18 Experimenting With New Abilities.

A/N : Here's today's chapter. So ENJOY.

*******************************************************

After having a good night sleep, Tang Ming woke up late than usual, maybe because of being exhausted or for any other reason. Usually Tang Ming always wakes up at dawn but today it is already early morning.

After waking up and washing himself, he once again teleported himself to the roof and sat at the edge where sunlight is just starting to fall.

It took him over one and half year to condense those hundred Qilin marks. So condensing of thousand Qilin mark should take more than one year again but because of saving and storing all those enormous amount of spirit energy from the Meteoric Tear and thousand year old spirit ring, it will easily let him condense more than 800 marks non-stop without any problem.

One thing about Qilin Transformation technique that I like is as long as I have enough resources such as spirit stones or in my case spirit energy there is literally no bottleneck in advancement. And the thing that depends on talent is, how fast can you condense those marks.

I started condensing Qilin marks and keep condensing till the sun reached the sky. After taking a breath, I looked inside and can see more than 50 new dull gray marks condensed and rotating with the previous hundred present.

I then looked at the another roof and I can see Tang San sitting in a lotus position with his eyes closed, meditating his own Mysterious Heaven Technique and training his Purple Demon Eye.

I came down from the roof and found a quite place where no one was watching, and then teleported myself to the same place in the forest where I usually train and practice.

Once again taking off my uniform and changing to wearing a single ragged brown pant and keeping my upper body bare chested.

I used to train with my clothes on but one day, while I was running through forest it got stuck in some tree's branch and got ripped off.

As I'm very poor right now I have only two sets of clothes and getting one torn up because of training made me give up wearing anything on my upper body and train while being bare chested.

As I looked at my body, I can't help but appreciate the outlines of the muscles that was starting to form. I was sure that my body will be completely ripped with muscles after some years.

After training here for more than two weeks, I have cleared and cut some of the trees with my spear to make myself a wide ground for training and practice.

You can found all type of stones and boulders ranging from big to giant size which can easily weigh more than thousands of kilos.

I already have more than five hundred kilos of strength thanks to my cultivation technique. But no one said I can't have more strength. I mean I have already more than thousand of kilos of strength at just spirit rank ten because of breaking my limits two times and the help that I got from Meteoric Tear.

I then tried the same thing I did yesterday and thought of covering my arm with the lightning. It happened as soon as I thought and my whole arm was covered in purple lightning that is flickering back and forth all over.

I can feel that my attacking power just doubled, I went toward a huge boulder which is the biggest in the whole vicinity, which in my opinion is more than four to five thousand kilos and stood in front it.

I then took the horse stance, clenched my fist, pulled it backward ( just like the fighting stance Goku does in DBS) and punched the boulder with all my strength

'Crack!!'

"Bang!!"

The place where I punched, started to crack like a spider web and then the boulder shattered into tiny pieces and flew around.

I stood there dumbfounded, with my hand in the same position I punched.

'Looks like my strength quadrupled instead of just doubling. I just punched with my raw physical power without using any spirit power to strengthen my punch. If I have used spirit power my punch would have at least doubled in strength. I think I'm going to become the One Punch Man of Douluo continent.'

I can't help but think of myself as the dope hero in yellow suit with red gloves and boots, roaming all around the continent and defeating opponents with just a single punch. As soon as this thought came into my mind, I hurriedly pulled myself to the reality.

Now I think I don't need to practice my physical power as much as I did and can fully concentrate on developing some of the technique I have in mind for a while.

I then once again thought of covering my whole body with lightning, sort of forming an armour with electricity. I imagined myself covered in the same type of armour as Gilgamesh from the fate series and the lightning heeded my command and started shaping itself the same as the Gilgamesh golden armour but instead of golden it was in purple colour and looks like made up of energy.

I seriously liked my manipulation of the lightning although only throughout my body but it was off the charts.

I was standing there with lightning covering my whole body in the badass looking lightning armour where purple lightning can be seen flickering all over. My shoulder length platinum hair was flowing without any wind blowing, which I think is because of the discharge of electricity.

I called my spear and got into the same horse stance that I usually do, with the spear behind my back. I then thrusted forward horizontally and muttered :

" First spirit skill: Thunderstorm Strike!!"

I used my first spirit skill and then ten clones of my spear imbued with thunder and lightning launched itself forward toward the clearing.

I teleported myself right in the way of my attack and let all the the spear hit me.

After all the attacks hit me and dissipitated, I can see only an inch mark deep cut in the armour which restored instantly as I supplied my spirit power to it.

'Damn, I don't think I need any defence skill as I was thinking to get it as my second spirit ring. I can maintain it as long as I keep pouring spirit power, which now basically can be maintained for more than 10 hours as it take very little amount to maintain it and that is without passive recovery of spirit power which keep recovering because of my spirit power circulating by itself. I get to have a cheat like ability by just deriving, using and manipulating lightning.'

I then thought of applying the lightning to my foot and I know it's not my unique idea ( I borrowed it from Killua from Hunter x Hunter) but its the best skill I can think of which can increase my speed to a supernatural degree. Yeah it's what you think it is. The legendary skill<[Godspeed]>.

My speed normally was fast but not fast enough. I can run 100 metres in 3 seconds, which can be faster than most Olympic athletes of my previous life.

I got into the running posture and sprinted, two consecutive sonic boom sounded and the next thing I know was I'm falling in the middle of lake in an awkward manner. I think i just broke the sound barrier. Well lightning travels at the speed of 186,000 miles per second which is 300,000,000 million metre per sec, which is near the speed of light. I think the speed at which I just sprinted and got myself drowned is close to mach 2 which is twice the speed of the sound, so the two consecutive sonic booms. But I can't feel and sense anything else at that speed, it just all blurred and the next thing I know I was falling from the mid air. So I need some skill or technique which can help me with the speed I wanted to move.

Well after experimenting with all the things that I can do with my lightning manipulation, l even tried to shoot it through the tip of my spear but it didn't work. It just started to converge and formed a mini ball at the tip which I can't shoot but can attack with.

Now that I tested all the possible capabilities, I then tried to think for training some of the technique I have in my mind for a while.

Like the Observation Haki from the one piece or what you call Divine Sense in Xianxia cultivation novels. Observation Haki can be practiced by practically any human. And it is not some rule bending or different type of power. It just an enhancement of physical senses to an incredible degree.

What I mostly like about Observation Haki is that it forms something like a domain around you although you wouldn't have any control over it, you can feel everything around you from living to non living things. And this just happens to be the best technique which can help me with <[Godspeed]>. After knowing all the information and knowing where I wanted to travel can help me pinpoint the location.

Some people may ask that if I already have the ability to teleport why I'm even working on the <[Godspeed]>. Well Teleportation can help me go anywhere I want but it can't help me increase my movement and reaction speed. And Teleportation is all good but flying at the speed of lightning and leaving a trail behind have its own perk and don't start how good it feels.

And the part where Observation Haki starts to form passively around is the best part. With that no one can possibly assassinate me, as I can sense everything around me in a particular area.

I took a black rectangular strip of cloth from the Ameterasu Flames, which I specifically found to practice Observation Haki.

I blindfolded myself and started running in the forest. I just ran for some 5 second before I collided with a tree.

It hurts very much when you're caught off guard. And it's only when I'm using just my physical power. If I used the [Godspeed], I don't think I can probably be alive the next morning.

I then did the training the whole noon and even forgot to eat. I tried to feel anything around me but it's just didn't happen. I can only sigh and shook my head disappointingly, this is the first time it happened that the new technique I tried didn't bore any fruit.

After washing myself and packing my clothes and putting it in the storage bracelet. I teleported myself at a roof near the academy and then jumped down and ran towards the academy.

(3rd Person POV)

Grandmaster can be seen standing at the academy gate waiting for something. As he saw Tang Ming running towards the academy, he can't help but frown.

And as Tang Ming reached the gate and saw Grandmaster standing there looking at him with a frown, he can't help but think :

' What did I forget today'

In the excitement of experimenting and training new abilities and technique, he completely forgot that the Grandmaster had asked to come meet him after the lunch but he was still training till dusk and forget about the Grandmaster's call.

" Where were you, Xiao Ming. Why didn't you came to my office after the lunch. And when I didn't find you, I asked Tang San about your whereabout but even he didn't know where you went." Grandmaster asked Tang Ming with a very solemn and serious gaze.

Tang Ming can only smile wryly thinking it. He in the excitement forgot that Grandmaster has asked him to meet him in his office after the lunch.

"Master, I was training in the forest and trying to figure out my spirit ring ability, that's why I forgot to come and meet you at your office." Tang Ming answered, half truth and half lie as he is practically figuring out his new abilities.

" Oh, so you are training in the forest. It's good that you are practicing and training but you should keep your health in mind as you are still small. I'm not angry that you didn't came and meet me, but you should tell me from next time before going to train. Go and meet with Tang San, he is also worried about you as you didn't came to eat at lunch."

Grandmaster said and left toward his office with his hands behind his back.

Tang Ming also ran towards the dormitory and after reaching opened the door.

In the room, Tang San and Xiao Wu can be seen discussing something, while Tang San has a worried look, Xiao Wu is still as carefree as she can be.

Wang Sheng and the others can be seen cultivating and practicing.

As soon as the creaking of the door sounded, all eyes looked towards the door and after seeing Tang Ming there. They all once again busied themselves.

Tang San seeing Tang Ming ran toward him with a relieved look and asked :

" Brother where were you? We can't find you anywhere in the school and even teacher came to find you. You should go and meet him as he was worried about you."

Tang San said with an urgent tone.

" I already have met with teacher. By the way what were you all doing." Tang Ming tried to change the topic and asked Tang San.

Even Xiao Wu came over with a faked worried look and asked :

" Ehh...brother Ming, are you okay? I was so worried about you. You train in the forest and I thought some wild beast attacked and killed you."

Tang Ming's eye and mouth twitched at the faked worried looked Xiao Wu was making. And he really wanted to throw up hearing what she said.

' If not for being Xiao San future love interest and my future sister in law, I would've really...'

After chatting with others for a while, we all went to dinner together and slept after coming back.

Tang Ming slept as soon as he laid on the bed, as he was really exhausted by today's training.

*******************************************************

A/N : Well this is all I can think about his manipulation of lightning in his body only. And I wanted my character to be more of a melee fighter than long ranged one. So I didn't give him the ability to shoot thunderbolts or any other way lightning can be used in long ranged way. I have already made him OP AF. And I'm not going to give him any long ranged abilities till his sixth spirit ring.

I know some people would not like that I wanted to train MC in Observation Haki but believe when I say this is the only skill I'm trying to copy as it is best for him to use with his [Godspeed].

Well tell me if you liked the chapter and any other melee skills which can be used with the lightning manipulation. Next chapter will have time skips and I'll try to make him into a rich boss.

Any suggestions, reviews and comments are appreciated either good or bad. So Yeah, do comment.

I'm out.
