"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The three women bowed again, watching Lin Hao's figure disappear into the depths of the corridor.
Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun exchanged a glance, both seeing the expectation and trepidation in each other's eyes.
I'm going back tomorrow.
I returned to my hometown, which I had left years ago.
This time when they return, they will no longer be the legitimate daughters of the Zhu Family family, the Star Luo Empire Imperial Concubines.
Instead--
The maidservant and disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Lin Hao.
They longed to know what would happen when they set foot on the land of the Douluo Continent again in this new capacity—
How will those old acquaintances react?
Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fists, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.
Soon, Lin Hao returned to his quiet room and waved his hand to set up several restrictions, completely isolating the inside from the outside.
This quiet room is located deep within the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Its walls are made of Nine Heavens Mysterious Jade, its floor is paved with Ten Thousand Years Warm Jade, and a fist-sized bright pearl hangs from the ceiling, casting a soft, clear light.
The interior furnishings were simple, consisting of only a futon and a small table, on which burned a burner of calming incense, its smoke curling upwards.
He sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes and regulated his breathing for a moment, completely calming his mind.
"System, extract the Thunder Emperor Precious Technique: Basic Chapter."
[Beep! Rewards being distributed...]
As the system notification sound faded, a vast and powerful torrent of information instantly flooded into Lin Hao's mind.
"Boom--!"
Lin Hao felt a jolt, as if he were standing in a sea of thunder.
As far as the eye could see, there was an endless sea of lightning.
Purple, gold, silver, and black lightning intertwined and roared, each bolt as thick as a mountain, piercing through heaven and earth, exuding the ultimate aura of destruction and creation.
In the center of the sea of thunder, a blurry figure stood, bathed in countless bolts of lightning, as if he were the thunder itself. With every move he made, the heavens and earth trembled.
The figure raised his hand and threw a punch.
"Snap--!"
A bolt of purple lightning tore through the sky, faster than the limits of time and space. The fist struck like thunder, and wherever it passed, the void collapsed and everything was annihilated.
This is Lightning Fist.
His punches are as swift as lightning, unparalleled in speed, and unmatched in offensive power.
The figure extended another finger.
A golden light burst forth from the fingertip, initially as small as a bean, but instantly expanding into a golden lightning pillar that pierced the heavens and the earth. The lightning pillar contained the most yang and the most powerful destructive force; wherever it touched, the laws shattered and order was reorganized.
This is the Thunder Emperor's Finger.
One finger can break through all laws; it is supremely strong and masculine, and nothing can withstand its power.
Finally, the figure moved.
He took a step forward, his figure transforming into a bolt of lightning, traversing the endless sea of lightning.
That wasn't just simple speed; it seemed to be infused with the laws of thunder, moving alongside lightning and racing against time.
The lightning left behind countless afterimages, each one real and authentic, as if it existed simultaneously in countless times and spaces.
This is the Thunder Emperor's Extreme Speed.
His body transformed into lightning, moving with unparalleled speed, piercing through the void.
The profound meanings of the three techniques surged into Lin Hao's mind like a tide. Every rune and every wisp of Daoist rhyme contained the supreme truth of the Great Dao of Thunder.
Lin Hao was completely absorbed in it, his mind and attention were totally captivated.
"As expected of the legacy of one of the Ten Fiends of the Ancient Era..."
Lin Hao was amazed.
The Thunder Emperor's Precious Technique is unparalleled in its speed and attack, and is also known among the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques for its ruthless killing and unpredictable movement.
These three basic techniques have fully demonstrated the three true meanings of thunder: "Swiftness," "fierceness," and "destruction."
"First, study the ' Lightning Fist '."
Lin Hao composed himself and began to focus on analyzing the first technique.
The key to the Lightning Fist lies in speed.
The punches strike like lightning, with a thunderous roar; the enemy hasn't even moved before my fist has already arrived.
But this "speed" is not simply physical swiftness; rather, it requires concentrating one's fist intent, Magic Power, and even understanding of the laws of thunder into a single point.
At the moment of throwing a punch, it resonates with the thunderous laws of heaven and earth, drawing upon the true power of heavenly thunder to achieve speed and destructive force beyond limits.
Lin Hao closed his eyes, immersing his mind in the profound mysteries of the fist technique.
His hands unconsciously began to form hand seals, with tiny arcs of electricity dancing at his fingertips.
At first, there were only a few scattered sparks, but as his understanding of the fist technique deepened, the electric arcs became more and more numerous and dense, eventually transforming into streaks of purple lightning that Entanglement and roamed between his hands.
"Thunder, the might of heaven and earth, supremely yang and strong, swift as light, fierce as a dragon..."
Lin Hao murmured to himself, his hands moving slowly, tracing out mysterious patterns.
With each stroke, the void trembled slightly, and a faint rumble of thunder could be heard.
Gradually, the purple lightning on his fists grew stronger and stronger, eventually condensing into two lightning balls the size of his fists.
Inside the lightning sphere, countless tiny runes flowed, emanating a chilling aura of destruction.
" Lightning Fist, First Stage, First Appearance of Thunder Light!"
Lin Hao suddenly opened his eyes and gently pushed forward with his right fist.
"Sizzle--!"
A bolt of purple lightning shot out from the fist, incredibly fast, instantly piercing through the void inside the quiet room and leaving a charred mark three inches deep on the wall made of Nine Heavens Mysterious Jade.
It should be noted that this Nine Heavens Mysterious Jade is extremely hard; even a full-force attack from an ordinary cultivator from the Other Shore would hardly leave a mark.
Lin Hao had only just begun to grasp the essence of the fist, yet his casual strike possessed such power.
"Good."
A look of satisfaction appeared in Lin Hao's eyes.
But he did not stop; he continued to ponder and comprehend.
The Lightning Fist has three levels.
The first level First Appearance of Thunder Light, followed by a punch that is more than ten times faster than ordinary fist techniques.
The second level Thunderous Might and powerful, with the fist striking like a thunderbolt from the sky. It is not only fast but also contains immense thunderous power. A single punch can shatter mountains and split the earth.
The third level, the Thunder Emperor's True Form, is a complete fusion of fist intent and the laws of thunder. When the fist strikes, it can summon true heavenly punishment thunder, acting on behalf of heaven to carry out punishment, with unfathomable power.
Lin Hao has only just begun to understand, barely touching the threshold of the first level.
"Continue."
He closed his eyes again, his mind completely immersed in the mysteries of thunder.
Time passed slowly.
Inside the quiet room, lightning flashed intermittently, the wind howled, and the faint sound of thunder echoed.
If it weren't for the restrictions, such a commotion would have already alerted the entire Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Three hours later.
"Boom--!"
A deep rumble of thunder echoed in the quiet room.
On Lin Hao's right fist, the purple lightning blazed to its extreme, transforming into a thunderous fist imprint as thick as a bucket, which he unleashed with a thunderous roar.
The space distorted where the fist imprint passed, groaning under its strain, before finally slamming hard against the wall.
"Click..."
On the wall of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Jade, a deep fist-shaped imprint appeared, more than a foot deep, surrounded by spiderweb-like cracks.
" Lightning Fist, Level 1, Minor Success"
Lin Hao withdrew his fist, a flash of purple lightning disappearing from his eyes.
In just three hours, he had cultivated a supreme technique to the first minor level of mastery. If word of this speed were to spread, it would be enough to shake the entire Big Dipper. But Lin Hao was not satisfied.
"Next up is the Thunder Emperor's Finger."
He paused for a moment to adjust his breathing, then began to comprehend the second technique.
Unlike the Lightning Fist, the Thunder Emperor's Finger does not seek extreme speed, but rather ultimate penetration and destruction.
The power of a single finger, concentrated at a single point, can shatter all laws.
Lin Hao extended his right index finger, gathering magical Magic Power at the tip, and began to outline the Dao patterns of the Thunder Emperor's Finger.
