I, Who Hate Marine So Much, Have Become A Future Nika?

Chapter 50: Talented Spells, Mastery of the Five Thunders

Perhaps it was because he was perfectly suited to the shadow of the Spirit Beast, or maybe it was his exceptional talent, or the influence of the Sword Heart. In any case, as the solidification of the shadow of the Spirit Deer approached its end, something unusual happened.

His five organs, which had been strengthened to a harmonious state, suddenly manifested a special power.

The heart manifested fire, the lungs manifested metal, then the liver became wood, the kidneys became water, and the spleen became earth.

After the appearance of these five special powers, they merged and became one.

Feeling this special power lingering within his body, Zhong Cang instinctively reached out and activated this power.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by Zhong Cang's instinctive guidance, this power was actually guided out by him.

And when this power manifested outside, it was not any of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, or earth, but... thunder!

"?!!"

"What is this?"

"Why am I casting thunder spells?"

Looking at the thunder brewing in the palm of his hand, Zhong Cang felt joy, but also confusion.

He closed his eyes, pondered, and spent a whole hour before finally understanding everything.

"It's not strange for the Five Beasts Infusion Technique to brew spells."

"After all, it is an extraordinary Immortal Dao Body Tempering technique, and the grade of this cultivation method is not low, so it has its peculiarities."

"According to the information my uncle told me, this cultivation method simulates the cultivation of Spirit Beasts. Compared to humans, Spirit Beasts not only have stronger physical bodies but also possess innate spells. Therefore, when practicing this cultivation method to the Qi Refining Late Stage, one will awaken the Spirit Beast's spiritual resonance, and each awakening of the spiritual resonance has a chance to obtain a Spirit Beast's innate spell."

"Although I am only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, I have Sword Heart, so it's not strange to awaken it in advance..."

Well, this is quite an exaggerated situation.

Normally, when cultivators practice the Five Beasts Infusion Technique, even if they practice it to the Qi Refining Late Stage, there is only a certain probability of obtaining a spell when awakening the Spirit Beast's spiritual resonance.

Just like his uncle Zhong Kangping, who awakened all five Spirit Beast resonances, he only obtained three innate spells.

Zhong Cang obtaining it at the fourth level of Qi Refining, if he knew about it, he would definitely question his life.

In addition to understanding the reason for awakening innate spells, Zhong Cang also understood why the solidification of the shadow of the Spirit Deer gave him the ability to hold thunder in his palm (Mastery of the Five Thunders).

According to the theory of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, thunder belongs to the trigram Zhen, which is the yang attribute of wood.

Therefore, it is not strange for thunder to derive from wood-based cultivation techniques.

...

"Crack!"

"Boom!"

Obtaining thunder spells, Zhong Cang was like a child who had received a toy, constantly testing the power of the thunder spells.

After a series of tests, Zhong Cang had only one feeling about the Mastery of the Five Thunders - dominance!

The thunder held in the palm, nurtured by the five organs and five elements, could be released externally. With a thought from Zhong Cang, thunder could fly out from his palm and strike dozens of meters away.

This kind of thunder, extremely strong and yang, could pulverize trees like projectiles.

However, this method of attack was not the most powerful form of the Mastery of the Five Thunders.

As thunder derived from the Body Tempering cultivation technique, this thunderous power could be attached to Zhong Cang's palms.

At this moment, if Zhong Cang used the Five Thunders Palm to strike an enemy, his palm would generate a shockwave. This force, combined with the thunder's extreme strength and yang attribute, and Zhong Cang's body tempered to the fourth level of Qi Refining, could shatter stones and crack the ground with a single palm strike.

"Boom!"

After shattering the air with a palm strike, feeling the power brewing in his palm, a smile of uncontrollable joy appeared on Zhong Cang's face.

Soon, he discovered that as an innate spell, the Mastery of the Five Thunders not only had great power but also had other advantages.

First, it was quick to activate.

If it were a spell learned after birth, cultivators would need to draw symbols, recite incantations, or make hand seals, so there would always be a preparation time before each use.

But for Zhong Cang, the Mastery of the Five Thunders was like a bodily instinct. With a thought, he could unleash it.

The second point is that Zhong Cang does not need to train specifically for this spell.

The Five Thunder Palm derives from Zhong Cang's internal organs, so the stronger Zhong Cang's body becomes, the more powerful this spell becomes.

The third point is that when activating it, it can consume physical strength or be stimulated by spiritual power. It can also be used with a combination of spiritual energy and physical strength, which can be considered as a way to reduce the consumption of Zhong Cang's spiritual power.

"It activates quickly, has strong power, and consumes very little... Talented spells indeed have many advantages. No wonder Uncle can secure the position of the supervisor of the outer courtyard with the Five Beasts Infusion Technique."

"Unfortunately, when the Five Beast Spirit Awakening occurs, it is not certain that one will obtain a talented spell. And even if one does obtain a spell, it is also a matter of fate."

"And for me, the Five Thunder Palm has a flaw... It cannot be combined with my strongest swordsmanship."

Indeed, this is a problem.

Fortunately, although they cannot be combined, having both the palm technique and the sword technique allows Zhong Cang to have more attack options.

"By the way, should I learn a palm technique to complement the Five Thunder Palm?"

"Let it be, if there is a good technique, then we'll see..."

...

With his physique reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining and obtaining the Five Thunder Palm, Zhong Cang's strength has greatly increased.

As a result, the situation of being evenly matched with Yan Lingdie during their sparring session changed once again the next day.

"Flaming Spirit Slash!"

"Li..."

As Yan Lingdie swung her sword, the agile firebird flapped its wings and flew towards Zhong Cang.

However, unlike before, this time Zhong Cang did not dodge. Instead, he bent his arm and held it close to his waist.

After a moment, when the firebird was about to reach him, Zhong Cang's palm, which had been charged to the limit, struck out forcefully.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a thunderous explosion, the swiftly flying firebird was shattered by Zhong Cang's powerful palm, crushing its head and most of its body.

After extinguishing the firebird with his palm, Zhong Cang did not hesitate. He took a step forward and charged directly towards Yan Lingdie.

"?!?!"

"Ha!"

The power of this palm frightened Yan Lingdie.

Seeing Zhong Cang charging towards her, she didn't dare to be careless and quickly manipulated the Flame Spirit, swinging her heavy sword down.

"Boom..."

The heavy sword fell like a mountain, but in the past, Zhong Cang would either dodge or use the power of the wind to deflect attacks he couldn't avoid.

But this time, facing the heavy sword that was fiercely descending, Zhong Cang did not dodge or evade. He used the Five Thunder Palm to meet the heavy sword head-on.

"Boom!"

The thunderous power of the most rigid and yang energy sent the flaming heavy sword flying high into the air.

Taking advantage of Yan Lingdie's vulnerability, Zhong Cang took another step forward and arrived in front of her.

At the same time, thunderous energy once again filled Zhong Cang's right palm.

This scene made Yan Lingdie widen her eyes and involuntarily say, "How can you still attack?!"

She couldn't understand how Zhong Cang could easily use such a powerful spell and continuously unleash attacks without even catching his breath.

This is the beauty of talented spells.

For Zhong Cang, the Five Thunder Palm is like dragon breath to a giant dragon. It is instinctive, and as long as he has physical strength, he can continuously unleash it.

"Boom!"

In Yan Lingdie's helplessness, Zhong Cang's palm, filled with thunderous power, imprinted itself on the Flame Spirit.

"Bang..."

With a powerful palm, Zhong Cang directly blasted a hole in the fiery body of the Flame Spirit. In the end, his palm stopped in front of Yan Lingdie's forehead.
