Chapter 433: Chapter 279: Controlling Thunder with Thunder!_2

He didn’t know if it was feasible to do so, but he trusted his intuition.

It was an intuition that seemed to transcend common sense.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before.

Chen Yun felt a powerful current that seemed to respond to his call.

It shot down from the clouds in a flash.

Chen Yun’s heartbeat accelerated, almost synchronizing with the speed of the current.

He saw a dazzling light tear a silver-white crack in the night sky.

It was a thick bolt of lightning, carrying enough power to obliterate everything, heading straight for his location.

The air was filled with the crackle of static electricity, as if even time had frozen at that moment.

The lightning struck the villa where he was staying.

But he was not afraid.

First, because there was no fear.

Second, because fear was useless, the lightning moved at the speed of light, striking down the moment it was seen.

The thunderous roar echoed in his ears.

Fortunately, there was a lightning rod on top of the villa.

The lightning rod did its job, quickly channeling the vast current underground, dissipating the energy of the lightning and preventing direct damage to the building’s structure.

However, the residents of the villa area were awakened by the sudden loud noise.

They rushed to their windows, wanting to find out what had happened.

Then their eyes widened as they looked at the lightning that seemed to tear the earth asunder.

Their hearts were filled with shock and relief.

The light of the lightning illuminated half the night sky, and the ensuing deafening thunderclaps made people want to cover their ears.

Innumerable exclamations of "holy shit."

All because of this unexpected thunderclap.

They would never guess that behind all this was the will of one person quietly at work.

...

And Chen Yun, who had done all this, widened his eyes.

Surprised by his own action.

He had actually influenced the path of natural lightning!

To be precise, it wasn’t guiding the path,

But rather directing and pinpointing the lightning to strike at a given target.

Although he couldn’t fully control it yet, this was far beyond his expectations.

Watching the storm outside, his heart was filled with anticipation and curiosity.

Savoring the feeling from just moments ago,

He couldn’t help but extend his hand again, letting the power of the thunder burst forth in his palm, allowing its terrifying intensity to build up there.

Immediately after,

The familiar sensation returned.

The energy stored in the clouds was once again released with a boom.

Then came the familiar flash and loud bang,

As well as the familiar multitude of "holy shits."

Compared to the other surprised residents nearby,

A touch of certainty flashed through Chen Yun’s heart.

Now he could almost be sure that it wasn’t the lightning rod itself that was attracting the lightning.

Lightning rods can indeed attract lightning,

But all the buildings nearby had lightning rods, so why strike only his and not the others?

Furthermore, every time Chen Yun used his Thunder Ability, the villa he was in would be hit by lightning.

So Chen Yun could be sure,

It was he himself who had summoned the Heavenly Thunder!

To be exact, his Thunder Ability had summoned the natural Heavenly Thunder.

The attraction he felt with the thunder in the clouds was precisely where it stemmed from!

He could "Control Thunder with Thunder"!

With this in mind, Chen Yun then began to periodically attempt to understand the characteristics of this ability.

But this proved to be a trial for the nearby residents.

It was as if they were living in a storm zone.

In the middle of the night, thunderstorms would occur from time to time around them.

Not to mention the fear and stress,

Even basic sleep was slightly harder to come by.

Considering this problem,

Chen Yun decided that once his experiments were over, he would arrange some compensation for them.

Fortunately, their "contributions" were useful.

After about eight lightning strikes, Chen Yun had already determined the basic characteristics of this ability.

Although the people in the community had become somewhat numb from shock, this was indeed the fastest pace for Chen Yun.

As for the characteristics, it was that as long as he used a certain intensity of Thunder Ability at a particular spot during a thunderstorm, it would attract the thunder from the heavens.

He was unclear about the specific underlying principles.

Perhaps it was because the surge of current had changed the distribution of electric charges, increasing the local potential difference and electric field strength, attracting thunder and lightning to discharge.

Or maybe it was because the surging current provided a conductive path and enhanced the local electric field, thus increasing the likelihood of being struck by thunder and lightning.

Of course, it could also be something less scientific and more fantastical in nature.

For instance, the principle that "Controlling Thunder with Thunder," where abilities of the same element attract each other.

In any case, after Chen Yun experimented for a moment, he couldn’t figure out the principle of this ability, the specifics of which he couldn’t articulate at present.

However, regarding the specific usage of this power, after conducting a few simple tests, he had come to thoroughly understand it.

It would be more appropriate to say it was precision bombing rather than "Controlling Thunder with Thunder."

The thunder and lightning in the sky were attracted by his Thunder and Lightning Ability, resulting in precision strikes.

In this, his Thunder Ability primarily played a role in targeting.

Chen Yun had tried deploying Thunder at various locations within a seven-hundred-meter radius, and sure enough, the thunder from the sky struck those areas.

This was undoubtedly a case of striking wherever he pointed!

This surprised Chen Yun with its unexpected effectiveness.

If it were a thunderstorm during a fight, Chen Yun could even achieve a fire-support style of thunder bombing, instantly unleashing all the energy from the clouds and furrowing the ground in no time!

Moreover, this ability was not like that of a certain superhero movie’s Fire Man.

Who could only control fire, not create it.

Chen Yun could actually control electricity and create it as well.

Thinking along these lines,

considering the emotional tolerance of the surrounding people, who would probably not be able to handle another dozen or so bolts of lightning striking down,

and since he had almost completed his experiment,

as well as the fact that the energy stored in the cloud layer in the sky had been nearly depleted,

Chen Yun did not continue to manipulate thunder and strike.

Instead, he busied himself with his tasks in the cover of night.

...

As the saying goes, "Two flowers bloom, each on its own branch."

Fast-forwarding to the morning of May 10th,

Qing Yuan, awakened from a dream, stared at the bamboo flying sword that had appeared in his backpack,

unable to snap back to reality for a long time.

He didn’t yet know why he had entered such a dream game, but from what he could tell, it seemed inseparably linked to the bamboo flying sword, which meant it was undoubtedly related to that man who claimed to be a Demi Immortal.

Qing Yuan desperately wanted to find that person.

But before that,

he silently recited "Heart Like Ice" a few times to calm his emotions.

Then,

he decisively closed his eyes and relaxed his mind.

Before long, he was asleep again.

He wanted to verify whether that dream game was a fluke,

or perhaps...

And after he closed his eyes,

inside the tightly held bamboo flying sword in his hand, a special fluctuation began to flicker faintly.

Qing Yuan was unaware.

But in his dream, he once again confronted the introductory animation of Chaos Demon Star and was once again astonished by the impactful imagery.

This time,

he tried to explore downward toward the mountains.

However...

He still did not reach the buildings nestled among the distant peaks.

He hadn’t gone far when he was viciously devoured by a three-eyed tiger en route.

Then, he awoke in a cold sweat.

Listening to the still unceasing sound of the rain around him and looking at the bamboo flying sword in his hand,

a glint flashed in Qing Yuan’s eyes.

Remembering the dream that was still vivid,

he knew it was all real!

And if it was all real, then it also meant...

Pondering,

a glint flashed in Qing Yuan’s eyes.

Stroking the exquisitely carved bamboo flying sword in his hand, at that moment he had an idea: to try and find the Demi Immortal!

Although the idea was bold,

faced with a phenomenon that modern science could not explain and that was very likely supernatural,

he found himself irresistibly curious.

He found it difficult not to try to explore it further.

Although he knew that contacting such a potentially supernatural person could be fraught with uncertainty and likely dangerous,

still, he wanted to go!

Thinking,

a glint flickered in Qing Yuan’s eyes.
