Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Lin Hao’s Thunder Tribulation Is Righteous

[Lin Hao defeated a wild cultivator and acquired the technique "Lying Flat Skill [Fragment] (cultivation limit: early Golden Core Stage)"]

[Lying Flat Skill [Fragment] (cultivation limit: early Golden Core Stage):

A special technique which assists cultivation through the consumption of lethargic spiritual power paired with heaven-and-earth spiritual objects, and is one of the main cultivation techniques of a certain individual in the present world. Long-term practice provides the effect of avoiding celestial secrets.

Note: Lying down is preferred over sitting, and sitting is preferred over walking. Lying flat is a way to show goodwill to the Heavenly Dao, indicating no threat.]

[With outstanding comprehension, Lin Hao merged the "Longevity Spring Skill" (cultivation limit: late Foundation Establishment Stage) with Lying Flat Skill [Fragment] (cultivation limit: early Golden Core Stage)]

[Lin Hao achieved a cultivation technique breakthrough at the Golden Core Stage, perfecting the sect’s basic Golden Core cultivation method]

[Lin Hao named the technique "Lying Immortal Skill"]

It’s like having a pillow delivered when you’re feeling drowsy, just as I was thinking of how to find a technique that reaches the Golden Core Stage...

Thank you, wild cultivator, for the gift.

However, in Lin Hao’s perception, the state of his avatar wasn’t so good right now, as if on the brink of death, its life barely hanging by the strength of White Impermanence.

Sighing at this, Lin Hao took off the half-price milk tea cup hanging around him...

Back at the "exclusive cultivation room" at Ke Chen City’s stray dog shelter, Lin Hao put the half-price milk tea cup back on:

"Come forth, my avatar!"

As Lin Hao activated [One Energy Transforms into Two Pristine Ones], the avatar appeared again in front of him.

Upon seeing Lin Hao, the avatar anxiously said:

"That Pure Love Minotaur Warrior was just turned to ashes by the cooperation of me and White Impermanence Avatar, with the aid of thunder, our life crisis is over. Please return the remaining superior spirit stones to me, I haven’t been able to cultivate properly for five days!

You know I’ve not cultivated properly for five days!

A whole five days!

Do you know how I’ve managed?"

Looking at his avatar in such a worried state for cultivation, Lin Hao could only say:

"I know you’re anxious, but hang on a bit, let me synchronize your memories first."

Hmm...

Days without foot baths are indeed dreary.

Besides the routine of going to work and then home, there’s just eating.

No entertainment whatsoever, only occasionally the avatar would pretend to go to the bathroom to squeeze in ten minutes of cultivation...

Indeed, going to the bathroom during work doubles the joy.

Strictly speaking though, the avatar could pretend to go to the bathroom for hours and wouldn’t get fired.

As the boss, Li Chuchu would probably...

Suggest taking medication for constipation and be careful not to develop hemorrhoids.

Dull and repetitive life, just skip ahead.

Skip the timeline twenty minutes forward.

Hmm...

Making tea powder packets again.

Speed up the timeline a bit.

Ah, right, right.

It’s about sword flight!

Lin Hao has been eyeing sword flight for a long time...

Which boy hasn’t dreamed of sword flight in childhood?

After absorbing the avatar’s memories, Lin Hao suddenly felt that the childhood dream wasn’t unreachable.

Apparently, he had long become the adult he wanted to be.

Seems like sword flight isn’t as complex as Lin Hao imagined, doesn’t require any profound techniques.

Just like this...

First, pull out a sword.

Then, infuse it with magical power and envelop it with divine thought.

Next, fling it into the air and control it.

Finally, step onto it.

See, isn’t it simple?

The principle is like...

Lifting yourself by your hair.

Just with a little magic and a little divine thought thrown in.

But to fly fast and steadier, one might need to learn some...

Skateboarding techniques and flip through books related to aerodynamics.

Continue going through the memories.

Oh~

Turns out the benevolent wild cultivator was the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior.

Thanks to the senior cadre from the Extraordinary Universal School under the Lazy Legislator for sending the technique from a thousand miles away.

Although things were a bit off a few days ago, still...

Hahaha, the dead are great indeed!

It’s a bit of pity though; if the avatar had more Magical Combat with the other side, we might have been able to "pick up" more good stuff...

However, after synchronizing the avatar’s memories, Lin Hao felt that such regrets wouldn’t last long.

During the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior’s stream, Lin Hao’s avatar also "saw" some messages with divine thought.

The Extraordinary Universal School is likely to come to Ke Chen City...

There will surely be more opportunities for Magical Combat against the wild cultivators.

Though my strength remains at the late Foundation Establishment Stage, unable to directly impact the battle, in the meantime, let my avatar go stir the waters and spar with some weaker ones, wouldn’t all the cultivation resources be freebies?

Not grabbing a penny from a red packet feels like losing a million.

When some people from the Extraordinary Universal School come to "visit" Ke Chen City, I, being the "host," should extend some hospitality, right?

While extending hospitality, getting a bit of hard-earned money in return is quite acceptable, isn’t it?

The hard-earned money doesn’t necessarily have to be techniques cultivable to the Golden Core Stage; pseudo spirit roots or spiritual sources aren’t a must.

Just some...

Superior spirit stones are enough.

Zhen Haoren managed to earn three superior spirit stones!

Lin Hao’s demands aren’t high; getting ten Zhen Haorens like him who are weak but wealthy should be fine, right?

But again, it’ll trouble the avatar.

...

During the synchronized memory process, Lin Hao and his incarnation’s thoughts were on the same frequency. The incarnation sensed that the main body wanted him to work again.

Rolling his eyes, the incarnation urged Lin Hao to leave quickly.

Leaving it is, there are still some unfinished milk tea powder packages in the City Management Team’s warehouse that need to be wrapped up...

With this in mind, Lin Hao pulled out his sword.

Time to start sword flight.

[Lin Hao’s first attempt at sword flight]

[Flight posture normal]

[Flight environment normal]

Boom!

Just after taking off, not yet two hundred meters in the air, Lin Hao, who hadn’t fully picked up speed, suddenly felt...

Thunder and lightning.

[Flight environment extremely harsh]

[The "Curse of Thunder Tribulation" on Lin Hao attracted the attention of the thunder tribulation]

[The thunder tribulation settled above Ke Chen’s Little World felt like striking Lin Hao]

[But Lin Hao has no reason to suffer a thunder tribulation]

[The thunder tribulation is pondering]

[The thunder tribulation is pondering]

[The thunder tribulation is pondering]

[The thunder tribulation noticed the iron in the flying sword beneath Lin Hao’s feet]

[The thunder tribulation recalled how Lin Hao got through his first Foundation Establishment Stage thunder tribulation]

Lin Hao: ???

What the heck?

This is retaliation!

The Heavenly Dao is unjust!

Complaint!

Report!

The thunder tribulation is abusing its power!

But since the Heavenly Dao doesn’t have a hotline or complaint window like 12345, Lin Hao simply withdrew the sword beneath his feet.

Hey.

I’m going free fall.

I’m crash landing directly!

As he was about to reach the ground, Lin Hao pulled out his flying sword again for some cushioning.

He landed smoothly.

After Lin Hao landed steadily, the thunder and lightning in the sky quieted down.

[The thunder tribulation decided to wait for the next opportunity]

Lin Hao: Is it not okay if I don’t fly?

What a pity...

Finally mastered sword flight.

But it’s okay, there will always be a chance.

Once the Extraordinary Universal School sends resources, my strength will surely improve. Someday, I’ll be able to defeat the thunder tribulation.

...

"The plan to attack Ke Chen City is postponed."

The official communication platform of the Extraordinary Universal School added a new announcement.

Moreover, a short video was attached.

The video, shot from a first-person perspective, had a watermark with the creator’s ID in the upper right corner—

Pure Love Minotaur Warrior.

In the video, you can see the city gate of "Ke Chen City" and also a god-like figure descending from the sky.

Carrying the thunderbolt’s immense power...

Unstoppable!

...

In Diligence Manor, the Lazy Legislator lying on the bed also received this notification.

After watching it, he was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"The successor I’ve cultivated for so long and held in the highest esteem, how did he die again?"

"But it doesn’t matter."

Speaking, the Lazy Legislator got up and, sitting in an electric wheelchair, came to the elevator and went down to the 18th basement.

Ping.

The elevator doors opened.

In sight were rows and rows of cultivation tanks.

Inside each one, all had the appearance of the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior!

"Fortunately, I copied the memory of the most promising successor I’ve cultivated before he passed. No need to nurture another one from scratch."

Choosing a nearby cultivation tank, the Lazy Legislator inserted something akin to a USB, and the cultivation fluid fused into the Pure Love Minotaur Warrior’s body inside the tank.

When the new Pure Love Minotaur Warrior opened his eyes, at that moment, he was reborn.

But the next second...

"Boom!"

The roar of thunder exploded within Diligence Manor.

[Exploiting a loophole! Exploiting a loophole! Exploiting a loophole!]

[Strike you dead! Strike you dead! Strike you dead!]

Lazy Legislator: ???
