--- Chapter 230 ---

Zzt!

Boom!

The sound of electricity and thunderclaps permeated the Earthly Dragon Enclave. Two figures danced in the well-lit training cave, flashing their steps with flickering cyan and purple light.

Yun Canghai covered his body with myriad cyan lightning arcs, wielding a sword with his right hand. He slashed the air horizontally with a skillful swing, creating a thunderclap-like noise.

Across Yun Canghai, Yun Che is sweating like no tomorrow. His breathing is uneven, but there are similar lightning arcs around his body, and their colors are purple.

"You possessed the Bloodline of my Yun Family." Yun Canghhai watched his grandson dodging the sword slash. "It means your Profound Way attuned to lightning profound qi like me and the rest of Yun Family." 

"I've also awakened your Profound Handle and discovered you have Purple Profound Handle, which is better than my Cyan Profound Handle by two grades." 

"With it, you can manifest 70% of your power into reality, creating weapons and even invading your enemy's consciousness." 

"The stronger your imagination, the stronger your projection into reality." 

Yun Canghai stomped the ground and caused a massive rock to bounce out before kicking it to Yun Che, "Got it?" 

Swoosh!

Watching the incoming rock fly at incredible speed and acceleration, Yun Che lifted his left hand hurriedly and focused his will on the Profound Handle, shaping it into a spear. 

Crack! Boom!

A purple spear appeared and pierced the massive rock, breaking into pieces. 

Unknowingly, Yun Canghai appeared behind Yun Che like a ghost and struck him on the back.

Yun Che felt coldness in his back and cursed, "Shi-!" 

BAM!

"Too late, you should assess the situation more." Yun Canghai said while slamming his fist against his grandson's back. Call it tough love, but Yun Canghai really needs his grandson to grow stronger quickly. 

Yun Che got sent flying to a cave wall, coughing profusely. He fell to the ground and felt weak all over his body. 

"What did you do to me, Grandpa?" 

"I feel weak..." 

Yun Canghai smirked, "I invaded your profound veins with my Profound Handle and sealed it. You might not notice it, but my last strike hit your pressure point." 

"This is called the Dead Strike Technique within the Yun Family." 

"You must train your dynamic vision using lightning qi to learn the Dead Strike Technique." 

He gave Yun Che a knowing look and patted his own chest, "It would be difficult, but with your grandpa here, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Is there a way to unseal the seal?" Yun Che asked while feeling too stuffy in his chest.

Yun Canghai nodded, "There is." 

"You just need to overwhelm my influence with your Profound Handle." 

"If it is other people outside the family, all they need is to explode their profound energy inside their body, which is very risky and dangerous, sometimes even resulting in death!" 

"Oh, that's why It's called Dead Point Technique? Impressive." A few claps of applause echoed in the cave.

Yun Canghai's mouth twitched, "What do you want, Yu Long?" 

"Don't you see that we are busy training?" 

Yu Long stood on a higher platform and descended, "Training? I thought you guys were playing chase for a moment." 

"Your method is so old school." 

"At this point, Yun Che would only reach the Spirit Profound Realm in a month." 

"You dare look down on me?!" Yun Canghai's face darkened.

Yu Long waved his hand, "I'm not looking down on you. I'm looking down on your training method."

To hell!

That's basically the same thing!

"..." Yun Canghai really wants to strangle this brat to death. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the power to do so.

Amused by Yun Canghai's constipated look, Yun Long chuckled and continued, "I will help you and Yun Che with something." 

"I won't personally help you with the revenge, but who said I can't support you guys?" 

"Hehe, do you still remember that copy of Purple Cloud Art you gave me a while ago?" 

Yun Canghai narrowed his eyes and answered slowly, "Yes..." 

"Is something wrong with my Yun Family's Purple Cloud Art?" 

"Just you know, the Purple Cloud Art is the fundamental Profound Art of my family. We have been perfecting it through generations of usages." 

"Unless the current Yun Family's Patriarch improved it, the one I give you is the best version of Purple Cloud Art in the world." 

Yu Long nodded, "It is a pretty good Profound Art, I have to admit." 

"Your Yun Family's foundation is sufficient." 

"The problem is, Purple Cloud Art favors the usage of Profound Handle and your bloodline too much. You're limiting yourself within a self-created boundary." 

"A Profound Art should grow alongside its practitioner, not limiting it." 

"That's why I returned the Purple Cloud Art to the original form without the improvements your family unnecessarily added and found something interesting."

"You can take my action as disrespectful, but in its purest form, the Purple Cloud Art is Divine Art!" 

"I modified the Purple Cloud Art and created a brand new Profound Art with the same principles." 

"Y-You..." Yun Canghai was speechless.

"OH MY GOD! BOSS, YOU'RE A GOD!" Yun Che finally recovered from his injury and bootlicked over Yu Long's achievement. He couldn't help but praise from the deepest part of his heart.

Yu Long didn't bother to speak more nonsense and pulled a book from his spatial storage, throwing it to Yun Canghai.

"Try it. Your pride is high, but take this as my little gift. Think of it as a reward for the Four Great Sacred Grounds' destruction."

Yun Canghai snorted and caught the book, "Hmph." 

"W-Who wants this book anyway." 

"..." Yu Long.

Old fart, don't act like a tsundere girl.

It's disgusting. 

Yun Canghai rubbed the book and read the title, "The Way of Thunderer." 

"Thunderer? As in the god who tamed and wielded thunder? Not a bad name for Profound Art." 

"It sounds menacing and heroic." 

"Let me see..."

Upon opening the book, Yun Canghai's focus is 'literally' drawn into the Way of Thunderer's depth and profoundness. Yu Long didn't just make a whole new Profound Art based on the Purple Cloud Art's purest form.

He upgraded it! 

The principle of this technique is simple yet strict at the same time.

Using the Way of Thunderer, one would turn into a living battery of energy charge or pure lightning qi. The pure lightning qi would accumulate and condense into the lightning core, making one the true Thunderer. 

Yun Canghai sat on the ground and started breathing based on the Way of Thunderer's method, similar to Purple Cloud Art but with more deep variation. 

Yun Canghai's profound energy melted in his veins, creating an electric spark that spread all over his body.

A 'normal' person would have gotten fried, but Yun Canghai possessed Primordial Devil's bloodline and Profound Handle. He was immune to immense electric charge, except Lightning Tribulation.

"Lightning Core..." Yun Canghai slowly flowed the electric spark into his heart. 

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The drum sounds appear from Yun Canghai's chest as his heart pounded rapidly.

"What happens to Gramps?" Yun Che worriedly asks.

Yu Long crossed his arms and answered, "The Way of Thunderer's 1st Stage." 

"Drum of Thunderer. One will consense lightning barrier around the heart and become a shield for Thunderer's heart, preventing any mental technique targeted to one's heart." 

"At the same time, the Thunderer will also obtain incredible power from their latent potential, drawing it from their heart and marrow bones." 

ZZZT!

ZZZT!

Yun Canghai's hair stood up, flaring with electricity. 

Cyan-colored lightning arcs appeared all over his body. 

His eyes are glowing white, showing no pupils.

Finally, a thunder-like mark appeared on Yun Canghai's forehead and lit up with cyan light. 

BOOOOOOM!!

Yu Long laughed, "Hehe, what a good lab rat." 

"The Way of Thunderer is a huge success." 

"We can start the second step." 

"Yun Che, you're next." 

"Eh, but Boss..." Yun Che was startled by Yu Long's wicked expression.

Yu Long grabbed Yun Che's shoulders, "Don't you want to get stronger?"

"Don't you want to meet your biological parents faster?" 

"Also, don't you want to get my approval?" Yu Long picked the Way of Thunderer book and shoved it into Yun Che's chest, "So take the damn book and train!" 

"O-Okay..." Yun Che nodded weakly. 

Even then, Yu Long's little speech is very effective because a spark lit up in Yun Che's eyes.

Aaaah, it's so good to have a good and willing rab lab.
