Could it be that I am the cruel villain?-Chapter 787 - 451: Can’t Teach, Can’t Understand, Don’t Dare to Try

Crack —

A flash of lightning passed through the palm.

The group on the road paused and looked towards Lei Chuyu, also known as the mysterious "Young Master Lei."

The thunder light danced in his hand, a thunder pattern appeared in his palm, bringing waves of heat and pain, yet Young Master Lei's face remained unchanged, he flipped his big hand and started to carefully admire it, and as he looked, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

"Oh? Quite interesting."

"This person indeed has some talent; it's no wonder he was chosen by that Sword Immortal as a disciple. It is said that during the Martial Arts Gala of the Nine Peaks of the Purple Cloud Palace, this person showcased an impressive Thunder Technique, causing Chief Gu of the Purple Cloud Palace to be in quite a awkward situation. Although he was defeated, considering his age and talent, he is bound to achieve something in the future."

"It's a pity that such talent has fallen into the hands of the Purple Cloud Palace. Except for the Old Sect Master, only He Niu of Zhu Mingfeng has some significant insight into the Thunder Technique, which is rather tricky."

"But since Jiang Feng is not our Divine Thunder Valley disciple, I'm afraid he might threaten our sect's status in the future..."

The crowd exchanged looks.

This is the first disciple among the third generation of Divine Thunder Valley, a personal disciple of the Valley Master, not to mention possessing the Innate Yin Thunder Body, and no one can surpass him in cultivation. Although Jiang Feng has already begun to show promise, he is ultimately only a Core Formation Stage cultivator, the gap between the two is too great.

Moreover, why is it said to affect our sect's status?

Divine Thunder Valley hasn't had too many entanglements with most other forces, neither talking about good nor bad relations, related to the characteristics of Divine Thunder Valley, the sect only accepts disciples who have researched Thunder Techniques thoroughly, which is considered an unconventional path of going against the grain.

Over time, they have remained secluded in the mountains, developing steadily over countless years, and generations, leading to a somewhat subtle status among the many forces.

Although their shown attitude is not too threatening, with their growing strength, they can't be completely left unchecked. Therefore, the probing and vigilance against Divine Thunder Valley have naturally become increasingly stringent, while the activities of Divine Thunder Valley disciples have become increasingly frequent.

"What does Young Master Lei mean by this? How can Jiang Feng possibly threaten our sect's status?"

The groups laughed apologetically, although they were slowly exploring in the dark, the atmosphere here was noticeably more relaxed, Lei Chuyu's smile remained unchecked, however, anyone could see that his smile was not quite pleasing.

He flipped his palm over.

The crowd did not yet know what it meant, but the familiar thunder pattern appeared once more in the man's palm, the outlined curve shifting from blue to cyan, from cyan to purple, with the purple light faintly tinged with blood-red, making people dizzy, but they immediately seemed to realize something, hearts full of astonishment!

"This, this is..."

"Hmm, it seems that kid is provoking; quite bold indeed."

The smile gradually disappeared.

"Thunder patterns are divided into four grades: Common, Good, Superior, and Supreme."

"And the reason why Divine Thunder Valley has so many disciples today is largely because this cultivation technique is exceedingly friendly to humbler disciples; even those innately lacking and only at the Common grade can cross the chasm through their own efforts, cultivating the thunder pattern to the Superior grade. But if I remember correctly, Jiang Feng should have only been studying for three years, yet his thunder pattern contains traces of blood, showing the depth of his Thunder Technique research."

"Jin An, Yong An, Chang An, Tai An, if I'm not mistaken, you all entered as Good-grade, how many years have you cultivated to finally touch the Superior grade?"

Suddenly asked out of the blue.

The latter was startled, awkwardly responding, "Embarrassingly, I've been cultivating for fifteen years."

"Twelve years and seven months."

"Twenty-one years and three days."

"Seventeen years and three months."

The four exchanged glances, the silence deafening.

Only those who have cultivated this technique know how unfathomably complex it is, how much it depends on a flash of inspiration. Many cultivation techniques and Daoist skills aren't actually kept secret by the sect elders; rather...

They can't be learned.

They can't be taught.

They can't be understood.

A brain wholly blank, struggling with all one's might yet unable to comprehend the various symbols in the textbook, just like you in math class.

"You are by no means small fry within the sect; had your aptitude not been decent, how else could you four have been brought into the sect? But you've seen it too."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, three years, three years... If given another three years, or thirty, perhaps another Supreme Red Thunder Pattern will emerge. To date, only the successive sect masters' personal disciples of Divine Thunder Valley have reached this realm."

"Tell me, if his Red Thunder Technique truly reaches perfection in the future, with such a flagship figure, how should our Divine Thunder Valley compete with the Purple Cloud Palace for people? Is this statement correct?"

"Hahaha, just joking around, how come you're more anxious than I am..."

Although he brushed it off, acting unconcerned, Lei Chuyu's eyes were filled with emotion, even a touch of jealousy.

To know that when his master extracted the thunder pattern from his body, it was naturally of Superior grade. Only after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage a few years ago did he touch the edge of the Supreme Thunder Pattern. Yet, some young kid somehow snatched part of the remnants from his own people.

Then mysteriously studied it with thorough familiarity, even casually handling the Red Thunder Technique's Red Sun Infinite Chapter, having already cultivated it this far.

To say there is no envy would indeed be a lie.

The smile vanished from his face, expression gradually becoming restrained.
