446: Advance to Diamond Level

Qin Shilei smiled and said, "Alright, everyone, rise."

Then, pointing to Nova beside him, he continued, "From now on, Nova will be your supreme commander. Anyone who dares to disobey her orders will be going against me, Qin."

"We respectfully obey Qin An King's decree."

The crowd then turned and bowed to Nova, greeting her, "Greetings, Commander Nova."

Having one of their own compatriots as their commander significantly reduced their internal resistance.

The live stream's view changed, leaving only Qin Shilei's face.

"Those who dare to offend the Qin An Royal Mansion, no matter where they hide, I will surely kill them!"

As his words fell, Qin Shilei's figure vanished, and the entire screen was left with only a bloody character for 'kill'.

Looking at the blood-red 'kill' character, the viewers of the live stream felt their breath catch, and a chilling sensation spread through their bodies.

They all secretly reminded themselves in their hearts not to provoke the Qin An Royal Mansion, otherwise, even though Blue Star was vast, there would likely be no place for them to hide.

Even a powerful country like Pretty Country, tens of thousands of kilometers away from Great Xia, for some unknown reason angered Qin An King, leading him to travel thousands of miles to capture all the Golden Experts within Pretty Country's borders.

From then on, Pretty Country would likely become a vassal state of the Qin An Royal Mansion, forced to bow down before Qin An King.

Such a clear example was laid before everyone, demanding their awe.

Even the keyboard warriors dared not post any more provocative words in Qin Shilei's live stream, fearing that Qin Shilei would track them down through the internet cable and cleave them with a sword.

Qin Shilei had temporarily postponed his promotion, so painstakingly making that bet with those people was to Deter the many Evolvers on Blue Star.

Now that his goal had been achieved, he looked up at An Qian and the others and said, "I'm going to try to get promoted. You all can protect me."

"Okay!" The three women replied in unison.

The three of them rode their Golden Winged Thunder Rocs to a Minefield located within Pretty Country's borders.

It was a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides.

No grass grew in the valley; the ground was a layer of scorched earth.

The sky above the valley was perpetually covered in dark clouds, and every ten minutes or so, a startling bolt of thunder would descend from the sky, striking the ground below.

Once, an Evolver, being chased by a mutated beast, happened to flee here and used the environment to scare away the beast.

The Evolver, having escaped death, told his friends about this experience, and after a Thunder-elemental Evolver heard about it, he came here to cultivate in seclusion, greatly improving his strength.

Later, for some unknown reason, this news spread on the chat channel, and many people learned of this place.

When Qin Shilei and his companions arrived, there were thirty to forty Evolvers standing near the valley's only exit.

He flew in front of those people and said loudly, "Qin wants to cultivate in seclusion here for a while. Would you all mind leaving temporarily?"

The Evolvers on the ground quickly recognized Qin Shilei and responded, "Qin An King has given an order, and we will naturally obey. We will leave now and wish Qin An King great progress in his cultivation after his seclusion."

In the blink of an eye, those people disappeared into the distance.

Qin Shilei turned to An Qian and the others, who had flown over, and said, "You all stay nearby. I'll go inside and experience it."

After speaking, he flew directly into the valley.

As soon as he stepped into the valley, an arm-thick bolt of lightning struck down towards his head.

Qin Shilei did not resist or dodge, allowing the lightning to directly strike his head.

A tingling sensation spread from his head throughout his body.

"The heavenly thunder here is truly extraordinary."

Qin Shilei instantly sensed that the heavenly thunder here was different from the naturally occurring heavenly thunder outside.

It was neither the masculine power of Evil Exorcism nor the lingering feminine power of Yin Thunder.

It seemed to contain a hint of vitality amidst destruction.

Under the impact of this heavenly thunder, the cells in his body were subtly damaged, and then seemed to burst forth with a stronger vitality.

Qin Shilei took out a cup of brewed Enlightenment Tea and drank it in one gulp.

Then he stood still, carefully experiencing the hint of vitality it contained.

Bolt after bolt of heavenly thunder continuously struck down from the black clouds.

Those heavenly thunders seemed to have taken Qin Shilei as an enemy, accurately striking his head every time.

Although these heavenly thunders were incredibly powerful in attack, Qin Shilei, possessing the Thunder Mark, showed no signs of injury despite being continuously struck by the heavenly thunder; instead, he revealed a comfortable smile.

As the heavenly thunder continuously struck, Qin Shilei's understanding of thunder deepened constantly.

Under the promotion of this understanding, the vital energy and cells in his body were also undergoing a subtle change.

Qin Shilei had a premonition that if he continued to comprehend in this manner, he would likely be able to successfully advance to the Diamond Realm in less than three months.

"Too slow!"

He sighed and flew out of the valley.

"How is it? Is it not effective?"

Zhang Xiaoli asked with a concerned expression.

Qin Shilei shook his head, "The effect is acceptable. If I continue cultivating in seclusion for two or three months, I should be able to advance to the Diamond Realm, but I feel it's too slow. I'm going to try another method."

Zhang Xiaoli chuckled, "If someone heard what you said, they'd probably beat you to death."

"Hehe!" Kong Qingshu giggled, "You're showing off in front of the three of us, you're asking for a beating."

As she spoke, she raised her delicate hand and lightly patted Qin Shilei a few times.

Hearing Qin Shilei say that he would definitely succeed in advancing within three months, the three women relaxed. After joking for a few moments, they once again protected Qin Shilei.

Qin Shilei took out tus staff and mobilized his mental power to communicate with the staff.

Immediately, a lightning ball emerged from the top of the staff.

Qin Shilei painstakingly controlled his mental power, keeping the lightning ball from firing, letting it float and shine at the front of the staff.

This lightning ball was completely different in nature from the heavenly thunder he had just experienced in the valley and the lightning ability he had previously unleashed.

Three minutes later, he had no choice but to unleash this move, Yin Thunder.

Countless dazzling thunderballs shot from the staff, striking Qin Shilei's body.

His body instantly glowed with lightning, and bolts of lightning erupted from his body.

With Qin Shilei's strength, the thunderballs he unleashed were countless times more powerful than those Steve had unleashed at that time.

Even though he could immunity most Thunder-elemental attacks, under the impact of these thunderballs, his hair stood on end, almost turning him into a 'Shamate' youth.

One minute later, the power of the Yin Thunder dissipated. Qin Shilei exhaled a puff of black smoke, turned, and re-entered the valley to continue comprehending the lightning within.

Eight hours later, once the cooldown for Yin Thunder was complete, he came out again and once more experienced the Yin Thunder unleashed by the staff.

He alternated his comprehension in this manner.

Soon, three days passed.

Qin Shilei felt that the time for his breakthrough had arrived, so he took out his last Yuan Breaking Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

Then he once again unleashed Yin Thunder upon himself.

This time, when the thunderballs struck his body, they did not scatter but instead clung to him, consolidating without dispersing.

The aura emanating from Qin Shilei grew stronger and stronger.

Boom!

An invisible ripple suddenly spread outwards, stirring up a massive gust of hurricane-force winds.

Countless thunderballs also shot out in all directions like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

An Qian and the two other women quickly flew into the distance, avoiding the astonishingly powerful thunderballs.

"Ding, Host has successfully advanced to the Diamond Realm!"
