32: Practicing both thunder and wind, a one-star warrior!

"Several years ago, during a large-scale spatial wormhole disaster."

"Lord Liu of Magic City obtained some crystals from a Marquis-level wormhole source."

Lord Liu is one of the Marquis-level powerhouses in Magic City!

It is said that above a Ten-Star Warrior is the Marquis rank!

A Six-Star Warrior is already the limit of Luo Feng City.

Only a large-scale Base City like Magic City can host Marquis-level powerhouses.

Such a powerhouse could easily destroy a satellite city like Luo Feng City!

Old He continued,

"Later, experiments revealed that these crystals could increase the number of genes related to Ability User Awakening within people."

"The authorities organized a series of experiments immediately, but we do not know the final results."

"We only know that since then, the authorities have banned the use of any related agents on humans."

Old He looked at the small figure crouching beside the medicine furnace, his eyes filled with emotion,

"Now it seems that the Qian family was using diluted forbidden drugs; otherwise, given their siblings' physiques, they wouldn't have been able to withstand it."

If these crystals could truly increase the number of Ability Users significantly.

Even if it required the cost of life, the authorities would surely have organized military personnel to conduct experiments to protect the populace.

But since they eventually announced a ban, it must have been not worth the cost.

Or rather, the lives required reached a horrifying standard!

This price is not worth it!

Li Canglan could hardly imagine what the little girl had gone through to persist in such a painful environment.

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

After all, Old He had seen too many storms and quickly adjusted his emotions.

He took out a bag of crystal cores and a scroll and handed them to Li Canglan.

"These are the Thunder Attribute and Wind Attribute crystal cores I exchanged for you, as well as a Cultivation Technique suitable for you to learn."

Li Canglan's gaze fixed on the scroll.

【Eight Directions Thunderclap: Draw upon thunder from all eight directions to temper the body, allowing the Martial Artist Mark to contain more Thunder Attribute energy.】

【Once mastered, the Thunder Attribute Martial Skill used will receive a certain boost, and every attack can inflict additional Thunder Attribute damage.】

The Cultivation Technique he had been practicing previously was the standard one released by the authorities: Five Animal Frolics.

Five Animal Frolics is suitable for building a foundation in the Qi Blood Realm and Body Tempering Realm.

However, after promoting to a Martial Artist, one needs to replace it with a suitable Cultivation Technique.

Li Canglan is currently at the eighth level of the Body Tempering Realm, and with the help of the crystal cores, he is only one step away from being a Martial Artist.

This is exactly the time he needs a Cultivation Technique.

This Cultivation Technique is a Thunder Attribute one, which matches his attributes quite well.

After all, it is not so easy to find a Cultivation Technique for Thunder and Wind Dual Cultivation.

Besides that, there was a box of Blood Tempering Agent on the floor.

For the previous Li Canglan and Zhang Ganchao, the Blood Tempering Agent was an exorbitantly priced supplement.

But for Old He, it was just a bit of pocket money.

A single high-quality crystal core could be exchanged for a pile of Blood Tempering Agent.

The little girl needed some time to brew the medicine, so Li Canglan began to cultivate in Old He's room.

Closing the door, Li Canglan first took out the Wind Attribute crystal cores.

He activated Gluttony Desire.

Surging Wind Attribute energy swirled around Li Canglan, beginning to repair the injuries on his body that had not yet fully healed.

After healing, the energy tide surged into his body, beginning to temper his Physical Body.

Body Tempering progress: 88... 90... 92... 94... 96... 100%!

Having consumed nearly half of the crystal cores, Li Canglan's Body Tempering progress finally reached Perfection!

Now, in terms of Realm, he had reached the same Realm as the Lone Wolf from the Duel Arena.

"Next, it should be the condensation of the Martial Artist Mark."

Li Canglan took out an emerald green crystal core from the bag.

【Gale Falcon Crystal Core (Three-Star)】

"According to Uncle He, the higher the concentration of energy absorbed during the Breakthrough, the stronger the initial Martial Artist Mark condensed will be."

"Although it won't affect the upper limit of final growth, at least it can provide stronger combat power in the early stages."

"Others try to use high-concentration elemental agents as much as possible; using a Three-Star Demonic Beast crystal core, the effect should be much better than others, right?"

For his previous Body Refining, he mostly used Thunder Attribute crystal cores.

Using the Gale Falcon crystal core to condense the Martial Artist Mark now would balance the progress of both.

Li Canglan closed his eyes and focused, activating Gluttony Desire to devour the energy.

Cool yet biting Wind Attribute energy surged into Li Canglan's body, beginning to continue tempering his Physical Body.

He activated the Five Animal Frolics Cultivation Technique, guiding the Wind Attribute force to begin condensing the Martial Artist Mark.

Swoosh!

Two emerald green air vortices swirled in front of Li Canglan.

The other Wind Attribute crystal cores piled beside him suddenly shattered with a crisp cracking sound.

Elemental energy escaped from them, making the air vortices become increasingly violent.

At the center of Li Canglan's brow, a mark resembling a soaring falcon was slowly condensing.

Time passed bit by bit, and this falcon mark slowly began to take shape.

Li Canglan sensed the remaining crystal core energy and continued to condense it.

Falcon head, neck, body, wings...

Before all the Wind Attribute crystal cores were fully absorbed.

Li Canglan's Martial Artist Mark was finally successfully condensed.

However, this was only a prototype.

If he stopped now, it would be a complete Gale Falcon Martial Artist Mark.

But he was not satisfied with this!

"Thunder!"

Amidst the flashing thunder, the Thunder Attribute crystal core shattered with a boom.

Terrifying Thunder Attribute energy filled the entire training room.

What he needs to do now is to use the Thunder Attribute to perfect this Martial Artist Mark!

This is the true Thunder and Wind Dual Cultivation!

Although it cannot give him double the elemental capacity.

But it allows him to switch freely when mobilizing elemental energy.

So that he is not just filled with Wind Attribute energy, which would be insufficient to support the output of the Thunder Attribute.

Outside.

The little girl had long since brewed the medicinal soup and fed it to her unconscious brother.

And because she let down her guard, exhausted from many days, she fell into a deep sleep.

The unconscious man lay in a water bucket, which was filled with thick blood!

The veins on his forehead were bulging, his expression ferocious, as if he were suffering unbearable pain.

The emerald green blood on his body had solidified, and the blood seeping from his wounds gradually turned red.

But the pain had not yet stopped.

A full-body blood transfusion is not an easy thing to endure.

This blood was all sourced by Old He using his connections to call it in from the hospital.

Otherwise, how could so much blood appear out of thin air just by relying on Heart-Cleansing Grass?

Wails of pain rang out in the hall from time to time, but Old He's attention remained on the training room.

"Canglan has been inside for over four hours; there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Although Old He was knowledgeable and experienced, he had only heard that some talents could devour the energy within crystal cores.

Hearing is not necessarily believing!

Without seeing it with his own eyes, it was hard for him to be completely at ease.

"I hope Canglan has a sense of proportion and won't do anything to harm his body just to break through his Realm as quickly as possible."

Inside the training room.

Fine electric arcs constantly flickered on Li Canglan's skin.

Rich Qi Blood surged like a tide, moving wantonly within his body.

Crack! Crack!

The crisp sounds of bones cracking rose and fell.

A moment later, Li Canglan suddenly opened his eyes.

Two beams of sharp light erupted from his eyes!

One-Star Warrior!
