Thunder and Lightning Secret Technique

Li Yilin opened his eyes, his face devoid of any expression.

To him, defeating an opponent of the same rank was not something worth celebrating.

He walked to the front desk, and just as he was about to buy himself a drink, his peripheral vision caught sight of Man Luo sitting in a chair.

A thought crossed his mind, and a flicker of hesitation flashed across his face, but it quickly hardened into determination.

He bought two drinks and walked over.

"Senior, here." He held out one of the drinks. Man Luo opened his eyes, lifting his wrinkled forehead as his cloudy eyes looked at him in silence.

"Senior?"

Li Yilin pushed his hand forward a bit more, wearing a smile that was neither servile nor overbearing.

Man Luo remained silent for a moment before taking the drink.

If it were an ordinary warrior trying to get close to him like this, he wouldn't have even bothered to acknowledge them.

But the drink Li Yilin had handed him was worth ten Hunyuan Units; it was clear he had something to ask.

A Domain Lord warrior who had earned the title of Giant Axe Warrior was, after all, a genius.

He was bored, and finding a little amusement wouldn't be a bad thing.

Seeing him accept the drink, Li Yilin grinned and sat down on the floor.

With one hand holding the drink and the other propped behind him, he leaned back slightly, head tilted up, his posture casual and relaxed, as if the person before him wasn't a lofty Immortal god, but merely an ordinary elder he wanted to be close to.

"Senior, my name is Li Yilin. May I ask you a question?" he said.

Man Luo blinked and said slowly, "Speak."

"Are the combat techniques and law insights of the opponents set in the Killing Space always perfect?" Li Yilin asked.

He hadn't been playing around in the Killing Space for the past three days; he had been verifying what he had learned. He had specified his opponents, requiring them to use the same secret techniques, weapons, and armor as himself, but in terms of the application of secret techniques and the control of weapons—

They reached a level of perfection.

Logically, against such an opponent, he should have had a fierce battle, or even been forced into a sorry state.

Yet, he always felt that the opponents generated were lacking something.

But he didn't know exactly what it was.

However, he did know that the opponents specified by the Killing Space were a grade lower than those specified when Senior Lei Xu Marquis guided him.

He wanted to know what the difference was.

He had a premonition that if he could figure out the reason, his strength would definitely be able to climb to the next level.

That was why he had come to find Man Luo.

"Perfect?" Man Luo turned his head, his cloudy eyes making it impossible to read his thoughts. He said indifferently, "Can you tell me what perfection is?"

Li Yilin was stunned.

Man Luo grinned, his eyes full of malice. "Kid, you have to know that there are permissions everywhere."

The opponents this kid set in the Killing Space were required to have 100 points in weapon control.

But the problem was, he himself also had 100 points.

Such an opponent was naturally not right.

Someone who scores 100 points is only invincible among their peers, but the reality is that some people can kill across ranks.

What do they rely on to kill across ranks?

Naturally, it is by providing a 150-point answer on a 100-point test.

The requirement seems unreasonable, but it is precisely because it is unreasonable that the term "genius" exists.

"If you want to resolve your doubts, it's very simple." Man Luo lowered his head slightly, looking into Li Yilin's black eyes, which were as clear and bright as the eternal starlight of the universe; time seemed to have left no trace in them.

Too clean!

As clean as a newborn baby.

Could someone with such clean eyes actually be a warrior who had earned the title of Domain Lord-level Giant Axe Warrior at the Giant Axe Arena?

Truly rare!

He wondered how long such eyes could last.

"Just join our Virtual Universe Company." Man Luo looked at him with a smile and said, "With your talent, you could definitely enter the core layer and receive the top-tier training of the Virtual Universe Company." Although it would only be the outermost edge of the core layer.

But the status of the Virtual Universe core layer was already a peak that many could not even hope to reach, let alone stand upon.

Unfortunately, Li Yilin was destined not to understand Man Luo's intentions.

He shook his head with unusual firmness. "I appreciate your high regard, Senior, but I am used to being free and do not wish to join any faction." At least for now, it was not appropriate.

The Virtual Universe was good, but it didn't suit him right now.

Sigh, one really shouldn't be too outstanding; everyone wants to be friends with him.

"That's a real pity!" Man Luo leaned back into his chair and closed his eyes once more.

Seeing him like this, Li Yilin exerted force on his wrist, shifting into a more steady posture. Leaning forward slightly with a perfectly measured, ingratiating smile on his face, he looked up at him and said, "Senior, can't you give this junior a few pointers?"

"I cannot tell you too much, but I can give you an answer regarding one point." Man Luo did not make things difficult for him; for the sake of the drink in his hand, he decided to offer a few words of guidance.

"The vocabulary of the Universal Language is finite. The different ways these words are combined give the Universal Language its myriad variations, allowing people to communicate with one another without obstruction.

"The comprehension of Law is like learning a language. Some people only learn the superficial phrases and can only manage to understand what is heard, while others learn the most fundamental, the most essential—" After finishing, Man Luo closed his eyes again, no longer looking at Li Yilin.

Li Yilin sat on the ground, appearing to listen intently, but his heart was filled with helplessness.

He naturally understood what Man Luo was talking about, as he was well-versed in the original plot.

In the original work, wasn't that exactly what Luo Feng did? After entering Chaos City and receiving guidance from the Zhenyan King, he began to analyze the 108 essences of the Space Law.

It wasn't that he didn't understand.

The problem was that he didn't have any secret techniques on hand to assist him in comprehending the essence of the Law.

No, that wasn't entirely true; he did have some.

Among the various secret techniques provided by the system check-ins, there were indeed contents regarding the essence of the Law, but these techniques were far too advanced, and the content within was inherently obscure and difficult to grasp.

Analyzing the essence of the Origin Law was far more difficult than mere comprehension; it was the ultimate test of one's enlightenment, temperament, and the depth of one's understanding of the Origin Law. Unless one was a peerless genius, it was hard to achieve anything.

His talent and enlightenment had improved significantly thanks to the Law Fruit, but his original aptitude was what it was. Even if it were boosted dozens or hundreds of times, it still wouldn't qualify him for the title of a peerless genius.

He could barely manage to learn the secret techniques, let alone peer through their obscure and incomprehensible content to analyze the most basic, the most essential things.

However—

Li Yilin suddenly thought of something. He hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully to Man Luo, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior. This junior has learned much.

Goodbye, Senior." After saying this, he vanished from the spot.

After he disappeared, Man Luo opened his eyes again, looking at the now-empty space with a thoughtful expression.

So hurried—did he already have an idea?

He shook his head secretly, no longer dwelling on it.

Li Yilin's consciousness withdrew from the Virtual Universe. He logged back in and returned to his permanent residence within the Virtual Universe.

Without pausing, he walked straight toward the study.

The spacious study was a full thousand square meters. Half of it was occupied by a massive bookshelf five meters high and over ten meters long, packed to the brim with various classics and secret techniques.

On the other side was a large desk five meters long. The desk faced the door, while its back was against a massive floor-to-ceiling window that extended to the corner. One only had to turn around to see the exquisite garden outside, as well as the giant fish tank placed in the corner of the outer wall—

Li Yilin strode to the desk, where two metal books, fifty centimeters long and thirty centimeters wide and high, were placed.

With a purple background and lightning patterns carved into the cover, the two large characters "Thunder and Lightning" were written in a sharp, clawing script. One could vaguely tell that the person who wrote these characters must have been an arrogant and unbridled figure.

On one side of the desk, there was a stack of metal books of the same size, over a meter high. They had identical covers, and the spines were labeled with numbers in the Universal Language; clearly, it was a complete set.

The Thunder and Lightning secret technique!

As his fingers brushed over the two characters, he could feel their spirit even through the Virtual Universe. Just those few characters revealed their extraordinary nature, and Li Yilin sighed.

Less than an hour after the Lei Xu Marquis finished guiding him, the secret technique had been sent to his residence in the Virtual Universe along with an email.

At the time, he had just finished the guidance and was busy deepening his comprehension of the Law and verifying what he had learned, so after accepting the technique, he had temporarily stored it in the study.

Man Luo's words had awakened him to the importance of analyzing the essence and the basics. Perhaps this set of Thunder and Lightning techniques could provide him with the answer.

He calmed his mind and opened the first page of the manual.
