Thunderous Nether Vine, Ultimate Move Activated

Even if this bamboo shoot was truly the Hundred Year Thunderous Nether Vine he had anticipated.

His Martial Soul was a combination of Sikong Zhen and the Storm Dragon King.

It belonged to the kings among lightning-attribute Martial Souls.

It possessed an innate suppression over lightning-attribute Soul Rings.

Coupled with his enhanced physique, Su Ze had sufficient confidence.

Thinking of this, Su Ze sat cross-legged and began to prepare to absorb this 300-Year Soul Ring.

Seeing Su Ze's actions, Director Liu thought for a moment and did not continue to persuade him.

After all, Su Ze had already made his own decision.

As an outsider, the only thing he could do now was to believe.

Seeing that Director Liu did not speak, the other teachers who had followed along naturally did not say anything either.

The group began to surround Su Ze to act as guardians.

On Su Zhe's side, as the Soul Ring was being absorbed, the Sikong Zhen Martial Soul within his body began to stir.

Su Ze's cross-legged posture began to float involuntarily.

His original black hair transformed into white hair.

White lightning began to guard Su Zhe's surroundings.

Looking at Su Ze, who was guarded by lightning before them, the eyes of the surrounding teachers were filled with envy.

Although they did not know exactly what Su Ze's Martial Soul was, looking at the powerful lightning surrounding him, it was clearly extraordinary.

Director Liu looked at Su Ze's appearance and breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

The more powerful Su Ze's Martial Soul was, the greater the possibility of successfully absorbing the 300-Year Soul Ring.

Time passed bit by bit.

Finally, under the gaze of everyone, a deep yellow Soul Ring fully formed on Su Ze, who was guarded by the lightning.

At the moment the Soul Ring formed, Su Ze's Soul Power broke through directly from level 10 to level 13 in one go.

More importantly, his Sikong Zhen Martial Soul had been thoroughly activated.

It could be put this way.

Up until this moment, the Martial Soul Su Ze awakened could only be considered to have the form of Sikong Zhen.

But now, after absorbing the century-old Thunderous Nether Vine, he could finally be considered to have initially unlocked the Sikong Zhen Martial Soul.

He gained a Sikong Zhen skill.

However, because he was still very weak at the moment, he could only choose one of Sikong Zhen's three skills.

Naturally, Su Ze chose the one with the greatest power: his ultimate move.

Thunderous Force!

Following this, every time he underwent body strengthening or gained an improvement from a Soul Ring, he would be able to upgrade a Sikong Zhen skill.

According to Su Ze's understanding, this was equivalent to gaining a skill point.

This situation made Su Zhe even more determined to acquire Immortal Herbs in the future.

After all, the improvement Immortal Herbs provided to the body was immense.

It could be said that every single Immortal Herb might grant him one skill point.

Beyond awakening Sikong Zhen's ultimate move, Su Ze gained clarity on the conditions for unleashing it.

The first method was to consume his own Soul Power.

Currently, to activate Thunderous Force, it would cost him at least one-third of his Soul Power.

The duration would be approximately one minute.

The second method was extremely unique: if it were a stormy day, Su Ze could leverage the special environment of the weather to activate his ultimate move directly without consuming any Soul Power.

The third method was a variation of the second.

During ordinary times, Su Ze could accumulate Lightning Power within his body.

When the time comes, he can rely on the accumulated Lightning Power to unleash an Ultimate Move.

Currently, he can only do it once.

Later, as Su Ze's Soul Power increases, he will be able to accumulate many more charges.

Su Zhe was quite satisfied with his current Sikong Zhen Martial Soul. After all, the unlocking of Sikong Zhen's skills did not count toward the limits of his Soul Rings.

In other words, he had gained an extra skill this time.

The 300-year-old Lightning Hell Vine.

It gave him a skill called Lightning Summon.

As the name suggests, Su Ze can summon lightning to strike down.

Of course, this lightning involves summoning individual bolts of lightning.

It does not require the kind of extreme, harsh weather that Su Ze would otherwise need.

Still, it was good enough; the falling lightning could help Su Ze enhance the power of his Ultimate Move, Thunderous Force.

After organizing the status of his awakened Martial Soul in his mind, Su Zhe slowly opened his eyes.

Immediately, Director Liu rushed over with a joyful expression on his face.

His investment had truly paid off.

Su Ze, this genius youth, not only possessed a top-tier Lightning Attribute Martial Soul, but his first Soul Ring was also from a 300-year-old Soul Beast.

This not only indicated that Su Zhe's own body strength was extraordinary, but it also meant that Su Ze's path in the future would be much smoother.

Thinking of the rewards he would receive in the future, Director Liu felt like an investor who had bet on a speculative stock.

He was incredibly excited.

"How is it? Su Ze, what Soul Skill did you obtain?"

Looking at the excited expression on Director Liu's face in front of him.

Su Ze felt a stir in his heart. As an adult, he knew exactly why Director Liu was going to such great lengths to help him.

Naturally, it was for the sake of his future prospects.

And if he wanted Director Liu to continue helping him with even more dedication in the future, he needed to demonstrate his value now.

Thinking of this, Su Ze glanced at the harsh weather of Thunder Gorge.

The environment of Thunder Gorge was formed under special conditions, which perfectly matched the severe weather required for Su Ze to activate his Ultimate Move.

He would take this opportunity to show his investor, Director Liu, his true value.

At the same time, he could test the power of his Ultimate Move.

"Director Liu, let me show you my new Soul Skill."

As he spoke, Su Ze walked past Director Liu and the old building, arriving at an open area.

Watching Su Ze in the distance, not only Director Liu but also the teachers responsible for their protection looked at him with curious eyes.

They also wanted to see the new Soul Skill this genius youth had acquired.

Su Ze stood in the center of the forest, watching the lightning constantly falling from the sky.

He took a deep breath.

After all, according to the information on the Sikong Zhen Martial Soul in his mind, he had to recite a line from Sikong Zhen when activating his Ultimate Move.

Following the memory of Sikong Zhen's lines in his mind, Su Ze slowly raised his right hand, palm facing the sky. His voice pierced through the thunderstorm and echoed across the gorge:

"With thunder!"

The moment Su Ze's words fell, the entire Thunder Gorge began to surge violently, as if responding to a call.

"Shatter the darkness with thunder!"

As the full phrase rang out, the lightning in the sky crashed down, instantly pouring into Su Ze's body.

Su Ze's black hair transformed into silver-white amidst the lightning.

His shirt turned to shreds under the violent energy, revealing a strong upper body sculpted by training.

Lines of thunder patterns automatically emerged on his back, spreading to his arms like an ancient deity totem.

"This is..." Director Liu's pupils constricted, his eyes filled with shock.

He had never seen a First Soul Skill with a Soul Ring like this before.

The teachers around him also wore expressions of shock.

At this moment, within a ten-foot radius of Su Ze, fine electric snakes slithered around his body.

His feet slowly left the ground, hovering three feet in the air, while blinding lightning erupted from his eyes.

"Heavenly Wrath is the sharp sword hanging high above the four of you."

Su Ze's voice carried the echo of thunder.

At this moment, his tone had shifted from the initial sense of shame to excitement.

Because he realized that with every line he shouted, the Lightning Power within his body increased.

If he shouted a few more times, he would be able to accumulate enough energy for his next ultimate move, Thunderous Force.

As soon as his voice fell, a pale bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket crashed down, shattering a giant rock not far away into pieces.

Before the flying crushed stones could even hit the ground, they were turned into powder by the surrounding electric net.

Director Liu, curious, wanted to take a closer look, but the moment he stepped into the range, a bolt of lightning struck down right in front of him.

The violent impact force sent him flying backward, his short hair standing straight up on end.

Yet, he paid no mind to his disheveled state, staring fixedly at the youngster in the center of the thunderstorm, his eyes exploding with a look of ecstasy.

At this moment, Su Ze appeared like a god of lightning descended upon the world.
