Practicing the Earth-tier Dou Technique, Thunder Adamant Body

Time flew by, and before long, a month had passed.

At dawn, a thin, pale-white mist shrouded the Mountain Top of the Back Mountain, lingering for a long time. A light breeze swept past, suddenly carrying with it the sizzling sound of electricity meeting flesh.

In a secluded grove atop the Back Mountain, Mo Yu stood with both feet planted like tree stumps. His expression was resolute, his teeth clenched tightly. His naked body, clad only in a pair of shorts, was covered in crimson currents of electricity.

Anyone who saw this scene would think the Youth was abusing himself.

After breaking through to the Eighth Stage Dou Qi, Mo Yu did not choose to use Profound Thunder to devour the other three first-tier Magic Cores in pursuit of another breakthrough. Instead, he found a secluded place to painstakingly cultivate and stabilize his foundation.

With the rich experience of his Previous Life, Mo Yu knew that those in the Dou Practitioner Realm could not blindly seek breakthroughs. They had to advance steadily, step by step, in order to go farther.

Especially during the Dou Qi stage, which formed the foundation of the entire building, one had to be even more cautious.

The reason Xiao Yan was able to achieve such great accomplishments later on was that he had remained at the Dou Qi stage for three years. As a result, his foundation was more stable than that of most Dou Practitioners in the world, allowing him to accumulate strength before erupting and soar into the heavens!

The reason Mo Yu had chosen to use Profound Thunder to temper his body was not because he was abusing himself, but because he was cultivating a Dou Technique!

Thunder Adamant Body: an Earth-tier Low-level Dou Technique, a body-tempering close-combat Dou Technique. It was renowned for its powerful body and formidable attacks. Once cultivated to perfection, it rendered the body impervious to blades and spears and immune to thunder and fire. Its might could even rival that of an Earth-tier Intermediate Dou Technique!

Thunder Adamant Body was a martial art Mo Yu had cultivated in his Previous Life. Converted to the Dou Qi Continent, Mo Yu estimated that it should be an Earth-tier Low-level Dou Technique. Although its quality was not particularly high, it was extremely suitable for his current cultivation stage.

Moreover, the highest-level Dou Technique in the Xiao Family was only at the Profound Tier. An Earth-tier Dou Technique was already exceedingly rare in Wu Tan City, and even throughout the Jia Ma Empire!

On the Dou Qi Continent, the gap between the Profound Tier and the Earth Tier was like the difference between heaven and earth; they could not be mentioned in the same breath. Although Thunder Adamant Body was only a body-tempering Dou Technique, once it reached great accomplishment, its attack power could even rival some Earth-tier Intermediate Dou Techniques.

Thunder Adamant Body was also a lower-tier supporting Dou Technique for an even more powerful body-tempering Dou Technique. That Dou Technique was likewise in Mo Yu's mind, but his current strength was too weak. Forcefully cultivating it would only do more harm than good.

Because that Dou Technique was an existence no weaker than a Heaven-tier Dou Technique!

As long as he cultivated Thunder Adamant Body to great accomplishment, he would be able to cultivate that Dou Technique with twice the result for half the effort in the future.

Another reason Thunder Adamant Body was more suitable for Mo Yu at present was that its requirements for Dou Qi were not particularly high.

Although it did not demand much Dou Qi, it had extremely high requirements for the body's strength. After all, it was a pure body-tempering Dou Technique.

The power of the Thunder and Flames of the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder was the best energy for tempering the body. As the energy released by the Vermilion Bird Sky-Burning Thunder grew stronger, the body would grow stronger as well.

Thus, for the past month, Mo Yu had come here every day to use the power of Profound Thunder to temper his body.

Under this method of training, Mo Yu's mastery of Thunder Adamant Body advanced rapidly.

As of today, Mo Yu had already condensed four Lightning Patterns on his body.

Lightning Patterns were the sign that Thunder Adamant Body had been successfully cultivated.

Being able to condense a single Lightning Pattern meant that one had initially mastered Thunder Adamant Body. Being able to condense Ten Lightning Patterns meant that Thunder Adamant Body had reached minor accomplishment. Being able to control a hundred Lightning Patterns meant that Thunder Adamant Body had reached great accomplishment!

Thunder Adamant Body at minor accomplishment was comparable to a Yellow-tier Dou Technique. At great accomplishment, it was comparable to a Profound-tier Dou Technique. At perfection, it was a true Earth-tier Dou Technique!

The four gleaming lightning-mark Lightning Patterns on the Youth's right arm represented the results of his month of arduous cultivation!

"Four Lightning Patterns. They're comparable to some Yellow-tier Intermediate Dou Techniques."

As Mo Yu sensed the surging power of the Lightning Patterns on his right arm, he picked up the blue robe placed on the stone and slowly put it on.

Because he had used Profound Thunder to temper his body, Mo Yu's body was extremely rigid at this moment. Putting on clothes, which had once been an exceedingly simple task, had become an incredibly difficult ordeal for the Youth. To outsiders, the scene looked absurdly comical.

Another half-month passed. Aside from burying himself in cultivation, Mo Yu devoted all his remaining attention to the body-tempering Dou Technique.

Heaven rewarded the diligent. During this half-month, Mo Yu condensed another Lightning Pattern, reaching a total of five Lightning Patterns!

Three Lightning Patterns in a month, and one Lightning Pattern in half a month. This showed that the further one progressed in condensing Lightning Patterns, the more difficult it became. Condensing a hundred Lightning Patterns would probably be no simple matter.

After condensing five Lightning Patterns, Mo Yu ended his period of arduous cultivation.

First, condensing Lightning Patterns required increasingly more time. Spending too long on it would only slow his breakthrough to the next realm.

Second, the Dou Qi Inside Body was too weak. Even if he cultivated Thunder Adamant Body to great accomplishment, he would still be unable to unleash its full power, which was comparable to a Profound-tier Dou Technique. In comparison, five Lightning Patterns, comparable to a Yellow-tier Intermediate Dou Technique, were just right.

"Since it's still early, I might as well go take a look at the Xiao Family's Skill Hall and see the low-level Dou Techniques of the Dou Qi Continent."

Having come to the Dou Qi Continent for so long, Mo Yu had gradually integrated into this place. He was therefore extremely curious about the cultivation system of the Dou Qi Continent.

Although the low-level Dou Techniques in the Xiao Family's Skill Hall were common and could be found everywhere, they could still offer a glimpse of the whole. They would help make up for Mo Yu's insufficient understanding of this world.

He had just spent several months cultivating arduously, so going to look at some books and ease his mental fatigue was also an excellent choice.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Mo Yu returned to the Xiao Family after somewhat adjusting to the slightly scorching sunlight. He followed the gravel path and leisurely Walked toward the rear courtyard.

Emerald-green willows grew on both sides of the gravel path. Their lush greenery instantly refreshed the spirits.

After turning onto another path, the laughter of a Youth and a Young Girl came from a different trail.

His quiet atmosphere disturbed, Mo Yu slightly furrowed his brows. His gaze followed the sound, landing on the group of Youths and Young Girls approaching with bright smiles.

Surrounded by the crowd, a somewhat alluring Young Girl and a handsome Youth were chatting merrily.

The two were Xiao Mei, who had attracted great attention at the testing Square that day, and Xiao Ning, the Grandson of the Xiao Family's Great Elder.

Mo Yu's indifferent gaze swept over the beautiful Young Girl and Xiao Ning, the Xiao Family's favored son of the present age. He did not even feel like greeting them and calmly passed by their sides.

Seeing Mo Yu's seemingly "eyes-above-everyone" attitude, the handsome Youth's expression immediately darkened. After learning Mo Yu's identity and seeing the direction in which he was heading, he said coldly:

"Going to the Skill Hall, are you? Just wait. I'll teach you, son of a slave, a lesson!"
