Chapter 44: Gaining Another Thunder Attribute Technique

Leaf Liang's final scream was abruptly cut off as Su Lang's blade descended. His headless body collapsed to the ground, his head rolling to Old Lu's feet, eyes wide open in eternal terror and disbelief.

Old Lu gasped for air, his body trembling as he looked at Leaf Liang's severed head. The prestigious sixth young master of the Leaf family, a figure of unparalleled status in Red Maple Stronghold, was now reduced to a lifeless corpse. Old Lu had once taken pride in serving such a high-ranking individual, but now, fear gripped his heart.

"Please, spare me, great one," Old Lu stammered, tears streaming from his old, cloudy eyes. He knew he had enough strength to put up a fight, but his spirit was completely broken. He no longer had the will to resist.

"You've seen my face," Su Lang said coldly. "And your family is still under the control of the Leaf family. Do you really think I can trust you?"

Old Lu's body shook violently as he kowtowed, sobbing. Su Lang's blade flashed again, and Old Lu's head rolled away, joining Leaf Liang in death.

Su Lang flicked his blade clean of blood before sheathing it. Now it was time to collect his spoils. He found a box filled with 1,265 gold coins. Including what he had looted from Leaf Liang, Old Lu, and the Broken Axe Hunting Party, his total haul reached 4,232 gold coins.

"Hehehe, not bad at all," Su Lang chuckled, satisfied with the growing wealth.

He changed back into his original clothes and quietly left the blood-soaked Golden Fruit Building. He sent his clone to hunt E-grade beasts outside the barrier while he returned to his inn.

Back in his room, Su Lang immediately examined the six martial techniques Leaf Liang and Old Lu had provided. Three were body tempering techniques, two were weapon techniques, and one was an attribute technique. To Su Lang's surprise, the attribute technique was another thunder attribute technique, named "True Thunder Light Technique", similar to the "True Thunder Silk Technique."

"Could they be related?" Su Lang wondered as he eagerly began reading the "True Thunder Light Technique."

After a quick read-through, Su Lang replaced the "True Thunder Silk Technique" with the "True Thunder Light Technique" in his training system.

"Ding! Training technique switched to 'True Thunder Light Technique!'"

The twisted thunder silk disappeared from the training figure's hands, replaced by flickering thunder lights under its feet. Su Lang watched with excitement as the figure began its training.

About ten minutes later:

"Ding! 'True Thunder Light Technique' has reached the introductory level."

A flood of thunder attribute insights filled Su Lang's mind, and he immediately grasped the fundamentals of the "True Thunder Light Technique."

"This is a movement technique!" Su Lang exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "And it's part of a higher-level thunder attribute technique along with the 'True Thunder Silk Technique!'"

The two techniques complemented each other, significantly enhancing their effectiveness. Practicing both was not a simple addition; it was a multiplication of their power.

"Let's test it out!" Su Lang thought, channeling his spiritual energy into the "True Thunder Light Technique." His feet began to glow with an unsteady thunder light.

In the next moment, he took a step, and his body shot forward like an arrow, nearly crashing into the wall.

"Whoa! This technique is incredible!" Su Lang marveled at his newfound speed, which had at least doubled

.

Drawing his Tang knife, he channeled thunder silk into the blade. The thunder silk was denser and more vibrant than before, and its power had increased significantly.

"This is amazing!" Su Lang beamed with joy, turning his attention to the remaining five techniques: "Turtle Breath Body Tempering Technique," "Immovable Lock Body Technique," "Rain Step Technique," "Willow Sword Technique," and "Flower Shadow Sword Technique."
