Chapter 245: Purple Firmament Metamorphosis

Zizzi—

Blazing thunder gathered at the fingertips, containing terrifying destructive power.

Lu Jing nodded in satisfaction, lightly shaking his hand.

Hu—

The thunder at the fingertips instantly vanished, leaving no trace.

Passing Thunder Pond, he returned to the cave.

"Let's go, village chief, it's time to head back."

Lu Jing spoke softly, walking back along the way he came on his own.

"Right... we should go back!"

The village chief came to his senses and followed Lu Jing out.

In his view, Lu Jing ahead was like a golden sun.

Slowly rising.

On the speeding bus, warm afternoon sunlight fell on Lu Jing, gilding him with a golden glow.

Lu Jing turned his head, watching the scenery flash by outside the window, thinking about what he needed to handle after returning to school.

After leaving the cave, Lu Jing greeted Lei Hao and the others and departed.

Unexpectedly, the village chief voluntarily offered to keep it secret, promising not to tell anyone—including his own son—about Lu Jing's possession of aberrant thunder.

Lu Jing said nothing more; he wasn't afraid of the aberrant thunder being exposed.

He was certain the village chief had no smart device, so he couldn't produce any evidence.

Even if the matter blew up and many people knew, Lu Jing wasn't worried; now he had the strength to guard this secret.

Moreover, besides him, who could achieve a hundred percent absorption of aberrant thunder?

For others, the allure of aberrant thunder isn't that great.

"This trip to Wuye Mountain has been incredibly rewarding..."

Lu Jing murmured to himself.

Not only did he successfully cultivate the first transformation of the Divine Heaven Thunder Metamorphosis, but he also enjoyed the scenery of autumn forests in full color.

"This aberrant thunder is heaven‑born and earth‑nurtured; it has no name, so let me name it."

Lu Jing thought to himself, "My cultivation method is called Divine Heaven Thunder Art, so this aberrant thunder shall be called Purple Firmament Divine Thunder."

As for the first transformation, it shall be called Purple Firmament Metamorphosis!

"Purple Firmament Metamorphosis can double one's strength across the board; the stronger my base strength, the greater this boost.

Once back at school I will first refine it, and then it will be time to charge the towers at other martial universities..."

Bakufu Martial University.

Lu Jing's tower‑charging fervor did not diminish after leaving school; on the contrary, it intensified.

The school forum's topics about Lu Jing occupied the first few pages, with new posts constantly being bumped to the top.

Night fell.

Lu Jing sat cross‑legged in the training room on the first floor of the villa.

His eyes tightly closed, his perfect cheetah‑like body rose and fell rhythmically with his breath.

Listening closely, one could hear thunderous sounds hidden within Lu Jing's breath!

His consciousness sank into his body, guiding the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder to circulate endlessly through his meridians.

In the crystal‑clear meridians, the bluish‑purple Purple Firmament Divine Thunder surged like flames.

After being absorbed by Lu Jing via the method of the Divine Heaven Thunder Metamorphosis, this aberrant thunder became as obedient as a baby, causing no harm to his body, as if it shared the same origin.

"Hu—"

Lu Jing focused his spirit; with the aid of his mental power, the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder flowed precisely along the meridians, completing several circuits before returning to the side of the diamond figurine.

"Without the Divine Heaven Thunder Metamorphosis, how could a human body absorb this thing? Sending such danger into one's body is nothing short of courting death."

Lu Jing increasingly felt the Divine Heaven Thunder Metamorphosis was exceptional.

After Lu Jing had manipulated the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder to circulate a few rounds, even if he left it alone, the divine thunder would continue to follow the preset path on its own.

Each completed circuit strengthened Lu Jing's flesh by a degree.

Unconsciously, he finished tempering his body and washing his marrow.

"Success!"

A hint of joy flashed in Lu Jing's eyes.

From now on he can grow stronger while lying down.

"Next is the use of Thunder Armor..."

After calming his excited heart, Lu Jing again manipulated the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder to flow through his meridians.

Weng—

Soon, bluish‑purple electric arcs appeared on Lu Jing's body, constantly jumping and flickering on his surface.

Gradually, these electric arcs grew denser, flowing like water to envelop his entire body, forming a ferocious armor.

Boom!

At the moment the Thunder Armor formed, a surge of plasma spread outward.

The training room's power instantly overloaded, the lights went out, yet the interior remained as bright as daytime.

For Lu Jing was now enveloped in thunder armor, appearing in the pitch‑black night like a thunder god!

Zheng—

The Thousand‑Blade Demon Sword was drawn from his waist.

Lu Jing held the demon blade, standing upright, the thunder armor on his body flashing blue‑purple light with his breath, as if it had come to life.

Moreover, this purple firmament divine thunder can also cling to the blade of the Thousand‑Blade Demon Sword.

Hum!

The Thousand‑Blade Demon Sword instantly turned into an electric blade, buzzing!

He now wanted to strike with a blow, but considering that destroying the villa would cost him money, he dismissed the idea.

Lu Jing sheathed the Thousand‑Blade Demon Sword.

The thunder‑lightning armor on his body turned into specks of starlight and dissipated in the air.

"With the purple firmament divine thunder, my strength has been enhanced in every way...

"Attack, defense, and speed have all risen a level thanks to the existence of the strange thunder."

A few days later, morning.

The sky was fully bright.

Lu Jing walked to the balcony and stretched.

A pair of diamond‑bright eyes flashed a hint of blue‑purple light.

"Today is the day to rush the tower..."

Lu Jing's mental power spread, and he found Ma Houshi pacing back and forth at the entrance of his villa.

He jumped straight down from the balcony, landing steadily on the ground like a wisp of clean wind, without raising a speck of dust.

Opening the door, Ma Houshi was pacing outside.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Jing asked.

"Brother Lu, you've finally returned—I was dying of worry!"

Upon seeing Lu Jing, Ma Houshi's anxious face instantly turned to excitement and fervor.

"Brother Lu, today is the day to issue the challenge letter—everyone is in an uproar, just waiting for this day!"

Lu Jing nodded, closed the door, and walked outward.

Ma Houshi hurriedly followed behind him, rubbing his hands excitedly like a fly, already imagining in his mind the scene of Lu Jing domineeringly suppressing the geniuses of other schools.

"Brother Lu, which martial university are we going to rush the tower at?"

Lu Jing kept walking, saying lightly, "Let's get something to eat first."

"Eat?"

Ma Houshi blinked, somewhat unable to keep up with Lu Jing's train of thought, "Where to eat?"

"The cafeteria of Yanghai Martial University," Lu Jing said with a smile, "Let's see how their food is."

Ma Houshi's eyes lit up again, and he gave a foolish hehe laugh, "Brother Lu, bring me along! I'll go to back you up!"

Yanghai Martial University.

Inside the First Cafeteria.

It was mealtime, and the cafeteria was crowded with people.
