Chapter 56: Too Many Enemies, No One to Succeed Him

  "Boom!"

  "Ow~ it hurts so much!" Gao Tianming squatted on the ground, rubbing his head in distress. He looked up at the big tree in front of him and seemed a bit helpless. "I've kept going for 1 minute without any mistakes, didn't expect to be ruined by this tree."

  He rubbed his bumped forehead a few times, and with a bright red face, he stood up, "Still gotta keep training, otherwise I'll end up bumping into the enemy during battle, that would be utterly pitiful."

  After taking a deep breath, Gao Tianming slowly opened his eyes. "Zzt!" A burst of electricity flashed under his feet, and Gao Tianming began to practice around the surrounding trees.

  ……..

  "How was your practice in the woods behind the house this morning?" Ge Ning asked at the dinner table.

  Gao Tianming revealed his teeth and smiled, "Master, the practice has improved a lot, and I won't bump into trees everywhere like before."

  Chen Gu heard Gao Tianming's words and exclaimed in surprise: "Tianming, you can basically not touch the tree after practicing for just one day? I used to crash into it for many days in a row before I got good at it."

  Gao Tianming rubbed his forehead and smiled, "Maybe I'm more compatible with lightning, so I can grasp the subtle dodges faster." Gao Tianming thought of the light ball in his mind and his inner vision.

  "You've grasped the techniques of 'Tian Xing Wu Lei' so quickly, it's quite surprising to me as your master. However, you still need to continue intensifying your training tomorrow, don't slack off!" Ge Ning said.

  Gao Tianming nodded, "Master, I will work twice as hard. If I learn the 'Tian Xing Wu Lei', can I then learn the 'Hong Lei Fist'?" Gao Tianming suddenly thought of Chen Gu's thunderball on his fist when he was by the lake.

  Ge Ning furrowed his brow and said, "Although your progress is relatively fast, it's not suitable for you to learn the Thunderclap Fist now. It's best to wait until you break through to the fourth stage of the Acquired Realm before learning the Thunderclap Fist. At that time, your internal energy reserves will just be enough to support both your movement skills and attack techniques."

  Hearing that he couldn't learn "Thunderclap Fist" immediately, Gao Tian was visibly disappointed. "Got it, Master!"

  Looking at Gao Tianming's dejected appearance, Chen Gu couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Little brother, although you can't learn the powerful attacking skill 'Thunderclap Fist' for now, you can spread the inner energy of 'Surprise Thunder Decision' to your fists and legs. When you attack an enemy, it will produce a strong paralyzing effect and also break through their internal force defense."

  "Are you putting internal energy on your fist?" Ga Tianming looked at Chen Gu with a puzzled expression, "The 'Ping Shui Jue' says that only post-heavenly third-level or higher masters can emit internal energy from their body to defend themselves!"

  "Heh heh, this is the normal situation, but there are also special situations." Chen Gu's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Our 'Surprise Thunder Decision' is one of these special situations, because it is coordinated with 'Thunder Fist' and 'Heavenly Five Thunders'. Therefore, when creating this set of skills, the connection between internal energy and fists and legs was the closest. Until later, during the second heavy stage, you can spread your internal energy to these two positions. Of course, if you want to spread it to your palms now, it's not possible!"

  "So amazing?" Gao Tianming said with some surprise, "No wonder it's a technique that can be upgraded to the Heavenly level!"

  Upon hearing Gao Tianming's words, Ge Ning couldn't help but burst out laughing: "This has nothing to do with whether or not one can ascend to the Heavenly level; it's just that these three techniques exist in tandem, which is why they have so many strange aspects. Many paired martial arts in the world have their own mystical sides."

  He thought his attack was fine, so Gaotianming didn't dwell on the "Thunderclap Fist", and after finishing dinner he hurriedly ran to the backyard to practice.

  Seeing Gao Tianming rushing to practice, Chen Gu sighed: "Little Shidi is really hardworking! With his talent, maybe in his lifetime he can be promoted to Xiantian, Master, what do you think?"

  " Innate! " Ge Ning shook his head, " That's another realm, besides innate talent, it also requires opportunity. Let's see if Heaven blesses the Lei Xuan Sect or not. "

  "Master, how was our Lei Xiao Sect destroyed in the first place?" Chen Gu heard about Lei Xiao Sect again and looked somewhat puzzled.

  "When the Lei Xiao Sect was destroyed, I hadn't joined the sect yet," Ge Ning gazed into the distance, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes. "I was taken in by your master's ancestor after the sect was destroyed, just like how I'm taking you all in now. As for how glorious the sect was back then, I didn't get to experience it myself. I only learned a thing or two from your master's stories."

  Upon hearing this, Chen Gu was somewhat disappointed, "Then what kind of cultivation did Master have at the beginning, was he a pre-heavenly expert?"

  "Hehe, your master's ancestor wasn't a born genius, but rather a post-heavenly nine-peak figure," Ge Ning chuckled and continued to say: "Otherwise, your master's ancestor wouldn't have had the chance to escape, all the innate ones were eliminated, only then would a sect be considered destroyed. Moreover, many secret manuals weren't brought out, leaving only these three. Although your master's ancestor wasn't an innate genius, he was able to make innate techniques into something that post-heavenly geniuses could cultivate, your master's ancestor has nothing to be ashamed of."

  "Didn't our ancestor say why the sect was destroyed at first?" Chen Gu asked.

  "I asked this question before, and your master said eight words." Gao Ning's hands gestured the shape of eight, "Too many enemies, no one to inherit."

  "Alas!" Chen Gu sighed, he had never experienced the glory of his sect, and until today, he didn't even know that he used to have a sect, so he couldn't understand the feeling of going from prosperity to decline.

  "Master, are you planning to rebuild the sect after reaching the Pre-Heavenly stage?" Chen Gu suddenly asked.

  Gong Ning was slightly surprised by Chen Gu's question, but still nodded his head, "Yes! If we can achieve the Innate and re-establish the banner of Lei Xuan Sect, it is the wish of your Master Ancestor, and also my wish!"

  Chen Gu's face looked a bit heavy, "Should we tell our little junior brother about the news of the door?"

  Gao Ning hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Forget it, I don't want to put pressure on him so soon."

  "Alright, got it, Master!"

  The night had already enveloped the earth, and in the small woods at the back of the house, a faint humming noise was echoing through the trees, where a figure could be vaguely seen flashing quickly.

  Sometimes a loud crashing sound can be heard, followed by a chorus of mournful cries.

  Gao Tianming shook his head, the part of his forehead had been hit and was a bit numb. Due to the arrival of nightfall and the weakening of light, Gao Tianming's error rate was much higher than during the day.

  But Gao Tianming did not give up, when the internal force in his body was exhausted, he would sit cross-legged and cultivate the "Surprise Thunder Decision", allowing his internal force to recover faster, and also making his internal force rapidly stronger.
