Earth-Tier High-Rank Battle Skill: Hundred Thousand Thunder Method!

Shen Shihuang had also discovered that his Sign-in System did not require him to be at a specific location to trigger it; even if he forgot, the system would automatically sign in once he reached the designated spot.

Jianan Academy was a case in point. He was supposed to sign in there, but he had forgotten. As it turned out, the moment he stepped out of Jianan Academy, the system signed him in automatically.

In other words, even if he forgot to sign in one day, the system would simply perform an automated sign-in the moment he left the location.

This way, he didn't have to keep his mind entirely focused on the system.

What did you call this?

Convenience!

My system is truly worthy of the name.

After hearing Zi Yan's words, Shen Shihuang had not forgotten where the previous sign-in location was.

Thunder Mist Ravine.

As expected.

The system's voice followed: "Sign-in complete."

"Sign-in reward: Earth-tier High-grade Dou Technique: Hundred Thousand Thunder Method."

As the system's voice faded, a surge of brand-new information flooded into Shen Shihuang's mind. Although it was entirely new, the moment he truly grasped it, it felt as if he had known it all along and was merely recalling it.

It was truly profound.

This time, the sign-in reward was a Dou Technique.

An Earth-tier High-grade Dou Technique.

He had previously obtained an Earth-tier High-grade Dou Technique, the Brahma Dragon-Subduing Seal.

Unlike the Brahma Dragon-Subduing Seal, this Hundred Thousand Thunder Method was far more tyrannical.

Forging the body with thunder, controlling a hundred thousand bolts of lightning; when mastered, the hundred thousand bolts would coalesce into a seal capable of suppressing and killing any enemy in heaven or earth!

A hundred thousand bolts of lightning unleashed at once?

This is an Earth-tier High-grade Dou Technique?

Shen Shihuang was somewhat dumbfounded.

This seemed to deviate quite a bit from what he understood of Earth-tier Dou Techniques.

"Host, you must broaden your thinking and not let the scene before your eyes deceive you. Is an Earth-tier High-grade Dou Technique necessarily just an Earth-tier High-grade Dou Technique? Can it not grow?"

"Host, do you understand?"

Shen Shihuang suddenly realized: "You mean, this 'Hundred Thousand Thunder Method' can grow?"

System: "Since the host understands, where is the applause? If you understand, give me some applause!"

Shen Shihuang: "...!"

"Because the host's strength changes, the thunder you can withstand naturally changes as well, so the level of the Earth-tier High-grade Dou Technique is merely based on the limit of what the host can currently endure."

Shen Shihuang's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean by that?"

System: "Host, please figure it out for yourself."

Following that, the system's voice vanished completely. And as Shen Shihuang finished integrating the information for the "Hundred Thousand Thunder Method," he was left stunned!

What the hell, is this even a Dou Technique?

Whether it was the previous "Tyrant's Fury" or the "Brahma Dragon-Subduing Seal," they were all directly mastered and felt perfectly natural.

But this one was practically self-mutilation, if not outright suicide!

Forging the body with thunder—Shen Shihuang had thought it was just a figure of speech, but he hadn't expected it to literally mean forging his body with lightning.

To unleash the true power of this Dou Technique, Shen Shihuang would have to get struck by lightning!

Damn it!

Shen Shihuang pondered. Since it was a growth-type Dou Technique, it would only get stronger in the future. With the system, he wasn't worried about lacking powerful techniques, but the system didn't always provide Dou Techniques.

"A growth-type Dou Technique has a bright future; there is no reason not to cultivate it." Shen Shihuang looked up at the sky, where black clouds had completely obscured the sun, making the entire Thunder Mist Ravine as dim as night.

"Since we're here, it seems getting struck by lightning is unavoidable." Shen Shihuang sighed inwardly, circulating his Dou Qi according to the paths required by the "Hundred Thousand Thunder Method." He cleared the pathways completely; all that remained was to fill them with lightning.

It was very simple.

"Zi Yan, can you sense the opponent's location?" Shen Shihuang asked.

A look of confusion appeared in Zi Yan's eyes: "They were just there, but now they've vanished. Could it be?"

Gone?

Shen Shihuang frowned slightly and said: "Unlikely. It must be interference from the lightning."

Shen Shihuang pointed at the black mist overhead.

Zi Yan looked up, and her small face was instantly filled with shock: "Old Shen, our luck doesn't seem to be very good. This is a Thunderstorm Rain!"

"Thunderstorm Rain?" Shen Shihuang looked puzzled.

Zi Yan explained: "The Thunderstorm Rain is a specialty of this Thunder Mist Ravine. Just as the name suggests, during this time, lightning falls like rain. Even a Dou Huang expert could never survive it unscathed. I heard that a nine-star Dou Huang once got struck to death by a Thunderstorm Rain. It was absolutely miserable."

"Most importantly, once the Thunderstorm Rain begins, soul power is suppressed to the extreme, making it almost impossible to utilize."

Shen Shihuang's eyes lit up as he listened to Zi Yan.

This Thunderstorm Rain was practically tailor-made for him, so he asked, "How long does the Thunderstorm Rain last?"

Zi Yan held up three fingers: "Three days at most, no less!"

Given that the opponent was a Soul Hall protector, it was almost certain that the arrival of this Thunderstorm Rain would be a devastating blow to him.

"One day should be enough, right?" Shen Shihuang waved his hand, and the black Taisui Flame appeared, enveloping Zi Yan. "I happen to need to cultivate a Dou Technique that requires the assistance of thunder. The Taisui Flame can protect you from the power of the lightning. Once I finish my cultivation, we will immediately set out to find that guy."

Upon hearing this, a look of shock appeared on Zi Yan's small face.

"You're going to get struck by lightning??"

"What kind of Dou Technique is this?"

Rumble!

Suddenly, the black mist in the sky surged violently, and the azure-tinged lightning within it resembled a vast ocean.

At this moment, the power of heaven and earth was fully revealed. Even a magical beast with a powerful bloodline like Zi Yan turned pale at the sight of the Thunderstorm Rain.

In the Thunder Mist Ravine, Shen Shihuang clearly saw the figures of various magical beasts constantly searching for places to hide. The only thing they all shared was fear!

"The power of heaven and earth is truly terrifying!" It wasn't just the magical beasts; even Shen Shihuang felt boundless terror in his heart as he looked up at the sea of lightning within the black mist.

Hoo!

He exhaled a long breath and clenched his fists tightly.

"Hundred Thousand Thunder Method, I hope you do not disappoint me!"

Boom!

Following the first bolt of lightning, other beams of thunder fell into the Thunder Mist Ravine like rain.

Rumble!

Rumble!!

As each bolt of lightning struck Shen Shihuang's body, his skin and flesh burst open, and blood sprayed everywhere. In an instant, he had become a bloody mess.

Seeing this, Zi Yan remarked, "How ruthless!"

Shen Shihuang's consciousness began to blur; the power of the lightning was even stronger than he had imagined.

"Ah~~~~~~"

Shen Shihuang let out a low roar, his consciousness strictly following the circulation path of the "Hundred Thousand Thunder Method." With every bolt of lightning that struck him, the energy within that path grew stronger.

Swish!

Black bone wings sprouted from Shen Shihuang's back, carrying him into the air, where he stood proudly!

Rumble!!

Seemingly sensing Shen Shihuang's defiance, the lightning within the black mist appeared to grow stronger, as if to tell everyone that such an arrogant existence was not permitted within the Thunder Mist Ravine!

Boom!

As the lightning descended, the black bone wings dispersed its power, and silver-white arcs of electricity could be seen weaving across them, making them appear increasingly mysterious.

On another mountain peak in the Thunder Mist Ravine, inside a cave halfway up the slope:

"He's being way too ruthless to himself, isn't he?" A figure shrouded in black mist stared at Shen Shihuang in the sky.

"Heh heh, if it strikes you dead in the end, I'll be able to obtain the soul of a Dou Zong powerhouse..."
