Chapter 235: Thunder Dao True Intent! Becoming Thunder

With every step, a faint flicker of electricity sparked under his feet, allowing his body to make subtle shifts with smaller movements and greater speed.

Time flew by as he remained engrossed in his focused Cultivation.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

When Lin Yi once again easily dodged a dense wave of red light attacks, he clearly felt his bodily control and footwork reach a new level.

His *Thunder Light Step* had already passed the initial stage and entered the Basic Realm!

Now, the red light of the fourth stage was as slow and harmless as a child’s game to him, posing no threat whatsoever.

‘Time to level up!’ Battle intent surged in Lin Yi’s eyes. “System, switch to the fifth stage!”

The red light reappeared, its quantity, speed, and trickiness instantly jumping a whole level.

The pressure washed over him like a tide, but instead of being alarmed, Lin Yi was overjoyed!

The greater the pressure, the more active the insights from the Thunder Bone Spiritual Essence in his body became, and the more smoothly his *Thunder Light Step* flowed.

He weaved through the even denser beams of light.

Every thrilling dodge deepened his understanding of the Body Technique by another degree.

「In the days that followed.」

Lin Yi completely immersed himself in a frantic Cultivation rhythm.

By day, he was rooted in the Body Technique room, tempering his *Thunder Light Step* amidst the dense red light of the fifth, sixth, and even seventh stages. His figure moved like lightning, leaving trails of afterimages in the small space.

At night, back in his dorm, he used his Mosquito Avatar to replenish his Qi and Blood, recovering from the consumption of his high-intensity training.

At the same time, he guided the excess Qi and Blood to slowly but surely temper the remaining bones in his lower limbs.

Day after day, the routine was monotonous yet fulfilling.

Unwittingly, ten days flew by.

「At this time.」

It was now Lin Yi’s twenty-sixth day in the training camp.

The fifty-day training camp was now silently past its halfway point.

「During this time.」

The training camp held its second class placement assessment.

Lin Yi couldn’t even be bothered to go to the combat room.

He knew full well that he couldn’t defeat the ninth stage’s mechanical puppet yet, so going would just be a waste of precious points.

And relying on his test scores from half a month ago, which had shocked the entire camp, he still held the top spot in Class A with an absolute, uncontested advantage.

「On the night of the tenth day.」

「The Body Technique Room.」

The crimson light beams of the eighth stage lit up once more!

Their number, speed, and tricky angles far surpassed any previous stage!

The entire room seemed to be submerged in a raging sea of red light!

And Lin Yi’s figure was weaving through this very sea of light!

‘Thunder Light Step!’

he roared in his mind, activating the combat technique with all his might.

Sparks of electricity flickered under his feet as his footwork became profound and unpredictable.

At times he shifted sideways like a ghost, at others he glided like a fish, and then he would leap like an agile ape.

Each movement was accompanied by a faint crackle of electricity as he narrowly, perilously avoided one lethal red beam after another.

His movements were agile and swift, filled with the aesthetic beauty of power and speed.

Sweat had long since blurred his vision.

His muscles were exhausted from the prolonged, high-intensity exertion.

But his Spirit was highly focused.

His eyes saw nothing but the incoming red beams of light!

‘Hold on!’

‘Just a little longer!’

Ten minutes!

Fifteen minutes!

Sixteen minutes!

The Qi and Blood in his body were rapidly being consumed, and the affinity granted by the Thunder Bone Spiritual Essence was starting to feel sluggish under the intense strain.

Finally!

A red beam shot out from an incredibly bizarre angle, like a viper that had long lain in wait. In the instant his old momentum was spent and new strength had yet to be generated, it deftly struck him in the ribs!

BEEP!

The red light that filled the room vanished in an instant, as if it had never been there.

A mechanical voice coldly announced:

“Cadet Lin Yi. Current result: Eighth stage survival time: 22 minutes and 36 seconds!”

“HUFF… HUFF…”

Lin Yi gasped for breath, sweat dripping from his chin onto the floor with a soft PATTER.

He activated his Kidney Water Spiritual Essence to clear the soreness from his muscles, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

’22 minutes and 36 seconds… Only about eight minutes off the mark! I’m close!’

Here in the Body Technique room, you only needed to last for thirty minutes to pass the assessment.

His progress over these ten days could be called divine speed!

Day one: *Thunder Light Step* reached the Basic Realm, easily clearing the fourth stage.

Day two: Reached the Adept Realm, successfully passing the fifth stage.

Day five: Reached the Micro Realm, passing the sixth stage.

Day nine: Reached the Control Level, passing the seventh stage.

And today, he had lasted for over twenty minutes in the eighth stage!

He was only a single step away from clearing it!

All of this was thanks to the terrifying affinity for the Thunder Law brought by his Thunder Bone Spiritual Essence.

It allowed his *Thunder Light Step* Cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.

‘My Qi and Blood is almost bottomed out. I need to go back and replenish it.’

Lin Yi felt waves of weakness wash over him and decided to end his bitter training for the day.

He dragged his exhausted but strangely powerful body toward the door.

The alloy door slid open silently.

The moment he stepped out of the Body Technique room,

the door to an adjacent room happened to open as well.

A tall, aloof figure walked out—it was Lu Xue.

She seemed to have just finished her training, and fine beads of sweat still dotted her temples.

Seeing Lin Yi, a clear flash of surprise crossed her eyes. “Lin Yi?”

Her gaze, with a hint of urgency, subconsciously shot toward the electronic screen on the door of the room Lin Yi had just left.

[Cadet: Lin Yi]

[Current Stage: Eighth Stage]

[Result: 22 minutes and 36 seconds!]

“22 minutes and 36 seconds?!” Lu Xue’s cool voice suddenly rose in pitch, filled with incredulous shock. She whipped her head around to look at Lin Yi. “You… your Cultivation speed… is just unbelievably fast!”

How long has it been?

‘Ten days ago, he was still struggling with the fourth and fifth stages!’
