Two New Techniques

Why did the ancient Agricultural Official, Moving Clouds Spreading Rain, first issue thunder?

In the chaotic Era of Natural Disasters in ancient times, demons and monsters wreaked havoc, making it extremely difficult to Heavenly Timing or set the Heavenly Timing.

Thunder magic is used to purify the evil spirits and monsters between heaven and earth, so that living beings are subdued and conform to the Heavenly Timing set by the Agricultural Official.

This demonstrates the importance of thunder magic in Shennong Art.

Zhao Xing was also skilled in thunder magic in his previous life, and the comprehension effect of the Thunderstone on him was extremely powerful.

Firstly, because, like the Pure Yuan Vermillion Fruit, it is purely an addition of magical insights!

Secondly, after being transformed by the Dao Embryo Pill, Zhao Xing's comprehension and aptitude became extremely strong.

When you grasp the concepts, you'll be able to do it faster and more effectively.

Even if someone else obtains this Thunder Magic Essence, they might not achieve such amazing results.

"The power of thunder can be masculine and fierce, or feminine and dark, but regardless of the type, it possesses immense destructive power. Pure thunder also means pure destruction."

"Tens of thousands of kinds of lightning, some as soft as flowing hair, some as nimble as fish, and some as fierce as galloping beasts..."

As Zhao Xing watched the different lightning bolts flash before his eyes, his understanding of lightning magic also improved rapidly.

Unbeknownst to him, the Thunderstone grew smaller and smaller, and wisps of lightning gradually spread from the stone, clinging to Zhao Xing's body.

The lightning became extremely gentle and docile at this moment. Even when controlled subconsciously, the lightning did not harm Zhao Xing's body at all.

In the end, the purple stone turned into powder, while Zhao Xing became a purple electric man.

It sounded as if thunder was rumbling inside his chest.

With each heartbeat, a thunderous sound was heard.

Although the sound was soft, the officials resting and waiting near the Heavenly Altar Plaza could vaguely hear it.

The more skilled the person, the clearer they can hear.

"What's going on? The sky is perfectly clear, so why am I hearing thunder?" The middle-aged scholar, fanning himself with a feather fan, looked up at the sky.

"You heard thunder too?" A swordsman next to the middle-aged man with the feather fan looked up at the sky in confusion.

"Strange, the Heavenly Timing Rite here is incredibly stable, and there's absolutely no trace of anyone casting lightning magic." Wen Zhao looked around.

"Maybe we misheard? Maybe there are too many officials here and we're just too nervous." The martial artist picked at his ear.

"Bo Ran, you are a martial artist at the Gathering Yuan Eighth Level, with complete control over yourself. How could you possibly be experiencing auditory hallucinations?" Wen Zhao asked. "Do you even believe it yourself?"

Zhang Boran adjusted his sword hilt and chuckled, "I'd rather it was just a hallucination. Otherwise, if someone is casting a spell and I can't sense where it's coming from, wouldn't that be dangerous? I'm planning to be the first to offer First Incense tonight."

Wen Zhao for a moment, then looked at the pile of straw figures, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhang Boran raised an eyebrow. "You think that kid did it? That can't be right. I just watched him go up the mountain. He's at most at the Gathering Yuan Sixth Level. His Straw Man Art is exquisite, but it's not particularly powerful."

"He looks young, and it's already remarkable that he's proficient in Straw Man Art, could he also be proficient in thunder magic?"

Wen Zhao shook his feather fan, a hint of worry in his eyes. "It's true that he was at the Gathering Yuan Sixth Level before entering the temple, but don't forget that he possesses the Three Spiritual Essences; anything is possible."

The thunderous phenomenon didn't last long; soon all the lightning on Zhao Xing's body disappeared.

When he opened his eyes, a flash of lightning appeared and disappeared in them.

"The Way of Thunder is truly profound and mysterious," Zhao Xing couldn't help but exclaim.

The more you improve, the more Attaining Dao ahead is.

"Sizzle~"

Zhao Xing extended his five fingers, and a bolt of lightning appeared at each of his fingertips.

These five bolts of lightning extended and intertwined, forming a noose!

If the Old Sima Nong were here, he would probably give it a thumbs up.

Because this is a new spell!

It is a spell that one naturally comprehends after reaching the maximum level of [Thunderclap] and making further breakthroughs.

Just like Xue Wenzhong immersed himself in the initial stage of thunder magic for sixty years and comprehended the "Three Feet Heavenly Thunder" and "Palm Cloud Movement".

Zhao Xing named this new technique "Thunderbolt Lasso".

"There's more to it." Zhao Xing thought to himself. The Thunderbolt Lasso suddenly disintegrated, like a shovel of loose cotton thread, and then recombine, revealing a second change.

These fine lightning threads slowly combined to form a shape exactly like Zhao Xing's palm!

"Thunderclap Palm"

Zhao Xing couldn't help but laugh, mainly because he thought of using the second new method to fight, which was equivalent to giving someone a big shove in mid-air, which was both highly damaging and extremely humiliating.

"Excellent, this is the new spell I wanted."

Looking at the panel records, Zhao Xing discovered that the Thunder Magic was quite effective and had greatly improved his abilities.

First is the basic spell [Thunderclap], which is already at max level.

The intermediate-level spell [Guiding Thunder] broke through to the Seventh-Turn in one go!

However, the most important thing is the two new methods that I came up with based on the principles of Thunderclap and Guiding Thunder!

After Zhao Xing named the new method in his mind, the names and characteristics of the two new methods also appeared on the panel.

[Thunderbolt Lasso (Original): Mid-tier spell]

[Proficiency: Fifth Job Advancement (5121)]

[Effect: Creates up to five magical nooses with the power of lightning, which can quickly bind the enemy and render them immobile.]

[Thunderclap Palm (Original Creation): Mid-Tier Spell]

[Proficiency: Sixth-Turn (6354)]

[Effect: Delivers a powerful blow to the enemy with the force of thunder.]

The two spells, [Thunderbolt Lasso], are subtle and make very little noise when cast, which is the complete opposite of the usual thunder spells that make a lot of noise, making them very suitable for sneak attacks!

Wen Zhao and Zhang Boran, one at the Gathering Yuan Ninth Level Gathering Yuan Eighth Level, could only vaguely hear the thunder, but could not tell where it came from.

These two people have cultivated the [Ear Piercing] spell, which allows them to hear the buzzing of mosquitoes from a hundred meters away.

The Thunderclap Palm is powerful and extremely lethal. When combined with the Thunderbolt Lasso, the Yin and Yang complement each other perfectly.

Because it was a mid-level spell created based on Thunderclap and Guiding Thunder, once it was mastered, the spell level reached the fifth and Sixth-Turn levels respectively.

Because Zhao Xing was the founder of the spells, the power of these two spells could be continuously increased and surpassed without any constraints.

Just like the Old Sima Nong, he still used the framework of Cloudcalling and Thunderclap, but the power of his spells had already surpassed the Nine Turns.

Of course, if new insights or opportunities arise in the future, even more advanced spells can be created.

You can also use this as a foundation to learn advanced spells created by others. Learning from others provides a clear path forward and various teaching experiences, making cultivation much smoother.

Creating your own spells makes them more powerful because you are the creator, and you can use them more Wishful. But there is no one to teach you this path; you have to rely on yourself.

How to choose depends on personal preference.

"Having used the Thunder Magic Spiritual Essence and comprehended these two new techniques, I have a much better chance of winning the First Incense tonight," Zhao Xing thought to himself, before turning his gaze to the other two spiritual essences.
