Chapter 1: Lei Yin (Part 1)

  In an instant, he arrived at the top of the tree, and with a slap of his palm, the massive treetop came crashing down. He stood up his steel spear and inserted it into the trunk. He raised his head to stare at the sky, as flashes of lightning streaked across the clouds. With his hand on the steel spear, he began to rotate the Wheel of Power with all his might. Just a little more, and he would be able to convert the Wheel of Power into Seal Power, restoring him to his original strength.

  Chulsa, Chulsin, and Insin are the three levels of power. Chulsa is the lowest level of power, while Insin is the highest level of power.

  Crack! Boom!

  Attracted by the power of the old man, a lightning bolt struck down from the sky and hit the vertical steel spear in an instant.

  In an instant, the old man was like a shining light bulb, emitting dazzling rays of light, and a huge amount of energy surged into his body through the steel spear.

  Lei Xingfeng wrapped Lei Xingyao in animal hide and placed her in the corner of the tree hole. Only then did he walk to the entrance of the tree hole, where he could already feel the dense thunder power, but he didn't dare leave. The little girl was sleeping inside the tree hole, and if no one guarded her, once a wild beast came in, the consequences would be unbearable for him. So he sat at the entrance of the tree hole and began to cultivate.

  The cultivation started, and Leixing Peak immediately felt the difference. The power of the Thunder Wheel grew rapidly, originally increasing one by one, but now dozens of Thunder Wheels were growing at a time. In less than a minute, over a hundred Thunder Wheels had grown, no wonder Grandfather wanted him to cultivate on rainy days, this kind of explosive growth in strength was indeed very satisfying.

  The non-stop explosions on his head, flashes of lightning striking down, Lei Xingfeng's strength grew wildly.

  Lei Xingyao had fully woken up, and she saw Lei Xingfeng sitting at the entrance of the tree cave, with a faint silver glow emanating from his body, quietly shrinking into the beast skin, staring silently. She instinctively knew that this was absolutely not the time to disturb her brother, as long as she could see him there, it was enough to put her mind at ease.

  The strength of the two men was soaring, but one was recovering from his injuries and the other was genuinely improving. The thunderstorm didn't last long, and when the sky began to brighten up slightly, it had already come to an end. However, the heavy snow continued to fall gently.

  Lei Xingfeng let out a long sigh, and in just this short half night's time, he had almost reached the power of Wan Lun. This terrifying speed of improvement was something even he hadn't expected, but he still needed to further solidify and refine his Lei Lun force.

  The old man climbed up to the top of the tree and quickly came down, his face full of joy as he walked into the hollow.

  "Lei Xingfeng asked: "Grandfather, how is it?"

  The old man laughed and said: "Very good, come again next time, it will be completely restored, haha."

  Lei Xingfeng and the old man sat down, Lei Xingyao carried a thick fur over, she buried her head in Lei Xingfeng's arms, covering herself with the animal skin. When Lei Xingfeng was cultivating, she hadn't slept, now she was very sleepy, like a puppy finding its nest, snuggling into Lei Xingfeng's arms, the warm environment soon made her fall asleep.

  The wrinkles on the old man's face are getting fewer and fewer, revealing a rosy complexion that only young people have, his waist is straight, his eyes are shining brightly, it's like he has become a completely different person.

  Lei Xingfeng didn't know what kind of strength the old man possessed, but he was very clear about the changes in the old man's heart. He was excited that the old man was strong, which meant safety for him and Lei Xingyao. This world wasn't safe, but with a master like Grandfather to shield them from the wind and rain, he had no objections at all.

  "Grandfather, if we leave Hu Yanbao, where will we go?"

  The old man smiled slightly and said: "What? Can't bear it anymore? Hehe."

  Lei Xingfeng smiled and said: "Yes, I've lived in this place for too long, I want to go out and take a look."

  The old man said, "I'll take you with me, I don't want to stay here either..." He sighed and said, "Alas, I thought... I would die in this damned place, didn't expect there's still a chance to turn things around, haha!" As he spoke, he became excited again.

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Ah, I'm still short of over a thousand more wheel turns before I can enter the realm of a Ten Thousand Wheel Master!"

  The old man was overjoyed and said: "Good, very good. I'll teach you a set of exercises to cultivate your ring's power quickly and purify the Thunder Ring."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Doesn't the Star Python Record have a method?"

  The old man shook his head and began to teach a set of cultivation methods. The method was extremely simple, and as soon as the old man said it, Lei Xingfeng understood. He said, "Is this the Wheel Walk? Wheel power pursues compression, moving quickly within the body? This... will it be effective?"

  This method is so simple that Leixing Feng would not believe it.

  The old man sighed and said, "The simpler the method, the more effective it is. Just like I never thought of directly absorbing lightning, but the effect was so strong. If I had discovered this method after I got injured, I wouldn't have had to run here to hide."

  "The method of walking the wheel, anyone who cultivates wheel power can use it, this is my unique skill, except for your little sister, don't tell others, this method is very easy to learn, but the effect is excellent, especially in the stage of wheel power and wheel print power, it is the best pure wheel power technique."

  The old man spoke with unusual solemnity.

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said: "Yes, Grandfather, I remember." He replied very solemnly.

  After resting for a day, there was still no sign of the Thunder Snow that night. The next morning, the old man took Lei Xingfeng and Lei Xingyao to continue searching for the Thunder Snow in the snowy wilderness.

  Lei Xingfeng spent a day and night cultivating in the Wheel of Thunder method, although his thunder wheel power did not increase, each of his thunder wheel powers became extremely powerful, and after condensing into rings, they were very easy to use.

  Along the way, the old man occasionally imparted various wheel techniques, which were all unspoken secrets. Any sect, except for master-disciple relationships, would not be able to obtain such meticulous instruction. Many disciples of large sects and organizations often received rough and simple training methods, unless they were exceptionally talented individuals who were being groomed by the sect, in which case they would receive preferential treatment and access to superior resources and techniques. Of course, exceptionally talented individuals usually ended up becoming apprentices to great masters.

  Some things can be recorded, some cannot be recorded and must be memorized. In the evening, Leixingfeng not only studies these skills but also organizes Xingmanlu, recording his own experiences and insights.

  With a master like Leibo in charge, there was no danger on the road at all. From time to time, they would even kill some ferocious beasts and get some fresh meat.

  If the weather is fine, Leixing Feng will let Leixing Yao come down and walk on her own, and also strengthen her exercise. She is still young and has not yet reached the stage of cultivating the wheel of power, so she must exercise her body. The little girl can endure hardship very well, and during exercise, she is very serious, sometimes Leixing Feng even feels unbearable.

  Lei Xingyao felt no discomfort, she ran high-spiritedly on the snowy ground. According to Grandpa's teachings, she could find some remaining wild fruits on tree branches in the forest, and she was more adaptable than Grandpa and her brother.

  The old man sighed and said, "No wonder it's a life attribute, with a natural affinity for the forest. Once Yao Yao starts cultivating, she'll definitely progress very quickly. Hehe, if Yao Yao cultivates to the level of a Mysterious Wheel Master, Ah Feng, you'll be blessed."

  Lei Xingfeng had known this for a long time, that people with Green Wheel Power are best at extracting the essence of plants and condensing it into medicinal liquids, which is extremely useful for treating injuries and enhancing wheel power. Moreover, Green Wheel Power is also a rare potential, usually appearing in three or four-wheel talents, belonging to miscellaneous wheels. However, Lei Xingyao's single-attribute Green Wheel Power is undoubtedly exceptional, and this talent is so good that it makes people envious.

  ……

  The army led by Eagle has arrived at the foot of the cliff under Tiger Cliff Fortress.

  Du Hongchen looked up at the nearly hundred-zhang high cliff, and exclaimed: "This place is really good, the terrain is treacherous, easy to defend and hard to attack. The terrain of your Eagle's Nest is far inferior."

  The eagle could only nod constantly, his words were annoying, so he simply didn't speak. Eagle Da Fei looked at the cliff wall for a moment and said, "How are we going to get in?"

  Du Hongchen said: "It's simple, first let Zhi Chilü climb up and throw down the rope, then let the Qingchu small team go up, occupy the stone fortress, control the entrance and exit. Hehe, this place is indeed not easy to enter and exit. Once we control the stone fortress that controls the entrance and exit, and control the pulley, the people in Hu Yanbao will not be able to escape."

  For hunters, climbing up a hundred-meter-high cliff in the snow is almost an impossible task, but for Maitreya, this kind of precipice is no longer a problem.

  The team of hunters led by Eagle wasn't at the location of the Stone Fortress but rather a few hundred meters to the side, precisely in order to avoid being discovered.

  Launching a surprise attack on Tiger Cliff Fortress is unrealistic, as the terrain here is simply too good. Even if Du Hongchen had a One-Ring True Body or was a Mysterious Wheel True Person, he still wouldn't be able to fly directly up; he would have to climb along the cliff face, during which time he could be attacked and would need to defend himself. The handholds on the cliff aren't many, and it just so happens that it's snowing today, with icicles hanging from the cliff face.

  Zan Akira carefully observed the cliff wall below, he needed to choose a route to climb up, preferably with a fulcrum point. Wearing his tight-fitting leather suit, as a密轮师 (secret wheel master), he could condense his own密环铠 (secret ring armor) and 轮力铠 (wheel power armor). The密环铠 was formed by condensing the wheel's power, so he wasn't worried about his defensive capabilities.

  After searching for several times, Zan Chixiao also began to lament that this cliff was too steep. Some parts of the cliff wall even protruded outward, especially at the top, which made it impossible to climb up. There were only a few places with a small number of ice picks hanging on them.

  "Have you found a way up?"

  Zan Akira let out a wry smile and said, "This section is fine at the bottom, but when we get to the middle section, there's a hanging ice wall that needs to be crossed. We need to move left and follow that crevice, and even then it's still a long shot." He checked again several times, and his confidence began to wane.

  Du Hongchen said: "Look again, there must be a way out. I don't believe it, such a long cliff wall won't have a suitable place. How did the people from Hu Yanbao get in back then? Clearing squad, split up and search, be careful not to go to the stone fortress side!"

  Everyone responded in unison and immediately dispersed to find a suitable place to climb.

  Du Hongchen looked up at the cliff and thought: "Damn it, I really can't do it, I'll climb up myself!"
