Heaven's Thunderbolt

Realizing the wonders of Blue Star Thunder, Lu Li certainly wouldn't leave easily.

He stayed in the center of the dark clouds, letting the lightning wash over him.

Lightning bolts struck the Demon Dragon repeatedly, sending sparks flying everywhere.

Each of these can release hundreds of millions of volts, instantly turning an ordinary person into charcoal.

But it meant nothing to Lu Li; he could withstand it simply by relying on his mental strength.

What is truly difficult to withstand is the "will of heaven and earth" contained within lightning.

This immense and relentless planetary will can penetrate the dual protection of the mind and the biological realm, directly affecting the Divine Soul.

Each time Lu Li was struck by lightning, he felt as if his head was being smashed by a hammer, filled with dizziness, a booming sound, and a tearing, throbbing pain.

Moreover, lightning shows no mercy; it strikes down relentlessly, and Lu Li suddenly feels like he's become a piece of stubborn iron, being repeatedly forged by countless hammers.

This feeling was quite unpleasant, but it was also accompanied by a strange sense of pleasure.

Just like getting up and moving around after sitting for a long time, Divine Soul feels a vague sense of comfort...

Lu Li immediately realized that the "lightning strike" he was currently experiencing was an excellent way to Spirit Refinement!

The continuous lightning strikes were like a blacksmith's hammer repeatedly forging the Divine Soul, making it stronger!

Since he wouldn't die anytime soon, Lu Li simply stood there in the center of the dark clouds, letting the heavenly lightning strike him.

In the dark clouds, sparks of electricity crackled from the body of a massive three-headed Demon Dragon, which grimaced in pain.

But as time passed, the Demon Dragon gradually adapted, and its reaction to being struck by lightning became less and less intense.

Ten minutes later, no matter how much lightning ravaged the Demon Dragon, it remained calm and completely ignored it.

The two were one, and Lu Li naturally adapted to the forging of lightning.

At this moment, he felt that the pain brought by the thunder had lessened by at least half, and was replaced by a feeling of comfort.

The lightning strike felt like a full-body massage, with a particularly strong force that brought both pain and pleasure.

Lu Li hummed comfortably twice, but suddenly felt that "scratching an itch through a boot" wasn't enough, so he wanted to disperse his mental image and Indestructible Will, and let his Divine Soul directly face the thunder.

The moment that suicidal thought crossed Lu Li's mind, he jolted awake and snapped back to reality.

He was suddenly shocked to realize that his own Divine Soul had become somewhat transparent, at least 30% thinner!

The will of heaven and earth contained in thunder can Spirit Refinement, but it can also wear Divine Soul down, causing an effect similar to "brain hypoxia," affecting thinking and leading to incorrect judgments.

"Although the lightning on Blue Star is weak, it still contains the will of heaven and earth and should not be underestimated."

Lu Li dared not linger any longer and quickly rode his mental form out of the thunderstorm clouds, flying back to his physical body.

With his Divine Soul his body, Lu Li opened his eyes, his gaze slightly dim and his face somewhat pale, clearly indicating that he had been injured.

But a hint of joy shone in his expression, because the injury he had suffered was not in vain.

At this moment, my Divine Soul felt both exhausted and exhilarated, as if I had just finished exercising.

This is precisely because the Divine Soul has been tempered by the will of heaven and earth, greatly increasing its strength.

The most obvious manifestation of this is that the size of the heart has grown from 180 meters to 185 meters.

Of course, with the Kunlun Mirror, any improvement in cultivation level is merely icing on the cake.

The most crucial significance of Blue Star Thunder lies in its role as a "preview".

Using relatively mild lightning as a transition, adaptation, and benchmark will inevitably increase the success rate of a true lightning tribulation.

Lu Li confidently calculated:

"After a few more rounds of refinement, I'll be able to withstand the lightning of Blue Star with just my Divine Soul. At that point, I'll have at least the strength of a 'half-step lightning tribulation.' Returning to the other world to undergo tribulation will definitely be a piece of cake!"

This is a preliminary plan; we'll need to experience the thunder from another world to make a more concrete judgment.

Feeling Divine Soul exhausted, Lu Li returned to the manor to recuperate.

It just so happens that the two foreign women should have prepared a big meal by now.

~~~~~~~~~~~

When Lu Li returned, Jessica and Teresa had just served the dishes.

The meal included onion and black pepper beef, honey-glazed roasted chicken, and cheese-roasted asparagus, among other dishes—a rather sumptuous spread.

Lu Li was also hungry, so he sat down at the table with the two of them and started eating.

"Excellent, the meat is very flavorful, and the cooking time is just right."

Lu Li praised the meat while stuffing large chunks into his mouth to replenish his energy.

Fortunately, the two foreigners made a lot of food, otherwise he could have cleared the table by himself.

Teresa had eaten breakfast before arriving, took a small bite to make sure there was no problem, and then put down her knife and fork and stopped eating.

Strict dietary habits were ingrained in her bones; she could only watch Lu Li and Jessica ate heartily.

Jessica, who had been without internet for over half a year, was now scrolling through her phone while eating and said:

"Starting this morning, I've been receiving some strange push notifications, all praising our Star Alliance Country, saying things like they dominate the global economy and are leaders in technological development."

"There's also the heartwarming daily life of Star Alliance Country citizens, and some Star Alliance Country broadcasters who can speak Xia Language."

Jessica said to Lu Li:

"Darling, this must have been a deliberate arrangement by the Star Alliance Country, an attempt to subtly influence you."

"It's useless."

Lu Li swallowed his food and said nonchalantly:

"A few tricks won't change its fate of destruction. I'll set off tomorrow, first to Florida."

Florida, part of the Star Alliance Country, suffers from frequent thunderstorms and also has several major cities and military bases, making it a win-win situation.

Lu Li continued:

"As for what's being said online about the Star Alliance Country having some kind of behind-the-scenes manipulator, I can't be bothered with it. All I need to do is destroy all the major cities and the military of that country."

Jessica smiled and said, "Without soil, even the most resilient plant cannot survive."

"That's right, that's exactly it."

Lu Li nodded. As the saying goes, "Cut the weeds and remove the roots." If you eliminate the foundation for its existence, it will slowly rot and die.

When this topic came up, Teresa felt a sense of magic.

The young man before me is about to unleash world-destroying power to destroy the most powerful empire... This kind of plot seems like a fantasy, yet it actually happened.

At this moment, Jessica said:

"By the way, Teresa got a lot of tattoos to rebel against her mother's arrangements. Could you help remove them?"

"Oh? Let me see."

Lu Li looked at Teresa, Teresa didn't hesitate. She gracefully stood up and took off her clothes, revealing her full-body tattoos and a captivating fragrance.

"Um..."

Lu Li glanced at it, then reached out and touched the red pattern on her lower abdomen, saying with interest:

"It can be removed. Let's go to your room and I'll do it for you."

Teresa touched the tattoo herself and chuckled, "If you like it, I don't mind keeping it."

"I feel there's a unique sexiness and charm about her, quite different from your usual style..."

No one could have imagined that such a thing would be found on a noble and elegant Canary, which is why Lu Li found it interesting.

But he didn't want to force them, so he asked again, "Is it alright to keep it?"

"It's fine as long as you like it."

Teresa acted impulsively in a fit of anger, and it was a pleasant surprise that she won Lu Li's favor.

After finishing his meal in a few bites, Lu Li went to the bedroom with the two foreign women to arrange everything before leaving.
