With a gritted teeth, Xu Yan stripped off all his clothes to avoid them being ruined during his breakthrough.
Covered in the foul-smelling dirt excreted from his body, Xu Yan wasn't concerned about being seen since there was no one around.
Upgrading the second level of the Thunder Mantra to the third consumed 400 merit points. Xu Yan guessed it would take 800 points to reach the fourth level, and another 400 points to upgrade Lightning Thunder Fist to the third level, along with enhancing Palm Thunder.
After searching, Xu Yan found Palm Thunder among the talismans, with the words "Uninitiated" written behind it in bold.
"Upgrade Thunder Mantra!!"
After calculating the merit points, Xu Yan tapped the symbol behind the Thunder Mantra, and his merit points dropped by 800, just as he predicted. Taking advantage of the chain reaction from the breakthrough not yet occurring, Xu Yan swiftly tapped to upgrade the Lightning Thunder Fist .
A thousand two hundred merit points vanished, plunging Xu Yan's entire body into a paralyzed state.
"Who said breaking through was enjoyable? Damn, this hurts!"
Xu Yan gritted his teeth and endured. His entire body was enveloped in lightning. The thunder serpent, originally only three meters long, instantly grew to cover a ten-meter radius.
All the surrounding flora emitted faint sounds, emitted black smoke, and burst into flames.
A ten-meter radius, Xu Yan pondered. When both the Thunder Mantra and Lightning Thunder Fist reached their tenth levels, could he transform an entire village into a thunderfield with just a flick of his wrist?
What demons or monsters would dare approach him then?
Fuck! ... Paralyzed...
The thunder serpent danced wildly. Xu Yan was on the verge of ecstasy and agony. Another layer of dark, foul-smelling dirt was expelled from his body, emitting a revolting stench.
After a while, the electric serpents disappeared, merging back into Xu Yan's body. With the Thunder Mantra breaking through to the fourth level and Lightning Thunder Fist to the third, Xu Yan's body underwent transformations.
His skin became fair, and he grew taller. His muscles bulged.
Within his dantian, the small vortex that originally stored spiritual energy transformed into a purple miniature figure wrapped in countless thunder serpents.
How significant the changes were.
Having reached the fourth level of the Thunder Mantra, Xu Yan gained the ability of internal vision, gazing in awe at the lightning miniature within his dantian.
"Ugh."
It smells terrible!!
After the initial excitement, Xu Yan quickly jumped into a nearby stream to wash off the dirt on his body. Fortunately, he had the foresight to take off his clothes.
"So refreshing."
After cleaning himself up, Xu Yan lay in the stream, letting the water flow over him, feeling extremely comfortable.
After resting for a while, Xu Yan got up, dressed, put out the surrounding fires, and went to sit on a rock in the distance, basking in the sun while opening his system to check his attributes.
Xu Yan: Male
20th Generation Descendant of Maoshan: (Earth Master) (Thunder Spirit Constitution)
Martial Arts: (Thunder Mantra) Fourth Level
Body Cultivation: (Lightning Thunder Fist ) Third Level
Talismans: (Soul-Calming Talisman) Second Level Initiate, (Zombie Binding Talisman) Second Level Initiate, (Protective Talisman) First Level Initiate, (Evil-Warding Talisman) First Level Initiate, (Purple Lightning Talisman) Second Level Initiate...
Remaining Merit Points: 150
Xu Yan felt like crying when he saw that his 1,350 merit points were now down to just 150.
Merit points, he was severely lacking in them.
Hopefully, it would be enough to upgrade Palm Thunder.
After tapping on Palm Thunder twice, it upgraded directly to the second level, completely depleting Xu Yan's merit points. The usage of Palm Thunder was now etched in his mind.
"Palm Thunder!!"
Xu Yan couldn't wait to try it out. A thumb-sized electric serpent flew out of his palm, hitting a rock ten meters away, which shattered instantly. The effect was unparalleled!!
Amazing!!
The consumption was barely 1% of that of Lightning Thunder Fist , but its power was not in the least diminished.
No wonder Shi Jian always kept his eyes on Master Four Eyes, and his master was also interested. This spell seemed tailor-made for him.
"Palm Thunder!!"
"Palm Thunder!!"
In high spirits, Xu Yan continuously used Palm Thunder to attack whatever targets he saw around him, causing chaos in the forest.
All the animals fled in panic, and the forest was engulfed in flames.
"Hahahaha..."
Xu Yan was like a child who had received a toy, playing happily. The consumption of Palm Thunder was merely a drizzle for him, as practicing the Thunder Mantra had replenished his spiritual energy abundantly.
If he encountered a zombie like Mr. Ren's father again, Xu Yan could easily destroy it with a few strikes of Palm Thunder.
Lightning Thunder Fist was difficult to control, but Palm Thunder possessed immense destructive and penetrating power. Xu Yan could attack wherever he pleased, feeling incredibly satisfied.
He had gone overboard.
When Xu Yan calmed down and looked at the uneven ground and the spreading fire, he scratched his head and began to put out the fire.
Fortunately, it wasn't winter, and there was water nearby. Otherwise, the fire would have been difficult to handle. He vowed to be more careful in the future.
Once he had more merit points, he would upgrade Palm Thunder first!!
Xu Yan made a silent decision and returned to Master Four Eyes' dojo after putting out the fire.
"Hey~~~"
"Ha!!"
"I thought you had gone to the Western Pure Land of Bliss!!"
"I did go, but they asked me to bring you along!!"
When Xu Yan returned, he found Jiale and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl standing at the door, their faces filled with anxiety, while a strange sound came from the living room.
