Chapter 6

"Thunder and Lightning!"

In the small forest by the mountain stream, a clear and cold shout suddenly echoed.

In the forest, a figure darted through the trees, his palm striking out with a resounding sound, accompanied by a series of thunderous booms.

A muffled thud, and splinters of wood flew everywhere, spider-web-like cracks appearing where the palm struck.

Another crack, and the tree collapsed.

Ye Xiwen had already practiced the Four-Strike Thunder Hand to a very high level, performing it effortlessly without any hindrance. Five days had passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Xiwen's full strength had reached 995 pounds, just a little short of breaking through to 1000 pounds, which would give him the strength of two tigers. Generally, only martial artists at the fifth level could achieve the strength of two tigers. However, although Ye Xiwen's strength was already approaching the strength of two tigers, he could feel that he was not far from breaking through to the fourth level.

Because his strength had already approached the strength of two tigers, and his Thunder Hand had finally reached six resounding strikes!

In these five days, his progress was significant, enough to sweep away experts at the fourth level of the innate realm, but it was still not enough, far from enough!

Ye Xiwen repeatedly practiced the Thunder Hand, for the fourth and fifth levels of martial arts were a watershed. In terms of strength, 1000 pounds was also a significant watershed. A martial artist with 1000 pounds of strength, or the strength of two tigers, could easily defeat several martial artists with 999 pounds of strength.

When a person's strength surged to 500 pounds, it was no longer just distributed throughout the body, but condensed into a single force, no longer scattered, continuously and endlessly, increasing the power several times over, bringing about a dramatic change.

And when a person's strength increased to 1000 pounds, it would generate two forces, resonating and becoming even stronger.

Ye Xiwen performed another round of the Thunder Hand, bringing out seven resounding booms.

"Bang!"

Ye Xiwen struck the air again, his body drenched in sweat, as if he had just emerged from water. His muscles were sore and twitching, seemingly at their limit.

Ye Xiwen gritted his teeth, shaking off the sweat that was about to drip into his eyes. His body was sore and weak, but he knew that the more he pushed himself, the more he could not give up. Although the One Origin Sect on Green Peak Mountain was just a branch of the main sect, it still had a rich collection of texts, including detailed records on how to break through. The key to breaking through was to achieve continuous and endless power, precisely when the body was most exhausted, to generate new strength without rest, forming a cycle, endlessly.

"Hisss..." Ye Xiwen's cracked lips curled, and without pausing, he performed another set of Thunder Hand.

His figure darted through the forest, each move precise and meticulous.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Xiwen's figure stopped, and a palm strike produced a burst of thunder-like true qi, creating a resounding boom.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

"Bang!"

Ye Xiwen's palm actually produced a seventh thunder-like boom.

Ye Xiwen's muscles began to twitch, his bones clattering, old strength exhausted, and new strength naturally generated. Ye Xiwen's strength broke through, coalescing into a single force, reaching the strength of two tigers. His strength made a significant leap, and his cultivation smoothly broke through to the peak of the fourth level.

Although he was only at the peak of the fourth level, Ye Xiwen had the strength of two tigers and a Thunder Hand that had reached seven resounding strikes.

Even martial artists at the fifth level of the innate realm were no match for him.

Suddenly, a faint rustling sound came from a patch of forest ahead, and then a huge, two-meter-tall pig-like monster, covered in long spines, snorted and pushed its way out of the forest.

Ye Xiwen's heart tightened. This was a fifth-level innate realm beast, a porcupine. Its greatest weapon was the long spines covering its body, which it could shoot out when threatened, turning its prey into a pincushion.

The porcupine had thick skin and was difficult to deal with, with great strength and long tusks that could impale a tiger.

The porcupine's small eyes locked onto Ye Xiwen the moment it emerged. It stomped its feet, and its muscles tightened. In an instant, dozens of long spines shot out like arrows, raining down on Ye Xiwen.

Ye Xiwen was a bit frustrated, not sure what had happened. He must have been too focused on his practice and inadvertently entered the porcupine's territory. However, Ye Xiwen's actions were swift. He stomped his foot, and true qi exploded beneath him, making him light as a swallow. He leaped into the air, dodging most of the spines, and then swatted away a few that came at his face.

Seeing its attack fail, the porcupine charged at incredible speed, completely different from its bulky and heavy appearance. Its long tusks pointed upward, aiming to impale Ye Xiwen.

In mid-air, Ye Xiwen's left foot touched his right foot, and he twisted his body, changing direction and narrowly avoiding the porcupine's tusks.

As soon as Ye Xiwen landed, the porcupine's mountain-like body charged over, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

Ye Xiwen let out a cold snort, not retreating. He stomped his foot, and a burst of true qi exploded, his figure darting like an arrow. His palm struck out, enveloped in swirling mist, with lightning and thunder, the deafening boom shaking the air. In an instant, Ye Xiwen's palm pierced through the porcupine's dense spines and struck its body. The Cloudy Force exploded, and Ye Xiwen's strength of two tigers fully erupted.

"Bang!"

The porcupine was struck with its skin torn and several ribs broken, letting out a series of pained cries. Its mountain-like body was forced to retreat.

If it were ordinary true qi, it would have been ineffective against the thick-skinned porcupine, let alone a fifth-level innate realm beast, while Ye Xiwen was only at the peak of the third level.

But Ye Xiwen's strength had already surpassed the strength of two tigers, not much less than the porcupine's, and his Thunder Hand had reached the seventh resounding strike.

With just one palm, he tore the porcupine's skin and broke its ribs, causing it to cry out in pain.
