Chapter 1: Lei Yin (Part 1)

  Lei Xingfeng had never seen the old man smile so strangely before. He said: "Old man, what are you smiling about?"

  The old man couldn't help but reveal his joy on his face, and he said: "A Feng, for this period of time... you take good care of Little Sister at home, I need to go out for a while."

  Lei Xingfeng was shocked: "Grandfather, where are you going?" Since he came to this world, Grandfather had never left Hu Yanbao, and suddenly hearing the old man wanted to go out, he felt a little flustered. Although he was about to reach the level of Qian Lun Shi, the old man was his anchor, and that was indispensable.

  The old man said: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Ah Feng, before I return, don't leave Hu Yanbao. The terrain here is treacherous and easy to defend but hard to attack, it's relatively safer."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "But... Grandfather, we just started stockpiling food to get through the winter, this little bit of food is not enough!"

  The old man said: "Don't worry about that, I'll bring it back."

  Lei Xingfeng calculated that the barbarian cattle he hunted had a lot of meat, which was all cured and dried under the eaves. There were also two complete barbarian cowhides and horns that could be exchanged for many things. Moreover, with the old man leaving, there would be one less person to feed, so it seemed that they could barely make it through the winter if they were careful. He said: "Alright, Grandpa, if you can come back early, I can still go hunting once more."

  The old man said: "I'll be back soon, Ah Feng, take care of your little sister, don't worry about anything else."

  "Grandpa, I and brother will stay at home obediently."

  Lei Xingfeng climbed up, he only felt sore all over his body, and bitterly smiled: "This aftereffect is not light, damn it, my whole body hurts!"

  The old man said: "You just need to cultivate once and you'll be fine, there's too much accumulated thunder power inside your body, you need to transform it into Thunder Wheel Power."

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said: "Alright, Yao Yao go to Qing Aunt's house, I'll go cultivate."

  The little girl knew that practicing was important, she nodded obediently and said: "Mm, I'll go find Xiang Xiang Jie to play."

  The old man picked up his pace and said: "A Feng, walk with A Ye for a while, there are some things to say."

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Alright, actually he has many questions to ask."

  ……

  Arriving at the cliff where they would cultivate, the grandfather and grandson sat down. The old man said: "You go first and cultivate, dissolve the thunder force in your body. Hehe, this time you should be able to break through the Thousand Wheel Force and reach the level of a Thousand Wheel Master."

  The power of the violent thunder operation started to revolve, and in an instant, countless electric arcs appeared on Lei Xingfeng's body.

  The old man took a step back, gazing intently at Lei Xingfeng's cultivation, his mind pondering something unknown, the smile on his face growing increasingly radiant.

  Lei Xingfeng's cultivation this time felt completely different, the Lei Lun force began to surge again, and it was a crazy growth. In less than an hour, the Lei Lun force had smoothly broken through the thousand wheel force, reaching 1,800 Lei Lun force, before finally starting to slow down.

  The old man waited for Leixing Peak to open his eyes. The silver light that had spread all over his body converged, and only then did he say, "How is it?"

  Lei Xingfeng exclaimed: "It's exceeded, the power of a thousand wheels has been surpassed!"

  The old man nodded and smiled, "As I expected, the next step is to temper your Lei Lun power, forming a Lei ring..." He began to explain in detail.

  Lei Xingfeng listened carefully, occasionally raising questions, and the old man patiently answered. The so-called Lei Lunli formation of the Lei ring is a manifestation of the embodiment of the Lei Lunli, when it reaches the thousand wheel master, the Lei Lunli forms the Lei ring, which can protect the body.

  The old man said: "Also... is the compression of Lei Lun's power. Each Lei Lun's power needs to be compressed, this doesn't require a special time for cultivation, as long as you have time, you can do it. One Lei Lun's power forms one Lei ring. You must remember this secret of compression, this is my unique cultivation method, be careful not to spread it outside."

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Mm."

  The old man taught with all his heart, and Lei Xingfeng made a great effort to memorize. This kind of teaching cannot be recorded and must be remembered in one's mind, especially this unique teaching method, which cannot be passed on. This is the unique cultivation heritage of the Lei family.

  Lei Xingfeng tried to temper a Lei Lun force, and sure enough, after a few minutes, he successfully tempered a loose Lei Lun force into a ring. If the original Lei Lun force was a loose bundle of steel wires, then after tempering, this Lei Lun force had become a strand of steel rope. Just by changing its shape, it had increased its power level. This kind of tempering could be done at any time, so Lei Xingfeng didn't continue.

  The old man said, "This is just the basic method, and later there are advanced methods. The power of the Thunder Wheel needs to be tempered with various techniques until it forms a wheel seal. Of course, it's a bit early to talk about the wheel seal now. Hmm, you're currently focusing on tempering the Thunder Wheel this year, try to quickly improve your Thunder Wheel power. This is the foundation-building stage, and how well or poorly the foundation is laid will determine how high you can reach in the future."

  The two chatted for a while, and the old man said: "Alright, that's it for today. From now on, you must come to practice every day. I'm leaving."

  Lei Xingfeng accompanied the old man to the entrance of the cliff, where the old man sat in a basket and descended to the bottom of the cliff wall. Only then did Lei Xingfeng leave the cliff and head home.

  ……

  The thunderstorm walked out of the basket, waving his hand upwards, and the basket slowly rose. He let out a long sigh, having been stuck in this small place of Tiger Cliff Fortress for almost forty years. He had always thought he would die in this small place, but never expected there would be a day to walk out.

  Don't look at his declining appearance, if a few hunters come, he is not their opponent at all. In his heyday, he was a very famous master. If he hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have come to this small place to raise his children and pass on his bloodline.

  Soon, the thunderstorm entered into the forest.

  Lei Bo's goal was clear, he needed to find a thunderstorm day, and he required lightning to stimulate himself, according to his intuition, he headed straight north.

  Relying on his intuition about thunder and lightning, Lei Bao had been shuttling back and forth in the dense forest. Two days later, he found a suitable place. Looking at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, the old man cracked a smile. Without hesitation, he found a giant ancient tree and climbed up it like a monkey. This guy's understanding of thunder and lightning was extremely profound. After climbing to the top of the tree, he swung his axe and started chopping. A few minutes later, the treetop snapped off.

  Lei Bo brought two weapons, an axe and a steel spear. He inserted the steel spear into the tree trunk's fracture and looked up at the sky. Then he sat down on the branch of the fractured tree and tied himself to the branch with a rope, quietly waiting for the storm to arrive.

  Rustle! Rumble...

  A flash of lightning flashed in the distance, and a loud thunderclap shook the air. Even the storm itself seemed to feel a thrill of fear. The man muttered a curse under his breath, knowing he had no choice but to make one final attempt. If he succeeded, everything would be fine; if not, he probably wouldn't survive either.

  This ancient tree is extremely tall, although its top was cut off by lightning, it is still much taller than other trees, like a flagpole standing upright in the dense forest, and with a full steel long spear, this thing is absolutely an instrument for attracting lightning.

  Boom!

  In the distance, an ancient tree was struck by lightning and burst into flames. The old man felt a slight unease in his heart, and he muttered to himself: "Damn it, the first thunder is too loud... I don't know if I can take it... damn, it's fierce!"

  The raindrops as big as broad beans fell down with a patter, and in a few breaths, Lei Bo was already soaked to the skin.

  The old man held the steel spear with both hands, staring blankly at the sky. The rain grew heavier and heavier, and the continuous thunder rolled in, lightning flashing across the sky. Finally, a bolt of lightning struck down violently, hitting the steel spear in an instant.

  Boom!

  In an instant, the old man became a radiant being.

  Innumerable lightning bolts surged in, and the old man couldn't see anything. Even with his eyes closed, he felt a sharp pain from the silver-white light piercing his eyes. At this moment, he began to operate the Thunderbolt Technique, which was a bit unfamiliar to him. This was a technique he had created by combining many of his cultivation methods.

  At this moment, the old man understood in his heart that he had gambled correctly and grasped another secret of lightning.

  Decades of withered and stagnant power suddenly surged up, just like a dry riverbed in the desert that was suddenly filled with a large amount of water, instantly bursting forth.

  This violent surge was different from the one at Lei Xing Peak. A flash of lightning illuminated the sky, and in an instant, the old man's cultivation level soared to that of a Mi Lun Master, without any waste whatsoever. The old man suddenly stood up, and the ropes binding him snapped instantly. He looked up at the sky and let out a long roar, his hand grasping the steel spear. He bellowed: "Come on, come on, the more the better! Haha, haha, hahahaha!"

  Boom! Boom!

  Continuous thunder struck down, the steel spear was actually hit by lightning and flew wildly, the old man grasped the steel spear tightly, crazily absorbing the lightning, his cultivation began to soar, the power of the thunder wheel gradually transformed into the power of the thunder seal.

  For a whole day, when the dark clouds dispersed, the old man shook his head reluctantly. With a few more claps of thunder, he could recover 40% of his strength. If he recovered 60% of his strength, he would have the power to possess the Thunder Seal, also known as the Lei Yin. Only then would he be a top-notch master who truly dominated the world.

  It was just a moment, the old man smiled and relaxed, he was already satisfied with being able to recover to this extent. He thought to himself: "A few more times, I should be able to recover sixty percent of my strength, enough to take Ah Feng and Yao Yao away from this place."

  He pulled out the steel spear, only to find that the egg-sized steel spear had actually thinned by a circle. The steel spear still had its uses, and he picked it up, flying directly into the air, chasing after the distant dark clouds.

  ……

  Lei Xingfeng returned home and saw the tribe leader Hu Cangya and several hunting team leaders, Ke Dashi was among them. He asked in surprise: "Tribe leader, Uncle Ke, how did you come here?"

  Hu Cangya said: "This time over, there's something to discuss."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "The room is too small, let's just do it in the courtyard." He moved a few large stones and said: "Everyone sit down, patriarch, if there's anything to be done, please instruct."

  Hu Cangya smiled bitterly and said, "This time the Tiger Cliff Fortress suffered a heavy loss. If it wasn't for you, Ah Feng, driving away the Eagle Leader's men, our Tiger Cliff Fortress would have been finished. I represent the Tiger Cliff Fortress hunters to thank you."

  Lei Xingfeng said, "No need to be polite, I'm also a member of Hu Xiaobao, this is what should be done." He knew in his heart that the patriarch didn't come to his house just to thank him.
