Chapter 5: Reward from The System, Wushuang's Potential

Bai Yan and Lei Wushuang stood amidst the remnants of their battle, the forest eerily silent once more. The crimson leaves rustled softly in the breeze, carrying a sense of tranquility that contrasted sharply with the recent chaos. As Lei Wushuang took a moment to catch his breath, he couldn't help but glance at Bai Yan with a mixture of awe and curiosity.

"Bai Yan, your skills are extraordinary. I have never seen anything like it," Lei Wushuang said, his voice filled with genuine admiration. "If it weren't for you, I would have been overwhelmed by those Vorlothians."

Bai Yan smiled faintly, his expression calm and composed. "You fought well, Lei Wushuang. Your determination and bravery are commendable. But there is much more you can achieve with the right guidance."

Lei Wushuang's eyes widened in surprise. "Guidance?"

Bai Yan nodded thoughtfully. "I see great potential in you. If you are willing, I would like to take you in as my disciple. Together, we can unlock your true strength and help you reach new heights in your cultivation."

Lei Wushuang felt a surge of excitement and gratitude. "I would be honored to be your disciple, Master Bai."

"Very well," Bai Yan said with a nod. "Let us begin your journey."

Ding!

"Host, as a reward for taking in a disciple and forming a master-disciple bond, the system will grant you the complete Heavenly Thunder Body."

Bai Yan's eyes gleamed with interest. "System, what is the Heavenly Thunder Body?"

"Responding to host, the Heavenly Thunder Body is a powerful constitution that allows the bearer to harness and control the purest form of lightning energy. It enhances physical strength, speed, and resilience, making the host nearly invincible in battle. Additionally, the system will assist in awakening this body within your disciple, Lei Wushuang."

"Excellent," Bai Yan said, turning his attention back to Lei Wushuang. "Wushuang, I will help awaken a special body within you, the Heavenly Thunder Body. This will greatly enhance your abilities."

Lei Wushuang's eyes shone with anticipation. "Thank you, Master. I am ready."

Bai Yan raised his hand, channeling a surge of energy through his palm. A brilliant arc of lightning crackled around his fingers, illuminating the forest with a radiant glow. He directed the energy towards Lei Wushuang, who stood resolute, ready to embrace the transformation.

The lightning enveloped Lei Wushuang, infusing his body with a powerful energy. He felt a surge of strength coursing through his veins, his muscles vibrating with newfound power. The transformation was both exhilarating and overwhelming, his senses heightened to an extraordinary degree.

Ding!

"Host, as a further reward, you have been granted the Illusionary Body skill scroll. This lightning attribute skill enhances speed and power, making the host's movements almost imperceptible to the naked eye."

Bai Yan unrolled the scroll, absorbing the knowledge contained within. The skill was intricate, focusing on the manipulation of lightning to create afterimages and boost physical capabilities. It was a perfect complement to his existing abilities.

"Lei Wushuang," Bai Yan called out, his voice steady. "We have more work to do. I will grant you a new skill called Illusionary Body, which will further enhance your combat prowess. I will teach you this skill, and together, we will become even stronger."

Lei Wushuang nodded, determination burning in his eyes. "I am ready, Master."

With that, Bai Yan began to demonstrate the Illusionary Body technique, his movements fluid and precise. Lightning crackled around him as he moved, creating afterimages that seemed to blend seamlessly with his surroundings. Lei Wushuang watched intently, absorbing every detail of the technique.

Under Bai Yan's guidance, Lei Wushuang practiced the Illusionary Body skill, his progress swift and steady. The bond between master and disciple grew stronger with each passing moment, their combined strength a testament to their dedication and resolve.

As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the crimson forest, Bai Yan and Lei Wushuang stood side by side, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. Their journey was just beginning, and with the power of the Heavenly Thunder Body and the Illusionary Body skill, they were prepared to conquer any obstacle in their path.

"Master," Lei Wushuang said quietly, his voice filled with gratitude. "Thank you for everything."

Bai Yan smiled, placing a hand on his disciple's shoulder. "We are just getting started, Lei. Together, we will reshape the order of this universe. Now, let's continue our training."

With renewed determination, Wushuang continued his practice, the forest alive with the crackle of lightning and the echoes of his unyielding spirit. The path ahead was uncertain, but with his combined strength and unwavering resolve, Lei Wushuang was ready to face whatever destiny had in store for him.
