After laughing maniacally for a couple of minutes, Huang Shi finally calmed down. He quickly looked towards his left and right, checking to see if anyone had seen him, before breathing a sigh of relief.
Damn... I mean, obviously, no one else is here to see me laughing like a crazy person, but you know, just to be sure...
Huang Shi then tried to scrutinize his new body cultivation technique to get an idea of how powerful it was going to be, but when he used his system to check its information, he was quickly disappointed when he realized the higher levels was once again locked.
Whatever, it's not like I'm not used to it by now.
[Calamity Lightning Sunfyre Body]
First Level: Calamity Lightning Skin Refinement – Use the calamity lightning forged from the blood of a user of the Nine Primordial Sunfyre Physique and thunder qi from the heavens to temper the skin, allowing for preliminary absorption and utilization of calamity lightning qi.
[Current Progress 0/100]
Hmm, from what I can see of this technique, if I reach 100 percent progress in the first level of the Calamity Lightning Sunfyre Body, I can definitely have battle prowess on par with peak Nascent Profound Realm cultivators.
Add to that my spiritual energy cultivation using the Nine Sun Immortal Codex; if I use my system to reach the peak of the Nascent Profound Realm as well, I can definitely fight cultivators of the True Profound Realm with ease.
Huang Shi clenched his fist as his eyes shone with a malevolent light. He quickly noticed that his revenge was so close he could almost taste it.
Wash your necks for me, you bastards... did you really think you could get away scot-free after causing my mother to die?
After thinking for a few moments, he finally decided on a course of action for his preparations for both the Azure Dragon Sect Martial Arts Competition and his revenge.
First things first, I need to get to the Greenwood Forest and have a basic grasp of my current battle prowess. It's a huge problem for me not to know my actual strength in combat.
This was something that Huang Shi had thought of for quite a while now. Despite having been reincarnated into this world for about a month at this point, he had spent almost that entire time either cultivating or spending time with his lover.
The only fights he had been able to experience were with Tian Ju, which was a one-sided beatdown, and with one of his older brothers, Huang Yi, who didn't seem to be all that powerful.
Next, I need to find a place where I can come into contact with lightning qi from the heavens and absorb it into my body so it can mix with my blood, giving birth to my Calamity Lightning. This will allow me to take the first step in cultivating my physique.
Finally, I need to get into more fights! Fights with fellow cultivators, fights with spiritual beasts—anything that can get me used to fighting with my life on the line. I need to find it. I need to master my strength!
Huang Shi's eyes shone with fervor. One of the things he had been worried about when he got reincarnated into this world was the fact that because he came from a world of law and order, he had never truly been in a fight with his life on the line.
This put him at a massive disadvantage with the true geniuses of this world who, because they were born into this environment, had already seen their fair share of blood and carnage on their path to the top.
If I don't remedy this aspect myself, I will never become a true expert! I need to experience bloodshed, and a lot of it!
After calming himself down, he finally decided to end his incursion into the third level of the Information Hall. He walked back towards the door leading to the lower levels, with the only thing he took from the room being the [Pill Flame Control Art] which was already inside of his head.
WHOOSH
After waiting for a couple of moments, the door automatically opened once it sensed that Huang Shi had intentions of leaving. He once again saw the two guards of the third level, Huang Bo and Huang Jun.
It was Huang Bo who spoke first, quickly noticing that the copy Huang Shi took was colored red instead of the expected azure, emphasized by the glow on his forehead.
"You didn't take the Azure Dragon Thunderform Body? Why?"
Huang Shi, who had already thought of an excuse, quickly spoke his answer. "I've already received a copy of the Azure Dragon Thunderform Body from my father; I just didn't bother to cultivate it until now, so I don't need it anymore."
This time it was Huang Jun who spoke with furrowed brows, his voice carrying a hint of displeasure. "If you already had it, why did you even bother coming here? Don't tell me you truly came for that [Pill Flame Control Art]? You don't look like a pill refiner."
Huang Shi didn't seem bothered by this response. He gave a smile before raising his right hand as powerful Sunfyre Qi gathered there, bursting into an intimidating golden flame.
Huang Bo and Huang Jun were instantly shocked as they stared at the golden flame. Even as powerful cultivators of the 5th level of the Nascent Profound Realm, they felt a slight sense of threat from this strange golden fire.
"What is this flame?"
"What kind of cultivation technique created this?"
One after another, Huang Bo and Huang Jun asked their questions. However, after speaking them out loud, they suddenly felt embarrassed. They looked at each other before Huang Bo spoke up while rubbing his head.
"All right, kid. It seems you have your own secrets, and we old folks won't pry into them. But I suggest that before you become strong enough, you make sure not to reveal them to people who might bear hostile intent towards you! Even with the Grand Elder present, there are certain people who might not be able to contain their greed."
