Chapter 316: Chapter 200: A Fingertip Touch on Thunder!

Turning the hand into clouds!

As Jiang Shu raised his hand, an entire thunderstorm cloud rose out of nowhere, covering nearly half the space above the performance hall.

Between the layers of clouds, flashes of lightning could be glimpsed, enveloping the entire hall with an atmosphere of an impending storm.

"This..."

The audience below stared at the spectacle above them, involuntarily feeling a sense of awe.

"Is it a holographic projection at the top?"

"A holographic projection device?"

"Maybe."

After a moment of amazement, the audience quickly came to their senses. With rational judgment, they unanimously believed that the scene above them must be a special holographic projection device.

Surely Jiang Shu couldn’t actually control thunder and lightning, could he?

Just kidding, just kidding.

"What is now appearing above your heads is a large thunderstorm cloud," Jiang Shu continued, gazing at the thunderstorm cloud above the audience and then smiling slightly, "The lower part of the cloud carries a massive amount of negative charge, while the top of the cloud carries a massive amount of positive charge."

He extended his hand, and the thunderstorm clouds parted as if by magic.

With the movement of Jiang Shu’s hands, large swaths of the thunderstorm cloud split apart, gathering around the perimeter of the performance hall, leaving only a dark raincloud in the center.

"At this moment, all that’s needed is to let the positive charge at the top of the raincloud collide with the negative charge at the bottom..." Jiang Shu licked his lips.

Then he extended his hand, his palm facing the central thunderstorm cloud.

He gently squeezed his palm, forming a virtual fist, and the thunderstorm cloud shrank in response to his movement, even showing the indentations of fingers as if it were truly grasped by an invisible gigantic hand.

In the cloud, a thick current of electricity surged through abruptly.

"Boom—" The sound of thunder exploded in the ears of every spectator, who watched the raincloud with a feeling of awe mysteriously mixed with reverence.

As if staring directly into the might of nature.

"Boom—This is how thunder and lightning are produced, this is called intracloud lightning," explained Jiang Shu, maintaining his grip on the central thunderstorm cloud while grabbing another cloud from the surrounding clusters with his other hand.

"Similarly, the top of this thunderstorm cloud holds a positive charge and the bottom a negative charge. All that needs to be done is to let them gently collide..." He licked his lips again, and the two clouds slowly approached each other under the guidance of his hands.

Eventually, the thunderstorm cloud from below collided with the other.

As Jiang Shu had described, when they collided, a resounding boom echoed between the clouds, and purple-white mixed lightning flashed, displaying a branched pattern before rapidly spreading.

"Kind of cool."

"Indeed."

Jiang Shu onstage, turning his hand to control the rainclouds and manipulating the lightning, really looked quite

"This is intracloud lightning," Jiang Shu continued explaining, his gaze directed toward the audience, "Then, just like the top layer of the cloud, there are similar positive charges at the tips on the ground, so..."

He swiftly waved his hand and a bolt of lightning quickly descended from a raincloud, striking straight toward a wall lamp on the hall’s wall.

"Pin—Bang—"

The lightning connected with the wall lamp, causing a bright flash of white light before the lamp shattered, emitting black smoke as well.

The extent of the shattering was minor, akin to a small firecracker going off; thus, the fragments of the lamp didn’t scatter but fell straight down, landing within the outer glass cover.

Nevertheless, even so, the spectators sitting in the outermost rows were startled by this sudden change, shifting away from the side closest to the wall lamp without thinking.

"It really exploded."

"Scary."

"This is real."

The group of spectators near the wall lamp began to murmur quietly amongst themselves.

"Nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about," Jiang Shu made a calming gesture with his hand, reassuring everyone, "At least up to now, our magic has been completely safe; there’s no need to panic."

With Jiang Shu’s words, discussions within the performance hall grew louder, voices of confusion emanating from the audience.

"Up to now?"

"Does it mean there will be danger later?"

"Hmm???"

"For safety, should we leave now?"

For a moment, the whispers of the audience even surpassed the deep rumbling of thunder from within the thunderstorm clouds.

But until now, the audience’s opinion of this magic act was still very rational and objective.

Although Jiang Shu did a great job with details, such as the realism of the thunderclouds, the immediacy of his interaction with the thunderclouds, and the thunder seemingly coming from deep within the thunderclouds, where each thunderclap appeared after the clouds collided...

These details were executed perfectly.

However, this did not dispel the rational and objective judgment of the audience.

Probably...

The main part of the act was a holographic projection.

Somewhere out of sight, hidden within the ceiling, lay the concealed speakers.

As for the lightning that struck the wall lamp, it was likely some kind of light and shadow effect.

And the breaking of the wall lamp was probably caused by a small amount of gunpowder being ignited beforehand, emulating the effects of lightning striking.

After all, it was electricity, the same thing they use every day in their lives.
