Chapter 75: Diary Heavenly Thunder Tempering Technique, I’m Going to Tribulate!
Two in the afternoon.
Inside the Investigation Bureau.
Everyone was gathered together at this moment.
Bai Yu picked up the bureau’s communication device and called Hu Chengyong’s.
“Hello, do you copy, do you copy!”
“Ninth Group’s First Squad has received, please give instructions!”
“Mm, Group Leader Hu, our Seventh Group has figured out the jumping-into-the-river case. How about we cooperate?”
On the other side, in a patrol car.
The Ninth Group had just dealt with a Fishman and were currently on normal patrol, not expecting their communication device to ring.
At first, when Hu Chengyong heard the voice, he felt something was strange, somewhat familiar, and a bit cheeky.
But he still instinctively replied as a matter of routine.
Now, hearing it, he realized this was the voice of that newcomer from the Seventh Group!
“You brat, you’re using the public channel for private use, I’m reporting you!”
“Alright then, it seems Group Leader Hu isn’t planning to cooperate. In that case, forget it. I’ll find Group Leader Jiang Yan.”
“Heh~ You’re playing games with me now, aren’t you?”
“There’s no other way. My strength is here, and the intelligence is in my hands. With Group Leader Hu’s attitude, I don’t think this will be easy to negotiate. Besides, I prefer straightforward and relaxed cooperation.”
Hu Chengyong thought carefully. He was indeed in a terrible state because of the jumping-into-the-river case.
It just felt too embarrassing to be cornered by a newcomer.
“.Alright, you brat. But, you know me, I’m straightforward! How do you propose we cooperate?”
“After our patrol finishes at eleven tonight, let’s talk.”
“Heh~! You’re really building up the suspense.”
“Group Leader Hu, please continue with your work. See you tonight.”
Then, the communication ended.
Hu Chengyong grumbled a few curses, then wondered, “What’s going on with the Seventh Group? I heard they were busy with something big yesterday, how did they suddenly get a lead on the jumping-into-the-river case?”
“Captain, isn’t it possible that it’s related to what happened yesterday? After all, they were busy at Cloud Lake all day.”
“Oh ho~! Now that you mention it, that makes sense! But… there’s something off about that newcomer from the Seventh Group, he doesn’t seem simple.”
Thinking this, he regretted why this person hadn’t come to his group!
However, upon closer consideration, with his personality, if Bai Yu were to join, he’d likely be a troublemaker within the team, constantly bickering with him.
They wouldn’t have any major conflicts, but it would be like constant squabbling between rivals.
Afternoon.
After finishing his explanations, Bai Yu began his cultivation journey.
Little White Dragon flew into the air, stirring the clouds, which could be considered a different form of cultivation.
Around ten in the evening.
Bai Yu let out a deep sigh.
“This must be the longest I’ve ever cultivated.”
“I’ve mastered two of the four pathways for Palm Lightning: one for increasing range, and the other for the lightning cage. It’s a shame I haven’t figured out how to operate both pathways simultaneously.”
“One step at a time.”
His cultivation speed was already quite fast, so there was no need to rush.
He then looked at the intelligence he hadn’t purchased today.
“Heavenly Thunder Tempering Technique, Fishman Sorcerer.”
“It’s past midnight, so this Fishman Sorcerer probably isn’t worth pursuing anymore.”
“Heavenly Thunder Tempering Technique, redeem!”
Eagerly, he looked at this piece of intelligence, Bai Yu thinking: Can this truly improve my strength quickly?
【 September 17, 2038
Today, I encountered a stroke of bad luck. I was struck by lightning! Dozens of heavenly lightning bolts! They came straight for me! Someone must be trying to harm me!
Vile scoundrels, I will tear you to shreds!
But I must say, there’s a twist.
One of the six golden pages automatically floated out, absorbed the lightning, and converted it into a gentle energy before striking me.
September 25, 2038
Damn! Amazing!
I discovered that this energy significantly improved my physique.
Later, I had Bai Ling try to guide heavenly lightning to strike me. As a result, the golden page opened again, guiding lightning into my body, tempering my meridians. It felt painful, tingly, like a pleasure that was almost death, incredibly satisfying.
October 10, 2038
So good! So good!
Hahaha~ Electrocute me! Electrocute me quickly!
After weeks of research, I found that the golden page possesses the miraculous ability to convert lightning. This energy can not only be used for body tempering but also for cultivating lightning-element spiritual treasures.
Oh, right! I’ve also used Old Feng’s Thunder Laboratory to cultivate a batch of Purple Gold Thunder Bamboo. Wonderful!
Farming is endlessly fun~
February 11, 2039
As my research and cultivation deepened, I felt I had developed a peculiar physique. I can’t quite describe it, but I truly feel a terrifying power within me about to erupt.
I’m so awesome!
Let’s go! 】
Bai Yu quickly scanned it.
He hadn’t expected this intelligence to be related to the golden pages.
More importantly, he only discovered this matter a year later.
Now that he had this intelligence, it was equivalent to having it a year in advance.
“It seems that without my Golden Finger, I’ve managed to live quite well, finding my own path.”
“It also mentioned Old Feng and the Purple Gold Thunder Bamboo.”
“But damn it, why did your last diary entry cut off? What power is in your body, you should say! What are your speculations, you should write them down!”
“Being awesome is useless!”
Bai Yu truly hated these guys who deliberately left cliffhangers!
Afterward, he began to consider how to deal with the golden pages.
“The functions of the remaining four golden pages have yet to be discovered.”
“Which one is it specifically?”
“And it seems to require heavenly lightning…”
Thinking this, Bai Yu’s eyes lit up. He quickly went to the window and looked up at the sky for a while.
Bai Ling seemed to sense something and soon floated down.
“Brother Bai Yu, are we leaving?”
Her tone was a mix of excitement and a hint of nervousness.
This was, after all, her first battle since her birth, and she was afraid of not performing well.
Bai Yu excitedly asked, “Bai Ling, can you guide heavenly lightning?”
“Of course! But this will also cause rain. However, a lot of the water vapor in this city has drifted away, so it shouldn’t cause a disaster now.”
“Great! Wait for me.”
Bai Yu immediately grabbed his phone and checked the time: 22:53.
He asked in the group chat, “Um, how’s the Ninth Group doing? It’s almost midnight. Why is there no news yet? When are we setting off?”
Zhao Bin: “They just sent a message saying they need to deal with an important character and might need some time.”
“Okay! By the way, are there any suitable places in our area for attracting lightning?”
“Why do you ask all of a sudden?”
“I want to undergo tribulation.”
Liu Feifei: “Are you trying to ascend, forget the mortal world, and forget about us?”
“.”
But Liu Feifei immediately added, “Just leave Bai Ling behind, your ascension is irrelevant.”
“Damn it! You care so little about me. But, seriously, are there any lightning attraction points nearby?”
Qin Wanqing: “How about the rooftop of the Yunan Group headquarters building? Attracting lightning on a tall building’s terrace won’t attract too much attention.”
“Okay!”
The Yunan Group headquarters was only about a ten-minute drive away. Qin Wanqing and the others followed.
Liu Feifei couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Are you really going to undergo tribulation? A special cultivation method?”
“Something like that, it’s related to the golden pages. I just don’t know how effective it will be.”
Although Liu Feifei liked to bicker with him, after reaching the rooftop, she couldn’t help but say, “Be careful!”
Bai Yu smiled upon hearing this.
They were all tough on the outside but soft on the inside!
The Yunan Group headquarters building was about 40 stories high, reaching over 180 meters! It was the tallest building in this jurisdiction.
Standing on the terrace, Bai Yu could feel the strong wind. He glanced at the Dragon Pearl in his hand and said, “Bai Ling, it’s up to you!”
“Okay~”
With that, Bai Ling flew towards the sky.
“Rumble~”
The next moment, thunder roared, and violent lightning struck, but it didn’t concentrate on Bai Yu’s location.
This was a pre-arranged maneuver.
Firstly, Bai Yu didn’t know how much lightning he could withstand. Secondly, if all the lightning struck him, it would truly be a tribulation!
It was estimated that it wouldn’t be long before videos would spread wildly online, and a group of Golden Core and Nascent Soul Big Bosses would debate online.
In a flash, a torrential downpour began.
The wind on the terrace grew more violent.
Bai Ling, high in the sky, transmitted her voice telepathically, “Brother Bai Yu, be careful, it’s coming!”
“Mm, bring it on. Let the storm rage even more fiercely!”
“Rumble~”
A terrifying bolt of lightning struck down instantly.
As the lightning approached, Bai Yu felt a trace of nervousness. He had never experienced such a thrill in either of his lives.
As the lightning neared, a golden page suddenly reacted.
The terrifying lightning poured into the page, and astonishing currents flowed across it, then directly guided into Bai Yu’s body.
As the domineering power entered his body, Bai Yu felt intense pain and let out a muffled groan.
‘Damn it! Bro, you lied to me!’
‘Tingly and almost deathly pleasure?’
‘This is clearly something that will kill me!’
Bai Ling’s voice also rang out, “Brother Bai Yu, are you okay?”
Bai Yu gritted his teeth. He felt he could still endure.
Despite the pain, as long as it could improve his strength, he could bear it!
“Continue!”
“Rumble~”
Another surge of current was injected. Bai Yu felt his whole body go numb, and his right arm almost lost sensation.
“Stop, stop, stop, hold on for a moment, let me recover.”
Bai Ling’s worried voice sounded, and the other team members were also concerned.
Directly channeling heavenly lightning into the body, this cultivation method was too overbearing!
More importantly, Bai Yu hadn’t gone through the Body Refining stage, so he might not be able to withstand it.
However, Bai Yu discovered that the speed at which he was circulating the Great Heavenly Cycle was astonishingly fast!
The lightning power rapidly flowed into his meridians, forcefully cleansing them, acupoints, and impacting every part of his body.
He could clearly feel his cells being activated.
“Awesome!”
Bai Yu roared, lightning erupting all around him, dozens of electric arcs striking randomly.
Qin Wanqing immediately cast a barrier to protect everyone.
Afterward, two more bolts of lightning struck. Bai Yu then felt his body was saturated and had reached its limit.
When the lightning dissipated and the rain gradually stopped, Bai Ling flew down, and the surrounding people immediately gathered around.
Bai Yu let out a heavy sigh, “Hoo~”
Lightning crackled around him, making him look incredibly wild and demonic.
These lightning bolts were rapidly consuming and strengthening his body.
Liu Feifei, with a mix of worry and curiosity, asked, “How do you feel? Accepting so much energy on your first try, isn’t it too much? Will your body be alright?”
Bai Yu clenched his right fist and said excitedly, “Hahaha, I feel full of power! It’s amazing!”
He even felt that this intelligence was equivalent to Purple Grade intelligence for him!
This was a super shortcut to improving strength! Its effect was even better than the golden page that controlled spiritual arts.
Speaking of which, he currently only had Tracking Technique and Gungnir for spiritual arts.
No! He could also absorb the power of the unknown Evil God, but he hadn’t encountered one recently.
The others clearly felt Bai Yu’s excitement and a slight change in his physique.
Seeing that Bai Yu was fine, Liu Feifei muttered, “You’re really a monster!”
“Hahaha~ My abilities are just strong, what can I do!”
“Hmph! From now on, you’ll have to protect us sisters.”
“Absolutely! I won’t let a single hair on your heads be harmed.”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but say with a hint of ‘sourness’: ‘Sigh, these days it’s all about prioritizing romance over friendship.’
Bai Yu readily admitted, “Of course! Speaking of which, what time is it now? Is the Ninth Group still not done?”
Zhao Bin replied, “It’s half past eleven, and there’s still no news from the Ninth Group.”
“Really, I’m looking forward to fighting right away! Speaking of which, with my berserk lightning, won’t the Dragon River Woman be electrocuted into ashes, wailing, and begging me to conquer her?”
His tone was extremely arrogant!
Since the Ninth Group was still not finished, everyone could only return to the Investigation Bureau and wait.
It was past midnight, and there was still no news.
Bai Yu then looked at his intelligence.
He quickly scanned it.
Damn!
【 Intelligence Four （ Blue ）
Keyword: Dragon River Woman
Required Intelligence Value: 50 】
Bai Yu was stunned.
“What’s going on? Wasn’t the Dragon River Woman supposed to be dealt with by us tonight? Why is there a related Blue Grade intelligence worth fifty Intelligence Value refreshing?”
Bai Yu frowned. Could something have happened?
“There must be something strange about this Dragon River Woman!”
“No! I must redeem this intelligence to feel at ease.”
He vaguely worried that the Dragon River Woman might have hidden her strength and directly annihilated them!
That would be disastrous.
He glanced at the 16 Intelligence Value left from yesterday and breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he completed today’s four tasks, he could redeem it.
“Thirty kilometers… that’s quite time-consuming.”
However, to be honest, after experiencing the lightning, his stamina felt extraordinary. If he ran at full speed, it was hard to say!
At his fastest, he might reach thirty to fifty meters per second, but he couldn’t sustain it for long.
Taking a deep breath, without further ado, he immediately started the basic three exercises.
In just fifteen minutes, Bai Yu completed the push-ups and two other tasks, then ran around the bureau.
His average speed was over fifteen meters per second, surpassing the sprinters of his previous life.
Half past midnight.
The vehicles of the Ninth Group’s three squads stopped at the entrance.
Hu Chengyong’s laughter could be heard from afar.
“Hahaha~ Finally, a big achievement!”
As he spoke, he looked at a woman with good looks but fishman features standing nearby.
“She must be interrogated thoroughly! To get more achievements.”
As soon as he walked through the entrance, he felt a gust of wind. He looked closely and saw someone running!
Hu Chengyong frowned and wondered, “Isn’t that the newcomer from the Seventh Group? Running so late at night, and they’re about to take action?”
The key point is that running doesn’t significantly improve strength.
Circulating spiritual energy to increase spiritual power is more effective!
No! That kid just moved like a gust of wind, his speed was truly terrifying. His physical training is good, at least his escape ability should be decent.
While he was wondering, the Seventh Group also received the news in advance and came out at this moment.
Hu Chengyong excitedly boasted, “Heh heh~ I caught a rather important Fishman Sorcerer today! It’s definitely worth more than a subordinate.”
“By the way, can you tell me about the jumping-into-the-river case now?”
Zhao Bin replied, “We need to wait.”
“Wait? Wait for what?”
Zhao Bin also didn’t know how to explain, “Uh…”
Just as he was confused, Bai Yu actually ran another lap, passing in front of everyone.
Hu Chengyong’s gaze followed his running figure, then he looked at Zhao Bin and the others and said, “Waiting for him? We have a whole group waiting to solve the case, and he’s out here running. Isn’t this just messing around?”
Liu Feifei said indignantly, “Aren’t we waiting for you too? What’s the problem with that? And this is a case we investigated!”
Hu Chengyong coughed awkwardly upon hearing this, “Cough cough, my apologies for my rough words.”
He was a blunt person, and sometimes he wasn’t very likable, but his character was generally reliable.
Seeing that the Seventh Group was indeed waiting for Bai Yu to finish running, Hu Chengyong could only arrange his team members and immediately begin the interrogation!
The sooner and more thoroughly the mouth is pried open, the higher the intelligence value.
Bai Yu didn’t want to keep them waiting too long, so he sped up.
He even started panting heavily.
This was the first time since becoming a Transcendent that he felt truly exhausted!
Finally, the mission completion notification sounded.
Bai Yu stopped, panting heavily, and walked towards the dormitory building, planning to wash up and check the intelligence.
He glanced at the running timer again: 28 minutes and 44 seconds.
“Damn! The speed reached 17.4 meters per second.”
He could be 100% sure that his previous best was only half of that.
“Is the Heavenly Thunder Tempering Technique this overbearing? I need to cultivate it more in the future!”
“Speaking of which, I also had a Talisman Brush today, and I haven’t had time to drip blood to confirm it yet.”
“This day is really busy!”
“However, the most urgent matter now is the intelligence about the Dragon River Woman.”
Taking a deep breath, he was about to purchase the intelligence.
However, he noticed that an Investigator also seemed to have just finished exercising.
This person saw Bai Yu and immediately greeted him excitedly, “Captain Bai, hello!”
Bai Yu recognized this young man.
His name was Zhao Yu, a member of the Analysis Team, a sophomore in college. He had a clean-cut appearance, his eyes sparkling with youthful vitality, and a sunny smile.
Bai Yu was only a little over a year older than him. This person lived next door to Bai Yu, and they occasionally interacted.
As he spoke, Zhao Yu handed him a bottle of water and said, “You’ve worked hard, Captain Bai.”
Bai Yu took the water and smiled, shaking his head, “I’m not a captain.”
“It’s just more convenient to call you that. I won’t bother you further, goodbye~”
“Mm.”
Bai Yu didn’t dislike this kind of behavior from someone his age trying to get closer.
As long as their personal abilities were good, they could be good friends.
“I should check the intelligence quickly.”
