57: Advice for Thor

"Continue, see if you can try increasing the intensity?"

Thunder God said coaxingly, while continuously perceiving the changes within his body and the environment.

Hearing Thunder God say this, Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow and attempted to release more spores into the air.

The entire 500-square-meter martial arts training room seemed covered in a thin layer of dust; following the sunlight streaming in from the window, one could see star-like specks of spores slowly drifting in the air.

Although the density of the spores was nothing to Thunder God, given his talent, he vaguely grasped something.

Watching Thunder God sitting cross-legged on the ground with furrowed brows, seemingly lost in realization, Qiao Yu did not disturb him.

Qiao Yu was actually a bit curious if the spores could invade the body of a Planetary Level powerhouse.

Seeing that Thunder God was currently in a state of no resistance, Qiao Yu secretly drove the spores to pour into Thunder God's body.

It was a pity, however; relying on Thunder God's Planetary Level Physique, the spores were quickly killed by the white blood cells within his body the moment they entered his respiratory tract. Not only did they fail to achieve anything, but they were even absorbed and utilized by him instead.

Since that was the case, Qiao Yu no longer attempted to invade Thunder God's body and just quietly waited for his realization to end.

Holding his broadsword, Qiao Yu was trying to imitate the blade strike Thunder God had just executed, but that fleeting moment contained a Profound Truth that was too complex, and Qiao Yu was still lacking a bit of insight to grasp it.

By now, Qiao Yu could completely and freely execute the first layer of dark force of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, but despite trying to unleash the second layer of dark force during the isolation period, he had yet to succeed.

After about half an hour, Thunder God finally finished his realization and opened his eyes.

"How was it?"

Seeing Thunder God open his eyes, Qiao Yu asked, showing absolutely no respect for the so-called worlds second strongest person, nor any honorifics a disciple would use for a Revered Master.

"I have gained some insights."

The bald man in the white robe only nodded slightly; it was obvious his insights were limited.

Qiao Yu recalled that in the original story, Thunder God realized his Domain based on Hong's advice, by transcending the Perfection of ancient Indian yoga and Chinese internal martial arts, eventually stepping into the Realm of the Domain.

He wondered if reminding Thunder God to start from this angle now would allow him to realize the Domain earlier.

"Although I don't know what the Domain you mentioned means, what I am currently displaying was also realized from ancient Indian yoga and Chinese internal martial arts."

"Director-General, you might as well try to gain insights starting from ancient Indian yoga and Chinese internal martial arts; perhaps it will give you a satisfactory answer."

Qiao Yu said indifferently, acting as if he were deep in thought.

"Ancient Indian yoga? Chinese internal martial arts?"

Thunder God looked at Qiao Yu with furrowed brows, then shook his head.

"Many of us outstanding Martial Artists who have experienced the Great Nirvana Period are veteran Martial Artists proficient in ancient fist techniques; otherwise, we wouldn't call our power system the Martial Artist system."

"Whether it is Hong's 'World Destroyer' or my 'Nine-Layered Thunder Blade', as well as other Secret Manuals on Earth, they were all created by combining some ancient martial arts with the power of people today."

"And I have even practiced ancient Indian yoga and Chinese internal martial arts to the highest Realm of Perfection, achieving unity of heaven and man, and unity of body and spirit, yet I still cannot display a Domain. Therefore, this path may not necessarily work."

Seeing Thunder God deny his suggestion, Qiao Yu was not in a hurry.

In the original story, it was only after Hong's guidance that Thunder God re-studied ancient martial arts. As for Qiao Yu, he was only an Elementary Warlord; when it came down to it, his words carried little weight, and he could not convince Thunder God.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yu shook his head helplessly and responded.

"Who decreed that the Realm of Perfection in ancient fist techniques is the peak? Genes are constantly breaking through genetic limits, and Martial Artists are constantly breaking through the limits of their Physical Body. How is it that when it comes to martial arts, you stop seeking progress once you reach the unity of heaven and man?"

Upon hearing this, the bald man in the white robe lowered his head in silence. After pondering for a good while, he finally nodded in agreement.

"Kid Qiao, you are right; I was a bit too arrogant. You are right; I have been constantly breaking through the limits of my Physical Body, and my cultivation Realm even surpasses Hong, thinking that this alone would allow me to surpass Hong, but I was misled by my own obsession."

Seeing that Thunder God had accepted his explanation, Qiao Yu nodded with satisfaction and stroked his non-existent long beard.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad. You are teachable."

"Hmm?"

The bald man in the white robe seemed to recall something; he walked to Qiao Yu's side and delivered several consecutive whip kicks to Qiao Yu's buttocks.

"Damn it, you're putting on airs now, kid? You've become a Master now, huh?"

"Ouch, ouch, Director-General, stop hitting, stop hitting..."

Qiao Yu clutched his buttocks and hopped on the spot.

"Alright, alright. Now it's time to talk about serious business."

The bald man, Thunder God, adjusted his robe, his expression turning serious.

"Are you sure you want to venture into the Wilderness Area alone? You really don't plan to train by my side?"

Hearing Thunder God say this, Qiao Yu felt unhappy. How could he let him ruin his plan of dominating the Wilderness Area alone?

"Director-General, you also know that I have the shadow of that so-called Domain, so naturally, I need to continuously temper myself to make further progress. An environment that is too much like a greenhouse is not suitable for my growth!"

"I feel that I am quite suitable for stimulating my own potential in extreme environments; why not let me try first."

Seeing that Qiao Yu didn't seem to be joking, Thunder God couldn't say much more.

"Fine, it's hard to persuade someone determined to go their own way. Your path of growth is indeed different from ordinary people. I have seen countless Geniuses, but they can only make Breakthroughs in the Physical Body Realm or the psychokinetic Realm."

"You are the first Martial Artist I have seen to touch the threshold of a Domain at the Warrior level. Conventional growth may not be suitable for you, so proceed according to your own ideas."

"The prerequisite is that if you can clear out a city of Beast General Level within half a year, or let me see your growth; otherwise, go back and train according to the original training methods of the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School. I cannot allow a Genius Martial Artist to perish because of my decision."

Seeing Thunder God agree to his plan of venturing into the Wilderness Area alone, Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. However, his fungal nest was currently built in County-level City No. 0201, and he didn't know if he could still enter after it was blocked off.

Qiao Yu was also considering whether to reveal the full capabilities of his fungal swarm to Thunder God.

Thunder God had already noticed the existence of the fungal swarm. If he didn't reveal everything, not only would he have to start over, but any future development would inevitably lead to being besieged by the authorities and the two major martial arts schools again.

If he revealed everything, Qiao Yu was not sure if Thunder God would kill him directly.

Should he gamble?

Seeing Qiao Yu in a contemplative state, Thunder God found it amusing.

A moment ago, he was swearing that he wanted to go, and now he is hesitating?

"If you don't have the diamond drill, don't try to handle the porcelain work. I will have someone arrange for you to go to the Genius training camp later, and you can train according to the training methods there..."

"Director-General, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it..."
