"I did it, I did it!"
Lin Beichen laughed loudly, his laughter filled with emotional release, feeling extremely refreshing!
He could clearly see the tiny arcs of electricity in his palm.
These arcs were densely distributed in his palm.
Each arc had a different shape, some long, some short, some thick, some thin, constantly jumping and dazzling like a painting!
However, only he, the creator, could see them clearly, because his "view" included a part of his body's sensation, combined together to see it.
But these arcs were too weak, almost like static electricity, an ordinary person couldn't see them with the naked eye, only a high-magnification camera could catch them effectively.
"It's just a pity there's no power."
Lin Beichen could sense that the electricity in those tiny arcs in his palm wasn't much different from static electricity.
They could provide a sensation, like the static electricity felt in everyday life, but they couldn't harm anyone.
Of course, he wasn't ungrateful.
For now,
This electricity...
Having it is enough!
After all, this was a crucial first step!
This represented that the Thunder Skill could become real!
"Since I can create electricity in my palm through my own body, it means my direction of understanding is correct, everything comes from visualization!"
"Although there are only some tiny arcs now, and there is still a huge gap from the Cultivation Method I want to create, a good start is half the battle. As long as I persist, I believe it will eventually become what I imagine!"
Lin Beichen felt great anticipation in his heart, he couldn't help but reach out with his other hand to touch the arcs in his palm.
"Hm?"
Lin Beichen found that there was no electric sensation.
He had been too excited just now and didn't notice that not only did the hand touching his palm not feel electric, but even the palm filled with arcs felt nothing, as if the electricity in his hand was fake.
"Why is this?"
"Or is it supposed to be like this?"
"Yes, this must be it!"
"The electricity in the palm is the result of visualized Illusion Becomes Reality, born from the body, it is a part of the body. When latent in the body, the body doesn't feel anything, so it must also be Illusion Becomes Reality."
At this moment, in Lin Beichen's mind flashed a scene of himself controlling thunder, not just tiny arcs, he felt fortunate thinking that if he could feel it each time he discharged, wouldn't he burn himself up first?
As he was absorbed in the study of the arcs in his palm,
The others in the pavilion started discussing in confusion.
"Did it? What did he do? What does it mean?"
"This child really doesn't look right!"
"Indeed, frankly speaking, he looks like he has some mental problem, don't you think?"
"Will something happen if this continues? Will we have some responsibility to bear?"
"..."
Lin Beichen, lost in enlightenment and manipulating the yin and yang energies within his body to create arcs, "busy" as he seemed, spent only a couple of minutes in their perception.
Seeing him turn from a bright, polite young man to seemingly mad in such a short time, they felt chills down their spines.
Many among them worried something might happen to Lin Beichen and raised their voices to remind him loudly.
"Child, what's wrong? Come over here first!"
"Young man, it's too dangerous over there!"
"..."
Lin Beichen heard them but had no intention to respond.
Not out of rudeness, but out of time!
Just now, he felt the arcs in his palm becoming unstable and starting to disappear, he had finally managed to generate electricity in his palm and was intensely studying it, he couldn't allow the electricity to just vanish!
"Try the same method again!"
Although the "bloated" feeling in his stomach was gone, Lin Beichen remembered where it had been, he continued to visualize in the same manner.
Indeed!
In that imagined Illusion Becomes Reality, he felt two streams of energy appear again!
Without more thought, he quickly directed the energies along the previous meridian pathways towards his palm.
But this time it wasn't as smooth as the first time...
Halfway through.
Suddenly!
They became violent!
Before Lin Beichen could react...
In the next moment, they completely vanished without a trace!
"This..."
Lin Beichen was bewildered, and the arcs in his palm disappeared entirely due to the lack of further reinforcement.
"What is the reason?"
"..."
As he pondered the reason behind this.
Suddenly!
A peculiar feeling surged in his heart, a feeling of oppression, intimidation, a heart-wrenching tremor!
Lin Beichen's heart pounded wildly, as if a thousand eyes were staring at him.
"What's going on?"
"What is this feeling??"
"What happened??"
As he tried to figure it out.
"Boom...!"
A series of low, heavy rumbling thunder echoed continually in the sky, like roars filled with anger and authority!
In an instant, everyone looked up at the sky.
In their gaze.
The thick clouds above the mountain summit flickered with arcs of light, in a flash, the wind rose and clouds surged, even the clouds thinned considerably.
A bolt of lightning!
Purple with hints of crimson.
Like a sharp sword piercing through the clouds, with unstoppable force, it split the darkness and struck down!
"This..."
Everyone couldn't react, but they all inexplicably felt that the lightning seemed to be striking towards Lin Beichen!
Even Lin Beichen himself thought so!
"Crack——!!!!!!"
By the time they reacted.
The crackling roar of lightning exploded in their ears!
In their sight, the lightning struck a tree about ten meters behind Lin Beichen, the only tree on the mountain summit, an ancient tree that had weathered a hundred years!
As the ground cracked and debris flew...
The ancient tree ignited with raging flames!
Flames soared into the sky!
In the pavilion, everyone panicked and exploded in fear.
"A lightning bolt struck right in front of me!"
"It was so scary, I thought it was going to hit that child, luckily it went awry!"
"If nothing happened, it's good, I just felt that lightning was aiming straight for that kid!"
"No, the mountain top is too unsafe, this time it hit a tree, who knows if there will be another time, and if it will hurt someone, I'm heading down the mountain!"
"My legs are shaking, I've only seen this on the news, didn't expect to witness it myself one day!"
"I'm going down too, anyone coming with me?"
"Go, go, go, let's go together!"
"Wait for me, let me post a moment, I was recording video, caught the scene just now!"
"I was recording video too, seems like I got it, I'll post on Douyin, gotta record this awesome moment, so damn awesome!"
"..."
With quick consensus!
Seeing a sign of clearing up after the lightning strike, they left the pavilion and walked down together.
Among them were many kind souls, even though they were scared, they didn't forget about Lin Beichen.
"Child, do you want to come with us?"
"Young man, let's go, it's too dangerous here, let's go down together!"
"..."
But their words fell into silence, getting no response from Lin Beichen.
They couldn't forcefully drag Lin Beichen along, risking being mistaken for human traffickers on the way!
After everyone in the pavilion had left.
Lin Beichen remained sitting on the stone, his gaze fixed on the ancient tree struck by lightning, now burning fiercely.
He wasn't scared, but enlightened by something.
Entranced!
After the lightning strike...
He noticed the strange feeling he had just sensed receded like a tide, as if it had never been there.
"That sudden feeling earlier..."
"Does it have a direct relation to the lightning strike?"
"But why didn't I have that feeling with previous lightning flashes?"
"Or..."
"Is this my body's early warning for lightning-related danger?"
"Also... why did I feel that the lightning was aimed directly at me, as if locked onto?"
"Was it an illusion?"
"Or a coincidence?"
"..."
Lin Beichen's thoughts rambled, his mind racing, pondering over more and more things.
Just then.
A familiar voice came from down below.
"Good boy, you didn't even take an umbrella when you went out, look how soaked you are, wait to get scolded by your mom when we get home, I'm not covering for you!"
He turned his head.
Lin Xiangdong quickly walked up the stone steps to the open mountain top, holding two umbrellas, both unopened, his body soaked, looking no better than Lin Beichen.
In his sight, there was no pavilion, not even the conspicuous burning ancient tree, only Lin Beichen!
With a look of relief on his face.
