"Understood."
Xu Jingming nodded at her words.
No longer paying attention to the wondrous sights around him, he sat cross-legged in the center of the spherical space.
He closed his eyes and sank his mind into his consciousness.
He began carefully recalling and activating the first level cultivation method of the Star Core Thunder Gang Body he had just inherited.
Before long, intricate Mental Strength circuits formed within his mind, and the Origin Energy inside his body began circulating slowly along specific paths.
It was mainly concentrated in his spine, the marrow cavities within the bones of his limbs, and deep within his internal organs.
A faint, almost imperceptible pulling sensation radiated from within his body, like parched earth yearning for rain.
"Teacher, Junior Brother is ready."
Sensing Xu Jingming's condition, Ye Li softly reported to the void.
"Good."
The Frost Crown Dominator's cool voice seemed to echo directly through this core space.
In the next instant, a change occurred.
There was no earth-shattering boom, nor any roar of erupting energy.
The translucent blue-violet lightning crystals that formed this spherical space—
Starting from the outermost edge, they began to dissolve, as slowly and steadily as ice melting in spring.
This was not melting in the physical sense. Rather, the absolute state of stillness was being lifted layer by layer.
The first crystal layer to come alive was the one farthest from Xu Jingming.
The instant its stillness was released, the Origin Thunder Gang within, once frozen like liquid sapphire—
Seemed like furious dragons suppressed for countless ages, suddenly granted the freedom to move!
Crackle—!!!
A deep, majestic peal of thunder exploded first within Xu Jingming's soul!
Even though only the outermost layer of Thunder Qi had awakened—
That pure, ancient fluctuation of lightning origin made every hair on his body
