Chapter Thirty: Refining the Mystic Thunder

Liu Qianru saw Xu Feng's gaze fall on her plump and firm chest, and a flush spread across her face.

Seeing Liu Qianru's reaction, Xu Feng didn't wait for her to respond. He reached out and tore her clothes with a swift motion. The sound of the fabric tearing made Xu Feng's heart tremble. He muttered under his breath, "Damn! I never tore a woman's clothes in my past life, but in this life, I've taken the lead."

"Bastard!" Liu Qianru hadn't expected Xu Feng to act so quickly, leaving her no time to react. She couldn't help but curse, even suspecting that Xu Feng had been waiting for her to get hurt so he could tear her clothes. However, seeing that Xu Feng had already acted, she didn't say anything more. A blush spread across her face, and her eyes, which shimmered with emotion, were closed, with her long lashes trembling, indicating her inner turmoil.

"I have a wound ointment in my left pocket," Liu Qianru tried to keep her voice normal.

Xu Feng took the ointment from Liu Qianru's left pocket, but his eyes were immediately drawn to her chest. With her clothes torn, Liu Qianru's fair skin was exposed. The top of her blouse was open, revealing half of her snow-white chest, which still stood firm despite her lying down. Seeing her well-developed chest, Xu Feng couldn't help but be drawn to it.

Seeing that Xu Feng hadn't moved to treat her, Liu Qianru opened her eyes and reminded him, "You..."

But before she could finish, she saw Xu Feng's eyes fixed on a certain spot, which made her extremely angry. Her whole body flushed with a captivating red, and she said with a hint of anger, "How long are you going to stare?"

"Ah! I'm just checking for any wounds," Xu Feng explained seriously, his earnest look making Liu Qianru scoff. She had a deeper understanding of this man's ability to lie without blinking.

Seeing that Liu Qianru had noticed, Xu Feng naturally couldn't continue looking. Seeing a significant wound near her chest, he quickly wiped it with a piece of cloth and applied the ointment. After doing this, he tore a strip from the bottom of her blouse to bandage the wound.

Seeing her clothes torn again, Liu Qianru couldn't help but curse softly, thinking that this man must have a special interest in tearing women's clothes, otherwise, how could he be so skilled at it.

After helping Liu Qianru clean her wound, Xu Feng covered her proud snow-white chest with her blouse. However, as he did so, his hand inadvertently brushed against her chest, a sensation that could stir anyone's heart.

"Does it feel good to touch?" Liu Qianru felt like she was going to lose her mind; this man seemed too bold.

"What feels good?" Xu Feng asked, looking at Liu Qianru with confusion.

"Hmph!" Liu Qianru naturally wouldn't point it out, just huffed and turned her head, though the blush on her face didn't fade.

"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone where you're injured. After all, I still want to get married in the future. If I tell anyone, they might think I've seen you there, and then I won't be innocent anymore," Xu Feng reassured Liu Qianru.

Liu Qianru scoffed, thinking, "What do you mean 'think I've seen'? You clearly have seen it, haven't you?!" And, "What innocence? Is your innocence more important than a woman's? To take advantage and still be so shameless, I should just ignore this man." Compared to his shamelessness, his other qualities didn't matter much.

After helping Liu Qianru with her wound, Xu Feng began to examine the cave. As he walked deeper into the cave, Liu Qianru, seeing him gradually move away, couldn't help but call out, "Xu Feng!"

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Xu Feng looked at Liu Qianru with confusion, not expecting this woman to still care.

Liu Qianru looked at Xu Feng, opened her mouth, bit her red lip, and whispered, "Don't go too far."

"Ah!" Xu Feng looked at Liu Qianru in surprise, "Why?"

Liu Qianru's face was slightly flushed, and she glared at Xu Feng, "Why do you have to ask so many questions? If I tell you not to go far, just don't go far."

Xu Feng looked at Liu Qianru and suddenly laughed, "Are you afraid?"

"Who... who is afraid? I'm not afraid of being alone, I'm not afraid of the dark," Liu Qianru said stubbornly, her neck turning red.

"Good! Good! You're not afraid!" Xu Feng laughed, "But next time you lie, can you not close your eyes? They say that lying without closing your eyes is a higher level, and you're far from that."

"Bastard!" Liu Qianru was furious, not expecting Xu Feng to still expose her. In her anger, she picked up a stone and threw it at Xu Feng, but the effort made her wound bleed again.

Seeing this, Xu Feng quickly stepped forward to support Liu Qianru and said helplessly, "Lady, can you stop causing trouble? You don't have much cloth left, and if you tear more to treat your wound, don't blame me when you expose yourself. Although I'm just a young man, a young man's resistance is very low, and I might create a bigger wound for you."

"Phew!" Liu Qianru blushed and spat, but fearing being alone in this strange space, she ignored the gender difference and reached out to grab Xu Feng.

Xu Feng, not expecting this seemingly bold Liu Qianru to show such a side, smiled slightly and didn't resist her grip, "I'll look for some old vines or something in this cave. We can't stay in the cave forever."

Liu Qianru nodded but suddenly said to Xu Feng, "Xu Feng, have you noticed the thunder sound in this cave?"

"Thunder?" Xu Feng looked at Liu Qianru in surprise and focused his attention. After a moment, he and Liu Qianru exclaimed in unison, "Mystic Thunder?"

Xu Feng's heart was filled with a surge of excitement. Only a Mystic Thunder, which surpasses all other mystic objects, could produce a thunder sound in such a space.

Mystic Thunder, surpassing all other mystic objects. Fire objects, water objects, and others, though powerful, were not on the same level as thunder. Thunder was the force of heavenly punishment, inherently superior and above all things.

The faint thunder sound in his ears made Xu Feng's breathing quicken. Mystic Thunder had a value and effect far surpassing fire objects and others.

"Let's go see!" Xu Feng tried to calm his emotions and said to Liu Qianru, his voice trembling. Clearly, the allure of Mystic Thunder made it impossible for him to remain calm.

Liu Qianru nodded vigorously. Mystic Thunder, a precious object that could make people fight to the death, was something no one would want to miss.

Xu Feng picked up Liu Qianru, who, though tall, was not heavy. As he held her, the soft elasticity of her body made his heart flutter.

Though Liu Qianru was shy, she preferred to stay with Xu Feng in this unfamiliar place rather than be alone.

Following the sound, they passed through several connected cave chambers, and the thunder sound grew louder. Xu Feng walked quickly and soon reached a space that was much brighter than the other chambers. He focused his gaze and saw lightning flashing, illuminating the entire chamber.

In the center of the chamber, a green cactus-like Mystic Thunder rested. The lightning in the chamber was emitted by the Mystic Thunder.

"Green Rock Mystic Thunder!" Liu Qianru's breathing also became heavy. She hadn't expected this cave, connected to a cliff, to contain three types of mystic objects, one of which was the most precious and powerful Mystic Thunder.

Liu Qianru took a deep breath and said to Xu Feng, whose eyes were shining, "Remember this location, and come back for it in the future."

"In the future?" Xu Feng was surprised and asked, "Why not now?"

Liu Qianru, hearing Xu Feng's words, couldn't help but glare at him, "Even if I weren't seriously injured, I wouldn't dare to provoke Mystic Thunder. You're not even at the fifth rank, so provoking Mystic Thunder would be suicide."

Hearing Liu Qianru's words, Xu Feng frowned. He knew she was right, but his current situation couldn't wait. The fifteen days had passed in a blink, and he had almost reached the fifth rank but failed due to Liu Qianru.

Looking at the Mystic Thunder in front of him, Xu Feng steeled his resolve. No matter what, he had to reach the fifth rank. He was certain that if he could refine and absorb the Mystic Thunder, his strength would skyrocket, and reaching the sixth rank would not be a problem, as it was a heavenly mystic treasure.

Xu Feng placed Liu Qianru in a safe spot and said to her, "Wait here. I'll try."

As Liu Qianru watched in shock, Xu Feng walked towards the Mystic Thunder, activating the Dao Mystic Scripture. Xu Feng's confidence in provoking the Mystic Thunder came from the Purple Thunder. The Purple Thunder had once absorbed Linghua's Thunder Seed, and he wondered if it could also counter the Mystic Thunder.

Most importantly, Xu Feng recalled the various times the Purple Thunder had appeared. He felt that the Purple Thunder itself was a heavenly mystic object, and a very high-level one at that. After all, he had never heard of any other heavenly mystic thunder that could absorb lightning.

As if sensing Xu Feng's approach, the Green Rock Mystic Thunder began to rage, shooting out thick lightning bolts that struck the cave walls, turning the hard rock into powder and creating a large pit.

Seeing the power of the lightning, Xu Feng was speechless, thinking that the attack was no less than that of a Thunder Seed. If the residual lightning of the Mystic Thunder could unleash such power, how terrifying would the Mystic Thunder itself be?

Xu Feng took a deep breath and activated the Dao Mystic Scripture. Under his control, he could faintly feel the Purple Thunder on his forehead, which began to flicker.

As the Purple Thunder flickered, Xu Feng gritted his teeth and took quick steps forward. His actions instantly alarmed the Green Rock Mystic Thunder, and several lightning bolts struck Xu Feng.

Liu Qianru, seeing the powerful lightning bolts, shouted in fear, "Xu Feng, retreat quickly!"

However, to Liu Qianru's surprise, the lightning bolts striking Xu Feng didn't make him retreat. Instead, the lightning seemed to be decomposed and absorbed by Xu Feng's body. Liu Qianru could faintly see a purple glow on Xu Feng's body.

Liu Qianru rubbed her eyes, confirming what she saw, and couldn't help but mutter in shock, "He's not afraid of lightning?"

As Liu Qianru struggled to understand, more lightning bolts struck Xu Feng, but just like before, they were decomposed and absorbed by him.

"Is this guy really not afraid of lightning? Has he been struck so many times that he's immune to it?" Liu Qianru looked at Xu Feng in surprise, thinking that given his shamelessness, it was possible that he was struck so often that he no longer cared.

Xu Feng, of course, didn't know about Liu Qianru's accusations. If he did, he would have exploded: "How could I be someone who gets struck by lightning? You're the one who gets struck, and your whole family gets struck!"

As Xu Feng continued to approach the Mystic Thunder, he was overjoyed. As he had expected, each time the lightning struck him, the Purple Thunder would decompose and absorb it, helping to refine his body. Xu Feng could feel the Purple Thunder spinning wildly, with threads of purple lightning spreading throughout his body.

At the same time, Xu Feng noticed that the Purple Thunder grew stronger after absorbing the lightning.

In Liu Qianru's incredulous gaze, Xu Feng walked to within a meter of the Mystic Thunder. Liu Qianru couldn't imagine how Xu Feng could remain unharmed amidst such dense lightning. Even if Zhou Yang and others were to attack together, they would be severely injured. But for this young man, it had no effect.

"Is this guy even human? How can he do this at a level below the fifth rank? Is he really so shameless that he's immune to lightning?" Liu Qianru muttered to herself.

Xu Feng, looking at the Green Rock Mystic Thunder right in front of him, stood straight, allowing the lightning to strike him. Lightning bolts continuously struck Xu Feng, making onlookers gape in astonishment. The Purple Thunder in Xu Feng's body slowly grew stronger, and the speed of its rotation on his forehead increased.

The Mystic Thunder's rage grew stronger, but Xu Feng stood firm, absorbing so much lightning. He felt a strong flow of energy in his bones and body, which he knew was the flow of qi. This made Xu Feng extremely happy, but he didn't take the opportunity to break through to the fifth rank. Instead, he focused on controlling the Purple Thunder, running the Dao Mystic Scripture wildly.
