Against an opponent like Ling Sen, Lin Ming only had heartfelt admiration. This was a true martial artist who single-mindedly pursued the path of martial arts. As for those like Zhang Guanyu and Ouyang Dihua, they only practiced martial arts in order to consolidate their status and position. They would have power, and more time to enjoy wealth, beauties, and authority.
The Heavy Profound Soft Spear crossed out, a purple thunder leapt onto its bright silver spear point!
The winding arcs of thunder twisted around like snakes, crawling up the shaft!
Summoning the power of thunder meant that Lin Ming no longer held back. He would defeat his opponent with everything he had!
This was a martial artist’s respect for another.
As Ling Sen gazed upon this scene, his eyes narrowed. This was….control over the power of thunder?
Qin Ziya and Sun Youdao couldn’t keep still. Not even Qin Xingxuan, Qin Xiao, Muyi, or Bai Jingyun were unaffected. They all stared wide-eyed, unblinking.
Thunder-attributed martial artist?
Most martial artists had no specific attribute to their true essence. But, there were a few whose true essence was associated with the five elements. For instance, Bai Jingyun’s water attribute and Zhu Yan’s fire attribute.
Compared to non-attribute true essence, these five element true essences offered many special abilities. However, the tradeoff was that they were limited in the cultivation methods and skills they could learn. It was difficult to say whether this was ultimately good or bad.
Besides the five element aligned true essence, there were also the forces of wind and thunder that existed beyond the five elements of nature.
There were exceedingly few who had these two kinds of true essence attributes, but, they were also much stronger than the five elements.
Especially the thunder attribute. In terms of attack speed, it went against the will of the heavens. Even if one searched the entire Sky Fortune Kingdom, there weren’t many thunder-attributed martial artists. And not only that, even if they were of the thunder attribute, it didn’t mean that they were a good match. Even if they practiced a thunder-based cultivation method, they wouldn’t necessarily achieve any results.
But now looking at Lin Ming, it appeared that he had the power of thunder at his beck and call. Not only that, but there was a prodigious energy contained within. He had clearly cultivated it to the Large Success stage.
How was this possible? In just half a year Lin Ming had managed to comprehend a thunder-based cultivation method?
“It looks like during his adventure, Lin Ming also experienced another fortuitous encounter,” Qin Ziya applauded, somewhat envying Lin Ming in his heart. There were many lucky opportunities that could be found with the Sky Spill Continent. However, these lucky opportunities were often fraught with peril. There was fortune that just lay there for one to pick up. However, if one wished to obtain it, one had to have the courage while also putting in 120% of their effort.
These opportunities were fleeting; only those martial artists that were prepared could reach for them.
Sun Youdao sighed with emotion, “This kid is just too scary. If he just cultivated, with his combat talent, he would certainly reach the Xiantian realm, even the extreme Xiantian realm. But if he is able to attain the fortunes that come with danger, then he might reach the Revolving Dan realm, or an even higher existence!”
“This sort of martial artist must not only have cultivation and combat talent. They also have to have a firm mind and be incomparably calm. They must act bold, be fearless, daring to do what no one else does! In front of a fortuitous encounter, just a little bit of hesitation will cause them to lose their chance.”
Lin Sing looked at the thick electric arc that was twisting around Lin Ming’s spear point and suddenly laughed, “Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, today I, Ling Sen, have truly gained in experience. It is a rare opportunity and honor to be able to fight a martial artist who has reached Large Success in thunder cultivation!”
“You may have broken my Slaughter Domain, but I also have a martial skill!”
As Ling Sen said this, he gripped his 5 foot long heavy sword horizontally outwards. The hilt of the heavy sword was very long; it would take at least 4 or 5 hands to cover it.
“Divine Punishment Blade – Purple Air Comes From the East!”
Bang!
Ling Sen tread the ground, and pulled the five foot long heavy sword around him, drawing a perfect arc on the ground. True essence manifested as a silver shark that was plowing a path through a sea of ice.
In that moment, Ling Sen had gathered all of his murderous aura, his momentum reaching the extreme.
“It’s Purple Air Comes From the East! This is Senior-apprentice Brother Ling’s strongest skill!”
