"Under normal circumstances, I can't tell outsiders."
Meng Tian raised an eyebrow, instantly displeased.
Just because he and Xu Zhiming were easy to talk to did not mean everyone else was.
Seeing Meng Tian's displeasure, Li Tianjian hurriedly spoke up.
"But if Young Master Meng wants to know, I can bend the rules a little."
Meng Tian's brows relaxed. Now that was something he liked to hear.
"Go on."
Li Tianjian unscrewed the teacup lid, took a shallow sip, and cleared his throat.
"C-grade Rolling Heavenly Thunder has already come close to touching the core of our Wind Thunder Martial Hall."
"Young Master Meng should know that True King Wind Thunder was Great Xia's only powerhouse who, in the truest sense, fought his way up from hundreds of millions of ordinary people."
Meng Tian nodded.
Of course he knew. Anyone who had gone through Nine-Year Compulsory Education knew that.
Was this doubting whether he had gone through Nine-Year Compulsory Education?
"Continue."
"His Majesty the True King knew how difficult it was to climb from the bottom to a higher level."
"So when he had the higher-ups of the Martial Hall create the Martial Dao Visualization Charts, he left behind an even more powerful martial skill derived from the Wind Thunder Fist—an A-grade Martial Skill."
Meng Tian shot to his feet.
His heart was shaken.
"An A-grade Martial Skill? You mean the Heavenly Thunder Fist that goes with the complete version of Rolling Heavenly Thunder?"
Li Tianjian nodded.
He was very satisfied with Meng Tian's reaction.
He had been equally stunned when he first learned this news.
So what if someone possessed True King bloodline?
Wasn't he still just as inexperienced as Li Tianjian?
Meng Tian clicked his tongue, his admiration for True King Wind Thunder deepening another layer.
An A-grade Martial Skill was True King Wind Thunder's signature martial skill.
To actually place a martial skill of this level inside a Visualization Diagram—what grand magnanimity.
No wonder True King Wind Thunder was a True King level powerhouse.
"Then why didn't I discover any trace of an A-grade Martial Skill when I used C-grade Rolling Heavenly Thunder to temper my vitality twice?"
Li Tianjian coughed awkwardly.
"Young Master Meng, when the final thunderbolt energy was about to dissipate, did that remaining bit of thunderbolt energy start dancing wildly?"
Meng Tian nodded.
"That wasn't an electrical leak..."
Meng Tian tactically lowered his head and said no more.
Damn it. Someone had given him an opportunity, yet he himself had failed to seize it.
No.
Why hadn't they told him in advance?
If he had known that the current which looked like an electrical leak was an A-grade Martial Skill, he would have stared at it a few more times no matter what.
Meng Tian changed the subject.
"Is there any way to see whether Brother Xu has comprehended it?"
Li Tianjian nodded.
"In principle, there isn't."
Meng Tian raised an eyebrow.
Damn it, the Wind Thunder Martial Hall was really devious.
But it would not be spread around today.
"Quick, turn on the camera. Let's take a look."
Li Tianjian nodded.
"Young Master Meng, you mustn't tell anyone else. This is a secret of the Wind Thunder Martial Hall."
"Once the Visualization Diagram's final power is activated, the camera will automatically turn on."
Meng Tian sat down in front of Li Tianjian, having already forgotten why he had come.
An A-grade Martial Skill—who would think that thing that looked like an electrical leak was a martial skill?
He wanted to see whether Xu Zhiming could comprehend it.
"Hall Master Li, has anyone in your Wind Thunder Martial Hall ever comprehended anything from that electrical-leak current?"
Li Tianjian narrowed his eyes slightly as a flood of information surfaced in his mind.
"Yes. Many people who joined the Wind Thunder Martial Hall have comprehended something from it."
"Roughly several dozen every year."
Meng Tian raised an eyebrow.
Several dozen every year? The Wind Thunder Martial Hall was that powerful? How had he not known?
Level Nine Martial Artists could comprehend something from that cluster of dancing current.
He did not believe it.
If the Wind Thunder Martial Hall had that many geniuses, humanity would have long since dominated all races.
"What realms are they all in?"
Li Tianjian could not help laughing aloud.
"They're generally martial artists above Level Thirty, and they've cultivated several of the Wind Thunder Martial Hall's other methods for many years."
Meng Tian cast Li Tianjian a cold glance. He seriously suspected Li Tianjian had done that on purpose.
"Do many Level Nines comprehend it?"
Li Tianjian thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"I don't know. Under normal circumstances, it's difficult to tell whether someone has comprehended anything."
Suddenly.
Both men were drawn to the computer screen.
A figure appeared on it, along with continuously dancing currents.
On the screen, Xu Zhiming stared blankly at the dancing thunderbolt, utterly motionless.
Li Tianjian suddenly understood. Even with an A-grade Martial Skill placed before him, Xu Zhiming did not recognize its worth.
"Xu Zhiming's reaction is the same as mine. He's completely dazed."
"He probably gained nothing either. After all, it's an A-grade Martial Skill. No one can understand it after watching it twice."
Meng Tian was somewhat displeased upon hearing that.
This old man really thought everyone had poor comprehension like him?
"What if Brother Xu has already attained enlightenment while watching that thunderbolt that looks like an electrical leak?"
As a friend acknowledged by Meng Tian, Xu Zhiming naturally could not be belittled by others.
Though even Meng Tian himself was not entirely confident when he said that.
Li Tianjian shook his head and smiled faintly.
How could he fail to understand this reaction?
Many people looked this blank and stunned the first time they tried to comprehend an A-grade Martial Skill from a Visualization Diagram.
Both having C-grade aptitude, he fully understood Xu Zhiming's bewilderment at this moment.
Inside the Training Room.
Xu Zhiming wiped the sweat from his forehead, his gaze falling upon the humanoid light spot.
A small remnant of thunderbolt energy remained within it.
He performed the Wind Thunder Fist, preparing to draw out the final trace of power within and enjoy one last round of thunderbolt tempering.
The light spot dimmed greatly, and the lighting in the Training Room instantly darkened.
The next second.
Xu Zhiming saw wisps of white thunderbolt power flowing out from within the light spot, slowly dancing.
He froze.
What was going on?
"An electrical leak?"
Staring blankly at the thunderbolt, he felt that this dancing current seemed a little different.
The dancing thunderbolt seemed somewhat like the Wind Thunder Fist?
You diligently watched the A-grade Heavenly Thunder Fist once, triggering a 30x Critical Hit
A great deal of information suddenly appeared in his mind, and the Seventh Level of the Wind Thunder Fist no longer held any obscure points.
It was as though lubricant had been applied, making everything much smoother.
Xu Zhiming's expression turned solemn. He gathered every shred of his focus as the humanoid light spot dimmed.
The speed was a little fast. The light spot dimmed by another thirty percent.
The thunderbolt continued dancing.
Xu Zhiming stared at it without blinking.
At this moment, he had only one thought: he had to remember as much as possible.
From the look of it, he would have one more chance at the A-grade Martial Skill.
You diligently watched the A-grade Heavenly Thunder Fist once, gained an insight, triggering a 10x Critical Hit
At this point, the light spot had completely gone out. Only the dancing thunderbolt remained in the Training Room, providing faint points of light.
After absorbing the Critical Hit insights in his mind, Xu Zhiming slowly began performing the Wind Thunder Fist.
There were a few additional movements, precisely the movements he had comprehended from watching the Heavenly Thunder Fist.
In the darkness.
Perhaps because its power was about to be exhausted, the thunderbolt slowed as it performed the fist technique.
Xu Zhiming watched as he practiced, his eyes shining like stars.
He felt that this flashing thunderbolt was like a person's skeleton.
The skeleton supported the body, allowing the body to move.
Xu Zhiming seemed to sense something in his heart.
The Sixth Level of the Wind Thunder Fist tempered vitality. Could the Seventh Level be for tempering the bones?
Watching the thunderbolt dance more and more slowly, Xu Zhiming began comparing the differences between the two martial skills in his mind.
The Heavenly Thunder Fist had more movements and was more complex, but it also shared many similarities with the Wind Thunder Fist.
The movements he had comprehended surfaced in Xu Zhiming's mind, confirming his thoughts.
Crackle.
The electric arcs vanished.
The Training Room sank into darkness.
Xu Zhiming did not stop. He continued practicing the fist technique.
He could not see his body, nor could he tell whether his movements had become distorted.
Xu Zhiming simply closed his eyes. His vitality had not yet reached the level where he could see in the dark.
Having practiced the Wind Thunder Fist countless times, he could sense whether his movements had distorted even with his eyes closed.
You diligently watched the A-grade Heavenly Thunder Fist once, attempted to integrate the Wind Thunder Fist into it, gained an insight, triggering a 1000x Critical Hit The Wind Thunder Fist advanced, becoming a C-grade Martial Skill. It can temper vitality and bones, and improve aptitude Your aptitude has improved to a certain extent Your vitality has increased, and your Vitality Quality has improved, becoming twice that of an ordinary person
Xu Zhiming closed his eyes as the panel contents appeared in his mind.
Looking at the numbers above, Xu Zhiming could not have been more satisfied.
