Yes you should " mused lady yin.
" I am going to have so much fun while training you these " said Lady Yin with sadistic smile .
"Shen Guang shuddered "
-------------
The skills are :
1."Heaven-Sundering Gale Step"
- A movement technique where each step cracks the ground with thunder .
- it is a high rank Xuan ( black )grade movement technique, when cultivated to peak it can compare to most low rank Earth grade movement techniques.
-A movement technique that combines brute physical force and lightning energy to propel cultivator at terrifying speeds, each step shatters the ground and leave behind crackling thunder trails.
Mechanics & Effects:
A. Lightning-Charged Strides:
- Shen Guang's bone runes (legs/feet) activate, absorbing ambient lightning or drawing from his stored energy, because of the sutra , the rune can enhance the technique.
- Each step detonates like a thunderclap, propelling him forward 10x faster than normal movement.
B. Destructive Footwork:
- The force of cultivators steps fractures the earth, creating localized quakes.
- Enemies within 3 meters are staggered by the concussive shockwaves .
C. Thunder Trails:
- Afterimages of violet lightning linger briefly in his wake, confusing opponents.
Combat Applications:
- Closing Distance: Covers 50 meters in a single step (at higher tiers, this approaches teleportation).
- Aerial Mobility: Can run vertically up cliffs or across water by detonating lightning underfoot.
- Offensive Dash: Rams into foes like a human thunderbolt , adding impact damage.
Limitations:
- Bone Strain: Overuse cracks leg bones (until cultivators body adapts).
- Predictable Trajectory: Leaves a visible lightning trail , so savvy enemies can anticipate his path.
- Dou Qi Drain: Consumes 10% of his reserves per step (early stages).
- Neural Response: need full concentration that overwhelms the brain in long fights and advance neural response to use the technique effectively.
Lady Yin's Commentary:
*"Hmph. 'Heaven-Sundering'? More like 'Ground-Tickling.' Try not to trip over your own thunder, little Shen."
Shen Guang's Retort:
"Says the woman who floats everywhere like a lazy cloud."
2." Shattering Mountain Shoulder":
-A brutal, close-range charging attack where Shen Guang channels lightning-infused bone density into his shoulder and rams into opponents with enough force to splinter boulders, crush armor, and send bodies flying like ragdolls .
- it is mid rank Xuan (black) tier technique.
Mechanics & Effects:
A. Bone Rune Activation: ( only for shen because of lightning rune )
- The lightning runes carved into his right hand ignite, hardening his skeletal structure to mythril-like durability .
- His muscles swell briefly with stored thunder energy, adding explosive power.
B. The Charge:
- cultivator dashes forward (often following a movement technique for momentum), his body leaning low like a bull infused with lightning .
- On impact, cultivator shoulder releases a concussive thunderwave , amplifying the physical force.
C. Impact Devastation:
- Against objects: Shatters stone walls, breaks earth-rank defensive artifacts.
- Against living targets:
- Bone fractures (even through armor).
- internal organ trauma from the thunder shock.
- Knockback (10+ meters for weaker foes).
Combat Applications:
- Breaching Defenses: Counters shield-based techniques or barrier formations.
- Close-Quarters Domination: Used in tight spaces where punches/kicks are restricted.
- Finisher Move: Follows up a combo to launch enemies into obstacles .
Limitations:
- Predictable Wind-Up:Requires a short charge distance (unless paired with movement skills).
- Single-Target Focus: Less effective against swarming enemies.
- Self-Damage: Early usage cracks cultivator own clavicle (until his bones fully adapt).
Heaven-Sundering Gale Step" + "Shattering Mountain Shoulder"
For months, Shen Guang drilled the two techniques in tandem, transforming them from disjointed skills into a devastating, fluid combo.
Lady Yin watched—sometimes mocking, sometimes grudgingly impressed—as he turned his body into a living thunderstorm of destruction.
The Deadly Combo:
A. Initiation - "Heaven-Sundering Gale Step"
- Shen Guang's lightning-charged foot stomps down , detonating the ground beneath him.
- Effect: 0 to 100 meters in a blink , leaving a trail of cracked earth and violet afterimages .
B. Transition - The "Thunder-Glide"
- Mid-dash, he rotates his body , tucking his shoulder forward as bone runes flare to life .
- Kinetic Storage: The momentum from the Gale Step amplifies the force of his shoulder charge.
C.Impact - "Shattering Mountain Shoulder"
- Collision: His shoulder slams into the target, releasing stored lightning in a concussive explosion .
- Result:
-Boulders → Dust.
- Lady Yin's patience → Nonexistent.
After some days Shen Guang mastered the the combination of heaven sundering gale steps and shattering mountain shoulder and he named it.
''VIOLET IMPACT SURGE ''.
Not bad , not bad quiet the literary name ,
Lady Yin's grin was downright *sadistic* as she hurled Shen Guang into the heart of the Stormfang Wolf Pack —twelve lightning-attuned beasts led by a 2nd-tier Peak Alpha, its fur crackling with eeire green energy.
"No weapons. No tricks. Just *that* combo," she called from her perch atop a shattered monolith.
"Try not to die—I'm not fishing your bones out of their droppings."
Shen Guang spat out dirt, his golden eyes locking onto the circling wolves. This wasn't a fight. It was a feeding frenzy waiting to happen.
Sheng Guang stared at the leader of the pack.
The alpha howled and the wolves attacked in unison .
Three wolves lunged -- fangs aimed for his legs, throat and back .
Shen Guang Gale-Stepped sideways, his footfall detonating the ground beneath the lead wolf.
CRACK! The beast flipped mid-air, its ribs audibly snapping.
The pack leader flanked him, its claws raking his shoulder.
Blood sprayed—but Shen Guang spun into the pain , his * Shattering Mountain Shoulder* connecting with the alpha's muzzle.
BOOM! Lightning erupted. The alpha skidded back , its jaw hanging at a grotesque angle.
The remaining wolves swarmed , aiming to drag him down through sheer numbers.
- Shen Guang leaped , using a Gale Step to rebound off a boulder , then slammed downward like a meteor.
"Violet Impact Surge!"
- His shoulder collided with the pack's center, releasing a shockwave that sent wolves flying like leaves in a storm.
Seven wolves lay unconscious . Three limped away whimpering . The alpha rose shakily , one eye swollen shut—but its remaining eye glowed with furious recognition .
"It was easy as hell " shen Guang mocked lady yin , you should give me something more challenging than these helpless wolves .
Lady Yin's Slow Clap:
"Wow. You 'almost' looked competent. Too bad you forgot one.
Shen Guang's stomach dropped.
The 12th wolf —smaller, smarter—had stalked behind him . Its fangs sank into his thigh before he could react.
"GODS *DAMN IT*—" Shen Guang roared.
He grabbed the wolf by the scruff , slammed it into the ground., then Gale-Stepped on its back for good measure .
He tossed a blood replenishing pill inside his mouth while lady yin slipped the alpha core .
" You didn't die but you screamed like a stepped on cat " lady yin said in amusement.
Shen Guang's Response:
(Incoherent grumbling as he limps to the healing pond.)
Shen Guang limped through the shattered clearing, each step sending a fresh jolt of pain up his thigh. Blood trickled down his leg, staining the grass with dark streaks. The adrenaline of battle faded, replaced by a bone-deep weariness that threatened to pull him under.
The healing pond shimmered beneath the moonlight, its surface aglow with faint, silvery runes. Shen Guang collapsed at the edge, his breath ragged, and let his legs dangle into the cool, restorative water. The pain ebbed almost instantly, replaced by a tingling warmth that seeped into his battered muscles and cracked bones.
He closed his eyes, letting the gentle current lap at his wounds. For a moment, the world was silent—no thunder, no mocking laughter, no wolves. Just the soft hum of healing energy and the distant patter of rain.
Am I really getting stronger? he wondered, flexing his fingers beneath the water. Or am I just getting better at surviving her torments?
A shadow fell across the pond. Shen Guang opened one eye to see Lady Yin standing above him, arms crossed, her expression unreadable.
"You did well," she said at last, her voice softer than he expected. "Most would have been torn apart before the second step."
Shen Guang snorted, trying to mask the flicker of pride her words sparked. "You call that praise? I'll need to write it down for posterity."
Lady Yin's lips twitched. "Don't get cocky. The Stormfangs are only the beginning. The path ahead will break you if you let it."
He looked away, watching the ripples in the pond. "I won't break," he murmured. "Not while I have something to prove."
For a long moment, Lady Yin said nothing. Then she tossed a small, glowing pill onto the grass beside him.
"Rest tonight. Tomorrow, we start again. And next time, try not to scream so much."
Shen Guang managed a weak grin. "No promises."
As Lady Yin disappeared into the shadows, Shen Guang leaned back, letting the healing water do its work. The pain dulled, but the memory of the fight lingered—every flash of lightning, every howl, every desperate surge of power.
He wasn't sure if he was becoming a saint or just another monster forged by thunder and pain. But as the rain began to fall harder, drumming a steady rhythm on the pond's surface, Shen Guang made a silent vow.
Whatever comes next, I'll endure. I'll rise. I'll become more than even Lady Yin expects.
He closed his eyes, letting the storm sing him to sleep, and dreamed of violet lightning dancing across the sky.
