Thunderstorm Asthma? I’ll Just Drain the National Power Grid!

9: Ten minutes of charging will shock D.H.I.E.L.D. for a hundred years!Comfortable!

So comfortable, even my bones were groaning.

Lin Yuan felt every pore open up, sucking in this unparalleled ”delicacy.”

At the same time, the virtual panel in his mind flickered.

”High-purity lightning energy detected. god-tier charging system activated!”

”Primordial Thunder God Body begins absorption...”

”Body Power: 1%... 2%... 3%...”

The numbers soared madly!

Vast lightning energy surged through his limbs and bones.

The old injuries left by years of ”thunderstorm asthma,” the weak tissues and organs—

Under the baptism of this energy, they were rapidly being repaired, reshaped, and strengthened!

”Body Power has reached 5%!”

Boom!

Lin Yuan felt as if an invisible shackles within his body had been violently broken through!

A small vortex of energy gradually condensed in his Dantian.

Though small, the vortex contained power far exceeding what he had before!

”Congratulations, Host! Realm breakthrough!”

”Current Realm: E-rank - Awakening Realm (Peak)!”

Awakening Realm Peak!

He had reached the peak just like that?

Before Lin Yuan could even celebrate, another line of golden characters appeared on the panel.

”Congratulations to the Host for the first absorption of high-purity lightning energy, successfully unlocking the intermediate ability: Palm Thunder!”

Palm Thunder!

Lin Yuan’s heart stirred.

He subconsciously opened his right hand.

With a thought.

”Zzzzzzt—!”

A fist-sized ball of purple electric light condensed in his palm!

Countless tiny arcs of electricity danced on its surface, making crackling sounds and stirring the surrounding liquid lightning into ripples.

This was... the energy materialization that could only be initially mastered in the D-rank - Condensation Realm!

And he, at the peak of the Awakening Realm, had already achieved it!

Lin Yuan was so excited he almost laughed out loud in the thunder pool.

However, this was just the beginning.

”Body Power: 6%... 7%... 8%...”

Charging was still ongoing!

As the power continuously increased, Lin Yuan felt his connection with the surrounding thunder pool becoming tighter and tighter.

Initially, he still needed to actively ”absorb.”

But now, the lightning energy seemed to have a life of its own, eagerly rushing into his body.

”Body Power has reached 10%!”

When the number on the panel jumped to ”10%,” Lin Yuan’s body trembled!

A transformation originating from the depths of his genes began!

”Body Power reached 10%! Physique Evolved!”

”Congratulations, Host! Unlocked new talent: Lightning Control!”

”Lightning Control: Your affinity and control over all lightning energy have undergone a qualitative improvement. You can initially manipulate homologous energy in the external environment for your own use!”

If ”Palm Thunder” gave him the ability to create bullets.

Then ”Lightning Control” directly gave him a gun that could fire those bullets!

The moment he comprehended the new talent.

Within his Dantian, the small energy vortex suddenly expanded outwards!

Rumble!

A muffled thunder exploded within him.

The surrounding liquid lightning formed a whirlpool due to this power!

”Congratulations, Host! Realm breakthrough!”

”Current Realm: D-rank - Condensation Realm!”

D-rank!

He had entered the same realm as Li Wei!

No!

Even stronger!

He could feel that the energy within him was much purer and more condensed than Li Wei’s superficial wind blades!

From a sickly person who could ”suffocate” at any moment to a genuine D-rank ability user.

He only took less than two days!

And this was only 10% of the power!

If he filled up all the electricity in this pool... Lin Yuan’s heart burned with excitement, and the descriptions of higher realms in the ”Newcomer’s Guide” involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Above D-rank - Condensation Realm was C-rank - Surging Current Realm, where energy underwent a qualitative change;

Further up was B-rank - Reversion Realm, where one could initially leverage rules and was known as a ”walking natural disaster”;

And then, there was A-rank - Dharma Aspect Realm, capable of deploying a ”domain” and possessing the power to destroy a city with a single strike!

As for the legendary S-rank - Divine Domain Realm, it was the existence of a physical body becoming a saint, traveling through the stars, already like a god.

He looked at the still-flickering numbers on the panel, ready to let go and push the power to 100% in one go!

However, at this moment.

”Burp~”

A sudden burp escaped his throat.

Lin Yuan: ”?”

He froze completely.

Then, to his horror, he realized that the comfortable sensation, like soaking in a hot spring, abruptly stopped.

It was like a person who had been hungry for three days and three nights, devoured ten bowls of rice in one go, feeling full and bloated, wanting to vomit at the sight of food.

What’s going on?

Lin Yuan was a bit bewildered.

He stubbornly activated the Primordial Thunder God Body again, trying to continue absorbing the surrounding lightning energy.

But no matter how hard he tried, the lightning energy that was once so intimately connected could no longer merge into his body, not even a trace.

”No... don’t do this!”

”I’m not full yet!”

Lin Yuan grew anxious.

The Manchu Han Imperial Feast had just served an appetizer, and he was already being kicked off the table?

...At the same time.

In the monitoring room outside the thunder pool.

”Beep beep beep—!”

A piercing alarm suddenly blared throughout the room.

Old Researcher Zhang, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

”What’s going on?!”

He lunged towards the main control console, his eyes fixed on the data curve on the screen!

”Thunder pool energy reaction is rapidly decaying!”

”Eighty percent... seventy percent...”

”Energy leakage rate... 0%! Not a leak!”

”What the hell! Where did all the energy go?!”

Old Zhang’s fingers flew across the virtual keyboard, creating afterimages, trying to find the cause of the malfunction.

And Su Wanqing, standing beside him, was filled with shock.

She stared intently at the screen.

”Time in pool: 10 minutes 23 seconds”

Ten minutes!

That newcomer had stayed in there for a full ten minutes!

This had already broken the Dragon Shield Bureau’s highest record for all new lightning-type users entering the thunder pool for the first time!

What was the previous record again?

Four minutes and thirty seconds!

That was set by a super genius who later grew to be an A-rank - Dharma Aspect Realm!

”Old Zhang!” Su Wanqing’s voice trembled, ”Look at the energy consumption value!”

Old Zhang heard her and immediately switched interfaces.

”Total Thunder Pool Energy Consumption: 90%”

Ninety percent!

The entire thunder pool was almost sucked dry!

Old Zhang’s mouth was wide enough to fit an egg, and he gripped the control console, his body trembling slightly.

”No... no way?”

”Is he a glutton? He absorbed so much and didn’t burst?”

Su Wanqing swallowed with difficulty, looking at the much thinner purple thunder pool, muttering to herself.

”The Director told me to bring him for an extra meal...”

”He... he just ate the entire restaurant!”
