Zhang Xuezhou, Made of Iron

"Damn thunder!"

As demons, after entering the sixth realm, each demon will more or less encounter the baptism of thunder to advance further.

Even though Feiyu was proficient in Technique Method, he was no stranger to lightning and had even been struck by lightning several times.

But he did not experience such a dense lightning strike.

As he passed through the clouds, he felt that the clouds were extremely hostile to him, and most of the lightning generated by the friction between the clouds struck him.

If these lightning bolts weren't newly formed and hadn't yet unleashed their full power, Feiyu felt he would be half-dead or dead today.

He found it difficult to fly upwards, while flying downwards would unleash even more intense lightning power, so Feiyu had no choice but to grit his teeth and fly at high speed.

"Left Envoy of Feiyu, can't you find a place without clouds to fly over?"

With Feiyu gripping his hand, Zhang Xuezhou felt a pang of despair.

He didn't know whether the lightning was brought by Feiyu or guided by him.

With the bronze wings brought by the Technique Within the Clouds, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his body in the vast sky was likely to be like a large block of iron, instantly becoming the most dazzling star in the night sky.

This also frequently draws lightning.

Feiyu could still withstand it, but Zhang Xuezhou felt he truly couldn't.

"I also wanted to find a place without clouds, but in the pitch-black night, I only knew the direction, how could I know where there were thunderclouds and where there weren't? I've rarely encountered anything like this before, oh my god!"

Three consecutive arcs of electricity shot out, illuminating an area of several dozen feet around them, causing Feiyu's response to fall to the ground.

Zhang Xuezhou felt a surge of electricity coursing through his body, and his pores opened up once again.

"Lightning Avoidance Technique!"

As Zhang Xuezhou continued to circulate the Lightning Avoidance Technique, he felt that the technique, which had previously had 6,326 acupoints opened, was now showing a new direction for activation.

Compared to the previous difficulty in connecting dozens of acupoints by gathering Law Power, there are now far more than dozens.

As his Law Power continued to circulate, Zhang Xuezhou experienced repeated lightning strikes and felt that he had sensed hundreds or even thousands of acupoints.

This silenced him, and he focused his attention on it.

As long as His Majesty still needs him, the Left Envoy of the Feiyu will not easily abandon him.

Zhang Xuezhou was still quite relieved at this point.

If a problem arises, Zhang Xuezhou will be helpless.

Facing the thunderclouds at such a high altitude, Zhang Xuezhou could only rely on the Feiyu, not on his own leaping, to escape.

If there's anything he can do, Zhang Xuezhou feels that improving the Lightning Avoidance Technique even slightly would be a help.

"This also seems to be an external environment, a factor belonging to the 'earth' element!"

There are four conditions for spiritual practice: Dharma, wealth, companion, and environment.

The X446 body repair technology that Zhang Xuezhou experienced was an external auxiliary cultivation environment, while being in the thundercloud layer and experiencing dense lightning that did not damage his body was obviously also an environment.

Aside from being a bit of a slacker, this environment is indeed excellent.

The moment Zhang Xuezhou had a thought, the energy channels suitable for avoiding lightning surged forward in succession.

Lightning occasionally surged across his body, and like a beacon, it guided him to more unexplored avenues.

Waves of Law Power continuously washed over his body, and Zhang Xuezhou felt the acupoints within his body constantly pushing upwards.

Seven thousand!

Eight thousand!

Nine thousand!

Ten thousand!

With every breath, every moment, every minute, and even every second, Zhang Xuezhou's body seemed to be recharged, constantly leaping upwards, and the number of apertures opened by the Lightning Avoidance Technique increased wildly.

"Damn it, we're finally out of those thunderclouds!"

When Feiyu's heavy breathing reached Zhang Xuezhou, he felt a chill run through his body. The previously expanded orifices all contracted back, no longer allowing his Law Power to surge through them.

"Seventeen thousand nine hundred and sixty-seven!"

The cultivation level of the True Spirit Realm brings effects that are even stronger than in reality.

Enduring the baptism of lightning, and with someone to help shield him from it, Zhang Xuezhou thrived in this environment, nearly doubling the number of acupoints he could open with the Lightning Avoidance Technique, even surpassing the number of acupoints opened by the Grain Avoidance Technique in reality.

This is not the limit of his current level of cultivation in the Lightning Avoidance Technique, but Zhang Xuezhou would indeed find it difficult to find a similar cultivation environment again.

"Great, we're safe!"

Although he hoped the lightning's effects would last a little longer, the acrid smell emanating from Feiyu made Zhang Xuezhou realize that if things continued this way, someone might die.

He offered a word of praise.

"Lord Feiyu, you are truly amazing! You actually managed to pass through the heavenly lightning. You must be the first person in history to traverse the thunderclouds!"

"More people are traversing the thunderclouds!"

Feiyu let out a sigh of relief, feeling redness, swelling, and pain all over her body.

But Zhang Xuezhou's praise made him feel much better.

"I'm certainly not the first, but few people would carry others through thunderclouds like this, let alone encounter such a dense barrage of lightning..."

"Number one!"

As Feiyu eliminated the relevant options one after another, she felt that she was indeed quite remarkable.

"In this respect, I am very likely indeed the number one demon!"

He corrected Zhang Xuezhou's choice of words.

There were a few moments when he did consider abandoning Zhang Xuezhou and trying to quickly traverse the thunderclouds.

But the thought of the punishment from the Emperor made it impossible for him to do it, so he gritted his teeth and went ahead anyway.

Lightning inflicts severe trauma, but its paralyzing ability is even more troublesome, severely limiting the flight capabilities of the Feiyu.

The area covered by the thunderclouds may be less than a hundred miles, but it took Feiyu almost a thousand miles of flying time, and even more so, the Demon Power used to travel thousands of miles.

He was breathing heavily, basking in the praise, and his body surged with power as his heart was filled with emotion.

As he flapped his wings and continued to descend away from the possible thunderclouds ahead, he saw glimmers of light, which caused him to stagger and fall further.

"Bang!"

A dull thud echoed as Feiyu felt as if she had lost all feeling in her legs.

The normal landing turned into a tumble, and Zhang Xuezhou was thrown out again.

"Lord Feiyu, it seems your leg is broken!"

"It's broken?"

After several tens of seconds, Feiyu finally heard Zhang Xuezhou's voice, which made him widen his eyes in surprise.

The darkness made it difficult for him to rely on his own eyes, and when he touched his thigh, Feiyu's heart skipped a beat.

He managed to protect his upper body but not his lower body. His wings were still usable, but the roots of his legs, which he used to swing backward as he flew, were clearly shattered by the lightning.

The numbness even made him lose the ability to perceive pain.

Once the body regains sensation of pain, the speed and distance of flight will inevitably be greatly affected.

Only after realizing the injuries to her body did Feiyu realize that she could no longer work.

"This place seems to be within the territory of the Han Dynasty. Find someone to ask for directions to Chang'an City. I need to go find His Majesty to save my life!"

As a spy, Zhang Xuezhou should have basic survival skills.

With the Venerable One's position as the master of the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture, Feiyu was not afraid of losing Zhang Xuezhou. However, if he did not take good care of his injuries, Feiyu felt that there was a very high possibility that he would become disabled, or even die prematurely.

He gave two more instructions, then flapped his wings and flew up crookedly.

"I possess the Supreme Purity True Technique that can help heal injuries!"

As Zhang Xuezhou felt the wind and waves surge, Feiyu was nowhere to be seen.

He muttered to himself, feeling that the old pattern of whoever he relied on would suffer misfortune had repeated itself.

Whenever he traveled long distances with these big shots, they all became despondent and gave him no chance to rely on them.

If you asked Zhang Xuezhou give examples, he could list a long string of names.

"A constant stream of big shots..."

He muttered something to himself, and when he noticed the scattered lights several miles below, Zhang Xuezhou also spread his wings and quickly descended.

Volume One, "Clouds Rise in All Directions," touches upon the Sudong City, the Western Capital, the Southern Jambudvipa Continent, and the Northern Kuru Continent, perfectly covering the cardinal directions. The next chapter will begin the epic saga of the Great Han.
