Chapter 1: Lei Yin (Part 1)

  The old man took out a piece of beast skin and said, "This is some of the key points of Leilunli's application, it was recorded by me a long time ago, there is also a small surprise, most importantly, some of the principles of wheel power, take it, hmm, store it in the wheel storage space, be careful not to let outsiders get it." This record is extremely precious, it is the foundation of a cultivator, and also the base for a cultivator's future growth, not all cultivators can obtain it.

  Lei Xingfeng took over the animal skin, which was only one foot long and palm wide. It was as hard as steel, a very thin piece, and even had excellent elasticity. The color was dark black, with no words on it. Lei Xingfeng suddenly became stupid and said: "Uh, this...this..." He completely didn't understand.

  The old man chuckled and said: "This is the skin of a star python, a naturally born star beast. Try to stimulate it with your Thunder Wheel power, holding one end in each hand."

  Lei Xingfeng grasped one end with one hand, and the power of Lei Lun burst forth. Instantly, silver-white text jumped out on the black beast skin, quickly flashing before his eyes. He couldn't help but exclaim: "Too fast, too fast! I can't see clearly!"

  The old man said: "Slow down your input of Lei Lun's power!"

  Lei Xingfeng carefully input a Lei Lun force, and the strange beast skin instantly emitted a layer of silver light. In an instant, a segment of text appeared, and this text was like the screen of a previous life's computer, gradually moving, but the text was vertical, not very clear, yet through the Lei Lun force exchange, clearly flowing into his mind. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "So magical! It can actually be like this!"

  The old man smiled and said, "The skin of the Star Python is made into a Record Beast Skin, also known as the Star Python Record. It's not just limited to those who cultivate the Thunder Attribute, but other attribute cultivators can use it too. However, this thing is extremely precious. This piece of Star Python Record can still be written on quite a bit. After you've finished reading, if there's anything you want to record, this piece of Star Python Record will suffice."

  "How do I use it?"

  The old man explained the usage, which was very simple. The output of thoughts and Lei Lun's power didn't even require actual writing, it could be directly presented on the Xing Meng record, much more convenient than computers in his previous life.

  "Wow, this thing is really high-end, very convenient."

  The old man said, "It's not just convenient, the Star Python Record is something that won't decay even after ten thousand years. It can withstand violent destruction and it's almost impossible to damage the skin of the Star Python. The Star Python Record is the best recording tool. Many ancient cultivators used the Star Python Record to record their cultivation experiences. Some cultivators who didn't have any successors would also record their cultivation methods... so, when you see something like this, don't worry about whether you can use it or not, just grab it first and talk later."

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said: "Xing Mang... where can it be hunted?"

  An old man's eyes gleamed with amusement as he chuckled and said, "You want to hunt the Star Beast?"

  "This skin... is too attractive."

  The old man burst out laughing and said, "Haha, Ah Feng, you don't need to think about this for now. Xing Meng is not someone of your level who can be contacted. Hmm, actually, it's impossible for you to contact him right now. Let me think... If you were able to advance to a secret wheel master, with 10,000 secret wheel masters working together, maybe you could threaten the young beast of Xing Meng. If you want to heavily injure it, at least half of the secret wheel masters would have to die. Wanting to kill... almost no hope."

  Lei Xingfeng was startled and said: "Ah? Ah! So fierce!"

  The old man nodded and said, "Of course it's powerful. The skin of the Star Python can not only be used to make a Star Python drum, but also to test the strength of an attack. Any attack that lands on it will leave behind its intensity, allowing for a clear detection of the actual level of attack."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Is there such a good thing? Do you have a star python drum, Grandpa?"

  The old man laughed and said: "What do I want that thing for? That's what large organizations and sects use to test low-level disciples. Truly formidable masters don't need to be tested in this way."

  Lei Xingfeng curiously said: "Oh, is there another way to test it?"

  The old man said, "That's natural. However, if one can reach a high level, there are very few people who are willing to expose their true abilities in front of others. So, in fact, once you've reached a high level, it's enough to understand it yourself, and testing or whatever has little significance."

  Lei Xingfeng continued curiously: "Old Master, have you reached a higher level?"

  The old man raised his hand and flicked him on the forehead, laughing and scolding: "A Feng, you can't even reach the low level, what are you thinking about high level?"

  Lei Xingfeng was stunned, rubbing his forehead and saying: "Huh? I'm already a Thousand Wheel Master, how can I not even be considered a low-level disciple?"

  The old man said, "A thousand wheel master is considered a low-level disciple, and a secret wheel master is just an entry-level one. What about you? You're not even a low-level disciple! There are very few people who cultivate in this place, so if someone becomes a hundred wheel master or a thousand wheel master, it's already quite impressive. But once you leave here, haha, you'll find that your level is really too inferior. That's also why I want you to reach the secret wheel master before going out."

  Lei Xingfeng sighed inwardly and said, "It's actually so bad."

  The old man shook his head and said, "You're not bad at all. You're only 16 years old and have already reached the level of a Thousand Wheel Master. You know, outside, even if you're a genius, it's already very impressive to be able to cultivate to the level of a Hundred Wheel Master in just half a year."

  Lei Xingfeng's eyes widened in disbelief.

  The old man said, "That's right, you didn't hear wrong. Reaching the hundredth wheel in half a year is absolutely a genius that various organizations and sects are fighting for. If at eighteen years old, one reaches the thousandth wheel, at twenty-two years old, the tenthousandth wheel, and at twenty-five years old, the secret wheel... Hehe, those are all sons of heaven."

  Once one reaches the rank of Mì Lún Shī, they officially enter the ranks of a low-level disciple. Those who can achieve this by the age of 25 are extremely rare and are mostly single-attribute geniuses. For those with multiple attributes, reaching Bǎi Lún Shī in ten years is already very good. To reach the level of Mì Lún Shī in one's lifetime is to be extremely lucky. Most people with multiple attributes can only cultivate up to Qiān Lún Shī and Wàn Lún Shī, and have no hope of entering the ranks of Mì Lún Shī.

  Lei Xingfeng finally had a bit of an impression of the world's cultivation system and speed, he said: "So, I'm already quite impressive?" He pointed to his own nose, with a somewhat arrogant tone.

  The old man lightly patted him and said, "What are you proud of? You know... if it weren't for the inspiration from your grandfather's Lei Yin, and if you hadn't been struck by lightning in the storm, would you have such a fast cultivation speed now? Cultivation isn't just about having good innate talent, it also needs inheritance, resources, connections, and most importantly, extremely good luck!"

  Lei Xingfeng smiled and said: "Ah, your luck is also very good!"

  The old man sighed, and had to admit that his luck had indeed been good lately, and he was starting to recover his strength. He also gained an unconventional way of cultivating. He patted Lei Xingfeng's head and said: "Yes, Grandpa has been stealing your thunder recently, haha... otherwise... I would have really died in Hu Yanbao. Since my luck has changed..."

  He suddenly changed his face and said: "...... Maybe some people are going to be unlucky, haha!"

  Lei Xingfeng was really curious, what level had the old man reached? He asked: "Old Master, what is above the Secret Wheel Master? Old Master, what level have you reached?"

  The old man said, "What level I am at, you don't need to ask. This will make you too ambitious and that's not good... As for the levels above the Secret Wheel Master, it's okay to tell you about them. The Secret Wheel Master is a hurdle for cultivators, but the real first threshold is when the Secret Wheel Master advances to the next level. That's where the middle power of this world lies. Their power can look down on anyone below the Secret Wheel Master."

  Lei Xingfeng's eyes shone brightly as he exclaimed: "What is it? What is it?"

  "Old man said: 'Mysterious wheel true person, able to condense a ring of true body is a real master! Life can reach one hundred and twenty years, hmm, this one hundred and twenty years old, is the age that can maintain young people's vitality. If not promoted, generally can live up to one hundred and fifty years around, in this world, they have a noble status, with prominent power, even if there is no organization sect, alone in the world, they are also not lightly viewed masters.'"

  The real deal!

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Grandfather, can I finally reach the level of a true Mysterious Wheel Master?"

  The old man raised his hand and slapped him, scolding: "Can't you be a bit more sensible? The True Man of the Secret Wheel is not your destination, that's where you truly start... from the starting point!"

  Lei Xingfeng tapped his fingers on the table and calculated, he bitterly smiled: "I want to reach Wan Lun Master, Mi Lun Master, only then can I become Mi Lun True Person, it seems quite difficult."

  The old man couldn't help but laugh and cry as he said, "For others it may be difficult, but for you, it's really not hard." He wasn't worried that Lei Xingfeng lacked ambition. Once one cultivates the Thunder Wheel Technique, their personality will undergo a huge change. No matter if they were previously timid or cowardly, once they cultivate the Thunder Wheel Technique, they will become bold and impulsive, charging forward without hesitation. Of course, their previous personality would still have some influence, but it wouldn't affect the overall direction of their personality.

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Right, this True Person... is it a title?"

  The old man nodded and said, "Yes, it's a title that means you've reached a certain level. At the same time, this title is also an honorable one. Not just anyone can be called a True Person; only those who have condensed their true self can be called a True Person."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Old man, are you a real person too?"

  The old man looked at him with a smile and said, "What do you think?"

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Hmm, I think so too, Master must be a real person."

  The old man said, "You don't need to think too much about it. Practicing diligently is the real deal. At first... bitter practice is correct. Once you reach a certain level, hehe, you'll need to go out and make your own way. Anyone who has condensed their true self and reached the level of a True Person must have something unique to them. Otherwise... it will be very difficult to increase their strength later on, because the road ahead will become increasingly difficult to walk. So-called geniuses are only in an absolutely advantageous position at the beginning..."
