Chapter 20: Heavenly Thunder Body Constitution

The horizon blazed with the colors of dawn as Ivan and Amelia continued their preparations for the upcoming trials. With their cultivation of the blood and lymph meridians complete, they were now ready to undertake the next phase of their enhancement: the Heavenly Thunder Body Constitution.

The Revelation of Heavenly Thunder

In their recent research, Jae-Hwa had uncovered references to an ancient technique known as the Heavenly Thunder Body Constitution. This technique promised to bestow upon its practitioner immense power and resilience, harnessing the raw energy of thunder and lightning.

"To master the Heavenly Thunder Body Constitution," Jae-Hwa explained, "you need to align your body with the essence of thunder. This technique will not only enhance your physical strength but also imbue you with the elemental power of lightning."

The process involved channeling and refining the energy of thunder within the body, enhancing both defensive and offensive capabilities. This alignment required a series of intense exercises and meditative practices.

Preparation and Ritual

To begin their training, Ivan and Amelia traveled to a remote mountain peak known for its frequent thunderstorms. The environment was ideal for their training, as the natural presence of thunder and lightning would aid in their synchronization with the elemental energy.

They set up a training area amidst the rugged terrain, surrounded by ancient runes and protective wards. Their goal was to attune their bodies to the energy of lightning, a process that involved both physical and mental discipline.

The ritual to awaken the Heavenly Thunder Body Constitution began with a series of grounding exercises. Ivan and Amelia stood under the open sky, feeling the raw energy of the storm. They focused on absorbing the ambient energy through deep breathing and visualization techniques, channeling it through their bodies.

Harnessing the Thunder

The next stage involved direct interaction with the thunderous energy. They conducted exercises that involved summoning and controlling lightning strikes, using specially designed conductive rods to safely direct the energy. The process was fraught with danger, but their enhanced physical and mental fortitude allowed them to handle the intense energy.

As they practiced, Ivan and Amelia could feel their bodies changing. The energy of the thunder flowed through them, enhancing their reflexes, strength, and agility. Their skin took on a faint, electric glow, and their senses sharpened as they became more attuned to the elemental forces.

Mastering the Technique

The final stage of their training involved integrating the thunderous energy into their combat techniques. They practiced channeling lightning into their strikes and defensive maneuvers, creating powerful, electrified attacks. Their movements became faster and more fluid, and they could now generate bolts of lightning with their hands.

The mastery of the Heavenly Thunder Body Constitution transformed their combat abilities. Ivan's strikes were now imbued with the force of thunder, while Amelia's spells crackled with lightning. They could also use the energy to enhance their physical defenses, making them nearly impervious to attacks.

A Test of Power

After completing their training, Ivan and Amelia were eager to test their newfound abilities. They challenged each other in a sparring match, their movements swift and precise. The clash of their thunder-infused attacks created a dazzling display of lightning and energy.

The results were impressive. Ivan's thunderous strikes shattered rocks and sent shockwaves through the ground, while Amelia's lightning spells illuminated the surroundings with a fierce brilliance. Their combined abilities showcased the full potential of the Heavenly Thunder Body Constitution.

Preparing for the Storm

With their new powers fully developed, Ivan and Amelia prepared to face the challenges ahead. They knew that the Outer Gods' influence was growing stronger, and they would need every advantage to confront the looming threat.

As they descended from the mountain peak, they felt a renewed sense of confidence and determination. The Heavenly Thunder Body Constitution had significantly enhanced their capabilities, and they were ready to use their new powers to protect their world.
