Chapter 16: Electricity

“It’s not peaceful in Shea tonight.”

Walking on the campus, Baili Qingfeng listened to all the noise.

The incident at noon, after being spread, caused an uproar among the young students of Shire University. All of them were indignant.

Five people who were walking to him were all exasperated. “If I were there, I would’ve charged first and killed those bas*ards.”

“Hehe. Those scumbags should be thrown into the river. It’s only a waste of food if they are kept alive.”

“I would go to their place and beat them hard if I wouldn’t be kicked out of school after that.”

They unleashed their anger.

However…

What Baili Qingfeng heard was regret behind the weak.

Because they were weak, they could only complain here. Although they were humiliated, they didn’t dare take any real action.

Also, because it was weak, Shea could only back off under Aurora’s aggression because every citizen of Shea knew that, if a war broke out between Shea and Aurora, Shea would be demolished, and Aurora…

Aurora would bleed at most.

The Aurora Empire may be as good as Baili Qingfeng’s body qualities. Before the stink of blood attracted other wolves, the Aurora Empire would have already recovered, just like he never needed to go to the hospital even if he was cut.

“Although the nurturing bath reduced the time needed for my training, a few months are still necessary to finish the Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves four times in ten minutes. That’s too slow… If only I could get another bath.”

Baili Qingfeng decided to return to Wuhe City at the weekend and ask his uncle what herbs the nurturing bath needed.

His roommates were not back yet when Baili Qingfeng returned to the dormitory, so he opened a book and started reading it.

The electric current seemed erratic because the orange light bulb was flickering. After a couple of minutes, it died out.

The room became dark.

“A short circuit?” Baili Qingfeng looked out. It was almost 11. The supervisor must’ve gone to bed already.

Since there was a backup light bulb, Baili Qingfeng decided to change it himself.

“Zi! Zi!”

There was no telling what mistake he made while changing bulbs, but Baili Qingfeng sensed that he had received an electric shock.

Suffering the electric shock, Baili Qingfeng shook his right hand instinctively, as if to throw away the pain. However, when his consciousness was gathered on his hand…

He seemed to be throwing out a feeble light of electricity.

The light was so eye-catching in the dark dormitory.

“Huh!?” Baili Qingfeng realized something after the accident. “Electricity?”

He recalled the formula of his cultivation.

The Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves, the Thunderous Breathing, and the Thunderous Juggernaut Method were all from the Primeval Thunder Beast.

The Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves mimicked the beast’s movement, but Thunderous Breathing mimicked the beast’s breathing, and the Thunderous Juggernaut Method was about imaging the beast.

As a divine beast that mastered thunder, the Thunder Beast was once really in this world.

It was incapable of controlling all thunder as it could in myths, but it was still a powerful beast that could release electricity much more efficiently than electric eels.

“The Thunder Beast may have contained powerful biological electricity. So, to make the Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves and the Thunderous Breathing more smooth… Should I try?”

Baili Qingfeng had always been a doer.

The safety voltage in Shea was 200V, and the safety voltage for a human was only 36V. Even a martial fighter would be killed if they were electrified for long. So, Baili Qingfeng found a resistor before he picked up the electric wire…

“Zi! Zi!”

Then…

The breakers were tripped.

Baili Qingfeng was stunned.

Looking at the lamp that had died out again, he had confirmed that.

But it was not a problem.

Ignoring that, Baili Qingfeng practiced the Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves in the room.

“It’s working, but not very effective. It should be better without the resistor.”

Baili Qingfeng sensed it carefully.

Having reached the fifth level of the Thunderous Juggernaut Method, he was capable of introspection. Naturally, his senses about himself were sharp.

“I need to read more books about electricity,” Baili Qingfeng said.

At 12, Buttu, Gu Le and Momil returned to the dormitory, all reeking of alcohol. Gu Le could not even stand on his feet without Buttu and Momil.

Taking advantage of his inebriation, Gu Le shouted when he saw Baili Qingfeng. “If Qingfeng hadn’t stopped me, I would’ve charged and killed those bas*ards! You were too cowardly for that, but I’m not!”

“Baili Qingfeng, your guts do not match your size,” Buttu, also half-drunk, commented.

Momil frowned and said in dissatisfaction. “Alright, everybody has his own choice. Don’t impose your thoughts on other people. Gu Le, if Qingfeng hadn’t stopped you, you would’ve been sent to either the police station or the hospital. Dozens of people have been captured.”

“What are you scared of! We should beat those Aurora people back if they are so blatant in Shea! Does that guy Russel think he is incredible? We can pool some money, hire an expert and sink him in the river.”

“Stop the nonsense.”

Momil said and then turned to Baili Qingfeng. “He’s drunk. Don’t bother about him.”

Baili Qingfeng nodded and said nothing.

The night passed amidst the noise.

At 5 the next morning, Baili Qingfeng left the dormitory and found a place on the campus and began to practice the Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves.

Although it was September, the school was still quiet at 5.

Baili Qingfeng practiced the Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves and watched the horizon to be brightened by the dawn. His heart was finally calm.

He would mind his own business and ignore the rest.

He would make worthy friends and keep a distance from those who were not.

Most things in life did not go as planned. It would be hilarious if one gave up after the first setback.

After practicing the Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves for a while, Baili Qingfeng left the campus and came to an Internet cafe not far away, logging into the forum, ‘Storm of Swords’.

The moment he logged in, the first thing he saw was a declaration on the top in bold red.

“I, Bai Yuxiao, the Proud Sword God, am back. A real warrior is brave enough to confront the gloomy life and the rivers of blood.”

Baili Qingfeng clicked on the thread, only to discover that Bai Yuxiao claimed that he was a determined warrior of the new era and would not give up resisting obsolete thoughts and people.

At the end of the declaration was attached the number of an instant messaging tool, as he was looking for more people to join him.

He added that there were benefits of downloading it.

Baili Qingfeng read it for a while and downloaded the software before he logged in with his account.

It was a group instant messaging software, but the functions were still simple.

Right after Baili Qingfeng greeted everyone, a moderator immediately sent a message. “The founder has been sent to the hospital again by the leader of the Tower of Natural Mysteries after uploading another thirty techniques on punching and breathing. There will be no updates for a while. Please try to understand…”
