Chapter 3: The Unthinkable Change

  Staring blankly at the broken big tree, Xie Ao Yu couldn't quite believe it, he reached out to touch it, confirming that this big tree had indeed broken.

  Still can't be sure even if it's like this.

  Although he was crazy about cultivating his body, he also had a reputation for being self-aware. His strength couldn't even defeat Xie Zhe, who was only at the lower level of Qi Refining stage, let alone easily uproot such a large tree. He walked to another tree.

  This tree is nearly one meter in diameter as well.

  Before making a move, Xie Ao Yu first inspected the large tree to make sure it was intact and undamaged. Only then did he take action, but he didn't use his full strength, instead using only about half of his power, just like before.

  One punch is all it takes.

  "Bang!"

  The big tree swayed violently.

  Then he saw the place where his fist hit making a "cracking" sound, and it actually broke again in the middle. Xie Ao Yu looked at his right hand, feeling somewhat **.

  "How could it be? How could it be?" Xie Ao Yu was shocked beyond words. "Could it be that three-colored sphere?"

  He recalled carefully.

  Just this afternoon, before he went to Wolf's Fang Mountain, his strength was still far from reaching this level. From Wolf's Fang Mountain until now, the only change he encountered was that three-colored sphere.

  Xie Ao Yu's eyes shone brightly.

  A wave of wild joy came over me.

  Strength, this is purely physical strength!

  Xie Ao Yu suddenly ran towards a boulder that weighed around 500-600 catties, something he wouldn't have been able to move previously, at most only slightly.

  With expectation, with doubt, and with a hint of worry.

  He stretched out his hand to push the stone block that was nearly six hundred pounds in weight, with a slight effort.

  "Gurgle... gurgle..."

  That stone was actually rolled out by him.

  Xie Ao Yu ran over, stretched out his hand to grab the stone, and with a sudden burst of strength, he actually lifted it up. What surprised him even more was that he felt the stone was as light as if it only weighed a dozen or so kilograms. This sudden exertion almost caused him to arch his back, and how could this not leave him feeling shocked?

  After the shock, Xie Ao Yu muttered to himself: "How much power did that three-colored orb grant me?"

  He looked around everywhere.

  He found that there was only one huge stone weighing nearly 700 pounds around him to verify his strength, so he went over and tried it out.

  The result is still easy to lift.

  Xie Ao Yu's eyes sparkled with excitement, "Why don't I try the Thunderbolt Body Refining Technique again?"

  Thinking of the Divine Thunder Body Refining Technique, Xie Ao Yu was both excited and worried. After all, the Divine Thunder Body Refining Technique could be said to be a friend's parting gift to Xie Qian before he passed away, not wanting his creation to be buried with him.

  Originally, this friend's physical training was extremely powerful, so the Xie family had also intended to cultivate it. However, for some reason, the scroll was very difficult to open. It wasn't until later that they discovered the scroll had a verification mechanism set by its creator to test whether someone was qualified to cultivate it, and even Xie Qian couldn't open it.

  Xie Ao Yu had also tried it before and couldn't open it.

  It wasn't until now that Xie Ao Yu discovered changes in his body did he naturally think of trying again, and so he entered the Xie family's Dou Qi Pavilion.

  Most of the advanced martial arts in Douji Pavilion were brought back by Xie Qian from outside, some were obtained through killing people, some were obtained through opportunities, and some were given by others.

  This also includes many physical exercises.

  The elder guarding the Fighting Skill Pavilion saw Xie Ao Yu and didn't stop him. Previously, Xie Ao Yu often came to the Fighting Skill Pavilion to choose Body Cultivation Techniques, so they were already used to it.

  Entering the Douji Pavilion, Xie Ao Yu went straight to the water cabinet where the body-refining technique was stored.

  There were countless scrolls placed above.

  Xie Ao Yu arrived at the first row on the left, reached out and picked up the first scroll, which was indeed the scroll recording the Divine Thunder Refining Body Technique. His heart still had a bit of tension.

  To know if there is a bolt of lightning inside this scroll.

  If it's not suitable for cultivation, the lightning will shoot out and numb the whole body, making it extremely uncomfortable. However, thinking of the championship prize of the mainland youth tournament, and then thinking of the changes brought about by the three-color sphere, if he doesn't try it out, he really can't bear it, so he grabs the scroll and pulls it with force.

  "Rustling sounds..."

  A flash of lightning burst out from within the scroll.

  Xie Ao Yu's eyes narrowed, staring at the electric light, and saw that the electric light directly entered his arms. At the same time, his chest felt hot, and the current quickly gathered in his chest.

  Then it disappeared without a trace.

  "It's it again!" Xie Ao Yu exclaimed in surprise.

  At first, the three-color sphere entered his body, and he felt it flowing through every part of his body, finally gathering at the chest position. Now, with the change in electric current, it once again verified the magic of the three-color sphere.

  Xie Ao Yu unrolled the scroll.

  There were more than ten electric lights entering his body.

  And even the smallest of these electric lights is as thick as a thumb, deep purple in color, almost turning black, showing how terrifying it is to contain so much electricity.

  But all these lights converged on his chest.

  Xie Ao Yu also unrolled the scroll.

  Divine Thunder Body Tempering Technique!

  Inside the scroll are detailed illustrations and texts, introducing each posture for cultivation, and recording all possible problems that may arise during each practice.

  "I... will... cultivate!" Xie Ao Yu said word by word, tightly grasping the Divine Thunder Cultivation Technique.

  He put away the Divine Thunder Body Refining Technique and left the Dou Qi Pavilion.

  Back to the back mountain again.

  Xie Ao Yu unfolded the scroll once again.

  Who knows, this time when it unfolded, another burst of lightning was released from the scroll, and it was even more severe than the previous one.

  They all converged on his chest.

  "Could it be that the thunder within this scroll is actually a way to temper one's body, rather than simply verifying whether one can cultivate?" Xie Ao Yu muttered.

  He didn't overthink it and instead referred to the Thunderbolt Body Refining Technique.

  He let out a long breath after finishing reading it all at once.

  "What an incredible Thunder God Body Tempering Technique, the final refinement is actually going to be struck by a hundred thunderbolts, no wonder, no wonder it's called the Thunder God Body Tempering Technique." Xie Ao Yu exclaimed.

  Heavenly thunder is so powerful that one strike can split a person in two.

  What kind of physique is it that can withstand a hundred heavenly thunderclaps?

  Xie Ao Yu's determination to cultivate became even more resolute.

  Ma Song immediately entered a state of cultivation.

  The initial practitioners of the Thunderbolt Body Refining Technique aren't particularly abnormal, they just need to walk into a waterfall and let the water crash against their body, after which they cultivate in the torrent.

  The basic training is almost all done in water.

  According to the introduction of Shen Lei Lian Ti Shu, practicing in water can not only enhance physical fitness but also improve flexibility. The main purpose of Lian Ti Shu is not to make the body rigid, but to have a certain degree of flexibility.

  There is also a waterfall in the back mountain.

  Xie Ao Yu then walked in.

  This waterfall is very large and also the first water source for drinking in the entire Langya City, as can be imagined, its flow rate is huge, Xie Ao Yu took off his clothes and walked up.

  Just as he walked up, a torrent rushed down. This torrent, Xie Ao Yu managed to withstand it easily, but his feet had already been made extremely slippery by the waterfall's years of erosion. He lost his footing and with a "splash", fell into the water.

  The water was flowing too fast, and by the time he surfaced, he had already been washed away for over a hundred meters.

  Xie Ao Yu climbed up the shore, came back, and walked up again.

  Splashing

  Fell into the water again.

  Xie Ao Yu started his endless shuttle run.
