I, representing the hundreds of people in the Wen Clan, thank you.

The Wen Clan Leader’s expression was serious and his posture was also grand. It was like he was honoring a great god.
Everyone else below did the same. Nobody dared to merely stand, as they all bowed down towards Ling Xian, showing their respect.
Originally, these people felt hopeless because they thought the Wen Clan might not be able to get away with their crisis. Yet Ling Xian killed four of the enemies who showed up. The one remaining was converted into a prisoner. This meant that their trouble had been solved by him.
Ignoring whether or not their trouble will come up again in the future, today, they were grateful because today, they were rebuilt. Ling Xian deserved every Wen Clan member’s appreciation.
Therefore, they were either gazing at Ling Xian with respect or with love. They bowed before him using the grandest and most ceremonial etiquette.
Seeing this, Ling Xian waved his hand and smiled.
Please do stand up. I naturally did everything I promised you guys. Please, this whole situation, in nature, is us making a deal.


It may be a deal or it may be a promise. Regardless, you have done so much for the Wen Clan, you deserve us showing you the utmost respect.

The Wen Clan Leader was full of smiles. The original worries and hopelessness on his face disappeared without a trace. What replaced it was confidence.
Confidence towards Ling Xian.
What could he do? Ling Xian’s behavior today was far too overpowering. That original powerhouse he defeated wasn’t just a random cultivator off the street, but a vice ruler who was known as the Human Butcher. This alone has proven his powerfulness.
Therefore, as much as they were shocked, the Wen Clan also saw hope.

Do as you will.

Ling Xian chuckled.
Alright, clean up the battlefield. I am going to go back first.

Then, he grabbed the elder with his left hand and tore the space with his right. He headed towards the bamboo forest.
As he moved, the Wen Clan Leader bowed down again. A respectful statement left his, and everyone else’s lips.

We bid farewell to the young master.

…
After returning to the bamboo forest, Ling Xian began his training.
He wanted to try and see, with the aid of the Heavenly Rumbling Thunder, how much faster he will be able to cultivate the Indestructible Physique.
Therefore, Ling Xian summoned the Indestructible Physique and asked the elder to send down lightning bolts.
This nicknamed Human Butcher powerhouse wasn’t willing but didn’t dare to disobey. He knew that if he makes Ling Xian unhappy, he will be chopped into pieces.
Therefore, he silently sighed and displayed the Heavenly Rumbling Thunder.
At once, the originally sunny sky darkened. A giant dark cloud quickly formed and alongside the thunder and lightning, the atmosphere turned horrifying.
However, not only did Ling Xian’s expression remain unchanged. He actually smiled and hurried,
Quick, I cannot wait any longer.

Hearing this, the elder’s body quivered and he croaked,
Yes, I will do it right now.

Then, he formed a hand seal and began to push this technique.
HOMMM, HOOMMM, HOMMMM.
The sky turned dark and the thunderous clouds rolled. Countless lightning bolts dropped down and landed squarely on Ling Xian’s body.
Then, the Indestructible Physique automatically took over. It first absorbed some of the lightning’s power and used the remaining to aid its training.

Not bad. Roughly estimating… it increased by about three times.

Feeling his physique slowly growing stronger, Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. His collected and casual way made it seem like he wasn’t showering in lightning, but was showering in harmless raindrops.
This made the elder shudder. The fear he was feeling intensified. But at the same time, he continued to curse and wished for Ling Xian to die under these lightning bolts.
Sadly, he was disappointed.
As time went on, not only was Ling Xian not showing the slightest sign of unusualness, he was actually extremely energetic and spirited.
It was actually the giant cloud of thunder in the sky that was getting smaller and smaller, lighter and lighter.
After some time, the thunderous cloud finally dissipated and the sky restored its clarity.
However, Ling Xian wasn’t finished. Though being struck so many times made him feel pain, his gains were shocking.
That short amount of time would’ve normally cost him three days of training.
Maybe comparing it on a one on one basis, it’s not much. But after accumulating for some time, it would be an intense enhancement.
Therefore, despite the pain he felt, he thought it was worth it.

Not bad, continue.

The corner of Ling Xian’s lip curled up. What he had said made the elder’s body quiver. The way he looked at him was like he was looking at a monster.
But the elder didn’t dare to disobey. He could only go against his will and once again summon the Heavenly Rumbling Thunder.
This time, he tried to play tricks and sent the lightning faster in an attempt to kill Ling Xian.
HOMMMM!
The dark clouds converged and the shocking lightning dashed across the sky. Along with the violent wind, everything slammed onto Ling Xian.
The terrifying Qi swept out and crushed the bamboo forest. Even the space before them was struck until it was broken.
At this, Ling Xian teasingly smiled. The elder’s little trick could not be hidden from him. However, to him, the stronger the lightning bolts the better. Because that would mean faster training speed.
Therefore, he didn’t punish the elder. Not yet. Instead, he took on the falling lightning bolts.
HOMMM, HOMMM, HOMMM!
After a series of ear splitting rumbles, the entire space was covered by heavenly light. Nothing could be seen anymore.

I want to strike you dead right away. If I can’t, heavily injuring you is fine.

The elder stared deadly over at Ling Xian. There was anticipation and killer’s intent.
Sadly, he was disappointed again.
After the heavenly light dissipated, Ling Xian remained unharmed and he was as steady as a mountain. Not only that, his eyes shone brightly and the gold light around him intensified. He truly was similar to a golden God of Warrior who could destroy everything.
This made the elder’s irises restrict. He found it hard to conceal the disappointment in his eyes.

The power from this round isn’t bad. Sadly, it’s not enough to kill me.

Ling Xian spoke softly and raised his hand to strike. Instantly, the elder was pushed out for metres and began to puke blood.

I am teaching you a lesson. Remember, don’t play tricks again.


Yes, yes, I will remember.

The elder nodded continuously, other than fear in his eyes, fear remained.
First, it was due to Ling Xian’s insane physique. Second, it was because his little trick was discovered.

Very well. Let’s continue the thunders and lightning. But remember to get them as strong as the last time.
Ling Xian glared at him.

Yes, Young Master.

The elder bitterly smiled. The powerful round of the Heavenly Thunders was not easily summoned. It cost him lots of energy.
Originally, he wanted to kill Ling Xian with it. However, unexpectedly, not only was Ling Xian unharmed, he became more energetic. This truly was like when one tries to trap a chicken but ends up losing rice to the chicken.

Aye, oh well. I will do as he says and wait patiently for help.

The elder silently sighed and stopped trying to play tricks. Then, he called out to his spiritual energy and used his all to summon the Heavenly Rumbling Thunder.
HOMMM, HOMMM, HOMMM.
The dark clouds continued to converge as the thunders came unstoppably. One after one, lightning bolts flashed down and helped Ling Xian out.
He showered in lightning and was as steady as Tai Mountain. No matter how aggressive the lightning bolts were, they could not faze him one bit. It was as if he was the God of Thunders and injuries cannot even be sustained.
With the help of the thunder and lightning, the gold color emitted by his body intensified and his physique increased in capabilities.
