Chapter 30: Indestructible Thunder Body

Lin Ye stared at his holographic status panel. "Now that I've reached First-Tier Mid-Class Special Ability Holder, my physique and energy are robust—but my combat techniques lack diversity. Thunder Fist is potent yet one-dimensional. I need complementary Combat Skills."

He resolved, "My S-Class privileges grant access to the library's first three floors. Tomorrow, I'll consult Professor Qin about suitable thunder-based techniques." After washing up, he collapsed into bed.

Villa No.89 Courtyard – Next Morning

Qin Wuyan's mercury-like right eye hardened as he observed the youth in his courtyard. Lin Ye's lightning patterns blazed brighter than the previous night, electric sparks crackling with each breath—the telltale energy overflow of a stabilized Special Ability Holder.

"First-Tier Mid-Class overnight?" The teacup in Qin's hand shattered, boiling liquid vaporizing before hitting the ground. "Impressive assimilation of the Ten Thousand Thunder Heavenly Art."

Lin Ye clasped his fists. "Modest breakthroughs, Professor. Yet my Thunder Fist has plateaued. I seek your wisdom on supplementary thunder-based Combat Skills."

"Thunder Fist's flaw is rigidity over adaptability." Qin slashed the air, conjuring a holographic battle simulation. "I reviewed your Arena match against the Rampage Bear—" The projection's lightning bolt fractured into four branching paths. "Incorporate Lightning Net Restraint, Electromagnetic Disruption, and Energy Refraction into your strikes."

Lin Ye's pupils constricted. The once-linear punches in the simulation twisted into labyrinthine patterns, even mimicking Thunderstorm Domain-level crowd control.

Qin flicked his wrist, the hologram cycling through four techniques:

1.Lightning Step – Movement art enabling lightning-speed dashes and aerial maneuvers.

2.Skybreaker Thunderstrike – Long-range attacks with anti-air dominance.

3.Soulshock Thunder Tone – Psychic assault lethal to physically armored, mentally vulnerable foes.

4.Nine Thunder Metamorphosis – Unlocks 72 variations of existing fist techniques through layered energy refraction.

 "Most crucially, all four are A-Class Combat Skills." Qin Wuyan locked eyes with Lin Ye. "Do you grasp why?"

"Because S-Class Combat Skills require Fourth-Tier Special Ability Holders or higher to practice. A-Class is my current ceiling," Lin Ye answered steadily.

"Additionally, this body forging art suits you." Qin tossed a leather-bound tome stamped with dark gold runes. Lin Ye caught it mid-air.

"_Indestructible Thunder Body?" Lin Ye opened the first page, goosebumps rising. The diagram depicted a human meridian system overlaid with lightning patterns, each acupuncture point annotated with Mutant Beast blood tempering methods.

"I created this at twenty-two." Qin's left eye glazed with nostalgia. "Nine layers total. Mastery lets you tank Ninth-Tier Mutant Beast assaults. The First Layer's Foundation is pivotal—requires Fourth-Tier or higher thunder-aligned Mutant Beast blood. Higher-tier blood enhances results, provided your body endures the backlash."

He yanked his collar open, revealing a jagged lightning scar. "I used Sixth-Tier Thunder Rhinoceros blood in Thunderstorm Canyon, submerged for three months. This body now withstands Eighth-Tier bites… though I never reached peak mastery."

Lin Ye traced the archaic text, discovering its glyphs were microcrystalline thunder crystals. When he tried flipping to the Second Layer, a bolt repelled his fingers.

"First Layer mastery first." Qin snapped the book shut. "_Indestructible Thunder Body is dual-academy-certified S-Class Combat Skill. Unlike standard techniques, Fourth-Tier Special Ability Holders can practice it—but only the Foundation Phase."

Though the tome weighed little, Lin Ye felt its gravity. Qin hadn't formally accepted him as a disciple, yet gifted two priceless manuals. The unspoken mentorship was clear.

Lin Ye bid farewell to Qin Wuyan and raced to the Library Sphere.

"Beep—" A holographic scanner at the entrance swept over him. "Welcome, S-Class Privilege Student Lin Ye! Access granted to floors 1-3." The voice belonged to Galaxy, the campus AI.

Standing beneath the starry dome etched with Thunder Patterns, Lin Ye commanded: "Galaxy, locate Lightning Step, Skybreaker Thunderstrike, Soulshock Thunder Tone, and Nine Thunder Metamorphosis."

"All four A-Class Thunder Combat Skills reside on Floor 3. Lightning Step: Section E, Shelf 38, Row 11..."

Following the coordinates, Lin Ye collected replica manuals—standard practice for student borrowing—and returned to his dorm at dusk.

Underground Cultivation Chamber

The chamber's AI activated Thunderstorm Mode. Lin Ye first studied Indestructible Thunder Body, memorizing its First Layer Foundation within hours. "The ritual requires high-tier thunder-aligned Mutant Beast blood. I can't hunt such beasts yet… this technique must wait."

"Wait!" He snapped his fingers. "My S+ Resource Package might include materials!"

"Galaxy, display my S+ Resource Inventory."

The holographic list materialized. Lin Ye's gaze locked onto an entry: "_Eighth-Tier Rapid Thunder Drake Blood!"**

"Professor Qin used Sixth-Tier blood. Can my body endure Eighth-Tier?" Anxiety warred with confidence. "The Celestial Vault System boosted my physique beyond peers. I'll risk it."

He resolved to claim the drake blood from Professor Zhao Qiming tomorrow.
