Chapter 237: Chapter 109: True Intent of the Thunder Dao! Embodying Thunder

One minute... two minutes... three minutes...

Sweat had long since soaked through his Martial Arts Uniform.

The fierce wind kicked up by his high-speed movements then evaporated it into a white mist.

His muscles groaned faintly under the extreme strain.

But Lin Yi’s Spirit was more focused than ever before.

He was completely immersed in the wondrous rhythm of ’becoming Thunder’.

Half an hour slipped by quietly.

"BEEP!!"

A synthesized, emotionless voice rang out:

[Student Lin Yi, has passed the Tier Eight test. Points awarded: +4000!]

He passed the test!

However.

Lin Yi’s figure didn’t pause for a moment!

It was as if he hadn’t heard the notification.

He continued to weave and dodge through the increasingly frenzied rain of red light!

His state was at a mysterious peak.

A sliver of enlightenment was brewing wildly in his heart!

Forty minutes...

Fifty minutes...

Sixty minutes...

Time blurred amidst the extreme evasion.

Just as the seventieth minute was about to end—

BOOM!

An incomparably ferocious aura suddenly erupted from within Lin Yi!

The surface of his body was instantly covered in a layer of deep and dazzling purple light.

Dense, almost tangible arcs of purple lightning danced and slithered madly across his skin.

They emitted a CRACKLE that made one’s scalp tingle!

An essence belonging to Thunder spread out!

Third Grade Thunder Light Intent—achieved!

"I did it!"

A wave of immense ecstasy instantly washed over his tightly-strung nerves.

Lin Yi felt his body suddenly lighten, as if he had broken free from invisible shackles!

The red lights of Tier Eight, once as fast as lightning and suffocatingly oppressive, now in his eyes...

...seemed to have slowed down!

No!

It wasn’t that the red lights had slowed down!

It was his speed that, under the blessing of the Thunder Light Intent, had taken a qualitative leap!

He had reached a whole new level!

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Inside the training room, Lin Yi’s figure completely transformed into streaks of elusive purple light!

Each flicker was like a teleport, allowing him to weave freely and effortlessly through the gaps in the dense red light.

The Tier Eight test that had once forced him to give his all.

Now seemed so clumsy and slow!

’So this is the power of Thunder Light Intent? So fast! How exhilarating!’

Lin Yi’s heart surged with heroic pride.

"This Tier Eight is now child’s play! Stop!"

The red lights stopped at his command.

Feeling the surging power of Thunder and his explosive new speed within him, an even stronger thought rose in his mind:

’Now that I’ve just formed the Thunder Light Intent and my speed has multiplied, I wonder... could I take a shot at Tier Nine?’

Without a trace of hesitation, the fighting spirit in Lin Yi’s eyes blazed.

He faced the Body Technique room’s control hub and shouted in a deep voice:

"Begin the Tier Nine test!"

"Tier Nine difficulty initiating. Please confirm you are ready! 3... 2... 1... Begin!"

The synthesized voice rang out.

BUZZ!!!

Scarlet laser beams—denser, faster, and with more cunning and bizarre trajectories than in Tier Eight—poured out frantically like a bursting flood from all directions, above and below, at a frequency and speed several times greater than before!

The entire room was instantly filled with blinding red light.

Just over ten days ago.

Lin Yi couldn’t even last a single second in this tier, and was defeated instantly.

But today—

’Thunder Light Intent!’

Lin Yi roared in his mind.

SHHFF!

The purple lightning on his body abruptly blazed with intensity!

His figure vanished completely from the spot.

He left only elongated purple afterimages that shot rapidly through the web of red light!

Fast! Incredibly fast!

The laser beams, enough to make an ordinary Fourth-Grade Martial Artist despair.

...were dodged by him time and time again, by a hair’s breadth!

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH! BANG!

Pushing his Body Technique to the absolute limit, Lin Yi persisted in this dance of death for a full twenty minutes!

Unfortunately, a beam fired from an exceptionally bizarre angle finally grazed the corner of his clothes.

[Student Lin Yi, lasted 20 minutes and 25 seconds in Tier Nine. Test failed!]

The cold notification tone sounded.

"Twenty minutes..."

Lin Yi stopped, panting slightly. There was little frustration in his eyes; instead, they shone with an even greater brilliance.

’Just comprehending Thunder Light Intent isn’t enough to truly pass Tier Nine! This difficulty level is insane, just as I thought!’

At this moment, his score in the Body Technique room had already leaped to the top of the training camp’s leaderboard!

The Thunder Light Intent he comprehended had already surpassed Lu Xue’s prized Gale Intent in terms of pure speed.

But there was still a gap to fully conquering Tier Nine.

"Again! Begin Tier Nine!"

Lin Yi wasn’t the least bit discouraged; on the contrary, it ignited an even stronger fighting spirit within him.

The red lights lit up once more!

This time, Lin Yi wasn’t just executing the Thunder Light Step.

With a single thought.

While moving at high speed.

...his entire aura changed abruptly!

His spine straightened like a great dragon, and the power in his limbs and bones instantly gathered and connected—

In the middle of his evasions, he had actually turned himself into a peerless long spear, poised and ready to strike!

Body like a spear, intent like its point!

Now that he had achieved Thunder Light Intent, he had a profound understanding of the true meaning of "speed."

This was the perfect time to strike while the iron was hot.

It was the best opportunity to comprehend the Fast Gun Intent, which also pursued ultimate speed!

The two had points of commonality to begin with.

By comprehending one, he could grasp the other.

His comprehension was bound to be twice as effective with half the effort!

Lin Yi used his body as a spear and activated his Thunder Light Intent once more!

On top of his original speed, he forcibly raised it another notch!

He was no longer just dodging.

Every movement, every turn, carried the sharpness and piercing feel of spearmanship.

It was as if he intended to pierce through the incoming red lights themselves!

Failure!

Failure!

Still failure!

The terrifying pressure of Tier Nine was like a colossal wave, slapping him back time and again.

But Lin Yi’s eyes only grew brighter, like burning stars!

With every failure.

...his understanding of the Fast Gun Intent deepened.

With every restart.

...the time he lasted grew just a little bit longer!

Finally.

After being forced into a desperate situation by the red lights for the nth time.

...in the critical moment just before a beam was about to hit—

VMMMM!

A completely different, sharp aura abruptly burst forth from within Lin Yi!

On top of the purple lightning on his body, a layer of condensed, pure, white brilliance that seemed capable of piercing through anything suddenly appeared!

This brilliance was incomparably sharp, carrying with it the will to penetrate all things!

Third Grade Fast Gun Intent—it was a natural culmination, born at the perfect moment!

The speed of the Thunder Light, the sharpness of the Fast Gun—the two great Realms instantly stacked!

Lin Yi’s speed and explosive power once again took a terrifying leap!

SHHFF! SHHFF! SHHFF!

This time, his figure truly moved with the ease of a leisurely stroll amidst the despair-inducing rain of red light in Tier Nine!

The purple thunder light and the white spear’s gleam shone in concert.

Every flicker now landed him precisely within the sole ’gate of life’ in the network of red light, without the slightest bit of strain!

[Student Lin Yi, has passed the Tier Nine test. Points awarded: +5000!]

The notification that was once so far out of reach now sounded as beautiful as celestial music!

The highest difficulty of the Body Technique room, Tier Nine—cleared!

Lin Yi stopped. The light around his body slowly receded, and a gratified, confident smile finally appeared on his face as he let out a long breath of turbid air.

"The Fast Gun Intent... I really did it!"

He felt the two completely different, yet mutually complementary, Realm powers within his body.

"The foundation laid by the Thunder Light Intent made comprehending the Fast Gun Intent a logical and natural progression! With two great Realms empowering me, this Tier Nine is nothing special after all!"

He had now conquered the pinnacle of the Body Technique room.

Lin Yi didn’t linger. He turned and strode away from the site that had witnessed his breakthrough.
