Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Lightning Element [PART 1]

After Xiang Yu got rid of the attacker’s body, he got back to training. He also made sure to have his qi sense on the lookout so he could make a run for it in case someone even more powerful came. Instead of continuing to practice the elemental palm techniques, Xiang Yu first studied the new Lightning Strike technique.

This was because he wanted to see if he could get some insights on the lightning element by practicing the technique. That way, he would be able to create a sixth elemental palm technique to add to his growing collection.

Studying the Lightning Strike technique wasn’t that hard. Xiang Yu already had some knowledge of the sword, so it was quite easy to pick up the basic movements and energy pathways. The illustrations in the manual showed precise positions for channeling the lightning energy through the blade, which he followed carefully.

He then spent some time circulating his qi, trying to transform his pure qi into the lightning element. Unlike the other elements he had transformed before, the lightning element was really hard to get the hang of. He guessed it was because it was a mutated element, different from the primary five elements.

When he finally succeeded in the transformation, he felt the violent lightning qi flowing through his qi pathways. The qi was quite unstable and was even hurting him when he tried to channel it, causing him to have to refine it even more. His meridians tingled painfully as the energy coursed through them, like countless needles pricking him from within.

After a few more hours of concentrated effort, he finally had the hang of it. He felt the lightning qi flowing softly through his meridians. When it finally spread to his sword, the energy showed its true nature, sparkling and crackling violently along the blade’s edge. He was very pleased with the progress—he could finally control the lightning.

Still, he felt that it was quite dangerous. If he didn’t handle the unstable lightning correctly, it might explode and hurt him from within. This meant that he needed more practice to master it compared to the other techniques. Still, the raw power was really impressive, he could feel that just this single technique could probably deal more damage than all the others combined.

He then summoned his system to see if the technique had been registered:

[High-grade Lightning Strike: Beginner (5/100)]

Seeing as it was registered into the system, he moved on to the fun part. Now that he had learned how to transform his qi into lightning, it was time to create the lightning palm technique. After doing it so many times with the other elements, he was already used to the elemental palm technique template, just replacing a few values. After trying it a few times, he succeeded. He was now able to infuse lightning qi into his palm to attack.

As he observed his glowing blue and silver palm that crackled every now and then, sending small arcs of energy between his fingers, he thought to himself that the lightning element was really destructive. He needed more practice to make sure that it didn’t hurt him when using. If he managed to completely master the element, it would be quite powerful.

...

Xiang Yu continued practicing the elemental palm techniques throughout the night. As for the lightning strike sword technique, Xiang Yu was already quite versed in the sword itself, so the only thing he needed to work on was just the lightning element itself, which he was already working on through the lightning palm technique.

He continued his practice until it was finally reset time:
