Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 177 Passed! Thunder Tribulation Body
"I thought it was amazing, but it turns out it was only strong at the beginning."

"What's the point of being aggressive at the beginning? This depends on who can last longer!"

"That's what all young boys do."

……

Outside of Lei Valley, the people of Gezhao Mountain talked about Li Kunshan who was still sitting on the bluestone, with a hint of sarcasm on their faces.

Five days passed, and Li Kunshan still only walked a hundred meters.

"Certainly not."

Ignoring the trolls, Li Kunshan held his chin with one hand and pondered in his heart.

During these five days, he entered Thunder Valley seven times.

There was an hour between the second and first times, and then three hours, six hours, twelve hours, one day, and three days, but the results were all the same, the experience points of the Thunder Technique could not be increased.

He figured that the reason why being struck by lightning in Thunder Valley could increase his experience points in Thunder Techniques was because the lightning contained special "energy" that stimulated him, thereby improving his mastery of thunder techniques.

The further in you go, the more powerful the lightning will be, and the stronger the stimulation will be.

When the experience value stops increasing, it means that the body has fully adapted to this intensity of stimulation and needs new and stronger stimulation, which means continuing to move forward.

Since I have already fully adapted to the power of thunder and lightning, it is impossible to increase the experience value of Thunder Technique no matter how long the interval is.

"pity."

After thinking this through, Li Kunshan couldn't help but sigh.

In this way, this Thunder Valley can only be used once and cannot be used repeatedly.

"also."

But on second thought, even so, the increased experience points would save him a lot of practice time.

One should not be too greedy, especially since he is a Taoist priest.

I decided not to think about it anymore and prepared to enter the valley again.

Since we already know that the first 100 meters can no longer provide experience, this time it will naturally not stop at 100 meters.

"It's really you!"

Just as I was about to stand up, a shout was heard and three young men came over.

Seeing these three people, the disciples of Gezhao Mountain at the entrance of Thunder Valley retreated one after another with respectful expressions.

"I heard a Maoshan disciple came to learn thunder magic, and I knew it was you!"

The three of them walked straight up to Li Kunshan with serious expressions.

"So it's you two fellow Taoists."

Looking up at the three people, Li Kunshan couldn't help but smile.

When Ge Shan and Ge Yan were first ordained, they represented Gezhao Mountain. Ge Shan was Li Kunshan's opponent, while Ge Yan was defeated by Zhang Zhiwei.

I heard that they successfully received their first degree the following year. They were actually quite capable and were considered the best among their peers. Unfortunately, they met Li Kunshan and Zhang Zhiwei, one a jerk and the other a chosen one.

"Who is this fellow Taoist?"

The person in the middle of the two was unknown to him. He looked a few years younger than Ge Shan and Ge Yan.

"This is our cousin, his name is Ge Zhen."

Geshan spoke, a hint of pride on his face.

"I've met Taoist friends."

Li Kunshan bowed and smiled slightly.

Qian, Kun, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, and Gen; heaven, earth, marsh, fire, thunder, wind, water, and mountain. The Zhen hexagram just represents thunder.

If Li Kunshan remembered correctly, Ge Shan practiced the mountain seal, and Ge Yan practiced the fire seal, which corresponded to the two of wind, forest, mountain and fire. The Ge family on Gezhao Mountain has been passed down to this day, and has many branches. The names seem to correspond to the methods of practice.

If that’s the case, could it be that Ge Zhen is practicing thunder magic?
"Brother, you're welcome."

Lei Zhen returned the greeting and said calmly.

"We heard that a Maoshan disciple came to learn thunder magic, so we brothers were curious and came to take a look. On the way, my elder brother said it must be you, senior brother, and it turned out to be true."

"Haha, luckily I didn't disappoint Senior Brother Ge Shan."

Li Kunshan smiled. Unlike other disciples of Gezhao Mountain, the three brothers of the Ge family behaved politely.

Come to think of it, after all, he is a member of the Ge family. Under the influence of his aristocratic family, his tolerance is far beyond that of others.

"Excuse me, Senior Brother Ge Zhen practices thunder magic."

"Senior brother is indeed smart."

Ge Zhen nodded, without hiding anything, and continued speaking.

"But I haven't yet passed the Thunder Valley and completed the body tempering, so I haven't officially started training yet."

"so."

"Don't worry, it's only the last ten meters!"

Ge Shan took over and said with a smile.

"Ge Zhen has rested for nearly a month, he will definitely make it through today!"

"Oh, congratulations in advance."

After hearing this, Li Kunshan finally understood.

It turns out that he is here to support the Gezhao Sect.

The first time Li Kunshan entered Thunder Valley, he only walked a hundred meters. If he was a disciple of Gezhao Mountain, it would be fine, but he was an outsider disciple of Maoshan. Where would Gezhao Mountain put its face?

The real elders of Gezhao Mountain naturally didn't mind, but these juniors were young after all, and young people are always hot-tempered. Of course, they didn't want to be suppressed by one person from Maoshan.

That's why we invited Ge Zhen.

Li Kunshan smiled and said nothing. After all, if he were in their shoes, he would probably do the same.

"I see that my senior brother is about to enter the valley, why don't we go together?"

Although he was seen through, Ge Zhen did not feel embarrassed. His face was calm and he directly invited Li Kunshan.

He came here just to compete with Li Kunshan, so why bother to hide or act pretentiously?

"it is good."

Li Kunshan nodded and said that it was just a discussion between fellow practitioners, as long as it didn't hurt the relationship.

Another thing is that he was indeed preparing to enter the valley.

Then, the four of them took off their clothes and the three Ge brothers applied oil on their bodies.

Although Ge Shan and Ge Yan practiced mountain and fire, there was no rule that they could not practice thunder magic.

As for thunder magic, who doesn’t want to practice it?

So the two of them also completed their meditation and concentration, and had already started to temper their bodies in Thunder Valley, but their progress was average.

"I heard that Senior Brother can withstand lightning without the need for magic oil, and it turns out to be true."

Looking at Li Kunshan who was waiting nearby, Ge Zhen said this with a hint of amazement and admiration in his eyes.

After all, he was well aware of the horror of thunder and lightning in the Thunder Valley.

After a while, the three of them were ready, and Li Kunshan walked towards the entrance with them.

"Ge Zhen and the others are going in! Let's go in too!"

Seeing this, the other disciples of Gezhao Mountain were excited and hurriedly followed behind him.

Immediately afterwards, almost everyone entered Thunder Valley.

Boom~Boom~!

As soon as I stepped in, just like before, deafening thunder filled all directions.

Li Kunshan did not hesitate and walked forward quickly.

The three brothers of the Ge family followed him and did not lag behind at all.

In comparison, other disciples of Gezhao Mountain did not have it so easy.

After just walking twenty meters, some people began to retreat as they could not hold on. When they walked a hundred meters, there were less than ten people left except the three brothers of the Ge family.

"Senior Brother Li is indeed very resourceful."

As he walked, Ge Zhen observed and couldn't help but admire Li Kunshan for releasing lightning into the ground.

I knew that Li Kunshan practiced both Maoshan and Longhushan thunder magic, but I didn't expect that he had reached such a level.

His branch mainly practices thunder magic. Although Ge Zhen has not yet mastered it, his understanding of thunder magic is no less than that of others.

I know that although Li Kunshan seems relaxed, his techniques are actually extremely mysterious.

After all, it is not as simple as removing the mines, but also requires body tempering.

"Haha, not bad."

Li Kunshan said this with a smile, without being overly modest.

Then his expression changed and he continued walking forward.

"Have it!"

When he reached 110 meters, Lei Jue's experience value began to increase again.

Li Kunshan showed a happy expression on his face. He stood still and watched his experience continue to improve.

"Then let's go ahead." Looking at Li Kunshan who had stopped, Ge Zhen and the other two looked at each other, and without asking any more questions, they continued to move forward.

"Humph."

The remaining disciples of Gezhao Mountain snorted and passed by Li Kunshan with a smug look on their faces.

It took so many days for him to improve ten meters. It seems that the Maoshan disciples are just like that.

"No, it's okay."

After a while, the experience growth stopped. Li Kunshan took a look and nodded slightly.

Although it is also limited, the experience gained this time is greater than the ten meters in the first hundred meters.

It seems that the further you go, the stronger the lightning stimulation, the more intense the body's reaction, and the more experience points you gain.

"continue!"

Thinking of this, Li Kunshan's face showed joy and he immediately continued to move forward.

When he reached 120 meters, his experience points began to increase again, and he stopped again, accepting this gift with a smile.

"Stopped again?"

Ge Shan, who had already walked to the front, looked back and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Judging from Li Kunshan's appearance, he is not without spare energy. If that is the case, why doesn't he do it in one go, instead of wasting time by stopping and starting.

"He must have his reasons. We just need to take care of ourselves."

Ge Zhen said this, but his feet did not stop at all, and he continued to move forward at his own pace.

This time he entered the valley not only to compete with Li Kunshan, but also to complete the tempering of his body!

If you have a firm goal in mind, you will naturally not be disturbed by other external things.

"Yes."

Ge Shan and Ge Yan nodded. Although they couldn't reach the end this time, they would at least make some progress compared to last time.

Focus on your goals and don't get distracted by other things.

Compared with the first 100 meters, the lightning power in the middle 100 meters was greater, but Ge Zhen was still able to move forward at a constant speed. Ge Shan and Ge Yan were obviously much slower and gradually fell behind.

As for the other disciples of Gezhao Mountain, they were even slower.

In contrast, although Li Kunshan stopped every ten meters, he did not slow down at all when walking.

In this way, I always stopped and started, and gradually caught up with some people.

"hateful!"

Seeing that they were caught up by Li Kunshan, everyone couldn't help but feel angry.

But the thunder ahead is rolling, and it cannot be overcome just by ambition.

At the same time, some people could not hold on any longer and had to withdraw and return.

"Brother, please continue. I can't do it."

After walking 160 meters, Ge Shan said something to Li Kunshan who had caught up with him, shook his head and retreated.

"it is good."

Li Kunshan nodded, and after his experience points increased, he continued to move forward.

At this time, there were only four people in front of him.

When Li Kunshan walked to 180 meters, the other two disciples of Gezhao Mountain also withdrew one after another, leaving only Ge Zhen and Ge Yan in front.

"I can only run with you up to this point."

At the 210th meter, Ge Yan stopped and retreated.

Li Kunshan stopped, took a deep breath, his face full of excitement.

Compared to the middle 100 meters, the experience points increase even more in the last 100 meters!
At this time, the experience value of Thunder Art has reached more than 15,000 points, which means that it has increased by more than 5,000 points in the middle 100 meters!
"continue."

When the experience points stopped growing, Li Kunshan took a deep breath and continued to move forward.

These last hundred meters can gain at least 7,000 to 8,000 experience points, or even more than 10,000!

But at the same time, the power of thunder and lightning is getting stronger and stronger.

Even Li Kunshan gradually felt the pressure.

For a moment, I had to concentrate and deal with it with all my strength.

At 260 meters, Li Kunshan caught up with Ge Zhen for the first time.

The two did not speak. The thunder and lightning at this time were extremely violent, even worse than thunder from the sky!

No matter whether it was Ge Zhen, who specialized in thunder magic, or Li Kunshan, who practiced both the two mountain thunder magics, they had to deal with it with all their strength.

Li Kunshan wanted to stop to gain experience points, but Ge Zhen continued to move forward.

Ge Zhen walked slower and slower, and every step seemed extremely heavy. Li Kunshan was relatively relaxed, but he walked and stopped intermittently.

There were thirty meters left, and the two took turns moving forward.

Finally, they stopped at 290 meters at the same time.

"No need to be so exaggerated."

Looking at the lightning in front of him that was so dense that it seemed real, Li Kunshan couldn't help but frown.

So this is really about tempering the body, not torturing someone to death?
In comparison, Ge Zhen next to him had a more serious expression.

The farthest distance he had ever walked before was here, but only by walking these last ten meters could he completely complete the tempering of his body.

"on!"

"Fight!"

Almost at the same time, the two of them stepped forward.

Boom~Boom~!

In an instant, the thunder became louder, and Li Kunshan had an illusion as if he had fallen into a thunder pool.

This isn't lightning body tempering; it's basically bathing in lightning!
At the same time, the experience value of Lei Jue was also skyrocketing.

However, Li Kunshan no longer cared about these things at this time. He moved forward step by step and had to get there as soon as possible.

Otherwise, even he might be blown into pieces.

At this time, Li Kunshan didn't even have the energy to calculate how far ahead he was or how many meters were left.

On the other side, Ge Zhen was also under great pressure, his steps became heavier, and gradually, he found it difficult to put his raised foot down.

Pa~!

At this moment, a big hand suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him forward.

Ge Zhen tried his best to resist the lightning, his mind was blank, and he subconsciously followed the traction forward.

Boom~!

I don’t know how long it took, but after another roar, all the thunder suddenly disappeared.

"..."

After stopping, Li Kunshan's mind was still in a daze and his ears were buzzing.

[Obtained the new entry Thunder Tribulation Body (Orange)! ]

At this moment, a system prompt suddenly sounded.

"This is……"

The tinnitus gradually stopped, Li Kunshan came to his senses and couldn't help blinking.

How to get another entry?
"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

At this moment, Ge Zhen's voice came from the side.

Only then did Li Kunshan realize that he was still holding Ge Zhen's wrist.

Ge Zhen bowed deeply to Li Kunshan, his face full of gratitude.

"If you hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have been able to make it."

"Ah? Oh, it's just a small favor, don't worry about it, fellow Daoist."

Li Kunshan looked serious, but he was smiling in his heart.

He was also stunned by the thunder just now, and had no subjective consciousness at all. He was just like a drowning person looking for a handrail, and he happened to grab Ge Zhen by chance.

Unexpectedly, he brought Ge Zhen along by accident, and earned a favor for nothing.

"Brother, let's go over there."

Ge Zhen took a deep breath and looked ahead.

I saw an ancient stone door on the mountain wall at the bottom of the valley.

"it is good."

Li Kunshan nodded and walked over with Ge Zhen.

The stone door was heavy, and the two men pushed it open with force, revealing another long corridor.

The two looked at each other and stepped inside.
