and attack you..."
NieZhenghao's expression was complex, "Think back—after Feng Zichang broke the record, how did our school's students look at him? Didn't they wish they could devour him alive? After all, possession of the Extreme Tower concerns everyone's personal interests; the fire's already lit, just needing a gust of wind."
Lu Jing nodded; NieZhenghao made a good point—he had experienced more than Lu Jing and considered things more thoroughly.
Feng Zichang was merely recorded breaking the record when the students of the Shogunate Martial Arts University surrounded him, eyes like tigers.
But Lu Jing's goal isn't just to break the record—he's going for the summit, which involves not only interests but also the reputation of the martial arts university.
By then, if just one student makes the first move, the others will surely follow—after all, the law does not punish the many.
"If they dare, I don't mind warming up before the summit."
Lu Jing waved his hand and then turned to leave.
"Huh?!"
NieZhenghao blinked slightly; he had thought Lu Jing would accept his suggestion and discuss it later, never expecting him to be so fearless.
"Sigh, I forgot to tell this kid about his mindset," NieZhenghao thumped his own hand and sighed, "Forget it—I'll arrange a few people to protect him when the time comes."
After leaving the Daoist temple, Lu Jing went straight back to the dormitory.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, his phone began to vibrate.
"You have a new email—please check it!"
Lu Jing opened his phone, and his eyes lit up instantly.
It was the tower rush reward credits arriving—exactly 1,100 points!
"How am I supposed to spend all these credits......"
Lu Jing lay back in the bathtub, comfortably soaking, and casually opened the forum, looking for some tips on how to use the credits.
He hadn't expected that after flipping through a dozen pages, every post was about him.
At a glance, these posts were all in enlarged bold font, with flame icons indicating popularity behind them.
"【Ask】 When is Brother Lu Jing going to another martial arts university to tower rush? I'll definitely go cheer him on! Fire fire fire"
"【On】 The value of Brother Lu Jing's summit of the Extreme Tower!! Fire fire fire"
"【Can】 Brother Lu Jing reveal what the reward for summiting the Extreme Tower is?! Fire fire fire"
"【Please】 Brother Lu Jing's contact info—there will be great thanks! Fire fire fire"
Lu Jing's current popularity is normal; the school is like a small community, and once a hot event occurs, it spreads like wildfire.
Moreover, Lu Jing set an unprecedented record for summiting, and he gave Feng Zichang and those outschool students a resounding slap in the face.
In the students' eyes, Lu Jing is a true hero!
"Does this forum have no search function?"
Lu Jing searched for a while but couldn't find where the search entry was; he thought browsing strategy posts might take until the year of the monkey and horse.
Left with no choice, he privately messaged Jiang Fanxin to ask for her advice on using the credits.
Upon learning that Lu Jing had been rewarded with over a thousand credits, Jiang Fanxin was utterly envious.
"Over a thousand credits! The school is really generous!"
"I heard credits can buy equipment and dan medicine and such—where do I go to buy them?"
"Go to the school's official store—haven't you downloaded it?"
Jiang Fanxin was somewhat speechless, "Just take out your student ID, scan the QR code on it, and you can go straight into the store!"
"That simple?"
Lu Jing blinked, quickly ended the chat, and took out his student ID.
"Beep—"
Sure enough, after scanning the code he entered a credits page showing his balance and transaction history, with a store icon in the upper right corner.
Lu Jing tapped in and found that there were actually quite a lot of things redeemable with credits.
Low-grade Dan Medicine: 2 credits each
Medium-grade Dan Medicine: 10 credits each
High-grade Dan Medicine: 50 credits each
Supreme Dan Medicine: 200 credits each
Ordinary alloy weapons: 10 credits per kilogram
D-grade alloy weapons: 30 credits per kilogram
C-grade alloy weapons: 50 credits per kilogram
Besides common weapons and dan medicine, there are also many dazzling pieces of equipment, materials, martial arts insights, strategy guides, and so on.
After browsing the official website store for a long time, Lu Jing took a liking to a set of black combat uniforms.
This set of clothing is made from the silk spat out by some high-ranking demon beast, and while it is impervious to water and fire, warm in winter and cool in summer, it also has a respectable defensive effect.
However, the price is somewhat higher, requiring 300 points.
After placing the order, Lu Jing walked out of the bathtub.
Blood Qi surged, and the rising heat wave instantly evaporated the water droplets on the body's surface.
Lu Jing casually threw on a bathrobe, walked to the desk and sat down, took out paper and pen, and drew a simple stick figure on the paper.
"Although Yang Five Thunder exists only in my mind, reproducing it on paper should be possible."
He said so with his mouth, but Lu Jing had no confidence in his heart.
The Wild Ox Strength secretly learned from Yao Rong earlier is a low-level cultivation method; its circulation route is simple, and just a few strokes outline the gist.
Yang Five Thunder is different, though; even its initial version is overly complicated.
"Whoosh——"
Lu Jing took a deep breath and began to move his pen.
The meridians on the stick figure were drawn one by one......
"First gather the body's thunder and lightning in the dantian, then through the central meridian, from point to surface, reach Heavenly Valley above, reach sea bottom below, penetrate up and down, in all directions, fully enter the Empty Valley, and with the power of thunder and lightning nourish the whole body."
Lu Jing's hand speed grew faster and faster, his strokes as if aided by divine help, and soon he filled more than ten sheets of A4 paper completely.
"Finally, add the technique's name, Yang Five Thunder!"
Lu Jing full of anticipation, stacked these papers in order and placed them into the synthesis slot.
Soon, a line of small text appeared beneath the synthesis slot.
【《Yang Five Thunder》:Created by the Huaguo Dragon Imperial Zhang Shogunate, exclusively for Thunder Talent Endowed, thunder and lightning are the heavenly decree; those who master it can command lightning and electricity, quell evil and subdue demons, and can also draw lightning into the body, where it combusts with internal Blood Qi, briefly boosting strength.】
