On a bright and sunny day, sunlight shone brilliantly over the harbor. People bustled about their work while ships traveled across the sea, creating a scene of thriving activity.
Suddenly, a streak of electricity tore through the sky and appeared above the harbor like lightning.
The electric man wore a black mask over his head and a sleek black bodysuit. Dazzling electricity radiated from his entire body. He was tall and well-built, with smooth yet powerful muscles that displayed his unparalleled combat prowess.
"An unidentified life-form is above the harbor."
"An unidentified life-form is above the harbor."
"An unidentified life-form is above the harbor."
Alarms rang throughout the harbor, and red warning lights immediately began flashing.
The electric man's appearance instantly threw the harbor into chaos. Ordinary workers scattered for cover, afraid of being caught up in the conflict.
Flickering arcs of electricity surrounded the electric man's body, as though he were the embodiment of electrical energy itself. This unique ability granted him extraordinary speed and formidable offensive power in battle. "Let you test the results of my training over the past month."
Time rewound to several days before he was due to leave the Dragon Nation last month.
The electric man sat cross-legged at the center of the training ground, brilliant electricity crackling around him. His face twisted into a fierce expression as he trained the power he unleashed at full force.
Just then, a leisurely voice sounded. "Release all your power, then go all out." The voice caught the electric man's attention, and he looked toward its source.
Master Zhen Yuanzhai appeared silently before the electric man. Dressed simply, he had a wise countenance and exuded an awe-inspiring presence.
"Such a method may be fierce, but what is too rigid breaks easily." Master Zhen Yuanzhai spoke slowly, his tone calm and profound.
The electric man's heart stirred. He knew Master Zhen Yuanzhai had something to say, so he listened quietly.
Master Zhen Yuanzhai said, "Your power comes from within, not merely from external stimulation and explosive outbursts. Only by finding true strength deep in your heart can you keep fighting for long."
The electric man seemed to gain some insight and understood Master Zhen Yuanzhai's meaning. His strength should not simply depend on outward firepower; he needed to draw true power from within.
Master Zhen Yuanzhai continued, "An explosive release of power may look imposing, but at crucial moments, pursuing full firepower too much often brings the drawback of breaking easily. It is like a paper candle. Though its flame burns fiercely, the slightest breeze will extinguish it."
He paused, then continued, "Consolidate the Foundation and Cultivate the Origin means gathering power within yourself and reaching a state of careful preservation and control through restraint and meditation. This method of training can develop your power on a deeper level and make your attacks more precise and enduring."
The electric man focused on every word Master Zhen Yuanzhai said, and a feeling of enlightenment arose within him. He gradually understood the importance of Consolidate the Foundation and Cultivate the Origin. He knew he needed to train more deeply and take control of his power from the inside out.
Master Zhen Yuanzhai stroked his beard and continued, "While practicing Consolidate the Foundation and Cultivate the Origin, you must learn introspection and meditation. Unite your mind and body, carefully nurture your inner energy, and regulate your state through breathing and concentration. This way, your power will be released more fully and steadily."
The electric man closed his eyes and began using the method Master Zhen Yuanzhai had taught him, immersing himself in self-cultivation. He felt the energy flowing through his body and brought his thoughts and body into a state of balance and harmony.
Time passed in silence, and the electric man gradually gained a deeper understanding of Consolidate the Foundation and Cultivate the Origin. He understood that true strength did not come from external fury and blazing heat, but from inner stability and resilience.
When he opened his eyes again, the electricity radiating from his body was even brighter, filled with inner strength. He could feel that he had entered a new realm, one closer to true power.
The electric man bowed to Master Zhen Yuanzhai in gratitude and respect. He resolved to incorporate the teachings of Consolidate the Foundation and Cultivate the Origin into his combat techniques in future battles, meeting challenges in a more perfect state.
Master Zhen Yuanzhai wore the expression of a teacher pleased that his student could be taught. "Your power is already formidable, but you must learn how to wield it instead of being driven by it." Master Zhen Yuanzhai smiled and patted the electric man's shoulder. "Cultivation is a long road. Keep working hard. I believe you will become even stronger."
Time returned to the present.
The electric man was now like walking thunder. He darted through the harbor like lightning, using his extraordinary speed and agility to evade the attacks of the Nest Organization soldiers.
When the Nest Organization soldiers saw the electric man arrive, they immediately prepared for battle. Wielding advanced weapons, they fired at him aggressively, trying to kill him.
"Kill him! Don't let him get near the core area!" a Nest Organization commander shouted.
However, the electric man's movements were incredibly swift, and he easily evaded every shot. He became a bolt of lightning, weaving among the enemies and leaving them helpless.
Powerful energy gathered in the electric man's fists, forming a massive energy sphere. He aimed at the Nest Organization's defensive line and waved his hand, launching the sphere toward the enemy.
"Ah!" A Nest Organization soldier cried out as the energy sphere struck him directly, reducing his body to ashes.
The other soldiers shifted their attention and tried to join forces to withstand the electric man's assault. Yet he did not retreat in the slightest. His figure flashed like lightning, seeming to be everywhere at once.
He suddenly appeared beside a soldier and delivered a flying kick, sending the man flying. Immediately afterward, he spun and knocked another soldier down with a side kick.
The electric man's fighting style was exceptionally unique. Using rapid moves and precise attacks, he swiftly defeated batch after batch of Nest Organization soldiers. But as time passed, the enemy gradually realized his weakness.
"His attacks are too fast for us to block! Concentrate fire and attack his openings together!" the commander ordered.
The Nest Organization soldiers began firing densely, attempting to find an opening in the electric man's defenses.
"You think a blanket barrage will work?"
The electric man extended his right hand, pushed forward, and gave a shake. In an instant, lightning energy erupted from his body, and every incoming bullet fell to the ground.
"Th-This! What kind of power is this?!" The commander was horrified.
The electric man gathered energy once more and used electrically enhanced speed to weave through the enemy ranks, easily avoiding their attacks.
At last, he condensed a massive sphere of electrical energy, filled with destructive power. Raising his hand high, he hurled it fiercely toward the Nest Organization's core area.
The energy sphere flew like lightning, tearing through the sky before instantly crashing into the Nest Organization's defensive line. With a thunderous boom, the entire harbor was rocked by the energy shockwave.
Buildings throughout the harbor collapsed one after another. Nest Organization soldiers suffered devastating casualties, utterly crushed by the explosion of the electrical energy sphere.
Clang, clang, clang, clang...
Four sharp blade sounds closed in as four Vipers rapidly approached the electric man.
"That won't do." Nathan Hawke raised his right index finger.
"Hm?" The four Vipers froze in midair.
Splat, splat, splat, splat...
The electric man condensed electrical beams and pierced through the four Vipers who had been suspended in midair by Nathan Hawke.
"Who are you, sir?" Dragon, the leader of the Vipers, appeared before Nathan Hawke and the electric man, his gaze revealing coldness and composure.
Through his telekinetic senses, Nathan Hawke discovered more Vipers hidden nearby. He said to the electric man, "I'll deal with the ones hiding in the shadows. If you're in danger, fly into the air."
Dragon wore a black cloak and a black bodysuit. His upper body was clad in a long-sleeved black shirt, while his lower body wore tight black pants. A red diagonal stripe across his shirt created a striking contrast. Dragon also wore black gloves adorned with golden metal decorations, giving off a solid and imposing impression. His shoes were black as well, simple and practical in design.
Dragon watched the two of them, neither showing any intention of answering him.
Dragon flashed before the electric man, his hands shaped into claws as he viciously grabbed at him. The electric man nimbly dodged, his body streaking away like lightning.
Dragon was not discouraged. With a shift of his body, he turned into a black shadow and pounced toward the electric man. He was so fast that his figure was nearly impossible to catch.
A trace of vigilance flashed in the electric man's eyes. He knew Dragon was extremely fast and could not let his guard down. He focused his mind and mobilized the electrical energy throughout his body, forming a barrier of electric arcs to block Dragon's attack.
Dragon's fists were like a beast's claws as they struck the electric arc barrier in an instant. Electricity flashed, and Dragon's attack was stopped by the barrier's powerful electrical energy.
Seizing the opportunity, the electric man counterattacked. He rapidly closed in on Dragon and threw a powerful straight punch. Electricity erupted and struck Dragon's body with a dull impact.
Dragon was sent flying backward by the electric man's punch. Yet he quickly steadied himself, his expression still cold and showing not the slightest sign of pain.
Dragon advanced again, moving like a black shadow through the ruins. Sometimes he dodged the electric man's attacks, and sometimes he swiftly closed in, attempting to engage him in close combat. He used a unique boxing style, turning his moves into sharp blades and launching lightning-fast attacks at the electric man's vital points.
The electric man did not yield. He used his extraordinary speed and the power of electricity to resist Dragon's offensive. At times, he flashed like lightning; at others, he transformed into an electric arc and moved through the air, trying to break free from Dragon's pursuit. Powerful electrical energy gathered in his fists, and every punch contained destructive force. If one landed, it would surely inflict astonishing damage.
Dragon's movements were vigorous and agile, leaving almost no openings. He cleverly evaded every attack. Meanwhile, the electric man used his extraordinary speed to repeatedly try closing in on Dragon, searching for an opportunity to defeat him in one strike.
"Your boxing is good, but it is not enough to defeat me," Dragon said coldly, cruel light gleaming in his eyes.
"Hmph." The electric man snorted. He had only studied under Master Zhen Yuanzhai for a month.
