Chapter 442: Chapter 283 Thunder, Help Me! _2

The loess layers here, eroded and deposited over millions of years, formed deep cracks and ravines, akin to the wrinkles of the earth, recording the vicissitudes of time.

The sky appeared exceptionally vast.

Occasional dark clouds drifting by hinted at the impending rain.

The rainfall distribution in Xi’an and the nearby Loess Plateau was uneven.

The summer season was the major rainy season, especially in July and August when rainfall was more concentrated, but due to the special geological structure, water was hardly absorbed and retained by the soil, often causing brief and intense downpours, which then triggered flash floods and mudslides.

It was early summer at this time.

The weather in May was unpredictable, with clear skies and dark clouds alternating.

Clearly,

it was about to rain here soon.

Chen Yun looked up at the gradually gathering dark clouds, secretly calculating how to use this natural force.

He chose a relatively open area as a temporary base.

Of course, to call it a base wasn’t quite right.

More precisely, it was where he was preparing to be struck by lightning.

The area was surrounded by deep ravines, as if nature itself had set up natural barriers.

It provided defensive advantages and effectively concealed activities within.

The ravines were flanked with dense shrubs and uneven trees, and occasionally, one could see wild vines stretching from one end to the other, like natural bridges woven by nature.

Despite this,

the central area was a rare flat terrain, covered with short and tough turf, very suitable for observing surroundings and carrying out various actions.

This place was close to the Loess Plateau,

but it wasn’t barren with only loess because it wasn’t truly on the Loess Plateau yet, still located at the edge of the small plain between Qinling and the Loess Plateau, which is part of Xi’an.

So, there were still some plants here.

Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, casting mottled shadows on this open ground, making the entire area appear both mysterious and vibrant.

Here, whether setting up camp, training, or carrying out a surveillance task was extremely suitable.

But for Chen Yun,

the place was not important; he had chosen it casually.

After choosing, he placed his backpack and silly dog Bai Jin far away to prevent them from being affected by the upcoming experiments.

Then, he returned here and sat cross-legged,

waiting for the dark clouds to gather in the sky.

He could indeed directly summon thunder, but that would emit from his body; the ability to summon thunder from the sky was through using his own Thunder Ability to control Thunder with Thunder.

And the ability to control Thunder with Thunder required the presence of many dark clouds in the sky; it could not directly summon thunder from a clear sky.

He wanted to be struck by Heavenly Thunder.

He had to wait for dark clouds to gather for a while longer.

Luckily, the wait wasn’t long.

There were already dark clouds gathering in the sky.

If it had been clear skies, he wouldn’t have started to look for a place to experiment with his Heavenly Thunder Refining Body ideas,

but would have continued traveling instead.

Contemplating,

soon the city was shrouded by dark clouds.

Thick dark clouds, seemingly aware of Chen Yun’s experimental intentions, soon gathered into a mass that looked exceedingly dense.

It looked like it was fully charged.

If certain provincial meteorological bureaus saw these high-quality clouds, they would likely not hesitate to set up anti-aircraft cannons for artificial rain, trying to intercept all of it.

Chen Yun closed his eyes and took a deep breath,

trying to sense the electric charge accumulating in the air.

As his heart calmed,

the air around him seemed to solidify as well, breeding an invisible force amidst the tranquility.

For him, who had tried using Thunder to control Thunder many times, the next operation was not difficult.

He slowly stretched out his palm.

The Thunder Ability inside him began to emerge and rhythmically pulsed,

as if sending a certain signal to the sky.

Soon, dark clouds began to gather.

Sounds of thunder and flashes of lightning began to echo.

Chen Yun felt not a trace of fear, but rather an unprecedented excitement.

The last time he attempted to guide the lightning to strike himself,

it was all diverted by the lightning rod of the villa.

Although there was no lightning rod now,

he was not afraid at all.

He began guiding these natural forces, trying to make them act according to his will.

In an instant,

a bolt of lightning, like the sword of a celestial god, slashed across the sky, striking down towards the position where Chen Yun stood.

This bolt of lightning was not only dazzling but also had a massive momentum, as if even the heavens and earth were intimidated by that instant of intense light and deafening thunder.

The air was filled with a scorched scent.

In the blink of an eye, everything around was illuminated by this sudden burst of light, making even the finest dust clearly visible.

Chen Yun stood there, unmovable.

He didn’t avoid it but instead spread his arms to embrace this natural force.

The surrounding area was full of unpredictable dangers, the afterglow of the lightning still flared before his eyes, and the sound of thunder continued to roar in his ears.

That moment seemed to freeze into eternity.

The lightning struck his body, but rather than harming him, it only charred his clothes.

The lightning seemed to be absorbed by him, making him close his eyes and savor it for a long time.

Feeling that the pain was negligible, merely slightly itchy and stinging.

Without hesitation, Chen Yun activated the [Body Refining Technique·Self-Research Version].

Quickly, a process that should have continued for a few minutes,

seemed compressed at this moment.

The lightning that struck Chen Yun was consumed rapidly as if it were food in his body.

Mulling over it,

Chen Yun looked up at the sky, unhesitatingly beginning to harness the thunder again.

After a brief calm, the clouds began a wild release.

Countless bolts of lightning struck down at him, as if the entire sky was pouring down at that moment, attempting to swallow the earth.

The lightning wove into a vast net, each bolt so bright, so intense, that it cast the whole world under its light.

The distance between the sky and the ground seemed to be bridged by these bolts in an instant.

The sound of thunder was deafening, continuous, like a prelude to the apocalypse.

Chen Yun stood there, seemingly having become the center of the storm.

Each bolt of lightning that struck him seemed to be testing his will and determination.

But no matter how fierce the lightning, it couldn’t make him waver at all.

His figure, set against the sparkling lightning, appeared exceptionally firm, as if he were the only stable source amidst the chaos.

In this terrifying spectacle of thunder and lightning, Chen Yun’s figure stood out even more.

Each strike of lightning seemed to enhance his presence, merging him with this wild power.

The surrounding air became tense due to the surge in electric charge, each stroke of thunder accompanied by a strong shockwave, distorting everything around.

The thunderstorm persisted for a while.

Until the last bolt of lightning fell, the sky gradually returned to calm.

As the clouds dispersed.

All that remained was an unscathed Chen Yun and a ravaged landscape.

Deep pits and cracks black in color, permeated by the smell of burning in the air.

All spoke of the terror that had just transpired.

But for Chen Yun...

It seemed to be lacking a bit?

Chen Yun looked somewhat quizzically at the dispersing clouds that had exhausted their energy, feeling like he’d bought a fake on Pinduoduo.

A thunderstorm...

That’s it?

Is that all?!?!

It was rather... bland.

Disregarding the power, it couldn’t even harm a single hair on him.

And the training effect was mediocre.

The apocalyptic downpour of heavenly thunder that had just occurred,

the body refining effect it brought was even less than what he’d get from performing his normal Body Refining Technique for an entire day.

It probably only added around ten or so tons of strength.

When the first lightning bolt struck, he thought no effect was an illusion.

But after withstanding dozens to hundreds of bolts,

he understood that this was the reality.

The effect of Heavenly Thunder Refining Body was just that, far inferior to his [Body Refining Technique·Self-Research Version].

His Thunder Refining Body part of the [Body Refining Technique·Self-Research Version] used his own Thunder Ability, capable of generating electricity continuously as long as he had the physical strength.

And for Chen Yun, who had made body refining a regular practice, the effect of training with his Thunder Ability all day wasn’t significant, but from a quantitative perspective, it still surpassed the natural Heavenly Thunder Refining Body.

Unless he later found a place where dark clouds perpetually hovered and rapidly recongregated after being absorbed by Chen Yun,

there was little point in pursuing Heavenly Thunder Refining Body.
