Chapter 70: Scatter Flowers, Thunderous Roar, Azure Lightning

It was just a momentary touch, but the recorded sound of the thunderstorm in Mike's memory chip shook him so violently that even the dormant thunder within him showed signs of awakening.

It took him a while to recover. Looking at the information in his hand, he finally understood the reason for this, "The so-called heavenly phenomenon is the materialization of natural phenomena, but in the hands of the evolved, their power is often not perfectly restored. This is because the evolved have limits to their spirit and flesh, and their understanding of natural phenomena is also limited. Just as humans cannot earn money beyond their cognition, the evolved also cannot exert power beyond their cognition."

He softly recited the content of the information, "To integrate the spirit and flesh with the fate and deepen the understanding of fate, is the only way to enhance combat power. Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental forces in the universe. Understanding this sentence can strengthen one's fate, right? It is far from that simple. According to the scientific framework from 500 years ago, you must understand what electromagnetism is, why it is one of the four fundamental forces of the universe, and all the related concepts."

"But in the extraordinary realm, the laws of physics have undergone tremendous changes. The ways humans perceive the world are only a few, what we see is what we think it is, but not the true reality. The electricity we use in our lives and the electricity generated in our bodies are not the same thing. In my understanding, fate is not a tool, but a system of our body."

"And thunder and lightning, they are a part of us. We need to accept the irrigation of thunder and lightning, to make ourselves more and more close to its nature, to achieve the effect I want, that is, elementalization!"

Hmm, it sounds a bit high-end.

Elementalization!

It seems that Mike's understanding of fate is still too shallow.

"To use the wuxia novels you read in your last life to explain, fate is like the internal cultivation method, and Praxis is the martial arts moves. They complement each other, and can then exert tremendous power. Each person's understanding of fate is different, just like practicing different internal cultivation, so the external martial arts moves also change."

Xia explained beside him, "The reason why Long Lin is so powerful is that her understanding of fate is far ahead, and she has taken the path of elementalization. Therefore, her Praxis is also overwhelmingly powerful. The information she left behind may be able to help you achieve a similar level."

"I see."

Mike flipped through these materials, most of which were research on Praxis.

But he ended up in his blind spot again.

He could read the words, but when put together, he couldn't understand them.

And with the route map of thunder and lightning circulating in his body, it was even more dazzling.

The only thing he could understand was the name of the Praxis.

Origin Praxis, Scatter Flowers.

Honorable Praxis, Thunderous Roar.

Victorious Praxis, Azure Lightning.

The names sounded pretty good, as expected of a girl's Praxis.

It's just that I don't know what the actual effect is.

"Scatter Flowers, you can just understand it as the foundation of elementalization, which can greatly enhance your physical qualities, whether it's attack, defense, or speed, it's a comprehensive upgrade. It's like forming a lightning armor on your body, very powerful. As for Thunderous Roar, you can just understand it as a super electromagnetic cannon. I saw that woman use Thunderous Roar to attack people back then, the damage was terrifying."

Xia complained, "As for Azure Lightning, I didn't see it back then, because the flash of the Praxis was too dazzling, it almost blinded my dog eyes."

"That's so cool."

Mike couldn't help but ask, "Is there only one Praxis for each stage?"

"Yes, even though Praxis is just a single move, it consumes a lot of your brain capacity. Each stage of Praxis only has one. This thing is precious, not abundant. Most people in this world are only stuck in the Origin Realm, and some can't even condense their fate, you should be content. That's why the precious experience left by the predecessors is so important... For example, if it wasn't for Long Lin's archives, you might not have a chance to advance to elementalization on your own."

Xia sighed, "After all, once the fate is formed, it cannot be changed, unlike martial arts moves that can be abandoned and relearned. So, if you also want to walk the true path of the strong, every step you take in the future must be cautious. Long Lin's archives can only help you reach the third Victorious stage. Whether you can walk the remaining path depends on yourself."

"I see, so I also need to be struck by lightning."

Mike thought about it, "Ruthless people are indeed ruthless, even the method of advancement is so special... Wait, it's the middle of winter, where am I going to find lightning?"

If there was no lightning, then he would have to endure the entire winter.

Xia glanced at him and smiled, "Don't panic, we're all in the same boat now. Would the Duke family mistreat their people? We have technology! Noah's Organization has weapons that can simulate solar radiation, ionizing the air molecules to form charged cloud layers."

Mike's eyes widened, "There's such black technology?"

"But they may not be willing to bring it out."

"Then what the hell."

"What does 'what the hell' mean?"

"Oh, it just means something."

"I see."

Xia nodded slightly, "Hoodwinking that group of idiots at Noah's Organization is not difficult at all. Just go and ask them about the progress of the 6th generation Demolition Cannon, and Bishop Lionel will turn red with anger. Then just casually provoke him a bit, and he'll bring out the new weapon for testing. Their weapon will explode, and then you'll have the thunderstorm you wanted."

"Is Bishop Lionel really that stupid?"

"You have to believe it, he's even dumber than that."

"Wait, if this new weapon explodes again, won't Eric be in trouble again?"

"Brother, what else can you use this thing for besides screwing him over? Besides, you'll be helping him. The more Noah's Organization wants to use him, the more valuable he becomes. Who knows, maybe one day he can even go to Celestia City? For young people like him, you just have to train them ruthlessly! Train them to death if they don't die."

"Hmm, that's very reasonable."

Xia waved to the young man, signaling him to withdraw, and reminded him, "Hide that file quickly! Is there no place in your pants? Don't let anyone find it! Stealing from the forbidden library is a serious crime, and I'll have to make a fake file and put it there tomorrow."

Mike reminded, "Secretary Xia, we're taking it!"

Xia revealed an expression of an educable child.

"Oh yes, we're taking it, openly and honestly."

When Mike walked out of the forbidden library, the battle on the front line was already in the final stages.

In the hall of the military headquarters, Isabelle was sitting obediently on the sofa, carefully reading the newspapers from the military base, her skin having a kind of transparent quality.

After noticing someone coming out, she lifted her eyes and got up from the sofa.

Even when standing up, her hands were placed on her knees.

"Your sister here is quite good-looking and well-behaved."

Xia smiled, "Is this the family member assigned to you when you first came to the military? How strange, such a beautiful young girl and she turns out to be a low-intelligence one? It's possible that there was some problem with the population resource library, sometimes their work can be like this. Due to too much bribery and helping too many people, the family allocation plan was disrupted, and you might have gotten lucky."

This careless remark made Mike feel a sense of crisis.

Because Isabelle is a witch.

A witch who escaped from the Necro Cult's laboratory.

And Isabelle herself seems to have the ability of foresight, perhaps this is the reason why she has been able to escape from Necro Cult repeatedly, or why she has survived until now.

But Necro Cult must also be tracing her whereabouts.

Perhaps they have already tracked down the population resource library, or even the welfare institute.

Likely, Mike and Isabelle have already been targeted.

Viewed in this light, the choice to rely on the Duke family was quite wise.

Because endless hiding is useless.

When someone finds you, you will be powerless to resist.

Ember's survival principle is to prove one's value.

As long as they are exposed to the sight of the big shots, no one will dare to touch them.

"Now is the time to showcase the technology, watch carefully."

Xia picked up the intercom, "Front line, report the situation!"

Noisy voices came through his earpiece, a mixture of artillery fire and roar.

Interspersed with the dispatcher's report.

After a moment, Xia angrily said, "Even after breaking the immortality of these aberrants, the casualty rate is still so high? Convey my orders, and immediately have Noah's Organization activate the 6th generation Demolition Cannon, the Annihilation Solar Storm! I want to launch a devastating strike on the rear of the aberrant tide!"

The next moment, an unhappy roar came through the earpiece.

"Xia, are you senile? Jumping straight to the 6th generation Demolition Cannon?"

That was the bellow of Bishop Lionel.

Xia sneered, "Lionel, are you afraid? Afraid that your superiors will cut your budget? You must have turned the 6th generation Demolition Cannon into a one-time explosive, haven't you?"

Bishop Lionel was furious, "Bullshit! Can you call that an explosion for our mechanics? Just wait! Brothers, get the 6th generation Demolition Cannon out of the armory! My good disciple, today the vindication battle of Noah's Organization will depend on you!"

Eric let out a bone-chilling scream.

"Done."

Xia took off his earpiece, rubbing his aching ear canal, "Just wait for your thunderstorm."

Mike was dumbfounded.

Even the indifferent girl Isabelle fell into deep thought.

How can there still be such stupid people in this world?

Xia made another phone call, and his little assistant came down from the top-floor office.

The assistant was carrying a potted plant in their hands, a red spiny plant that was still smoldering with flickering flames, with sap flowing from the roots like molten lava.

This was the so-called "red stinging nettle".

Semin, the CEO's beloved potted plant.

Rumor has it that the CEO cares for it like his own son.

But Xia didn't even glance at it, grabbing and tearing off a large handful of the branches and leaves.

The branches and leaves of the red stinging nettle visibly cooled and dulled, becoming those of an ordinary plant.

"Take it away,"

he waved his hand, "I'll explain to Semin the old ritual master when he returns."

Mike bowed deeply, leading his sister.

Well, you gave him something, didn't you?
