N-A-A Chapter 12 Killing Thunder
Chapter 12 Killing Thunder
Li Yuan continued to try. After the first time, it became much easier. After a few attempts, Li Yuan's entire palm was no longer crackling with electric arcs, but his fingertips were now flashing with them!
Countless tiny black arcs of lightning flashed across Li Yuan's palm, the lightning arcs as sharp as knives, making it appear as if a layer of fine blades had grown on Li Yuan's palm if one did not look closely.
Haha! That's great!
With this electric palm, what is there to be afraid of!
This electric hand is no better than an electric baton!
Is this what they call lightning strikes? That's amazing!
Li Yuan stared at his palm, which was crackling with lightning, for a long time with delight until a feeling of exhaustion came over him, and he reluctantly withdrew the lightning.
It seems that prolonged use of magic can lead to fatigue.
Li Yuan stopped trying and continued to hum a tune as he searched the wooden house.
I took all the useful items with me, and it took several trips to load them all into the car and put them in the trunk.
This trip was very fruitful!
During his search, he saw a bizarre corpse, which he found very strange. Had it frozen to death at home?! Was that freezer bought specifically for that purpose?!
Was it another suicide?
There were eerie photos in the album on the bedside table. He glanced at them when he was smearing black dog blood. Next to the eerie photo was a burly man. The two looked like a couple. In the photo, their faces were close together and they were smiling brightly. They looked very affectionate.
So this is a haunted home; she wasn't abducted here and then murdered.
But... why would they freeze to death?
Li Yuan recalled the ghosts who hanged themselves in the Black Forest; their deaths were all bizarre. They didn't seem murdered, but why did they commit suicide?
Li Yuan was even more puzzled. Was there some hidden story behind this?
Unable to figure it out, he stopped thinking about it and quickly put it out of his mind.
Li Yuan was in an extremely good mood after leaving the cabin and getting into the car, no longer caring about the danger he had just suffered.
We should examine this haul carefully, starting with this jade-like object.
Li Yuan eagerly opened the encyclopedia, and sure enough, there was information about the items inside.
Mysterious artifacts: Special items that may drop after a mysterious death, usually possessing some kind of mysterious ability.
Artifact Quality Grades: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, Red, Black, Gold
There's a chance! What great luck!
Frostbone Jade (White): A piece of bone left behind by the Frozen Ghost after its death, resembling jade. It inherited some of the Frozen Ghost's abilities and can release extremely low-temperature cold air.
Each release lasts a maximum of five minutes, and yin energy needs to be replenished afterward.
This Frost Bone Jade also possesses special abilities: low-temperature paralysis and instant death from ultra-low temperatures!
The Frost Jade releases low temperatures to form a cold zone within a certain range. Within the cold zone, the ability to perceive temperature decreases. If a target stays in the cold zone for three minutes (without interruption), the extreme low temperature released by the Frost Jade will cause instant death, which cannot be avoided!
It can only be used once; after use, the Cold Bone Jade will be damaged.
Wow! That's awesome!
Instant death!
Although there's a three-minute limit, it's unavoidable!
If used properly, this can be incredibly useful!
It's a pity it can only be used once, but considering it was dropped by Little Ghost, being able to use it once is already very good.
Wait a minute! So the Frozen Ghost that stuck to my back in the first place was releasing low-temperature cold air to freeze me to death at ultra-low temperatures!
Li Yuan suddenly realized what was happening, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
Luckily, I spotted the frozen ghost in the mirror, otherwise I would have been dead in three minutes!
Li Yuan patted his chest with lingering fear; these strange occurrences were all incredibly mysterious!
Li Yuan thought to himself that he must never be careless again, and he cursed himself for being stupid when he saw the Cold Bone Jade.
If there were any problems with the Cold Bone Jade, I would have been affected back then!
He had lowered his guard when he saw Guidu completely terrified; what if Guidu had faked his death...? Ugh... I don't even want to think about it.
Li Yuan was just an ordinary person. Although he thought he should always be vigilant, he had no experience and had not been trained, so he could forget things easily.
However, he became more cautious after that incident.
Li Yuan was still quite frightened before continuing to examine the illustrations.
Next is that thing in my dantian, is it a spiritual root?
Spiritual Source: The origin of spiritual power, the place where the human body stores spiritual power. Only those who possess the Spiritual Source can cultivate and awaken magical techniques.
So that's why the system installed a spiritual source within me before awakening my magic.
Magic: Superpowers, super abilities, spells, and unscientific existence.
The unique abilities awakened from spiritual sources are related to a person's abilities, personality, and desires.
Using spells consumes spiritual energy. When spiritual energy is insufficient, using spells will deplete physical abilities. Overuse of spells can lead to fainting, and reckless use of spells will damage the body.
Spell levels: E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS.
The stronger the spell, the more spiritual energy it consumes.
It turns out that I was tired back then because I had run out of spiritual energy.
Li Yuan pondered, "My electric palm strike lasted for more than ten seconds, which is a bit short. Or was the lightning strike too powerful, causing it to deplete quickly?"
What level is Thunder Kill?
Li Yuan couldn't help but wonder, recalling the system's description of Killing Thunder, could it be S-rank!
Li Yuan was somewhat excited, but it was probably impossible. The name "Sha Lei" didn't live up to the prestige of an S-rank; it should be A-rank.
However, Sha Lei can be trained to S-rank!
Frozen Ghost: A ghost formed from a person who froze to death. Its body is cold and it cannot feel warmth. It is tormented by the cold all day long and can release cold air.
This is going to turn into something sinister, which isn't good either!
The Hanged Ghost suffers the pain of hanging every day, while the Frozen Ghost is tormented by the cold.
Sigh~.
Li Yuan sighed, even more puzzled as to why they had turned into monsters.
Li Yuan opened the wooden treasure chest, inside were still five portions of compressed biscuits, five bottles of water, one Five Emperors Coin, and one spirit stone.
The cinnabar and black dog blood have already been used up.
Li Yuan picked up the spirit stone, his expression somewhat excited.
Am I allowed to cultivate now?!
You have to find your own way to upgrade your skills, you have to rely on yourself to cultivate them, and the same goes for techniques. So the earlier you start cultivating, the better.
Spirit stones are formed from the condensation of spiritual energy in nature. The spiritual energy is pure. My spiritual source has been opened, so I should be able to start cultivating!
Thinking of the drastic changes in the Frozen Ghost before and after her death, Li Yuan wondered if she had absorbed some kind of Yin energy, which was why she suddenly became stronger.
Li Yuan became even more excited at this thought: "I must cultivate!"
This hellish world is too dangerous; we must become stronger!
Li Yuan held the spirit stone in his hand and used the spiritual energy in his dantian to absorb it. He actually succeeded on this try!
Strands of spiritual energy flowed into Li Yuan's spiritual source, and Li Yuan carefully sensed all of this.
It felt strange, like the medicine entering the body when receiving an IV drip, or like hair flowing through the meridians. There was a little pain and a little itchiness, but mostly a warm and comfortable feeling.
About half an hour later, Li Yuan felt a bloating sensation in his spiritual energy, as if he had eaten his fill.
Li Yuan stopped absorbing the spirit stones and saw that only half of them had been used up, and he didn't feel any stronger at all.
It seems that simply absorbing spiritual energy does not make one stronger.
Li Yuan closed his eyes, recalling the cultivation methods from the novel, and circulated his spiritual energy throughout his body.
The spiritual energy left the spiritual source and flowed through Li Yuan's limbs and bones.
A wave of warmth spread throughout Li Yuan's body, making him feel extremely comfortable and refreshed.
