23: A bounty! Thunderstone, and an explosive increase in cultivation progress!

Zhang Yang asked around at the Contribution Hall and found a Heaven And Earth Treasure that suited his needs.

There were two types in total.

The first type was called Golden Thunder Bamboo, a treasure that only Infant Transformation Realm Martial Artists could Cultivate, and it was extremely precious.

Zhang Yang looked at the price and immediately shook his head; he simply couldn't afford it.

The other type was the thunder stone, a marvelous mineral of this world.

It contained the power of lightning within, but it was extremely weak.

It would release lightning upon contact with the human body; although it could release lightning,

it couldn't even cause any harm to a Mortal, only a slight tingling sensation.

These thunder stones were numerous and the price was very cheap.

Zhang Yang exchanged one Purple Sun Pill for them, getting roughly over a hundred kilograms.

Before long, Zhang Yang returned to his small courtyard carrying a huge wooden box.

Opening the wooden box, it was packed full of Zhang Yang's target, thunder stones.

They were all roughly the same size, about the size of a fist, and purple in color; besides the color, there was nothing else special about them.

Zhang Yang picked up a thunder stone and instantly felt a tiny electric current being continuously generated.

This current was extremely weak, but its strength lay in its continuity.

At the same time, Zhang Yang's Myriad Thunder Induction Body Art also began to operate automatically, starting to slowly strengthen his Physical Body.

"It really works!"

Feeling this effect, a smile touched the corners of Zhang Yang's mouth.

He then picked up another thunder stone, and the operation speed of the Myriad Thunder Induction Body Art quickened a bit more.

"Hmm? If I'm shocked by multiple targets at the same time, will it speed up the Cultivate speed?"

Zhang Yang's eyebrows shot up, and he then directly poured the thunder stones from the box onto the ground, lying on top of them in a spread-eagle position.

In an instant, Zhang Yang's Myriad Thunder Induction Body Art began to operate frantically, and his physical fitness was also slowly enhancing!

"Awesome! I didn't think it could work like this!"

Feeling his slowly increasing physical fitness, Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Without another word, Zhang Yang stood up directly, preparing to go to the Contribution Hall again to exchange for more thunder stones.

Just as he was about to head out, he saw two people, each carrying two boxes, arriving in front of Zhang Yang's courtyard.

"Senior Brother Zhang Yang! These are the Martial Skills Elder Wang ordered us to bring to you!"

The two of them looked at Zhang Yang, a hint of envy showing in their eyes.

Fortieth place on the war dragon ranking—even if it was only fortieth, it was still an existence far beyond their reach.

Not to mention that Elder Wang had them personally deliver these Martial Skills! That meant Elder Wang thought very highly of Zhang Yang!

To be favored by an Elder, his future achievements were destined to be extraordinary!

"Thank you both, you can leave them here." Zhang Yang nodded, looking at the wooden boxes.

"Alright." The two of them put down the four wooden boxes and then cupped their hands and bowed to Zhang Yang:

"Then Senior Brother Zhang Yang, we shall take our leave!"

After saying that, the two of them turned and left.

Zhang Yang carried the wooden boxes in front of him into the courtyard but didn't open them to take a look.

Instead, after placing the boxes properly, he went directly to the Contribution Hall, planning to exchange for more thunder stones first.

More than ten minutes later,

Zhang Yang returned to his small courtyard carrying roughly six tons of thunder stones.

At the Contribution Hall, the Disciples who heard Zhang Yang's request were all dumbfounded.

Who would exchange for so many thunder stones for no reason?

Although thunder stones were relatively common,

they were basically useless, and their Contribution Hall generally wouldn't store such things.

However, for the sake of the Face given by the nearly sixty Purple Sun Pills Zhang Yang provided, they still quickly gathered six tons of thunder stones.

Besides the thunder stones, Zhang Yang also bought some gold, which had other uses.

Returning to the courtyard, Zhang Yang first took out all the thunder stones.

Then, relying on his Physical Body strength, he pulled the purchased gold into extremely fine gold wires,

and then quickly tied them one by one onto the thunder stones.

After tying gold wires to all the thunder stones, Zhang Yang took out a wooden board,

and shaved the wooden board into a human shape according to his own body's silhouette.

Then, he poured the True Essence within his body into the gold wires and directly inserted the gold wires into the wooden board, exposing the gold wires on the other side.

Not until he had inserted all the gold wires tied with thunder stones into the wooden board,

did Zhang Yang obtain a human-shaped tool covered with discharging gold wires.

It was very similar to a bed of nails from his previous life, except the nails were replaced with gold wires.

On this human-shaped wooden board, at least ten thousand gold wires were inserted.

This was Zhang Yang's idea: since being shocked by multiple targets at the same time could speed up the process,

then these ten thousand gold wires were ten thousand targets!

To what extent would this Cultivate speed soar?

Zhang Yang was full of anticipation!

In the next instant, Zhang Yang pressed his body directly against the entire wooden board and used True Essence to maintain the stiffness of the gold wires,

preventing them from tangling together and being counted as a single target for the electric shock.

In an instant, ten thousand tiny electric currents surged into Zhang Yang's body.

The Myriad Thunder Induction Body Art within Zhang Yang's body began to operate as if it were going mad.

At the same time, a wave of numbness spread through Zhang Yang's entire body; that was the sensation brought about by his whole body rapidly strengthening.

After only thirty minutes, Zhang Yang's Myriad Thunder Induction Body Art had already reached the initial entry level.

"So good!"

Zhang Yang couldn't help but let out a long whistle; this feeling of his Physical Body rapidly becoming stronger was simply too exhilarating.

This Cultivate speed was truly too fast, more than a thousand times faster than before!

According to this Cultivate speed, it would probably take less than a day for Zhang Yang to Cultivate the Myriad Thunder Induction Body Art to Perfection!

By then, he would probably be able to win this Inner Sect Grand Competition relying solely on his Physical Body!

While his Physical Body was Cultivating the Myriad Thunder Induction Body Art, Zhang Yang didn't stay idle either;

he took out the Saber Intent insights given by Senior Jiang Dao and began to watch and study.

Simultaneously, using a divided mind, he visualized a precious saber in his mind to comprehend Saber Intent.

As for that box of Saber Technique Martial Skills, Zhang Yang planned to practice and reference them after he had Cultivated the Myriad Thunder Induction Body Art to Perfection.

With an extremely strong Physical Body after reaching Perfection, he would surely be able to speed up the Cultivate speed of these Martial Skills once again!

The sun set and night fell; Zhang Yang was now feeling refreshed.

In the span of a single day, this Myriad Thunder Induction Body Art had already reached Major Achievement.

Zhang Yang's Physical Body at this moment had undergone another transformation.

If he encountered that Profound Core Realm Martial Artist from last time again,

one punch! Just one punch! Zhang Yang could blow him apart!

Zhang Yang's current Physical Body strength was probably already comparable to some fourth-order Medium Grade Yao Beasts.

One must know that the Physical Body of a Yao Beast was generally a bit stronger than a Martial Artist of the same level.

If converted to a Martial Artist, Zhang Yang's Physical Body strength at this time was probably equivalent to around the seventh or eighth level of the Profound Core Realm.

The bright moon hung high, and pure white moonlight spilled down; Zhang Yang finally detached himself from the human-shaped wooden board.

He no longer needed this device; the Myriad Thunder Induction Body Art had reached Perfection!

"Fast, it's truly too fast! So fast I almost can't believe it!"

Zhang Yang clenched his hands, feeling the explosive power within his body, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

In just one day, he had Cultivated the Myriad Thunder Induction Body Art to Perfection!

It was truly terrifying to the extreme!

Compared to himself this morning, his Physical Body now was like that of a completely different person.

With his current Physical Body strength, Zhang Yang could blow apart his morning self with a single punch.

"Since the Myriad Thunder Induction Body Art has already been Cultivated to Perfection!"

"Then it's time to complete my final three Saber Technique forms!"

Zhang Yang stretched his body, and a sound like popping beans came from his whole body.

He then looked at the four wooden boxes in the courtyard.
