348: The laws of our ancestors cannot be changed.

Lin Yu's fist collided with Zhao Tianyang's giant hammer once again.

Boom!

The airwaves rolled.

At the moment of contact, a faint blue arc of electricity, thinner than a strand of hair, silently burrowed into Zhao Tianyang's massive body along the edge of the fist.

[Lightning Spell].

Origin Level power, extremely restrained.

Zhao Tianyang's body only trembled imperceptibly before being covered by a violent fighting spirit.

He didn't notice any abnormality at all.

Once.

Twice.

Ten times.

As the close-quarters combat between the two grew more intense, more and more lightning energy was stealthily injected into Zhao Tianyang's body by Lin Yu.

Finally.

In the monitoring room, Wen Yan, who had been staring at the data, was the first to notice something wrong.

"Wait..."

He pointed at one of Zhao Tianyang's arms on the screen.

"Look, what's that?"

Everyone looked over at the sound.

On the arm that Zhao Tianyang had just used to clash fists with Lin Yu, a tiny blue arc of electricity flashed and didn't immediately dissipate.

"More than that," Zhong Huai leaned lazily against the back of his chair, legs crossed and resting on the edge of the console, looking quite nonchalant.

He pointed at the screen.

"Look closer."

Everyone focused their attention once again.

This time, they saw clearly.

As the exchange of blows between Lin Yu and Zhao Tianyang grew faster, the frequency of the blue arcs of electricity increased.

It was no longer just a flash.

Instead, it was like a maggot in the bone, stubbornly clinging to the surface of Zhao Tianyang's body.

At first it was just one arm, then the second, the third... soon, Zhao Tianyang's massive Shura Body was covered with leaping blue lightning snakes.

Hiss...

In the monitoring room, the sound of people drawing in sharp breaths rose and fell.

Chen Jing's jaw almost dropped to the floor.

"Thunder and lightning... lightning attribute?"

"When did Zhao Tianyang awaken a lightning attribute?! How did I not know!"

He felt his understanding being overturned.

He had studied the Shura class countless times; its core was pure physical destruction and violent will, having nothing to do with elemental power!

Wen Yan and Zhong Huai exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of realization in each other's reaction.

"Divine Revelation Mission," Wen Yan whispered.

"Looks like this kid is the initiator," Zhong Huai's lips curled into a playful arc.

Their guesses were being confirmed.

Zhao Tianyang was indeed the legendary initiator of the Divine Revelation Mission chosen by the God of Thunder.

And this strange lightning before them was likely a sign of the mission's activation.

Only... this method of activation was a bit too peculiar... Inside the Duel Arena.

Lin Yu felt a surge of joy in his heart.

It worked!

He could clearly feel that the Origin lightning energy he injected into Zhao Tianyang's body had reached a saturation threshold.

Like a balloon being constantly inflated, it was about to have its most brilliant explosion.

Zhao Tianyang seemed to have noticed the abnormality in his body; the attacks from his dozen or so arms showed an imperceptible lag.

Now!

Lin Yu thought to himself.

"Explode!"

Boom—!

Without any warning.

Zhao Tianyang's massive body suddenly stiffened.

In the next second, thousands of blinding blue flashes of lightning exploded from within his body!

That was no ordinary lightning.

It was Origin Level power compressed to the extreme, released savagely in an instant!

The violent lightning snakes formed a massive thunderstorm that swept through the entire Duel Arena!

"Sizzle—!"

The ear-piercing sound of current almost tore through one's eardrums.

Under the baptism of this thunderstorm, the entire floor of the Duel Arena was charred black, and countless stones were turned to dust by the electricity.

All the screens in the monitoring room were instantly covered in a blinding white light, all instruments emitted sharp alarms, and then they all went black.

"Holy crap!"

"Quick! Restart the backup power! Switch the observation angle!"

Chen Jing was so startled by this sudden turn of events that he jumped straight out of his chair.

The scene inside was truly terrifying.

It didn't look like someone's skill.

It was more like a natural disaster!

Was it Lin Yu's attack? Or was it Lin Yao, who had been quiet all along?

Everyone's hearts were filled with doubt.

However, when the backup footage was reconnected, everyone was stunned.

In the center of the thunderstorm.

The Shura, who should have been blown to pieces, hadn't fallen.

Instead... he opened his seven hideous heads and made a swallowing motion toward the raging lightning around him.

The violent lightning energy dissipating in the air, enough to destroy everything, seemed to have found an outlet, turning into blue torrents that frantically flooded into Zhao Tianyang's body!

Lin Yu was dazed.

What's going on?

This isn't how the script goes!

Shura... can even absorb Lightning Spell?

The energy he had painstakingly injected, instead of severely wounding him, had become his tonic?

Fine, fine, as expected of a God-tier class, damn physical damage immunity and elemental damage healing?

How are you supposed to fight this?

In the monitoring room, the crowd that had just been in chaos now fell silent.

They looked at Zhao Tianyang on the screen, who was like the God of Thunder descended to earth, their faces filled with shock.

"So... so that's how it is," Chen Jing muttered to himself, his shock instantly turning into ecstasy and relief.

He knew it!

How could Zhao Tianyang be suppressed so easily!

It turned out that this world-destroying thunderstorm was actually his own skill!

First show weakness to the enemy, then detonate lightning to clear the field, and finally reclaim the energy to strengthen himself!

What an exquisite tactic! What a powerful trump card!

The more Chen Jing thought about it, the more excited he became. He looked at Zhong Huai with a hint of showing off in his tone.

"Officer Zhong, did you see that? This is a true Mythic Rank! Zhao Tianyang, he..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a lazy voice.

"Shut up."

Zhong Huai didn't even look at him, still in that half-dead posture, legs resting on the console and gently swinging.

But his expression was incredibly serious.

Chen Jing's boasting was choked back into his throat by those two words, his face instantly turning the color of pig liver.

He wanted to lash out, but he didn't dare.

Everyone was as quiet as cicadas in winter, turning their attention back to the Duel Arena that had turned into a lightning hell.

Lin Yu stood at the edge of the thunderstorm, arcs of electricity leaping on his black armor, making "crackling" sounds.

He looked at the Shura who was frantically devouring the lightning, without the slightest bit of frustration in his heart.

What a gluttonous display.

So you can absorb it, huh?

Physical immunity and elemental healing, is it?

Fine.

Let's see just how big your stomach is!

Since ancient times, the most classic tactic against guys who can eat and absorb like this is to bloat them until they explode!

The ancestral method cannot be changed!

Zhao Tianyang, you kid, just keep eating!
