Wan Hongzhuang
Chapter 23 Legend of the Thunder Emperor
Wan Lei became more courageous as he was repeatedly thwarted. His injuries worsened, but he grew more excited. The thunderous power within him directly broke through the constraints of the seventh level of the Initial Force Realm, elevating his cultivation to the eighth level.
Subsequently, the lightning tribulation became increasingly fierce, even terrifying Wan Hongxin.
However, Wan Lei was like an unyielding warrior. Each time he was knocked down, he would stand up again, roar at the sky, and welcome the cleansing of the lightning once more.
Soon, all nine lightning tribulations had passed, and Wan Lei's aura became even more formidable.
He reached the peak of the eighth level of the Initial Force Realm.
Moreover, it wasn't just that. He discovered that even his body had become much harder and stronger.
He used to be fair-skinned and handsome, with delicate skin, but now his body was like iron, his skin darker than before, with faint thunder patterns on it.
Wan Lei mobilized the thunder power within him, filling his skin with it, and all the thunder patterns on his body lit up.
Just then, a large hand grabbed his arm, and the electric current on his arm instantly entered the large hand.
"Well, that's really good. Not only has your cultivation improved, but even your body is full of thunder power."
It was Wan Hongxin who spoke. He released Wan Lei's arm. He could clearly feel the power of the electric current just now.
However, with his cultivation, the small Wan Lei couldn't hurt him at all.
"It has indeed increased a lot, but what's going on with these thunder patterns? Can my body also store thunder power and discharge electricity?"
Wan Lei asked in confusion.
Wan Hongxin stared at the thunder patterns on Wan Lei's body, studying them for a long time. He searched his mind, but couldn't remember ever hearing of someone whose whole body could discharge electricity.
Generally, thunder-attribute cultivators use magical treasures or use thunder power in their palms to release electricity. He had never heard of someone like Wan Lei, whose whole body was like lightning.
Suddenly, Wan Hongxin's expression changed slightly, and his pupils shrank sharply, as if he had remembered something extremely terrible.
"Xiao Hang, let's go back first. Tomorrow morning will be your Heavenly Tribulation. At the same time, you must bring your father here. We will wait for you here.
Remember, only bring your father. You don't want too many people to know about Lei'er's secret."
Wan Hongxin said to Sui Xiaohang with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, Uncle. After the last Heavenly Tribulation, I ordered the guards to keep their mouths shut. Even my dad doesn't know that I survived the Heavenly Tribulation because of Lei-shao (young master Lei)."
Sui Xiaohang patted his chest and guaranteed.
After the three returned to Nanfu City, they separated. Wan Hongxin took Wan Lei home.
After returning home, Wan Hongxin invited the City Lord Wan Zhentian. After the City Lord arrived, he closed the door and ordered the guards to guard it strictly.
Wan Lei felt that Wan Hongxin had something important to say to him, so he didn't ask any more questions and sat there quietly, listening.
Wan Hongxin briefly told Wan Zhentian about Wan Lei's matter. Wan Zhentian's expression instantly became extremely horrified, and then he looked at Wan Lei with a look of surprise and joy.
"Hey, can't you two just say what's going on directly? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Wan Lei said with a chuckle.
Wan Hongxin said earnestly:
"Lei'er, we suspect that it's not your hammer that can absorb lightning and transfer it to your body, but that your body can directly absorb thunder power."
Wan Lei was shocked when he heard this. Could it be that they had discovered the matter of his Thunder God Soul? Damn it, he knew he couldn't hide it with the Thunder God's Hammer.
What to do? Should he confess? Or run away directly? Or stall for time and run away at night?
Wan Lei's mind was full of thoughts, one idea after another, but on the surface, he was still dull.
Wan Hongxin thought he was stunned and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Because your physique is very special. You are very likely to have a congenital Thunder Body."
What? Congenital Thunder Body? How come I don't know about such a big thing? It's obviously my Thunder God Soul that can absorb thunder power, okay? Don't you know how useless this kid's body is?
"Ah? Ah! Congenital Thunder Body, is... is it? I don't know, haha..."
Wan Lei laughed drily, secretly thinking that the other party had not noticed that he was a time-traveler, but mistakenly thought that he had a Congenital Thunder Body.
But… is it really just a misunderstanding?
Wan Zhentian also nodded and said, "Yes, Lei'er is definitely a Congenital Thunder Body. In the past, Lei'er didn't have any cultivation, not because he was lazy, but because he absorbed spiritual energy slowly, but absorbed thunder power faster.
We didn't discover it before, until Lei'er was struck by the Heavenly Tribulation, then he began to reveal the vigor and power of the Congenital Thunder Body. We all wronged Lei'er before."
Whatever, you can say whatever you want, as long as you don't find out about my secrets. But the Congenital Thunder Body doesn't seem to be a big deal. With the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation, one can also temper a Thunder Body.
"Lei'er, do you know how heaven-defying this Congenital Thunder Body is?"
Wan Zhentian asked with a serious expression.
"I don't know, but it sounds very powerful from the name."
Wan Lei pretended to be a good boy.
"Then have you heard of… the Thunder Emperor from fifty thousand years ago?"
When Wan Zhentian said the words "Thunder Emperor," his eyes were full of reverence.
"Never heard of it."
Wan Lei shook his head directly.
"You… alas, forget it, it's normal that you don't know since you haven't cultivated before. He is a well-known figure in the Thunder Wind Realm."
Wan Zhentian said solemnly, "Fifty thousand years ago, he had just started cultivating and was just an inconspicuous member of a small family. But when he cultivated, he discovered that he was a Congenital Thunder Body, and his soul was also thunder-attributed.
He had a natural, extraordinary control over lightning, which was simply like cheating in this Thunder Wind Realm, where thunder is supreme.
After that, his rise was really like cheating. Within the same realm, he swept away all opponents, and he could often fight across realms and remain undefeated.
In this way, he rose all the way, sweeping across everything. At that time, the major forces of the Thunder Wind Realm regarded him as a thorn in their side and wanted to get rid of him quickly.
The major forces sent people to chase him, but he was invincible. He escaped into the Thunder Star Sea, and when he came out again, he was already a Great Ascension Realm expert.
At that time, although there were a few Tribulation Transcending Realm experts in the Thunder Wind Realm, they were no match for him at all.
After he cultivated to the Tribulation Transcending Realm, he led his disciples and wiped out all the forces that had chased him in the past with the force of a storm sweeping away fallen leaves.
After that battle, only the Kaitian Sword Sect, the Yin Yang Sect, and the Kuilian Sect remained among the major sects in the Thunder Wind Realm.
The Kaitian Sword Sect was the number one sect in the Thunder Wind Realm at that time, with a transcendent status. It disdained to chase the Thunder Emperor when he was still weak, so the Thunder Emperor did not attack it and allowed it to be passed down.
The Yin Yang Sect was the sect where he had cultivated in the past. He was clear about his gratitude and grudges, and he later gave a lot of rewards to the Yin Yang Sect.
As for the Kuilian Sect, their status was even more special. They only accepted female disciples, and the Thunder Emperor's wife came from the Kuilian Sect, so it was even more impossible for him to attack the Kuilian Sect.
He later founded the Thunder Emperor Palace. At that time, his saying, 'The Thunder Emperor is greater than the heavens, in a green robe, my name is Wan,' made all the major forces submit."
