However, facing Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was finally getting serious in mid-air, Yun Chuan remained calm and composed, saying with an exceptionally indifferent expression: "Elder Ju, I know you were holding back earlier and weren't serious at all. Since that's the case, I knew those attacks couldn't harm you, so why would I keep wasting spirit power on useless efforts? Aren't you curious why I did that?"
"Oh, why is that?" Chrysanthemum Douluo in mid-air was clearly intrigued and asked curiously.
"Do you know how lightning in nature is formed?" Yun Chuan asked a seemingly irrelevant question with a leisurely expression.
Then, without waiting for Elder Ju to ask, he began to explain, as if reciting from a book: "Thunder is a phenomenon formed by the mutual attraction of positive and negative charges between clouds, and between clouds and the earth, creating immense friction with the atmosphere. During the friction with the atmosphere, it causes the atmosphere to heat up rapidly and expand, finally producing a huge sound. This is the thunder that people often hear.
Thunder and lightning usually appear together, typically in the afternoon or evening during summer. This is because during these two periods, the hot air from the ground carries a large amount of water vapor upwards, forming cumulonimbus clouds. Various parts of cumulonimbus clouds gather a large amount of positive and negative charges, forming thunderclouds. As the charges in the clouds accumulate, lightning will eventually form."
Chrysanthemum Douluo listened, completely bewildered. He felt like he knew every word, but when combined, he couldn't understand it at all.
"So, what are you trying to say?"
Yun Chuan didn't reply, his expression leisurely as he looked up at the sky. Chrysanthemum Douluo also subconsciously looked up, only to see that the originally clear sky had, at some unknown point, developed a gloomy cumulonimbus cloud!
"Strange, how could such a large dark cloud suddenly appear?" Chrysanthemum Douluo thought to himself when he saw the dark cloud above.
"This move was an accidental inspiration of mine. Previously, I could only use it on overcast and rainy days because lightning only exists on such days. If I were to artificially create an overcast and rainy day, it would consume too much spirit power. Compared to the attack power, it's simply not worth it!" Yun Chuan looked at the large cumulonimbus cloud above, then turned to Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was still floating in mid-air, completely unaware. He said with a smile: "However, the main goal now is to pass the test, so a little more spirit power consumption doesn't matter."
At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo noticed that it had started to drizzle from the sky above. Even in the gloomy clouds, streaks of electric snakes gradually began to flash.
"Boom! Rumble! ! !"
Electric snakes flashed within the cumulonimbus clouds above the sky. Facing this power from nature, even Chrysanthemum Douluo, a Titled Douluo, felt his heart tremble slightly!
"I name this move — Heavenly Scourge!"
As his voice fell.
A tiny ball of lightning suddenly appeared in Yun Chuan's palm, crackling with flashing electric arcs. With a flick of his finger, the small lightning ball transformed into a silver streak that shot up into the sky, directly into the cumulonimbus clouds above.
In an instant, it was as if heavenly thunder ignited earthly fire.
As the lightning ball from Yun Chuan's hand shot into the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky, as if drawn by some force, streaks of lightning, like electric snakes, immediately raged, with Chrysanthemum Douluo in mid-air bearing the brunt!
Fast! Too fast!
Facing the suddenly descending lightning, Chrysanthemum Douluo's hairs stood on end, as if he had encountered a life-or-death crisis. Without thinking, he immediately unleashed his seventh Spirit Ability, Martial Soul True Body!
"Rumble! ! !"
The lightning struck with a roar.
Even with Martial Soul True Body activated in time, Chrysanthemum Douluo was still in a sorry state, battered by the streaks of lightning descending from the sky. He dared not directly face these lightning bolts that came from nature, carrying immense heavenly might. He could only activate Martial Soul True Body and try his best to dodge, fleeing frantically in mid-air.
Streaks of lightning seemed to have him targeted, relentlessly chasing and striking him.
"Passed."
Yun Chuan looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was forced to use his Martial Soul True Body and was fleeing in a sorry state in mid-air, a victorious smile appearing on his face.
It was not in vain that he had secretly planned for a long time; this Heavenly Scourge move was indeed infinitely powerful.
Unfortunately, it had very high requirements for the environmental conditions; it could only unleash its maximum power on overcast and rainy days. As for creating a cumulonimbus cloud himself like today, other opponents might not give him such an opportunity.
The various flame creations he had released earlier were actually intended to rapidly increase the temperature of the surrounding air, thereby creating updrafts. These updrafts would then generate cumulonimbus clouds, and finally, the cumulonimbus clouds would produce lightning!
However, to create such a suitable environment and then form cumulonimbus clouds, it was obviously not something that could be completed in a short while. If Chrysanthemum Douluo had not wanted to play with him and only focused on neutralizing his attacks, if he had truly used all his means to attack him from the start, Yun Chuan would have lost long ago. How could he have had the chance to create such a cumulonimbus cloud?
Moreover, Chrysanthemum Douluo himself contributed greatly to the early formation of this cumulonimbus cloud. The petals he used to neutralize Yun Chuan's flames not only carried ample water vapor but also cold air... These all made significant contributions to the formation of the cumulonimbus cloud. Without these contributions, it would not have been so easy for Yun Chuan alone to create such a large cumulonimbus cloud.
"Rumble! Boom! ... ... ..."
Although the cumulonimbus cloud came quickly, it also dissipated quickly.
Soon, as the rain continued to fall from the clouds.
The originally dark cloud gradually began to turn white, and the lightning became less and less frequent. Finally, when the rain completely disappeared, the cumulonimbus cloud, which had been so difficult to create, also completed its mission and slowly dissipated.
In mid-air.
At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo looked exceptionally disheveled. His hair stood on end, and his skin had turned somewhat black. Clearly, during the process of dodging the lightning strikes just now, although he wasn't directly hit by fatal lightning, he couldn't dodge the dense, small lightning bolts.
Now, he no longer had his original calm and composed demeanor. The dignified Titled Douluo was made to look like an African beggar by the lightning.
"Elder Ju, thank you for letting me win." Looking at Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had descended to the ground with a face as dark as Bao Gong's, Yun Chuan tried hard to suppress his laughter and cupped his hands, saying: "I also have to thank Elder Ju for showing mercy, which allowed me to brew this move and ultimately pass the test."
"...What is that move of yours called?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was silent for a long while before he managed to squeeze out this sentence.
"Elder Ju, I named this move Heavenly Scourge!"
Yun Chuan began to explain, "The specific principle is to use special methods to create thunderclouds, and then use lightning as a guide to borrow the power of natural lightning to fight enemies! Actually, Elder Ju, if you hadn't flown in mid-air just now and had chosen to land directly, you wouldn't have been so disheveled."
'Nonsense, in that emergency situation, who had time to think so much?' Chrysanthemum Douluo cursed inwardly. Facing the overwhelming lightning striking him from the sky at that time, anyone's first reaction would be to quickly dodge, right?
Moreover, the lightning at that time was continuous, giving him no time to stop and think. This was just him; if it were an ordinary Titled Douluo, they definitely wouldn't have been able to dodge the first lightning strike alone. They would have been severely injured on the spot, and then instantly turned to charcoal by the subsequent continuous lightning!
