Chapter 52: Thunderous Light, Submit to Me!
"Divine Sword Sovereign Thunder Technique."
After putting an end to the chattering with the system, Lu Yu lay in bed, tossing and turning all night without being able to fall asleep.
This was the Divine Sword Sovereign Thunder Technique!
Although the system mentioned that it had been revised with a second-dimensional correction, it was still a cultivation technique! For Lu Yu, who had been reading cultivation web novels since childhood, the allure of this thing was simply too great.
Just think about those scenes from cultivation novels.
Heaven crumbling, earth shattering, the protagonist with a magical treasure in his left hand, an immortal sword in his right, suppressing the heavens with just a word.
How cool was that?!
"No, no, I can't sleep, I must try it!"
Although it was a fragment now, it was still an arcane technique of the Qingyun Sect. If the Three Stars Eight Extremities Fist was so awesome, how weak could a Four-Star technique be?
With this thought, Lu Yu leaped out of his bed, determined not to sleep tonight!
How could he sleep at his age? How could he fall asleep at his age?
The path of cultivation was right before his eyes. Lu Yu had to consider whether this was his only chance in this lifetime to rejuvenate his cultivation. We mustn't shirk our responsibilities.
Hmm, wait a minute, isn't the Taixu lineage more of a cultivation style?
Then that's okay.
Dressed in his clothes, Lu Yu sneaked into the teaching building of the Saint Freya Academy.
The teaching building of Saint Freya Academy was the tallest building in the entire academy. These past few days, when Lu Yu was wandering around, he discovered a little secret: the door to the top floor of this building was actually not locked. Or rather, the door lock of this thing might have been locked before, but it had been broken open by some students using violent means?
Anyway, the top floor of the teaching building was now open, and the door was slightly ajar. It could be easily pushed open.
Lu Yu chose the teaching building to test the power of the Divine Sword Sovereign Thunder Technique mainly because there was likely no one in the building at this time. Plus, this floor was high, so the probability of being discovered was low.
"Let me think, this thing requires a divine weapon, right?"
Lu Yu recalled the system's introduction to the Divine Sword Sovereign Thunder Technique. The second point emphasized that this technique required the use of a divine weapon, otherwise, thunder would strike the user, leading to their own demise!
A divine weapon...
"Where can I find a divine weapon?"
Standing on the rooftop, Lu Yu looked around. He wasn't sure what type of divine weapon the system required, but he guessed it was probably something like the Magnetic Storm Slash?
Since it needed to trigger heavenly thunder, ordinary swords like steel or iron swords were definitely not suitable. Not to mention powerful weapons like the Key of the Gods, at the very least, it had to be a well-known and formidable weapon.
The problem was that Lu Yu was currently just a high-level janitor. Where could he find a good weapon in the middle of the night?
"A good weapon..."
Muttering to himself about a good weapon, Lu Yu looked around, and just as he was pondering whether he should go find a physical holy sword, he suddenly spotted a suitable target within his field of vision.
"Oh, my goodness, how could I forget about this? Triggering heavenly thunder is a perfect match!"
[Power-D activated successfully, remaining activation attempts for today: 4 times.]
Using the power of Strength-D, Lu Yu effortlessly snapped off a slender cylindrical object. Holding the weapon he had just acquired, Lu Yu gave it a light swing.
Well, the feel was okay, he chose this one!
[Divine Weapon] obtained, Lu Yu took a deep breath, then step by step, walked to the center of the rooftop.
"Nine Heavens Profound Massacre, transform into divine thunder!"
"Incomparable heavenly might, guided by the sword!"
Thunderous light, submit to me!
Imitating the appearance of Senior Sister Lu from the cultivation novels he used to read, Lu Yu loudly recited the incantation of the Divine Sword Sovereign Thunder Technique!
Boom!
As Lu Yu shouted, the Divine Sword Sovereign Thunder Technique was completely triggered. Ancient incantations, mysterious echoes filled the sky, and in an instant, the weather changed dramatically. The night sky over Saint Freya Academy, which had just been calm, suddenly resounded with thunder.
A massive and profound dark vortex spun rapidly in the sky. Electric arcs crackled, and the wind howled. Lu Yu stood suspended in mid-air, his white clothes billowing.
With a resounding shout, Lu Yu commanded a myriad of electric arcs that filled the sky, and spread out far and wide, seemingly tearing apart the heavens and earth.
In the depths of the clouds, countless electric arcs swiftly gathered, and thunderous roars reverberated across the sky. In half a moment, within the depths of the dark vortex, massive electric currents converged, forming a torrent that rushed down, landing on the [Divine Weapon] in Lu Yu's hand.
This terrifying technique that triggered celestial phenomena in an instant shocked the powerful beings of this world. Even Archbishop Otto, located in the Schicksal Headquarters, felt the horrifying pressure from heaven and earth. Kevin, the World Serpent, even felt a trace of trepidation. What was most terrifying was that even the consciousness of Ruin was disturbed!
However... none of the above scenes actually occurred!
The truth was, as Lu Yu recited confidently, nothing happened in the sky over Saint Freya.
Lu Yu: "???"
"My Divine Sword Sovereign Thunder Technique? It didn't trigger successfully? No way! Let's try again, one more time."
"Nine Heavens Profound Massacre, transform into divine thunder. Incomparable heavenly might, guided by the sword!"
The sky remained calm.
"Nine Heavens Profound Massacre, transform into divine thunder. Incomparable heavenly might, guided by the sword!"
Still, the sky showed no changes. At this point, even a little bird flew by.
Lu Yu: "..."
"Stupid system, let me ask you, are you sure I've truly learned the Divine Sword Sovereign Thunder Technique?"
[Yes, the host has successfully learned the technique Divine Sword Sovereign Thunder Technique (Partial).]
"Then why can't I activate it?"
[The host has successfully activated the Divine Sword Sovereign Thunder Technique!]
"Successfully activated? Where is it? I didn't see anything!"
[Please have the host touch his own clothes.]
"Clothes?"
Listening to the system, Lu Yu reached out and touched the T-shirt he was wearing.
Crackling!
Just as Lu Yu's fingers made contact with his clothes, a burst of white electrical sparks, about the size of a cricket, exploded out of thin air.
Lu Yu: "????"
"This is my Divine Sword Sovereign Thunder Technique?"
[Yes.]
Lu Yu: "?????"
"Are you sure this is the Divine Sword Sovereign Thunder Technique and not just static electricity?"
[Of course, from a scientific perspective, clothes made of chemical fiber fabrics like nylon, polyester, acrylic, etc., tend to generate static electricity easily. The clothes the host is wearing today are not made of such materials, so we can rule out the possibility of static electricity. Based on these conclusions, what the host just witnessed is most likely the heavenly thunder of the Divine Sword Sovereign Thunder Technique!]
"Most likely? So you're not even sure if this thing is really the Divine Sword Sovereign Thunder Technique and not just static electricity? Is this the ultimate secret of Qingyun?"
[The system has already provided a hint. This technique has been adjusted through the second dimension. The host should not have high expectations.]
Fine, true to form, the unreliable stuff you give! No wonder you're so generous with a six-star fragment, it's all a joke, huh?
"Alright, alright, I'm going back to sleep. What a garbage technique, I won't learn it. Go to hell!"
...
One hour later, Fu Hua, who was practicing boxing in her dorm, suddenly felt that something was off. Just a moment ago, her heart suddenly raced, and the instinctive danger perception of a martial artist made her sense that something seemed to be approaching.
"What's going on?!"
Just as Fu Hua was shocked, several huge thunderbolts suddenly appeared out of thin air, and two thunderbolts as thick as a bucket struck a certain spot in Saint Freya Academy. Luckily, the lightning came and went quickly, the entire process taking less than a dozen seconds. In the deep silence of the night, only Fu Hua noticed this strange scene in the entire Saint Freya Academy.
Fu Hua: "What's happened?"
