The dense dark clouds condensed into a black umbrella in the sky.
Thunder rumbled from afar and slowly approached.
This situation was no different from the one at the Wind Tower. Everyone's eyes lit up.
Siao Tieying shook his head, "We're too stupid. Chu Li's Light-body Technique is so powerful. If he can't block it, he will run away!"
Mulin scoffed, "How bad can an Enlightened Master's Light-body Technique be? No matter how good his Light-body Technique is, can it be faster than lightning? … We thought the lightning wasn't fast and he could dodge it, but that's just an illusion. No matter how fast a master is, he can't be faster than lightning! It's fine if it doesn't move, but once it moves, it's unavoidable. "
"But Chu Li can dodge it." Siao Shi was not convinced.
She was not a martial artist but she had personally experienced how fast Chu Li was. In an instant, he could travel a few miles. It was beyond imagination.
"That's because he dodged it in advance." Mulin scoffed, "If he really waited for the lightning to strike, he would've been struck by lightning before he could even think about it!"
Zhao Qingshan said, "I think the lightning is coming very slowly. With Chu Li's Light-body Technique, he should be able to escape!"
"He can escape for a while, but can he escape forever?" Mulin pouted, "No matter how good his Light-body Technique is, can he not rest? How long can he last? "
Zhao Qingshan said, "Then there's no need for Chu Li to stay there and wait for the lightning to strike, right?"
"This is the smartest method. Unfortunately, it's useless. Struggling is futile. He will die sooner or later." Mulin shook his head and sighed, "The power of the lightning gets stronger the longer it accumulates. If he had escaped from the beginning, the lightning that greeted him would not be the same as the one just now! … Do you think with his intelligence, he won't know how to escape? "
Everyone nodded slowly.
"Did Chu Li run to the Martial Arts Hall?" Zhao Qingshan muttered, "Is there something in the Martial Arts Hall that can help him block the lightning?"
"That's impossible." Mulin shook his head.
"Let's go and take a look." Siao Qi said.
—
Chu Li sat cross-legged on the top floor of the Martial Arts Hall. He still had lingering fears.
He originally thought that with his sensing ability and his Light-body Technique, he would be able to avoid the lightning. However, when the lightning struck, he realized that he had underestimated the power of heaven. It was really unstoppable.
Earlier at the Wind Tower, his intuition told him that he should not escape. or else, he would attract even stronger lightning.
Heavenly lightning struck. He used his sense of danger to avoid the lightning bolts in advance, but in the end, the Wind-viewing Tower was like a pool of lightning. He had no choice but to flee and arrive at the Martial Arts Exhibition Hall.
Even if he was not a physicist, he had learned the basics from his previous life. Metals could conduct electricity.
The Martial Arts Hall and the Library were both tall buildings made of bronze. It was most suitable to be a lightning rod. He wanted to see if the heavenly lightning could break through the restraints of the laws of heaven and earth, bypass the bronze, and strike him.
Crack! A bolt of lightning broke through the darkness and turned into the word 'Z', appearing between heaven and earth. One end of it pierced through the dark clouds, and the other end pierced the roof of the bronze building.
The bronze building lit up for a moment, and the lightning was extinguished. Then, there was a loud rumble of thunder.
The weather was strange. The people in the Bronze Tower had already run out and were looking up at the noisy martial arts field with the guards.
"What happened?"
"What's going on? How can there be lightning on such a sunny day? "
While the people were discussing, Siao Tieying and the others approached the bronze building. There were already a few lightning bolts striking the bronze building.
The lightning bolts were like silver snakes, winding down the bronze building, falling from the sky and disappearing on the ground.
The bronze building was struck by lightning again and again. Electric sparks flickered on the building, and a suction force came over. It was as if they were being sucked in. Siao Tieying was shocked and quickly shouted, "Everyone, take a few steps back!"
Everyone took a few steps back, and the strange suction force weakened.
"Crack! Crack! The lightning bolts struck down faster and faster. They were so dense that they did not even have time to breathe.
The bronze building shone with a dark luster under the electric sparks. The original rust was peeled off layer by layer, and it shone with a black light. It was like a giant sword was stabbed into the ground, and the giant sword was surrounded by electric sparks. It was like a silver snake.
Siao Qi and Siao Shi bit their lips and stared at the bronze building nervously. The dazzling electric sparks made their cheeks pale.
The thunder roared, the lightning was dense, and the thunder was continuous. It was as if there was only the sound of thunder in the world. The lightning formed a sea of light, and gradually engulfed the Martial Arts Hall.
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the unimaginable scene in front of them. They did not know what was going on.
Other than Siao Tieying and Siao Qi, everyone else was very curious. What caused this strange phenomenon? Could it be the birth of some rare treasure? Or did the High Duke's Public House break through the Enlightened Mastery's Boundary?
Everyone was in a daze. After some time, the thunder slowly weakened, and so did the lightning. People could see the bronze building again, and they realized that the bronze building had changed. It did not change in height, but it seemed to have become thinner.
The thunder continued to weaken, and finally, the lightning disappeared.
The dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed.
Siao Tieying and the others did not feel happy at all. The dark clouds dispersed, and the lightning disappeared. It meant that the result was out. This time, Chu Li did not escape, but really …
"I'll go take a look!" Siao Qi glided into the Martial Arts Hall and went up the stairs to the top floor.
Chu Li was sitting cross-legged on the top floor, looking at her with a smile.
Siao Qi looked at him blankly, "Are you okay?"
Chu Li smiled and nodded, "I was lucky to escape."
Siao Qi's eyes showed a smile, but her expression was still calm, "How did you avoid it?"
Chu Li smiled, "The bronze building blocked the lightning for me, so it didn't hit me."
"Go down!" Siao Qi then smiled sweetly.
She had never smiled like this before. When she smiled like this, the world seemed to lose its color. Everything around them became dim, and Chu Li only had eyes for her bright smile.
"Everyone was worried." Siao Qi glanced at him, "Especially Second Eldest Sister!"
"Okay." Chu Li smiled.
Siao Qi turned and walked out, and Chu Li followed her down the stairs.
Siao Shi and Siao Tieying had already reached the second floor. When she saw him, Siao Shi's eyes widened, and her eyes were shining.
Siao Tieying was surprised and smiled, "Good, Chu Li, you're amazing!"
Chu Li smiled and closed fist saluted.
Guo Mulin looked at Chu Li doubtfully, "Young Chu, you're really lucky. How did you avoid the lightning?"
"This building protected me." Chu Li smiled.
"The building protected you?" Guo Mulin frowned.
He was skeptical, and the scene just now was a little strange. It seemed like the lightning was really channeled into the ground by the bronze building, and it might really be effective.
But if it was really that effective, it would be impossible for there to be no survivors.
"Second Eldest Sister has woken up, and Chu Li is safe. We should celebrate!" Siao Tieying laughed, "Come, let's go to my place!"
Chu Li smiled, "Second Lady's body is better, right?"
Siao Shi pursed her lips and nodded, but she did not know what to say.
Guo Mulin said, "The Eclipse Purloin changed her physique, and now she's healthier than the average person. She won't fall sick, and the Vitality Sealing Finger has also been removed!"
"Thank God." Chu Li smiled.
Everyone went down the stairs easily. When Chu Li was about to step out of the door, he suddenly stopped.
Siao Qi walked beside him, and turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"
Chu Li frowned, "I'm not in a hurry to leave the building."
He vaguely felt danger, as if once he stepped out of the bronze building, he would be killed.
Siao Qi frowned, "What's wrong?"
Siao Shi looked over, "Are you hurt?"
Chu Li shook his head, "Master, I want to stay here for a few days."
"Hmm, no problem." Siao Tieying nodded, and asked curiously, "Why?"
Chu Li smiled, "Intuition."
