Chapter 44: Obtaining Another Lightning attribute Cultivation Technique

Ye Liang's dying shriek came to an abrupt halt as the blade light fell.

The headless corpse collapsed with a thud, and a head rolled to a stop in front of Lu Gong, its eyes wide open and filled with resentment and despair.

"Hiss… Hooo…"

Looking at Ye Liang's head, Lu Gong was shocked to the core, his very breath trembling.

The Sixth Young Master of the Ye family.

His status in the Red Maple Stronghold was of the highest nobility.

Once upon a time, he had felt honored to serve as the personal bodyguard of the Ye family's Sixth Young Master.

But now, this high and mighty Sixth Young Master of the Ye family had his head chopped off like a common salted fish.

"My… My Lord… please spare me…"

Lu Gong looked up tremblingly, murky tears streaming from his old eyes.

In truth, with his strength, he might have been able to fight a desperate battle and find a way to survive, but he was already scared out of his wits and had completely lost the will to resist.

"You have seen my face, and your family is still in the hands of the Ye family."

Su Lang said coldly, "Do you think I can trust you?"

Lu Gong's body shook violently as he kowtowed to the ground, his face covered in tears.

"Swish!"

The blade light flashed and vanished; Lu Gong was decapitated!

Su Lang performed a flourish with his blade, flicked off the blood, and then sheathed it.

Next, it was time to collect the gold coins.

This chest contained exactly 1,265 gold coins.

Counting the wealth looted from Ye Liang, Lu Gong, and the members of the Broken Axe Hunting Group, it actually reached 4,232 coins!

"Hehehe, not bad, not bad!"

Looking at the growing numbers, Su Lang wore a satisfied smile.

Afterward, he changed back into his original clothes and silently left the Golden Fruit Building, which was now filled with corpses.

As for the Clone, since it was idle anyway, Su Lang simply dispatched it outside the barrier to explore and hunt E-grade Vicious Beasts.

After returning to the inn, Su Lang immediately took out the six Cultivation Techniques contributed by Ye Liang and Lu Gong.

All six Cultivation Techniques were Elementary Cultivation Techniques.

There were three body-tempering techniques, two weapon techniques, and one attribute technique.

To Su Lang's surprise, this attribute technique was actually another Lightning attribute Cultivation Technique!

Furthermore, its name was similar to the Thunder Silk True Art, called the True Art of Thunder Light!

"I wonder what the connection is between the two?"

Su Lang couldn't wait to open the True Art of Thunder Light and began reading.

After a quick skim, Su Lang immediately replaced the Thunder Silk True Art on the martial arts figurines with the True Art of Thunder Light.

"Ding! Cultivation Technique changed to True Art of Thunder Light!"

At the same time, the twisted lightning silk on the martial arts figurines' hands disappeared.

In its place, two flickering balls of thunder light appeared beneath its feet!

Su Lang stared intently at the martial arts figurines, waiting excitedly.

About ten minutes passed.

"Ding! True Art of Thunder Light has reached Entry-Level."

A vast amount of Lightning attribute Profound Truths were instilled into him, and Su Lang's mastery of the True Art of Thunder Light immediately reached the Entry-Level.

"This actually turns out to be an attribute technique that enhances movement!"

"And it even belongs to the same more Advanced Lightning attribute Cultivation Technique as the Thunder Silk True Art!"

Su Lang's eyes sparkled, his excitement becoming hard to restrain.

The Thunder Silk True Art and the True Art of Thunder Light shared the same origin and complemented each other, greatly increasing their power.

For Su Lang to practice both techniques simultaneously, it wasn't as simple as 1+1=2; it was at least equal to 3!

"Let's give it a try!"

With a thought from Su Lang, the Spiritual Qi vortex within his body spun frantically, and his feet were gradually enveloped in a layer of flickering, misty thunder light.

In the next second, Su Lang took a light step and actually shot forward like an arrow, nearly crashing into the wall!

"Holy crap, this technique is terrifyingly powerful!?"

Su Lang gasped in pleasant surprise; he felt his speed had increased by at least twofold!

Next, he drew his Tang sword, and a large amount of lightning silk flowed from his hand into the blade, creating a magnificent aura.

These lightning silks were clearly denser and more active than before, with their intensity significantly improved.

"Fantastic!"

Su Lang wore a bright smile, then turned his gaze toward the remaining five cultivation techniques—

Turtle Breathing Body Tempering Art, Immovable Body Locking Art, Rain-Treading Footwork, Floating Willow Sword Style, and Flying Flower Shadow-Slaying Sword.
