What the Hell Kind of Riddle Are You Playing?

"Brother Xu, don't go. I want you to keep whipping me."

It was another afternoon.

Xu Zhiming estimated the time. It was time to practice the Martial Dao Visualization Chart.

He forcefully shook off Meng Tian's hand.

"Scram, scram, scram. Don't disgust me. I'm going to practice the Martial Dao Visualization Chart."

"Once I improve a little more, I can let you experience what Rolling Heavenly Thunder means for free."

Meng Tian shuddered and repeatedly shook his head.

"Go on, go on. I was wrong, bro."

Xu Zhiming smiled faintly.

Today, he had deliberately increased his strength. Meng Tian's vitality had risen by 0.2 in a single day!

And the Wind Thunder Fist had improved tremendously as well.

The only thing that dissatisfied him was this.

The Wind Thunder Fist was still stuck at the incomplete Seventh Level. He could not trigger a critical hit to obtain the complete Seventh Level.

Today, he had triggered a 1000x Critical Hit, yet it had only raised his vitality by 0.1.

Each time he practiced the Wind Thunder Fist, the usual critical hit multiplier had already risen to seventyfold.

Moreover, the cultivation effects of the Wind Thunder Fist could stack with Rolling Heavenly Thunder.

Xu Zhiming also understood why the Wind Thunder Fist had not broken through to the Seventh Level.

He had practiced too few martial techniques. He could not draw inferences from one instance, nor could he borrow from similar martial techniques.

Xu Zhiming thought it over. His shortcomings needed to be remedied.

Once the power of Rolling Heavenly Thunder had been exhausted, he would visit Yunshui Second High School and see whether there were any fist techniques or teachers skilled in fist arts who could offer him some guidance.

Xu Zhiming entered and began practicing Rolling Heavenly Thunder.

You diligently practiced C-class Rolling Heavenly Thunder once, triggering a 10x Critical Hit

You diligently endured the tempering of thunderbolt. Your vitality increased, triggering a 20x Critical Hit. Increased by 0.01

Xu Zhiming felt the tempering effect of the thunderbolt on his body gradually weakening.

Yesterday, a 10x Critical Hit had increased his vitality by 0.01. Now, it took a 20x Critical Hit to achieve yesterday's result.

He pulled up the panel and glanced at his vitality.

Vitality: 28.22

It had increased quite a bit compared to yesterday. The results were still pretty good.

He had looked it up yesterday.

C-class Rolling Heavenly Thunder required fifty million to purchase. The price was outrageously high.

Rolling Heavenly Thunder was also the Martial Dao Visualization Chart cultivated by True King Wind Thunder.

It was said that True King Wind Thunder had created it in order to improve the aptitudes of later generations.

It was precisely because this Visualization Diagram could improve aptitude that its price was twice that of other Visualization Diagrams of the same grade.

A trace of anticipation flashed through Xu Zhiming's heart. He wondered whether it could raise his aptitude to Grade B.

Another day passed.

When he left, Xu Zhiming saw that the humanoid light spot was emitting far less light than at first. The thunderbolt power contained within was less than one-third of yesterday's.

"By tomorrow afternoon, I should be able to use up all the thunderbolt power."

Vitality: 28.88

Xu Zhiming was very satisfied. His vitality was already improving at an excellent rate.

It had increased by more than 0.5 in four hours.

In the past, 0.5 vitality would have been enough to take him three or four months to gain.

Xu Zhiming was already very satisfied with this improvement.

Over these past two days, he had focused mainly on Coiling Dragon Surging Waves and Rolling Heavenly Thunder.

Rolling Heavenly Thunder improved his Vitality Quality and made him more powerful in battle, while Coiling Dragon Surging Waves enriched his combat methods.

It was another afternoon.

Meng Tian finished testing his vitality.

"Your vitality is 19.03, an increase of 0.3 from the last test."

Crackle.

Meng Tian smacked his numb head, then turned and saw Xu Zhiming still practicing Coiling Dragon Surging Waves.

He asked somewhat doubtfully.

"Brother Xu, aren't you going to comprehend Rolling Heavenly Thunder today?"

Xu Zhiming shook his head, his hands never stopping.

"I am. The thunderbolt power inside probably won't last three hours. I'll go a little later."

Meng Tian's eyes widened, and he was deeply shocked.

If he remembered correctly, Xu Zhiming had only practiced for three days.

Three days to exhaust all the power inside a C-class Visualization Diagram.

An ordinary Level 15 martial artist would need six or seven days to exhaust all the power inside.

Even if Xu Zhiming had reached the Wind Thunder Fist Sixth Level and possessed relatively strong thunderbolt resistance, this speed was still a little too fast.

It was enough to show just how crazily Xu Zhiming cultivated.

One had to know that Level 15 martial artists had at least seventy or eighty points of vitality.

They also cultivated Martial Dao Visualization Charts, and their Vitality Quality had improved as well.

Yet none of them could manage it within seven days.

Meng Tian sighed in amazement inwardly.

Madness.

If word got out, perhaps even a Level 40 martial artist from Wind Thunder Martial Hall would want to take Xu Zhiming as a disciple.

Level 40?

Meng Tian sneered inwardly. They really underestimated Brother Xu.

He remembered that the one who came to replenish the thunderbolt power in the Visualization Diagram was a Level 40 martial artist from a major city.

He greatly anticipated the expression on that Level 40 martial artist's face when he learned that someone had exhausted the power in a C-class Visualization Diagram in three days.

Just thinking about it made Meng Tian feel amused.

An hour later.

Xu Zhiming left and headed toward the Secret Chamber.

Meng Tian continued practicing the Wind Thunder Fist. Today, he could practice for another two hours at most.

He was too tired. Every day, his scalp went numb. He almost felt like his two little brothers had been electrocuted shorter.

Once he broke through the shackles in his bloodline, his body would grow stronger, so it probably would not affect him much.

Two hours later.

Meng Tian dragged his exhausted body to the hall master's office.

Knock, knock, knock...

"Come in."

Meng Tian pushed the door open and entered. He dropped into a chair and let out a long breath.

"Hall Master Li, how long did it take you to comprehend the cultivation method for Rolling Heavenly Thunder?"

Li Tianjian was stunned when he heard that. What did he mean by asking that?

"Twice in total. All told, it took exactly six days."

Meng Tian curled his lip.

Sure enough, without comparison, there was no harm.

They were both Grade C aptitude, yet Xu Zhiming had comprehended how to cultivate Rolling Heavenly Thunder in two days.

Without comprehending how to cultivate it, the power inside Rolling Heavenly Thunder would still drain rather slowly.

Only by drawing forth the thunderbolt to temper one's vitality would its consumption greatly accelerate.

Of course.

He had tried using Rolling Heavenly Thunder to temper his vitality, but it had very little effect on him.

After his vitality rose to eighteen points, it could no longer improve.

Having a bloodline had its benefits, but it also had its drawbacks.

Once the shackles within were broken and the bloodline awakened, his Vitality Quality would far surpass that of martial artists at the same level.

But if he could not break through?

Then it would become the story of Fang Zhongyong.

"Does Young Master Meng have something he wants to say?"

Meng Tian leaned back in his chair and rubbed the scar on his face.

"Brother Xu probably comprehended how to cultivate Rolling Heavenly Thunder yesterday, barring any surprises."

"Of course, I'm more inclined to believe that he had already finished the day before yesterday."

The pen in Li Tianjian's hand shattered, and white plastic fragments flew out.

His eyes widened, and he could not help asking.

"Really? How could it be so fast?"

At that moment, Li Tianjian very much wanted to run to the Secret Chamber and ask Xu Zhiming whether it was true.

Besides managing the Martial Hall, the hall masters of Wind Thunder Martial Hall could also discover promising talents for it.

If Xu Zhiming had truly comprehended Rolling Heavenly Thunder within four hours.

He had to report it.

"I wonder whether Xu Zhiming can comprehend a more profound fist technique from those three opportunities to observe fist technique demonstrations."

Meng Tian frowned. What did that mean?

Three opportunities to observe fist technique demonstrations?

"Hall Master Li, what the hell kind of riddle are you playing? Hurry up and tell me what's going on."

Li Tianjian tossed the crushed pen in his hand onto the floor, then casually threw it into the trash can.

"This is a secret of our Wind Thunder Martial Hall."
