Chapter 47

This move did not look particularly visually spectacular, but Yu Tianxin, who had cultivated lightning for many years, naturally saw its brilliance.

The speed at which it was unleashed was extremely fast, indicating that this skill could be cast instantly, with virtually no wind-up time—though Yu Tianxin did not know what a wind-up was;

Every circle was perfect, and none of the other obstacles had been scorched by lightning, indicating that Mo Lin's control over lightning was extremely precise;

The circular marks were all the same size, indicating that the lightning's power had not weakened due to distance or obstacles during the attack.

Seeing that Yu Tianxin had already figured some things out, Mo Lin demonstrated another move.

"Little White Long Worm!"

A snake formed from condensed lightning gathered beside Mo Lin, then roamed freely through the forest like a sea snake entering the water. Finally, it crashed into a large tree at a speed too fast to see, slicing it cleanly in half.

Yu Tianxin clasped his fists toward Mo Lin.

"Elder, your strength is extraordinary. Tianxin admits his inferiority!"

Mo Lin placed his hands behind his back, wearing an unfathomable expression.

"I was never planning to compete with you in this. I only used it because I wanted to ask you something. Do you want to learn it?"

"Elder, isn't this your soul skill?" Yu Tianxin asked.

Mo Lin smiled and shook his head.

"Of course not. This is merely one way of using soul power. As long as one meets the requirements, anyone can learn it."

Yu Tianxin seemed to have no reason not to learn. He knew that his strength could be considered outstanding among his generation, but he was certainly not at the very top. Furthermore, because his abilities were similar to Yu Tianheng's while he was older, he had never been groomed as the clan leader's successor. If he could master stronger abilities, he could prove himself and gain the right to compete for the future position of clan leader.

Yu Tianxin immediately dropped to one knee and clasped his fists.

"Elder, please teach me!"

Mo Lin smiled. This was the result he wanted.

The reason he had chosen to cultivate Yu Tianxin as a trusted subordinate rather than Yu Tianheng was, first, because in Mo Lin's view, the two cousins' talents truly were not that different. Yu Tianheng's ability to reach roughly Yu Tianxin's level at a younger age was also because their cultivation resources had not been equal from the beginning;

Second, Yu Tianxin currently desired power more than Yu Tianheng did. He wanted to grow stronger more desperately and was more willing to seize opportunities. In terms of determination, he was firmer than anyone else.

Mo Lin took out an immortal herb from his wristband and handed it to Yu Tianxin.

"This is Nine Thunder Dragon Glorybind, an exceptionally rare immortal-grade herb. It is also extremely compatible with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul. Before I teach you, take it first!"

This Nine Thunder Dragon Glorybind had also been taken by Mo Lin from around Dugu Bo's Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. Moreover, he had been nourishing it with his own Yang Five Thunders for all these years. It could be said that it had now completely surpassed the realm of immortal-grade herbs.

Yu Tianxin could tell at a glance that it was not human—cross that out—that Nine Thunder Dragon Glorybind was no ordinary item. It was absolutely the most precious thing he had seen in all his years, yet Mo Lin had given it to him so casually. He immediately fell to both knees.

"Elder, Tianxin will never forget your immense kindness!"

Mo Lin helped Yu Tianxin up.

"There is no need for this. It is only natural for an elder to help a junior."

After standing, Yu Tianxin carefully examined Mo Lin's face again.

"A junior? Elder, although your status is very high, you appear to be of the same generation as me."

Mo Lin lowered his voice.

"Tianxin, since I intend to teach and you intend to learn, I can be considered half your master. I'll tell you two little secrets, but you must promise not to tell anyone. Can you do that?"

Yu Tianxin nodded.

Mo Lin leaned close to his ear.

"First, for certain reasons, this face of mine is not my real face. Second, I am the nephew of the current clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so my surname is not Yu."

Yu Tianxin was extremely shocked.

"You are the clan leader's nephew? That means you are Grandma Yuan Ling's son?"

"You've met my mother?" Mo Lin asked.

Yu Tianxin nodded.

"Yes. When I was young, I would often see Grandma Yuan Ling in the clan. She was especially kind to us juniors, but because of her age, she always refused to let us call her Grandma. Then one day, she suddenly disappeared, and I never saw her again. I never expected you to be her son. Has Grandma Yuan Ling returned to the clan?"

Mo Lin sighed.

"She has already passed away."

"How is that possible? She should only be in her forties this year, shouldn't she?" Yu Tianxin clearly did not believe it.

Mo Lin sighed again.

"I don't want to recall this matter too much. When you return to the clan later, ask the clan leader about it. Right now, you should focus on the tournament. Absorb this immortal herb first."

Yu Tianxin obediently stopped asking questions. He sat down cross-legged, swallowed the Nine Thunder Dragon Glorybind, and began absorbing it.

Mo Lin stood behind Yu Tianxin.

"In a moment, I'll use a special method to teach you the skills I just used. Don't resist... By the way, you're still a virgin, right?"

Yu Tianxin nearly spat out blood.

"Elder, isn't that question far too—too private?"

"This question is crucial. Hurry up and answer!"

Yu Tianxin blushed furiously and forced out a single word:

"Yes."

"Then that's fine. Go ahead and absorb it. Remember, don't resist later."

When Yu Tianheng had absorbed nearly half of the Nine Thunder Dragon Glorybind, Mo Lin began using Double Full Hands. A hand formed from blue energy slapped down onto Yu Tianheng's head.

Mo Lin only intended to completely alter the consciousness of those he desperately needed but who were highly unlikely to join him. Thus, Yu Tianheng merely suddenly felt a great deal of unfamiliar information appear in his mind.

This information included the basic method for condensing Yang Five Thunders, the fastest methods Mo Lin had developed over the years for circulating and cultivating Yang Five Thunders, a slight alteration to Yu Tianxin's memories that made cultivating Yang Five Thunders something he would automatically do subconsciously, as well as some special minor applications of Yang Five Thunders, such as Little White Worm and Little White Long Worm.

Mo Lin also guided his soul power into Yu Tianxin's body to accelerate the circulation of his soul power, helping him absorb the Nine Thunder Dragon Glorybind and guiding him in condensing Yang Five Thunders.

As Yu Tianxin involuntarily began cultivating Yang Five Thunders using the method Mo Lin had passed on to him, he clearly felt his heart beating faster than ever before. A strange kind of soul power continuously emerged from his heart. He felt as though his heart was about to burst into flames, and it was unbearably uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Mo Lin was there to assist him, constantly guiding the soul power from Yu Tianxin's heart throughout his body, allowing his entire body to slowly grow accustomed to this new soul power and gradually merge it with his original soul power.
