Han xing's Breakthrough
A lightning surged violently through Han xing's body, scorching his veins and muscles. His limbs trembled as the final barrier shattered. Qi exploded, and the world around him blurred into streaks of red and gold.
Inside his dantian, a sea of blood roared like a stormy ocean. Jagged crimson peaks rose from the waves, and within them, faint silhouettes of kings An Asura king , a beasts of storm and flame radiated overwhelming, dominant and killing intent.
Han xing's mind cleared. He could feel every pulse of qi, every nerve, every flicker of lightning. Thoughts that once took hours now illuminated in an instant.
Foundation Building. Mind Stage so I'm one step closer to my desires
A faint smile tugged at his lips. The world bends to those who master themselves. This… is only the beginning.
The inner storm settled, leaving a steady, unshakable power humming through him.
Seeking Guidance
Descending from the peak, Han xing's body hummed with new found speed and power. Crimson qi danced along his limbs like a part of his body and this should all thank to commander ling .
"Commander Ling," he said, tone steady, "where can I train this new martial art?"
Ling studied him. "Not inside the city. In the Demon Beast Mountain. Dangerous… but fitting. Step carefully, boy. Just like it name the mountain is full demon beast and the place you have to go is the lighting peak it full of thunder energy is favorable Conditions for you training but to clear it the territory of the thunder wolf king so . It ok I'm not going to die .
Han xing bowed. "Then that is where I will go."
Lightning Adaptation
On the rocky peaks of Demon Beast Mountain, the storm roared overhead. Lightning fractured the sky, striking the rocks around him. Han xing spread his arms, letting the thunder crash over his body. Pain shot through his muscles as red lightning wrapped around him like living fire.
If it weren't for my strong body … this lightning would tear me apart.
He endured, letting the lightning fuse with his meridians, integrating its power into his limbs. Slowly, he ran across jagged rocks, crimson arcs mix with Asura killing intent trailing behind him. Ten steps. Twenty. Each movement faster, smoother, instinctive. His Violent Sky Thunder Step had become an extension of himself.
Now… to test it in battle.
The Wolf Pack
From the forest below, silver-furred wolves streaked forward, eyes glowing with blue lightning energy. Han xing's crimson qi flared, forming a massive halberd in his hands. Crimson lightning wrapped weapon and body alike, fusing them into one seamless instrument of destruction.
The wolves lunged in coordinated packs of three and four. Han xing's halberd moved like a blade of living lightning, sweeping arcs, piercing, blocking, and striking. For ten fierce rounds, wolves fell, their howls echoing across the mountain. Blood hissed as it met the lightning, scorching the ground.
Then, from the shadows, a larger figure emerged shadow from the mountain peak.
The Thunder Wolf King. Its mane crackled with pure lightning, eyes blazing like storm clouds. It leapt, claws cover with lighting slashing through the air with the force of thunder.
Han xing's gaze sharpened. First Stage Foundation Building… its strength is formidable demon beast at the same stage are stronger the human.
The wolf's claws struck, lightning cascading across the battlefield. Han xing met it head-on, parrying with his halberd, every strike igniting arcs of crimson energy. Sparks rained as claw met weapon.
Observing the wolf's attack patterns, inspiration struck. If I can combine my sword qi with lightning… project it outward… and control multiple strikes simultaneously…
Crimson qi condensed, forming three lightning-charged sword qi slashes in his hand.
"What should I call it . I know it a technique than is will use to kill a thunder king I should call it Crimson Lightning first technique crimson king slayer"
He unleashed the technique. Three arcs of lightning-forged sword qi shot forward, striking the Thunder Wolf King simultaneously. The beast roared, faltering under the unprecedented attack.
With a final, precise slash, the Wolf King collapsed, leaving only smoke and lightning-charged fur in its wake.
🌩 Experimentation with Crimson Lightning
After the battle, Han xing stood amid the shattered forest, crimson lightning still rippling over his body. He experimented, testing the limits of Crimson Lightning:
Projecting arcs to hit multiple targets at once.
Controlling the trajectory mid-flight, slicing branches, rocks, and lightning-charged wolves in the distance.
Combining it with Thunder Step to appear in multiple positions during a single volley.
This… is more than a technique. It's a part of me.
He let the energy swirl in his palms, visualizing new attacks, refining precision, speed, and control. Every movement sharpened his mind as much as his body.
Super talent… genius… call it what you will. But nothing can match this.
The mountain wind whistled past, carrying the echoes of the fallen wolves and the crackle of his crimson qi. Han xing's path had advanced. His mind, body, and martial dao were now one, ready for whatever challenge came next.
With a flick of his wrist, Han xing launched a lightning-forged dagger; a tree splintered under its strike. From the shadow of the trees, Ling Su Ren appeared, calling urgently, "Han xing! Father has a mission for you.
