C1 Power of Thunder

"Next!"

A cold, emotionless voice came from behind a large table.

A thin youth slowly walked forward with heavy steps.

From his appearance, this youth looked to be around thirteen or fourteen years old. On his fair face, his straight and handsome eyebrows were thrust straight into his temples. His eyes were as clear and clear as a black gemstone in a pool of jade water. Although he was born a man, he had a delicate and pretty look to him.

"It's Zuo Feng. This guy is here again."

"His skin is really thick. Even a cripple like him is asking for money."

"This fellow's cultivation has plummeted, and his shamelessness has increased day by day."

The laughter and ear-piercing taunts from the surroundings were no longer able to calm the anger of the youth in front of him. His previous envy and jealousy seemed to have made these people even more mean.

The teenager called Zuo Feng sighed in his heart. These few days were the happiest days for all the youngsters in the village, but it was a form of torture for him.

Training the body at the age of six broke through the barrier all those years ago. Eight years old, strong body level one, nine years old, ten years old, strong body level three, twelve years old, strong body level four. This kind of monstrous speed of breakthrough was achieved by him one by one. Until a year ago, when that incident completely shattered the halo above his head.

"Trash like you still have the face to come and ask for an exception. Since you have no contribution to make to the village, you are just a worm that only eats for free."

Behind the wide wooden table, a youth slowly raised his head. The words he said were sharper than the others. The young man had a tall and straight figure with fair skin, and his appearance could be considered handsome and extraordinary. However, the thin eyes that he used to look up gave him a sense of cunning.

"The village rules state that anyone who has reached the age of ten may receive monthly orders. If you don't want to give it to me, I'll have to go to the village chief for it. "

Hearing Zuo Feng's words, the youth behind the table changed his expression slightly and then sneered.

"Hmph, the day after tomorrow will be the village's three year old coming of age ceremony. After the coming of age ceremony, not only is there no monthly rule, trash like you will definitely have to work hard. "Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll definitely find someone to take care of you."

As he said the word "take care of", the meaning of his words became more serious. At the same time, he grabbed a small bag on the table and threw it out. Although it seemed unintentional, the bag that he had thrown out flew out at an oblique angle, spilling out more than half of the money inside the bag.

Among the youths standing in line, there was someone who was the first to throw a coin at the ground, followed by someone who continuously threw coins at the ground.

The anger that had been suppressed in Zuo Feng's heart for a long time was burning non-stop. He tightened his fist and turned around to glare at the youth behind the table.

"Teng Fang, don't go too far."

Zuo Feng's voice was ice-cold, and there was a slight tremble in it. Even though his cultivation was completely gone, he was not blind. He could clearly see that after the other party threw out the money bag, he looked at the crowd with a sinister smile.

"Oh, our War God is going to explode. "Why, do you still think that I'm that cultivating genius, I can even sneeze now for fear of hurting you."

Zuo Feng's face was so cold that it seemed as if he was about to drip water. He really wanted to rush over and punch his opponent in the face, but in the end, he could only squeeze out a breath from between his teeth. He had no cultivation now, so even if the other party remained motionless for him to beat, he would still be the one injured. The difference between a level three body strengthening martial artist and an ordinary person was like that between an adult and a child.

He silently bent his body and picked up the coin on the ground that belonged to him and put it into his bag. His ears were filled with the mocking and ridiculing sounds of the people around him.

"There will be other village heads watching the coming of age ceremony the day after tomorrow. I don't want trash like you to come out and embarrass us all."

Just as Zuo Feng turned around to leave, Teng Fang Fang's commanding voice came from behind him. Zuo Feng's body stopped for a moment before he quickly left. Staying here for even a moment longer was the greatest test of his endurance.

The mountain breeze whistled over, blowing the youth's long hair back in a mess. The thin figure swayed in the gale, but his eyes, which seemed like the pitch-black night sky, stared fixedly into the distance. The youth who had been standing there for more than two hours was Zuo Feng, who had been humiliated all day.

After each month, Zuo Feng would come to stand alone for a period of time. He would not go home until his mood had calmed down. He did not want his emotions to affect his family.

boom rumble rumble *

Lightning arced through the thick clouds, and soon after, the dull thunder seemed to show the might of the heavens as it rolled over and enveloped the land.

Thunder was like a big stone thrown into a calm lake, lifting up memories that had been settled for a long time like sand.

On that day, Zuo Feng was cultivating in the waterfall under the cliff until late at night, as usual. Just as he was about to drag his tired body away, he saw two ghost-like figures flash past the pool, and his intuition told him to immediately retreat back into the waterfall behind him.

The two figures stopped at the edge of the pool. They seemed to be talking, and other than the loud sound of the waterfall, Zuo Feng could not hear anything else. Only when the two of them had departed in different directions did Zuo Feng slowly walk out of the waterfall and come to the edge of the pool.

Two warriors with such deep cultivations were meeting here only a few miles away from the village in secret. There must be something that could not be exposed. He decided to inform his master of this matter. However, before he could even take half a step, he felt a slight chill from his back to his chest. He lowered his head to look at the tip of a sword that had already appeared on his chest.

He tried to turn around, but someone kicked him hard in the back. Then, his entire body flew up into the air and landed heavily in the pool of water.

This kick not only sent Zuo Feng flying, but also sent a surge of spiritual energy into his body. He tried to resist the tearing pain as he turned his head to see a black figure disappearing into the dark forest.

Zuo Feng could tell from the figure that he was one of the two people who just left. His self-blame was now useless. His body gradually sank into the pool and his consciousness started to fade due to the loss of life.

"Boom!"

A clap of thunder exploded above the pool. Almost at the same time, a thick bolt of silver lightning fell from the sky and into the pool. The electric current streaked across Zuo Feng's body, restoring him to a temporary state of consciousness.

He could vaguely see a light blue ball of light flashing not too far away from his body. Although he wasn't sure what it was, his intuition told him that it was the only hope of survival.

Using all of his strength, Zuo Feng struggled to swim to the top of the ball of light. When he was a bit closer to Zuo Feng, he could see that it was a ball of light that was close to the shape of a drop of water. As he reached out to grab the ball of light, he finally closed his eyes.

When he woke up again, the wounds on his body were strangely healed. Regardless of whether it was the sword wound that had pierced him or the damage caused by the spirit energy that had entered his body, it had miraculously healed without leaving any other wounds, except for a strange, teardrop-shaped protrusion on his chest.

He let out a long sigh and gradually retracted his thoughts. Zuo Feng's gaze slowly fell on the pool at the bottom of the cliff and muttered to himself.

"It's been a year. I remember the same thing from that night. Even though I managed to escape death, my cultivation has been exhausted and I am unable to cultivate anymore. Could this be the price of surviving? "

Cultivating the body by absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, after refining it and storing it in the Qi Sea, he would then follow the cultivation technique to transform the body. However, after that special experience, Zuo Feng found that his cultivation base was completely gone. It was as if a heavy shackle had been placed on his meridians, preventing them from absorbing a single strand of spirit energy.

Cold rain fell on Zuo Feng's face, but he seemed to not have noticed at all. After the coming of age ceremony the day after tomorrow, he would lose the qualification to receive the monthly rule. Without a cultivation base, he could only receive the shallowest of jobs.

"Heavens! Did you not kill me because you wanted me to endure this endless humiliation?"

Zuo Feng's angry roar spread far and wide, and other than the biting wind, there was only the mournful sound of rain. This past year, he had received nothing but contempt and ridicule. However, his body that was not even comparable to an ordinary person's body had become even more painful and torturous.

The rain gradually grew heavier, and the sky and the ground seemed to merge together as the rain fell. Thick arcs of lightning swam across the clouds. Occasionally, a streak of lightning would cut across the sky and strike down.

Zuo Feng seemed to be venting his anger as he raised both of his hands up high, facing the torrential storm as he stood on top of the cliff.

"If you want me to live so that I can experience this endless pain, then take this life back."

His hoarse shout was drowned out by the rumbling thunder.

Suddenly, an extremely huge bolt of lightning descended, heading in the direction of Zuo Feng. He subconsciously opened his eyes wide. But soon after, a slight curve appeared on the corner of his mouth. The curve slowly expanded until it turned into a brilliant smile. That smile carried a sense of relief and joy.

"Crack!"

An enormous bolt of lightning pierced through his body. From afar, it was as if Zuo Feng had turned into a glowing object. The images of his parents and sister appeared in his mind one by one. These were the three people he was most concerned about in this world.

Time slowly passed. Zuo Feng was surprised to find that not only did he not die immediately, the pain in his body was still persisting, but his consciousness became clearer. The pain of the electric current flowing through his body made Zuo Feng's delicate face even more sinister.

Just as he was suffering from this heart-wrenching pain, the droplet shaped protrusion on his chest seemed to have a life of its own. At first, this wave was very weak, almost undetectable. However, each wave was more powerful than the last. Each wave was spreading further and further. Wherever this mysterious wave passed by, the pain in his body would lessen a little, until the wave spread throughout his body.

Zuo Feng was in a state of shock and shock. He couldn't tell if this power came from the bulge in his body or from the huge lightning descending from the sky. It was as if the two were originally one, but were fused together through one's own body.

What made him inexplicably surprised was that his body gradually changed at this moment. Waves of pure spiritual energy seemed to be coming out from every part of his body and gathering in his aura sea.

Zuo Feng's eyes were still tightly shut, and the light around him gradually faded away. He was still standing straight, and his aura continued to rise. The Body Strengthening Barrier, at its initial, first, and second stage, climbed all the way to the third stage before stopping. The energy in his body was like a sponge absorbing water as it slowly retreated to his chest.

Zuo Feng suddenly opened his eyes. At that moment, lightning flashed in his eyes like two sharp flashes. However, he did not notice it at all.

"I've returned. My body has finally recovered."

An excited and joyous expression appeared on his face. Although he did not regain his strength as a Body Strengthening Stage Level 4 from one year ago, he could clearly feel that the shackles in his body had been broken.
