Two days later.
Meng Tian tested his vitality once.
"Your vitality is 18.98, 0.08 higher than your last test."
"Haha... Meng the Second will be back soon!"
Meng Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead and casually flicked it onto the ground.
The gray floor darkened slightly.
Crackle!
Knock, knock, knock...
Meng Tian had just been about to open the door when a bolt of lightning fell from above.
"No, Brother Xu..."
Seeing this, Xu Zhiming was unusually a little embarrassed.
"Sorry, it was a reflex."
Meng Tian rubbed his numb head.
"Come in."
Ling Tianjian heard the two talking inside.
He felt somewhat envious.
Xu Zhiming really was fearless in his ignorance, daring to electrocute Meng Tian.
Meng Tian was no mild-tempered person.
"Young Master Meng, everything is ready."
Meng Tian's eyes widened. It was time to take a break as well.
"Brother Xu, go with Hall Master Ling."
Xu Zhiming looked at Meng Tian questioningly, but his hands did not stop moving.
He could not stop practicing just to ask.
"I'll definitely make good on what I promised you."
Meng Tian lightly stroked the scar on his face and laughed heartily.
Training together with Xu Zhiming made him feel more at peace.
He truly regarded Xu Zhiming as a friend now.
He greatly admired Xu Zhiming's attitude toward martial arts—simply work hard, then leave everything else to fate.
It was just that...
He was already close to breaking through twelve points of vitality, so he could slack off a little.
After returning home at night.
Meng Tian had also been secretly training extra.
After two nights, he discovered that his vitality had not increased.
Later, he learned that the fifth level of the Wind Thunder Fist no longer had any effect on improving his vitality either.
Yet his vitality was still slowly rising, thanks to Xu Zhiming electrocuting him every day.
The effect on his vitality growth was also getting worse and worse.
"I'll strive to break through twenty points of vitality within a week!"
Meng Tian silently made up his mind.
As long as his vitality reached twenty points, he could go back, have his older sister hold that person down, and slap a certain someone's face hard.
He had not forgotten the scar on his face.
Meng Tian watched Xu Zhiming leave, then continued practicing the Wind Thunder Fist.
The sooner he reached twenty points of vitality, the sooner he could take revenge.
Before he had enough strength, he had to keep his vengeance bottled up inside.
After leaving the Training Room.
Ling Tianjian slowed his pace and lightly coughed.
He was preparing to discuss his earlier idea with Xu Zhiming.
"Student Xu Zhiming, may I ask whether you would be interested in teaching others the Wind Thunder Fist?"
"Those students from that day saw you displaying your might, and they all want to learn from you."
"They even offered to pay extra themselves, just so you would teach them."
Xu Zhiming pondered for a moment.
"I'll consider it."
"Hall Master Ling, you should still take me to see the D-grade Martial Dao Visualization Diagram, Rolling Heavenly Thunder."
Ling Tianjian nodded.
Saying he would consider it was enough. He would return and discuss it with the others at the Martial Hall, then offer Xu Zhiming terms that would satisfy him.
For the moment, he had not thought of anything that could attract Xu Zhiming.
A D-class Visualization Diagram?
It seemed Meng Tian had not told Xu Zhiming that they had prepared a C-class Visualization Diagram.
If it were merely a D-class Visualization Diagram, their Wind Thunder Martial Hall in Cloud Water City could provide one at any time.
Only for a C-class one did someone need to transport it from a larger city.
If a small city possessed a high-grade Martial Dao Visualization Diagram, it would easily attract people with ulterior motives to seize it.
A high-grade Martial Dao Visualization Diagram was the foundation upon which a faction stood.
It was impossible to let others obtain one so easily.
Since Meng Tian had not said anything, neither would he.
If he angered Meng Tian, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Very soon.
Li Tianjian stood before a Secret Chamber and opened the door.
"Come with me."
He switched on the lights.
The interior was sparsely furnished, containing only a glowing humanoid diagram.
Li Tianjian pointed to the humanoid diagram as he explained.
"You've reached the sixth level of the Wind Thunder Fist. Stand before it and use the power of Thunderbolt to activate it."
"It lasts for a total of one day. You can use it at any time, but it's best to finish within a week. Otherwise, the energy contained inside will completely dissipate."
Xu Zhiming nodded.
One day was enough.
"Don't waste it. Many people never get the chance to cultivate Rolling Heavenly Thunder in their entire lives."
After speaking, Li Tianjian brought over three bottles of Energy Potion and Vitality Potion from the corner.
They were all E-grade and extremely expensive.
"Use the potions as you please. You don't have to pay."
"These potions will keep your body from becoming exhausted during the comprehension process."
Xu Zhiming accepted them and set the potions aside.
His heart grew a little heated.
The market price of D-grade Rolling Heavenly Thunder was twenty million. Once cultivated to completion, it doubled one's Vitality Quality.
His Vitality Quality had already doubled.
A doubled Vitality Quality meant that, compared to someone with the same vitality who had never cultivated a Martial Dao Visualization Diagram...
The damage dealt by one point of his vitality was twice that of others.
Li Tianjian left and gently closed the door.
He wondered how long Xu Zhiming would need to completely comprehend Rolling Heavenly Thunder.
Rolling Heavenly Thunder cost more than twice as much as ordinary Visualization Diagrams of the same grade.
Naturally, its difficulty of comprehension was also extraordinarily high.
He remembered that when he had comprehended D-grade Rolling Heavenly Thunder, it had taken him three full days, seventy-two hours in total.
He had C-grade aptitude as well.
Xu Zhiming had cultivated the Wind Thunder Fist to the sixth level, so perhaps he was especially suited to Rolling Heavenly Thunder.
The comprehension time should be shortened to one day.
During the other day, he could use the diagram's thunder energy to temper his body, and his vitality should increase considerably.
This was also a hidden reward that the Wind Thunder Martial Hall gave to trainees with good aptitude.
After the power of Rolling Heavenly Thunder was nearly depleted, there was another hidden reward. He felt it might not be of much use to Xu Zhiming.
Of course, those who needed more time to comprehend it naturally could not obtain such a reward.
"First, I need to find a way to keep Xu Zhiming here."
Inside the Secret Chamber.
Xu Zhiming walked up to the humanoid points of light and leaned in for a closer look.
The dark blue glow possessed a mysterious texture.
He could not make head nor tail of it.
He rapidly performed the Wind Thunder Fist once, then controlled lightning to strike the humanoid points of light.
The lightning fell upon the humanoid points of light.
The humanoid points of light seemed to come alive.
The points of light slowly flowed, as though circulating in some special manner.
An indescribable aura spread out.
Xu Zhiming stared fixedly at the points of light, not daring to miss even the tiniest detail.
He knew very well that the more serious and diligent he was, the higher the Critical Hit would be.
You diligently viewed a C-class Martial Dao Visualization Diagram once, triggering a 10x Critical Hit
A great deal of information surfaced in Xu Zhiming's mind.
Within the humanoid points of light, the things flowing like water were vitality.
All kinds of things...
After digesting the information, Xu Zhiming immediately continued watching.

He continued digesting it. Once he was done, he continued watching.
And so the cycle repeated.
He did not know how much time had passed.
Xu Zhiming felt that he had comprehended more than half the information contained in the points of light.
He had not succeeded yet. He had to keep working.
You diligently viewed a C-class Martial Dao Visualization Diagram, triggering a 50x Critical Hit
A great many more insights flashed through Xu Zhiming's mind.
More than ten seconds later.
Xu Zhiming felt that he had basically comprehended it all and could try cultivating the C-class Martial Dao Visualization Diagram.
You cultivated C-class Rolling Heavenly Thunder once, triggering a 10x Critical Hit
Suddenly.
Xu Zhiming sensed a surge of thunderbolt erupt from within the points of light and strike his body at extreme speed.
"Every day I electrocute Meng Tian, and today it's my turn?"
