Chapter 4926 — Thunder Explosion

"Right, right, right. And they say he's from the North Island—since when did North Island people become this formidable? Impossible, absolutely impossible. It must be one of those lightning-type spirit beasts inside that couldn't stand the boredom and slipped out in the confusion. It must be!" a bystander declared with great conviction.
"Makes sense. The teleportation array here only restricts entry one way—only Yuan Ying adepts can teleport in, but there's no strength limit on teleporting out. It's entirely possible!" The crowd quickly reached their conclusion.
Listening to these whispered discussions all around, Wang Xinyan, Huang Xiaotao, and the others could not help but laugh and cry at once. True, they too had been badly startled by Wei Zhao's sudden outburst, but to conclude from that he was a lightning-type spirit beast—what kind of thinking was that?
"Oh, so he's the legendary thunder dragon. No wonder he's so strong!" Ni Caiyue's eyes lit up as she listened, thoroughly endorsing the theory.
Wang Xinyan and the others were utterly floored by her. She had just helped refine your Nourishing Mystic Pill—how could he possibly be the legendary thunder dragon? Could a thunder dragon even switch trades and become an alchemist? This girl's head really did not work like normal people's!
Wei Zhao, however, paid no heed at all to the chatter around him. By now he was wholly lost in delight—for this Thunder Explosion just now, the most shaken of all were not the onlookers, but himself!
Thunder Explosion was a new technique he had racked his brains to develop along the way, and the inspiration for it had come from the thunder dragon—on that point, the crowd had actually guessed right.
Before this, although the lightning power within Wei Zhao had grown countless times stronger than before, he had never truly grasped its essence. His method of attack had been plain and simple—to put it bluntly, he simply dumped the lightning power stored in his body outward, with not a shred of technique to speak of.
It was like a wealthy miser whose house was bursting with money, yet who only knew how to use it like an ordinary man, to fill his belly and keep warm, with no idea whatsoever how to spend so much wealth—a sheer waste of heaven's gifts.
When he first received the lightning inheritance, Wei Zhao could only use electric arcs. Now that his lightning power was countless times stronger, he had mastered the so-called lightning strike, which was in truth merely an enlarged electric arc—no difference in essence whatsoever. With Wei Zhao's comprehension, it naturally did not take him long to realize something had to be wrong!
But just where the problem lay was not so easy for Wei Zhao to figure out on his own; he needed an expert to point the way. Unfortunately, the giant electric eel that had given him the lightning inheritance had long since rotted away to nothing, and the ghost thing was no master of lightning either, so it could hardly offer much advice—until he went to Thunder Burial City.
The several bolts of violet lightning that the vengeful spirit's primal essence had commanded the thunder dragon's corpse to unleash had given Wei Zhao no end of suffering, yet also benefited him greatly. Not only had the lightning power within him grown stronger still, but more importantly, he had seized the chance to glimpse a few of its secrets.
Super-powerful lightning that could reach the violet level was by no means a simple accumulation of lightning power. If that were all it took, deep blue would be the absolute limit.
With the lightning power Wei Zhao currently held in reserve, ordinary lightning strikes were more than enough to deal with the likes of Chang Laiting, but once he faced a true adept—not even a Mountain-Opening adept, merely a somewhat stronger Xuan Ascension one—he would find himself stretched thin.
